34、 to “build our new Great Wall _10_ our flesh and blood”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了有关长城的一个传说，还介绍了长城在中国人民心目中的重要地位。1where考查定语从句。句意：很多人不得不离开他们的家园和家人去北方，在那里他们努力工作了多年。分析该句结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“the north”，在从句中作地点状语，故用where来引导该从句。2moving考查形容词。句意：在关于长城的传说中，孟姜女的故事最令人感动。该句主语为表示物的“the story”，故用形容词moving“令人感动的”。3was c
35、alled/had been called考查动词的时态和语态。该句陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时；该句主语为“her husband”，和动词call之间为被动关系，故用被动语态；根据该句中的“After”和“missed”可知，孟姜女的丈夫被传唤去筑长城后，她非常想念她的丈夫；据此可知，空处也可以用过去完成时。故应填was called/had been called。4that考查固定搭配。她如此思念她的丈夫，以至于走了很多路去看望他。so . that .为固定结构，意为“如此以至于”。5to be told考查动词不定式的被动式。根据语境可知，该处表示未曾想到的结果，故用动词
36、不定式作结果状语；该句主语为“she”，和动词tell之间为被动关系，表示“被告知”，故用动词不定式的被动式。6extremely考查副词。句意：她非常悲伤，哭了三天三液，直到长城一段段倒塌。修饰形容词用副词，故用extreme的副词形式修饰形容词sad。7has become考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：历经数个世纪，长城已经成为中国人民团结和力量的象征。根据该句中的“Over the past centuries”可知，该处应用现在完成时；该句主语为“the Great Wall”，为单数形式，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填has become。8strength考查名词。根据语境以及该句中的“unity”可知，空处和名词“unity”并列，作介词“of”的宾语，故用其名词形式。9a考查冠词。根据语境可知，该处泛指“一个共同的意愿”，will当“意愿”讲时为可数名词，且common的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。10with考查介词。句意：例如，在抗日战争期间谱写的国歌，号召人民“用我们的血肉筑成我们新的长城”。空处表示“用”，故用介词with。
