83、o考查介词。根据句意可知,中国诗歌的历史可以追溯到2,700年前的春秋时期(公元前770公元前476年)。该句中的datebackto.是固定短语,表示“追溯到,从就开始有”。57.because/since/as考查状语从句。因为秦始皇毁掉了所有可以找到的书,所以在那之前记录很少。根据语境可知,此处应用because/since/as引导原因状语从句。58.belocated考查被动语态。在该句中locate表示“查明,找到”,在that引导的定语从句中,that与locate之间为被动关系,因此用belocated。59.changed考查动词的时态。根据句意可知,唐朝前的几个世纪间,中国
84、诗歌的风格、习惯、规则逐渐发生了变化。这是在描述过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。60.productive考查形容词。空处位于名词poets之前,修饰人,因此用形容词,再结合语境可知,此处应用productive表示“多产的”。61.highly考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰谓语动词regarded,因此用副词。high和highly都可作副词,前者表示具体意义的“在高处,向高处”;后者表示抽象意义的“钦佩地,赞赏地;很,非常”。根据语境可知,此处用副词highly。62.painters考查名词。根据下文的“calligraphers”可以推断,此处指“画家”,故用painters。6
85、3.the考查冠词。forthepurposeofdoingsth是固定搭配,意为“为了”。64.meaning考查名词。根据空前的“deeper”和空后的“moreelegance”可知此处用名词meaning,表示“意义”。65.tofind考查非谓语动词。本句是“Itis+形容词+todosth”句型,其中It是形式主语,不定式是真正的主语。故填tofind。第四部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华,在你校学习的英国交换生Tim发邮件说他下学期要选修一门艺术课,学校共开设两门课程:中国书法(Chinese calligraphy)和中国绘画(Chinese pa
