24、明文。文章介绍了中国古典舞蹈这种艺术形式。1which/that解析:释义:考查定语从句。空处引导一个定语从句,修饰“another classical dance form”,从句中缺少主语,故应用关系代词which/that。2an解析:释义:考查冠词。修饰后面的dance form,表示泛指,且incredibly以元音音素开头,故应用不定冠词an。3known解析:释义:考查过去分词。此处作of the most comprehensive dance systems的后置定语,又与其是被动关系,故用过去分词known。4Until解析:释义:考查连词。根据语境可知,此处表示“直到最近
25、,中国之外几乎没有什么人听说过中国古典舞蹈。”until表示“直到为止”。5what解析:释义:考查宾语从句。从句“they had just seen”中“seen”为及物动词,缺少了宾语,故应用what引导宾语从句,what作see的宾语。6was_established解析:释义:考查动词时态和语态。时间是2006年,用一般过去时态,而主语“the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company”和“establish”之间为被动关系,故应用一般过去时的被动语态。7traditional解析:释义:考查形容词。修饰名词culture,故应用形容词作定语。8present
26、ing解析:释义:考查动名词。在include后应用动词ing形式作宾语。9better解析:释义:考查副词比较级。根据语境可知,此处隐含比较意义,且much修饰比较级,故应用比较级。well的比较级是better。10stories解析:释义:考查名词单复数。tell a story或tell stories意为“讲故事”,是固定搭配。该句意:芭蕾舞和中国古典舞蹈都能讲述故事,并通过这两种美好的艺术,使我们感动。故此处应用复数。.短文改错(2019辽宁沈阳九中模拟)Yesterday Mr Smith, from Canada, gave us a lecture about his cou

29、词。3itsits解析:释义:考查代词。its是it is的缩略形式,而its意思是“它的”,为物主代词。4sayspeak解析:释义:考查动词。表达“说某种语言”,用动词speak,而不是say。5differentlydifferent解析:释义:考查形容词与副词。这里是形容词作is的表语,因此不可以用副词。6threethird解析:释义:考查分数表达法。分母用序数词,而不可以用基数词。7waterswater解析:释义:考查名词的单复数形式。water只有表达“某江、河、湖的水域”时才可以用复数,一般表达“水”时为不可数名词。8a lot后加of解析:释义:考查短语。a lot一般用作
30、状语,修饰动词或者形容词、副词,而a lot of作定语,修饰名词。9makesmake解析:释义:考查主谓一致。which在这里指代前面的forests,因此代表复数名词。10BesideBesides解析:释义:考查副词。beside是介词,意思是“在旁边”,而besides是副词,意思是“此外”。.书面表达(2019山东实验中学模拟)假如你是李华,你将负责接待来自美国友好学校的师生。请你用英语写一篇欢迎词,内容包括:1表示欢迎;2介绍活动安排;3表达相互交流的愿望。注意:1词数100左右;2可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。One possible version:Ladies_and_g
