25、sign为非谓语动词；因为a new program和design之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表被动，故填designed。4was thought考查时态和语态。and连接的前后两句时态要保持一致；又因为That first episode和think之间是被动关系，故填was thought。5perfectly考查副词。副词修饰动词，此空应用副词形式。故填perfectly。6an考查冠词。此处泛指一位网络用户，表泛指用不定冠词，online以元音音素开头，故填an。7like/including考查介词。此处表示举例或包括，like意为“类似，像”，including意为“包括在内”。故填
26、like/including。8which/that考查定语从句关系词。areas后面接了一个定语从句，areas是先行词，指物，在从句中作主语，故填which/that。9surrounding考查非谓语动词。areas和the stories是并列名词，所以此空为非谓语动词；the stories与surround之间是主动关系，故填surrounding。10products考查名词复数。designers 后面是一个定语从句，从句谓语动词create后面缺乏宾语，此空应用名词作宾语；且此处表复数概念，故填products。tips 语法填空之提示词为动词 (2)第一步：若句中已有谓语动词，又不是并列谓语动词时，应考虑该空考查非谓语动词。第二步：根据非谓语动词在句中所作成分、句式的特殊要求，确定用非谓语动词的哪种形式。第三步：确定非谓语动词与其逻辑主语之间是主谓关系还是动宾关系。例如文中第9题：They focus on areas _8_ are still not accessible to the public and the stories _9_ (surround) them.分析：考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词focus，因此应用其非谓语动词形式，又因为stories与surround之间为主谓关系，因此用现在分词形式。
