77、。59.to praise考查非谓语动词。结合语境可知此处应用不定式作目的状语,所以填topraise。beusedtodosth“被用来做某事”。60.The考查冠词。句中LiBai作poet的同位语,而介词短语fromtheTangDynasty是后置定语,所以空处应填定冠词The表示特指。61.richness考查名词。空前and一词决定其前后单词词性相同,and前prosperity(繁荣)是名词,所以空处应该也是名词,形容词rich的名词形式是richness。62.were called考查动词的时态和语态。Sthbecalledsth“被称为”,是固定搭配;由时间状语inanci
78、enttimes(在古代)可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。63.most colorful考查形容词最高级。由句末介词短语“amongalltheflowers”(在所有的花之中)可知,这里应用形容词的最高级,所以填mostcolorful。64.acts考查动词的时态及主谓一致。本段描述的都是客观情况,故应用一般现在时;句子的主语是Aredrose,而不是ratherthan后的yellowroses,所以谓语动词应该用单数形式,故填acts。65.Sending考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中缺少主语,所以应用动词-ing形式作主语,故填Sending。第四部分写作(共两节,满分
