10、enerally。3making考查现在分词作状语。句意:中国北方有着干冷的冬天和炎热的夏天,这使得卡路里和盐分的补充十分重要。该句前半部分为事实的陈述,谓语动词为experiences,后半部分为结果状语,不独立成句,make不能作谓语。此处应使用现在分词作结果状语,表示由前半部分的事实推导出后半部分的结果。故填making。4where考查定语从句关系副词。分析句子结构可知,“dishes are lighter in flavour”为定语从句部分,且句子成分已经完整,故对于前面的先行词the south(表示地点),应使用关系副词where进行连接,在这里where等于in which
11、。故填where。5products考查名词。本句中“a variety of”意为“多种多样的,各种各样的”,而其所修饰的名词product为可数名词,应使用复数形式。故填products。6served考查过去分词。句意:饺子在北方是非常受欢迎的,可以蘸醋吃。该句中谓语为are,后半部分为状语,serve不作谓语,其与主语dumplings构成被动关系(被提供),故应使用过去分词作状语,常用搭配be served with意为“和一起提供,端上”。在这里表示饺子和醋会一起被提供,饺子要蘸着醋吃。故填served。7of考查固定搭配。此处为固定短语“for the purpose of”,表
12、示“为了,目的是”,of为介词,其后接名词或动名词。故填of。8are based考查谓语及被动语态。主语most meat dishes与base构成被动关系,be based on意为“基于,在的基础上”,在这里表示这些佳肴是基于后面所列举的食材制作而成的,且主语为复数。故填are based。9There考查there be句型。句意:由于寒冷的天气,新鲜蔬菜的供应变少了。运用there be句型表达客观世界中事物的存在与否,此处there are less表示由于天冷,蔬菜少了,又因该空在句首。故填There。10its考查代词。句意:西北因它的干果和啤酒而出名。该空之后为名词短语dr
13、ied fruit and wine,这些东西是西北的(它的),故应使用形容词性物主代词。故填its。. 阅读理解The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its wooden roof have been largely damaged.
