25、o connect考查非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处是不定式作目的状语，故填to connect。5chairs考查名词复数。chair是可数名词，根据其后的谓语动词provide和语境可知，此处表示复数概念，故填chairs。6that考查连词。根据该句中的“so”，并结合语境可知，此处考查固定用法so . that .，意为“如此以至于”，引导结果状语从句，故填that。7the考查冠词。此处表示“访问网络”，Internet常和定冠词the连用。8are考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处为一般性描述，应用一般现在时；分析句子结构可知，本句是一个被动句，主语为the kinds
26、of food，表示复数概念，故填are。9less考查副词的比较级。根据句中的“faster”和“than”可知，此处含有比较的意味，故填副词的比较级less，修饰动词affected，在句中作状语。10they考查代词。否定副词Seldom置于句首，引起部分倒装，系动词are位于主语之前，空处指代上文提到的“the highspeed trains”，是复数概念，故用they。tips 语法填空之考查连词和介词 (1)当空格前后是两个并列成分，如两个主谓结构完整的词、短语、句子等，而且相并列的成分相互之间存在并列、转折、选择、因果关系等时，那么空格处一般是填并列连词或复合句中关联词。此时一般是考查定语从句中关系代词的用法，有时也考查名词性从句、状语从句的连接词或常见的并列连词。例如上文第6题。(2)若设空处后是名词、代词、动名词或what从句，且它们不作主语或动词宾语时，很可能就是填介词。若设空处前是动词且设空处后为名词、动名词，设空处也可能填介词构成动词短语。
