25、o treat考查非谓语动词。此处为不定式短语在句中作目的状语，且与主语之间是主动关系。6which考查定语从句。先行词指物，关系词在非限制性定语从句中作介词的宾语，故填关系代词which。7various考查形容词。空格处作定语，用于修饰空后的名词ways，故填形容词various。8is followed考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。主语是动作的承受者，结合语境可知，此处应用一般现在时的被动语态。9are考查动词的时态。结合上下文语境可知，此处应用一般现在时态。10illnesses考查名词复数。a wide range of“广泛的”，修饰可数名词复数，故空格处应用illness的复数形式illnesses。tips 语法填空之提示词为形容词、副词(1)所给提示词是形容词或副词时，需要考虑是否填比较级或最高级。首先可观察有无标志词“than”，然后再分析语境深层次的含义，看是否存在比较对象。(2)所给提示词是形容词时，还需要考虑是否应转化为副词或名词。此时应在结合语境的前提下，重点分析句式结构，看空格在句中所充当的成分来定答案。例如上文中第2题给出的提示词为形容词wide，分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作状语修饰动词，故应用其副词形式。
