71、生了改变。1changed考查非谓语动词。句意：从我来到昆明的第一天起，我的所见所闻改变了我对中国的认识。句中使用have sth. done结构，其后的宾语my understanding与动词change之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词changed。2foreigners考查名词的数。介词to后面跟名词，foreign是形容词，foreigner为可数名词，外国游客不止一人，故用复数形式foreigners。3but考查连接词。句意：跟我说话的人都是讲汉语，所以我不太明白，但这确实让我重新思考了我原来的看法。前后文为转折关系，故用but。4getting考查非谓语动词。句意：随着我中文水平
72、的提高，从房东把我介绍给能帮助我们学习中文的人，到认识附近经营一家面馆的那对夫妇，我的整个旅程都是如此。from.to.“从到”，后跟动名词短语做宾语，与上文my landlord introducing me to people构成并列结构，故填getting，get to know逐渐熟悉。5friendly考查形容词。be动词后跟形容词作friendly, 构成词组be friendly to对某人友好。故填friendly。错误分析有同学错填friends，they will be friends to you表示“他们会和你交朋友”，对某人友好不等于和某人交朋友。6an考查冠词。句意
73、：中国并不是一个例外。exception为可数名词，此处泛指“一个例外”，且是元音音素开头的单词，故填an。7especially考查副词。句意：不要从一个国家的媒体报道来判断它，尤其是一些西方媒体，他们有很多偏见。本句用副词表示特别强调，“尤其是，特别是”，所以用especially。8where考查连接词。本句为定语从句，修饰先行词Kunming，且先行词在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where。9is developing考查动词时态。本句描述目前此时此刻的情况，用现在进行时，主语为单数，故填is developing。10were考查谓语动词，要注意时态，语态，人称一致。5单词拼写1
