40、decorating,所以此处谓语应用第三人称单数形式。ing考查非谓语动词。设空处做动词represent的宾语,所以用动词-ing形式。4.than考查固定搭配。根据前面的more以及后面的asymbolofgoodfortuneandwealth可知,此处用than。morethan在此处意为“不仅仅是”。5.decorated考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,them与decorate之间是动宾关系,所以用动词-ed形式。6.Certainly考查副词。设空处位于句首,修饰整个句子,应该用副词形式。7.with考查介词。beassociatedw
41、ith是固定搭配,意为“与有关”。8.tocare考查非谓语动词。此处为“be+adj.+todo”结构,其中不定式做状语。9.beautiful考查形容词。由后面的longbranches可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词。10.the考查冠词。设空处修饰后面的序数词first,所以用定冠词,特指“第一个”。九、选词创境运用下列写作词汇,自己创设一个语境,形成一个小语段。(35句)novelist,in vain,violent,live up to,be bent on doing答案There was a famous novelist who wrote a novel about a scientist.The scientist wasbentonexploring a violent volcano.Unluckily,many times he was invain because of the terrible weather.The author organised the novel in many wonderful plots.It is said that the novel livesupto his reputation.
