完形填空的语篇中往往渗透着相关的如文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。考生在做题时,若能积极地调动自己的文化背景知识和生活常识,巧妙地加以运用,特别是注意中西方文化的差异,将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程,从而节省宝贵的时间,作出正确的选择。语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。ThecapitalcityofRepublicofKorea,Seoul,isputtingup300newstreetsignswiththepurposeof1._____________(warn)pedestriansaboutthedangersofwalkingwhileabsorbedintheirsmartphones.
