般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语Theorganization为第三人称单数,所以be动词用is。故填isdedicated

to。

第三节语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,共10分)

阅读下面句子,根据句子内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词,在给出

提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

15.Alotmoreplasticwaste(throw)into(heoceanlastyear.(所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】wasthrown

【蟀析】

【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:去年,更多的塑料垃圾被扔进了海洋。根据时间状语lastyear可知,时

态应使用一般过去时态,throw“扔”与主语plasticwaste之间是被动关系,应使用一般过去时的被动语

态,又因主语是不可数名词,be动词用was。故填wasihrown。

16.Luckily,theparents(put)awayalltheclothesbeforeitrained.(所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】hadput

【解析】

【详解】考查时态。句意:幸运的是,父母在下雨前把所有的衣服都收起来了。设空处作谓语,根据时间

状语从句beforeitrained可知,此处表示过去的过去发生的动作,应用过去完成时。故填hadput。

17.Shewantsajobhermanagementskillscanbeputtogooduse.(用适当的词填空)

【答案】where

【解析】

【详解】考查定语从句。句意:她想找一份能将她的管理技能派上用场的工作。分析句子结构可知,空处引

导定语从句,从句缺状语,先行词是抽象地点名词job,故用关系副词where引导从句。故答案是where.

18.Toniaccidentallyslippedonthewetfloor,(injure)hisarmbadly.(所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】injuring

【解析】

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:汤姆不小心在湿地板上滑倒了,结果手臂受了重伤。句中有谓语动词

slipped且句中无连词,故空格处应用非谓语动词,injure意为“使受伤”,Tom与injure为逻辑上的主谓

关系,故应用现在分词injuring,作结果状语,表示滑倒导致的自然结果。故填injuring。

19.Thepoliticiansdeliveredseveralpowerful(speech)attheconference.(所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】speeches

【解析】

【详解】考查名词复数。句意:政客们在会议上发表了几次强有力的演讲。分析句子可知,设空处应填名

词作宾语,且根据several“几次”可知,此处应用可数名词复数形式,speech的复数形式为speeches。故

填speecheso

20.Thegovernment(invest)2billionRMBinrenewableenergybynow.(所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】hasinvested

【解析】

【详解】考杳动词时态。句意:到目前为止,政府已经在可再生能源上投资了20亿元人民币,根据时间

状语"bynow(到目前为止)”可知,句子应用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has+过去分词”。主语The

government是第三人称单数,助动词用has;invest的过去分词是invested。故填hasinvested<.

21.Themedicalstudentswereunsureabouttheyshoulddowiththeemergency.(用适当的词填空)

【答案】what

【解析】

【详解】考杳宾语从句引导词。句意:医科学生不确定紧急情况下他们应该做什么。分析句子结构可知,

介词aboul后有一个完整的句子,即介词后有一个宾语从句。宾语从句的动词do“做”需要接一个宾语,

连接代词what“什么”符合语境,且能充当宾语。故填what。

22.Thelittlechildmadegreatefforts(reach)fortheripepearhangingonthebranch.(所给词的适当形

式填空)

【答案】toreach

【解析】

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:这个小孩努力去够挂在树枝上的熟梨。分析句子可知,设空处应填动词

不定式作目的状语,"makeeffortstodosth.”为固定搭配,意为“努力做某事"。故填toreach。

23.Nowadays,theInternet,aswellasmodernsatellites,(connect)remoteareasglobally.(所给词适

当形式填空)

【答案】connects

【解析】

【详解】考查主谓•致。句意:如今,互联网和现代卫星连接了全球的偏远地区。木句描述客观事实,时

态用一般现在时;aswellas连接两个主语时,谓语动词与前面的主语保持一致,即与IheInternet保持一

致,theInternet为第三人称单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式connects“连接”。故填connects。

24.When(question)aboutitsfactories,damagetotheenvironment,thepanyinsistedthatiihaddone

nothingwrong.(所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】questioned

【解析】

【详解】考查状语从句中的省略。句意:当被问及工厂对环境的破坏时.,该公司坚持认为自己没有做错任

何事。当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时或从句主语为it,且从句含有be动词时,可以省略状语从句

的主语和be动词。本句中的时间状语从句完整句子为whenthepanywas(question),主语thepany与

question“问”为被动关系,本空用过去分词,与空前的was构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填

questionedo
