答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了一位画家画画栩栩如生,有一天他将画送给宰相时,这位睿智的老人告诉他去漓江旅行——也许他可以从世界上最伟大的艺术家那里学到一些东西。画家最后发现这位世界上最伟大的艺术家就是大自然母亲。
1.whose 考查定语从句引导词。此处为限制性定语从句修饰先行词artist,且定语从句中缺少定语,故用whose引导。
2.finest 考查最高级。结合空前出现的all great artists可知,这里表示“呈现出他们最好的作品”,故用形容词的最高级。
3.be chosen 考查被动语态。would后需跟动词原形,主语he与谓语动词choose之间是被动关系,故用be chosen。
4.curiosity 考查名词。with为介词,后面需要跟名词做宾语,filled with curiosity表示“充满好奇”之意。
5.When/As 考查状语从句。当他问漓江岸上的村民在哪里能找到这位传奇的艺术家时,他们微笑着指着河的下游。此处表示“当……的时候”,故用When/As。
6.pointed 考查时态。根据空前的动词smiled可知,此处也应用一般过去时,表示当时的动作。
7.to find 考查动词不定式。第二天早晨,他租了一条船,出发去寻找那位著名的画家。这里用to find表示目的。
8.gently 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,这里需要用副词gently来修饰动词moved。
9.surrounding 考查动词-ing形式。当他看到雾从漓江上升起,而山顶上乌云环绕,他不禁流下了眼泪。see sb./sth.doing sth.表示“看到某人/某物正在做某事”。
10.on 考查介词。on
