专题四 语法填空
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了寓言的形式在今天仍然具有价值。
1.to teach 考查非谓语动词。句意:几千年来,人们通过讲寓言来教一堂课或传授智慧。根据句意可知,此处表达“来教一堂课”,所以用不定式作目的状语。故填to teach。
2.sixth 考查数词。句意:寓言是许多古代文化口述传统的一部分,而著名的伊索寓言可以追溯到公元前6世纪。century意为“世纪”,前面要用序数词形式。故填sixth。
3.as考查定语从句。句意:然而,正如蕾切尔·卡森在《明日寓言》中所说,寓言的形式在今天仍然具有价值。引导非限制性定语从句,且有“正如”之意,用关系代词as引导。故填as。

4.where 考查定语从句。句意:“从前,在美国的中心地带有一个小镇,那里所有的生命似乎都和周围的环境一起享受着和平的生活,”她的寓言是这样开头的,借用了许多古老寓言中的一些熟悉的词。句中先行词为town,在非限制性定语从句中作地点状语,所以空处用关系副词where引导。故填where。
