[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文.文章探讨了中国
龙与西方龙的区别,强调中国文化中龙象征权力、
卓越和好运,而西方文化中的龙常代表邪恶.两
种观念的差异源自不同的文化价值观.关键在于
全球应欣赏中国龙所蕴含的文化价值,而非纠结
于名称翻译.
1.a [考查冠词.句意:这是一个在中国一直存
在争议的问题,因为有人说这两者在中国和西
方神话中是有区别的.此处泛指“一个问题”,
且subject以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a.
故填a.]
2.typicaly [考查副词.句意:他们说,龙通常被
视为混乱的象征,在西方神话和文学中被描述
为敌人.本空用副词typicaly“通常”,修饰动
词seen,作状语.故填typicaly.]
3.described [考查非谓语动词.句意:他们说,
龙通常被视为混乱的象征,在西方神话和文学
中被描述为敌人.本句谓语为areseenas,此处
为非谓语动词,且 describe“描述”与逻辑主语
Dragons构成被动关系,用过去分词,作后置定
语,修饰 Dragons.故填described.]
773
基础必备 必修第一册
4.excelence [考查名词.句意:在中国文化中,
龙被视为权力、卓越和好运的象征.本空用exG
celence“卓越”,与power和goodluck并列,作
介词of的宾语.故填excelence.]
5.hasbeen [考查时态和主谓一致.句意:几千
年以来,龙一直是中国文化中的一个中心概念,
其起源可以追溯到中国早期文明的神话和宗教
信仰.根据时间状语forthousandsofyears可
知,本句使用现在完成时,主语 TheLoong是第
三 人 称 单 数,因 此 助 动 词 用 has. 故 填 has
been.]
6.Since/Because/As [考 查 原 因 状 语 从 句.句
意:由于龙被认为可以控制雨和水等自然现象,
并与土地的生产力有关,龙成为力量和好运的
象征.本空用since/because/as“因为”,引导原
因状 语 从 句,位 于 句 首,首 字 母 大 写.故 填
Since/Because/As.]
7.tohave [考查非谓语动词.句意:由于龙被认
为可以控制雨和水等自然现象,并与土地的生
产力有关,龙成为力量和好运的象征.bebelieved
todosth.“被认为做某事”.本句谓语为 were
believed,此处 为 非 谓 语 动 词,本 空 用 不 定 式.
故填tohave.]
8.in [考查介词.句意:中西方神话生物信仰的
差异源于文化价值的不同.本空用介词in,表
示“在方面”.故填in.]
9.arerooted [考查时态和语态.句意:中国和西
方对这种神话生物信仰的差异根植于他们的不
同文化价值观中.本句陈述事实,用一般现在
时,主语differences与动词root“(使)生根”构
成被动关系,因此使用一般现在时的被动语态,
主语是复数,be动词用are.故填arerooted.]
10.that [考查表语从句.句意:重要的是,随着
我们进入一个新的农历年,全球人民都能欣赏
到龙这样的中国象征所体现的文化价值.本空
引导表语从句,从句不缺少任何成分,也不缺少
含义,用that引导.故填that.]
