答案详解
1. has become 句中“in recent years”(近年来)是现在完成时的标志性时间状语,主语“oracle bone script”(甲骨文)为单数名词,因此谓语动词需用“has become”。
2. Dating “date back”(追溯到……)的逻辑主语是后文的“it”(指代甲骨文),二者之间是主动关系(甲骨文“追溯到”某个时期,而非被追溯),需用现在分词作伴随状语。又因该词位于句首,首字母需大写,故填“Dating”。
3. earliest 根据语境“the... known form of Chinese writing”(已知的……汉字形式),结合常识可知甲骨文是“已知最早的”汉字形式,此处需用形容词“early”的最高级“earliest”。
4. hidden 句子为“leave + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”结构,宾语“the majority of this ancient writing system”(这一古老文字系统的大部分)与“hide”(隐藏)之间是被动关系,需用过去分词“hidden”作宾语补足语。
5. who 此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是“humans”,指人且在从句中作主语,需用关系代词“who”引导从句。
6. technologies 根据后文“such as image recognition”(例如图像识别)提示此处指“多种技术”,需用复数形式“technologies”。
7. accelerates 句子描述的是AI在研究甲骨文时的客观功能,属于一般现在时范畴。主语“this”(指代前文AI的工作方式)为单数,因此谓语动词“accelerate”(加速)需用第三人称单数形式“accelerates”, 并与后文“minimizes”并列。
8. ★beyond 根据后文“It also plays a vital role...”(它还扮演着重要角色……)可知,AI的意义“不止于”技术突破,“extend beyond”是固定搭配,意为“超出、不止于”。
9. to decode “ability”(能力)后常接不定式作后置定语,构成“the ability to do sth”(做某事的能力)的固定结构,因此需填“to decode”(解读)。
10. that/which 此处为限制性定语从句,先行词是“narratives”(叙述、表述),指物且在从句中作主语,需用关系代词“that”或“which”引导从句,符合“连接青铜时代与数字时代的表述”这一语义。
Test 2
Oracle bone script, 1 ancient form of Chinese writing carved on turtle shells and animal bones, has recently become a hot topic in the AI world. With a history of over 3,000 years, it 2 (create) during the Shang Dynasty and used primarily for divination, recording details like the Shang people’s daily lives, 3 (religion) beliefs and early governance. Today, it’s seen as a key 4 understanding China’s early civilization, yet its old and complex characters have long been a challenge for researchers.
Now AI has stepped in 5 (break) through these challenges. Traditional manual work, like recognizing unknown characters or 6 (piece) together broken oracle bone fragments, takes years. But AI, 7 (train) on high-resolution images of thousands of oracle bone inscriptions, can quickly analyze character shapes and match them to modern Chinese characters. It also speeds up fragment restoration by comparing the edges and patterns of broken pieces, 8 makes the work much more efficient.
This combination of AI and oracle bone study 9 (be)not just about speed. It’s opening doors to new discoveries. For example, AI can spot hidden connections in inscriptions that humans might miss, helping researchers learn more about Shang Dynasty society. Even with small problems like improving recognition 10 (accurate), this field holds great promise for uncovering more of China’s ancient cultural secrets.
答案详解
1. an 此处表示泛指“一种古老的汉字形式”,“ancient”发音以元音音素开头,需用“an”,而非“a”。
2. was created 主语“it”(指代甲骨文)与谓语动词“create”是被动关系(甲骨文被创造),且动作发生在商朝(过去时间),需用“一般过去时的被动语态”,故填“was created”。
3. religious 空格后“beliefs(信仰)”是名词,需用形容词作定语修饰名词;“religion”是名词(宗教),其形容词形式为“religious”(宗教的)。
4. to 此处为固定搭配“a key to doing sth”,表示“做某事的关键”,“to”是介词,后接动名词“understanding”,故填“to”。
5. to break “step in”后接不定式“to do”表目的,意为“介入去做某事”,此处指“AI介入以突破这些挑战”,故填“to break”。
6. ★piecing 结合题干分词,此处“piece” 为动词。“like”是介词,后接动名词表举例;且“recognizing unknown characters”与“piecing together broken fragments”是并列关系。
7. trained 空格处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰“AI”;“AI”与“train”是被动关系(AI被训练),故填“trained”。
8. which 此处为非限制性定语从句,修饰前文整个句子(“通过对比碎片边缘和图案加快修复速度”这件事),关系词在从句中作主语,指代整个句子时需用“which”,不能用“that”。
9. is 主语“this combination”(这种结合)是单数名词短语,且句子描述的是当前的客观情况(AI与甲骨文研究的结合不仅关乎速度),需用一般现在时,故填“is”。
10. accuracy 此处表“识别的准确性”);“accurate”是形容词(准确的),其名词形式为“accuracy”(准确性)。
Test 3
Oracle bone script is the earliest mature type of Chinese writing, with 1 history spanning over 3,000 years. It first appeared during the Shang Dynasty (about 1600–1046 BCE) and was 2 (primary) carved on turtle shells and the shoulder bones of oxen, from 3 it gets its name.
In the Shang Dynasty, rulers used this script for divination. They would carve questions on the bones, such as “Will it rain during the harvest season?” or “Will our army win the war?” Afterward, they heated the bones until cracks formed, and 4 (interpret) these cracks as “guidance from ancestors” to inform their political and military decisions.
5 its long-standing history and significant role, the study of oracle bone script still faces challenges. So far, we 6 (identify) a large number of distinct characters from oracle bone script, yet many of them remain undecoded. Most of these characters are pictorial or symbolic, and they have laid an essential foundation for the Chinese characters we use now. Furthermore, the inscriptions offer 7 (value) insights into the daily lives of Shang people, including their farming 8 (practice), religious rituals and military campaigns.
First 9 (discover) in the Yin Ruins of Anyang, Henan Province in the late 1800s, oracle bone script is a precious treasure of Chinese culture. Nowadays, with the assistance of AI technology, experts are accelerating their efforts 10 (understand) unknown characters and restore broken bone pieces, helping us uncover more details about China’s early civilization.
答案详解
1. a “history”此处是可数名词单数,表示“一段3000多年的历史”,需用不定冠词修饰;故填“a”。
2. primarily 此处需修饰动词“carved”(雕刻),形容词“primary”(主要的)不能修饰动词,需转化为副词形式“primarily”(主要地),意为“甲骨文主要刻在龟甲和牛肩胛骨上”。
3. which 此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是“turtle shells and the shoulder bones of oxen”(指物),且关系代词前有介词“from”,此时只能用“which”引导从句。
4. interpreted 句子描述的是商代的历史行为,时态为一般过去时;且“interpret”(解读)与前文“heated”(加热)、“formed”(形成)为并列谓语,需保持时态一致,故填过去式“interpreted”。
