3.where　考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“Northeast China”,表示地点,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故填where。 4.described　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词“would not be”,describe需用非谓语形式。describe与逻辑主语“Zigong”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语,故填described。 5.are made　考查动词时态和语态。此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时。“Most Chinese lanterns”与“make”之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,故填are made。 6.varieties　考查名词复数。 “varieties of...”为固定短语,意为“各种各样的……”。 7.production　考查名词。根据空前的“Lantern”及空后的“is”可知,此处应用名词作主语,意为“生产,制作”,不可数,故填production。 8.national　考查形容词。此处修饰名词“heritage”,应用形容词形式,意为“国家的,国家级的”,故填national。 9.presenting　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词“have taken”,present需用非谓语形式。present与逻辑主语“The clever hands of Zigong craftsmen”之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式作伴随状语,故填presenting。 10.a　考查冠词。 “name card”为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一张名片”,故填a。 知识积累卡 一、1.神秘　神秘的　2.净化　净化　3.庆祝　庆祝 4.时刻　5.象征　象征　6.可怜的,困苦的,悲惨的　痛苦,不幸　7.神奇的　魔术,魔法 二、1.纪念　符号;标记　2.展示　现在;礼物　出席的,在场的 三、1.起源于　2.拥抱自然　3.避开,挡开　4.参加　5.提前 四、1.人们相信,象征幸福与好运的女神拉克什米会在这一天环游地球,并进入那些干净、整洁且明亮的人家。 2.如果不提及四川省的一座城市——自贡,对中国灯笼的介绍就不算完整。自贡常被形容为“灯城”。 五、原因状语　宾语　宾　同位 尽管如此,我还是非常开心,因为我觉得自己掌握了书法的门道,也就是说,我学会了正确的握笔姿势。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
