1.where 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词the West,同时在从句中作地点状语。
2.are placed 考查动词的时态和语态。句子讲述的是客观情况,要用一般现在时;主语the dishes与动词place之间是被动关系,所以要用被动语态。
3.to show 考查非谓语动词。主人用公筷夹菜给客人,这是为了表示对客人的礼貌。空处作目的状语,应用动词不定式。
4.left 考查非谓语动词。此处为with复合结构,空处作宾语the food的补足语,并且the food与leave之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以要用过去分词形式。
5.to 考查介词。be polite/impolite to sb.是固定短语,意思是“对某人礼貌/不礼貌”。
6.the 考查冠词。“fan”在汉字里表示“翻过来”的意思。此处表示特指,故要用定冠词the。
7.fishermen 考查名词复数。fisherman为可数名词,且其前无限定词修饰,故空处应用名词的复数形式。
8.separation 考查名词。空处前面有定冠词The修饰,再结合空后的of可知,空处应填名词。
9.extremely 考查副词。空处修饰后面的形容词useful,作状语,要用副词。 10.eastern 考查形容词。空处作定语,修饰后面的名词country,表示“东方的”,所以要用eastern。
