(A) for weaving to develop independently
(B) the independent development of weaving
(C) weaving, to develop independently
(D) weaving developed independently
Key:D
分析:第一步即可解题。句子缺少谓语,只有D选项中含有谓语动词,故选D。
不必要的知识点:one of the most ancient arts是主语weaving的同位语。
参考译文:编织作为最古老的工艺之一,在世界各地独立发展。
9. _______ classified as a carnivore, the North American grizzly bear eats berries and even grass.
(A) Just as
(B) Because of
(C) Although
(D) Either
Key:C
分析:第一步,分析句子完整性。逗号之后是一个完整句,所以逗号之前一定是状语成分。第二步,比对选项。四个选项全都是连词,无从判断正确选项。那么,第三步,只能根据句意来判断。发现“carnivore食肉动物”与“berries and even grass吃素”之间,是转折的关系,故选表转折的连词although。
不必要知识点:考点是连词用法和省略结构。看选项部分,全都是连词,那么可以断定该连词是因果还是转折,还是顺接。就要看逗号前后两部分的意思了.逗号前carnivore食肉动物,逗号后,berries and even grass,可断定前后意思相反,所以选C
参考译文:虽然北美灰熊被归入食肉动物之列,但它吃浆果甚至是草。
10. Not only --- much bigger than any planet, but unlike the planets, it consists completely of gaseous material.
(A) the Sun is
(B) the Sun, which is
(C) is the Sun
(D) that the Sun
Key:C
分析:第一步首先分析句子完整性,缺少主谓,又看到前面是not only,很明显这里应该是倒装才对。
必要知识点:考点是倒装结构。Not only + 倒装, but (also)...故选C。
参考译文:太阳不仅比其他任何行星都大,而且不想别的行星,太阳完全由气态物质组成。
