体裁:说明文 题材:农业科技 主题:用海水种植水稻
【语篇解读】 中国的研究人员在迪拜已成功种植并收获了一种用海水种植的水稻。
1.答案与解析:successfully 考查副词。修饰动词用副词,根据空后的“grown and harvested”可知,此处应用副词successfully。
2.答案与解析:allows 考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,此处叙述一般的情况,故应用一般现在时;空前的“which”引导的是定语从句,which在从句中作主语,指代先行词a strain,为第三人称单数,故填allows。
3.答案与解析:led 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,动词lead和其逻辑主语A team of scientists之间为动宾关系,故此处应用过去分词短语作后置定语。
4.答案与解析:global 考查形容词。根据空前的“the”和空后的“average”可知,此处应用形容词global作名词average的定语。
5.答案与解析:planned 考查动词的时态。根据本句中的“later last year”可知,此处应用一般过去时,表示发生在过去的动作。
6.答案与解析:agreement 考查词形转换。根据语境以及空前的“an”可知,此处应用agree的名词形式agreement。
7.答案与解析:where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词countries,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以此处应用where来引导该从句。
8.答案与解析:to develop 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,过去四十年,中国一直致力于开发抗盐的水稻,此处表示目的,故填to develop。
9.答案与解析:it 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用it作形式主语,how引导的从句作真正的主语。
10.答案与解析:for 考查介词。根据语境可知,此处表示稀释海水是为了大规模种植水稻,故用介词for“为了”。
