Ⅱ.语法填空
1.original 考查词性转换。句意:autumn很快流行起来,可能是因为它取代了原来的名字harvest。修饰名词name作定语需用形容词,故填original。
2.confused 考查形容词。形容词confused在此句中修饰人,意为“感到迷惑的”,故填confused。
3.itself 考查代词。句意:你可以想象,当庄稼从地里收割时,把这个季节叫做“收获”可能会让人们感到困惑,因为“收获”也是这个行为本身的名字。反身代词itself在此处作“the act”的同位语。
4.which 考查非限制性定语从句。定语从句的先行词autumn指物,定语从句中缺主语,故填关系代词which。
5.centuries 考查名词的数。空前的a couple of(几个)修饰可数名词复数,故填centuries。
6.to 考查介词。句意:这个英语短语有这个季节的真正含义,没有引起任何混乱。lead to是固定短语,意为“导致”。
7.going 考查谓语动词的时态。句意:大约在同一时期,随着英国的扩张,英语也在全球范围内传播,和许多语言一样,英语也经历了一些变化。根据语境可知,此句应该用过去进行时,故填going。
8.particularly 考查副词。 此处修饰形容词true需用副词particularly。particularly true意为“特别真实”。
9.or 考查让步状语从句。根据句意和结构可知,whether in terms of spelling or in terms of general usage意为“无论是在拼写方面,还是在一般用法方面”。whether...or...意为“无论……还是……”,引导让步状语从句。
10.was regarded 考查动词的时态和语态。根据上文中的时态,再结合autumn和regard构成被动关系可知,此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。autumn为第三人称单数,故填was regarded。
