Question

【題目】Of the three major drinks of the world—tea, coffee and cocoa—tea is consumed by the

【1】(large) number of people.

China is the homeland of tea. Human cultivation of tea plants dates back to two thousand years ago. Tea from China, along【2】her silk and porcelain, began to be known to the world more than a thousand years ago and since then it 【3】(be) an important Chinese export.

At present more than forty countries in the world grow tea with Asian countries，【4】(produce) 90% of the world’s total output. All tea trees in other countries have their origin directly or indirectly in China. The word for tea leaves or tea as 【5】drink in many countries are derivatives(衍生物) from the Chinese character “cha”. The Russians call it “cha’i”, 【6】sounds like “chaye”(tea leaves) as it is pronounced in northern China, and the English word “tea” sounds similar to the pronunciation of【7】(it) counterpart（對應(yīng)物） in Xiamen. The Japanese character for tea is written 【8】(exact) the same as it is in Chinese, though 【9】(pronounce) with a slight difference. The habit of tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century, but it was not introduced to Europe and America till the 17th and 18th centuries. Now the number of tea【10】(drink) in the world is still on the increase.

【2】with

【3】has been

【4】producing

【5】a

【6】which

【7】its

【8】exactly

【9】pronounced

【解析】本文主要講了中國的茶。茶最早產(chǎn)生于中國，而一些國家對單詞茶的發(fā)音也是與中國某個地區(qū)的發(fā)音相似，目前世界上喝茶的人越來越多。

【1】largest 考查最高級。由of the three major drinks可知，該句是三者之間比較，所以需用最高級，故填largest。

【2】with 考查固定搭配。along with和……一起，可并列連接兩個名詞，故填with。

【3】has been 考查現(xiàn)在完成時。由since then連接的句子需用現(xiàn)在完成時。

【4】producing 考查非謂語動詞。該句的主語是countries，與produce之間是主謂關(guān)系，所以該空省略主語時需用現(xiàn)在分詞來作非謂語。

【5】a 考查冠詞。這里指的是茶作為一種飲料，所以需用冠詞a，表示泛指。

【6】which 考查非限制性定語從句。該句的先行詞是cha’i，后句中缺少主語，所以這里用which在從句中作主語，故填which。

【7】its 考查形容詞性物主代詞。it意為“它”，在句中作主語、賓語等，但不能修飾名詞，需用形容詞性物主代詞its，來修飾名詞。

【8】exactly 考查副詞。該空需用副詞修飾動詞write。

【9】pronounced 考查短語。be pronounced with被用……發(fā)音。所以這里需填pronounced。

【10】drinkers 考查名詞。這里指的是“喝茶的人”，且這里名詞需用復(fù)數(shù)，故填drinkers。
