知識(shí)點(diǎn)01 because, since, as 引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句 教材P70-71

------Why aren’t you going there?
------Because I don’t want to.
As he has no car, he can’t get there easily.

【答案】breathe
【解析】
句意:房間里充滿了煙,呼吸越來(lái)越困難。提示詞 breath是名詞,意為“呼吸”,It is+形容詞+to do sth.表示“做某事是……”,固定句型,所以此處使用breath的動(dòng)詞形式breathe。故填breathe。

【解析】
the Chinese government“中國(guó)政府”;create“創(chuàng)造”,動(dòng)詞,由“the Chinese…h(huán)as…”可知,本句為現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài),故此處應(yīng)用其過(guò)去分詞形式。故填government;created。
4.既然汽車壞了,就什么都做不了了。
_____the car broke down, nothing_____________.
【答案】Since could be done
【解析】
根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)可知,空一是“既然,since”引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句,首字母s大寫;空二的動(dòng)詞“做,do”和主語(yǔ)“nothing”之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)應(yīng)用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),其構(gòu)成形式為can be done;結(jié)合從句一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)可知,主句也應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),can的過(guò)去式could;do的過(guò)去分詞是done。故填Since;could be done。
5.由于虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)科技,人們不必親臨其境即可游覽國(guó)內(nèi)外名勝。
____________of VR technology, people can ____________ places of interest both at home and abroad instead of going there in person.
【答案】Because visit
【解析】
根據(jù)中英文對(duì)照可知,這里缺的是“由于”和“游覽”,英語(yǔ)中“由于”也就是“因?yàn)椤?,所以可以說(shuō)成是because,“游覽”也就是“參觀”,英語(yǔ)是visit,且空格前有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can,所以這里應(yīng)該用動(dòng)詞原形,故答案為Because,visit。

Wushu is becoming more and more popular among Palestinian(巴勒斯坦) girls in the West Bank.
Sport Plus Academy is one of those sports clubs that teach girls wushu. “Until now, there have been more than 100 girls who have joined our team, and the number of trainees has been doubled in the past few months,” says Bissan Jarrar, the first woman coach of wushu from Ramallah city. Four years ago, Jarrar became interested in mastering wushu. Later, the young woman managed to win local and international prizes and finally became a coach for wushu. According to the 24-year-old coach, it is new that the Palestinian girls would like to be part of2 this special sport. The young woman explained that for many years, only men in Palestine practiced wushu, but now the situation is different.
Batoul Abdul Wahhab, one of Jarrar’s trainees, tells us that she has joined the wushu team because it is a new sport for the Palestinian girls. She wants to take part in international competitions. The 14-year-old girl says, “It has helped me change my character and become stronger.” In her opinion, wushu has succeeded in putting women and men on the same level, as it depends on minds rather than muscles(肌肉) only.
“There are more than 300 girls of different ages who are practicing wushu in the Palestinian West bank,” says Tarik Khalifa, chief of the Palestinian Federation(聯(lián)盟) of Wushu Kung Fu Sports. According to him, any girl can join this sport and can be trained to become professional player and join in Arab and international competitions.

Last month, the artist Christo opened his new art sculpture. It is made up of 7,506 colorful barrels (桶) floating on a lake in Hyde Park in London. Christo calls it The London Mastaba. It is his first major outdoor art sculpture in Great Britain. The artwork is in the shape of a mastaba. It looks somewhat like a pyramid with a fat top. The London Mastaba is about 65 feet high, 98 feet wide and 130 feet long, and it weighs about 1.3 million pounds. The metal barrels can be seen from hundreds of feet away.

Everyone who looks at it will see something different. Many will think the barrels are barrels of oil in the heart of one of London’s oldest parks. They might wonder if Christo was making an announcement against pollution. Others will see a prism or giant pixels or simply a shape. However, everyone must decide for themselves, the 83-year-old artist said. Christo said he had nothing special in mind when he created The London Mastaba. “There are no messages,” Christo said. “There is something in it to discover yourself. I cannot direct you.”
“A Stairway To The Sky”
“It’s created a giant invitation, like a stairway to the sky,” Christo said. The artist was standing on the banks of the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park where his artwork floats. Swans are swimming nearby. Some barrels are red with a white candy stripe on the sides. Others are colored blue, purple and red. Their colors will look different as the light changes, Christo said. Their reflection (倒影) in the lake will be like an abstract painting. Abstraction is an artistic style that does not always show something recognizable or realistic.
“Not Really Sure How I Feel About It”
Many people walking in the park were surprised to see the artwork. “It’s very modern, but this place is nature and historical. I don’t like it here,” said Yasmin KocOzcengel, who is a tourist from Turkey. Another person who took a look at the artwork was Anna Andronova. She called The London Mastaba very brave. If it weren’t as brave, it wouldn’t be as amazing, she said. Sheila Seffenson is an American living in London. “I’m just not really sure how I feel about it,” Steffenson said. “Maybe it’s a message about pollution. Who knows?”
