Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹中國茶的歷史及茶在不同國家的發(fā)音．

解答 61．largest 考查形容詞最高級．形容詞最高級前加定冠詞the．
62．with 考查固定搭配．a(chǎn)long with意為"與…在一起"，是固定搭配．
63．has been 考查動詞時態(tài)．根據(jù)句中時間狀語since then，要用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)．
64．producing 考查現(xiàn)在分詞．countries與produce之間是主謂關(guān)系，用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語．
65．a(chǎn) 考查冠詞．此處drink意為"飲料"，是可數(shù)名詞，其前加不定冠詞a表示泛指．
66．which 考查定語從句．分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個定語從句，先行詞是cha'i，在從句中作主語，用關(guān)系代詞which．
67．its 考查代詞．counterpart是名詞，其前用形容詞性物主代詞作定語． 
68．exactly 考查副詞．write是動詞，用副詞修飾，形容詞exact的副詞是exactly．
69．pronounced 考查過去分詞． it與pronounce之間是動賓關(guān)系，用過去分詞作狀語．
70．drinkers 考查名詞．根據(jù)句意：現(xiàn)在，在世界上茶客數(shù)量還在不斷增加．．drinker意為"飲者"．

點評 在一篇200詞左右的語篇（短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白，部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式，要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式，所填寫詞語不得多于3個單詞．要做好語法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實的詞匯、句型和語法知識是基礎(chǔ)，英語國家的背景知識是必要的補充．考生須靈活運用語法知識，如單詞詞性、單詞時態(tài)、名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應(yīng)填寫的內(nèi)容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．
