Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹Samuel Langhorne Clemens以筆名Mark Twain出名，簡短地介紹了他的一生，即成長，工作和作品的風(fēng)格．

解答 46．known 考查固定搭配．be known as意為"以…著稱"，此處more commonly known as Mark Twain作定語．
47．the 考查冠詞．greatest是形容詞最高級，其前要加定冠詞the．
48．up 考查固定搭配．bring up意為"教育，養(yǎng)育（孩子）"，是固定搭配．
49．where/in which 考查定語從句．分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個(gè)定語從句，先行詞the print shops and newspaper offices表示地點(diǎn)，要用關(guān)系副詞where或in which．
50．to teach 考查動詞不定式． persuade sb．to do sth．意為"說服某人做某事"，用動詞不定式作賓語補(bǔ)足語．
51．unsuccessful 考查形容詞．a(chǎn)ttempt是名詞，其前要用形容詞修飾，根據(jù)句意：在金銀礦作一了次不成功的嘗試后，他成為了一家報(bào)社的職員．應(yīng)是"不成功的嘗試"．
52．were collected 考查動詞時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)．letters與collect之間是動賓關(guān)系，且時(shí)間狀語in 1869表示過去時(shí)間，要用一般過去時(shí)的被動語態(tài)，主語letters是復(fù)數(shù)，助動詞用were．
53 including 考查現(xiàn)在分詞．novels與include之間是動賓關(guān)系，要用現(xiàn)在分詞短語including his Mississippi River books作定語修飾novels．
54．As 考查連詞．前后兩個(gè)單句要用連詞連接，as在此處是"隨著"之間．
55．that 考查連詞．was后接表語從句，因從句意思是完整的，用連接詞that．

點(diǎn)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(gè)單詞．要做好語法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實(shí)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(bǔ)充．考生須靈活運(yùn)用語法知識，如單詞詞性、單詞時(shí)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．
