Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述Uber公司準(zhǔn)備在未來開發(fā)一種會飛的小汽車，以避開城市中擁堵的交通．但比直升機要安靜，操作費用少且污染也要少．

解答 61．reality 考查名詞．a(chǎn)后接名詞，形容詞real的名詞是reality．
62．a(chǎn)n 考查冠詞．expert是可數(shù)名詞，且讀音是以發(fā)元音開頭的，用不定冠詞an表示泛指．
63．to help 考查動詞不定式．a(chǎn)sk sb．to do sth．意為"讓/叫/要某人做某事"．
64．in 考查介詞．in the future意為"今后，將來"，是固定搭配．
65．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electric aircraft在從句中作主語，用關(guān)系代詞which．
66．quieter/more quiet 考查形容詞比較級．根據(jù)句中than可知，要用形容詞比較級．
67．wrote 考查動詞時態(tài)．此處write動作已發(fā)生，要用一般過去時態(tài)．
68．But 考查連詞．前后兩個單句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，用連詞but．
69．hiring 考查動名詞．a(chǎn)bout是介詞，后接動詞時用動名詞形式．
70．themselves 考查代詞．根據(jù)句意：這種汽車的早期模型不能自己飛．用反身代詞themselves．

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．
