语法填空
16. a.考查冠词。此处泛指单数可数名词,所以应用不定冠词来修饰。
17. but.考查连词。根据句意“虽然刚开始我只是在那儿工作,后来我很快开始了烘焙”,前后两部分是转折关系,因此应填but.
18. if.考查连词。宾语从句用if或whether连接,表示“是否”的意思。
19. pleased.考查词类转换。此处应用形容词pleased 形容作者的心情。
20. that.考查同位语从句。本句为that引导的同位语从句,解释notice的内容。
21. sellers.考查词类转换。本句意为“一家杂货店在当地寻找经销商”。
22. who.考查定语从句。who在定语从句中做主语,指人。
23. had been accepted.考查动词的时态语语态。此处根据主句的时态及句意可知应为过去完成时,另外,主语与动词accept之间为被动关系。
24. on.考查介词。make decisions on sth 意为“做决定”。
25. to ship.考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式作后置定语,意为“即将要运输的那些货物”。
