【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了 “一带一路”沿线国家的接力赛跑让人们了解“一带一路”倡议的发展情况。
1 . 考查名词。句意:他跑了 32 公里以示庆祝。作介词 in 的宾语用名词,故填 celebration 。
2 . 考查不定式。句意:在乌干达渣打银行工作的坎布古是世界各地逾 8.6 万名员工中的一员,他们试图参加 “一带一路”沿线国家的接力活动,以了解“一带一路”倡议的发展情况。 attempt to do 表示 “试图去做”,故填 to take 。
3 . 考查非限定性定语从句。句意:坎布古和渣打银行全球办公室的另外 7 名同事参观了 “一带一路”沿线的 44 个目的地,这帮助他们更好地理解这一倡议。此处为非限定性定语从句,关系词指代整个主句内容并在从句中作主语,故填 which 。
4 . 考查时态。句意:坎布古见证了 “一带一路”倡议迄今如何让东非人民的生活变得更好。此处强调过去的动作对现在的影响,根据so far可知应该用现在完成时,故填 has witnessed 。
5 . 考查定冠词。句意同上, change…for the better 表示 “让……变得更好”,故填 the 。
6 . 考查主语从句。句意:香港办事处的梁淑芬说,她一路上所看到的景象给她留下了深刻的印象。此处为主语从句,从句中的 seen 缺少宾语,故填 what 。
7 . 考查代词。句意同上,作动词 impressed 的宾语用宾格形式,故填 her 。
8 . 考查副词比较级。句意:他们的普通话说得比有些香港人还流利。 “ than ”表明此处用副词比较级形式,故填 more fluently 。
9 . 考查非谓语动词。句意:在她看来,参与 “一带一路”倡议的国家就像赛跑者一样。 countries 与 participate 之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动,用现在分词作后置定语,故填 participating 。
10 . 考查名词复数。句意同上, runner 是可数名词,此处用复数表示泛指,故填 runners 。
