【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了粥这种营养早餐。
1. 考查形容词。句意:一些人认为粥不好吃。此处缺少形容词作表语,形容词 tasty ,美味的,符合题意。故填 tasty 。
2. 考查形容词。句意:它是一个方便又健康的开启新一天的方式。修饰名词 way ,用形容词作定语。故填 healthy 。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国,粥是早餐的一种食物。分析可知此处使用非谓语作后置定语修饰名词 food , food 与 serve 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词表被动。故填 served 。
4. 考查形容词比较级。句意:它柔软而粘稠 —— 比液体更稠,但不是固体。空后的 than 表明,此处用形容词比较级形式。故填 thicker 。
5. 考查定语从句。句意:粥很容易消化,所以对生病的人很有好处。此处为限定性定语从句,关系词指代先行词 people ,并在从句中作主语,应用关系代词 who 或 that 引导。故填 who/that 。
6. 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:粥的准备 —— 原料的数量和烹饪时间 —— 取决于你选择什么作为你的粥基。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语为 Porridge preparation ,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填 depends 。
7. 考查时态语态。句意:煮上之后,最有趣的部分就是加味儿。陈述客观情况, it 与 cook 之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填 is cooked 。
8. 考查冠词。句意:粥本身并没有很浓的味道。表示 “ 具体的味道 ” 时, flavor 是可数名词,此处用不定冠词表泛指,且 strong 的发音以辅音音素开头。故填 a 。
9. 考查表语从句。句意:虽然有些人认为这让粥变得无聊,但我认为这是粥令人兴奋的原因。此处为表语从句,从句中缺少主语,应用 what 引导,表示 “…… 的东西 ” ,故填 what 。
10. 考查名词。句意:种子、坚果和干果是一个很好的选择,可以提供给你一天的能量。分析句子并结合句意可知,此处缺少名词作表语,空前的 a 表明,用可数名词单数。故填 choice 。
