Question

16．Near the town of Montignac in Southern France，visitors can find some of the most beautiful cave paintings in the world-the Lascaux Cave Paintings（拉斯科洞窟壁畫）．
    The history of these paintings is very interesting．Most caves are formed（61）bynature under the ground，but some have entrances people can find．That's just what happened one day in 1940．Four boys were taking（62）awalk in the woods near Montignac．As they walked along，one of them noticed an unusual rock．（63）Whenthey got closer，they found it wasn't a rock but an opening in the ground．This opening led to a cave，so they decided to have a look around it．The walls of the cave were（64）covered（cover）with ancient art．The boys didn't know it，but the cave was the find of the century!
    Over the years，many historians and artists came to study the art．They wanted to understand who painted the pictures and（65）whatthey might mean．They soon realized some of the art indicated animals that were on Earth a long time ago．Many of the pictures also showed people（66）following（follow）animals and trying to kill them for food．In the end，historians agreed that this was likely to be the art of a civilization that existed over 15，000 years ago．
    By 1950，over a thousand people from all over the world were visiting the cave every day．But by 1955，the paintings were beginning to become difficult（67）to see（see）．Many people were passing through the cave，so the paintings were losing their color．（68）Sadly（sad），people can no longer visit the cave．However，another set of cave paintings has been created．These paintings look exactly the same（69）asthe Lascaux Cave Paintings．People （70）made（make）the paintings so that everyone can still learn about this great ancient civilization．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述法國南部蒙提涅克鎮(zhèn)，游客可以看到的一些世界上最美麗的洞穴繪畫--拉斯科洞窟壁畫的有趣的歷史．文章講述了壁畫是如何被四個男孩偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)的，許多歷史學(xué)家和藝術(shù)家來學(xué)習(xí)壁畫的藝術(shù)，他們想了解誰畫的畫以及壁畫的意義，因為參觀的人數(shù)很多，所以畫失去了他們的顏色，到1955年這些畫開始很難見到了．人們創(chuàng)建了另一套和拉斯科洞窟壁畫幾乎一樣的洞穴壁畫，讓每個人都能了解這個偉大的古老文明．

解答 61．by 考查介詞的用法． 分析句意可知，該句的意思是：大多數(shù)洞穴是在地下自然形成的；此處是被動語態(tài)，需要介詞by引出動作的發(fā)出者；故填by．
62．a(chǎn)  考查固定短語的用法．  固定短語take a walk 意為：散步；故填a．
63．When  考查連詞的用法． 本句的意思應(yīng)是：當(dāng)他們靠近些時，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)那不是一塊石頭，而是一個留在地面上的開口；故填When意為"當(dāng)…的時候"． 
64．covered  考查固定短語的用法． 固定短語be covered with 被…覆蓋著；本句的意思是：洞穴的墻上布滿了古代的繪畫；故填covered．
65．what  考查疑問代詞的用法． 本句是賓語從句，and之前的意思是：誰畫的圖畫，之后應(yīng)為：畫了些什么；故填疑問代詞what．
66．following 考查現(xiàn)在分詞的用法． 分析句意可知，這里展現(xiàn)的應(yīng)是人們在追逐動物并試圖要殺了他們作食物的畫面；動詞follow與其邏輯主語people構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系，表示當(dāng)時正在進行的動作，應(yīng)用動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，故填following．
67．to see  考查動詞不定式的用法．動詞不定式與句子的主語構(gòu)成邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，所以用動詞不定式的主動形式表被動，故填to see．
68．Sadly 考查副詞的用法．根據(jù)句子可知，此處是副詞修飾后面的整個句子，故填Sadly．
69．a(chǎn)s 考查固定搭配的用法．the same as是固定搭配，意為"和…一樣"，故填as．
70．mdae 考查一般過去時態(tài)的用法．根據(jù)前面的"another set of cave paintings has been created．"另一套洞穴壁畫已被創(chuàng)建，可知人們制作壁畫是在過去，是一個過去的動作，所以用一般過去時態(tài)，故填made．

點評 語法填空是通過語篇在語境中考查語法知識的運用能力，在解題前應(yīng)快速瀏覽短文掌握大意，在讀懂短文的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合短文提供的特定的語言環(huán)境去逐句分析，逐題解答．
