21、西方国家的发展历程。1. which/that 解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，补充完整是： classical dance form has only recen tly burst onto the world sce ne,所以该定语从句的先行词是“ classical dance form ”，指物，且从句中缺主语。故用5which/that 。2.an 解析：考查冠词。结合句意可知，此处指中国古典舞是一种要求极高、精致且传神的舞种。空格处表示一种”，是泛指，且空格后的“ in credibly ”的读音以元音音素开头。故用 an。3.known 解析：考查非

22、谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句有谓语动词is ”，所以 此处应用非谓语动词；因为动词know 与它修饰的名词“ systems”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语，表示被动。故用known。4.Un til解析：考查连词。根据语境可知，此处指直到最近，很少有外国人听说过中国的古典舞。un til 意为“到.为止”，通常与完成时态搭配，un til recen tly意为“直到最近”，符合语境。故用Un til。注意首字母大写。5.what 解析：考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，“they had just seen”是“sure” 之后的宾语从句，且从句中缺少宾语。故用what。6.

23、was established解析：考查动词的时态和语态。动词 establish 与“the Shen YunPerforming Arts Company ”之间是被动关系；又因为本文都使用了一般过去时，因此空格处应用一般过去时的被动语态。故用was established。7.traditional解析：考查词性转换。结合句意可知，此处指它的宗旨是推广传统文 化。此处应用形容词来修饰名词“ culture ”。故用 traditional。8 . presenting解析：考查非谓语动词。include 后要接动名词作宾语。故用prese nti ng。9.better 解析：考查副词的

24、比较级。根据语境可知，不到十年的时间，中国的古典舞已经被人们更好地认可并且影响到西方的芭蕾舞了。此处much 修饰副词 well 的比较级。故用 better。10.stories解析：考查名词复数。 story 是可数名词，其前没有冠词修饰，故应用其复数形式。故用 stories。W短文改错（2018 石家庄高中毕业班第一次模拟）The Dragon Boat Festival has a history ofover 2, 000 years.
