【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。虽然很多人的注意力都集中在包的外部——它的设计、品牌,以及不可避免的价格标签,但大多数人往往忽略了包包隐藏的丰富而复杂的内部。文章介绍了时尚女性包袋中物品的变化,表示无论包包看上去多么普通,它都能传达出主人的一些信息。所以你的包能传达的是你的地位,或你的信仰。1.【解析】toignore。考查非谓语动词。根据短语tendtodosth.表示“倾向于,往往会”。故填toignore。2.【解析】stepped。考查动词时态。根据后文inthe1740s可知此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填stepped。3.【解析】belongings。考查名词。根据上文herprivate可知应填名词belonging,且belonging为可数名词,前面没有冠词,表示“所有物”应用复数形式。故填belongings。4.【解析】what。考查连接词。此处为表语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指代物品应用what引导。故填what。5.【解析】attached。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知attach在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语purses构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填attached。6.【解析】remarkably。考查副词。修饰后文形容词unchanged应用副词remarkably,表示“明显地”。故填remarkably。7.【解析】a。考查冠词。note为可数名词,此处表示泛指应用不定冠词,且$5为辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。8.【解析】determined/shoulddetermine。考查虚拟语气。在It’s(high)timethat后的句子中要用虚拟语气,用一般过去时,也可用“should+动词原形”。故填determined/shoulddetermine。9.【解析】it。考查代词。句意:更令人惊讶的是,无论包包看上去多么普通,它都能传达出主人的一些信息。此处指代上文中的thebag,应用代词it。故填it。10.【解析】is。考查主谓一致。本句陈述客观事实用一般现在时,且主语为whatyourbagcanconvey,故谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填is。【点睛】当分词作状语的时候,如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系,就使用现在分词作状语;当二者构成被动关系,使用过去分词作状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前,就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系,可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。如第5小题,分析句子结构可知attach在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语purses构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填attached。Ⅳ.读后续写(2021·衢州模拟)阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。RescueinaBottle
