试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是盐的历史,人们从什么时候开始使用盐这个事我们并不知道,但是我们知道在整个历史上盐已经被用多种方法来使用了。

1.考查连词及语境的理解。句意:关于人们从什么时候开始使用盐这个事我们并不知道。when 什么时候;where 在哪里;what 什么;which哪一个。根据句意可知,这里是说不知道人们从什么时候开始使用盐。故选A。

2.考查介词及语境的理解。句意:但是我们知道贯穿整个历史,盐已经被用多种方法来使用了。throughout 贯穿,遍及;thought做名词是想法的意思;另外它还可以是think 的过去式,认为,思考的意思;though连词,尽管,虽然;although 与though 同义。throughout the history 是一个固定搭配,贯穿整个历史,在这里表示历史悠久。故选A。

3.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:例如,在很多历史书中记载:三千多年前的人们就开始吃咸鱼了。A. say说,强调说的内容;   B. reported  报道;C. recorded   记载,记录;D. reading阅读。这里是一个句型it is recorded that 据记载…,这里是根据一些历史书籍中的记载,并且下文Books also record that 也暗示了我们答案。故选C。

4.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:例如,在很多历史书中记载:三千多年前的人们就开始吃咸鱼了四个选项中都是动词eat 的形式,意思是:吃。A. eat 是动词的原形;B .ate      是eat 的过去式;C. eating是一个现在分词的形式;D. have eaten是现在完成时的形式。根据句中three thousand years ago 可知,这句话说的是三千多年前的事情,应该用一般过去时态。故选B。

5.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:几千年前在埃及,盐被用来保存死人。A. used to   过去常常,后面跟动词的原形;B. was used to被用来做…,后面跟动词原形;C. was used        被使用,是一个被动语态;D. used使用,是use 的过去式。根据句意可知,这里应该表示盐被用来做…,故选B。

6.考查介词及语境的理解。句意:它可以使死尸不腐烂。A. off    离开;B. from从…;C. on        在…上面,或在具体某一天;D. out出去。这句话中keep …from…是一个固定句型,阻止…做某事。这里的意思是不让死尸腐烂。故介词应该是from。

7.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:在18世纪,偷盐的人被认为是犯法的。A. think     认为,思考;B. consider考虑,认为;C. thoughtful有思想的,是一个形容词;D. thought是think 的过去分词。根据句意可知,这里表示的是一个被动语态,即偷盐被认为是犯法的。故选D。

8.考查名词及语境的理解。句意:在18世纪,偷盐的人被认为是犯法的A. law法律;B. glass玻璃;C. computer电脑;D. time时间。break the law 是固定短语,触犯法律。故选A。其他选项的意思与文意无关。

9.考查名词及语境的理解。句意:如果一个人被抓住偷了盐,那么他会被送进监狱。A. pool     池塘;B. hill小山; C. prison   监狱;D. river河,河流。根据上文可知,在18世纪时偷盐是犯法的,所以如果被抓住偷盐了,应该是被送进监狱的。下句话中put into prison也可以告诉我们答案。故选C。

10.考查连词及语境的理解。句意:书中记载在那个世纪的英国有大约1万人因为偷盐被送进了监狱。A. because因为,是一个连词,后面引导原因状语从句;        B. because of    因为,后跟名词或动词的ing形式;C. by       通过…方式;D. as做介词,是作为的意思。根据句意可知,这里是说因为偷盐而进监狱,表示的是原因,并且空后跟的是一个动词ing形式的短语。故选B。

11.考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:在1553年,如果一个人拿的盐比他应该分到的更多的话,他就被认为是触犯了法律,会受到严厉的惩罚。A. more 更多的,是比较级形式;B. less       更少的,也是一个比较级,原级是little;C. fewer更少的,是few的比较级;         D. most最多的,是一个最高级形式。根据句意和空后的than可知,这里应该用比较级形式,且应该是拿的盐比应分的更多会受到惩罚。故选A。

12.考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:在1553年,如果一个人拿的盐比他应该分到的更多的话,他就被认为是触犯了法律,会受到严厉的惩罚。A. serious形容词,严肃的,严厉的;B. bad         形容词,糟糕的;C. terrible形容词,可怕的,糟糕的;D seriously副词,严厉的。这里应该用副词形式来修饰动词punished。故选D。

13.考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:在国王的餐桌上,盐是非常重要的。A. important 重要的; B. necessary         必要的;C. clever聪明的; D. cheerful欢呼的。根据这一段的内容可知,盐在国王的餐桌上是非常重要的,它离国王最近。尊贵的客人离它近一些,不重要的客人离它更远。所以这里是告诉我们盐在那个时候是多么的重要。故选A。

14.考查介词及语境的理解。句意:盐总是被放在国王的面前。A. in the front of在…前部;        B behind在…后面;         C. in front of         在…前面;D. before在…之前,表示时间。根据上一句话和这一段的内容可知,盐在那时是很重要的,所以它应该被放在国王的面前。故选C。

15.考查连词及语境的理解。句意:重要的客人坐在盐的旁边,而不重要的客人则坐在远离它的位置上。A. when当…时候;B. as当…时候;      C. however 然而,是一个副词,后面应有逗号隔开;D. while在这里是然而的意思,表示对比。根据句意可知选D。

考点:历史类短文。
