解析试题分析:本文讲述了盐在古代的用途,以及在古代如果偷盐会受到怎样的惩罚,并且在古代通过盐也能看出尊卑来。
【小题1】根据题干,本句的意思“我们不知道人类什么时候开始用盐”,“什么时候”是when。所以本题选A。
【小题2】throughout是“贯穿”,though和although是“尽管”,thought是“思想”,根据题意,本句的意思是“但是我们知道在整个历史中盐有许多不同的用途。”所以本题选A。
【小题3】根据题干,此处应该是“据记载”的意思,而“据记载”是It’s recorded。所以本题选C。
【小题4】根据three thousands years ago可知,本句应是过去时,故用ate。所以本题选B。
【小题5】根据题干,本句的意思是“盐被用来保存尸体。”“被用来做某事”是be used to do。所以本题选B。
【小题6】keep……from是“阻止某人或某物做某事”,是固定用法。所以本题选B。
【小题7】根据前面的was可知,后面应该用过去分词表示被动语态,只有thought。所以本题选D。
【小题8】通过阅读下文可知,此处应该是违反法律。故用law。所以本题选A。
【小题9】根据if a person was caught stealing salt可知,对待罪犯的方式是将他投入监狱。故用prison。所以本题选C。
【小题10】根据题干,本句的意思是“一万多人因为偷盐被投入监狱。”“因为”是because或because of;根据stealing salt可知,应该用because of。所以本题选B。
【小题11】根据题干,应该是带更多的盐会被惩罚。故用more。所以本题选A。
【小题12】根据题干,本句的意思是“将被严重惩罚”,本空是修饰“惩罚”一词,故用副词。所以本题选D。
【小题13】本句的意思是“过去盐在国王的餐桌上是很重要的。”故用important。所以本题选A。
【小题14】根据题干,“它总是被放在国王的前面”。In the front of是在物体本身上的前部,in front of是“在物体前面”不附属在物体上,而before一般表示时间之前。故用in front of。所以本题选C。
【小题15】根据前句important visitors sat near the salt和后句less important visitors可知,两者之间是转折的关系,故用while“而,却”。所以本题选D。
考点:本题考查说明文。
点评:阅读本文时,首先应该明白盐的重要性,才会理解为什么在古代对盐会有这样的规定。在完成本题是,应充分阅读文章,充分体会作者的意图。要结合生活中的常识,进行选词,并且应该注意区分一些词的用法和英语中的固定搭配等。
