Question

【題目】The Koran

Most religions have some kind of holy text on which the religious beliefs are based. For Christians this text is the Holy Bible; for Jews it is the Torah and for Muslims it is the Koran.

Muslims believe that the Koran 【1】(consist) of revelations from God to Muhammad during the years 610 to 632 when Muhammad died. These revelations were written down by those 【2】 were close to him during this time and for several years after his death. They were gathered into the text 【3】(know) as the Koran during the years 630 to 650.

The interpretation of the Koran has always been a difficult task, even for Islamic scholars. For example, the meanings of some words are determined by dots above the vowels(元音). In ancient Arabic, however, very often these dots 【4】(omit). As a result some letters looked identical. Thus, the meanings of these words depended in many cases 【5】 the memories of the men who had written them. Early Muslims had to try to get the exact meanings of the words 【6】 these people died and it was too late.

Unlike the Bible, in which the events are provided in time order, there is no reference to 【7】 things occurred in the Koran. In any case, unlike the Bible, most the suras - sections - are composed of orders and warnings. Unlike in the Bible, there are very few stories in the Koran.

Muslims believe that by 【8】(recite) the book, they create a holy atmosphere, and there are many Muslims who have learned the Koran by heart.

【解析】

【1】分析句意，可知這句話是描述一般的情況，故時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，動詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，填consists;

【2】分析句意和句子的結(jié)構(gòu)，可知這是一個定語從句。those指代人，作為先行詞，并且在從句中做主語，所以用關(guān)系代詞who。

【3】分析句意，可知此題中的text和know是被動關(guān)系，而其know要在此句中作為非謂語動詞，所以用known。

【4】分析句意和句子的結(jié)構(gòu)，可知此處的意思是 “被省略/漏掉…”，根據(jù)本句所在的語境，可知要用一般過去時。故用were omitted。

【5】分析句子，可知本題考查動詞搭配的介詞，depend on/upon，此短語的意思是：依靠，依賴，取決于。

【6】分析句子的結(jié)構(gòu)，可知此處要填一個連詞引導(dǎo)一個時間狀語從句。根據(jù)上下文的意思，可知要填before，意思是“在…之前”;

【7】分析句子的結(jié)構(gòu)，可知此處要填一個連詞引導(dǎo)一個賓語從句，根據(jù)該句句意可知要填when，表示“…的時候”。

【8】由于空格前是介詞by，故其后要用動名詞。
