【10】While/Although/Though

【解析】 本文屬于自然景觀類文章。文中主要介紹了貴州省的一個(gè)著名的自然景觀—產(chǎn)蛋崖。

【1】a

考查冠詞的用法。產(chǎn)蛋崖，與后面的“奇妙的懸崖”是同位語(yǔ)的關(guān)系，a，在這兒可譯為一個(gè)，故用不定冠詞。

【2】which

考查非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，指代前面的先行詞--產(chǎn)蛋崖，“產(chǎn)蛋崖”在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)，指物，故用which。

【3】eventually

考查副詞。隨著大自然繼續(xù)蠶食懸崖，這些堅(jiān)硬的石頭更加裸露，最終脫落了。分析句意可知eventual在本句中作狀語(yǔ)，修飾句子，故要用副詞作狀語(yǔ)，故用eventually。

【4】is considered

考查時(shí)態(tài)及語(yǔ)態(tài)。這個(gè)現(xiàn)象現(xiàn)在被認(rèn)為是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的。分析句意可知是被動(dòng)，故要用is considered.

【5】explanation

考查名詞。分析句子可知explain前面有冠詞an，因此此處要用名詞，故要用explanation。

【6】to study

考查動(dòng)詞不定式。句意：地質(zhì)學(xué)家們希望作出解釋，不得不到偏遠(yuǎn)的山區(qū)去研究。分析句意可知study 在此作目的狀語(yǔ)，要用動(dòng)詞不定式，因此要用to study，

【7】them

考查人稱代詞。分析句子可知they在句子中作of 的賓語(yǔ)，作賓語(yǔ)要用賓格，故用them。

【8】has become

考查現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。句意：產(chǎn)蛋崖已成為非常受歡迎的旅游勝地。分析句意可知是現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)非常受歡迎，故要用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)has become.

【9】for

考查介詞的用法。分析句意可知是賣(mài)掉這種像蛋的石頭是為了獲利，for profit為了獲利，故用for。

【10】While/Although/Though

考查連詞。句意：盡管這個(gè)產(chǎn)蛋崖是最大的產(chǎn)蛋崖，但它肯定不是唯一的一個(gè)。分析句意可知前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用While/Although/Though。
