Ⅱ.语法填空
It’s almost a common belief that the best food you can find in a place is not in the fancy restaurants, __1__ in the backstreets.These spots are usually away from popular tourist attractions, which means that to find them you’ll need the spirit of an __2__ (explore)．
That’s how I came across roujiamo when I was exploring Beijing.I found __3__ restaurant that sold dishes from Xi’an when I explored the area around __4__ (I) office one day.I decided to try it out.
My roujiamo __5__ (make) fresh, so the bread was still warm.It was soft when
I bit into it, and the meat inside was delicious and tender.In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I ordered more to take home with me.Though it’s just a snack, it’s still quite filling and can __6__ (easy) satisfy your appetite.
There are a __7__ (various) of things you can put inside the “mo”， as the bread is called.For example, in certain areas in Xi’an, the meat __8__ (use) is usually beef, but in Gansu Province, mutton is more common.And the first roujiamo that I tried was made __9__ pork.However it’s made, it’s still a tasty snack.And for an American like me who grew up __10__ (eat) hamburgers, it’s a perfect combination of East and West.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了经常出现在街头巷尾的美食——肉夹馍。
1．but 考查连词。句意：普遍认为你能在一个地方找到的最好的食物不是在豪华餐厅里面而是在街头巷尾。not ...but ...意为“不是……而是……”，故本空应填连词but。
2．explorer 考查名词。由空格前的不定冠词an可知，空格处应填名词形式。此处表示探索者，故填explorer。
3．a 考查冠词。句意：一天，我探访我办公室周围的区域时，我发现一个卖西安食物的餐馆。restaurant为可数名词，在文中第一次提及时应用不定冠词修饰，又因restaurant 的读音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
4．my 考查代词。修饰名词office应用形容词性物主代词my。
5．was made 考查动词的时态和语态。本句中主语My roujiamo和动词make之间为被动关系，故应用被动语态；根据上下文可知此事发生在过去，故本空应使用一般过去时的被动语态，应填was made。
6．easily 考查副词。修饰动词satisfy应用副词，故填easily。
7．variety 考查固定用法。a variety of意为“各种各样的”。
8．used 考查非谓语动词。动词use与修饰的名词meat之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用use的过去分词形式作定语，故填used。
9．with 考查介词。句意：我尝的第一个肉夹馍是用猪肉做的。with表示“用”，故应用介词with。
10．eating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，在who引导的定语从句中，关系代词who指代先行词an American，在从句中作主语，因为动词eat和主语之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用现在分词作伴随状语。
