2018年高考英语二轮复习 第二部分 知识运用篇 专(2)

❺解析：考查副词的比较级。sixteen years earlier意为“早在16年前”。

❻解析：考查非谓语动词之动词不定式。莉娜当时摘掉钻戒的目的是做饭，故用动词不定式表目的。

❼解析：考查时态。该句中but后的turned up使用了过去式，search是与之并列的谓语动词，故也应使用过去式。

❽解析：考查get done结构。get swept“被扫掉”。

❾解析：考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，空格处所在的句子是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词the garden，且从句缺少地点状语，故用where引导该定语从句。

10解析：考查冠词。a wonder一个奇迹。
