23、you anxious to visit the city?【解题导语】 本文是说明文，介绍了古都洛阳。洛阳拥有悠久的、激动人心的历史和诸多名胜古迹。对游客来说，洛阳是一个值得一游的城市。1when 解析：考查状语从句。when it comes to.为固定结构，意为“当提到时” 。2attractive 解析：考查形容词。空处在句中作定语修饰 cities，故用形容词attractive“吸引人的” 。3as 解析：考查介词。as 在句中意为“作为” 。stand out as“作为而出类拔萃” 。4the 解析：考查冠词。此处用定冠词，特指中国文化和历史的发源地。5is 解析：考查时态及

36、ast week呼应，事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时。第三处：删除 of。his arms and fingers hurt 是个句子，故 of多余。第四处：had 前加 he。考查代词。that 引导一个同位语从句，而非定语从句，在从句中不作句子成分，对 fact的内容进行补充说明，由此可知，从句中缺少了主语，且由上文的 him可知，应用人称代词的主格形式 he。第五处：forto。考查介词。固定搭配 send sth.to sb.意为“给某人送某物” ，符合语境，故用介词 to。第六处：examexams。考查名词复数。exam 是可数名词，且被 all修饰，故用复数形式。第七处：manymuch。time 在此处用作不可数名词，故用 much修饰。第八处：useusing。考查动名词。固定搭配 stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事” ，符合语境，故用动名词作宾语。第九处：whichwho。考查定语从句。先行词 Yang Ling，指人，故用 who引导非限制性定9语从句，在从句中作主语。第十处：especialespecially。考查副词。应用副词 especially修饰介词短语 at school。
