5、】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中国古典舞在西方国家的发展历程。1which/that 解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，补充完整是：classical dance form has only recently burst onto the world scene, 所以该定语从句的先行词是“classical dance form” ，指物，且从句中缺主语。故用 which/that。2an 解析：考查冠词。结合句意可知，此处指中国古典舞是一种要求极高、精致且传神的舞种。空格处表示“一种” ，是泛指，且空格后的“incredibly”的读音以元音音素开头。故用 an
6、。23known 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句有谓语动词“is” ，所以此处应用非谓语动词；因为动词 know与它修饰的名词“systems”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语，表示被动。故用 known。4Until 解析：考查连词。根据语境可知，此处指直到最近，很少有外国人听说过中国的古典舞。until 意为“到为止” ，通常与完成时态搭配，until recently 意为“直到最近” ，符合语境。故用 Until。注意首字母大写。5what 解析：考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知， “they had just seen”是“sure”之后的宾语从句，且从句中缺少
7、宾语。故用 what。6was established 解析：考查动词的时态和语态。动词 establish与“the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company”之间是被动关系；又因为本文都使用了一般过去时，因此空格处应用一般过去时的被动语态。故用 was established。7traditional 解析：考查词性转换。结合句意可知，此处指它的宗旨是推广传统文化。此处应用形容词来修饰名词“culture” 。故用 traditional。8presenting 解析：考查非谓语动词。include 后要接动名词作宾语。故用presenting。9better 解析
8、：考查副词的比较级。根据语境可知，不到十年的时间，中国的古典舞已经被人们更好地认可并且影响到西方的芭蕾舞了。此处 much修饰副词 well的比较级。故用 better。10stories 解析：考查名词复数。story 是可数名词，其前没有冠词修饰，故应用其复数形式。故用 stories。desire n渴望；欲望；渴求 vt.希望得到；想要(1)have a strong desireError!a desire thatclause(should)动词原形渴望(2)desire to do sth.渴望做某事desire sb.to do sth.希望某人做某事desire thatcl
