49、 previous 80 percent. 【文章大意】本文属于说明文。主要介绍了我国新能源汽车的生产和销售情况以及国家为了环保而对购买新能源汽车的政策保护。1. 【解析】 steadily。考查词性转换(形容词转化为副词)。根据句意, 应用副词修饰动词词组go up, 意为: 稳步增长。2. 【解析】were sold。考查时态语态。本句前部分谈到: 10月份, 新能源汽车产量是9. 2万辆, 同比增长85. 9%, 使用的是一般过去时的被动语态, 本空内容在谈新能源汽车的同比销售情况, 因此也应使用同样的时态语态, 意为: 新能源汽车在10月份的销量是9. 1万辆, 同比增长106. 7%

50、。3. 【解析】were。考查主谓一致。本句的主语是“a total of 2. 6 million auto vehicles”, 其谓语动词的数应与 a total of 后面的名词的数(vehicles)保持一致, 又因谈的是去年的事情, 故填were。4. 【解析】production。考查词性转换(动词转化为名词)。本空处于句子主语的位置上, 因此这里应考虑动词produce的名词形式production作主语, 表示“生产量”, 句意: 但按逐月算, 10月份的汽车销售量下降0. 2%, 而生产量下降2. 5%。本题容易误填product或producing。Product是“产物

51、, 产品”, 而本句要表达的是“生产量”, producing可以作主语, 但它表示的是“生产”这个动作, 也不能表达“生产量”。5. 【解析】 first。考查序数词。本空后面有ten months of the year, 这里的one不可能在基数词上去做文章, 应考虑它的序数词first, the first ten months of the year表示“本年的前十个月”。6. 【解析】 to。考查介词。increase by表示“按多少增长”。该短语在本句中已出现。但本句后面还有具体数字22. 96 million and 22. 93 million, 因此要考虑increase

52、 to短语, 表示“增长到”。句意: 正在本年前十个月, 汽车生产量和销售量分别同比增加了4. 3%和4. 1%, 同比分别增加到2, 296 万辆和2, 293万辆。7. 【解析】which。考查非限制性定语从句引导词。这里用which指代前面“中国政府采取各种措施鼓励使用新能源汽车”这件事。【误区警示】本题容易误填it, the aim of it可以在句中作主语, 但前面句子和本句这两个并列句之间没有连词, 不符合英语句法要求。8. 【解析】discounts。考查名词单复数。discount表示“(价格、债款等的)折扣”是可数名词。在本句中表示“提供价格优惠”。9. 【解析】order

53、ing。 考查非谓语动词。本句前面有by doing结构, 本空前面有and连接, 所以这里的“(order) government organizations to buy more NEVs”也应是by后面的宾语, 故填ordering。【误区警示】本空容易误填order, 认为是祈使句, 这主要是因为考生没有将句子前部分by doing的结构与本空在语法结构上联系起来考虑。10. 【解析】to borrow。考查非谓语动词。本句有allow sb. to do结构, 表示“允许新能源汽车购置者提高贷款比例”。【知识拓展】佳词积累1. doubleadj. & n. & v. 双重的; 两

54、倍; 变成两倍2. remainvi. 保留; 维持3. a total of总数为4. make every effort to do尽力做(某事)5. encouragevt. 鼓励6. purchase vt. 购买长难句分析China has made every effort to encourage the use of NEVs, the aim of which is to deal with pressure on the environment by offering tax exemptions (免税) and discounts for the car purchases, and ordering government organizations to buy more NEVs. 分析: 本句含有一个to的不定式短语作目的状语; 含有一个which引导的定语从句; 含有由by引出的两个动名词短语作by的宾语, 而且这两个动名词短语隔得较远, by引出的介词短语在句中作方式状语。翻译: 我国政府为应对环境压力, 采取种种措施, 鼓励新能源汽车的使用, 包括提供购车免税和价格优惠, 以及强烈要求政府机构购买更多新能源汽车。
