21、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。3known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 re

22、cently 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

23、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：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。 短文改错(2018石家庄高中毕业班第一次模拟)The Dragon Boat Festival has a history of o
