It has played in his country since th
17、e first settlers arrive. It was a national ball what was liked by many Americans at that time. Although baseball possibly developed from an English game, it is now thought of like an American sport.

18、he “ Field of Dreams”. Famous players, exciting music but the standard stadium food of hot dogs, popcorns and peanuts are popularly among Americans, In a fact, Americans make go to the baseball game a favorite summer outing for many Americans nowadays.参考答案:As is known to ,to 为介词,后应该用宾格,所以用us。It指base
19、ball与play之间是被动关系,所以应该为has been playedSince+时间状语从句,从句用一般过去时,主句用现在完成时。A national ball 后跟的为定语从句,从句缺主语,所以用关系代词that/which。Think of。 as 认为。是,固定短语根据此句中的their可知主语不是一个人,所以应该用复数。Famous players, exciting music but the standard stadium food of hot dogs, popcorns and peanuts这几样东西为并列关系,所以用and不用but。popcorns and pe
20、anuts are popularly among Americans此句为系表结构,标语要用形容词,而不用副词。In fact 为固定短语Americans make go to the baseball game a favorite summer outing for many Americans nowadays.此句中go做make 的宾语,所以用going。名师点睛:并列句中的并列连词、主从复合句中的从属连词用的是否得当。主谓一致问题固定短语搭配下面重点分析一下时态语态的用法。如此题中的第2,3个错误,通读整句可以判断出此句中的时态有问题,因为since引导时间状语时强调从过去某时
21、开始,所以用从句用过去时。主句用现在完成时,但我们判断完时态后还应该判断语态是否准确。仔细分析可知此处语态有误,应用被动语态,而不应该用主动语态。所以在做题时,首先判断时态是否准确,其次观察主语与谓语之间是否存在被动关系。三、 阅读理解21. 读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters backyard.
