人教版高中英语必修三Unit1FestivalsandCelebrations重点知识归纳单选题1、The flowers _________ sweet attract the visitors to the beauty of nature, which _________ in the botanic garden last year.A．to smell; grewB．smell; were grownC．smelling; were grownD．smelt; were growing答案：C考查非谓语动词和动词时态语态。
句意：这些花闻起来很香，吸引了游客去欣赏大自然的美景，这些花是去年在植物园里种植的。
第一空，分析可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，排除B项；smell“闻起来”是系动词，没有被动语态，不用过去分词smelt表达被动含义，排除D项；动词不定式 to smell 表将来，不符合句意，排除A项；所以应用现在分词短语 smelling sweet 作为 flowers 的定语；第二空，动词grow“种植”和主语之间是被动关系，根据时间状语last year,应使用一般过去时的被动语态 were grown。
故选C项。
2、________ the fog, we should have reached our school.A．Because ofB．In spite ofC．In case ofD．But for答案：D考查介词短语辨析。
句意：要不是大雾，我们本应该到了学校。
A.Because of由于，因为；B.In spite of 尽管；C.In case of以防，万一；D.But for 要不是，but for通常用于含蓄条件句中，相当于if条件句的用法，主句中使用虚拟语气。
根据后句“we should have reached our school（我们本应该到了学校）”可知，要不是大雾，我们本应该到了学校。
