問題詳情：

Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of England's greatest 133． ( writer )，yet his language is old-fashioned and his story plots often improbable. How then to explain Dickens's enduring (持久的) 134． (popular)?

His stories, though often overlong by today's standard，are well written moral (道德的)tales. They are filled with 135． (color) characters.

But what makes his books stand out from other English writers is his insight 136． human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behaviour that 137．  (be) as true to citizens of the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.

Readers 138． ( return ) to Dickens’s books again and again over the years 139． ( see ) what he has to say about readers’ own time. No surprise then that 140． was Dickens that Britons turned to, during the economic crisis last year, to make sense of a world 141． (rapid) falling apart.

The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama 142．introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. It’s a dark story about greed and money which is the perfect story to explain the bad times.

As long as Dickens’s novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain’s best loved writers.

【分析】

本文是一篇説明文，介紹了狄更斯的作品為什麼現在還受歡迎。

133．考查名詞複數。"one of +形容詞的最高級+名詞複數"結構表示"最……之一"，為固定用法。故填writers。

134．考查名詞。空處作動詞explain的賓語，且空前有形容詞修飾，故用名詞形式。故填popularity。

135．考查形容詞。空處作定語修飾characters,故用形容詞colorful表示"有趣的"。故填colorful。

136．考查介詞。insight當"（尤指對複雜情況、看法的）頓悟，猛醒"講時,後常與into搭配。故填into。

137．考查主謂一致。分析句子結構可知，that引導定語從句，在從句中作主語，從句謂語動詞與先行詞truths保持時態，人稱和數一致；根據上文的tells可知，用一般現在時，故填are。

138．考查時態。根據時間狀語over the years可知，本句應用現在完成時。故填have returned。

139．考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，空處作目的狀語，指人們一遍遍看狄更斯作品的目的，故用動詞不定式。故填to see。

140．考查強調句型。分析句子結構可知，去掉強調結構後，Britons turned to Dickens是完整的句子，故此句是強調句型，故填it。

141．考查副詞。分析句子結構可知，空處修飾falling apart,故用副詞作狀語，故填rapidly。

142．考查定語從句。"10 introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time"為定語從句，修飾 drama,空處是關係詞且在從句中作主語,故用關係代詞that/which。故填which/that。

【點睛】

語法填空考查動詞時，做謂語動詞應考慮時態，語態，主謂一致及是否應用謂語動詞形式。如果動詞作非謂語，則需考慮動詞作主語，賓語，應由不定式或動名詞擔任；如果動詞作狀語或定語，需考慮被動關係，再確定是現在分詞還是過去分詞。例如小題6，分析句子可知，return是謂語動詞，根據時間狀語over the years可知，本句應用現在完成時。故填have returned。小題7，see是非謂語動詞，做目的狀語用不定式形式，故填to see。
