二、语法填空
阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Look at this video(视频) online. A teenager from another country $\underline{16}$(cook) the real Chinese food at home and teaching others.
His name is Max Burns. He is $\underline{17}$19-year-old English man. He is very popular on the Internet because of his videos of making Chinese food. $\underline{18}$took Max's parents many years to work in China. Max spent his first 13 years being immersed(沉浸于) in Chinese culture-learning the language and loving the food. When his family $\underline{19}$(move) to Brighton, UK in 2016, Max missed Chinese food very much. He started $\underline{20}$(order) takeaway food from local Chinese restaurants at first. But the meals didn't taste the same as they were in China. They were also very expensive. Then Max decided to try to make Chinese $\underline{21}$(dish) at home. Max found that many of his friends didn't know much $\underline{22}$the real Chinese food. He wanted to do something. Then he made videos of making Chinese food and $\underline{23}$(put) them online. He can even make jianbing-a traditional Chinese street food, and zongzi-a traditional Chinese rice dish. The videos helped $\underline{24}$(he) win millions of fans all over the world. "When people ask me where I'm from, I find it hard to answer $\underline{25}$I grew up in China and now I'm living in the UK," he says. "I'm just trying to share Chinese and British culture with Chinese and English people, and build a cultural bridge between them."

【分析】
做语法填空时，需先通读短文理解大意，再结合语境、语法规则、固定搭配等逐一分析每个空：16空根据句首提示判断时态；17空考查冠词用法；18空涉及固定句型；19空由时间状语确定时态；20空是start的固定用法；21空考查名词复数；22空是固定搭配；23空由并列谓语的时态确定；24空考查代词宾格；25空根据前后逻辑关系选连词。
【解析】
16. is cooking：由句首“Look at this video online”可知，此处描述正在进行的动作，用现在进行时，主语为单数，故填is cooking。
17. a：此处表示“一个19岁的英国人”，“19-year-old”以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。
18. It：考查固定句型“It takes sb + 时间 + to do sth”，意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”，故填It。
19. moved：时间状语“in 2016”表示过去，用一般过去时，move的过去式为moved。
20. to order/ordering：start后可接不定式或动名词作宾语，即start to do/doing sth，两种形式均正确，故填to order或ordering。
21. dishes：dish是可数名词，此处指“中国菜”，用复数形式dishes。
22. about：固定搭配know about意为“了解”，符合语境，故填about。
23. put：此处与前面的made是并列谓语，时态需一致，用一般过去时，put的过去式仍为put。
24. him：help是动词，后接人称代词宾格，he的宾格为him。
25. because：前后句为因果关系，后句说明原因，故填连词because。
【答案】
16. is cooking 17. a 18. It 19. moved 20. to order/ordering 21. dishes 22. about 23. put 24. him 25. because
