语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了高考成绩在中国名列前茅的留守女孩钟芳蓉选择了考古专业的故事。

1．答案　ignoring
解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，又因主语Zhong Fangrong和ignore之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填ignoring。
2．答案　virtually
解析　考查词性转换。副词virtually意为“几乎，差不多”，修饰动词chosen作状语。故填virtually。
3．答案　majors
解析　考查名词的单复数。短语one of...意为“……之一”，后接可数名词复数形式。故填majors。
4．答案　to
解析　考查固定搭配。固定短语reply to“给……的答复”，空格处缺少介词to。 故填to。
5．答案　who/that
解析　考查强调句。分析句子结构可知，这是一个强调句。此处强调人，可以用that也可以用who引导。故填who/that。
6．答案　herself
解析　考查固定短语。固定搭配devote oneself to意为“献身于……/致力于……”，结合句意，钟芳蓉对应的反身代词是herself，故填herself。
7．答案　made
解析　考查动词时态。分析句子可知，讲述过去的事情，用一般过去时。故填made。
8．答案　Described
解析　考查非谓语动词。describe与主句的主语Zhong是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用describe的过去分词形式作状语，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Described。
9．答案　was raised
解析　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语Zhong和raise之间是被动关系，该句应用被动语态。且由上下文可知，该句描述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时态，主语Zhong是单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填was raised。
10．答案　by
解析　考查介词。be surprised by为固定搭配，意为“对……感到惊讶”。故填by。
