94、les意为“方式”,为可数名词复数,前面应用形容词修饰,vary意为“不同,相异”,动词词性,对应的形容词为various,意为“各种各样的”,作定语修饰styles。故填various。【38题详解】考查定语从句。句意:第二,其他喜剧演员依赖于视觉幽默,这种幽默可能是受到物体的启发。根据句意和句子结构可知,空格所在句为非限制性定语从句,先行词为visual humor,为物,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。【39题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:第三,其他喜剧演员可能会绊倒在椅子上,撞到门上,或者摔倒在舞台上,以博得观众的欢笑。句中涉及固定短语“get sb.
95、to do sth.”,意为“使某人做某事”,句中people与laugh之间为逻辑上的主动关系,即人发出笑的动作,故用动词不定式作宾语补足语,to后接动词原形。故填to laugh。【40题详解】考查冠词。句意:Billy Crystal是最著名的单口喜剧演员之一。句中涉及固定短语“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”,意为“最之一”,空格后most famous为形容词最高级,前面应用定冠词the修饰。故填the。【41题详解】考查表语从句。句意:Crystal之所以如此出名,一个原因是他思维敏捷,而且经常能想出关于周围人和事的新笑话。根据句意和句子结构可知,句子为表语从句,空格
96、处单词引导从句,作is的表语,从句不缺成份且意义完整,故应用that引导从句。故填that。【42题详解】考查固定短语。句意:Crystal之所以如此出名,一个原因是他思维敏捷,而且经常能想出关于周围人和事的新笑话。句中涉及固定短语“come up with”,意为“想出,提出(计划、想法等)”,后接new jokes,意为“想出新的笑话”。故填with。【43题详解】考查名词。句意:Crystal在所有年龄群体中都很受欢迎,并且有能力逗笑全世界的人。句中group意为“群,组”,为可数名词,根据句意及空格前all可知,这里指所有年龄群体,故应用group的复数形式groups。故填group
97、s。【44题详解】考查时态。句意:到目前为止,医生甚至已经发现它有助于保持健康和对抗疼痛。根据句意和句中so far(到目前为止)可知,句子应用现在完成时,表示到目前为止,医生们“已经”发现了,句式为“主语+has/have+动词过去分词+其他”,句子主语为Doctors,与have连用,discover的过去分词为discovered。故填have discovered。【45题详解】考查连词。句意:到目前为止,医生甚至已经发现它有助于保持健康和对抗疼痛。句中“stay healthy(保持健康)”和“fight pains(对抗疼痛)”之间为并列关系,都是单口喜剧带来的帮助,故应用连词an
98、d连接两个并列短语。故填and。第四部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)46. 假如你是李华,是一名高三的学生。你和你的好朋友Kate商定好本周末去博物馆,但现在有事去不了了,请给她写一封电子邮件告知相关情况。内容包括:1对取消活动安排表示歉意;2解释无法去博物馆的原因;3另约时间去博物馆注意:1词数80左右;2可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。_【答案】参考范文Dear Kate,We agreed last week that we would visit the museum this weekend.I am sorry to inform you that the arr
