52、7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。创造力是天生的才华，还是后天也可以获得？本文就这一话题展开了讨论。1to feel 考查非谓语动词。我们感觉似乎某些人天生具有创造力。seem to do sth.“似乎要做某事”。2it 考查代词。创造力是天生的才华，还是后天也可以习得的？这里用it指代creativity。3be acquired 考查被动语态。先行词something和acquire之间是被动关系，又因为情态动词can后要用动词原形，故此空填be acquired。4carefully 考查词性转换。也许如果我们仔细分析创造的过程，我们就会洞察到什么是创造力，
53、它是如何在我们的生活中起作用的。这里用副词修饰动词analyze。5how 考查特殊疑问词。此处表述创造力是如何在我们生活中起作用的。由语义可知填how。6imagining 考查with的复合结构。每次重大的科学发现都以某个人以不同于其他人的方式看待这个世界开始。此处为“with宾语宾语补足语”结构，宾语和宾补之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故此空填imagining。7what 考查名词性从句的连接词。创造力就是用一种新的方式想象世界。空格处引导表语从句并在从句中作介词about的宾语，故填连接代词what。8an 考查冠词。我们都有这种潜能，用一种全新的方式想象这个世界。absolutely的发
54、音以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an，表泛指。9with 考查介词。事实上，你天生具有创造力。be born with “生而具有”。10that 考查强调句。正是创造性思维使得你从混乱的经历中找到意义，给你的世界带来秩序。由强调句基本结构“It is/was被强调部分that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)其他部分”可确定答案。.短文改错Dear Jack，Im sorry to hear that you failed in the last final math exam, but which worries me most is that you are in low spirit wh

All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dress
82、ing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs
83、 and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life._2_ Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural
84、diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country._3_ Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new rea
85、lity. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols.
86、 _4_ In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nations official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. _5_ ABoth are correct depending on ones point of view.BThey never lose the

88、ure.GThe other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.篇章导读：本文为说明文。文章主要说明了美国社会被称为色拉碗以及大熔炉的原因。1B根据上文中的“all the ingredients”和最后一句中的“can all be seen for what they are”可知在色拉碗里，各种色拉的成分混合在一起，但它们还都保持各自的形状、颜色及口味，所以答案是B。2C根据本段第三句中的“is referred to as cultural diversity”及下文的
89、解释可知，这就是为什么在美国有如此多样性的原因，每一个族群都有自己的语言及风俗习惯等，所以答案是C。3G由本段中的第五句可知下文主要讲述了美国社会被称为大熔炉的原因，所以G项起到统领和引出下文的作用。故选G。4F根据上下文可知，来自世界不同地方的人来美国定居，他们创造出一种新的美国文化，且F项中的“a new American culture”与下一句中的“In such a culture”相衔接和照应。故选F。5D根据上句中的“a mixture of both”可知，美国是色拉碗还是大熔炉，美国最好可以被称为两者的混合物。也就是说，美国是一个具有多样性统一的国家，所以答案是D。.语法填空

94、句中作结果状语。2quickly考查词性转换。云雾在高山上翻腾起伏，长城时隐时现。此处为“as形容词/副词as .”结构，在本句中应用副词修饰动词。3on/along考查介词。“我”继续行走，沿途看见一个接一个的烽火台。on/along ones way “沿途”。4relief考查词性转换。“to ones表示情感的名词”是固定用法，意为“令某人的是”。relieve的名词是relief，意为“轻松，解脱，宽慰”。5to climb考查非谓语动词。当名词前有the only, the best, the first, the last等修饰语时，其后常跟动词不定式作后置定语。6what考查宾
95、语从句的连接词。“我”似乎步行了数英里。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中引导宾语从句，在从句中作主语，且意为“的事情(东西)”，故填what。7endless考查词性转换。根据句意及句子结构可知，此处应用形容词作表语，故填endless “无止境的，无垠的”。8a考查冠词。staircase作“楼梯”讲时是可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故应用不定冠词a表示泛指。9was called考查动词时态和语态。it(指代a long staircase)与call之间存在被动关系，故用被动语态。再结合本文的基本时态为一般过去时可知，此处也应用一般过去时。10had考查虚拟语气。如果“我”再有机会去中国旅行
96、的话，“我”一定会毫不犹豫去参观长城的。根据语境可知，此处表示对与将来事实相反的情况的假设，故应填had。.书面表达假如你是新华中学的高三学生李华，你的美国朋友John最近在网上看到中国谚语“He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man”，他想了解相关信息。请你根据以下内容给他写一封信。要点：1.谚语的含义；2.介绍长城；3.邀请他来中国游览长城。注意：1.词数100左右；2.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。参考词汇：春秋战国时期the Spring and Autumn and Warring States perio
