95、,在非限制性定语从句中充当主语,指人,要用who,故答案为who。58to_succeed解析:考查固定搭配。有人说,聪明、意志坚强的长子(女)很可能成功。be likely to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“可能做某事”,所以本空填to succeed。59for解析:考查固定搭配。the reason for.为固定搭配,意为“的理由”。句意:这个观点的理由很简单。故答案为for。60the解析:考查定冠词。same常与定冠词the连用。the same reason意为“同样的理由”,故填the。61happens解析:考查谓语动词。本句中的动词happen在句中作谓语动词,主语是w
96、hat ,所以谓语动词要用单数。且文章整体时态为一般现在时,故填happens。62lost解析:考查固定搭配。 get/be lost in.,为固定搭配,意为“迷失,消失”,故填lost 。63differently解析:考查词性转换。副词一般修饰动词、形容词或副词。分析句子可知,此处应用副词differently作状语修饰动词saw,故答案为differently。64their解析:考查形容词性物主代词。主语是they,此处指的是在他们的生命中。句意为“在他们的生命中没有很多机会”,故答案为their。65orders解析:考查名词的数。分析句子可知,他们通常服从命令(orders)。
97、order在此是泛指,且是可数名词,因此本题用order的复数形式,故填orders。第四部分:写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节:应用文写作(满分15分)现在越来越多的女士加入了减肥大军,最近你们班就此事展开了讨论。60%的同学赞成,40%的同学反对。请你写一篇英语短文,短文应包括下表中的内容:注意:1.对所给要点,不要简单翻译,要有适当发挥;2词数80左右。参考词汇:毅力perseverance;看重take sth.seriouslyAs we know,more and more ladies are beginning to lose weight in different ways
