61、修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子;形容词通常作定语、表语修饰名词、代词。句中使用副词修饰谓语动词read the newspaper,所以要填usually。42interesting考查形容词。句中应该使用形容词修饰代词it。43decision考查名词。形容词性物主代词her的后面要接名词作动词make的宾语,所以要填动词decide的名词形式decision。44By考查介词。介词by意为“到为止”。45begun考查时态。句意:当我们到达剧院的时候,第一幕已经开始了。介词by意为“到为止”,引导时间状语从句时,主句通常使用完成时,所以要填过去分词begun。46who考查定语从句。本题
62、定语从句的先行词是friends,关系代词who指代先行词,引导定语从句并在句中作主语。所以要填who。47staying考查固定搭配。be used to sth./doing sth.意为“习惯于某事/做某事”。48extremely句中使用副词修饰形容词tired,所以要填副词extremely。49an考查不定冠词。不定冠词an修饰单数可数名词evening,evening开头是元音音素,表示泛指。所以要填an。50to enjoy考查不定式。句中不定式to enjoy it作定语修饰名词the energy。【解题策略】本文45题给出了提示词,而且提示词是动词。给出动词时,我们首先判
63、断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。然后按照以下两点进行思考:若句中没有别的谓语动词,或者虽然已有谓语动词,但需填的动词与之是并列关系时,所给动词就是谓语动词;若是谓语动词,就要考虑时态和语态。第四部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉修改:在错的词下画一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1.每处错误及其
