26、ks Juergen Voegele.答案 语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。自2011年以来,随着中国人的饮食结构的变化,在中国种植玉米的数量显著增加,而种植水稻的数量下降了。1.has grown句意:自2011年以来,中国种植玉米的数量超过了水稻。本题考查时态和主谓一致。根据句中时间状语Since 2011可知,此处使用现在完成时,且主语为单数,故填has grown。2.the句意:在过去的25年里,玉米的产量已经激增了将近125%,而水稻的产量只增长了7%。本题考查冠词。over the past 25 years在过去的25年里。3.actually句意:对于肉类的喜爱实际上是这一变化背后
27、的原因:中国的玉米有很重要的一个作用就是,用来饲养鸡、猪和牛。本题考查副词。此处需用副词作状语,故用actual的副词形式actually。4.to improve句意:玉米产量增长的另一个原因是:政府鼓励农民种植玉米而不是水稻来提高水质。本题考查非谓语动词作状语。此处“提高水质”为鼓励农民种玉米的目的,故使用动词不定式作目的状语。5.than句意:玉米用水量比水稻少,造成更少的化肥流失。本题考查介词。根据句中的less可知,此处表示比较,故使用介词than。6.pollution句意:这种变化已经减少了中国主要湖泊和水库的污染,使人们的饮用水变得更安全了。本题考查名词。空格处作decreas
28、ed的宾语,故使用pollute的名词形式pollution。7.global句意:根据世界银行的统计,中国占了全球化肥总消耗量的大约30%。本题考查形容词。空格处作fertilizer consumption的定语,故使用globe的形容词形式global。 8.started句意:中国农业部发现在2005年和2011年之间,化肥的使用减少了770万吨。2005年政府启动了土壤检测项目,它向农民推荐特定的化肥。本题考查时态。关系副词when=in 2005,由此可知此处使用一般过去时。9.that/which本题考查定语从句。定语从句的先行词为program,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,故使
29、用关系代词that或which。10.feeding本题考查非谓语动词作状语。名词China和动词feed构成逻辑上的主动关系,故使用现在分词作时间状语。.短文改错 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.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。Travelled abroad, you sh
30、ould follow the customs of the country where you are visiting. When you invited, it is good manners to refuse or accept an invitation, either by writing or by telephoning.

Also, it is suggested to write or telephone a day or two late to thank your host.答案1.第一句:TravelledTravelli
32、ng考查非谓语动词作状语。travel与其逻辑主语you之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词。故Travelled改成Travelling。2.第一句:wherewhich/that或去掉where考查定语从句。that/which you are visiting作定语,修饰the country,关系词在从句中作visit的宾语,所以用关系代词which/that或去掉where。3.第二句:you后加are考查语态。“你”和“邀请”之间是被动关系,用被动语态,所以在you之后加are。4.第二句:anthe考查定冠词。特指“这个邀请”,所以用定冠词the。5.第四句:handhands考查固定
33、短语。shake hands with sb.与某人握手,是固定短语,所以hand改成hands。6.第五句:possiblepossibly考查副词。possibly可能,此处作状语,所以possible改成possibly。7.第五句:andor考查连词。可能是一瓶葡萄酒、一盒巧克力或是一些花。表示“或者”,所以and改成or。8.第六句:wasis考查时态。表示一个客观的事实,用一般现在时,所以was改成is。9.第七句:beforeafter考查连词。其他客人走了之后,你还待到很晚是不礼貌的。表示“在之后”应用after。10.第八句:latelater表示“一两天之后”,用later
34、,所以late改成later。.书面表达假定你是李华,英国高中生Peter在中国研学时曾住在你家。Peter回国后给你寄来一本英文书,并附信感谢你家的热情招待以及对你家三世同堂表示很惊讶。请你写一封信,对赠书表示感谢,并解释他的疑虑。内容包括:1.感谢赠送书籍;2.解释中国人三世同堂现象。注意:1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。答案One possible version:Dear Peter,Im so delighted to receive your letter and know you are safe back.
