1、一轮复习英语(广东专用)模拟试题26.语法填空Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76，1._one of Americas most famous artists did just that.Anna Mary Robertson，better known as “Grandma Moses”，turned to painting 2._she was too old to work on her farm.Grandma Moses was crazy about painting soon af
2、ter she picked it up and worked hard at it.She painted 3._(care) and her works were nice.She first painted only to please 4._，and then began to sell her works 5._a little money.In 1993，a collector，Louis Caldor，happened to see several of Grandma Moses works 6._(hang) in a shop.He liked them，7._(buy)
3、them at once，and set out to look for 8._.Caldor held 9._ show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.Grandma Moses，10._was worldfamous，died on December 13,1961，at the age of 101.【答案】1.but前后是转折关系。2because/when后面接的从句是她转行开始画画的原因。从句也可视作时间状语从句，可填when。3carefully修饰谓语动词painted，作状语，用副词。4her
4、self由后文“开始卖作品给别人”可知，她先前只是自己画给自己看，取悦于自己。5for表示交换用for，sell sth.for.意为“以多少钱卖某物”。6hanging是非谓语动词短语作定语，修饰名词works，因works与hang(悬挂)是主动关系，故用现在分词短语作定语。7bought与liked和set out并列，一起作谓语，时态也应一致。8more因他喜欢她的画，所以他开始寻找“更多” Grandma Moses 的作品。9a为了把Grandma Moses 的作品介绍给别的艺术家，所以他“举行了一次展览”。10who引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是Grandma Mose

10、 from days gone by.1A.importantBbusyCquick Duseful【解析】由with lots of meetings可知应是很繁忙的(busy)三天。【答案】B2A.pleasant BsatisfyingChappy Dextra【解析】第一句说作者在检票前30分钟到达机场，所以就有额外的(extra)时间来计划接下来需要做的事情。【答案】D3A.announcement BdeclarationCopening Dspeech【解析】分析句意可知，这时机场用广播发布“口头公告”，故用announcement表示。declaration“声明，宣言”；sp
11、eech“演讲”；opening“空缺，开端”，均不符合题意。【答案】A4A.waited BcancelledCtaken Ddelayed【解析】飞机出了问题，带来的应是航班“延误”或者被“取消”的结果，但从下文可知，飞机航班并没有被取消，所以选D项。delayed“延误”。【答案】D5A.flight BturnCname Dorder【解析】飞机没有来，“我”坐在那里应该是“等待航班”。flight“飞行，班机”；turn“转动，轮流”；name“名字”；order“命令，次序”。【答案】A6A.negotiation BlunchCparty Ddiscussion【解析】下一句中出
12、现了lunch照应前文。本句意为“那不是一个商务会议，而是我与一个业务上的朋友的一次愉快的午餐，而且我与这个朋友已经12年没见面了”。negotiation“协商，谈判”；discussion“讨论”；party“集会，聚会”，均不符合语境。【答案】B7A.spent BmetCmanaged Dshared【解析】we had.together为定语从句，修饰the good times and the great experiences。spend，meet，manage都不能与先行词times和experiences很好地搭配。而share表示“分享，共有”，可以与其构成完整的句意，即“
13、回忆起以前我们一起度过的快乐时光，我们都很开心”。【答案】D8A.thought BspiritCflight Dmind【解析】有这样额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想应是在大脑中，所以mind“头脑，精神”合适。thought“思考，思想”；spirit“精神，心灵”，这两个选项不符合题意；flight“班次”，作者还没坐飞机，显然错误。【答案】D9A.time BplansCreminders Dremains【解析】这里说的是作者的感受“我还认识到经常回顾生命中的快乐时光的重要性”。reminder“引起回忆的事物，提醒人的事物”；time“时间”；plan“计划”；rema
14、ins“残余，遗迹”。【答案】C10A.way BcutCmethod Dbreak【解析】从上下文可知，作者认为自己很幸运有这样一个机会来放松一下并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配，意思是“放松，休息”。way“路线，方式”；cut“切，削，削减”；method“方法”。【答案】D11A.stored away Bput onCset about Dgiven out【解析】这就有点像是在看储藏在家中柜子里的老相册一样。store away“贮藏，保存”；put on“穿上”；set aside“留出，撤销”；give out“分发，用尽”。【答案】A12A.cele
15、brations BmemoriesCawards Dpresents【解析】看着相册，展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的“回忆”。celebration“庆祝，庆典”；award“奖品”；memory“记忆，回忆”；present“礼物”。【答案】B13A.cupboard BbooksCchildhood Dphotos【解析】上文提到了photo album，显然文中说的应该是“照片”中的人物。呈现在你眼前的是许多精彩的回忆，它们带你回到过去的时光和场景，更重要的是，它们让你想起相片中的那些人。【答案】D14A.upset BhappyCcrazy Dsurprised【解析】通过整篇文章我们分
16、析作者此时的心情应是很愉快的。句意为“我微笑着登上了飞机，并且意识到我对于飞机的晚点并不心烦”。happy“高兴的”；crazy“疯狂的”；surprised“惊讶的”；upset“心烦意乱的”。结合句意可知upset合适。【答案】A15A.taking BseizingCreflecting Dbringing【解析】作者心情好的原因应是“有时间去回顾那些逝去的美好时光”。第二段和第三段都提到了reflect on这个短语，意思是“仔细考虑，沉思”。take on“呈现”；seize on“抓住”；bring on“促使，导致”。【答案】C.阅读理解AA year after graduat
