26、:今天早上我在屋里有一些活要做。job工作,为可数名词。(3)work 【解题思路】 句意:整天照看孩子是份辛苦的工作。work工作,活 。(4)profession 【解题思路】 句意:我的丈夫是医疗行业中的佼佼者。profession行业,职业。【妙辨异同】occupation,job,work和profession这四个名词都有工作之意。occupation较为正式,经常用在填写表格上。job是可数名词,可指一个单独任务,也可指工作职位。work是不可数名词,泛指一切工作。profession一般指需要专门技能,尤指需要较高教育水平的某一行业、职业,如医生或律师。2. (1)accuse
27、d 【解题思路】 句意:他被指控抢劫银行,被判处10年有期徒刑。根据空后的of可知,accuse控告,指责,符合句意。(2)charged 【解题思路】 句意:嫌疑犯被指控谋杀他的妻子。根据空后的with可知,charge控告,指责,符合句意。(3)blame 【解题思路】 句意:你不应该因为自己的错误而责备他人。blame责怪,指责,把归咎于,符合句意。【妙辨异同】accuse为普通用词,在正式或非正式场合、私人或法律上均可使用,被指控的情节可轻可重,常与of连用。charge常与accuse换用,但charge多指较严重的错误或罪行,而且往往指向法庭提出正式起诉,常与with连用。blam
28、e常用于blame sb. for(doing)sth. 或blame sth. on sb. 结构中。3. (1)so as to/in order to 【解题思路】 句意:Anne提高她的嗓音以便被(别人)听到。so as to/in order to后接动词短语。(2)In order to 【解题思路】 句意:为了接受这个工作,你必须辞去另一份工作。so as to/in order to后接动词短语,但是so as to不能位于句首。(3)in order that/so that 【解题思路】 句意:为了可以及时参加开幕式,他们乘飞机去那儿。in order that和so th
29、at后接从句。(4)so that 【解题思路】 句意:他整天玩电脑游戏,结果没有通过考试。根据句意可知,空处引导结果状语从句,故填so that。(5)for the purpose of 【解题思路】 句意:为了服务自己的人民,他回到了祖国。根据空后的serving可知,for the purpose of为的目的,为的是,符合句意。【妙辨异同】 表示目的时,in order to位置较为灵活,so as to不可以置于句首;so that, in order that均可以引导目的状语从句,但是sothat也可以引导结果状语从句。二、单句语法填空1. for 【解题思路】 考查句式。句意
30、:你没有必要为这件事担心。句式there is no need for sb. to do sth. 某人没有必要做某事。2. It 【解题思路】 考查代词。句意:她是否喜欢老板视情况而定。It all depends视情况而定。3. of 【解题思路】 考查固定用法。句意:那三个犯有偷窃罪的人已经被送进了监狱。guilty of. . . 意为犯了罪,为固定用法,所以本空填of。4. deliberately 【解题思路】 考查副词。句意:你是故意那样做的还是偶然的?根据句意可知,此处需用副词修饰动词act。5. journal 【解题思路】 考查词形转换。句意:我从1974年的新年开始记日
31、记。根据句意可知,应用journal日记。6. unusual 【解题思路】 考查词形转换。句意:最近我忙于我的工作,所以清晨两三点回家对我来说并不罕见。根据句意和空前的not可知,这里应填unusual。7. are updated 【解题思路】 考查时态和语态。句意:通过改善电脑的设计,这些机器在不断地更新。此处用一般现在时表示经常发生的动作,并且These machines与update之间是被动关系,故此处应用一般现在时的被动语态。8. having broken 【解题思路】 考查动词deny的用法。句意:因害怕被开除,他否认故意打破教室的玻璃。动词deny之后接动词-ing形式,且
32、break这一动作已经完成,故用动词-ing形式的完成式。三、语法填空【解题导语】 这是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了著名的非洲裔美国医生Charles Richard Drew对人类的贡献,他建立的血库在二战中挽救了许多人的性命。1. is called 【解题思路】 考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知,此处表示客观事实,且表示被称为,故用一般现在时的被动语态。2. in 【解题思路】 考查介词。这里表示在某方面,故用介词in。3. where 【解题思路】 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,并在从句中作地点状语,故填where。4. was researching 【解题思路】 考
33、查动词的时态。根据句中的then可知,此处表示在过去的某个时间正在做某事,故用过去进行时。5. interested 【解题思路】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作表语,且主语为人,故用interested。6. it 【解题思路】 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,此处要用it作形式主语,指代后面的动词不定式短语。7. immediately 【解题思路】 考查词形转换。空处在句中作状语,故此处要用副词形式。8. a 【解题思路】 考查冠词。这里表示泛指,且technique的发音以辅音音素开头,故用a。9. discovery 【解题思路】 考查词形转换。根据空前的Drews和空后
34、的谓语动词saved可知,此处要用名词形式。10. waiting 【解题思路】 考查非谓语动词。此处为省略,可还原为while they were waiting for. . . ,因从句的主语与主句的主语相同,且从句中含有be动词,故可将从句中的主语和be动词省略。四、完形填空【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者自己当报童的时候送报的经历和现代发布信息方式的变化等。【重点词语链接】1. bundle n. 捆,包,束My uncle sent me a large bundle on my birthday. 我生日时叔叔给我寄来一个大包裹。2. distribute v. 分
35、发,散布,分配Clothes and blankets have been distributed among the refugees. 衣服和毯子已被分发给了难民们。1. D 【解题思路】 结合前文的When I was 12和后面的Sunday morning papers were too 5 for me to carry可知,作者应该是一个瘦弱的女孩。2. A 【解题思路】 此处指老板看到作者是一个瘦弱的女孩,因此给了她一周的时间,让她来证明她可以从事这个工作。3. B 【解题思路】 结合空格前面的So after school和后面的over to the hut down th
36、e street, pick up my bundles可知,作者放学之后,就直奔大街上的报亭去取报,然后去送报。4. C 【解题思路】 根据后面的ride my route可知,此处指作者把报纸放到了自行车后架子上面。5. A 【解题思路】 结合前面的Sunday morning papers were和后面的for me to carry可知,此处表示这些报纸对于十二岁的作者来说太沉重了。6. D 【解题思路】 此处与第一段中提到的I talked my way into a job delivering呼应,指作者去送报。7. B 【解题思路】 结合空格前面的So, my mother
37、volunteered to get up at 5:30 am and drive me around可知,作者的母亲每天早上五点半就起床帮助作者,因此这里表示作者的母亲投身于作者的工作中。8. C 【解题思路】 根据第一段第一句话中的the first papergirl in Seattle可知,这里表示作者作为一个送报的女童。9. A 【解题思路】 根据后面的If they wanted them on their porch,or mailbox or inside the gate可知,此处表示把报纸扔到草坪上。14空后的the lawn也是提示。10. D 【解题思路】 前面提到
38、的on their porch, or mailbox or inside the gate都是地点,因此这些都是他们拿到报纸的地方。11. B 【解题思路】 结合空格前面的the papers和后面的flag thieves可知,要确保不把报纸堆积到那里,以免招贼。12. C 【解题思路】 in return作为回报,再结合选项可知,应选C项。tip小费,符合语境。13. A 【解题思路】 根据下文的We put our orders,our vacation holds,our moves into online forms that then tell a service that 14
39、 a guy in a truck可知,此处表示现在在某些地方报童的任务已经被现代化的服务取代了。14. D 【解题思路】 此处表示服务点派一个人去把报纸扔到草坪上。15. B 【解题思路】 结合空格前面的The people that run and own newspapers和后面的to deliver news to us in a large number of forms可知,人们有机会以多种方式向我们传递信息。16. C 【解题思路】 结合语境可知此处是表示为了我们想要的(传递信息的)形式而付款。17. D 【解题思路】 此处与前面的form呼应,in. . . form ,指
40、以形式。18. A 【解题思路】 结合后面的pay to have a papergirl or boy deliver the 19 on the right day in the right way可知,作者愿意当报童们在正确的时间,以正确的方式投递报纸的时候,高兴地付给他们小费。19. B 【解题思路】 参见上题解析。20. D 【解题思路】 结合上文的Lets bring back the paperboy和后面的employment for our children可知,作者认为报童送报还是一份有意义的工作。五、阅读理解【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Chan因过瘦而受到校方耶
41、鲁大学的退学威胁,在增重失败后,Chan想办法让校方承认其做法错了。【长难句解读】 She learned that her new doctor acknowledged BMI was not the only measure of a healthy weight and admitted the college had made a mistake in how they handled her thin frame.分析:这是复合句。that her new doctor. . . her thin frame为宾语从句。宾语从句中包含两个并列的谓语:acknowledged和adm
42、itted。第二个谓语后含有一个宾语从句how they handled her thin frame。译文:她了解到,自己的新任医生承认身体质量指数不是衡量健康体重的唯一标准,且学校对于她体重过轻的处理方法确实犯了错误。1. B 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。【解题思路】 从第一段第二句中的add flesh to her tiny frame可知,她每天吃冰淇淋是为了增加体重,故选B。2. C 【命题意图】 考查推理判断。【解题思路】 从最后一段可知,BMI并不是衡量身体健康的唯一标准,故可推出C项正确。3. C 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。【解题思路】 从第二段可知,Chan的身材极瘦,与家族基因有关,所以选C。4. B 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。【解题思路】 从倒数第三段的第一句话可知,Chan对校方的增重命令感到愤怒。故选B项。5. B 【命题意图】 考查推理判断。【解题思路】 从最后一段可知,新的医生承认学校犯了错误,故不会出现A,C项所述的做法,B项正确。文章中看不出Chan及家人会因校方的过错而控告校方,所以D项叙述是错误的。
