19、 to focus attention on their lessons.Its likely to get hurting in sports.Yours,Li Hua一、单句填空1.with句意:2012年的夏天在黄山看到的日出的美给我留下了深刻的印象。考查固定搭配。be impressed with意为:对有印象。2.had cooked句意:在母亲下班回来之前,我姐姐和我已经做好晚饭,一直在等着她。考查动词时态。本题中By the time后的从句中用一般过去时,主句需用过去完成时。3.What句意:这个病人看起来好多了。是什么让他变成今天这个样子的呢?或许是特效药和他家人的耐心护理。
20、考查强调句。此处是强调句型的特殊疑问句形式,被强调部分是主语,故用what。4.mixed句意:当盐和水混合的时候,盐会很快融化,这是物理反应。考查状语从句的省略。when mixed with water是when the salt is mixed with water的省略形式。5.Not having received句意:由于没有收到回应,焦急的母亲决定再给女儿发一个电子邮件。考查非谓语动词。现在分词的完成式作原因状语。Not having received相当于状语从句Because she hadnt received。6.sit;to go句意:我不愿意坐在这儿等,我宁愿去看看
21、到底发生什么事情了。由题干结构可知考查prefer to do.rather than do.结构,故第一个空用sit;第二个空用to go。7.Influenced句意:受到对大自然越来越感兴趣的影响,越来越多的人开始享受户外运动了。考查非谓语动词作状语。主语people与非谓语动词之间是被动关系,所以要用过去分词形式。8.for句意:直到后来玛丽才意识到自己在园林设计方面有天赋。考查固定搭配。have a talent for有某方面的天赋。9.loss;lost句意:他对老师提出的问题完全不知该说些什么,很显然刚才他陷入沉思了。第一个空考查固定搭配at a loss不知所措;第二个空考查
22、固定搭配be lost in沉浸在,专注于。10.that句意:郑和在Christopher Columbus横渡大西洋的80年前就已航海到达过东非了。考查强调句型。把It was和空格处去掉后句子结构和句子意思仍然完整,由此可知是强调句式,故填that。二、语法填空语篇解读罗伯特彭斯(Robert Burns),从小熟悉苏格兰民谣和古老传说,并曾搜集、整理民歌,主要用苏格兰语写作,所作诗歌受民歌影响,通俗流畅,便于吟唱,在民间广为流传,被认为是苏格兰的民族诗人,在世界各地都受到欢迎。1.in考查介词。in astyle以风格,故用in。2.locally考查副词。副词修饰谓语were wel
23、l received。3.which考查定语从句。在定语从句中缺少主语,因此用关系代词which。误解分析:不能用that,因为这是一个非限制性定语从句。4.However考查副词。根据前后句子的意思可知此处表示转折,且空格后有个逗号,故填However。5.it考查代词。it作found的形式宾语,真正的宾语是不定式短语to return to farming。6.When/After考查状语从句。依据后面句子的意思可知,空格处引导时间状语从句。句意:当他发现农耕同样获利很少时,1789年他进入了政府服务行业。7.dating考查非谓语动词。现在分词短语作定语,date back to追溯到
24、,不用于被动语态。8.to support考查非谓语动词。此处为不定式作目的状语。句意:他死后不久,苏格兰各地都捐款以维持他的妻子及孩子的生计。9.is celebrated考查时态和语态。memory 与celebrate之间是被动关系,故用被动语态。由时间状语Today可知用一般现在时。10.an考查冠词。此处表泛指,即一种非正式的国庆节。三、阅读理解语篇解读知道“莫扎特效应”吗?有人说听了莫扎特的音乐会让孩子变得更聪明。这难道是真的吗?1.D推理判断题。第一段最后一句话告诉我们:谈到这种说法的科学依据时,情况就复杂了。由此可知答案为D项:支持这种说法的科学证据很少。2.B细节理解题。根据
25、第二段的描述:莫扎特毫无疑问是一个天才,他的音乐也很复杂。人们就在20世纪90年代初建立了这种想法:听莫扎特的音乐会让孩子变得更聪明。A项应该是在Nature杂志上描述了这样一项研究,而不是一项研究在Nature杂志上描述了这种效果;C、D有关莫扎特音乐带来的这两方面影响没有提及。3.B推理判断题。后面的句子描述:许许多多的家长开始为孩子播放莫扎特的音乐,为的是让孩子变得更聪明。由此推断出这种观点被很多人接受了。4.C推理判断题。根据文章最后:这种影响是短暂的也不会让我们变得更聪明,由此可知作者是持怀疑态度的。5.A主旨大意题。文章第一段提出一个“莫扎特效应”,描述了它的起源以及人们对此的态度
26、。最后作者通过例子表明了自己的观点:听莫扎特音乐不会让孩子们变聪明。所以答案为A项。四、短文改错1.第一句中的if改为whether考查宾语从句。whether引导宾语从句时,可以放在介词的后面,而if不可以。2.第二句中的opinion改为opinions考查名词。根据该词前面的two different可以判断,该名词应该用复数。3.第三句中的do改为doing考查非谓语动词。doing morning exercises与playing basketball并列,故用v.-ing。4.第三句中的第二个and改为but考查行文逻辑。前后两句在逻辑上为转折关系,所以用but。5.第四句中的c
27、ant改为can考查行文逻辑。这里指“锻炼能够强健一个人的体能并减少疾病”,故用can。6.第五句中的to去掉考查非谓语动词。let后接不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。7.第六句中的other前加the考查固定短语。on the other hand“另一方面”,为固定短语。8.第六句中的was改为is考查时态。根据句意,另一方面,“45%的人认为锻炼身体浪费时间并且令人疲惫”,可知讲述的是他们的看法,应该用一般现在时。9.第七句中的exciting改为excited考查形容词。they指代的是45%的人,所以认为“运动之后,他们很长时间太兴奋而不能集中注意力到他们的课程上”。因此用excited指人“兴奋的”。10.第八句中的hurting改为hurt考查动词语态。get hurt意思是“受伤”,符合语境。
