(they) food,clothes and shelter.答案及剖析:1.destroying考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,destroy在句中是非谓语动词,作结果状语,与句子主语“a storm”是主动关系,应用动词-ing形式。故填destroying。2.own
5、ers考查名词单复数。根据空前的their可知,此处要填提示词的复数形式。3.and考查连词。前后之间为顺承关系,故用并列连词and来连接。4.of考查介词。a number of是固定搭配,意为“许多”。5.was eating考查时态。根据下文的when we heard a loud noise可知,此处为“be doing.when.”结构,从句中时态为过去时,主语为I。故填was eating。6.to climb考查非谓语动词。try ones best to do sth.是固定短语,意为“尽力做某事”。故填to climb。7.missing考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,空格处
6、在句中作表语,故填提示词的形容词形式missing,意为“找不到的,不见了的”。8.frightened考查形容词。此处修饰人,做宾补,故填以-ed结尾的形容词frightened。9.the考查冠词。此处表特指,故填the。10.them考查代词。bring sb.sth.是固定用法,意为“给某人带来”,动词后用宾格形式,故此处用they的宾格them。.阅读填空(七选五)Universities around the country are doing everything they can to become green campuses.1.,but there are also it

20、2.C下文中For disabled people,“adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary(临时的).提到了adopt这个词,指的是让人们采用乘坐轮椅的方式了解残疾人,这是一种暗示;此处指的是被要求“接受残疾”几个小时以了解残疾人,因此选C。cure表示“治愈”;prevent表示“阻止”;analyze表示“分析”。3.D作者以自己作为例子,下文中也主要是以作者本人的体验来展开的,所以选like me“像我这样的”。4.A根据下文的I had never considered before how it would be to use one.可
21、知,作者从来没有考虑过怎样使用轮椅,所以这是一个学习的过程,故选learning。5.B既然作者没使用过轮椅,同时结合下文也可看出作者使用起轮椅来比较笨拙,不知道该怎样弄才好,因此选B。6.D结合前面的As soon as I sat down.以及后面的made the chair begin to roll 的暗示和常识可知,当作者坐下后,应该是作者的体重使得轮椅开始动起来。7.A作者一坐下轮椅就开始动起来,表明这个轮子没有被锁住。8.B联系下文It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest.中的footrest可知,这里指作者不知道该
22、把脚放到哪里。9.A联系上句的内容可知,作者费了半天劲,终于把footrest放到了恰当的位置,上文的where对此处的place也是一种提示。10.C这里表示作者第一次不安地看了看将要在上面度过几个小时的唯一的交通工具(transportation)。11.C联系本文最后一段的My wheelchair experiment was soon.可知,作者进行的只是一次坐轮椅的体验。此处表示:对那些终生在轮椅上的人们来说,却并非是一次临时性的体验。12.D联系后面的thought it might be restful中的restful可知,作者经过一番周折想在轮椅上找一个比较舒适的位置来坐得
23、放松些。13.Drestful和nice是一种递进的关系,故选even,表示程度,意为“甚至”。14.B联系下文的I would have to handle the thing myself!可知,作者原以为有人会推着自己的轮椅到处转转。15.A联系前面的Looking around“环顾四周”,作者终于明白了I would have to handle the thing myself,即作者明白了得自己来推动轮椅,而不是有人推着他。16.B结合前面的My hands started to ache和后面的the heavy metal wheels可知,当作者转动轮子让轮椅移动的时候,因为费力,所以手都疼了。turn在这里表示“转动”。17.C转动轮椅的轮子后,下一步就是把握轮椅的方向。18.A对于一个“新人”来说,控制轮椅的方向不是一项容易的任务。19.D前文已经提到了for several hours one Sunday,联系下文的It made a deep impression on me.可知,作者的这次体验很快就结束了。20.B几个小时的残疾体验,对于作者无论在生理上还是心理上都是一种挑战,而这种挑战是残疾人必须克服的,故答案为B项。
