42、管你的问题是什么,都要做对自己来说最好的决定)在此承上启下。18F上一句提到参加体育运动意味着寻找乐趣,下文提到最坏的事情不过是被裁掉,但你完全可以再尝试其他的运动。因此,F项(如果你真心喜欢一项运动却不确定能否加入这个队伍,那么也要努力一下)使上下文语意连贯。19G上一句提到一些像棒球和篮球的运动需要场上的队员密切配合,因此G项(确实,一些人比其他人表现得好得多,但是体育巨星不一定能组成一支优秀的队伍)承接上文,说明了配合的重要性。20C上一句提到在一些像网球、田径、游泳等的体育比赛中,个人得分会被分别记到队伍的总分里,因此C项(当然也有例外,如田径和游泳中的接力赛)承上启下。.完形填空(共

49、iscoveredA作为一名职业网球运动员,她通过比赛赢得荣誉,所以win符合语境。句意为“她总共获得了三个不同的大满贯头衔”。23AtennisBgolfCbasketballDbaseballA根据上文可知,Davenport是一个职业网球运动员。句意为“她八次坐上世界女子网球排名的头把交椅”。24AbasicBtotalCcertainDcommonB本段主要是对Davenport作为一名职业网球运动员的比赛成果的一个总结,所以total“总的;全部的”符合语境。句意为“在她的职业生涯中,Davenport总共获得了2 200万美元的奖金”。25ALaterBAgainCMaybeDOn

57、介词on连用,impact on.表示“对的影响”。38putting/to put考查非谓语动词。 (put) regular exercise into your routine作主语,表示主动关系和抽象概念,故填putting/to put。39suggesting考查非谓语动词。动词suggest与evidence之间是主谓关系,非谓语表示被修饰对象长久的特征,因此用现在分词suggesting作后置定语。40researchers考查名词。此处缺主语,再依据下一句中的“They found”可知,这里应用复数名词,指研究人员。41effectively考查副词。此处副词effecti
58、vely位于动名词短语后作状语。42However考查副词。根据下文中的“many of us cant take exercise regularly”可知前后文在内容上形成对比,且空后有逗号,故此处应用However。43what考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处所填词引导主语从句,在从句中作动词mean的宾语,起双重代词的作用,故用what。44ourselves考查反身代词。此处意为“我们为自己做些事情”,主语与宾语指同一些人,故用反身代词ourselves。45started/should start考查固定句式。在“It is time (that).”句式中,that引导的从句
59、的谓语用过去式或should do的形式。.写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节应用文写作(满分15分)假如你是李华,你的加拿大笔友Harry上周写信询问你的体育爱好。请根据以下要点给他写一封回信,内容包括:1你喜欢的运动项目及原因;2何时喜欢上这项运动,现在参加该运动的情况如何;3询问对方的体育爱好。注意:1.词数80左右;2信的开头和结尾已经给出,不计入总词数;3可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。Dear Harry,I am glad to receive your letter._Yours sincerely,Li Hua【参考范文】Dear Harry,I am glad to rece

65、e said,and Craig did.Riley started skating,but Craig didnt feel like he was flying.It just felt like a shaking piggyback ride.“Youre too heavy,” Riley said.“I cant go fast when Im carrying you.” She skated slowly back to the bench.Craig got off her back.“Even if you could go fast,I wouldnt be flying
66、.” he said sadly.“I need skates to fly.”Riley didnt say anything on the walk home,but a few days later she asked Craig if he wanted to go skating.“To watch?” he asked.“No,to skate,” she said cheerfully.“Mom and I found a pair of my old skates.They might fit you.” The skates were a little big,but whe
