33、ing so wildly in this busy city, but happily the loving fox still keeps turning up. 语篇解读本文一篇记叙文。作者在某个晚上下班之后救了一只腿受伤的小狐狸，从此以后与这只小狐狸结下了不解之缘。1解析：考查冠词。injured为元音音素开头，前面应该用an而不是a。故将a改成an。答案：第一句第二个aan2解析：考查人称代词。根据下文的“Then I feed her some fish.”和“She was comfortable enough to come really close me.She allowe
34、d me to take photo of her, the best of whom I posted on social media.”可知，这只狐狸是母狐狸，所以应该用she而不是he指代这只狐狸。故将He改成She。答案：第二句HeShe3解析：考查动词的时态。作者给狐狸喂食物这件事发生在过去，所以时态要用一般过去时，故将feed改成fed。答案：第三句feedfed4解析：考查动词的时态。句意：然后我喂了她一些鱼。几个星期后，狐狸回来了，(状态)好多了，(她)从那以后就一直来这里。根据时间状语ever since可知，此处要用现在完成时而不是过去完成时，故将had改成has。答案：第
35、四句hadhas5解析：考查介词。句意：她很舒服地靠近了我。根据句意这里要表示的是“靠近我”，close作形容词表示“接近的”且后面要接人或物时，要与介词to搭配使用，故在close后加to。答案：第五句close后加to6解析：考查名词的单复数。photo是可数名词，根据下文“the best of whom I posted on social media”可知，作者要把拍得最好的照片上传到社交媒体上，这说明作者不止拍了一张照片，此处要用photo的复数形式，故将photo改成photos。答案：第六句photophotos7解析：考查非限制性定语从句。分析可知“the best of w
36、hom I posted on social media”是非限制性定语从句，先行词photos指物，引导词在从句中作介词of的宾语，应该用which而不是whom引导这个定语从句。故将whom改成which。答案：第六句whomwhich8解析：考查及物动词。句意：不久之后，她带着她的幼崽一起来看我，这真是出乎意料。visit表示“拜访，看望”之意时为及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，不需要介词to。故将visit后的to去掉。答案：第七句去掉visit后to9解析：考查形容词。修饰不定代词something要用形容词，故将wildly改成wild。答案：第八句wildlywild10解析：考查连词
37、。句意：在这个繁忙的城市里，能与如此野生的事物有这样的联系，真是太棒了，而且令人高兴的是，这只可爱的狐狸还在不断出现。前后为并列关系，不是转折关系。故将but改成and。答案：第八句butand.书面表达假定你是李华，想邀请你的新西兰朋友Kevin参加你校将要举行的“劳动周”相关活动。请用英语给他写封邮件，内容包括：1活动时间；2活动内容(如：校园环境美化、校内垃圾分类等)；3活动意义。参考词汇：Labour Week劳动周注意：1词数100左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。_参考范文Dear Kevin，I feel extremely delighted to inform you
