86、we can continue to learn. A man _66_ really knows how to learn will always be successful, because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, but also be able to teach _67_ how to do it in the best way. The _68_ (educate) person, on the other hand, is either unab
87、le to do something new, or just _69_ (do) it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore, is not _70_ (teach) languages, arithmetic, history, science, etc., but to teach pupils the way to learn.本文主要讲述了我们送孩子们上学的真正原因。61probably解析:修饰动词say用副词probably。62why解析:根据句意“那确实很对,但他们为什么要学这些东西呢?”可知填why。63to_prepare解析:
88、用动词不定式to prepare作目的状语。64the解析:此处表示特指“唯一的原因”,故应填the。65learning解析:than是介词,介词后用动词的现在分词形式,故应填learning。66who/that解析:此句是定语从句,其先行词是a man,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故填who/that。67others解析:根据句意“而且他能够教其他人如何用最好的方法来做好它”可知填others。68uneducated解析:前面分析的是一个真正知道如何学习的人为什么会成功,紧接着分析的是没有受过教育的人会是什么样,故这里应用educate的形容词的反义词uneducated来修饰名词pe
89、rson。69does解析:句意:另一方面,没有受过教育的人不能做好一些新的事情,或做得很糟糕。根据句意和整篇文章的时态可知,应用does与主语the uneducated person保持一致。70to_teach解析:not.but.是固定搭配,意思是“不是而是”,其前后保持平行结构,故这里应填to teach。第四部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节:短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),并在其
