25、en句意:每个人的脸都藏在面具后,很难分辨他们到底是谁。考查非谓语动词。face与hide之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。3.which句意:我借给他十本杂志,其中的大部分都比你想象的更精彩。考查定语从句。most of which 引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词ten magazines。4.to be working句意:当老板进来时,工人们假装正在机器上努力工作。考查非谓语动词。pretend to be doing假装正在做。5.relaxed句意:花了一个小时的时间解出那道数学题之后,她感到轻松愉快。考查形容词。relaxed“轻松的”,符合句意。6.is being rebu
26、ilt句意:目前他们和父母住在一起,因为他们自己的房子正在重建。本题考查动词时态和语态。 由题干中的are living可知此处应该是现在进行时,且house与rebuild之间是被动关系,所以要用现在进行时的被动语态is being done结构。7.marking句意:神舟八号成功地和天宫一号对接,这标志着中国建立自己空间站的开始。考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知非谓语动词与前面逻辑主语之间是主动关系,因此要用v.-ing形式。8.to句意:如果你对这个单词的意思没有把握的话,可以查一下词典。考查固定搭配。refer to参考、查阅。9.a;the句意:这对夫妇有自己的理由把他们离婚的事情暂时
27、保密。keep sth.a secret把某事保密;for the moment暂且、目前。10.Dressed句意:穿着校服,我们都为自己是这所名校的学生而有一种自豪感。考查非谓语动词作状语。根据固定搭配be dressed in可知此处应该用过去分词作状语。二、语法填空语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。本文向我们介绍了应该如何成为一名记者。成为一名记者需要做很多,首先要接受必要的教育,应该获得尽可能多的实际经验。1.at考查介词。at least至少。2.will assist考查时态。根据语境可知,这是说将来的事情,应该是在你找记者方面的工作时学校会帮助你。3.are receiving考查时态
28、。while是解题的关键,意思是说在接受教育期间应该获得尽可能多的实际经验,所以要用现在进行时。4.working考查非谓语动词。mean作“意思是,意味着”讲时后接动名词作宾语。5.experiences考查名词。experience意为“经验”不可数,意为“经历”时可数,根据句意此处应该是说实习是非常宝贵的经历。6.to考查介词。所填词应该与lead构成搭配。lead to“导致,造成”,符合句意。7.well考查副词。设空处前后出现的两个be able to是提示,as well as意为“也,还”。句意:他们需要能够从有趣的角度去处理它,也能够有效地与他人交流。8.effectivel
29、y考查副词。此空所填词应该修饰动词communicate,所以需要用副词形式effectively。9.ability考查名词。设空处前面的定冠词the提示此空应该填写名词,因此将able变为名词ability。10.valuable考查形容词。应用形容词修饰名词skill,所以此处填valuable。三、完形填空语篇解读本文为记叙文,题材为人物故事。一位希望孩子独立的母亲告诉这位即将进入大学的孩子如何熨衣服。通过熨衣服技巧传授的过程,孩子不仅学会了如何有技巧地熨好每件衣服,同时还明白生活中最大的困难也并不可怕,只要我们用心一个一个去解决,一切很快就会顺畅起来。1.A母亲很明确地解释了(给我)
30、上这堂课的原因。reason原因;rule规则;emotion情绪;method方法。2.D从上文可知,作者即将上大学,生活必须独立了,故答案为D(独立的)。helpful有帮助的;confident有信心的;powerful 有权势的。3.C从上文 Also,I would be meeting new people 可知,熨好的衣服将会帮助我给别人留一个好的印象,故答案为C(印象)。conclusion 结论;suggestion 建议;observation 观察。4.B从本段接下来的文字可以看出,熨衬衫是件不容易的活儿,故选B。useful 有用的;easy容易的;special 特殊
31、的;suitable 合适的。5.C从后文的Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10 feet.可知,这不是一项像溜冰那样很流畅的行动,故选C(连续而流畅的)。direct 直接的;single 单一的;strange 奇怪的。6.D从本段接下来的内容可知,熨衣服含有危险的因素,故选D(危险)。doubt 怀疑;pressure 压力;surprise 惊讶。7.A根据句意可知,如果在你离开时忘记把熨斗切断电源,房子就有可能会被烧毁,故选A(离开)。fall down 摔倒;jump off
32、从跳下来;look up查阅,往上看。8.A根据文意可知,母亲在教我怎么熨衣服,故选A(教)。choose 选择;force强迫;send发送。9.C根据上文可知,衣领靠近我们的脸,每个人都可以看到我们的衣领,故选C(看)。touch 接触;design 设计;admire 钦佩。10.D根据句意,这些年来,我已经学会了很熟练地熨衬衫,这给了我一种自豪感,故选D(自豪)。honesty 诚实;freedom 自由;justice 正义。11.B根据下文可知,熨衣服的经历给我的生活带来积极的影响,前后是递进关系,故选B。instead 反而,却;otherwise 否则;however然而。12
33、.B根据文意,对于生活中的困难或问题,只要你一个一个用心去处理,一切很快就会顺畅起来的,故选B(处理)。make up 组成,编造;ask for 要求;rely on 依赖。四、阅读理解语篇解读什么是MOOC课程?它能为学习者提供什么样的教育?人们会学到什么东西呢?1.A细节理解题。根据第二段中Others charge for courses and provide credits.可知这类课程班有的还是要收费的,所以答案为A项:并非都是免费的。文章第一句话是为了引出下文,而并非真的是老师们的噩梦,排除B项;文中没有信息说高中生很喜欢这种课程,排除C项;根据第三段第一句可知该课程的专业不仅
34、仅有电脑科学和技术,排除D项。2.A细节理解题。根据第三段的a free course called “Building a Computer Search Engine”和through 可知这是一个网上的免费课程,所以答案为A项。3.B细节理解题。根据第四段的The students watch short videos.可知参加该课程的学生主要是看短视频,所以答案为B项。A项错在every day;C项错在any question和anytime;根据倒数第二段的描述可排除D项。4.C词义猜测题。根据文章最后一句中accessible for all,anywhere and anytime可以推断出:Mr.Thrun想普及教育。improve提高,改善;limit限制;popularize使流行,使受欢迎,普及;receive收到。所以答案为C项。5.D主旨大意题。根据第一段的the massive open online course,or MOOC以及后面对该课程的介绍可知,本文的主题就是:在网上接受免费教育,所以答案为D项。
