26、的“kids with special needs”的含义。根据前一句的主语they, 我们会首先想到B项和G项，但是本处举例的是有残疾的孩子，所以G项的关联度不如B项， B承接上句，继续说明残疾孩子的特殊需要，also表示添加，与此处语境吻合。故选B项。2G根据首句可知，本段承接第一段继续说明“有特殊需要的孩子”的不同情况，B项和G项与此关联。但对于第一句中的“Kids with an illness”来说，G项中的medicine显然比“get a special bus to school”更为合理。故选G项。3C根据本段下文可知，本段的话题为“有特殊需要的孩子的生活相对艰难”，C项和
27、F项与此关联。 但 F的主语与下句不一致，让人感觉话题的中心变化太突然，而 C项中的 life显然与下句主语It一致，较好地保持话题一致，有利于突出“中心话题”。故选 C项。4A从本段开始，文章就如何帮助有特殊需要的孩子进行说明。上句说：和人见面和交友，对于这些孩子来说，可能会有难度。原因何在？显然 A项 是最好的解释或说明，且 A项中的“laugh at or make fun of”与下句的“bullied(欺侮) or teased”吻合。故选 A项。5E分析本文的语篇结构可知，本文第一段就“kids with special needs”的含义做出解释，第二段是就不同类型的情况做进一步
28、的说明，第三段呼吁人们对这些孩子给予关爱和帮助。第四、五段则就如何帮助提出建议。本段的中心话题是如何帮助，D项和 E项有关联，但 D项更像是评论，而不是指引，且 E项中的“to be helpful” 与下文一致。故选 E项。语法填空The British have many traditions but there is nothing more quint essential(典型的) than taking afternoon tea.

33、opular以辅音音素开头，所以前面要用不定冠词a。3comfortably考查词性转化。drinking是动词，后面要用副词comfortably修饰。4was designed考查语态。 “afternoon tea”和design是被动关系，再结合后面的 “要追溯到19世纪40年代” 可知，此处要用一般过去时的被动语态was designed。5fashionable考查词性转化。occasion是名词，前面要用形容词修饰，所以此处填fashionable。6popularity考查词性转化。its是形容词性物主代词，后面要跟名词popularity。7Although/Though/W
34、hile考查连词。“it can be enjoyed at home” 和 “the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or caf” 在意思上是转折关系， 所以此处要用表示让步的连词Although/Though/While。8to enjoy考查不定式。此处是动词不定式表目的。9being asked考查动名词。avoid后面跟doing, 此处应该是 “避开被要求”， 所以要用being asked。10have tried考查时态。句意：我相信一旦你(已经) 尝试了，你就会赞成的。根据句意可知，“尝试” 的动作会产生 “赞成” 的结果，所以这里用现在完成时。
