31、ion with my old friends back home.文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者几个月前要去加拿大学习时紧张的心理活动以及对家乡依依不舍的情怀。解析:1考查冠词。句意:我感到紧张,因为我要去一个都是陌生人的新地方。分析句子可知,place为可数名词,被形容词new修饰,表示一个新的地方。且new的首字母的发音为辅音音素,所以应填不定冠词a。2考查主谓一致。句意:起初使我担心的是我不能流利地说英语,也不能理解他们的习俗。分析句子可知,本句为一般过去时,what引导的主语从句在句中作主语,所以be动词用第三人称单数was。故填was。3考查副词。句意同上。分析句子可知,
32、fluently为副词,修饰动词speak。故填fluently。4考查代词。句意同上。their为形容词性物主代词,修饰名词。故填their。5考查介词。句意:一切都和我的国家不一样。be different from“与不同”为固定短语。故填from。6考查关系副词。句意:那是一个悲伤的时刻,我不得不在机场向我的家人和朋友告别。moment 为先行词,后面的定语从句中缺少时间状语,所以关系副词为when。故填when。7考查动词不定式。句意:我不愿离开我的家乡,因为我在那里长大,对那个熟悉的地方有着美好的回忆。be unwilling to do sth.“不愿做某事”。故填to leav
33、e。8考查名词。句意同上。memory“记忆的东西,回忆”为可数名词。本句所描述的事物有多方面的回忆,所以用复数memories。故填memories。9考查名词。句意:然而,我知道出国留学是我自己做出的决定,我不得不接受这个挑战。不定冠词a修饰可数名词decision。故填decision。10考查动名词。句意:到现在为止,我已经习惯了这里的新生活,虽然我一直期待回家和我的老朋友一起度过即将到来的假期。to为介词,后接动名词spending作宾语。故填spending。.概要写作阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。Every summer,hundreds of thousa
