25、g句意:适应热带地区的高温比我们预料的更为困难。考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知,设空处在主句中作主语,故用动名词形式。4.killed句意:许多孩子的父母在战争中死亡,他们成了孤儿。考查独立主格结构。their parents与kill之间是被动关系,故用过去分词形式。5.Offered句意:彼得在一部新电影里获得了一个重要的角色,他有机会成为一名著名演员。考查非谓语动词。Peter与offer之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作状语。6.about句意:由于对教育制度的不满,如今,越来越多的家长想在教育孩子方面带来变化。bring about带来。7.before句意:似乎是用了很长时间那个女演员才
26、出现,这让记者和观众都很失望和生气。考查时间状语从句。到之前,要用before引导。8.Hopefully句意:我希望在8:30电视播出足球赛之前到家的。哦,那就要看你的工作效率了。考查副词。此处用副词形式修饰后面整个句子。hopefully充满希望地。9.(should)be;to do句意:我爸爸坚持认为为了做好功课,每一分钟都应该被充分运用。考查非谓语动词。 insist意为:坚持认为、坚决要求,其后that从句中的谓语动词用(should+)动词原形;第二个空是不定式作状语,表目的。10.apparently句意:那个被车撞倒的男孩自己站起来了,显然他没有受伤。考查副词。此处应该用副词
27、apparently“显然”来修饰unhurt。二、语法填空语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了假期作业有没有必要的问题。作者认为,假期作业对于小学生来说完全没有必要,但对于要参加重要考试的学生来说是有必要的。1.majority考查名词。此处表示“大多数作业都是不重要的”,major的名词形式为majority,the majority of.表示“大多数的”。2.unnecessary考查形容词。根据下文However后面的语境“对于即将参加重要考试的学生来说做作业是有必要的”可知,此处表示“对于小学生来说作业是完全没有必要的”,故此处答案为necessary的反义词unnecessary
28、“没有必要的”。3.it考查代词。此处it用作形式主语,代替后面的动词不定式。4.higher考查形容词比较级。句意:在那个阶段从十岁以及更大年龄开始。故用high的比较级形式higher。5.independent考查形容词。此处应该用形容词修饰后面的名词research,再根据句意,故此处答案为depend的形容词形式independent,表示“独立的”。6.determining考查状语从句的省略。此处为when引导的时间状语从句的省略,补全为when they are determining.,故答案为determine的-ing 形式,即determining。7.when考查固定
29、句式。when it comes to.为固定句式,表示“当涉及某事时”。8.placing考查非谓语动词。avoid表示“避免”,其后接v.-ing形式作宾语,故此处答案为placing。9.by考查介词。by doing sth.表示“通过做某事”。10.ability考查名词。由设空前的childrens可知此处应用名词形式,故此处答案为ability。三、完形填空语篇解读小时候,我常和祖母出去散步,也总是会在路边幸运地发现一些遗落的硬币。多年后,我才知道,是谁带给儿时的我如此多的幸运和欢愉。1.Bor提示这里指相反的情况,即我和祖母常会无所不谈,又或者只是默默地散步,享受户外活动和彼此

34、r适合于;(be) famous for因而著名。16.C祖父不是那种常常把我当做小孩子拥抱的人。hug v.拥抱;beat v.打;respect v.尊敬;scold v.责骂。17.D根据上文可知,虽然祖父不表现出来,但是我从不怀疑他对我的爱。never adv.从不;always adv.总是;often adv.经常;sometimes adv.有时。18.C祖父用出乎我意料的方式给予了我快乐,我却从来没有把这件事与祖父联系起来。connect to联系到,连接到;devote to致力于;reply to答复;turn to求助于,转向。19.A现在,当我在街上散步时,我会偶尔扔掉
