30、章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。七岁的Charlotte Benjamin给乐高公司写信提意见一事使她一时成为家喻户晓的人物，乐高公司对她的提议进行了积极回复。1became考查动词的时态。设空处为句子谓语部分；再结合前文Last week可知，用一般过去时。故填became。2when/after考查状语从句的连接词。句意：当Charlotte那封寄给乐高公司的手写信公之于众时(或之后)，她就成为一名家喻户晓的人，是所有年轻女孩的英雄。分析句子可知，此处需要填入一个连词来连接前后两个句子；然后结合句意“信被公之于众时或者被公之于众后，她出名了”。故填when/after。3diversity考查词
31、性转换。句意：Charlotte抱怨乐高公司的人物角色缺乏多样性。分析句子成分可知，此处需要名词作of的宾语，形容词diverse的名词形式为diversity。故填diversity。4a考查冠词。句意：今天我去了一家店铺。表泛指且store以辅音音素开头。故填a。5What考查主语从句的连接词。句意：女孩子所能做的就是坐在家里。分析句子成分可知，“_5_ all the girls did”该部分为句子主语，即主语从句；再分析主语从句可知，其缺宾语，意义也不完整，所以用what来引导该主语从句。故填What。6more考查形容词的比较级。句意：我想让你们成就更多的乐高女孩。结合上下文，Ch
32、arlotte希望通过她向乐高公司写信这一行为能够有更加多样性的乐高人物，从而造就更多的乐高女孩，所以用比较级。故填more。7so考查固定句式。“so many/much that . ”为固定句式，意为“如此多以至于”。故填so。8shared考查被动语态。句意：这封信在Facebook上被转贴了差不多2,500次并被分享了超过5,000次。此处为and连接的两个谓语“has been posted”和“has been shared”，要注意的是，第二个谓语中的has been为了避免重复需要省略，故填shared。9stating考查非谓语动词。句意：乐高公司回复Charlotte时陈
33、述到。responded在句子中作谓语，且句中无连词，所以state应用非谓语形式且state与句子主语LEGO之间为主动关系，所以用ing形式；同时结合句意，state这一动作与谓语respond这一动作同时发生，所以state在句子中作伴随状语。故填stating。10to balance考查非谓语动词。句意：他们已经向乐高世界添加了新的人物角色来平衡主题的吸引力。分析句子成分并结合句意可知，balance在句中作目的状语，所以用to do形式。故填to balance。.书面表达(2019陕西商洛市山阳中学2月模拟)假定你叫李华，作为学校文学学会的会长，你将邀请曹文轩做一次关于儿童文学的
