22、hing解析：考查非谓语动词。空前面的upon意为“一就”，是介词，介词后应该接动词ing作宾语。2while解析：考查时间状语从句。空前后都是完整的句子，这说明此处需要填入一个能够起连接作用的关联词语，另外空前后的两个句子的动作是同步进行的，他让工人修车胎而在此期间他去学校食堂送鸭子。3to_hand解析：考查非谓语动词。因为空前面已经存在动词went所以此空应该用不定式作目的状语。即去学校食堂是为了送鸭子。4hurriedly解析：考查副词。所填词修饰动词作状语，因此应该用副词形式。5in解析：考查介词。in vain是固定搭配，意为“徒劳”。6the解析：考查冠词。该空后的boy在行文中
23、第二次出现，特指第二段中的a boy，因此应该用定冠词。7letting解析：考查非谓语动词。空前面已经出现了动词was，之间又没有必要的连词衔接，因此判断此处要填非谓语动词形式。此处与主语是主谓关系，所以此空需要用动词ing形式作伴随状语。8children解析：考查名词。根据空前面的定语many可知，此处应该填名词复数形式。9funny解析：考查形容词。所给词介于不定冠词和名词之间，由此判断应该是形容词形式，作定语修饰名词sound。10drove解析：考查时态。此处连词and连接了三个并列谓语put, change和drive，前两个动词都用的是过去式，由此可知此处用过去式drove。.

28、fic.1beforeago考查副词。before用于过去完成时，ago用于一般过去时。2去掉traffic前的the考查冠词。traffic指“交通”，为不可数名词。3had后加been考查语态。从by traffic看此句为被动语态。4sufferedsuffering考查时态与语态。这里不表达被动，而是进行时。5piecepieces考查名词单复数用法。fall to pieces“倒塌”。6fastfaster考查形容词比较级。从后面的than看这里应该是比较级。7在long前加a考查冠词。for a long time为固定用法。8在thousands后加of考查数词。thousan
29、ds of为固定用法，表示“数千的”。9withto考查动词短语。happen to为固定用法。10evernever考查行文逻辑。本句表达“从来不是为如此繁忙的交通设计的”。.书面表达(兰州市调研)假定你是李华，下月你校要举办首届英语周(English Week)活动，请你写信给笔友Peter，介绍相关内容并邀请他参加。信的内容主要包括：1活动内容：英语书法展示、英语演讲比赛、英语戏剧表演等；2举办英语周的意义。注意：1词数100左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。参考词汇：书法calligraphy戏剧dramaDear Peter，I am writing to tell you t
