26、的道路呢？本文就这个问题展开阐述。 解析：1根据上文“我们在上大学的时候没有长期计划。”和下文“整个过程可以分为三个阶段。”可知，空处应该是过渡句，起承上启下的作用。故E项符合语境。2上文谈到第一个阶段应该做的，再结合空前的“If you complete this stage”可知，A项符合语境，衔接上文。3第四段讲的是第二个阶段，在这个阶段，我们要进一步提高自己的技能，了解自己要做什么，而下文说我们想匆忙到达那里(下一阶段)，但是赶忙是徒劳的。故F项“我们大多数人似乎都想直接跳到下一个阶段”与之衔接紧密，且下文中的“in a hurry”与F项中的“jump straight to”表达的
27、意思相近。故选F。4空处是该段的主题句，D项中的“The final part”与上文的“The first”“The second stage”相呼应。且D项中的“filling fuel”与下文中的“staying strong”相呼应。因此选D。5空前的条件状语从句与G项中的条件状语从句形成对比。因此选G。.语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Remember Mr.Bean?

32、析：1考查介词。for a while为固定搭配，表示“一段时间”。2考查非谓语动词。空格处作定语，a new movie与call之间为逻辑上的动宾关系。故用过去分词called。3考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语next Monday可知此处需要用将来时，又主语the film与release之间为被动关系。故用一般将来时的被动语态。4考查名词。空格处作enjoyed的宾语。故填名词success。5考查冠词。make a mess of sth.“把某事搞得一塌糊涂”，为固定短语。6考查形容词的比较级。第三段提出问题后已经分析了一方面的原因，第四段就是更深层的原因了。故填deep的比较
33、级形式。7考查代词。空格处作laugh at的宾语。故填him。8考查强调句。分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句型，强调的对象是physical humor。故用that。9考查状语从句。空处引导让步状语从句，且在从句中作地点状语。故用wherever。10考查连词。空处前后是转折关系。故填but。.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用()划掉。 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注

39、ur jobs and our own happy families.We are grateful for what Mum has done for us.解析：1考查名词。句意：我的妈妈65岁了。sixtyfive years old “65岁”。故year改为years。2考查定语从句。句意：我的妈妈65岁了，她把自己奉献给整个家庭以及我们三个女儿。这里构成非限制性定语从句，用who指代妈妈。故that改为who。3考查冠词。句意：今天，我仍然很清楚地记得有一段时期，在遥远的乡村生活真的很困难。这里的time是可数名词，表示“时期”。故the改为a。4考查连词。句意：那儿的人们有很强的
40、偏见，认为女孩不应该去上学而应该待在家里做家务活。根据句意可知and改为but。 5考查副词。句意：然而，我的妈妈有完全不同的观点。用副词totally修饰形容词opposite。故total改为totally。 6考查副词。句意：她的三个女儿应该受到教育，无论别人怎么想，无论生活多么的困难。用表示程度的副词修饰形容词hard。 no matter how hard life was“无论生活多么困难”。故what改为how。7考查介词短语。句意：由于文化大革命，我的妈妈没有受过什么教育。because后加句子，because of后接the Chinese Cultural Revolution。故because后加of。8考查固定句式。句意：她决定不让同样的事情发生在她的女儿身上。let sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”。故删掉happen前面的to。9考查代词。句意：令她高兴的是，我们三姐妹都考上了大学，受到很好的教育。很明显，这里是“令妈妈高兴的是”。故his改为her。10考查副词。句意：我们很感激妈妈为我们做的一切。so后接形容词grateful。故such改为so。
