17、对青少年学习和成长造成不利影响你的观点注意:1.词数120150(信的开头和结尾已经给出,但不计入总词数);2短文须包括表中的全部内容,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考词汇:攀比keep up with the JonesesDear Editor,Im a middle school student named Wang Ping._Yours,Wang Ping答案.单项填空1B本题考查状语从句的省略。本句中省略了they are。在状语从句中,如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致便可省略从句中的主语和be动词。2Bmeasure此处意为“有长”。答句句意为:它至少10公里长。3Aon bo
18、ard固定搭配,意为“在飞机上”。4Aconfirm ones belief坚定某人的信念。5Cimpress sb.with sth.使某人印象深刻,是固定搭配。6Dwould like to do sth.和would rather do sth.均为固定用法。7C“nevera比较级名词”表达最高级的意思。8D在序数词前用定冠词the;a great deal为固定短语,意思为 “大量地”;international trade表示泛指概念,不用冠词。9B考查交际用语。前一句表示赞扬,应答句应表示感谢,故选B。10C11D考查there be结构的非谓语动词形式。dream of后须接动
19、名词,不接不定式,there be的动名词形式为there being。12Cclose和closely都可用作副词。close意为“靠近,接近”,常与介词to连用;closely表示抽象意义,意为“密切地;仔细地”。故选C项。13C考查名词性从句。第一空引导同位语从句,用that,并且不能省略;第二空引导宾语从句,(第一个)that可以省略。14Das much as尽那么多,差不多。15B考查非谓语动词。walk这一动作与句子主语为主动关系,故用walking现在分词作状语;而surround与宾语himself为被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。得分策略经典例题Children will w
20、ork actively if _.ApraiseBpraised Cpraising Dto praise错因分析有些考生会认为if后要用动词ing形式,或用不定式表示还未发生的行为,于是误选C或D。其实,这是条件状语从句的省略形式,根据主语与动词的关系可知,孩子们受到表扬,故正确答案选B。得分笔记在时间、条件、让步、比较等状语从句中,当从句的主语与主句的主语一致,且谓语部分含有be动词时,则可将从句的主语与be动词同时省略。.阅读理解16C词义猜测题。根据语境可知,宫廷里的每个人都被第二个画家的大胆挑战吸引住了。当时大家对他的话非常感兴趣。intrigued表示“很感兴趣,着迷”,与fas
21、cinated同义。17B推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,第二个画家提议国王在宫廷中搭起一道帷幕,避免两个画家看到对方的作品。这样做的真正目的是不泄露第一个画家的作品。故选B项。18D推理判断题。根据文章第八、九段可知,国王看到第一个画家的作品后非常满意,于是奖赏他一大笔钱。当国王看到第二个画家的作品时,给了他双倍的钱,觉得他更了不起。19A推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段可知,国王看到第二个画家的作品时非常高兴,同时又非常好奇。于是他接着提出了自己的疑问。20D标题归纳题。根据全文的内容可知。文章讲到两个画家要在宫廷的墙壁上画出同样的画,最终的结果的确是这样的,因此最佳题目是“The Pai
22、ntings on the Wall”。得分策略在阅读理解中遇到标题归纳类题目怎么做?要想做好文章标题类试题,就要对文章结构有很好的掌握。首先了解每个段落的大概意思,然后把它们概括起来,浓缩成一句话或一个短语文章的标题,做到“各个问题通中心”。一、标题的特征首先,概括性。标题能最大程度地覆盖全文,直接指向文章的主要内容,体现文章主旨。其次,醒目性。标题能吸引读者的注意力,唤起读者对文章的阅读兴趣。标题是文章的点睛之笔,要简洁、突出、新颖、是文章的灵魂和门面。标题的好坏直接影响文章的可读性。读者往往从标题上决定文章的阅读取舍,故标题往往比较醒目,甚至比较离奇,目的是吸引读者的注意力,唤起读者对阅
23、读文章的兴趣。所以在选择标题过程中,除了要满足概括性特点,还要考虑标题的醒目性特点。二、考生在做题时如何归纳概括标题1利用主题段来概括标题。一篇文章的第一段或最后一段,往往很重要,因为第一段经常提出文章的主题或最后一段总结文章的主题,知道了文章的主题也就找出了文章中心,把中心浓缩成一句话或一个短语,即文章的标题。2利用主题句来概括标题。最简单有效的方法是先仔细研究文章开头的第一、二句,因为它们经常是文章的主题句;然后,快速浏览文章结尾句。我们可以通过寻找文章的主题句,并对主题句进行概括和提炼,从而轻松地确定文章的标题。但大多数文章的主题句并不明显,这时候需要考生仔细体会字里行间的意思,从整体上
24、把握文章的主要内容。把各个选项和文章的主要内容进行对照,找出意思最接近的选项,即正确选项。经典例题Winners are great at overcoming problems.For example,if you are late because your car breaks down,maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly.Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,so you can call for help when
