3、then said, I would like_3_(spend) the night with you very much.【答案】1. has been 2. children 3. to spend【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的母亲生前为作者做的事,告诉读者爱就是那个心里对某人的不离不弃。【1题详解】考查现在完成时态。句意:我母亲已经守寡19年了。可知,句子用现在完成时态,再根据句子主语是My mother,属于单数第三人称,故填has been。【2题详解】考查名词复数。根据空格前的three可知,空格后面的名词用复数形式,故填children。【3题详解】考查固定结构。
4、句意:我很想和你一起过夜。固定结构:would like to do sth.“愿意做某事”。故填to spend。B阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写一个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch _4_ the people that we want to.

6、hen 6. who 7. doing【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是高科技时代,是互联网把我们联系在一起。【4题详解】考查固定搭配。句意:如今,我们可以周游世界,仍然与我们想要的人保持联系。固定搭配:stay in touch with sb.“与保持联系”。故填with。【5题详解】考查连词。句意:如果我们有Wi-Fi连接,社交媒体工具可以让我们看到朋友们在做什么。/当我们有Wi-Fi连接时,社交媒体工具让我们看到我们的朋友在做什么。结合句意,可知此处是if引导的条件状语从句或when引导的时间状语从句。故填if/when。【6题详解】考查定语从句。句意:数字时代还使我们能够找
7、到与我们有共同兴趣的人,比如收集汽车模型或演奏一种不同寻常的乐器。此处people是先行词,指人,放在后面的定语从句中作主语,故填who。【7题详解】考查固定搭配。句意:不管我们的爱好是什么,互联网可以把我们和那些喜欢做这些事情的人联系起来,即使他们住在世界的另一端。固定搭配:enjoy doing sth.“喜欢做某事”。此处是动名词作宾语,故填doing。【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第3小题中先行词为名词people,再分析先行词people在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词people带到从句中可知
8、,只能作主语,故确定关系词为who。C阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写一个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。Spring usually _8_(begin) on February 3-5 every year.

9、 a traditional festival in China - on behalf of the beginning of the new year. So it _10_(value) greatly by Chinese people. There exists the popular custom of eating spring rolls and cakes on that day, so it has another saying of biting spring.【答案】8. begins 9. warmer 10. is valued【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述春天给
10、我们带来变化。【8题详解】考查一般现在时态。句意:春天通常在每年的2月3-5日开始。根据every year可知句子用一般现在时态,再根据句子主语Spring是单数第三人称,故填begins。【9题详解】考查形容词比较级。句意:从这一天开始,白天变长,天气变暖。根据句意和longer可知此处用形容词比较级,故填warmer。【10题详解】考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意:因此,它被中国人非常重视。此处value是动词,意思是“重视”,这里在将一个客观事实,且句子主语it和value之间是一种被动关系,所以用一般现在时态的被动语态,故填is valued。第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.
