59、 said that she might write another one but not for 10 years!1解析由语境可知，这里应该用一般现在时，主语The first和schedule之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动形式。答案is scheduled2解析根据语境和主句谓语动词said的时态可以看出，这里应该用过去将来时的被动语态。答案would not be affected3解析这里是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是物，所以用which来引导。答案which4解析由语境可知此处应用现在分词形式作后置定语。答案involving5解析上文问J.K.

61、型】A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management.

It depends on how long you hold_2_. If
62、 I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, Ill have_3_ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.

Life is short, enjoy it!1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._6_ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._答案：1weight做介词on的宾语应用名词weight。2itit指代a glass of water。3an根据上下文语境可知用冠词，而ache以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an
65、。4longerthe more.the more是一个固定句型，从上下文语境可以知道一杯子水拿的时间越长就越觉得重，故用longer。 5all如果我们总是带着负担，迟早我们会带不动的。all the time表示“总是，一直”。6becoming独立主格结构，与逻辑主语是主动关系，故用现在分词。7be refreshed主语与refresh之间存在被动关系，应用被动语态。8Before从本段第二句话可知不要把它带回家，故应该是在回家之前，用连词before。9down放下工作负担。put down“放下”。10for本句的意思是：现在无论你的肩上有什么样的负担，如果可能的话把它放下一会儿吧
66、。故此处用介词for。 语法填空。阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。【辽宁卷题型】Monika：Lois，I noticed that you have a poster(海报) of a footballer(足球运动员) by your desk.Lois：I do.

One is called Andrew and _10_is called Sam, not really sure where they got their names from ，but yeah, two young children.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._6_ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._答案：1that考查宾语从句。从句中主系表结构完整，因此填that。2Although/Though考查状语从句。前文说他最近的表现不是太理想，下文却是表扬他的，
70、可见前后是转折关系，用although/though引导让步状语从句。3what考查名词性从句。这句话的系动词是was，后面接what引导的表语从句。what在从句中同时又充当表语的成分。 4what考查疑问代词。本句是强调句型，去掉强调句型的标志性成分it is.that之后，就变成了what makes everyone think he is handsome。填空时，将疑问语序转换成正常语序即可。 5that考查定语从句。先行词是the only thing，只能用that。6on考查介词。他的背上有文身，“在某人背上”用on。7dont know考查谓语动词。由but和exactly
71、可推知为否定形式，再结合对话的时态，可以推断出答案。8better考查形容词的比较级。根据句意可知，这个问句是让Monika在football player和model之间二选一，而model前面用的就是比较级better，表示“哪一个更好，更适合”，因此此处也应该是good的比较级better。9concentrating考查动词短语。spend time(in) doing sthspend time on sth，作“花费时间做某事”讲，因此应填concentrate的ing形式。10the other考查固定搭配。前文说了他有两个孩子，one.，the other.是二者之间的“一个，另一个”。
