40、you choose 10._(be)happy!【语篇导读】本篇文章主要介绍了一本非常不错的书“Being a Happy Teenager”,这本书将告诉你如何做一个快乐的青少年。【答案与解析】1.useful。考查形容词。本处考查形容词作宾语补足语,find宾语adj.表示发现怎么样。故填useful。句意:你会发现“Being a Happy Teenager”这本书很有用。2.being。考查非谓语动词。本句考查 stop 之后的非谓语形式,stop 可以接不定式也可以接 ving 担当宾语,但是意义不同。stop doing 意为:停止做某事;stop to do 意为:停下来去做
41、某事。根据句意:我们应该停止生气。故填 being。3.happiness。考查名词。本空为主语,所以填happy 的名词形式。句意:很多青少年认为幸福来自于一次好的测试结果或其他人的表扬。4.other。考查形容词。本空指其他人的表扬,故填 other 表示其他的。5.a。考查冠词。attitude 为可数名词,故其前需要加冠词,这里并没有特指,所以填 a。6.will have。本句考查时态。当 if 从句中用一般现在时,主句常用一般将来时,故此空填 will have。句意:如果你能从问题中得到教训,那么你将来一定会成功。7.or。考查连词。通过空前的 too tall 以及空后的too
42、 short,可知此处为“或者”的意思,故填 or。句意:有些学生有太高或太矮的问题。8.us。考查代词。此处作 tell 的宾语,应用 we 的宾格形式 us。9.in。考查介词。本空考查固定短语:in a adj.way,意为:以方式。故填 in。句意:我们应该以积极的态度考虑事情。10.to be。考查非谓语动词。choose to do sth.选择做,动词不定式作宾语。本单元我们复习的书面表达体裁是 a letter of reply。范文欣赏September 8,2016Dear editor,Im writing back to tell you about the discu

113、uld ever express my thanks for what she has done for me over the years.【语篇导读】本文介绍了作者的母亲对他的爱。作者的母亲一直都是他沮丧或者失败时最坚强的后盾,无论作者做什么事情,母亲都会给予他正面的鼓励与意见。而对母亲的好不仅仅是一些鲜花、糖果或者其他礼物可以回报的。我们都往往无以为报。【答案与解析】44.for。考查固定搭配。根据句意分析可知此处表达的意思是我们中有多少人曾感谢过我们的妈妈为我们所做的一切,句中 thank sb.for sth.是固定搭配,意为感谢某人做某事,故填 for。45.us。考查代词。此处作
114、介词 for 的宾语,应用we 的宾格形式。46.guidance。考查名词。根据句意分析可知此处表达的意思是我现在已经 40 岁了,妈妈的爱给我指导和方向已有很多年了。此处和后面的 direction(方向)是并列的,所以应该使用相同的形式;而 direction 是名词形式,所以此处需要填 guide 的名词形式,故填guidance。47.unconditionally。考查副词。根据句意理解可知此处表达的意思是当我生病时,妈妈总是会无条件的照顾我。此句中的空白部分是修饰句子中的 take care of 这 个 动 作,所 以 应 该 用 副 词 形 式,故 填unconditiona
115、lly。48.When。考查时间状语从句。根据句意可知此处表达的意思是当我毕业的时候,妈妈看着我走上那个舞台很骄傲,很自豪。据分析可知句子中不缺少任何成分,前半句是时间状语从句,通常由 when 来引导;又因为前两句都是由 when 引导的时间状语从句,可推断此句中也要用 when 引导的时间状语从句构成简单排比句,故填 When。49.greatest。考查形容词最高级。根据句意可知,妈妈一直是我最大的支持,在生活想要将我打败的时候支撑着我。故应填最高级形式。50.keeping。考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知此处表达的意思是妈妈一直是我最大的支持,在生活想要将我打败的时候支撑着我。前半句不缺
116、少任何句子成分,后半句中的 keep 的现在分词形式作伴随状语,又因妈妈和 keep 之间是主动关系,故填 keeping。51.a。考查冠词。此处 a 表示泛指。妈妈温柔的手引导我回归正轨。52.has shown。考查现在完成时态。根据句意可知此处表达的意思是一句简单的谢谢远远不能回报妈妈这么多年为我做的事情。现在完成时表达的意思是从过去一直持续的动作对现在所造成的影响,从句意判断妈妈为我做的所有事情都一直影响着我,所以此处应该用 show 的现在完成时态,又因为主语是 she,所以助动词应该用 has,故填 has shown。53.that。考查定语从句。先行词为 a gift,当主句
117、以 There be.结构开头时,关系代词常用 that,故填that。六、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 处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅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:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改 10 处,多者(从第 11 处起)不计分。Dear Sir,Thank you for invite me to the summer English cour

122、have good time this summer.aYours truly,Li Hua 第一处错误:介词 for 后面接动名词。句意:谢谢你邀请我参加你们学校的暑假英语课程。第二处错误:是别人邀请作者去他学校学英语,文章以第一人称叙述,故此处不是我的学校,而是“你的”学校。第三处错误:因为这可以给我更多时间来旅游。because of 后面接名词、代词或动名词,because 后面接从句。第四处错误:可数名词 friends 前用 a few 修饰。第五处错误:在所有的学校科目中我最喜欢英语。all 后面接 subject 的复数形式。第六处错误:根据时间状语 for eleven ye
