32、查词性转换。句意:他预料来的人会比邀请的多,就多买了食物。设空处前后均是介词,此处应该用名词形式,构成介词短语in anticipation of,意为“预计;预料到”,符合题意。3.freezing考查形容词。句意:你应该多穿点衣服。外面冷得不得了。此处作表语,应用freeze的形容词形式freezing,意为“极冷的”。易错分析本题容易误用frozen,忽视此处的语境。此处指“非常冷的天气”,作表语,描述天气情况。frozen“冷冻的”。4.literally考查副词。句意:我从字面上理解他说的话,但他实际上另有所指。所填词修饰动词took,因此应该用副词。.1.Seen from the

35、强调句型“It was+被强调部分+that.”,被强调部分是not until 9:30 a.m.,故设空处应填that。10.their考查代词。设空处作定语,修饰trip,因此应该用形容词性物主代词,故填their。能力提升练.

38、 v.陈列;展示B语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次野外经历,并由此告诉我们成功在于点滴的积累。4.A推理判断题。前文提到:从山顶到山坡和山谷,都是盛开的水仙花。此处是说中间挂着一条紫色的什么瀑布。由此可推断hyacinths应该指的是一种花。故选A项。B项“著名的瀑布”;C项“山泉”;D项“一个地方的名字”。5.D推理判断题。根据第六段中的关键点She changed the world、One bulb at a time、She started almost 40 years ago可知她用了近四十年的时间,每次栽种一根球茎,最终改变了“世界”。由此可知,作者的感触是:成
39、功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。A项“说易行难”;B项“好的开始是成功的一半”;C项“女人可以震撼世界”。6.D主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者在一次野外经历中从一位女士身上受到启发成功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。A项“Barage的神奇之旅”;B项“母爱的动人故事”;C项“回家路上的一个特别标志”。【高频词汇】1.insist v.坚决要求2.unwilling adj.不情愿的3.tower over sb.高于,超过(附近的人)4.approach v.接近,靠近5.get over从中恢复过来;克服6.accomplish v.完成.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了露营游玩的诸多好处,如它既能

41、产品的打扰才能和朋友或家人一起做运动、做饭或交谈,因此此处指的是应该把将电子游戏放在家里作为一种规则。故选B。4.C根据上句“Living outdoors gives you the opportunity to learn some survival skills.”和下文“You may also learn how to protect yourself from mosquitoes and other insects”可知,此处介绍野外生存的技能,下句中的also表示递进关系,所以设空处也是在描述学习到的生存技能。C选项“野营后你可能会设法生火”,符合语境。故选C。5.G根据本段标
42、题以及上文的“When it comes to budget vacations, a camping trip is one of the most economical choices for a family getaway.”可知,本段介绍的是旅游开支。选项G“因此如果你正在寻找一种省钱的旅行,那就出去搭个帐篷吧”,符合语境。故选G。【高频词汇】1.consume vt.消耗,耗尽2.engage in从事;参与3.quality adj.优质的;高质量的 n.质量,品质;特征4.ahead of time提前5.settle into/in安顿下来6.purchase v.购买;获得
