102、合众国际社)中国国家航天局宣布，周六，中国的一辆火星车首次在火星表面着陆。【41题详解】考查固定搭配。句意：5月15日(合众国际社)中国国家航天局宣布，周六，中国的一辆火星车首次在火星表面着陆。for the first time意为“第一次”，为固定搭配。所以应用定冠词the。故填the。【42题详解】考查形容词。句意：5月15日(合众国际社)中国国家航天局宣布，周六，中国的一辆月球车首次在火星表面着陆。修饰名词Administration应用形容词，形容词national意为“国家的”，根据“Space Administration”可知，首字母应大写。故填National。【43题详解】
103、考查介词。句意：7月23日，“天问一号”探测器从海南省发射升空，于今年2月进入火星轨道。根据“July 23”可知，此处是指在具体某一天，应用介词on。故填on。【44题详解】考查定语从句。句意：这辆火星车“祝融”以中国火神命名，于周六上午登陆火星。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为rover，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。【45题详解】考查不定式。句意：中国是继美国之后第二个在火星表面发射探测器的国家。当名词被序数词修饰时，应用不定式作后置定语。故填to place。【46题详解】考查现在分词。句意：火星车通过进入舱从轨道飞行器中降落，通过降落伞降落，然后丢弃外层护罩，并
104、使用减速火箭着陆。动词lower意为“降落”，和谓语动词之间没有连词，且和主语rover构成主动关系，所以应用现在分词作状语。故填lowering。【47题详解】考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：中国国家航天局火星探测与空间计划中心的耿雁表示，火星车的下降耗时约9分钟，是自动完成的。根据“the rovers descent took about 9 minutes”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词perform意为“完成”，和主语the rovers descent构成被动关系。且主语为第三人称单数。故填was performed。【48题详解】考查副词。句意：每一步都只有一次机会，而且这些行动
105、是紧密相连的。修饰动词linked应用副词。故填closely。【49题详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果有任何缺陷，着陆就会失败。根据“If there had been any flaw”可知，此处是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，所以主句中应用would have done。过去的事实是着陆成功了，所以虚拟语气应为“着陆就会失败”。故填would have failed。50题详解】考查名词复数。句意：探测器将花三个月的时间在火星上寻找水和冰的迹象。根据“water and ice”可知，此处是指很多迹象，sign为可数名词，应用复数形式。故填signs。第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节

I have learned a good lesson from an experience: The flu is not a big deal, although if we dont take good care of ourselves, we may take a turn for the worse.【答案】第一处： result后面加of第二处： advicesadvice 第三处： hopedhoping第四处： worstworse第五处： EverybodyNobody第六处： givegave第七处： gradualgra
109、dually第八处：去掉have 第九处： anthe第十处： althoughbut【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者从自己生病的经历中学到了一个很好的教训:流感不是什么大问题，但如果我们不好好照顾自己，我们可能会变得更糟。【详解】第一处：考查固定用法。句意：由于最近连续下雨，我得了流感。 as a result结果，as a result of由于，这里表示“由于最近连续下雨”，应用as a result of。所以result后面加of。第二处：考查名词。句意：我没有听从家人的建议，仍然去上学，希望流感会自己消失。advice是不可数名词，没有复数形式，所以advices改
110、成advice。 第三处：考查非谓语动词。句意：我没有听从家人的建议，仍然去上学，希望流感会自己消失。分析句子结构，“hoped that the flu would disappear itself.”应是分词作状语，“希望”与其逻辑主语“我”之间是主动关系，用现在分词，所以hoped改成hoping。第四处：考查固定短语。句意：然而，我的情况似乎越来越糟。bad to worse每况愈下，是固定短语，所以worst改成worse。第五处：考查代词。句意：没有人愿意靠近我。根据上文“I had a runny nose all the time.”（我一直流鼻涕）结合生活常识可知，没有人愿意
111、靠近我，怕被传染，所以Everybody改成Nobody。第六处：考查时态。句意：护士给我打了一针。描述发生在过去事情，用一般过去时，所以give改成gave。第七处：考查副词。句意：我定期吃药，渐渐地我感觉好多了。修饰“I felt better”这个句子，用副词，所以gradual改成gradually。第八处：考查时态。句意：我从这次经历中学到了一个很好的教训:流感不是什么大问题，但如果我们不好好照顾自己，我们可能会变得更糟。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以去掉have。 第九处：考查冠词。句意：我从这次经历中学到了一个很好的教训:流感不是什么大问题，但如果我们不好好照顾自己，我
112、们可能会变得更糟。 特指“这次经历” ，用定冠词，所以an改成the。第十处：考查连词。句意：我从这次经历中学到了一个很好的教训:流感不是什么大问题，但如果我们不好好照顾自己，我们可能会变得更糟。 “流感不是什么大问题”和“如果我们不好好照顾自己，我们可能会变得更糟”是转折关系，用but连接前后分句，所以although改成but。第二节 书面表达（满分25分）52. 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Mike说他们学校最近在开展一项有关外国文化的活动，他希望你能给他介绍一项中国的传统手工艺（handicraft），以便于他在活动上介绍，请就此给Mike写一封邮件。内容如下：1. 很高兴帮忙；2. 介
