22、was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published with the help of her female friends.

45、ite a bit of effort on a daily basis”可知,学习一门语言的唯一方法就是每天都付出相当大的努力;第三段结尾“The more time that you spend during the day speaking your second language, the better at it youre going to be”可知,一天中花在说第二语言上的时间越多,你的外语水平就会越好,又一次强调了努力练习的重要性;最后一段开头“Learning from multiple people is also a good way”可知,向多人学习是学习语言的一个好

101、d10.itthem【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和他母亲在回家的路上碰到一只流浪猫,本来想收留。最后却被另外一个好心人收留的故事。【详解】1.考查固定搭配。句意:昨天下午我妈妈开车送我回家的时候,我看见小猫站在路中间。分析句意,in the middle of译为“在中间”此处是固定搭配。故将on改为in。2.考查不可数名词。句意:它看起来很饿,它也处在极大的危险中,因为有许多小汽车,公共汽车和卡车在路上行驶。danger译为“危险”时,为不可数名词,无需在其后加s。故将dangers改为danger。3.考查形容词。句意:我感到非常难过,我问妈妈我是否可以带它走。分析句意,
102、felt为感官动词后接形容词。故将sadly改为sad.4.考查名词性从句连接词。句意:我感到非常难过,我问妈妈我是否可以带它走。分析句意,宾语从句部分不缺成分但缺“是否”之意。故将that改为whether / if。5.考查固定短语。句意:尽管她害怕猫很脏,但她还是同意了。分析句意,be afraid of后接名词或者doing sth.不可接从句,而be afraid that后可接从句。故 of多余应去掉。故将of去掉。6.考查主谓一致。句意:然而,当我下车时,那可怜的小动物已经不在了。分析句子,此处的主语为单数形式,故be动词也应用单数形式。故将were改为was。7.考查被动语态。
103、句意:我听说它已经被一个热心人带回家了。分析句子,此处的逻辑主语为猫。主语和动词之间应表示被动。所以此处需用过去完成时的被动语态。故在had和taken加been。8.考查冠词。句意:我听说它已经被一个热心人带回家了。分析句子,此处的“热心人”是第一次提及,故无需特指,泛指即可。且warm以辅音因素开头。故将the改为a.9.考查时态。句意:我如释重负地松了口气。分析句子,文章讲述的是“昨天下午回家的路上”所发生的事,整体时态是过去时。故将breathe改为breathed.10.考查代词。句意:动物是我们的好朋友,我们应该关心它们。分析句子,句末的代词指代前面的Animals, 此处的动物表
104、示复数,所以代词也应用复数形式。故将it改为them。第二节 书面表达(满分25分)52. 假定你是李华,为了提高英语阅读能力,想寻求美国朋友Peter的帮助请你给他发一封电子邮件,内容包括:1. 介绍你最近学习英语的情况;2. 请求他给些建议并推荐英文杂志;3. 表达谢意。注意:1. 词数100左右;2. 可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。_【答案】Dear Peter,How are you doing?Recently, I have much interest in English.
