67、单复数。本句的谓语动词是show,说明主语是复数名词studies。42regularly 考查副词。副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词,形容词通常在句中作定语或表语修饰名词。所以本句中使用副词regularly作状语修饰动词短语take short breaks。43a考查固定短语。介词短语for a while一会。44to bring 考查固定短语。be likely to do sth.可能做某事。45make 考查祈使句。本句是祈使句,要用动词原形。【解题策略】在语法填空中,我们要特别注意词性转换题。如37小题,横线前面有介词of,横线上要使用名词achievement作of的宾语
68、。如37小题,英语副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词,形容词通常在句中作定语或表语修饰名词。所以本句中使用副词regularly作状语修饰动词take short breaks。词类转换题要先确定所要填的单词在句中的成分。技巧1:作表语、定语或补语,通常用形容词形式。技巧2:作主语,或在及物动词或介词后作宾语,用名词形式。技巧3:修饰动词、形容词、副词,或整个句子,作状语,用副词形式。技巧4:括号中所给词为动词时,也不一定是考查动词的时态语态或非谓语动词, 有可能考查词类转换;若是形容词或副词,有可能考查其比较级或最高级。技巧5:词义转换题。词类不一定要变,主要是考查具有与词根意义相反的派生
69、词,需根据句子意思及前后逻辑关系,在词根前加un, im,il, ir,in, non, dis等,在词根后加less等。.应用文写作(满分15分)假如你叫李华,你的笔友Mike写信向你打听中国高中校园学习和生活情况。请你用英文给他写一封回信。内容包括:1学习情况;2课外活动;3未来的期望。注意:1词数80左右,内容包括主要要点;2可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。Dear Mike,How is everything going?
