A.a; theB.the; the

答案 D
2. (2011·河北石家庄质检二)I had________supper at my friend’s last Sunday and________food was so delicious.
A. a; theB.不填;不填
C.不填;theD. the;不填
解析 考查冠词的用法。第一空一般在三餐前不用冠词;第二空特指“上个星期日在朋友家吃的食物”,故用定冠词the。

—If you make________most of the modern equipment, there will be________rise in production.

C.不填; aD.the; 不填
解析 考查冠词的用法。语境:——你提出关于提高我们公司业务管理的建议好吗?——如果你们充分利用现代设备,产品将会有一个提升。第一空考查短语make the most of意为:充分利用;第二空抽象名词具体化,a rise指“一次提升”。
答案 B

—Cool! It was really________great fun! Pity you weren’t there.
A.a; aB.the; a
C.the; 不填
D.a; 不填
解析 主要考查冠词的用法。第一个用the表特指双方都知道的party,而fun是不可数名词,所以前不要冠词,故正确答案为C。
答案 C
5. (2011·北京西城区高三抽样检测)________panda is one of________remaining endangered animals in the world.
A. The;
theB. A; a
C. The; a
D. 不填; the
解析 主要考查冠词的用法。第一个the表特指,是熊猫这类动物而区别于其他动物。第二个the特指是因为后面有后置定语修饰。
答案 A
6. The most important thing about cotton in history is________part that it played in________Industrial Revolution.
A. /,/
B. the,/
C. the , the
D. a ,the
解析 本题考查冠词。题中“Industrial Revolution”是专有名词,因此要加定冠词。题中又特指了“cotton”发挥的作用,也要用定冠词。
答案 C

A. a; 不填
B. a; the

1)……倍数/百分比+形容词或者副词比较级+than...
2)……倍数/百分比+the+名词(size/width/weight/height/length/etc)+of...
3)……倍数/百分比+as+形容词或者副词as+...
4)倍数/百分比+可数名词复数+...

答案 D
12. I like this jacket better than that one, but it costs almost three times________.
A. as much
B. as many
C. so much
D. so many
解析 本题考查的是倍数表达法。表示“A是B的多少倍”可以用“A+谓语动词+倍数+as+形容词原级+(as+B)”的结构来表示,如上文已经提到A是与B相比较,也就是说上文已经提到了与A相比较的对象,那么两者在比较时可以将第二个as和比较对象B省略掉。例如:This room is a little larger than that one,but it is four times as expensive。本句的意思是:我更喜欢这件上衣而不喜欢那件,但这件上衣的价钱几乎是那件的三倍。另外,表示“A是B的多少倍”还可以用以下两种结构来表示1)A+谓语动词+倍数+形容词的比较级+than+B。2)A+谓语动词+倍数+名词+of+B。
答案 A
13.—Can I help you, madam?
—I’d like to buy________eggs.
A.
scores of
B. two scores of
C. two dozens of
D. three scores of
解析 考查数量词score和dozen的用法。两个词前有具体数字时,通常不用复数形式。复数形式常与of连用。故选A。
答案 A
14.—I think 20 dollars for it is OK.
—No, I’d gladly pay________for it.
A. twice as much
B. three times of what
C. the price twice
D. as much three times
解析 考查倍数的用法。倍数在比较级或原级之前。
答案 A
15. I’ve told him________.
A. a hundred time
B. hundred times
C. hundred of times
D. hundreds of times
解析 考查数词的用法。hundred单数要与a或具体数字使用;复数常与of连用。故选D。
答案 D

读书之法,在循序而渐进,熟读而精思
.完形填空
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
I left baseball not for physical reasons but because it was my season for change. So I decided to walk away and __1__ I did, like the vast majority of players, I was __2__.It would be the first time since I learned to swing a bat that I would spend an entire summer __3__ ever putting on a uniform.
For me, the moment was hard completely without the guiding wisdom of my father, who could __4__ with me with just a nod of his head. He passed away two years ago.
Since my __5__,I have been searching for the next passion. It is a(n) __6__ journey, and many players never find their next love.
Of course my father could never be replaced. He was a doctor,__7__ his passion was writing. He left behind a body of poetry that __8__ me now. Outside of the original collection of poetry I have, he left behind two books he published on his own.
I didn’t stay lost forever.I __9__ something that I wasn’t looking for:a voice through writing. Only later did I understand that this would be a(n)__10__ to understanding my father in another way, one that __11__ me to connect a passion I didn’t realize we both __12__.
Writing __13__ me to people who were __14__ strangers and made them guests at my table. Words are in fact a dynamic I’m reminded of when I call upon my father __15__ his poetry. In this way, my father stays with me.
After my first book was published, a college teacher I met at my friend’s home told me that it was a perfect example of opinion piece.I had already known that for me writing was a passion and __16__ a therapy, but now I also thought that it was __17__ that I’d found my next profession.
Thankfully,I always __18__ my father was proud of me. I have no doubt that he would be even prouder of __19__ I am doing with my words that I can __20__ for my son to read one day.
直到后来我才意识到,写作是我用另一种方式去理解父亲的一座桥梁。
1.A.since
B.though
C.once
D.if
解析 考查连词辨析。once“一旦”。一旦我离开了运动场,像很多运动员一样,我迷失了。其他三项不符合语境。
答案 C
2.A.separated
B.lost
C.puzzled
D.satisfied
解析 考查形容词辨析。be lost“迷失(自我)”。separated“分居的”;puzzled“困惑的,迷惑不解的”;satisfied“满足的”。下文“I didn’t stay lost forever”也是答案暗示。
答案 B
3.A.instead of
B.without
C.but for
D.despite
解析 考查介词辨析。without“没有”。自从我学习棒球以来,这将会是我第一次不穿运动装度过整个夏天。instead of“代替”;but for “要不是”;despite“尽管”。
答案 B
4.A.communicate
B.play
C.contact
D.agree
解析 考查动词(短语)辨析。空后的a nod of his head是一种交流方法,暗示答案为A项。communicate with sb.“与某人交流”。play with“与……一起玩,玩弄”;contact with“与……有联系”;agree with表达的含义是同意或赞同(某人的观点),不符合这一语境。
答案 A
5.A.graduation
B.retirement
C.unemployment
D.marriage
解析 考查名词辨析。由文章首句可知此处为退出棒球行业,因此选B, retirement此处的含义为(运动员)退役。其他三项graduation“毕业”;unemployment“失业”;marriage“结婚”,均不符合语境。
答案 B
6.A.tough B.different
C.exciting
D.dangerous
解析 考查形容词辨析。a tough journey“一次艰难的旅程”。这是一次艰难的旅程,很多运动员都找不到下一个兴趣。
答案 A
7.A.and
B.so
C.but
D.even though
解析 考查连词辨析。父亲是一位医生,但是他爱好写作。前后是转折关系,所以用but。
答案 C
8.A.interests
B.guides
C.confuses
D.shocks
解析 考查动词辨析。由下文可知,父亲留下的很多诗作给我提供了指导。guide“指导,指引”。
答案 B
9.A.found
B.understood
C.desired
D.recognized
解析 考查动词辨析。我找到了我一直没有寻找的东西——通过写作来表达自我。下文的looking for(寻找)也是对应的提示。
答案 A
10.A.way
B.bridge
C.key
D.opportunity
解析 考查名词辨析。直到后来我才明白写作是我用另一种方式理解父亲的纽带。bridge是全文的关键字,表示“桥梁,纽带”,符合语境。a way to do sth.或a way of doing sth.表示“做某事的方法”,a key to(doing)sth.意为“做某事的关键”,不符合语境。
答案 B
11.A.led
B.drove
C.required
D.pushed
解析 考查动词辨析。lead sb.to do sth.“导致/引导某人做某事”。
答案 A
12.A.depended
B.expected
C.shared
D.appreciated
解析 考查动词辨析。share这里表示“有同样的爱好”,符合语境。
答案 C
13.A.recommended
B.introduced
C.applied
D.adapted
解析 考查动词辨析。introduce sb.to“把……介绍(给)”。写作把我介绍给原本陌生的人,并且使他们成为了我的读者。
答案 B
14.A.certainly
B.probably
C.obviously
D.otherwise
解析 考查副词辨析。otherwise“要不然,否则”。
答案 D
15.A.in
B.through
C.beyond
D.between
解析 考查介词辨析。through 表示“凭借,以”。当我借助诗回想父亲时,文字实际上起到了提醒作用。
答案 B
16.A.even B.still
C.already
D.actually
解析 考查副词辨析。even表示递进关系,意为“甚至”。
答案 A
17.A.possibly
B.probably
C.certainly
D.likely
解析 考查形容词辨析。本句使用了It is likely that...句型,表示“很可能……”。在这一结构中应用形容词作表语,而其他选项皆为副词,所以选D项。
答案 D
18.A.knew
B.realized
C.hoped
D.admitted
解析 考查动词辨析。语意:幸运的是,我一直了解父亲因为我而感到自豪。
答案 A
19.A.what
B.how
C.who
D.which
解析 考查连接词辨析。连接词what引导的从句作介词of的宾语,并且what充当所引导的从句中to的宾语。
答案 A
20.A.ask
B.persuade
C.leave
D.write
解析 考查动词辨析。leave sth.(for sb.)“把……留给(某人)”。这里是that引导的定语从句,先行词是my words(我的文字)。本句传达的信息是“能够把作品留给儿子阅读”,照应“父亲把他的作品留给我”,而非“能够写作品给儿子阅读”,所以不能选write。
答案 C
.书面表达
作为一名学生,你肯定经历过多次考试,体验过成功,也遭遇过失败。请你根据提示内容,简要概括学生中普遍存在的对考试失败的两种态度,并结合自身实际,说明你的观点。
消极态度 积极态度
当考试结果不尽如人意时,情绪低落,丧失信心,不再继续努力。 当考试失败时,鼓励自己,分析考试失败的原因。
注意:1.题目自拟;
2.词数:100左右。

Failure Is the Mother of Success
We middle school students have had many tests or exams.We have achieved success and suffered from failure.As for failure,different students take different attitudes towards failure.
Some are in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams.They usually lose heart and no longer study as hard as before.But most students take an active attitude towards failure.They encourage themselves to be selfconfident,trying to find out and analyze the causes so that they will not make similar mistakes again in future.
I agree with those with active attitudes.As we all know,failure is the mother of success.Even great people have failed many times before they succeed.So we must deal with our failure correctly.

A. the 1940s, the 40s
B. the 1940s, his forties

D. the 1940’s, his 40s

答案 B
8. He went to the market and bought________eggs and some meat.
A. three dozen of B. three dozen
C. three dozens
D. three dozens of
解析 dozen与数词或多或少several, many连用时,复数不加s。dozens of表示数量很多,在修饰有these,the等词限定的名词时,可用dozen of的形式。如:three dozen of these eggs。
答案 B
