语篇解读：本文是一篇倡议书。水对于生命来说是必不可少的。每年有许多儿童死于由水传播的疾病，如何让整个人类和谐共享优质的水，作者给出了建议并发出了号召。
1．disease(s) disease既可作可数名词也可作不可数名词，故此处应填disease或diseases。
2．especially 此处修饰空后的介词短语，因此应该用副词形式。
3．from 根据固定搭配free sb. from ... “使某人摆脱……”可知，此处应填介词from。
4．carrying 介词后面应该用动名词，所以填carrying。
5．is required 根据整篇文章的时态及still的提示可知，此处应用一般现在时；由于句子的主语与require之间在逻辑上是动宾关系，主语为“a major effort”，所以用一般现在时的被动语态is required。
6．marks 根据本句中的is可知，此处应用一般现在时；由于主语是this year，为单数，因此应填marks。
7．to meet 此处与68空后的不定式是并列关系，都作is的表语，因此此处应填不定式to meet。
8．and 此处应用and连接两个并列的非谓语动词。
9．an 这是人类发展与人类尊严的一件紧迫之事。此处表示泛指“一件”，且urgent的发音以元音音素开头，因此用不定冠词an。
10．survival 世界水资源是我们生存的生命线。介词for后面应用提示词的名词形式作其宾语。

.语法填空
(2016·兰州高三诊断)There is much discussion about the necessity of daily homework for students. Some say homework is necessary since only practice __1__ (make) perfect, while others disagree. In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students. However, this might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework __2__(be) necessary. Actually, only proper amount of homework in proper form is __3__ (accept); some homework may not only fail to help the students, but on __4__ contrary bore them so much __5__ they may lose their interest in studying. “Proper” homework,
in
my opinion, should vary in its forms, __6__ might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercise. And it should leave enough __7__ (free) to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with selfmotivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than __8__ (drive) them. Only if a teacher __9__ (keep) this __10__ his/her mind, the homework could be of
the most help to the students.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。有必要每天都给学生布置家庭作业吗？作者认为适当形式的适量作业对学生是有好处的，但过犹不及。
1．makes 分析句子结构可知，“make”在从句“since only practice ________ (make) perfect”中作谓语，与从句主语practice之间是主动关系，由此结合主句的时态为一般现在时可知，此处填makes。since在本句中意为“因为”。
2．are 分析句子结构可知，所填词是“believe”后宾语从句的谓语动词，结合主句的时态和从句主语“all forms”可知，应填are。
3．acceptable 根据上句和本句句意可知，此处应表示只有适当形式的适量作业才是可以接受的。由空格前的“is”可知，此处应填形容词acceptable。
4．the on the contrary是固定短语，意为“相反，反而”。故填the。
5．that “so ... that ...”为固定句式结构，意为“如此……以至于……”。故填that。
6．which 根据空格前后句意思可知，空格处一方面用来连接两个句子，另一方面用来指代上句话的意思，并在其所引导的句子中作主语，属于关系代词的特征，故填which。
7．freedom 根据空格前的“leave enough”可知，此处应填free的名词形式freedom, enough在此处作形容词。
8．drive 分析句子结构可知，所填词与句中的“to guide”并列，而在“rather than”后常用省略to的不定式。故填drive。
9．keeps 在条件状语从句、时间状语从句和让步状语从句中常用一般现在时代替将来时，因此根据本句句意可知，此处应用一般现在时代替将来时，更多地强调真实性。故填keeps。
10．in keep ... in mind是固定短语，意为“记住……”。故填in。
