Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·甘肃省第一次诊断考试)One hot summer day, I bought a small boat when my family spent vacation__1__(enjoy) the beaches of beautiful Gulf shores. Both of my daughters played all day in the boat.

But the boat with my elder daughter in it was gradually moving far out from the shore. I called to her to come__3__(close) to the shore and she seemed to be frightened. All she could do was to __4__(paddle) hard to one side and the boat was just making small circles.
I stood as far out in the water, shouting__5__(instruct) to her.__6__(fortunate), some teenagers on a boat not far from her__7__(notice) what was happening and started to head her way immediately.
I'm not a good swimmer__8__I determined to have a try. I continued swimming until I no longer knew or could feel that I had legs, but
I always kept my eyes on her. Helped by the teenagers, I finally made my way back pulling her and calming her.

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者带着两个女儿到海边度假，不料大女儿乘坐的小船偏离海岸太远了，她有些害怕。作者虽然不擅长游泳，但还是坚决地游向女儿并最终成功把她带回了岸边。作者从这次经历中认识到，尽管有时我们并不足够强壮，但是我们还是要相信自己，勇于去尝试。
1．enjoying spend time (in) doing sth.为固定结构，意为“花时间做某事”，所以此处应填enjoy的现在分词形式，即enjoying。
2．tired get后面常接动词的过去分词形式作表语，表示“变得……”，所以此处应填 tired。
3．closer 根据语境可知，作者应该是让大女儿把船划得离海岸近些，所以此处应用 close 的比较级形式，即 closer。
4．paddle 在动词不定式符号to后应用动词原形，且 paddle和句子主语“she”之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处应填 paddle。
5．instructions shout意为“大声说出，喊”，是及物动词，所以其后应接名词作宾语，故此处应用instruct的名词形式instruction；又因instruction表示“指令，指示”的含义时是可数名词，由此结合语境可知，此处应填名词复数instructions。
6．Fortunately 空格处应用副词修饰整个句子“some teenagers ...immediately”，所以此处应填 fortunate 的副词形式。
7．noticed 根据上下文语境可知，文章讲述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故此处应填notice的过去式，即noticed。
8．but 根据空格前后的语境可知，作者并不擅长游泳，但还是决定要游到女儿身边去帮助她。空格前后之间为转折关系，故此处应填but。
9．from learn from为固定短语，意为“从……中学到”，符合语境。故此处填from。
10．ourselves 根据语境可知，作者认为，尽管有时我们并不足够强壮，但我们还是要相信自己，勇于去尝试。句子主语为“we”，故此处应填反身代词ourselves。
Ⅱ.短文改错

参考范文：
Dear Mr Green，
I am very happy to hear that you will give a lecture on western culture. Knowing that you're asking for advice on my favorite topics related to it, I would like to share what I am interested in most.
As we all know, western culture is quite different, especially the history of religion. Therefore, I wonder if you could tell us something about it to enrich our knowledge. What's more, how to
follow western table manners is also a good topic because some of us are going to study abroad after graduation. It is the proper behavior at meals
that can help us to get along well with foreigners.
I am looking forward to your excellent lecture and I am willing to help if you want more information.
Yours，
Li Hua
