He said, “I am chairing the meeting this Saturday. We will have your party on Sunday.”
Saturday evening I sat on my bed, __8__ (feel) sorry for myself. Dad started to leave, then paused and said, “Why not come together with me tonight? It's an open meeting. All are welcome.” __9__ would I do at a meeting? But maybe I needed to see why something Dad did every week mattered so much.
After we arrived, Dad announced the theme of the meeting was going to be gratitude. He told his story about giving up smoking. Later, a man called Dave also told his story. Only then did I know it was Dad __10__ saved his life from drinking. Showing up week after week and meeting with people, Dad was changing lives. Shame washed over me.
答案与解析
语篇解读 作者一开始不理解为什么爸爸每周都准时去参加集会,甚至自己生日的时候都不例外。和爸爸一起参加集会后,作者明白了爸爸参加集会的意义。
1.older 考查比较级。根据后面的than可知,此处应填比较级older。
2.foolish 考查词类转换。此处用fool的形容词形式作不定代词something的定语。
3.had stopped 考查时态和语态。“戒酒”这一动作发生在“说”这个动作之前,故用过去完成时,且此处表示主动关系,故填had stopped。
4.but 考查连词。我爱父亲,但我讨厌他每周都离开我去参加集会。根据语境可知,空处所填词连接并列分句,并表示转折关系,故填but。
5.from 考查固定搭配。take sb. away from...意为“带某人离开……”。
6.exception 考查词类转换。根据空前的an可知,此处应填except的名词形式exception(例外)。
7.was refused 考查时态和语态。我祈求爸爸留下来陪我过生日,但是“被拒绝”了。此处谓语动词应用一般过去时,主语为I,故填was refused。
8.feeling 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应填一个非谓语动词,I与feel为主谓关系,故用feel的现在分词形式作伴随状语。
9.What 考查特殊疑问词。在会议上我能做“什么”呢?故此处填What。
10.that/who 考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知,此处考查强调句型,强调的是主语“Dad”,故填that/who来构成强调句型的基本框架。
四、阅读理解
(2015·湖南卷)
Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians Are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
■ Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade 避让 them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.,—Michael Horan■ I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists Viewpoints, May 29. I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.,The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent 发荧光的 jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.—Carol Harvey
■ Cyclists jump on and off pavements which are meant for pedestrians, ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.,I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?It's about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.—JML,Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.

五、短文改错
(2016·山东日照联合检测)
I used to feel I was the sun in my family. But while my cousin was born, everyone pays more attention to her. So I disliked her and couldn't get along well with her. As time went on, I realized what ridiculous I had been at that time. I tried to find a proper time to apologize. When my cousin's family came to my home a few day ago, I took my cousin to play outside.
In the way to the playground, I had bought many snacks for her. Then we began to chat. When we talked about their childhood, suddenly, I said “sorry” gentle. She was silently, so I thought that she hadn't heard me clearly. But after while she said, “Don't say that. In my memory, you are always friendly.”
