四、阅读理解
(2017安徽,D)
In Asia,there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure(结构),they are widely different in size and shape.Kite-fighting competitions are also held,in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(对手)kites or cut their strings(线).
For more than 15 years,the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite-making lessons,students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes!Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙).Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.
The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.
Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work,and can give hours of fun.Go on,give it a try!

一、单句填空
1.equal 句意:虽然健康是从事体育运动的重要条件,而技能至少也是同等重要的。 考查形容词作定语的用法。该句的正常语序为“...but skills are of at least importance”。equal importance表示“同等重要”。
2.before 句意:人们担心交战的两个国家达成和解仍需要很多年的时间。句型 it will be+一段时间+before...意为“过……(时间)才……”。
3.why 句意:我喜欢乡村音乐的原因是它给我带来了平静与快乐。考查定语从句。The reason why...is that...意为“……的原因是……”。
4.up 句意:一旦把毒药吐出,就不会有更大危险。考查动词短语。bring up“吐出;养育”。
5.to 句意:这篇文章可能会冲击一些敏感的读者,我提前对他们表示歉意。考查定语从句。把定语从句补充完整为:I offer my apologies to the readers in advance。offer sth.to sb.,故此处用to。
6.must 句意:——你猜怎么着?我的学期论文得了A。——太好了!你一定是阅读很广泛并且付出了很多的努力。根据语境可知此处表达对过去情况的肯定猜测,应用must have done结构。
7.have won 句意:——杰克为这场比赛做了很长时间的准备,我们都认为他本来能够获胜的。——太遗憾了!比赛的时候他太紧张了。此处表达:过去本来能够做到某事,但是却没有成功,要用could have done结构。
8.might 句意:——汤姆在哪儿?到处找不到他。——我不确定他在哪儿,但他或许去见露西了,因为她之前给他打电话了。根据语境可知此处表达说话者对过去发生情况的一种可能性较小的猜测,要用might。
9.roughly 句意:我对确切的人数把握不准,但是粗略地说,大约有100位客人。考查副词。roughly speaking粗略地说。
10.out 句意:我们显示出彼此最好的一面,我们相互信任。我们不断挑战自我来做到最好。考查动词短语。bring out the best in sb.把某人最好的一面显示出来。
二、语法填空
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者夫妇所遇到的最诚实的修理屋顶的工人的故事。
1.the most honest 考查形容词最高级的用法。根据下文的 “...my husband and I have ever met”可知,该空应为最高级形式。

3.told 考查动词时态。根据上文的 “He called last night...but...”可知,此处应用一般过去时态。
4.incorrectly 考查词形转换。根据下文的 “by forgetting to add on the front part of the roof”可知,这位修理屋顶的工人估算错了修理费用,且是修饰动词measured,所以用副词incorrectly。
5.But 考查连词的用法。分析上下文可知,前后为转折关系。
6.was going 考查动词时态。此处表示按计划将会做某事,故用was going to do sth.结构。
7.have been 考查时态。根据下文的 “He said $3,000.”可知,“我”的丈夫问他正确的估价本来应是多少,这是对过去所发生事情的推断,故用would have been结构。
8.what 考查连接词。分析句子可知,此处为what引导的表语从句。
9.amazed 考查形容词的用法。因为是说明主语“my husband”的心理状态,所以用amazed。
10.mistakes 考查名词单复数的用法。因为有some修饰,所以用mistake的复数形式。
