二、七选五阅读
(2016•吉林长春质量监测)
A great number of people can get injured or even killed resulting from a human stampede (蜂拥). The bad thing is that a peaceful group of people can quickly turn into a crazy panicked crowd. __1__ If you are in a crowd, the most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and mentally notice the exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out. __2__ If you are in a crowd of moving people, wet or uneven ground can be slippery or dangerous, causing you to fall.
Be aware of the general atmosphere of the event, as panic situations can often be expected. When in danger, a few seconds can make all the difference. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure and do not stand still or sit down. __3__ Take advantage of any space that may open up and try to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.
__4__—It gives you movement and protects your chest.
If you fall, get up quickly. If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving by crawling in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms and curl up (蜷缩). __5__ Sometimes, finding a right posture can save your life.
A. Make yourself aware of the type of ground you are standing on.
B. Do not lie on your stomach or back, as this dangerously exposes your lungs.
C. If you are stepped on, you should shout for help.
D. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd.
E. Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer.
F. Stretch your arms to the full length so that you can make more space to move in the crowd.
G. What's worse is that the stampede can be caused while there seems no actual danger.
答案与解析 语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉我们如何在拥挤的人群中让自己安全，以避免受到伤害。
1．G 根据空前的“The bad thing...”可知，此处说的是一些糟糕的事情，那么接下来就会谈一些更糟糕的事情，故G项符合语境。
2．A 根据空后的“wet or uneven ground can be slippery or dangerous”可知，潮湿或者凹凸不平的地面会使人滑倒，很危险，这与A项在意思上保持一致，即要清楚你所站的地面的情况。
3．D 根据空前的”If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure and do not stand still or sit down.”可知，如果发现自己在移动的人群中间，不要向相反的方向走、站着不动或坐下来，而要随着人群的方向移动，这与D项在意思上保持一致。
4．E 根据空后的“It gives you movement and protects your chest.”可知，E项“把你的手像拳击运动员一样举起来保护你的胸部”符合语境，其中chest是关键词。
5．B 本段讲的是当你摔倒后，如何用适当的方式来保护你的身体，以免受到伤害，故B项符合语境。
三、语法填空
(2016•辽宁五校联考)
My dad is a “Mr. Mom”. He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn't know __1__ he was at home instead of Mom, but I considered myself very lucky because I was __2__ only one who had Dad around among my friends.
Dad did so many things for me __3__ my elementary school years. He __4__ (convince) the school bus driver __5__ (pick) me up at our house instead of the usual bus stop six blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.
As I got a little __6__ (old) and tried to gain my __7__ (depend), I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love. But he __8__ give up. In high school I was no longer able to go home for lunch, so I began taking my own lunch. Dad would get up a little earlier and make it for me.
However, when I left home for college, I missed __9__ (see) my dad every day after school. At that time I called him a lot. It didn't matter __10__ he said, for I just wanted to hear his voice.
答案与解析
语篇解读 作者通过叙述父亲对他从小到大无微不至的关心和照顾表达了对父亲深深的爱。
1．why 考查宾语从句。所填词引导宾语从句，并在从句中作原因状语，因此用why。
2．the 考查冠词。the only one意为“唯一的一个”，the表示特指。
3．during/in 考查介词。根据语境可知，此处表示“在我上小学期间”，故用介词during/in。
4．convinced 考查时态和语态。由语境可知，此处应用一般过去时。且he与convince为主谓关系，故填convinced。
5．to pick 考查固定搭配。convince sb.to do sth.意为“说服某人做某事”。
6．older 考查比较级。此处指年纪从小变大，有两者进行比较的意味，因此用older。
7．independence 考查名词。根据空格前的形容词性物主代词“my”可知，此处应用名词independence。
8．wouldn't 考查情态动词。would在此表示意愿，且此处应用否定式。
9．seeing 考查固定搭配。miss doing sth.意为“没能做某事”。
10．what 考查宾语从句。他说什么没有关系，因为“我”只是想听到他的声音。宾语从句中said缺少宾语，且所填词起双重代词的作用，因此用what。
四、短文改错

Dear_Li_Hua，
This_is_Collins_from_Teens._I'm_sorry_to_hear_from_you_that_you_plan_to_drop_out_and_find_a_job_away_from_your_parents. It is a very dangerous idea for a teenager like you to intend to make a living away from home.
As a high school student, it is natural for us to meet problem in our school life. Both our teachers and parents show their love to us every day in the form of praise, criticisms or even complaints. We should be aware of it and grateful to it.
In my opinion, the most important duty for you today is to learn knowledge and learn how to deal with different difficulties at home and at school. To face the unknown world is our next step after graduation.
I hope my idea will be useful to you.
Yours_sincerely，
Collins
