Ⅱ.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.
1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
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 考查动词的时态。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 考查主谓一致。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 考查词性转换。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 考查固定短语。on the contrary是固定短语，意为“相反，反而”。故填the。
5．that 考查句式结构。“so ... that ...”为固定句式结构，意为“如此……以至于……”。故填that。
6．which 考查定语从句。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 考查词性转换。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 考查非谓语动词。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 考查动词的时态。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 考查介词。keep ... in mind是固定短语，意为“记住……”。故填in。

Clayton Dube is the head of the U．S.China Institute at the University of Southern California. He praises Zuckerberg's effort and thinks more American CEOs should learn foreign __4__ (language)．

Zuckerberg's talk raises a larger question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English __7__ the world's international language? Chinese already has the most native speakers of any language. And, China may soon pass the United States as the world's __8__ (large) economy.
The study of __9__ Chinese language is increasing in the United States and around the world. In 2009, about 60,000

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过Facebook创始人用汉语与中国学生对话并得到南加州大学美中学院院长的赞扬这件事情，提出了一个问题：汉语是否会成为未来的世界性语言？
1．recently 根据句意可知，Facebook创始人Mark Zuckerberg最近用汉语同中国学生对话，这让他们大吃一惊。句中需要用recent的副词形式修饰动词surprised。故填recently。
2．them speak to sb.“同某人说话”，为固定短语。根据语境可知，此处应使用代词指代Chinese students，且为复数概念。故填them。
3．Although/Though 根据句意可知，尽管Mark Zuckerberg的汉语说得远不够完美，但是师生们还是为他的努力而感到高兴。两个分句之间是让步关系，故填Although/Though。
4．languages 根据语境可知，Clayton Dube表扬Mark Zuckerberg的努力，他认为更多的美国CEO应该学习外语。此处的“外语”是复数含义。故填languages。
5．means 根据句中动词“begin”和“do”的时态可判断，此处应用一般现在时。不定式“To speak Chinese”作主语，谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填means。
6．organized 根据句意可知，此处指学习汉语可以让人开始理解说汉语的人怎样组织这个世界。have sth. done“让……被做”，为习惯用法。故填organized。
7．as 根据句意可知，此处指汉语能否代替英语成为国际性语言。replace ... as ...“替代……成为……”，为固定用法。故填as。
8．largest 根据句意可知，中国可能不久就会超越美国成为世界上最大的经济体。故填形容词最高级形式largest。
9．the 名词language前有Chinese修饰时，需要使用定冠词the，特指汉语这种语言。故填the。
