All of the private high schools insist that you should wear their school uniforms, __3__ that might mean __4__ (wear) a school tie and a school jacket.

The school classes generally start anywhere __6__ 8：30 and 9 o’clock in the morning and run __7__ 3：30 in the afternoon, and they __8__(follow) by afterschool activities like sports and music and theater. The school year generally starts in the beginning of February, after our summer vacation, __9__ lasts about six weeks around the Christmas period.
The only thing I don?t like about our school system is the idea of the difference in quality of education between the private and the public schools. It remains __10__ (see) whether you can get a better education, even if you are in a private high school. Most of our public high schools are quite good.

1．whether 考查连词。句意：澳大利亚的学校体制取决于你去的是私立学校还是公立学校。whether ... or ...意为“是……还是……”，符合语境。故填whether。
2．mixed 考查动词的语态。句意：公立高中通常是(男女)混合的。schools与mix之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且空格前已有be动词are。故填mix的过去分词mixed。

4．wearing 考查非谓语动词。mean doing表示“意味着做”；mean to do表示“打算做”。根据语境可知，此处表示“意味着”的含义。故填wearing。
5．choice 考查词性转换。冠词后面常常接名词，且此处指公立高中常常会给你一个选择。故填choose的名词形式choice。
6．between 考查介词。此处表示在8：30和9：00之间的某个时间点。between ... and ...为固定搭配，意为“在……与……之间”，符合语境。故填between。

(限时：45分钟)
Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·大庆高三第二次质检)As an old English saying goes，“Honesty is the best policy.” It is more than an old cliché (陈词滥调), but __1__ good way to live your life.
First, honesty is the __2__ (easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.
Second, honesty gives us much __3__ (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people __4__ (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we are __5__ (true) free.
If there were two people __6__ (stand) before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person __7__ is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely __8__ (believe)? I’m sure most people would side with the honest person. __9__ we live in the truth or we live in lies. The truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing but more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is __10__ (you). What will you choose?

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。论述了“诚实是上策”这一观点。

3．freedom 考查名词。根据 give somebody something 的结构可知，此处应填 free 的名词形式 freedom。
4．will pay 考查时态。 sooner or later “迟早”，根据其意思可知，该空应用一般将来时。
5．truly 考查词性转换。修饰形容词应用副词，因此此处应该填 true 的副词形式。
6．standing 考查非谓语动词。此空在“If there were two people”后，说明要用非谓语动词； people 与 stand 之间为主谓关系，因此用现在分词 standing。
7．who/that 考查定语从句。先行词为“person”，因此应该用关系代词 who 或 that 引导定语从句。
8．to believe 考查非谓语动词。 be likely to do 为固定搭配。
9．Either 考查连词。根据固定结构 either ... or ...“要么……要么……”可知，此处应填Either。
10．yours 考查代词。此处用名词性物主代词 yours 作表语，指代“your choice”。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·南昌市高三一模)Trying to come to decision completely of your own can be risky. Some decisions are so important that they should not be made without talking to the others first. There are several advantages of consulting people you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuable advice but they may point out some things you may have overlooked. For another, friends may stop you from making big mistakes. When consult others about important decisions, you should keep two things in mind. The first one is figuring out whom we respect enough to trust their judge. The second thing to consider is what
to do if you disagree to this person. Maybe getting a third or fourth opinion was the best option. In short, making any big decision lonely can lead to some problems. Talking to friends or family members first is always a good idea.
答案：第一句：come to后加a; of→on
第二句：去掉the
第四句：but→and
第六句：consult→consulting
第七句：we→you; judge→judgment/judgement
第八句：第二个to→with
第九句：was→is
第十句：lonely→alone

参考范文：
Dear Sir/Madam，
I’m Li Hua, a senior high school student from China and I’ll graduate in June. I have been dreaming of being a student in Cambridge University, and I plan to major in Education.
I’m wondering what the admission requirements for international applicants are.I’ll have learned English for six years upon graduation, but I need to know what kinds of tests of the English language are required for applicants. I scored well in TOEFL one year ago, but is that enough?
What’s more, would you please tell me what materials I should
submit? Besides, when do you begin to accept applications and what is the deadline for them?
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
