(2016·成都外国语3月模拟)My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought __1__.

Love, the Room Fairy.” __8__ arriving back, the children were __9__ excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy __10__ for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and __11__ asking them to play a certain violin __12__. Each day, thankyou notes would be written differently to keep the ideas __13__.
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little __14__： “If you can finish your homework and __15__ your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in __16__ of well done jobs the day __17__.

We all benefited from and __20__ the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者每次抱怨孩子们不打扫房间时，他们都是充耳不闻，于是作者采用房屋精灵留便条提醒孩子的方法，收效很大。本文旨在提醒人们：有时候换一种方法解决问题会更好。
1．A.indifferently
B．gratefully
C．doubtfully
D．otherwise
解析：选D otherwise意为“另外，别样；否则，要不然”，在此处与空格前的“thought”构成搭配，think otherwise意为“并非如此想，并不这么认为”，符合语境。故选D。
2．A.side
B．deaf
C．neither
D．either
解析：选B 由空格后的前两句内容可知，在把孩子们责备了一番之后，孩子们只会大哭，并不会改变坏习惯，这让作者有挫败感 。由此可推知，孩子对作者的抱怨充耳不闻。deaf ears意为“充耳不闻”，符合语境。故选B。
3．A.crying
B．breaking
C．bursting
D．bumping

15．A.go with
B．look up
C．go over
D．look into
解析：选C go over lessons意为“复习功课”，与上文“finish your homework”相照应。故选C。
16．A.response

1．projects 考查名词的数。本句话中有“three”，因此应用project的复数形式。
2．needed 考查动词的时态。此处陈述的是发生在过去的事，应用一般过去时。
3．across 考查固定搭配。come across表示“偶然遇见”。
4．who 考查定语从句。此句为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“an old family friend Dan”，指人，且在定语从句中作主语，因此只能用who。

Dear friends，
Water is essential for life. Yet millions of people around the world face water shortages. Millions of children die every year from waterborne __1__ (disease). And drought regularly causes suffering in some of the worlds poorest countries. The world needs to respond much better. We need to increase water efficiency, __2__ (especial) in agriculture. We need to free women and girls __3__ the daily chores of __4__ (carry) water, often over great distances. We must involve them in decisionmaking on water management. We need to make sanitation a priority. This is where progress is lagging (落后) most. And we must show that water resources need not be a source of conflict. Instead, they can be a catalyst (催化剂) for cooperation. Significant gains have been made. But still a major effort __5__ (require). That is why this year __6__ (mark) the beginning of the “Water for Life Decade”. Our goal is __7__ (meet) the internationally agreed targets for water and sanitation by 2015, __8__ to build the foundation for further progress in the years beyond.
This is __9__ urgent matter of human development, and human dignity. Together, we can provide safe, clean water to all the world’s people. The world’s water resources are our lifeline for __10__ (survive), and for continuous improvement in the 21st century. Together, we must manage them better.

语篇解读：水对于生命来说是必不可少的。每年有许多儿童死于由水传播的疾病，如何让整个人类和谐共享优质的水，作者给出了建议并发出了号召。1．disease(s) 考查名词的数。disease既可作可数名词也可作不可数名词，故此处应填disease或diseases。
2．especially 考查词性转换。此处修饰空后的介词短语，因此应该用副词形式。
3．from 考查介词。根据固定搭配free sb. from ... “使某人摆脱……”可知，此处应填介词from。
4．carrying 考查非谓语动词。介词后面应该用动名词，所以填carrying。
5．is required 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。根据整篇文章的时态及still的提示可知，此处应用一般现在时；由于句子的主语与require之间在逻辑上是动宾关系，主语为“a major effort”，所以用一般现在时的被动语态is required。
6．marks 考查时态及主谓一致。根据本句中的is可知，此处应用一般现在时；由于主语是this year，为单数，因此应填marks。
7．to meet 考查非谓语动词。此处与68空后的不定式是并列关系，都作is的表语，因此此处应填不定式to meet。
8．and 考查连词。此处应用and连接两个并列的非谓语动词。
9．an 考查冠词。这是人类发展与人类尊严的一件紧迫之事。此处表示泛指“一件”，且urgent的发音以元音音素开头，因此用不定冠词an。
10．survival 考查词性转换。世界水资源是我们生存的生命线。介词for后面应用提示词的名词形式作其宾语。
