语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了两个孩子在一个寒冷的夜晚帮助了一个陌生的同龄人，最后他们的善举得到了美好的回报的故事。
1．curiously 考查词性转换。根据句意“其中一个孩子好奇地跑过去开门”可知，空格处修饰动词ran，故应填所给词的副词形式curiously。
2．with 考查介词。分析题干及句子结构可知，本题考查的是with的复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾补”。故空格处填with，表示“他的脚上没穿鞋”。
3．so/and 考查连词。句意：他冷得发抖，(所以)请求能进屋暖和一下。分析句子结构及空格前后句子的句意可知，此处需要并列连词连接两个独立的句子。故空格处填so/and。
4．shared 考查动词的时态。空格后的“and gave”是解题关键，由此可知，“drew”“gave”和空格处是并列的谓语动词，表示一系列先后发生的动作。故空格处填shared。
5．were awoken 考查动词的时态和语态。根据句意及空格后的“by sweet music”可知，需用动词awake的被动语态，结合语境可知，要用过去时态。又因为主语是they，故空格处填were awoken。
6．which 考查定语从句。结合语境可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，故使用关系代词which作引导词，指代先行词sweet music。故空格处填which。
7．them 考查人称代词。句意：突然间那个陌生的孩子站在他们面前……根据句意及空格前的of可知，题干考查人称代词的宾格形式。故空格处填them。
8．wandering 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，非谓语动词在句中作伴随状语，且与其逻辑主语“I”之间为主动关系，应用其现在分词形式。故空格处填wandering。
9．happiness 考查词性转换。分析句子结构及空格前“peace and”可知，空格处与peace为并列关系，应用happy的名词形式。故空格处填happiness。
10．a 考查冠词。branch在此处意为“树枝，枝”，是可数名词；根据句意可知，此处泛指“一根树枝”，应用不定冠词。故空格处填a。

Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·济南3月模拟)Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when __1__ (choose) where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonalds has struggled financially.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了全球知名快餐品牌麦当劳的业绩大不如前而美国著名汉堡连锁品牌Shake Shack悄然走红的现象并分析了原因。1．choosing 考查非谓语动词。句意：观察者们说，当选择去哪里吃，吃什么的时候，美国人想要更多的选择和新鲜的食物。分析句子结构可知，choose与其逻辑主语Americans之间构成主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故填choosing。
2．restaurants 考查名词复数。“one of＋名词复数”是固定结构，意为“……之一”。故填restaurants。
3．but 考查并列连词。句意：麦当劳是美国乃至全世界最著名的餐厅之一，但是，近来公司领导者们却看到了一些他们可能不会喜欢的数字。两个句子之间为转折关系，故用but。
4．eighth 考查序数词。由空格前的定冠词the可知，此处应用所给词的序数词形式。the eighth month意为“第八个月”，符合语境。故填eighth。
5．working 考查动词的时态。句意：麦当劳正努力地想把顾客吸引回来。由“助动词be＋现在分词”构成现在进行时，表示现阶段正在进行的动作。故填working。
6．to reach 考查不定式作宾语。want to do sth.意为“想要做某事”，为固定搭配。故填to reach。
7．a 考查冠词。a new kind of意为“一种新的……”。因为上文没有提到Shake Shack这种新式餐馆，此处是第一次提到，故用不定冠词a表示泛指。
8．As/While/When 考查从属连词。句意：正当麦当劳努力地挽回顾客时，Shake Shack的收益状况却很好。前一分句中的struggling和后一分句中的“doing well”均为延续性动作，因此，引导时间状语从句“McDonalds is struggling ...back”的从属连词可以填As/While/When。
9．successful 考查词性转换。IPO是Initial Public Offerings的缩写，指公司的股票首次公开上市，作为专有名词使用，因此此处应用success的形容词形式修饰IPO。故填successful。
10．On 考查介词。表示在具体的某一天应用介词on。
Ⅱ.短文改错

Dear Mr. Smith，
I’ve read your advertisement for an assistant teacher for a children’s summer camp. I am quite interested in this position. I am outgoing, energetic, wellorganized and responsible; and most importantly, I love working with children! In the past two years, as a monitor in my class, I have proved myself to be an excellent helper to my teachers. I speak English fluently, which enables me to help native English speakers communicate freely and effectively with students in an Englishonly environment.
I will soon have a long summer vacation, so I have no problem working evenings and weekends. I can start my work next week. I would be pleased to assist both the teachers and students in this challenging and rewarding environment.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
