Ⅱ.语法填空
(2016·山东日照市校际联合检测)A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing __1__ (have) a close knock on Oct. 22.

Smartphone __9__ (addicted) has spread like an infectious disease. It?s evident that it will do great harm to society. What?s even __10__ (bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends.

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
语篇解读：如今手机上瘾现象非常严重，对人们的生活有着很大的危害。文章告诉我们是我们的自控力和自我约束力差导致了这种现象，而并非手机本身的问题。1．had 根据时间状语“on Oct. 22”可知，此处是在描述发生在过去的事情，故用一般过去时。
2．absorbed be absorbed in“专心致志于，全神贯注于”，是固定短语。
3．throwing 根据语境可知，此处表示“火车与他擦身而过，把他摔在了地上”，train和throw之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。
4．as serve as“起作用，产生效果”，此处表示“这应该给人们起一个警告作用”。
5．when/while 根据语境可知，此处表示“尤其是当过马路的时候”，故用when或while，此处是“主语＋系动词”的省略。可还原为：especially when/while they are crossing roads。
6．Luckily 幸运的是，这个男子与死亡擦肩而过，但是这个事件迫使驾驶员停下了火车。在句首应该用lucky的副词形式，即Luckily修饰整个句子。
7．to stop force sb. to do sth.“迫使某人做某事”，为固定结构。
8．which 因为这件事耽搁了18分钟，导致这条路线上其他火车的运行中断了。此处用which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的“An 18minute delay”。
9．addiction 分析句子成分可知，此处作主语，意为“手机上瘾”，故用addicted的名词形式addiction，意为“上瘾”，addict作为名词时，意为“对……着迷的人”，此处不符合语境。
10．worse whats even worse“甚至更糟糕的是”，even 修饰比较级，故用worse。
练(二) 第Ⅱ卷强化增分·组块专练——练规范
(限时：45分钟)
Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·河北省唐山市统一考试)Many people travel during the holiday season but do not make sure that their houses and homes __1__ (protect). Crime goes up __2__ (rapid) during the winter and summer holiday seasons. Here are some things that you should keep in mind when you go on a holiday.

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
语篇解读：本文介绍了外出度假时防贼入室的几种方法。
1．are protected 根据空格前的“travel”和“do not”可知，此处应使用一般现在时；因从句谓语动词protect与主语“their houses and homes”构成动宾关系，所以使用被动语态。
2．rapidly 此处为副词作状语，修饰动词短语“goes up”。
3．strangers 此处为give后的直接宾语，因此应用名词，又因此处应为泛指意义，故应用复数名词，所以填strangers。
4．cleaned 此处为have的复合结构，因为clean与the snow构成动宾关系，所以用过去分词作宾补。
5．his/her 因指代前文中的someone，并在此处作car的定语，所以填入形容词性物主代词his或her。
6．Having 此处是用动名词短语“Having a pile of newspapers and other mail on your doorsteps”作主语。
7．or 此处表示选择关系，因此填并列连词or。
8．that/which 此处为定语从句，修饰先行词a timer，因关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，所以可填that或which。
9．off 根据语境及空前的“on and”可知，此处用off，表示关灯。
10．keep 定语从句的先行词为sensitive lights，且定语从句中谓语动词的数应和先行词一致，应用keep。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·山西大学附中第五次模拟)One year ago, I was in great trouble. I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to practise it. But I failed to pass the midterm examination, which made me great disappointed. So I asked my grandpa for advice when I got to home. Hearing that I told him, he said, “To some extent, examination results are sometime unexpected by your study level. You can’t judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged myself to work hard for long time to check my results. I took my grandpa’s advice. Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is much better as before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen to opinion from old people.
答案：第二句：devote→devoted; practise→practising
第三句：great→greatly
第四句：去掉to
第五句：that→what; sometime→sometimes
第六句：myself→me; for后加a
第八句：as→than
第九句：opinion→opinions

参考范文：
Dear Mr. Smith，
Recently, our class had a heated discussion about the keys to success. Here are the results.
35% of the classmates hold the view that luck, talent and the environment play an important role in the keys to success. However, the majority argue that to succeed in life, we first need to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. In addition, we must make every effort to study hard. To my surprise, 10% of the classmates haven’t expressed their opinion.
I wonder if you would like to speak out your opinion about it. Your early reply would be highly appreciated.
Yours truly，
Li Hua
