　　2．to kill　have got a lot of time to kill中to kill作状语。3．because　考查名词。此处表原因，故用because。

　　4．playing　介词of后应用v­ing，所以填playing。

　　5．an　考查冠词。take an interest in...对……感兴趣。

　　6．experts　考查名词。此处指专家(experts)。

　　7．interested　考查形容词。be interested in 对……感兴趣。

　　8．boring　此处boring作find的宾语补足语。

　　10．must/may　考查情态动词。

　　广东省语法填空阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。A London-based translation firm is offering parents-to-be the chance to check the meaning of prospective baby names in other languages to avoid causing their offspring future __1__ (embarrass)．

　　Celebrity couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes might have thought twice about naming __2__ daughter Suri if they __3__(know) that it means “pickpocket” in Japanese, “turn sour” in French, and “horse mackerel” in Italian, suggests Today Translations.

　　__4__1000 pounds ( $ 1 678 ), the company’ s linguists will carry out a “basic name translation audit” of names，__5__(check) their meaning in 100 languages, or more for an additional cost.

　　__8__ musicians Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale may have known Zuma meant “peace” in Arabic when __9__(choose) their son’ s name, they may not have been aware it also translates as “Lord frowns in anger” in the Aztec language of Nahuatl.

　　However, some unusual name choices of celebrities’ babies are beyond easy translation, the company admits，__10__ as Jermajesty — the name of Michael Jackson’ s brother Jermaine’s son.

　　1． [解析]　考查词性转换。空格前为形容词修饰语，而且此处是cause sb.sth.的结构，因此断定此处需要填名词，embarrass的名词形式为embarrassment。

　　[答案]　embarrassment

　　2． [解析]　结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。名词前设空答案首先考虑限定词，因为上文提到“Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes”，所以用their，意为“他们的女儿”。此处表示“名人夫妇Tom Cruise和Katie Holmes要是知道Suri这个名字在其他语言里的意义的话，他们也许会三思后再起名字了”。

　　[答案]　their

　　3． [解析]　结合语境考查动词的时态。由上文“might have thought”可知，条件句中应用“had＋过去分词”。

　　[答案]　had known

　　4． [解析]　结合语境考查介词。此处for表示交换，此处表示公司给你提供名字方面的调查服务是要收取一定的服务费的。

　　[答案]　For

　　5． [解析]　结合语境考查现在分词作伴随状语。文章中的“__5__(check)their meaning in 100 languages”作伴随状语；设空处的动词与主句的主语是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用check的现在分词形式。

　　[答案]　checking

　　6． [解析]　结合语境考查代词的用法。空格位于宾语从句的谓语动词之前，因此此处需要能作主语的名词或代词。上文刚出现过the firm，所以此处用it来代替它。

　　[答案]　it

　　7． [解析]　考查which引导的非限制性定语从句。此处which引导的定语从句是修饰Kai Rooney这个名字的，which在定语从句中作主语。

　　[答案]　which

　　8． [解析]　结合语境考查连词。此处意为“尽管音乐家Gwen Stefani和Gavin Rossdale也许知道Zuma在阿拉伯语中的意思是和平，但是他们也许不知道……”。前后两个分句之间有逻辑上的让步关系，故此处应填While/Although/Though。

　　[答案]　While/Although/Though

　　9． [解析]　结合语境考查“连词＋分词”型省略句。连词后设空且给出动词提示词，这时要首先考虑动词和句子主语的关系，若是主谓关系就用现在分词，此处主语和choose之间就是主谓关系。

　　[答案]　choosing

　　10．[解析]　结合语境考查such as的用法。此处such as用于列举事物。句意：然而有些名人的孩子的名字不好翻译，例如乔丹的弟弟的儿子的名字Jermajesty就不好翻译。

　　[答案]　such

　　I once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him fascinating. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own ---and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.

　　As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.

　　Midnight came, I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist.”

　　An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing: I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested.

　　And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings ,” wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love,“can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise.”

　　I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I had. I told him I wished I had his knowledge.I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What’s more, it was all true.

　　And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had been merely a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.

　　26. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that the writer________.

　　A. was deeply moved by the botanist’s talk

　　B. was amazed by what he was hearing

　　C. was not in a comfortable situation

　　D. behaved politely and properly

　　27. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?

　　A. Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.

　　B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.

　　C. Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.

　　D. Giving attention to all those in attendance.

　　28. The underlined expression “rapt attention” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_______.

　　A. full understanding

　　B. strong interest

　　C. great uncertainty

　　D. little curiosity

　　29. According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist?

　　A. Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.

　　B. Encouraging he other side by sharing his/her own opinions.

　　C. Promising a future meeting for more communication.

　　D. Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.

　　30. What is the purpose of the passage?

　　A. To prove the writer is an interesting conversationalist.

　　B. To share an interesting experience at a dinner party.

　　C. To explain what makes a good conversationalist.

　　D. To show that botanists can be really talkative.

　　【广东省广州市2017综合测试】

　　A dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter（推特，流行社交网络）. Computer expert Nat Morris, 30, has designed a system to give his pet a “tweet treat” by sending him a Twitter message.

　　His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@feedtoby”.

　　Nat often works away from home and isn’t always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention

　　allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.

　　Nat said, “Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn’t know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the treats to drop.”

　　Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home.

　　But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the “Tweet treat” machine that. they have starting to send tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn’t turn into Tubby。

　　“People have been sending him food at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.. I’m thinking of doing an updated one which measures his weight before he is fed, just to make sure he’s not putting on too much puppy fat,” explained Nat.

　　How Nat’s Twitter Feeder Works:

　　When a message is sent to @feedtoby it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine.

　　When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next the machine’s motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.

　　The doggy biscuits then drops into Toby's food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter - so he knows Toby has been fed.

　　31. Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he __________.

　　A. wants his friends to feed Tody

　　B. has very strong computing skills

　　C. is often too busy to feed his dog

　　D. doesn’t like to feed Tody by hand

　　32. Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine’s opening time?

　　A. He doesn’t want Toby to get too fat.

　　B. He fears the machine will run out of food.

　　C. He wants hid friends to stop feeding Toby.

　　D. He doesn’t want Toby to be woken up at night.

　　33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby _______.

　　A. sits beneath his feeder all day long

　　B. is now used to being fed by machine

　　C. doesn’t know what happens to the feeder

　　D. no longer receives tweets from Nat’s friends

　　34. Which of the following shows the correct order of how the Twitter Feeder works?

　　a. The bell goes off.

　　b. A message is sent to @feedtoby.

　　c. The mini-computer gets the message.

　　d. The digital camera takes a photo of Toby and sends it to Nat.

　　e. The motor starts to work and opens the door to release dog food.

　　A. a, b, c, e, d

　　B. b, c, e, a, d

　　C. b, c, a, e, d

　　D. c, b, a, d, e

　　35. In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?

　　A. Technology
