　　【参考答案及解析】

　　1．terrified　[这里应用terrify的过去分词形式作定语，修饰boy。terrified“害怕的”。]

　　2．An　[an elegantly dressed nobleman“一个穿着优雅的贵族”。]

　　3．as　[as作介词的时候有“以……的身份”的意思。此处表示“介绍他自己是被救男孩的父亲”。]

　　4．my　[名词前应用形容词修饰。上文提到这个贵族是获救的小男孩的父亲，所以要用形容词性物主代词my。]

　　5．waving　[考查现在分词作伴随状语的用法。wave off意为“谢绝，拒绝”，表主动，用waving。]

　　6．proudly　[需用副词修饰动词，故把形容词proud变成副词proudly。]

　　7．If　[if引导条件状语从句，表示“如果”。]

　　8．from　[graduate from...是固定搭配，意为“从……毕业”。]

　　9．went　[and连接的两个谓语动词时态应保持一致，前面用的是graduated，则此处应用went。]

　　10．with　[be stricken with意为“患上(病)”，固定短语。]

　　阅读理解【1】

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Find Which Direction Is South

　　Do you have a good sense of direction?If not,please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass,you can still find your way.

　　It’s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted(委托)with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly confused look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time,you can still find out where south is,but you’ll need to be patient.

　　①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.

　　②Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line(铅锤线) with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string?OK,use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.

　　③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.

　　④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.

　　⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.

　　⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow,which is east at midday,when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.

　　⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.

　　⑧That point is south of where you are.

　　⑨Now you can turn the map,like you did before,and find which way you should be travelling.

　　1. To find the direction,we ought to be patient probably because　.　

　　A. it is not easy to find a proper stick

　　B. it is not easy to position the stick

　　C. it takes hours to make the marks

　　D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks

　　2. The passage would probably be most helpful to　.　

　　A. those who draw maps

　　B. those who get lost

　　C. those who make compasses

　　D. those who do experiments

　　3. Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?

　　4. The author presents this passage by　.　

　　A. telling an interesting story

　　B. describing an activity in a lively way

　　C. testing an idea by reasoning

　　D. introducing a practical method

　　短文改错

　　Students today should do more reading. Indeed, the importance

　　of reading can never be too stressed. First of all, reading, especial 1．

　　out-of-class reading, enrich our mind and broadens our horizons.

　　．

　　Through read, we learn what cannot be learnt in our classrooms. ．

　　Besides, reading is also a way of relaxation. This is very refreshing

　　．

　　to read a story before going to bed, or after a day of the study. ．

　　There were many famous sayings about reading, like “Reading

　　．

　　is to the mind that exercise is to the body”. Then how can we ．

　　develop the habit of reading? In the first place, I believe we need begin 8．

　　from an early age, and then stick on it and never give up. Secondly, we

　　．

　　should read what we are interested and also what is proper for us.．

　　．especial→especially 考查副词的用法。此处表强调用副词形式。

　　．enrich→enriches考查主谓一致。因为reading作主语，故谓语动词用单数形式。

　　．read→reading考查动名词的用法。此处through是介词，其后用动名词。

　　．This→It考查代词的用法。此处it是形式主语，不定式短语to read a story before going to bed是真正的主语。

　　5．去掉the 考查冠词的用法。此处study是抽象名词。

　　．were→are 考查动词时态。根据文意用一般现在时。

　　．that→what考查固定句型。解题关键：掌握A is to B what C is to D句型。

　　8．need后加to考查need的用法。此处need是实意动词，其后接不定式作宾语。

　　．on→to 考查动词短语。解题关键：掌握短语stick to “坚持”。

　　．interested后加in考查固定短语的用法。解题关键：掌握短语be interested in； what作in的宾语。
