　　3. 考查谓语动词时态及语态

　　“一般过式时”是近几年语法填空谓语动词考查的重点。此外，还考查了“过去进行时”以及表虚拟语气的“had done结构”。

　　[例1] The sun was setting when my car

　　16

　　(find) that he had run out of salt. (2016年广东省高考)

　　解析：found。宾语从句中的had run out of salt为过去完成时，所以主句应为一般过去时。故此处填found。

　　4. 考查形容词或副词的比较级

　　近几年来，出现了对单音节形容词或副词比较级的考查。

　　[例1] The teacher replied, “You tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of kindness and love. Nothing could be

　　39

　　3. was rescued。根据前面的was可知，rescue，climber为rescue这一动作的承受者，was rescued。

　　4. had had。根据句子意思可知，have这一动作发生在sold之前，故使用过去完成时。

　　12. advertised。the other day意为“前几天”，故此处为一般过去时。

　　13. easier。much可修饰形容词的比较级，再根据句意可知，此处应填easy的比较级形式easier。

　　14. nicer。根据后面的than可知，此处应填形容词的比较级形式。

　　15. better。根据句子意思可知，此处是指“一个更好的建议”，故填better。

　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　The other day at a supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack(打)on his bottom would have done the job, I thought.

　　Teenagers also cause discipline (纪律)problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel, she turned round and said, “Why don’t you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”

　　My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping the gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. Later I heard that she had run away from home again.

　　The list goes on and on. Could it be that today’s parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result?　Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older?　I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents’ duty to discipline the children even at a young age.

　　My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined.　Their friends abroad were idled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged with child abuse. However, my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.

　　1. According to the passage, the author would probably ______.　

　　A. beat the children every day

　　B. treat the children in a softer way

　　C. leave the children as they are

　　D. punish the children when necessary

　　2. The underlined word “cajole”( in Para. 3 )probably means ______.　

　　A. persuadeB. scoldC. forgiveD. punish

　　3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The naughty boy’s mother hit him.

　　B. The teacher’s daughter lived with her mother.

　　C. The daughter was thankful for the author’s strict discipline.

　　D. The author was charged with child abuse by the daughter’s friends abroad.

　　4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

　　A. Spoil KidsB. Value Discipline

　　C. Respect Parents D. Protect Kids

　　阅读理解

　　During the fall months at high school guidance counseling programs, juniors run to the stage to participate in an exercise to help them understand that it is not “where you go” that matters. They hold posters with the names and faces of famous people while their peers (同龄人) and parents shout out with confidence the names of elite (精英) colleges they assume the celebrities attended. The “oohs” and “aahs” follow when they learn that Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college, that Oprah Winfrey is a graduate of Tennessee State and that Ken Burns graduated from Hampshire College. If even a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.

　　Even better is giving the students a task to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challenging them to go and ask “if or where they went to college” as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.

　　The key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend. A long-term study of 6,335 college graduates published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that graduating from a college where entering students have higher SAT scores -- one marker of elite colleges --- didn’t pay off in higher post-graduation income. Researchers found that students who applied to several elite schools but didn’t attend them --- either because of rejection or by their own choice --- are more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools.

　　In a summary of the findings, the bureau says that “evidently, students’ motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a much stronger effect on their future success than average academic ability of their classmates.”

　　The late author Loren Pope, who wroteLooking Beyond the Ivy League andColleges That Change Lives, noted that the greater the opportunity for engagement and critical, creative and cooperative learning with staff, peers and community, the more likely the chance for future success.　

　　59. The purpose of the guidance counseling programs is to help students _________.

　　A. apply for suitable colleges

　　B. learn about college life

　　C. choose the most famous colleges

　　D. know about famous graduates

　　60. Ken Burns’ example shows that the successful people _________.

　　A. don’t need support from their friends　

　　B. have their own circle of family

　　C. don’t necessarily graduate from a famous college

　　D. graduate from a famous college

　　61. What contributes most to students’ success in college and after graduation is _________.

　　A. whether they enter the elite college or not

　　B. whether they have spared no effort in college or not

　　C. whether they possess a higher SAT scores or not

　　D. whether they have famous schoolmates or not

　　62. According to Loren Pope, future success depends more on _________.

　　A. staff, peers and community

　　B. motivation, ambition and desire to succeed

　　C. average academic ability of the classmates

　　D. creation, cooperation and opportunity
