　　二、七选五阅读

　　(2016·河南洛阳统考)

　　A study of English learning problems was carried out among 106 foreign students. __1__ This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were expected to hand in.__2__

　　The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it is important to note what seemed to encourage interest. __3__ To use the same method would be selfdefeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it failed in the past. __4__

　　A variety of activities were also seen as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout. __5__ This led up to a major rethink, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.

　　A. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem.

　　B. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammarbased English teaching.

　　C. However, we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest halfway.

　　D. Therefore, a different method may help because it is different.

　　E. English learning problems should be studied again.

　　F. Teaching content should be changed halfway.

　　G. Reading remained as a significant problem.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　本文就外国学生学习英语所存在的一些问题进行了说明，同时也谈到了如何更有效地改善英语教学。

　　1．A　根据空后的“This was followed by speaking.”及Writing可知，首先是“听”的问题，也就是“理解英语口语”的问题，然后是“说”的问题，故A项符合语境。

　　2．G　空前谈到了在英语学习上的“听、说、写”的问题，还没有谈到“读”的问题，语言的学习会涉及“听、说、读、写”四个方面的问题。故G项“读仍然是一个重要的问题”符合语境。

　　3．B　根据空后的“To use the same method would be selfdefeating”可知，用同样的方法会弄巧成拙，再结合文章的意思可知，这种方法指的是B项中的“grammarbased English teaching”(以语法为主的英语教学)。

　　4．D　根据上文意思可以判断出，空处是总结前面的内容，故D项“因此，一种与众不同的方法因其不同可能会有帮助”符合语境。

　　5．C　根据空后的“This led up to a major rethink”可判断出，这让我们反思，显然前面的方法在使用上出现了一些问题，故C项“然而，我们很快发现在学习中途老师和学生都失去了兴趣”符合语境。

　　三、语法填空

　　(2016·河南洛阳期中)

　　There was once a king who liked music __1__ much that he searched the world for the __2__ (good) instrument. One day, a wizard(巫师)offered the king a harp(竖琴)．

　　The king took __3__ to the palace, but __4__ he started playing it, the harp was out of tune. Many other __5__ (music) tried it, and they agreed that the harp was useless and that the king had been cheated. The harp was thrown out as rubbish.

　　A poor little girl later found the harp. Even though she didn't know how to play, she __6__ (decide)to have a try. She played and played, the whole day through, for months and years, always with the harp out of tune, but playing better and better.

　　Then one day, __7__ (sudden), the harp started to play the most beautiful tunes. It was __8__ magic harp, and could only be played well by someone willing to put in the necessary interest and effort.

　　The king heard the music from his window, and summoned(传唤) the girl to the palace. When the king saw the harpplaying, he was __9__ (fill) with joy. At that moment he made the girl his own private musician, __10__ (give) her and her family many riches.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　成功需要兴趣和必要的努力。

　　1．so　考查固定句式。so...that...表示“如此……以至于……”，是固定句式，so修饰形容词/副词，that引导结果状语从句。

　　2．best　考查形容词的最高级。根据语境可知，此处强调的是最好的乐器，故填good的最高级形式best。

　　3．it　考查代词。所填词特指上文中提到的那把竖琴，应用it。

　　4．when　考查连词。当他开始演奏的时候，竖琴却走调了。start为非延续性动词，所以用when(当……时)引导时间状语从句。

　　5．musicians　考查词类转换。此处指音乐家，且不止一位，故应用名词复数musicians。

　　6．decided　考查语态和时态。she与decide为主谓关系，且所填词表示过去的动作，故填decided。

　　7．suddenly　考查副词。suddenly表示“突然”，作状语。

　　8．a　考查冠词。所填词表示“一把”，harp是可数名词，magic以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。

　　9．filled　考查固定词组。be filled with表示“充满”，是固定词组。

　　10．giving　考查非谓语动词。give与he之间为主谓关系，所填词作伴随状语，故填giving。

　　四、短文改错

　　Dear_Sir/Madam，

　　I'm Li Hua, a senior high school student from China and I'll graduate in June. I have been dreaming of being a student in Cambridge University, and I plan to major in Education.

　　I'm wondering what the admission requirements for international applicants are. I'll have learned English for six years upon graduation, but I need to know what kinds of tests of the English language are required for applicants. I scored well in TOEFL one year ago, but is that enough?

　　What's more, would you please tell me what materials I should submit? Besides, when do you begin to accept applications and what is the deadline for them?

　　Looking_forward_to_your_reply!

　　Yours_sincerely，

　　Li_Hua
