　　Yao Yunchun, a 24-year-old author who frequently shops online in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has never been so impatient for her parcels as she is now. She has been counting every day while she waits for the products she ordered to arrive, as many deliveries have been delayed over the past month. “It took more than a week for one of my parcels to arrive from Beijing while, in the past, it took only four days,” said Yao.

　　She is just one of the many who like shopping on Taobao. com, the country’s largest online shopping site, which has posted apologetic announcements to customers for the delays in deliveries. “Many parcels are still at the airport and cannot be delivered on time, but I think I will do my best.” Taobao clothes retailer (零售商) iM Shop said on its website. Meanwhile, major express delivery companies in China have put up notices saying they are ready to cope with the delay in recent days.

　　“It was mainly caused by a big increase in online shopping orders because of discounts offered by e-commerce companies,” said Chen Shousong, an analyst with domestic research company Analysys International.

　　Taobao Mall, the country’s largest business-to-customer shopping site by market share, for example, rolled out a large-scale discount on November 11 in which 150 brands sold their products at half price. The discount attracted the attention of many e-shopping enthusiasts who spent 936 million yuan ($142 million) in just one day. The recent shortage of diesel oil, which restricts delivery vehicles’ capacity, and bad weather conditions in North China, also added to an already overloaded express delivery market.

　　Bottlenecks in delivery often appear before long holidays, such as the coming Christmas and New Year holidays and the Chinese traditional Spring Festival holiday. Delivery employees often quit their jobs at that time when faced with lots of work and low pay.

　　1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A. Waiting for the postman impatiently.

　　B. Shopping on Taobao.com conveniently.

　　C. Arguing with retailers online heatedly.

　　D. Suffering from large-scale discounts.

　　2. Why were many deliveries delayed last month?

　　A. The airport didn’t perform their duty properly.

　　B. Some customers didn’t pay enough money.

　　C. Sales volume in online shopping goes up rapidly.

　　D. Delivery companies are short of vehicles.

　　3. What do you think of the Taobao retailers?

　　A. They lack good faith and service.

　　B. They are proudhearted and irresponsible.

　　C. They are warmhearted and apologetic.

　　D. They should improve their work greatly.

　　4. The underlined word “enthusiasts” has the same meaning with 　.

　　A. retailers B. customers C. provider D. netbug

　　5. What would be continued with the passage?

　　A. To attract more new delivery employees.

　　B. To call off the holiday for Spring Festival.

　　C. To stop online shopping before holidays.

　　D. To build E-commerce companies’ own delivery teams.

　　A child’s visit to the dentist can be scary; especially if it is their first time. Let’s face it, this can even scare an adult, too. In order to make it a good experience for the child, there are some things that can prepare them for that visit to the dental office.

　　Children should usually start going to the dentist around age three to have their teeth examined and make sure there are no cavities (龋齿). Before they start going, you may want them to come with you to your dental appointments so that they can see that you are not afraid of having someone look at your teeth with sharp objects. This way, they will know the office personnel and, of course, the dental specialist. The dental professional will be able to explain what is done during the exam by checking their teeth and cleaning them. This should help the child settle down before their actual scheduled appointment.

　　As a parent, you can talk about your positive experiences at the dental office and letting them know how important it is to keep your teeth healthy so that you can have a big beautiful smile. There are also books and even DVDs available to prepare them for the big day as well. Most books will show what to expect during their exam which may include what the dentist will do. This can be a great way to calm their nerves so that they are not so stressed and worried about going to their exam. Just remember, keep talking about the subject while keeping it a very positive thing.

　　With doing some of these things, it should be a positive experience for your child. Take the time to prepare them and even the night before the appointment, make sure they get a good night’s rest and a nutritious meal beforehand so that they are not moody before the visit to help make it a little easier for everyone.

　　二、 解题方法

　　完成句子的题干分别由英语句子、汉语句子和句末括号里的英语单词三部分组成。解题时，关键是要能迅速提取和组合好这三部分信息。具体有如下几个步骤：

　　1. 信息对照，适当筛选。对照英汉两个句子，参照汉语提示句和句末英语提示词，确定英语句子中的缺省信息和其最基本语言元素(词、短语或句型结构)，切忌添加或遗漏信息。

　　2. 分析结构，确定考点。仔细分析句子，弄清句子结构，确定考点。

　　3. 发散思维，完成句子。从词法、句法和语法等方面来扩充和修改最初的考点元素，完成句子。

　　4. 查漏补缺，检查完善。从词法、句法、语法、意义、情境和书写等方面对所填写的内容进行审视，确保句子完整、正确和得体。.

　　根据以上四个解题步骤，下面来对2017年湖北高考的完成句子试题进行分析：

　　71. Knowing ______________________ reduces the risks of failure and it works like an insurance policy for your own ability. (do)

　　知道你正在干什么，能降低失败的风险，这就像给自己的能力买了份保险。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“你正在干什么”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为what, you, do。分析句子结构，可知此处作动词know的宾语，所以要用陈述句序；根据汉语提示“在”的意义可知，这里要用进行时态；而整句话描述的是一般情况，故应用现在进行时。所以答案应为what you are doing｣ｬ也可用the thing(s) which/that代替what。

　　72. Not __________________ my parents, I failed to go to a drama school, where my interest lay. (persuade)

　　由于没有说服我父母，我没能上戏剧学校，而那才是我的兴趣所在。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“说服”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为persuade。分析句子结构，可知此处作原因状语，应该用分词形式；再根据汉英两句的整体意义推断，“没有说服”发生在“failed”动作之前，故应用分词的完成式；又因为句子主语I和persuade之间是逻辑主动关系。所以答案应为having persuaded。

　　73. The chief engineer together with his colleagues ____________________ new scientific methods of farming since five years ago. (look)

　　五年以来，总工程师和他的同事们一起一直在寻找新的科学农耕方法。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“一直在寻找”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为look for。根据时间状语since five years ago，可以确定此处应用现在完成进行时或现在完成时；又根据英语语法规则，“A (together)with B+谓语动词”结构中，谓语动词的数跟A保持一致，本句A (the chief engineer) 为单数，所以答案应为has been looking for /has looked for。

　　74. When I work on the farmland in the daytime, I always __________________ to a tree on the riverbank. (keep)

　　白天干农活的时候，我总是把羊拴在河边的树上。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“把羊拴”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为tie the sheep to。分析句意及句末英语提示词keep可知，这里是“使羊被拴”的意义，故应该是keep the/my sheep tied；再根据work，always等信息可确定此处应为一般现在时态。所以答案应为keep the/my sheep tied。

　　75. As time is pressing, I think ______________________ is the best way to get from here to the conference centre. (take)

　　由于时间紧迫，我认为从这里去会议中心最好的办法是乘出租车。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“乘出租车”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为take a taxi。分析句子结构可知，空缺部分作主语，所以应用动词的-ing形式或不定式。所以答案应为taking/to take a taxi。

　　76. So fast __________________ that we can hardly imagine its speed. (travel)

　　光传播的速度快到我们难以想象。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“光传播”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为light travel；再根据句首的So fast可知，此句要用倒装形式，so在句首引起部分倒装，需要加助动词do，基本元素扩展为do light travel；因travel 的主语是light(光)，且整句描述的是客观事实，故do应为does。所以答案应为does light travel。

　　77. Through the course of my schooling, I met many teachers, two ______________________ me greatly. (influence)

　　上学时我遇到过很多老师，其中两位对我影响很大。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“影响”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为influence；根据teachers后的“，”可知，此处用非限制性定语从句或独立主格结构；再根据met和整句句意可知，本句可用一般过去时或现在完成时。所以答案应为of whom influenced/of whom have influenced/of them having influenced。

　　78. I don’t often lose things, so I was quite surprised ______________________ my wallet and found it wasn’t there. (reach)

　　我不常丢东西，所以当我拿钱包却发现钱包不在时，大吃一惊。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“当我拿”， 可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为when/the moment/at the time when I reach。仅reach一词是不能表达汉语 “拿”的意义的，只能是reach for。又根据was，found, wasn’t等词可知此处应为过去时态。所以答案应为when/the moment/at the time when I reached for。

　　79. It is reported in the newspaper that several new subway lines __________________ in Wuhan. (build)

　　据报纸报道，武汉正在建设几条新的地铁线路。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是 “正在建设”，可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为build。根据句意，应用被动语态，故语言元素扩展为be built；再根据“正在”可知，此处时态应为现在进行时，故将be built扩展为be being built；又主语为several new subway lines，是复数，而it is reported为现在时态。所以答案应为are being built。

　　80. Most believe he ___________________ for England last week, but for a serious injury which put him out of football. (play)

　　多数人认为，要不是受了重伤而告别足球，上周他本会为英格兰踢球的。

　　【分析】：对照英汉两个句子发现：缺省信息是“本会踢球”。可确定缺省信息的基本语言元素为play。“本会踢球”意为一种应做而实际末做的事情，属于典型的虚拟语气；本句还有一个明显的过去时间状语last week，英语中表示“过去应做而实际未做”的事情，应用could/would have done。所以答案应为could/would have played。
