　　(2016·山东省实验中学一模)When I was a young boy, my parents often told me that it

　　you?d better change yourself and your heart, __7__ the whole world.” I was __8__. It made me think about life itself. There are so many things around us that __9__ our will.

They all pay attention to my growing up, __18__ it?s just a little progress.

　　Ⅱ.语法填空

　　(2016·银川二中高考模拟)In your daily life, there are many examples where your parents control hundreds __1__ things for you when you are a kid, such as the clothes you wear, the food you eat, where you go and how you get there. It is a good thing. Kids need this kind of __2__ (protect) and help because they are not old enough to take care of __3__ and make decisions __4__ (correct). But with you growing __5__ (old), the part of being a teen is developing your own identity — one that __6__ (separate) from your parents?. Different attitudes towards events like partying may lead to arguments, because your parents will always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are. As __7__ result, your parents feel it hard to get used to the new situation with __8__ (increase) anxiety. What kids should keep in mind is __9__ in most cases, your parents can relate to what you?re going through because they __10__ (be) teens once.

　　1．________　2.________　3.________　4.________

　　5．________　6.________　7.________　8.________

　　9．________　10.________

　　语篇解读：在日常生活中，父母控制着孩子许多方面的事情。但是随着孩子的长大，父母就需要有不同的态度了。1．of　考查介词。hundreds of是固定短语，表示“许多，大量”。

　　2．protection　考查词性转换。this kind of后接名词，此处表示孩子需要这种保护和帮助。

　　3．themselves　考查反身代词。此处指代kids，故用themselves表示孩子们自己。

　　4．correctly　考查词性转换。此处用副词修饰动词短语make decisions，意为“正确地做出决定”。

　　5．older　考查形容词比较级。此处是由kid到teen，故用比较级。

　　6．is separated　考查动词的时态和语态。separate from是固定结构，意为“与……隔开”。此处是一般性的描述，故用一般现在时；又因为separate与identity之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态。

　　7．a　考查冠词。此处为固定短语as a result“结果”。

　　8．increasing　考查现在分词。用现在分词作定语，指父母正在增长的担心。

　　9．that　考查表语从句。孩子应该记住的是大多数情况下，你的父母能理解你经历的事情，因为他们曾经是青少年。is后为表语从句，且从句句意完整，故应用that。

　　10．were　考查动词时态。由once可知，此处应用一般过去时。(二)　第Ⅱ卷强化增分·组块专练——练规范)

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　(2016·唐山二模)St. Patrick’s Day is one of those __1__ (wonder) days in our kindergarten. Every year on March 17, a leprechaun (妖精) visits my classroom! He is a clever little character, and we have never been able to catch __2__ (he)．

　　This morning, we __3__ (greet) by tiny, green leprechaun footprints all over the classroom. The innocence and the magic of kindergarten came out on a day like this! None of the children raised the doubt about __4__ the leprechaun was real or not. Their faces were filled with wonder as they questioned how he had got into our classroom. They created little traps __5__ (hope) to catch him during the day — even leaving one in our bathroom so that if he should appear again over night, he might just get __6__ (catch) in our trap!

　　For the afternoon tea break, we had some delicious green vegetables and fruits and every child made __7__ beautiful green card with __8__ (wish) written on it. My favorite wish of all was the one made by Jacob, which said, “I wish everyone was nice to each other.” Another one I liked very much was “I wish this was going to be the __9__ (good) day of my life.”

　　The smiles __10__ their faces as they left school this afternoon proved that it just may have been!

　　1．________　2.________　3.________　4.________

　　5．________　6.________　7.________　8.________

　　9．________　10.________

　　语篇解读：圣帕特里克节是我们幼儿园里开心的一天，每个人都认为在这一天有一个小妖精会光顾我们的教室。今年圣帕特里克节我们甚至还看到了教室里到处都是小妖精的脚印。

　　1．wonderful　设空处后为名词，由此可判断设空处应为形容词。

　　2．him　作catch的宾语应用he的宾格形式。

　　3．were greeted　根据设空处后的by可推知主语we与greet为被动关系，故用被动语态；根据上下文可知设空处需用一般过去时，故答案为were greeted。

　　4．whether　句意：孩子们中没有一个人对那个妖精是真是假感到怀疑。根据句末的or not可知设空处应为whether(是否)。由于本宾语从句作的是介词的宾语，故不可用if。

　　5．hoping　主语they与hope为逻辑上的主动关系且表示伴随，故用hoping。

　　6．caught　get caught in“被困在……”，为固定短语。

　　7．a　card为可数名词，在本句中表泛指，故用不定冠词a。

　　8．wishes　wishes“祝愿，祝福”，专指写在书信或卡片中的祝愿。

　　9．best　根据上下文及设空处前的the可推知本空需用形容词最高级。

　　10．on　表示“脸上的微笑”需用介词on。

　　Ⅱ.短文改错

　　(2016·唐山市高三一模)

　　Hi Thomas，

　　How is everything with you recently? I’m very exciting because I have applied for a holiday job, taught English conversation in a teacher training college near Shanghai. I’m a bit of worried because I don’t know if I should bring some present for the teachers I’ll meet. Should I shake hands when I meet people, or just smiling? What topics will my students want to talk then? Might I say or do something that will seem rudely? This may seem unimportant with you, but I want to plan everything in advance, or I’d love to know what you think. You had been to China before.

　　Looking forward to your reply.

　　All the best，

　　Bruno

　　答案：第二句：exciting→excited; taught→teaching

　　第三句：去掉of; present→presents

　　第四句：smiling→smile

　　第五句：talk后加about

　　第六句：rudely→rude

　　第七句：with→to/for; or→so

　　第八句：had→have
