56、6-60 BACDC第二节 语法填空【答案】61. when 62. to 63. surprised 64. strangers 65. unusual 66. a 67. explaining 68. had not done 69. which 70. generally【解析】本文讲述了作者的一次生活经历，并启迪读者：给予和索取是相互的。【61题详解】 考查连词。Hardlywhen意为“一就”固定搭配，故用连词when引导时间状语从句。【62题详解】 考查介词。Say hello to sb,意为“向某人问好”，为固定搭配，故用介词to。【63题详解】考查非谓语动词。此处是过去分词做

57、形容词，在句中作表语，主语为人，故填surprised。【64题详解】考查名词。根据语境此处表示“陌生人”，应用名词形式stranger，又因此处不止一个陌生人，数量大于一，故用复数形式strangers。【65题详解】考查形容词。由上文“that was what I understood”可知，老人说的方言很不同寻常，故用unusual。【66题详解】考查冠词。固定搭配a handful of意为“一把”，故用不定冠词a。【67题详解】考查非谓语动词。explain和主句谓语动词之间没有连词，故空处应用非谓语动词，且和句子主语he构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式explaining。

58、【68题详解】考查虚拟语气。根据上文“I would never have tasted those lovely cherries”可知，空处表示对过去情况的事实相反，if从句用had done结构。表示“如果我没有那样做，我将永远不会品尝到这些好吃的樱桃”故填had not done。【69题详解】考查定语从句关系连词。由句子结构可知，此处是非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词cherries，故用which引导。【70题详解】考查副词。副词修饰形容词，generally修饰true。故填generally。第四部分 写作第一节 短文改错【答案】第一句：becomebecame 第二句：Disap

59、pointingDisappointed；patientlypatient第四句：decided后加to 第五句：goodwell 第六句：arewere第七句：studentstudents；去掉and 第八句：telltells；forof【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过自己从考试不及格到成为一共尖子生的转变告诉我们：态度决定高度。第一处：考查时态。根据Three years ago可知，句子用一般过去时态，故把become改为became。第二处：考查形容词。-ed结尾的形容词指人，“感到”；-ing结尾的形容词指物，“令人”。根据后面主语是I，所以是感到失望，故把Disappointi

60、ng改为Disappointed。第三处：考查形容词。句意：我发现老师是耐心和体贴的。find+宾语+形容词（宾语补足语），此处是形容词做宾语补足语，故把patiently改为patient。第四处：考查固定结构。decide to do sth.决定做某事，故在decided后加to。第五处：考查固定词组。修饰动词要用副词，故把good改为well。第六处：考查时态。句意：每当我遇到困难的时候，他们总是有空的。讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态，故把are改为were。第七处：考查名词单复数。one of +可数名词的复数表示“中的一个”，后跟复数名词，所以student改成students。第八

61、处：考查定语从句。句意：我成为了班里最优秀的学生之一，这极大地增强了我的信心，让我有了动力。这里是整个句子做先行词，后面用which引导非限制性定语从句，而不是并列句，故把and去掉。第九处：考查时态。句意：我的经验告诉我，这不是你所得到的，而是你如何利用它来决定你是谁。表示自己得到的感悟用一般现在时态，主语是My experience（经验），不可数名词，谓语动词用单数第三人称，故把tell改为tells。第十处：考查固定词组。make use of利用，故把for改为of。第二节 书面表达 My dream jobGood morning, everyone, I feel honored

67、English teacher，进一步修饰补充，不仅完善了细节，也做到了高级句式的灵活转换运用。显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。As a teacher Ill be motivated to keep updating what I have learned through lifelong learning so as to keep pace with young students, because they are always energetic and have new ideas.本长句同时采用了so as to引导目的状语和because引导的原因状语从句不仅更符合英语地道的表达，
