65、据下文的描述可知，让七岁的孙女走出家门去上学几乎是不可能的。impossible “不可能的”，符合语境。37.picked分析句子结构可知，本句中已有谓语动词like，所以此处需填非谓语动词形式，因为空前名词“the shirt”与动词短语“pick out”之间是被动关系，故要用过去分词作后置定语。38.a根据空后的名词smile可知，空格处缺少限定词。固定表达put a smile on ones/the face意为“面带微笑”。39.rode此处描述的是麦迪逊过生日时发生的事情，故要用一般过去时。40.sobbing根据语境可知，“她坐在后座上哭泣”。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动

66、词sat，所以空处应考虑非谓语动词形式。此处表示与谓语动词sat同时发生的行为，且与逻辑主语she是主动关系，故此处用现在分词作伴随状语。41.anger分析语境可知，此处表示“我”尽力抑制住心中的怒火。根据空前的形容词性物主代词my可知，此处填名词形式anger，作动词短语“hold back”的宾语。42.and此处表示“我”也累了，并且“我”也没吃早餐，分析句子结构可知，空前空后都是完整的句子，且此处表示并列关系，故要用and。43.what分析语境可知，此处表示“看看我发现了什么”。分析句子结构可知，此处应用what引导宾语从句，在从句中作found的宾语。44.to see根据语境可

67、知，麦迪逊把它举起来，目的是让“我”看到。此处为目的状语，故要用不定式。45.into分析语境可知，此处表示麦迪逊把糖果放进嘴里。固定表达putinto“把放入中”。第三部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom 要来你校做一年的交换生。他写信向你咨询让他能够尽快地适应你校生活和学习的方法。请按以下要点给他回信，给予建议。内容要点：1.上课不能迟到和早退，要穿校服，保持校园整洁，不带手机回校；2.与英国不同，走路骑车要靠右；3.学习上，科目比较多，要合理安排时间完成作业，并尽可能做好预习工作。注意：1.词数80左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3.
