Ⅲ.单句语法填空

1. You will ________(毁坏) your chances of getting a pay rise if you don't work harder than others.

2. The audience waited until the curtain rose and then______ ______(burst) laughter at the sight of the funny actor.

答案：burst into

解析：句意：观众们一直等到幕布拉起，然后一看到那个滑稽的演员，大家都突然大笑

起来。burst into laughter＝burst out laughing“突然大笑起来”。

3. －Mary's always________(bury) in reading and studying.

－No wonder she always got the first place in any examination.

答案：buried

解析：句意：“玛丽整天埋头于学习和读书中。”“难怪她每次考试都得第一名。”be bu ried in“埋头于；专心于”。

4. ________(judge) to be the best student, Lucy received a scholarship, which made her parents very delighted and satisfied.

答案：Judged

解析：句意：被认为是最好的学生，露西获得了奖学金，这使父母非常高兴和满意。judge 与主语Lucy之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作状语。

5. The car was not seriously________(毁坏) in the accident and it won't cost much to get it repaired.

答案：damaged

解析：damage多指对无生命物体的损害，造成降低价值、破坏功能等后果；根据后面的“it won't cost much to get it repaired.”可知损害是可以修复的，故该用damaged。

6. Joining the firm as a clerk, he got rapid promotion, and ________ ________(end) as a manager.

答案：ended up

解析：句意：他进入公司时只是一个小职员，后来晋升很快，最终当上了经理。本题考查动词短语辨析。“end up as＋职位/职业”表示“最终做了某职位或职业”。

7．Keep ourselves and our heart open________ ________we can experience the great joy that friendship can bring.

答案：so that

解析：考查状语从句的连接词。句意：只要我们敞开心扉，就能体验到友谊带来的无穷乐趣。后句是前句的结果，因此应用连词so that。

8．I agree with most of what you said, but I don't agree with________.

答案：everything/all

解析：考查部分否定。句意：我同意你所说的大部分内容，但是我并不是同意全部内容。not...everything/all表示部分否定。

9. ______ ______ ______ ______(deal) money has been received by________ ________ ________(many) people who suffered from the floods.

答案：A great deal of; a great/good many

解析：句意：因为洪水而受罪的人们已经收到了大量救济钱款。a good/great many修饰复数名词，a great deal of修饰不可数名词。

10. －I had been worried about English before the final exam, but I got an A!

－________！(恭喜你)

答案：Congratulations

解析：考查交际用语。Congratulations！(祝贺用语)恭喜你，祝贺你！

[实战能力·提升]

Ⅳ.阅读理解

[2014·百校联盟冲刺卷]

I was living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is a huge city, with more people living in it than in my whole country (Hungary，which has a population of 10 million). We rented a flat in a community, but there was a shanty town(贫民区)quite near.

For several months I didn't have a car, so three times a week, I used public transportation to go to the city centre.During these trips, I would ride with the people who took the same bus from the shanty town to go to work.

When I got on the bus, all the seats were already taken.But when people saw that my bag was heavy (full of books), they offered to hold it on their lap to make me feel lighter. At first, I was shocked. Then I realized that these people had absolutely no intention to steal from me: they only wanted to help.

Once, on my way back, I had to wait for a long time at a bus stop. I was alone, except for a woman who was apparently very poor. She carried a small paper bag of popcorn and nothing else.

While we were waiting, she walked over and offered me some popcorn. I thanked her, but didn't want to help myself to it. She then repeatedly insisted that I take from what was evidently her only food.

That was the first time I thought about how people who have almost nothing, are sometimes able to share what they have much more “easily” than those who own a lot.I wonder if it's true that the more you have, the bigger the burden is，and the more difficult to share anything with others.

I was so moved by that woman's simple generosity that day. I clearly had more than she did, but she naturally and joyfully shared what she had with me nevertheless.

1．Where did the author live?

A. In Hungary.

B. In the centre of Sao Paulo.

C. In a shanty town of Sao Paulo.

D. In a community near to a shanty town.

高考英语完型填空专题练习及答案

完形填空练习【考点分析】主要考查语法知识、单词拼写能力和逻辑推理能力等，对基础相对薄弱的学生，尤其是英语语法基础相对薄弱的学生有一定的难度。【复习策略】掌握句子的基本结构首先，我们必须熟练掌握简单句的基本句型结构：（1）主语+谓语（+宾语+宾补）（2）主语+系动词+表语其次，我们要充分了解充当各个句子成分的典型词类：（1）充当主语或宾语的典型词类是名词或代词。此外，还有动名词、不定式短语等。（2）充当谓语的一定是动词。（3）充当补语或表语的典型词类是形容词。（4）在名词前作定语的典型词类是形容词或形容词性物主代词。（5）作状语的典型词类是副词。再次，我们还要掌握句子的扩展结构：两个或几个简单句之间若不用句号或分号，就必须要用连词，否则，句子的结构就不完整。连词主要有以下四类：（1）用and,but,or,while(而，却)，when（就在这个时候）等构成并列句。用if,unless,before,after,until,although,though,as,since,because,so,so that 等构成含状语从句的复合句（这里要注意区分一下复杂句和复合句，复合句是包含在复杂句这个概念里面的,在下文的基础写作部分有提到）。（3）用who,which,that,when,where,why等构成含定语从句的复合句。（这里要提醒考生的是往往不给任何提示的空就是填连词或关系词的，但也须结合句子

结构来分析。）（4）用that,if/whether(是否)，wh-等构成含名词性从句的复合句。【解题方法】用句子结构分析法巧解语法填空.分析句子的结构对解答语法填空题很有帮助。在解答语法填空题时，分析句子结构可以迅速确定所要填的词语的词类或大致方向，若再结合语境就可以很快得出具体的词语或词形，结合语境方面要特别注意短文的时态和上下文中的一些提示。【经典例题】阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。 The Internet has become part of young people’s life. ____1____ report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet .

高考英语阅读理解限时训练题及答案

2014高考英语阅读理解限时训练题及答案（10）【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（7）】A Actually, long-distance bicycle camping is one of the most pleasurable activities I have ever experienced. I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. In the morning, I am awakened by the cheeps of birds. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. I'm slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. Near lunch, I find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. Then I will find a town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time on stops. In the late afternoon, I start riding more slowly, and I start thinking about where I will stop. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep. There are exciting times and difficult times as well. Visiting strange or famous places and accomplishing goals are always exciting to me. I meet and talk with interesting people along the way, sometimes other traveling cyclists. Appreciating beautiful views, meeting wild animals, and traveling up and down hills also stir me up. On the other hand, I may run into a rainy or hot spell(一段时间), have to repair my bike, or just find myself in a bad mood. The problems are infrequent and are easy to deal with. The pleasures remain in my mind for years. 26. We can learn from the passage that the author can have a good sleep ______. A. in a hotel B. at home C. in the shade D. in the woods 27. In the first paragraph, the author tells us that ________. A. how he sleeps during his travel B. the route of his bicycle travel C. why he rides slowly all the time
