2、. In spite of參考答案：B 解析：while引導(dǎo)從句表示與主句所述內(nèi)容的對(duì)比、對(duì)照，別人不愿到山區(qū)去，而他毫不猶豫去了。3. We can t go out in this weather, said Bob, _ out of the window. A. looking B. to look C. looked D. having looked參考答案：A解析： “Bob說(shuō)的同時(shí)，看著窗外”，因“看”也是Bob發(fā)出的，應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)，因兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生，所以不用現(xiàn)在分詞完成式，所以正確答案為A。4.

4、_ the rest of the birds!A. flyB. fliesC. is flyingD. are flying參考答案：A【詳解】考查倒裝和主謂一致。句意：別再發(fā)出這樣的噪音。對(duì)不起。哦，看，其余的鳥(niǎo)飛走了!副詞away置于句首且主語(yǔ)是名詞，句子應(yīng)采用完全倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。注意：該類(lèi)倒裝句中不能用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)；又主語(yǔ)the rest of the birds表示復(fù)數(shù)意義，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故用fly。故選A?！军c(diǎn)睛】全部倒裝是將句子中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞全部置于主語(yǔ)之前。此結(jié)構(gòu)通常只用于一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和一般過(guò)去時(shí)。常見(jiàn)的結(jié)構(gòu)有：(1)表示方式、方位、地點(diǎn)的副詞(如here, there, up, d

5、own, in, away, off, out等)、介詞短語(yǔ)(如in the room, on the wall)和then等，置于句首，且主語(yǔ)是名詞時(shí)，用完全倒裝。如：South of the river lies a small factory. 一個(gè)小型工廠坐落在河的南岸。(2)such置于句首時(shí)，用完全倒裝。如：Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man and the 20th centurys greatest scientist.這就是艾伯特愛(ài)因斯坦，一個(gè)樸實(shí)的人，也是20世紀(jì)最偉大的科學(xué)家。注意：上述全部倒裝的句型結(jié)構(gòu)的主語(yǔ)必須是名詞，如果主語(yǔ)

38、綜合理解和運(yùn)用語(yǔ)言的能力。二、完型填空的命題趨勢(shì)1、體裁、題材多樣，考察學(xué)生涉獵各種信息的能力體裁有記敘文、說(shuō)明文等；題材涉及到趣味故事、幽默小品、科普知識(shí)、日常生活、人物小記、社會(huì)熱點(diǎn)話(huà)題等等。短文一般文章短小，情節(jié)連貫，層次分明，線(xiàn)索清楚。目的是考查學(xué)生是否有閱讀各種體裁、題材文章的能力以及獲取各種新息的能力。2、側(cè)重整體理解、考查學(xué)生快速閱讀理解能力。解完型填空題需要學(xué)生具備視讀、跳讀、查讀、猜詞等各種快速閱讀技巧。因?yàn)榻忸}時(shí)間有限，在短短的時(shí)間內(nèi)，要完成全文和選項(xiàng)的閱讀，還要進(jìn)行正確判斷、推理、核查等工作?？梢?jiàn)閱讀速度非常重要。3、側(cè)重基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，考查學(xué)生語(yǔ)言知識(shí)的能力。完型填空以文入手

39、，結(jié)合文章的內(nèi)容考查學(xué)生的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，主要是詞語(yǔ)搭配、近義詞辨 異、辨析句子結(jié)構(gòu)、掌握語(yǔ)法規(guī)則的能力。如【小題11】B考查形容詞辨析A. honest誠(chéng)實(shí)的；B. good好的；C. patient耐心的；D. polite有禮貌的。根據(jù)前文判斷這類(lèi)父母想讓他們的孩子足夠優(yōu)秀。故選B項(xiàng)。4、上下文對(duì)照，考查學(xué)生捕捉關(guān)鍵詞的能力。解完型填空題時(shí)，單獨(dú)看一句話(huà)是找不到正確答案的，需要閱讀下句或者若干句才能明白。所謂上下對(duì)照，即在上文和下文中找到與正確答案相同的關(guān)鍵詞。因此，在做題時(shí)要邊讀邊在大腦中儲(chǔ)存上下文信息的能力，捕捉關(guān)鍵詞。如【小題6】A考查名詞辨析A. pressure壓力；B. contr

40、ol控制；C. discussion討論；D. consideration考慮。根據(jù)前文是自己的孩子比別人的孩子更優(yōu)秀，這會(huì)給孩子更大的壓力，還有下文的pressured判斷可知選A項(xiàng)。5、設(shè)置語(yǔ)境，考查學(xué)生的分析推理能力。旨在考查學(xué)生在選項(xiàng)都符合語(yǔ)法及句子結(jié)構(gòu)的情況下能否利用前后語(yǔ)境去推斷出正確答案。6、結(jié)合生活，考查學(xué)生利用常識(shí)題的能力。目的考查學(xué)生的生活常識(shí)，看看學(xué)生是否善于觀察生活，積累生活常識(shí)，能否利用常識(shí)去做恰當(dāng)?shù)倪x擇。7、關(guān)注連詞，考查學(xué)生對(duì)行文邏輯、句子關(guān)聯(lián)的理解能力。 此項(xiàng)用來(lái)考查學(xué)生在缺少連詞的情況想，通過(guò)閱讀能否理解句子的與句子的關(guān)系，是否了解行文邏輯的要求，能否掌握表示

41、因果、轉(zhuǎn)折、并列、條件、讓步等的連詞的用法。三、完型填空題的解題步驟：1、通讀全文，了解大意越過(guò)空擋，通讀全文，理順題意，找出信息詞，建立語(yǔ)言的整體感。這是做好完型 填空題的關(guān)鍵。因?yàn)橥晷吞羁疹}的特點(diǎn)是著眼于整體理解。如作者通過(guò)講述父母親把自己的孩子和別人的孩子進(jìn)行比較而給孩子帶來(lái)的傷害，告訴我們用合作代替競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。如【小題18】D考查介詞短語(yǔ)辨析A. apart from除此之外；B. because of因?yàn)?；C. as for至于；D. instead of代替。不要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)而要合作，故選D項(xiàng)。小題19】C考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析A. shouting at向叫喊；B. laughing at嘲笑；C.

42、 looking at看；D. striking at襲擊，攻擊。不要看著別人的孩子，而是關(guān)注自己的孩子。故選C項(xiàng)。【小題20】A考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. guide指導(dǎo)，向?qū)В籅. force強(qiáng)迫；C. invite邀請(qǐng)；D. expect期望。根據(jù)空前的role models榜樣，判斷選A。2、細(xì)讀首尾，推測(cè)意圖文章的首句是全文的“窗口”，尾句是文章的總結(jié)、結(jié)論或點(diǎn)睛之筆。這樣，通過(guò)閱 讀首句和尾句，就可以了解背景知識(shí)，對(duì)于空格位置的詞語(yǔ)進(jìn)行大膽分析和判斷，以便揣測(cè)作者的意圖，理順?biāo)悸?，為后面的答題做好鋪墊。3、綜合考慮，瞻前顧后在通讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上，根據(jù)全文大意，展開(kāi)邏輯思維，瞻前顧后，分析這一空

43、格處在 句中的地位，前后的關(guān)系和它所起的作用，認(rèn)真觀察選項(xiàng)，仔細(xì)推敲，確定最佳答案。4、復(fù)讀全文，驗(yàn)證答案 做完題目以后，要立足整體，再次通讀全文，從語(yǔ)法入手，檢查一下句子的時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)法、主謂一致、代詞的性、數(shù)、格以及詞語(yǔ)的搭配等是否正確。若有疑問(wèn)，必須根據(jù)文章的中心思想，從意義、語(yǔ)法的角度來(lái)仔細(xì)權(quán)衡，加以改正，彌補(bǔ)疏漏?？键c(diǎn)：議論類(lèi)完形填空三、 閱讀理解22.

It says ships still continue to rub against the canals walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway

45、.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船閘). The locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be

46、tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first,

47、pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (墊料) lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the expanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators ha

That represe

The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C. The new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D. The old

51、 locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.34. What is the Panama Canal Authoritys attitude towards the expanded canal?A. Cautious. B. Critical.C. Positive. D. Doubtful.35.
