答案與解析【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文,介紹中國的二十四節(jié)氣。56.wasrecognised考查被動語態(tài)。that后的表語從句中主語是the“24SolarTerms”,與后面的recognise構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系,因此答案是wasrecognised。57.invention考查名詞。thefifthgreat后面應(yīng)當(dāng)用名詞。因此答案為invention。58.the考查冠詞。名詞wisdom是特指,用the。59.which考查關(guān)系代詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),逗號后面是非限制性定語從句,因此eachof后面要用which,答案是which。60.instructions考查名詞。形容詞important后面應(yīng)當(dāng)用名詞,instruction是可數(shù)名詞,用復(fù)數(shù),答案是instructions。61.on考查介詞。relyon為固定搭配。答案是on。62.toprotect考查不定式。不定式作目的狀語。答案是toprotect。63.Fortunately考查副詞。在句首作狀語,答案是Fortunately。64.themselves考查反身代詞。主語是youngpeople,haveinvolved的賓語應(yīng)當(dāng)是themselves。65.writing考查非謂語動詞。takingphotos,drawingpictures和or后面的短語應(yīng)當(dāng)是并列結(jié)構(gòu),因此答案是writing。第四部分寫作(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)第一節(jié)(滿分15分)假設(shè)你是李華,最近從報刊上了解到袁隆平海水稻探討勝利后,你寫了一篇英語短文發(fā)表在校報上,要點如下:1.袁隆平生于1930年,1953年高校畢業(yè);2.勝利研發(fā)雜交水稻,在2017年探討海水稻;3.對生活滿足,不在乎名利。留意:1.詞數(shù)80左右;2.可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié),以使行文連貫。
