***语法填空。
Anyone who has had a longterm disease knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This can be __1__ (especial) true of children. They may feel __2__ (leave) out. Now, these children may have a hightech friend to help feel less lonely. A small robot may help children who are recovering from a longterm __3__ (ill). The robot like human beings takes their place at school. And their school friends must help carry the robot between classes and place the robot on their desks.
Through the robot, a child can hear his or her teachers and friends. He or she can also attend classes from wherever they are recovering—whether at home __4__ from a hospital bed. Dolva, one of the scientists who __5__ (be) concentrating on developing the robot, explains __6__ the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. __7__ (use) the same device, he or she can control the robot's movements. Inside the robot, there is a small computer linked __8__ a 4G network. The robot is __9__ (equip) with speakers, microphones and cameras, which makes communicating __10__ (easy). So it's the eyes and the ears and the voices at school. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。病人由于长期患病在家,可能会感觉很孤独,对于孩子更是如此。本文介绍了一种机器人,可以帮助患病的孩子减少孤独感。
1.especially 考查词性转换。设空处修饰形容词true,要用副词,故填especially。
2.left 考查非谓语动词。leave out表示“遗漏;忽略”,与主语they构成逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作表语。故填left。
3.illness 考查词性转换。longterm为形容词,意为“长期的”,后应接名词。故填illness。
4.or 考查连词。根据句中的whether可知应填or,whether ... or ... 为固定搭配,“无论……还是……”。
5.are 考查主谓一致和动词的时态。本句中,who引导定语从句,先行词为the scientists,故从句谓语动词应用复数形式;全文客观地介绍一种机器人,应用一般现在时。故填are。
9
6.how 考查宾语从句的连接词。设空处引导宾语从句,作explains的宾语。分析句子结构可知,句中缺少状语,表“方式”,故用how连接该从句。
7.Using 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语can control,因此,设空处应用非谓语动词;use与其逻辑主语he or she之间为主动关系,且非谓语动词在句中作方式状语。故填Using。
8.to/with 考查介词。be linked to/with ... 为固定搭配,“与……连接”。故填to/with。
9.equipped 考查动词的语态。be equipped with ... 为固定搭配,“装配有……”。故填equipped。
10.easier 考查形容词的比较级。设空处在定语从句中作宾语补足语,而且本句暗含比较意义,应用形容词的比较级。故填easier。
***完形填空。

【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,通过讲述妹妹追求梦想的经历告诉我们:天赋很重要,但更重要的是热情。
1.B 根据上文的“How did she sound?Terrible”可知,“我”妹妹的小提琴演奏得糟糕透了;结合本句的“But”表示的转折意义可知,但她没有放弃(quit)。
2.C 根据上文可知,尽管妹妹的小提琴演奏得很糟糕,但是她仍不愿放弃;据此可以判断,本句句意为:在十二岁时,她问父母她是否可以去全日制的音乐学校上学。attend school为固定搭配,意为“上学”。
3.A 根据上文的“They said no”和父母没有答应让她去全日制音乐学校学习可以判断,每个人都认为“我”的妹妹缺乏(lacked)天赋,故A项正确。
4.D 根据本段第三句的“So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area”可知,“我”的父母为“我”找了当地最好的钢琴老师教“我”学钢琴;据此可以判断,与妹妹相比,“我”更擅长“我”的乐器。
5.C 根据下文的“So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area”可知,“我”的父母为“我”找了当地最好的钢琴老师来教“我”学钢琴;据此可以判断,老师告诉父母说“我”很有潜能(potential)。A项意为“耐心”,B项意为“热情”,D项意为“抱负”,都与语境不符。
6.A 参见上题解析。A项意为“培训,教育”;B项意为“检查”;C项意为“改正”;D项意为“挑战”。
7.D 根据语境可知,钢琴老师只有每周六下午三点有空。D项意为“有空的”,符合语境,故D项正确。A项意为“准时的”,B项意为“技术好的”,C项意为“使用中”,都与语境不符。
8.B 根据本句中的“about the British TV show”可判断,“我”热衷于一档英国电视节目。be crazy about为固定搭配,意为“热衷于”,故B项正确。A项意为“敏感的”,C项意为“严肃的”,D项意为“特别的,尤其的”,都与语境不符。
9.C 根据该句中的“every Saturday at 3 p.m.”可知,这档英国电视节目在每周六的下午三点播放。air在本句中意为“播出,播送”,属于熟词生义,故C项正确。A项意为“拍电影”,B项意为“设计”,D项意为“评论”。
10.B 根据上文的“I let nothing take up my‘The Avengers'
9
hour”可知,“我”不让任何事情占用“我”看这档节目的时间,据此可以判断,“我”拒绝了这一机会。B项意为“拒绝”,符合语境,故B项正确。A项意为“迫不及待地接受”,C项意为“等待,等候”,D项意为“打开;开发;展示”,都与语境不符。
11.D 根据本段的“So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area”可以判断,由于“我”拒绝了学钢琴,所以现在家里甚至一台钢琴也没有,故D项正确。
12.A 根据空后两句可知,“我”妹妹在四十几岁时上大学学习音乐;据此可知,尽管“我”妹妹成了一名工程师,但是她从未(never)停止对音乐的追求,故A项正确。
13.B 根据下文的“and became a music teacher”可知,在她四十几岁时,她改变了职业(career),从工程师成为一名音乐老师,故B项正确。A项意为“态度”,C项意为“计划”,D项意为“地位;职位”,都与语境不符。
14.C 根据句中的“She went back to college”和“and became a music teacher”可知,她重返大学学习音乐,并取得了音乐教育的学位(degree),成了一名音乐老师。A项意为“奖学金”,B项意为“赞助人”,D项意为“助手”,都与语境不符。
15.C 根据上文可知,“我”的父母认为妹妹没有音乐天赋,拒绝了妹妹上全日制音乐学校的请求,据此可以判断,妹妹做音乐老师时,给了孩子们她未曾得到(received)的鼓励和支持。A项意为“提供”,B项意为“想象”,D项意为“期望”,都与语境不符。
16.D 根据上文的“put on a recital”可知,妹妹和一位钢琴家举办了一场演奏会;据此可以判断,朋友和家人们都到场了。A项意为“投票”,B项意为“担心,害怕”,C项意为“熬夜”,D项意为“到达,露面”。
17.B 根据下文的“enjoying the music”可知,所有人都在欣赏妹妹演奏的音乐;据此可知,“我”环顾了四周的观众(audience),故B项正确。A项意为“学生”,C项意为“聚光灯”,D项意为“平台,讲台”。
18.A 根据本句中的“enjoying the music”可知,很显然(obviously),所有人都在欣赏妹妹演奏的音乐。B项意为“极其”,C项意为“恰当地”,D项意为“焦虚的;担心的;着急地”,都与语境不符。
19.C 根据上文的“How did she sound? Terrible”可知,七岁时,“我”妹妹的小提琴演奏得糟糕透了(awful),故C项正确。A项意为“迅速发展的”,B项意为“令人愉快的”,D项意为“有力量的”,都与语境不符。
20.A 根据本句中的“and knew how far she had come, despite”并结合上文可知,“我”想起了妹妹七岁时演奏小提琴的糟糕的声音,只有“我”知道她不顾一切(everything)走了多远。

Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards it may make a difference.

I still remember how my spoken English was improved. In a beginning, I always kept silent in our oral class to avoid make mistakes.Before long my teacher got to know about my situation.He encouraged me to speak out that I thought. Whenever I made mistakes and felt discouraging, my teacher and my classmates would help me figure out how I must avoid them.I also joined in an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice made perfect. Now I can talk fluent in English.
Just as the saying goes, “Every bean has its black.” Don't afraid of making mistakes. Learn from mistakes, and success is just waiting for us.
答案:
Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards may make a difference.
I still remember how my spoken English was improved. In beginning, I always kept silent in our oral class to avoid mistakes.Before long my teacher got to know about my situation.He encouraged me to speak out I thought. Whenever I made mistakes and felt , my teacher and my classmates would help me figure out how I avoid them.I also joined an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice perfect. Now I can talk in English.
Just as the saying goes, “Every bean has its black.” Don't afraid of making mistakes. Learn from mistakes, and success is just waiting for us.
难项分析:
第四处:that→what 考查宾语从句。分析该句结构可知,该句为含有宾语从句的主从复合句,what既作宾语从句的引导词,也作从句中及物动词thought的宾语,而that在宾语从句中不作成分,故将that改为what。
第六处:must→could 考查情态动词。根据语境可知,该句表示“帮我弄明白怎样才能避免这些错误”,作者回顾提高英语口语的过程,是过去发生的行为,故用could do sth.。
第十处:afraid前加be 考查祈使句。分析句子结构可知,该句为祈使句,afraid为形容词,故afraid前加动词原形be。
