Queen Margaret died here in 1093, and Mary, Queen of Scots, gave birth to James VI in the royal palace in 1566. From the 1600s onwards the castle was a military(军事的) base.

This myth holds __1__ certain appeal because if it __2__ (be) true, then we could instantly become ten times __3__ (intelligent) just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!‎ The idea that we use only a small fraction of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists __4__ (stimulate) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved __5__ (it) leg or tail. And some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.‎ Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain regions of the brain had no physical effects, which __6__ (call) the “silent cortex”. Today we know that much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities like language, learning and imagining.‎ Actually, __7__ we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity? __8__ (interest) enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a __9__ (give) task, the more the brain as a whole is capable __10__ doing.‎ ‎1．________ 　2.________ 　3.________ 　4.________ 　‎ ‎5.________ 　6.________ 　7.________ 　8.________ 　‎ ‎9.________ 　10.________ ‎ 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。我们人类只使用了大脑的百分之十？是否激活沉睡的大部分大脑我们就可以比现在聪明十倍？很遗憾，科学证明事实并不是这样的！‎ ‎1．a　考查冠词。hold a certain appeal “有一些吸引力”。‎ ‎2．were　考查虚拟语气。根据空格后的“then we could instantly become ...”可知，此处是与现在事实相反的假设，要用虚拟语气，故此处用were。‎ ‎3．more intelligent　考查形容词的比较级。由设空前的“ten times”可知，此处表示比较，指(比以前)聪明十倍，应填形容词的比较级，而intelligent是多音节形容词，故填more intelligent。‎ ‎4．stimulated　考查动词的时态。本句描述19世纪科学家所做的实验，因此用一般过去时。‎ ‎5．its　考查代词。这里its指代the animal's。‎ 9‎ ‎6．are called　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。which引导非限制性定语从句，which在从句中指代regions，此处描述一种研究发现，且call与regions是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填are called。‎ ‎7．as/when　考查连词。这句话的意思是“事实上，当我们睡觉的时候，大脑的很多区域都是极度活跃的”。‎ ‎8．Interestingly　考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空格处修饰后面的整个句子，因此此处要用副词Interestingly。‎ ‎9．given　考查非谓语动词。此处given作定语修饰task，由于give与task之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词。‎ ‎10．of　考查介词。be capable of doing sth. “有能力做某事”。‎ 三、完形填空。‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ That was a sunny day.My father and I were on the way __1__ my uncle's home.People on the street were walking leisurely and chatting __2__ ，while my father was walking in a hurry.I tried my best to __3__ him.But I was still left behind.I could not understand why he __4__ so fast.Due to the fast speed，I lost my __5__ and was completely with sweat.Somehow，I began to be angry at him.He always did not think about my__6__.‎ ‎“Why do you walk so fast? Don't you see me behind you？”I said __7__.“You are always like this.Why must you __8__ so loudly？”he said and his face got red right away.In fact，I deliberately spoke loudly and made him angry.“It is your __9__ ！”I shouted at him immediately.“You always like to __10__ others！”he cried out.This made me fall into a rage(愤怒)．Then we __11__ on the street.Whatever he said，I quickly answered back.At that time，I was like a wild beast，losing my temper.Many people stopped to look at us.I was so __12__ that I could feel my face burning，for I saw some people __13__ me，which made me lose face.I touched my face __14__ glared at him.“I will never talk to him，”I said to myself angrily.‎ ‎__15__ could make people forget everything that your beloved had done for you.When I went to college，I still hated him.I did not say anything to him，__16__ I were not his daughter.Always I pretended to complain that I was too__17__ when he called me.However，it was his tears from the wornout__18__ that made me feel guilty when we met.He had given me everything he had，but I could not.__19__ ，I 9‎ ‎ realized that I should not hate him.‎ Now I begin to phone him and ask him to take care of himself.Although sometimes parents will __20__ wrong，they just hope we can be better.‎ ‎1．A.at　　　　　　　 B．to C．for D．of ‎2．A.perfectly B．eagerly C．anxiously D．enjoyably ‎3．A.make fun of B．catch up with C．make way for D．get rid of ‎4．A.walked B．ran C．started D．trained ‎5．A.temper B．confidence C．breath D．balance ‎6．A.beliefs B．behavior C．feelings D．requests ‎7．A.calmly B．frequently C．softly D．loudly ‎8．A.tell B．claim C．read D．speak ‎9．A.fault B．cruelty C．origin D．business ‎10．A.enjoy B．admire C．blame D．abuse ‎11．A.fought B．bargained C．consulted D．quarreled ‎12．A.alarmed B．afraid C．ashamed D．amazed ‎13．A.asking for B．laughing at C．waiting for D．aiming at ‎14．A.and B．so C．but D．or ‎15．A.Anger B．Sense C．Care D．Shame ‎16．A.in case B．as if 9‎ C．unless D．after ‎17．A.wrong B．crazy C．busy D．innocent ‎18．A.arm B．face C．head D．body ‎19．A.Naturally B．Occasionally C．Obviously D．Gradually ‎20．A.do B．give C．find D．keep ‎【解题导语】作者因一件小事和父亲在大街上争吵，致使自己颜面尽失，于是下定决心不再与父亲说话。但随着岁月的流逝，作者意识到是愤怒让自己忘记了自己最爱的人为自己所做的一切，于是逐渐改变了自己对父亲的态度。‎ ‎1．B　根据语境可知，作者与父亲是在去叔叔家的路上。on the way to...意为“在去……的路上”，符合语境。故选B项。‎ ‎2．D　该句中while表示对比，意为“然而”。此处是说作者和父亲走得比较匆忙，而街上的其他人走得比较悠闲，边走边开心地(enjoyably)聊着天。故选D项。perfectly意为“完美地”；eagerly意为“急切地”；anxiously意为“焦虑地”。‎ ‎3．B　从下文的I was still left behind可知，父亲走得很快，作者试图赶上他，但是仍然被落在了后面。catch up with意为“赶上”，符合语境。故选B项。make fun of意为“取笑”；make way for意为“给……让路”；get rid of意为“摆脱……；除去……”。‎ ‎4．A　根据第二段开头的Why do you walk so fast？可知，此处指作者不知道为什么父亲走(walked)得那么快。故选A项。‎ ‎5．C　根据空后的completely with sweat可知，由于走得太快，作者气喘吁吁、汗流浃背。lose one's breath意为“喘不过气来”，符合语境。故选C项。temper意为“脾气”；confidence意为“信心”；balance意为“平衡”。‎ ‎6．C　根据上文中的I began to be angry at him可知，作者对父亲很生气，认为他根本不考虑作者的感受(feelings)。故选C项。belief意为“信念”；behavior意为“行为；举止”；request意为“请求；要求”。‎ ‎7．D　上文提到作者很生气，所以说话的声音应该是很大的。根据第8空后的so loudly也可知答案。故选D项。calmly意为“平静地”； frequently意为“频繁地”；softly意为“温柔地”。‎ ‎8．D　根据下文的In fact，I deliberately spoke loudly and...可知，此处指父亲埋怨作者说话声音大。故选D项。‎ 9‎ ‎9．A　作者责怪父亲走太快，自己跟不上，因此，此处指作者认为这都是父亲的过错(fault)。故选A项。cruelty意为“残忍”；origin意为“起源”；business意为“事情；商业”。‎ ‎10．C　作者在埋怨父亲，而此时父亲也非常生气。因此，父亲在说作者总是责备(blame)别人。故选C项。enjoy意为“喜欢”；admire意为“欣赏”；abuse意为“虐待；滥用”。‎ ‎11．D　根据下文Whatever he said，I quickly answered back.At that time, I was like a wild beast，losing my temper.可知，作者大发脾气，与父亲在大街上吵了起来，所以选quarreled，意为“争吵”。fight意为“打架”；bargain意为“讨价还价”；consult意为“咨询”。‎ ‎12．C　根据空后的I could feel my face burning可知，和父亲吵架引来很多路人驻足观看，作者感觉自己的脸滚烫，因此可推断，作者感到羞愧(ashamed)。alarmed意为“担忧的；恐慌的”；afraid意为“害怕的”；amazed意为“惊奇的”。‎ ‎13．B　由空后的made me lose face可知，作者觉得很丢人，因为看到路人在嘲笑她。laugh at意为“嘲笑”，符合语境。故选B项。ask for意为“请求；要求”；wait for意为“等待”；aim at意为“针对；以……为目标”。‎ ‎14．A　句意为：我摸了摸我的脸，怒视着他。touched和glared是作者先后做的两个并列的动作，所以用and连接。‎ ‎15．A　文中反复提到angry，通过对与父亲吵架的描述可知，此处指生气能让人忘记你所爱的人为你做的一切。故选A项。‎ ‎16．B　设空后的I were not his daughter为虚拟语气，作者因怒生恨，吵架后不与父亲说话，就好像自己不是父亲的女儿似的。as if意为“好像”，符合语境。in case意为“以防”；unless意为“除非”；after意为“在……之后”。‎ ‎17．C　父亲每次打电话时，作者总是抱怨太忙。busy意为“忙碌的”，符合语境。故选C项。wrong意为“错误的”；crazy意为“疯狂的”；innocent意为“无辜的”。‎ ‎18．B　眼泪应该是从脸上流下来，所以选face。句意为：但是，当我们见面时，父亲那饱经沧桑的脸上流下的泪水使我感到内疚。‎ ‎19．D　根据空后的I realized that I should not hate him可知，作者越来越理解父亲，认识到不应该再恨父亲，此处强调的是一个心理逐渐变化的过程。gradually意为“慢慢地；逐渐地”，符合语境。故选D项。naturally意为“自然地”occasionally意为“偶然”；obviously意为“明显地”。‎ ‎20．A　尽管有时候父母会做错事，但是他们希望我们能更好。此处指可能会做错事，所以选A项。‎ 四、短文改错。‎ Dear Steven，‎ 9‎ I would like to invite you to the annually Comingofage Ceremony of our school.‎ This big event would be held in the school auditorium from 9 am to 11 am in March 12. All the Senior Three students are expect to attend it with the company of their parents and teachers.‎ The Comingofage Ceremony is really a good chance for we students to express our gratitude to our beloved parents as well our patient teachers.

I'm looking forward to your !‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua 9‎ 难项分析：‎ 第四处：expect→expected　考查被动语态。expect与Senior Three students之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，因此应用被动语态，故把expect改为expected。‎ 第七处：that→which　考查定语从句的引导词。that不能引导非限制性定语从句，且引导词指代主句整体内容，故只能用which。‎ 第八处：shoulder前加should或者shoulder→shouldered　考查虚拟语气。“It is (high) time that＋从句”结构中，从句谓语动词要用过去式或用“should＋动词原形”，且should不可省略。‎ 五、七选五。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 9‎
