Which of the four libraries has the longest history?‎ A. Central Library. B. Trinity College Library.‎ C. Geisel Library. D. TU Delft Library.‎ ‎2.

B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。介绍了世界上四个设计有特色的图书馆。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由文章可知，Central Library没有提到建造年份；Trinity College Library建于1592年；Geisel Library建于1970年；TU Delft Library建于1997年。故Trinity College Library的历史最长。故选B。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由“Geisel Library”中的It has been featured in sci-fi films, short stories and novels.（它曾出现在科幻电影、短篇小说和小说中。）可知该图书馆的特别之处是这个图书馆出现在科幻电影中，而其他图书馆均未提到类似活动，故D选项正确。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you can't really see the actual library.（建筑本身就在地下，所以你不能真正看到真正的图书馆。）可知TU Delft的位置使它很难看到。故选B。‎ B Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the last great modernist architects, has died aged 102.Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: his redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s.‎ Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed.But in the end, the French — and everyone else — were won over.His glass pyramid outside the Louvre, completed in 1989, is now one of Paris' most famous landmarks.‎ Pei was born in China in 1917 into a wealthy family.His father was a banker.His artistic mother—a calligrapher and musician—had the greater influence on him.Despite not speaking English, he moved to the US at the age of 18 to study at Pennsylvania, MIT and Harvard.He worked as a research scientist for the US government during World War Two, and went on to work as an architect, founding his own firm in 1955.He carried on working well into old age, creating one of his most famous masterpieces—the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar—in his 80s.‎ He has designed buildings, hotels, schools and other structures across North America, Asia and Europe.His other work includes Dallas City Hall and Japan's Miho ‎ Museum.His style was influenced by his love of Islamic architecture.His favoured building materials were glass and steel, with a combination of concrete.‎ He won a variety of awards and prizes for his buildings, including the AIA Gold Medal, the Praemium Imperiale for Architecture.In 1983 Pei was given the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize for giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms.He used his $100,000 prize money to start a scholarship fund for Chinese students to study architecture in America.In person, Pei was always neatly dressed, good-tempered, charming and unusually modest.‎ ‎4. What do we know about Pei and his work on the Louvre Museum?‎ A. The French approved of his designs at first.‎ B. Pei was the only foreign expert employed by the Louvre.‎ C. Pei made use of glass in his designs.‎ D. Pei retired after completing the work.‎ ‎5. Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage?‎ ‎①He received the Pritzker Architecture Prize.‎ ‎②He founded his own firm.‎ ‎③He created the Museum of Islamic Art.‎ ‎④He worked as a research scientist.‎ A. ①③②④ B. ④①②③‎ C. ④②①③ D. ①④③②‎ ‎6. What words can be used to describe Pei according to the passage?‎ A. Productive and humorous. B. Generous and modest.‎ C. Determined and outgoing. D. Attractive and responsible.‎ ‎7. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Louvre Pyramid Architect Dies Aged 102 B. Prizes Awarded to Pei C. Landmarks Created by Pei D. A Famous Architect Passed Away ‎【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了享誉世界最后的现代主义建筑大师贝聿铭的生平事迹。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句His glass pyramid outside the Louvre, completed in 1989, is now one of Paris' most famous landmarks.（卢浮宫外的玻璃金字塔于1989年完工，现在是巴黎最著名的地标之一。）可知贝聿铭在他的设计中使用了玻璃。故选C。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中He worked as a research scientist for the US government during World War Two, and went on to work as an architect, founding his own firm in 1955.（二战期间，他曾为美国政府担任研究科学家，1955年，他创办了自己的公司，之后成为一名建筑师。）可知贝聿铭为美国政府担任研究科学家，之后1955年成了自己的公司；根据最后一段中In 1983 Pei was given the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize for giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms.（1983年，贝聿铭被授予第五届普利兹克建筑奖，以表彰他为20世纪创造了一些最美丽的室内空间和外部形式。）可知贝聿铭在63岁时被授予普利兹克建筑奖；根据第三段最后一句He carried on working well into old age, creating one of his most famous masterpieces—the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar—in his 80s.（他一直工作到晚年，80多岁时创作了他最著名的杰作之一——卡塔尔多哈的伊斯兰艺术博物馆。）可知贝聿铭80多岁创作了卡塔尔多哈的伊斯兰艺术博物馆。故顺序为④②①③，选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句He used his $100,000 prize money to start a scholarship fund for Chinese students to study architecture in America.（他用10万美元奖金为中国学生在美国学习建筑设立了一个奖学金基金。）可知贝聿铭是非常慷慨大方的；以及文章最后一句In person, Pei was always neatly dressed, good-tempered, charming and unusually modest.（就个人而言，贝聿铭总是衣着整洁，脾气好，富有魅力，而且非常谦虚。）可知贝聿铭很谦虚。故选B。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the last great modernist architects, has died aged 102.（贝聿铭，最后一位伟大的现代主义建筑师之一，去世，享年102岁。）以及文章主要为介绍贝聿铭的生平事迹可知A选项符合题意。故选A。‎ C It is calculated that some of the world's 7, 000 languages are in danger of getting ‎ extinct.“For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers remaining” said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.‎ The scientists found that 25 percent of the world's languages are threatened.After identifying where the endangered languages were, they looked for any environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as poor areas or rapid population growth.“We find that at the global scale, language speaker declines(减少) are strongly linked to economic growth—that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions,” Amano said.‎ ‎“One important finding of this new study is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local indigenous languages(本地语) with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” Amano said.‎ Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons.For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and thus forego their own languages.“There are other important factors that might endanger languages,” the researchers said.For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.‎ Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threats to the diversity of languages.“There exists detailed information on future changes in the environment, economies and climates,” Amano said.“Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world's languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”‎ ‎8. Why is the language of Ainu mentioned in Paragraph 1?‎ A. To show that it is most likely to disappear in the future B. To prove that Japanese is now seriously threatened C. To show that few people speak Japanese in the world D. To prove that Japanese is made up of many languages ‎9. What may endanger the languages most according to Amano?‎ A. The diversity of society. B. The decline of the population.‎ C. The improvement of the environment. D. The development of economy.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word “forego” probably mean?‎ A. Employ. B. Desert.‎ C. Record. D. Advance.‎ ‎11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The world's languages are developing at a rapid speed.‎ B. The study may be of use in stopping languages dying out.‎ C. It is rather hard for us to protect the diversity of languages.‎ D. Future threats to the diversity of languages are unpredictable.‎ ‎【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。据统计，世界上7000种语言中有一些濒临灭绝。文章主要讲述了世界上有很多语言面临灭绝的现状，分析了造成语言面临灭绝的原因。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章第一段It is calculated that some of the world's 7, 000 languages are in danger of getting extinct. “For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers remaining”可知提到世界上许多语言面临着灭绝的危险，接着以日本的阿伊努语为例，这说明该语言在未来有可能消失。故第1段提到阿伊努语是为了表明它很可能在未来消失。故选A。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“We find that at the global scale, language speaker declines(减少) are strongly linked to economic growth—that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions,” Amano said.可知，Amano认为经济的发展有可能引起某种语言的使用人数减少，使得这种语言濒临灭绝。故选D。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据上文Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and thus…可知由于种种原因，经济增长可能危及语言。例如，濒危语言的使用者可能认为另一种更受欢迎的语言提供了经济机会，因此放弃了自己的语言。故可推测划线单词意思为“放弃；舍弃”。A. Employ.雇用；B. Desert.舍弃；C. Record.记录；D. Advance.前进。故选B。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句“Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world's languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”（“利用这些信息，结合这项研究的结果和进一步的分析，我们希望了解世界上的语言将会发生什么，将在哪里发生，以及哪些语言将受到特别的威胁。”）可知，这项研究可能有助于阻止语言的消亡。故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为 ‎① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。‎ ‎② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。‎ ‎③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。‎ ‎④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。‎ ‎⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。‎ 如第三小题，根据上文Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and thus…可知由于种种原因，经济增长可能危及语言。例如，濒危语言的使用者可能认为另一种更受欢迎的语言提供了经济机会，因此放弃了自己的语言。故可推测划线单词意思为“放弃；舍弃”。A. Employ.雇用；B.‎ ‎ Desert.舍弃；C. Record.记录；D. Advance.前进。故选B。‎ D While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.‎ Why isn't complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity.The brain is designed to work efficiently.This means that when we repeat a thought negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed.Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed.This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.‎ Yet the harmful effects don't stop there.A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马区), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.‎ In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger.Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).‎ The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us.We tend to mirror the moods of our friends.For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.‎ The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude(感恩).Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine.Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar.It also decreases tiredness and depression.Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.‎ What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others? Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better ‎ all over? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.‎ ‎12. What do Para 2-3 mainly talk about?‎ A. The diseases caused by complaining.‎ B. The decrease of a vital part of our brain.‎ C. The bad effects of complaining on brain power.‎ D. The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.‎ ‎13. What can we know about cortisol from the passage?‎ A. Gratitude is an effective cure for Cortisol.‎ B. Our body produce cortisol when we feel exited.‎ C. Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.‎ D. Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.‎ ‎14. What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers?‎ A. Grateful. B. Tolerant.‎ C. Disapproving. D. Skeptical.‎ ‎15. Where can the passage most probably appear?‎ A. In a newspaper. B. In a medical report.‎ C. On a website. D. In a radio program.‎ ‎【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，抱怨会导致在解决问题时起重要作用海马区变小。除了造成大脑损伤，抱怨还会释放一种压力荷尔蒙:皮质醇，持续高水平的皮质醇会导致高血压、高血糖和免疫力下降。处理持续负面情绪的最好方法是培养一种感恩的意识。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第三段Yet the harmful effects don't stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.（然而，有害影响还不止于此。一项研究表明，抱怨会导致在解决问题时起重要作用的海马区变小。）以及第二段主要解释了抱怨如何对大脑产生消极影响的。故可知第2-3段主要谈论抱怨对脑力的不良影响。故选C。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in ‎ high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity.（持续高水平的皮质醇会导致高血压、高血糖和免疫力下降。）可知皮质醇水平过高会导致许多健康问题。故选D。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.（基于这个原因，我们应该小心在我们的朋友圈里有固执的抱怨者。）可知作者对于固执抱怨者的态度是不赞成、反对的。故选C。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.（请在下面的评论区分享你的想法。）可知文章最有可能是出现在一张网页上。故选C。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Some children do some housework, such as sweeping the floor, doing dishes, taking out the rubbish and so on. ___16___.‎ The logic behind tying rewards to housework is clear. ___17___. So they should pay kids to do their jobs. Paying kids for housework is one of the most hotly debated parenting topics.‎ Many people are in favor of this practice. They believe that getting rewards motivates kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “____18____.”‎ ‎___19___. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “____20____, since home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look,” Susie said.‎ A.But some people think otherwise.‎ B.Grownups get paid to do their jobs.‎ C.Paying kids is sending a bad message.‎ D.In exchange, they get some pocket money.‎ E.However, other people subscribe to the view.‎ F.Running any kind of household is a team effort.‎ G.Kids need positive rewards to help motivate them.‎ ‎【答案】16. D 17. B ‎ ‎18. G 19. A ‎ ‎20. F ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了对给孩子奖赏作为对他们做家务的报酬，不同的人有不同的看法。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 根据下文Paying kids for chores可知这里说家长给孩子们报酬作为做家务的酬劳，能够起总领下文作用，所以D选项：In exchange, they get some pocket money. “作为回报，家长给孩子们零花钱或者其他奖励”符合，故选D。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 根据上文提到给孩子们报酬作为他们做家务的酬劳是有逻辑的，所以B选项：Grownups get paid to do their jobs.“成人工作可以得到报酬”，因而他们也应该付钱给做家务的孩子，故选B。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据上文Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards“我们的目标是鼓励孩子获得奖励”可知 G. Kids need positive rewards to help motivate them. “孩子们需要积极的强化去鼓励他们”能够进一步解释说明，故选G。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 根据下文Susie Walton的观点可知他觉得每个人都是家里的一份子，都有责任做家务，可见他不觉得孩子们应该为做家务得到奖赏，所以A选项：But some people think otherwise.（但有些人不这么认为。）符合，故选A。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据下文since home is a living space for everyone in the family.（因为家是每个家庭成员的生活空间。）可推知管理任何一种家庭都需要团队的努力，因为家是每个家庭成员的生活空间。故F选项符合语境。‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ One month ago, Sarah bought a lipstick(口红) she had desired.

The form asked them to respond ___42___ questions such as “Did ‎ you set your alarm clock?” and “Did you use a fork to eat lunch?”On half the questions, ___43___ (choose) at random, the researchers told the participants to lie.

这是一篇说明文。一项实验研究结果表明老年人更难以区分什么是真实的，什么是不真实的。一旦他们相信谎言，就会对那些没有发生过的事情产生新的记忆。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 考查连接词。句意：去年在Brandeis大学University， 42名参与者(其中一半是大四学生，一半是千禧一代)收到了一份表格，上面有102个问题，是关于他们前一天做了什么。本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代事情，故填what。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 考查固定短语。句意：表格要求他们回答诸如“你设置闹钟了吗?‎ ‎”和“你用叉子吃午饭了吗?”短语respond to…“回答……”，故填to。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：在随机选择的问题中，研究人员让参与者撒谎。本句中choose与逻辑主语questions构成被动关系，故应用过去分词chosen。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 考查固定短语。句意：45分钟后，受访者回答了同样的问卷。短语the same“同样的；一样”，故填the。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 考查副词。句意：这一次，研究人员让他们如实回答所有问题。answer为动词需要副词修饰，故填truthfully。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 考查动词时态。句意：研究的中心问题是:当参与者第一次在一个问题上撒谎时，他们是否记得自己撒过谎?此处“撒谎”发生在“记得”之前，即“过去的过去”，故应用过去完成时，填had lied。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 考查固定短语。句意：结果显示，年龄较大的一组明显比年龄较小的一组更有可能接受他们在不到一小时前说过的谎言。短语be likely to do“有可能做某事”，故填to accept。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 考查形容词比较级。句意同上。短语less than an hour earlier“不到一小时前”，故填earlier。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 考查固定短语。句意：该研究的主要作者劳拉·佩奇说:“老年人更难以区分什么是真实的，什么是不真实的。一旦他们相信谎言，就会对那些没有发生过的事情产生新的记忆。”短语have difficulty (in) doing sth.“做某事有困难”，故填名词difficulty。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 考查定语从句连接词。句意同上。本句为定语从句修饰先行词Laura Paige，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故填关系代词who。‎ ‎【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择，可考虑以下几点：‎ ‎1、看清楚先行词的意义，就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等等。‎ ‎2、看清楚关系词的句法功能，就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用whose，有时也用which。作状语要用when, where, why。‎ ‎3、看清楚定语从句的种类，就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。 ‎ ‎4、看清楚文体，就是理清是正式文体，还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。‎ 如第十小题，本句为定语从句修饰先行词Laura Paige，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故填关系代词who。‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ Because my bad grades in primary school, I could only enter a average middle school which was equipped with old desks and old chairs.At first, I wasn't satisfying with the shabby classroom and other thing around me.And soon I realized that it was no use complaining and I should feel luck that there were experienced teachers teaching me and kind classmates keep me company.Therefore, I make up my mind to study harder and harder.It wasn't long until I came first in the class.Finally, my efforts were paid off and I was admitted into the best high school in my city.‎ ‎【答案】1.because 后加 of ‎2a→an ‎3.satisfying→satisfied ‎4.thing→things ‎5.And→But ‎6.luck→lucky ‎7.keep→keeping ‎8.make→made ‎9.until→before ‎10.去掉 were ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者从一个普通的中学，通过自己努力到最后被所在城市最好的高中录取了的故事。‎ ‎【详解】1.考查固定用法。句意：因为我小学成绩不好，我只能进入一所普通的中学，那里有旧桌子和旧椅子。because后跟原因状语从句，此处下文my bad grades in primary school为名词短语需要because of。故because后添加of。‎ ‎2.考查冠词。句意同上。middle school为可数名词，此处表示泛指“一所中学”，且average为元音音素开头单词故应用不定冠词an。故a改为an。‎ ‎3.考查形容词。句意：起初，我不满意破旧的教室和周围的其他东西。修饰人应用-ed结尾形容词，故satisfying改为satisfied。‎ ‎4.考查名词的数。句意同上。thing为可数名词，由other“其他的”修饰应用复数形式。故thing改为things。‎ ‎5.考查连词。句意：但很快我意识到抱怨是没有用的，我应该感到幸运，有经验丰富的老师教我，有善良的同学陪伴我。根据上下文语境可知为转折关系，故And改为But。‎ ‎6.考查形容词。句意同上。feel为系动词后跟形容词作表语，表示“幸运的”，故luck改为lucky。‎ ‎7.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处keep与上文teaching me and kind classmates构成并列非谓语结构，故keep改为keeping。‎ ‎8.考查动词时态。句意：因此，我下定决心要更加努力学习。根据全文时态可知为一般过去时，故make改为made。‎ ‎9.考查固定句式。句意：不久我就得了全班第一名。固定句式It isn't long before…“不久……”，故until改为before。‎ ‎10.考查动词语态。句意：最后，我的努力得到了回报，我被我所在城市最好的高中录取了。本句中主语与谓语动词为主谓关系，不存在被动，故去掉were。‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎52.假定你是李华，你的美国好友Tom将于今年九月到你校进行交流活动，届时恰逢湖北省第二届园林博览会（the 2nd Hubei Province Garden
