destination.可知,巴哈马天堂岛亚特兰蒂斯度假村新建的珊瑚塔和隔壁的Marina Village村是一个露天购物和餐饮市场,这只是游览这个加勒比热门旅游目的地的两个最新理由。由此可知,Marina村是购物的好地方。故选C。

After the Gold
Congratulations! You’ve won the gold medal! Stand still while the photo flashes (闪光灯) pop and TV journalists ask how it feels. Thousands of new followers on social media, meanwhile, are waiting for what you have to say.
Then, prepare for a different kind of downhill.
Diann Roffe knows the experience well. The American Alpine ski racer (高山滑雪运动员) won a gold medal at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics after winning a silver at the 1992 Albertville Games. She immediately announced her retirement. She was 26, an age when most people have just begun a career.
Joining society at 26 can be tough. A professional athlete’s life is remarkably self-centered. You wake up taking your heart rate. You think of your own workout goals. You write down what you eat. After years of self-focus, if everything works out just right, you win. Most people will never experience a high that high. But there’s a downside.
“It was like being taken up to the highest mountain peak to see the view, and then being brought down, never to be there again,” said Roffe. In the first years after her win, Roffe thought, “Here I am struggling with the masses to make ends
- 27 -
meet and get school done, seeking that extraordinary feeling again.”
Roffe’s friend, speed skater Cathy Turner, was the darling after she won a gold at the 1992 Albertville Games. “I woke up every day with a long to-do list,” she recalled her early days after retirement. “It was like, ‘What speech am I giving? What company am I going to address?’ I was Cathy the skater, the Olympian. Then I was Cathy the motivational speaker.”
Turner found it difficult to make a transition out of the sport. She returned to compete at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics, where she won another gold. She retired again, turned her attention to computers, but soon found herself with marital (婚姻的) troubles. Turner escaped her troubles the only way she knew — she trained for the 1998 Games, where she didn’t win a medal.
If their stories illustrate how difficult post-gold years can be, Roffe and Turner also show why winning athletes often eventually succeed.
“Think of what these people develop!” said California sports psychologist Doug Gardner. “Perseverance. Tenacity in dealing with failure. These skills are very useful in other aspects of life.”
Turner combined her perseverance with her love of computer technology. She finally became a valued database (数据库) manager at a company in New York state. Roffe, 23 years after her retirement, runs a successful business which makes locker (储物柜) systems for team locker rooms, resorts and gyms.
4. Which of the following statements about Diann Roffe is true?
A. She won her first Olympic gold medal in 1992.
B. She was invited to address many big companies after her retirement.
C. She has taken part in the Olympic Games three times in all.
D. She has become a successful businesswoman.
5. According to the article what is the “downside” of winning Olympic gold medals?
A. Athletes will have many sleepless nights as TV journalists pour in.
B. Athletes will have a hard time deciding what to say to new followers on social media.
- 27 -
C. Athletes will find it challenging to relive such great feelings in daily life.
D. Athletes earn small salaries and most of them will find it hard to make ends meet after retirement.
6. Doug Gardner thinks winning athletes can achieve success in life as well because ______.
A. they focus remarkably well on themselves
B. most of them are very strong and healthy
C. they tend to keep trying despite difficulties
D. they know how to motivate others
7. We can tell from the article that Roffe felt happy after returning from the 2014 Sochi Winter Games because ____.
A. American Alpine ski racers won many gold medals
B. she felt she had finally made a transition out of her sport
C. the U.S.A. team used the products of her company
D. her husband and kids accompanied her to the races
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章以美国高山滑雪选手Diann Roffe和Cathy Turner为例,她们二人都是在赢得了金牌后宣布退役,说明了运动员在取得优秀的成绩之后,往往面临的是下坡路。大多数人不会经历他们那样的高潮,但是在日常生活中运动员重温这些伟大的感觉是很有挑战性的。但运动员所拥有的技能也成了她们日后事业能够成功的条件。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Roffe, 23 years after her retirement, runs a successful business which makes locker systems for team locker rooms, resorts and gyms.可知,在退休23年后,Roffe经营着一家成功的企业,为球队更衣室、度假村和健身房制造更衣室系统。由此可知,Diann Roffe已成为一名成功的女商人。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“It was like being taken up to the highest mountain peak to see the view, and then being brought down, never to be there again,” said Roffe. In the first years after her win, Roffe thought, “Here I am struggling with the masses
- 27 -
to make ends meet and get school done, seeking that extraordinary feeling again.”
可知,Roffe说:“这就像被带到最高的山峰去看风景,然后又被带下来,再也没有回来。”在她获胜后的头几年里,Roffe认为,“我在这里和大众一起努力,让收支平衡,完成学业,再次寻找那种不寻常的感觉。”由此可推知,赢得奥运金牌的“坏处”是运动员会发现在日常生活中重温这种伟大的感觉是很有挑战性的。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Perseverance. Tenacity in dealing with failure. These skills are very useful in other aspects of life.可知,毅力。坚韧地面对失败。这些技能在生活的其他方面非常有用。由此可知,Doug Gardner认为,获胜的运动员也可以在生活中获得成功,因为他们往往会在困难面前不断尝试。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第四段中的Turner found it difficult to make a transition out of the sport. She returned to compete at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics, where she won another gold. (Turner发现很难从这项运动中过渡出来。她又参加了1994年利勒哈默尔冬奥会,她再次夺冠)可推知,Roffe从2014年索契冬奥会回来后宣布退役,应该感到很高兴,因为她觉得自己终于从自己的运动项目中过渡出来了。故选B。
C
Tutoring a New Normal
It's not piano lessons or dance classes. Nowadays, the biggest extracurricular activity in the West is going to a tutor. “I spend about 800 [Canadian] dollars a month on tutors. It’s costly,” says Pat, a mother in Canada. However, she adds, “After finding out half my daughter’s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.”
Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. “When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always yelling. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and could get most of their homework done.”
Tutoring isn’t simply a private school phenomenon. Nor is it geared only toward lower-achieving students. In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent in five years.
- 27 -
Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried that schools are not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the school day. With a large number of Asians emigrating (移民) to the West in recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.
Another reason for the growth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules. “A lot of parents just don’t have time to help their children with homework,” says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. “Others couldn’t help their children after Grade Three.”
There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. “Children used to get bullied (欺侮) for having a tutor,” Diamond says. “Now it’s becoming the norm to have one.”
Children themselves don’t seem to mind that they have a tutor. One parent feels surprised that so many of her child’s classmates have tutors. “For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need,” she says. Still, she’s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.
8. The tutoring business in the West has seen growth in recent years because_______.
① immigrants from Asia have had an impact on people’s attitudes toward tutoring
② a lot of parents are too occupied to help their children with homework
③ children no longer get bullied for getting extra help from a tutor
④ many schools cannot offer as much extra help as their students need
A. ①②③ B. ①②④
C. ①③④ D. ②③④
9. Between 2010 and 2015 in Canada, the number of high school students using a tutor grew by_______.
A. seven percent B. eight percent
C. ten percent D. fifteen percent
10. Shelley decided to equip her children with a tutor because cause_________.
A. her children’s school was not meeting her expectations
B. over half of her children’s classmates had tutors
C. her children’s homework was too difficult for her
- 27 -
D. she had a hard time getting her children focused
11. According to the article, which of the following statements is true?
A. Pat got a tutor because she couldn’t help her child with homework.
B. Shelley spends about 800 Canadian dollars on tutors every month.
C. Most students who use a tutor have poor scores at school.
D. Asians usually place more emphasis on education than Westerners.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家教热蔓延到西方,国外的孩子也忙着补课。文章介绍了西方国家家教现状,中小学请家教日益增长,家长对此褒贬不一。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的With a large number of Asians emigrating to the West in recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact. (近年来,随着大量亚洲人移居西方,他们对教育的态度产生了影响)可知,由于亚洲移民对人们的家教态度产生了影响,西方的家教行业出现了增长,故选①;根据第五段中的Another reason for the growth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules.(业务增长的另一个原因是父母的沮丧和他们紧凑的日程安排)可知,由于许多家长太忙没时间帮助孩子做家庭作业,导致西方的辅导业务增长迅速,故选②;根据倒数第二段中的“Children used to get bullied for having a tutor,” Diamond says. “Now it’s becoming the norm to have one.”( “过去,孩子们因为请家教而被欺负,” Diamond说,“现在,拥有一个家教正成为一种常态。”)可知,孩子们不再因为得到家教的额外帮助而被欺负是辅导业务增长迅速的另一个原因,故选③。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent in five years.可知,仅在加拿大,2010年就有7%的高中生请家教。这一比例在五年内上升到了15%。由此可知,2010年至2015年,加拿大高中学生请家教的人数增长了15%-7%=8%。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always yelling. When I got a tutor once a week, they became
- 27 -
focused for one entire hour and could get most of their homework done.可知,当我和孩子们坐在一起的时候,很难让他们集中注意力。我总是大喊大叫。当我每周请一次家教时,他们就会专注一个小时,完成大部分作业。由此可知,Shelley决定为她的孩子配备一名家庭教师,因为她很难让她的孩子集中注意力。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the school day. With a large number of Asians emigrating to the West in recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.可知,在亚洲,教育具有特殊的价值,辅导被看作是上课时间的延伸。近年来,随着大量亚洲人移居西方,他们对教育的态度产生了影响。由此可知,D选项“亚洲人通常比西方人更重视教育”正确。故选D。
D
Do big sporting events make us do more sport?
I recently spent half a weekend sitting on the sofa watching the Davis Cup. I thought about going for a run, but I did not want to miss the rest of the match. Soon it was starting to get dark, so I did not bother. Whenever I watch tennis, I think how nice it would be to play it regularly. But I have been thinking that for almost 20 years without actually setting foot on a court. The evidence would suggest that I’m not the only one.
When a country or city bids to host an international sporting event, it often promises that more people will take up sports as a result. London was no exception. Tessa Jowell, who helped to secure the 2012 Olympics for London, said they would be the first to set challenging but achievable targets as a measure of their ambition: By 2012 two million more people would be physically active. And 60 percent of young people would be doing at least five hours of sports per week.
In the end it did not turn out quite like that. Just over one-third of people in Britain take part in sports once a week. A report on Olympic and Paralympic legacy has said that a big change in participation levels simply has not happened.
Why isn’t there a big increase in people taking part in sports after most sporting events? Perhaps it is a mistake to assume an automatic link between watching sports
- 27 -
and playing it. While the games are on, they actually encourage people to do just the opposite — to spend whole sunny days not out playing sports, but inside sitting on the sofa with the curtains shut to stop the sun shining on the TV screen and spoiling the view. We don’t expect half the audience of a hit musical to apply to drama school the next day, yet we seem to expect it of sporting events.
We might have sat on the sofa doing an impression of Usain Bolt’s bow-and-arrow signature pose. But how many of us have been inspired by watching him sprint (短跑) 100 meters? The high-level performances on show only remind people that they could never match the elite athletes in their sporting achievements even if they trained full time.
Maybe participation in sports is not the right legacy to expect after a major sporting event. It’s not so much that the Olympics failed to get people to participate but rather that this was never going to be the result. The Olympics can do many things, but maybe this cannot necessarily be one of them.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The author prefers playing tennis to running.
B. The author watches tennis matches very rarely.
C. The author hasn’t played tennis in nearly two decades.
D. The author didn’t go for a run because the match lasted longer than expected.
13. The underlined word “secure” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.
A. to fasten B. to protect C. to obtain D. to promise
14. According to the article, there is no noticeable rise in sport participation after most events because .
①it takes people a longer time to play sports than watch it
②watching sports actually discourages people from going out
③sporting events make people aware that they could never be as good as elite athletes
④people are too busy to get into the habit of taking part in sports
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④
15. According to the author, to expect more citizens to play sports after a country
- 27 -
hosts the Olympics is .
A. important B. natural C. harmful D. unnecessary
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。本文作者喜欢看网球比赛,却20年未打过网球,反而经常去跑步,由此例子出发,作者认为一些大的体育赛事,比如伦敦奥运会,并未起到它承诺的鼓励人们多出门运动的作用,反而让更多的人待在家中看比赛。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Whenever I watch tennis, I think how nice it would be to play it regularly. But I have been thinking that for almost 20 years without actually setting foot on a court.可知,每当我看网球比赛的时候,我就会想如果能经常打网球该有多好。但近20年来,我一直在思考这个问题,却从未真正踏上过球场。由此可知,作者已经将近20年没有打过网球了。故选C。
13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文the 2012 Olympics for London可知,Tessa Jowell曾经帮助过伦敦获得2012年奥运会主办权,故划线单词意思为“获得”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的While the games are on, they actually encourage people to do just the opposite — to spend whole sunny days not out playing sports, but inside sitting on the sofa with the curtains shut to stop the sun shining on the TV screen and spoiling the view.可知,在奥运会期间,他们实际上鼓励人们做相反的事情——在阳光明媚的日子里,不要出去运动,而是坐在沙发上,关上窗帘,以阻止阳光照射在电视屏幕上,破坏视线。由此可知,在大多数赛事之后,参与体育运动的人数并没有明显增加,因为观看体育比赛实际上会让人们不愿出门,故选②;根据第五段中The high-level performances on show only remind people that they could never match the elite athletes in their sporting achievements even if they trained full
- 27 -
time.可知,高水平的表演只是提醒人们,他们永远无法在体育成就上与精英运动员相比,即使他们训练的全部时间。由此可知,在大多数赛事之后,参与体育运动的人数并没有明显的增加,因为体育赛事让人们意识到,他们永远不可能达到顶尖运动员的水平,故选③。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的It’s not so much that the Olympics failed to get people to participate but rather that this was never going to be the result. The Olympics can do many things, but maybe this cannot necessarily be one of them.可知,与其说奥运会没能让人们参与,倒不如说这永远不会成为结果。奥运会可以做很多事情,但也许这不一定是其中之一。由此可知,作者认为,在一个国家举办奥运会之后,期望更多的公民参加体育运动是不必要的。故选D。
【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2小题,根据后文the 2012 Olympics for London可知Tessa Jowell曾经帮助过伦敦获得2012年奥运会主办权,故划线单词意思为“获得”。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。
How Disney grew its $3 billion Mickey Mouse business — by selling to adults
In March 2019, Gucci began selling a $4,500 purse in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head. Between the creature’s round black ears is a small handle embossed (凸印) with the word “Gucci.” On the brand’s website, a male model stares seriously into the camera without the slightest trace of irony (讽刺) that he is, in fact, carrying around the head of a children’s cartoon character.
- 27 -
It’s perhaps the most luxurious Mickey Mouse products designed for adults. ___16___ Maybelline created makeup sets with packaging covered in Mickey’s face. Uniqlo made dozens of graphic T-shirts with Mickey in various poses. So as not to miss out on the action, Apple launched $300 Beats headphones that paid homage to (向……致敬) the Mouse.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Mickey Mouse and his friends sold $3 billion in merchandise (周边商品) in 2018, a figure that includes both adult and children’s products.
This brings up the question: Why would adults wear items decorated with the face of a smiling rodent in the first place? What accounts for the enduring appeal of this anthropomorphized (拟人化的) mouse, while other Disney characters, such as Anna from Frozen, hardly ever appear in adult products?
Mickey Mouse was big business almost as soon as he made his debut (首次亮相) in Walt Disney’s animated short Steamboat Willie (《汽船威利号》) in 1928. Within five years, Mickey was earning $1 million a year in merchandise sales. These products were largely targeted at children, including stuffed toys, trains, and nursery (托儿所) wallpaper.
Everything changed in the years after World War II. ___17___ For one thing, Mickey was nearly twenty years old, which meant that the first audience, who enjoyed the cartoons as children, were now in their thirties. Disney was willing to transform Mickey into a symbol of innocence in the postwar years, when people were desperate for something hopeful to cling to.
All the marketing worked. In 1947, products featuring Disney characters brought in $100 million in revenue (收益) in merchandise. In addition to kids’ products, many of the items sold were for adults, such as radios and phonographs (留声机).
____18____ He made Mickey’s face and body rounder, and eyes larger, like those of a baby. Scientists have shown that adults are more drawn to childlike faces. That look is more likely to subconsciously (潜意识地) produce a greater level of attachment in the viewer.
____19____ For instance, the company has done everything in its power to ensure
- 27 -
that they do not use images of Mickey drinking and smoking.
By and large, though, the symbolism Mickey represents is the one Disney has put forth: that of innocence and positivity. ____20____ In World War II, people used Mickey to help cope with the horrors before them. This might also help explain why Mickey Mouse has been popular over the past few years when many people are experiencing political instability.
A. Over the decades, Disney is always sensitive about how brands portray Mickey when it licenses his face.
B. Why was this effective at getting adults’ attention?
C. This is perhaps why adults seem drawn to him during times of trouble.
D. At that point, demand for products bearing Mickey’s face among adults decreased.
E. But it’s just one of many that has flooded the market.
F. Disney kept developing the character to make him more and more universally appealing.
G. Disney’s goal was clearly to make the character universally known and loved.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了迪斯尼是如何通过向成人销售米老鼠来发展其30亿美元业务的。文章分析了成年人喜欢米老鼠图案的原因,以及迪士尼米老鼠在历史上的发展历程,总的来说,米奇所代表的象征意义是:天真和积极。
【16题详解】
根据后文Maybelline created makeup sets with packaging covered in Mickey’s face. Uniqlo made dozens of graphic T-shirts with Mickey in various poses. So as not to miss out on the action, Apple launched $300 Beats headphones that paid homage to the Mouse.可知,美宝莲制作了一套化妆品,包装上印有米奇的脸。优衣库制作了几十件印有米奇不同姿势的图案T恤。为了不错失这次机会,苹果推出了售价300美元的Beats耳机,向米老鼠致敬。由此可知,Gucci生产的米老鼠头钱包只是众多涌入市场的产品之一。故E选项“但它只是众多涌入市场的产品之一”符合上下文语境,故选E。
【17题详解】
根据后文For one thing, Mickey was nearly twenty years old, which meant that the first
- 27 -
audience, who enjoyed the cartoons as children, were now in their thirties. Disney was willing to transform Mickey into a symbol of innocence in the postwar years, when people were desperate for something hopeful to cling to.可知,首先,米奇已经快20岁了,这意味着第一批观众在孩提时代就喜欢上了卡通片,现在已经30多岁了。迪斯尼愿意在战后把米奇变成一个无辜的象征,当人们急切地想要一些有希望的东西。由此可知,第二次世界大战后,成年人对带有米奇脸的产品的需求降低了。故D选项“那时,成年人对带有米奇脸的产品的需求下降了”符合上下文语境,故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文He made Mickey’s face and body rounder, and eyes larger, like those of a baby. Scientists have shown that adults are more drawn to childlike faces.可知,他让米奇的脸和身体更圆,眼睛更大,就像婴儿的眼睛一样。科学家发现,成年人更容易被孩子般的面孔所吸引。由此可知,迪士尼一直在开发米奇,想让他变得更具有吸引力。故F选项“迪斯尼一直在开发这个角色,使他越来越具有普遍的吸引力”符合上下文语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据后文For instance, the company has done everything in its power to ensure that they do not use images of Mickey drinking and smoking.可知,例如,公司已经尽其所能确保他们不使用米奇喝酒和吸烟的图片。由此可知,迪士尼对米奇形象的塑造问题非常敏感,避免了使用米奇喝酒和吸烟的图片。故A选项“在过去的几十年里,迪斯尼对于品牌如何塑造米奇的形象一直很敏感”符合上下文语境,故选A。
【20题详解】
根据后文In World War II, people used Mickey to help cope with the horrors before them. This might also help explain why Mickey Mouse has been popular over the past few years when many people are experiencing political instability.可知,在第二次世界大战中,人们利用米奇来帮助他们应对面前的恐怖。这也可以解释为什么米老鼠在过去的几年里很受欢迎,因为很多人都在经历政治动荡。由此可知,米奇所代表的象征意义使得人们在遇到麻烦的时候会被他吸引。故C选项“这也许就是为什么成年人在遇到麻烦的时候会被他吸引”符合上下文语境,故选C。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
- 27 -
Is your dog always chasing ___41___ own tail around and around? It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail-chasing is a way for ___42___ (dog) to burn off some energy. In most cases, they’re doing that for one of the two reasons: They’re bored or they’re stressed. If a dog doesn’t have anything (or anyone) to play with, it might please itself by ____43____ (play) with its tail. There is also a possibility that the action could be a warning sign ___44___ your dog is bored or stressed.
It’s normal for dogs ____45____ (chase) their own tails every now and then, ___46___ watch out if your pet is doing it every day. A continuously bored or stressed dog might feel ignored, so make sure its basic needs ___47___ (be) met, including exercise and socialization. A visit ____48____ the animal clinic (动物诊所) is also a good idea. If the tail-chasing started ____49____ (sudden), your dog might need to see the doctor. The _____50_____ (soon) it gets a medical check, the better. With some treatment and training, you and your dog will both be happier.
【答案】41. its
42. dogs 43. playing
44. that 45. to chase
46. so 47. to be
48. to 49. suddenly
50. sooner
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了狗有时候会追着自己的尾巴,如果偶尔这样属正常,但如果每天这样就有可能生病了,需要治疗。
【41题详解】
考查代词。空格处为定语修饰own tail应用形容词性物主代词its,表示“它的”。故填its。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。dog为可数名词,前面没有冠词,应用复数形式。故填dogs。
【43题详解】
- 27 -
考查非谓语动词。by为介词,后跟动名词做宾语。故填playing。
【44题详解】
考查连接词。此处为同位语从句,从句中不缺少成分,应用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。根据固定句型“it be+形容词+for sb.+ to do sth.”,表示“某人做某事很……”,it为形式主语,不定式做真正主语。故填to chase。
【46题详解】
考查连词。句意:狗时不时地追逐自己的尾巴是很正常的,所以如果你的宠物每天都这样做的话,你就要小心了。结合上下文语境可知,前后句意为因果关系,应用连词so。故填so。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。根据短语make sure to do sth.表示“确信做某事”,且meet与needs为被动关系,故应用to be done形式。故填to be。
【48题详解】
考查介词。根据短语a visit to表示“拜访……”。故填to。
【49题详解】
考查副词。修饰动词started,应用副词suddenly表示“突然地”。故填suddenly。
【50题详解】
考查比较级。此处为固定用法“the+比较级,the+比较级”表示“越……,越……”。故填sooner。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:
一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句;
二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分);
三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。
如第4小题,此处为同位语从句,从句中不缺少成分,应用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。

I have planned an autumn outing for my class next week, and I’m writing to ask your permission.
First, the place where we’ve decided to visit — the Forest Park is not far away from the city. We can take a bus and ride a bike to get there. Second, the trip would provide us with a great opportunity to get close to the nature. Third, we need to spare some time to take some physical exercises. Some teachers as well as Mr. Wang is going to join us to make sure of our safe.
We are all looking forward to receive your permission. We will appreciate you if you can kindly give us an immediate reply.
____51________52________53________54________55____
____56________57________58________59_________60_____
【答案】51. ask后面加for
52. where→which/that
53. and→or 54. would→will
55. 去掉the nature中的the
56. exercises→exercise
57. is→are 58. safe→safety
59. receive→receiving
60. you→it
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一封信件。作者计划下周进行秋天的郊游,在此写信请求许可。
- 27 -
【51题详解】
考查介词。句意:我计划下周全班做一次秋游,我正在写信请求您的许可。此处是固定搭配:ask for sth.“请求某事”。故在ask后面加for。
【52题详解】
考查定语从句。此处是限定性定语从句,先行词是the place,指物,在后面的定语从句中作宾语,应使用关系代词which/that。故where改为which或that。
【53题详解】
考查连词。句意:我们能坐公共汽车或骑自行车到那里。坐公交车和骑自行车是选择关系。故and改为or。
【54题详解】
考查动词时态。根据前面的next week可知,应用一般将来时。故would改为will。
【55题详解】
考查冠词。nature做“大自然”讲时,前面不用冠词。故去掉the nature中的the。
【56题详解】
考查名词单复数。此处exercise表示“锻炼”,是不可数名词。故exercises改为exercise。
【57题详解】
考查主谓一致。此处as well as连接两个主语,后面的谓语动词和第一个保持一致。故is改为are。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:一些老师和王老师会加入我们以确保我们的安全。形容词性物主代词修饰名词。故safe改为safety。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词look forward to后跟名词或动名词。故receive改为receiving。
【60题详解】
考查固定句型。此处是固定句型:appreciate it if“如果……将感激不尽”,it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是if从句。故you改为it。
【点睛】本题中的第9小题,look forward to“期盼”,to为介词;to作介词讲时,后面常用名词、代词宾格和动名词。如:the key to solving the problem解决这个问题的关键;the road to success通向成功的路;a trip to London 伦敦的一次旅行;a visit to Paris
- 27 -
pay巴黎的一次访问;pay attention to重视;object to反对;look forward to期盼。
