39、篇解读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了英国作家 Roald Dahl 除了写作之外的爱好和成就。1D考查推理判断。本题 A、B、C 三项均曲解了文章意思。Roald Dahl 的作品启发了很多电视、电台节目和电影，不等于他制作了很多电影；他的书被翻译成多种语言，不等于他精通多种语言；他的读者遍布全球，不等于他去过很多国家。从第一段列举的他的书中人物，以及“Roald Dahl led a life full of adventures(冒险)”可推断出他写了很多冒险故事。故选 D 项。2D考查细节理解。根据文章对 Roald Dahl 基金会的介绍可知，该基金会由 Dahl 一家成立，目的是帮助有严
40、重伤病的人，以及帮助孩子多读书。为了实现这两个目标，他们捐钱给医疗和教育项目。对比四个选项可知，只有 D 项符合文意。3B考查细节理解。根据对 The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre 介绍的第一句可知，Felicity Dahl 创建该博物馆和故事中心的初衷就是保存 Dahl 的作品。故选 B 项。4B考查观点态度。本文字里行间都对 Roald Dahl 进行了高度评价。故选 B 项。B【语篇解读】在过去，人们经常读诗，然而现在，读诗的人越来越少。文章针对这种现象探讨了原因。5C词义猜测题。画线单词前面的 television，movie theatres
41、, World Wide Web 这些事物都是为人们提供娱乐的，由此可推断 diversion 与 amusements 同义，意为“娱乐活动”。故选 C 项。6A细节理解题。根据第二段中的 of connection to other people or to the world beyondones own community 可知，诗歌是联系一个人与他人或外部世界的纽带。故选 A 项。7 D细节理解题。 根据第四段中的 Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside orthe easy chair at night，and th
42、at they belonged where other difficulttoread things belonged.可知，读者觉得诗歌不再适合坐在火炉边或安乐椅上舒服地读，它们现在更难理解了。故选 D项。8B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，诗人让读者失望了，老师也一样。老师想让学生们知道一首诗所用到的技巧及其含义然而这些要求使学生们觉得诗歌是令人讨厌的字谜。因此，作者质疑学校教授诗歌的方式。故选 B 项。.七选五【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。 主要介绍了不同的社会背景和文化差异等会造成文化冲击，并给出了缓解文化冲击的方法。1D根据下文 That can be exciting，but i
43、t can also be overwhelming.可知，设空处表达的应是到了一个不同的文化背景下所面临的情况。 D 项 When you move to a new place， yourebound to face a lot of changes 符合文意，故选 D 项。2F根据前文，每个人在适应新环境时都会有压力，但是没必要改变一切来使你不那么引人注目， 设空处应说明没有必要改变一切的原因， 故 F 项 All of your experiences beforeyou came to your new home are part of you 符合题意，故选 F 项。3G根据上文，
44、本段主旨为教育人们，让人们了解你的文化背景。关键词为 Educate。设空处前提到“你进入新的文化中并不意味着所有的东西都要由你来学”。再根据下文They may know little about it.(他们可能对此了解甚少。)可知，设空处应是让人们了解你的文化背景。故 G 项 Take the opportunity to teach classmates and new friends about your culture(利用这个机会向同学和新朋友讲授你们的文化)符合语境。关键词 teach 与 Educate 相呼应，故选 G 项。4A根据下文，你搬家的时候可能会留下家人、朋友以及
45、你喜欢的东西，所以要保持联系。 关键词为 keep in touch。故 A 项 Keep in touch with your home(和家里保持联系)符合题意。故选 A 项。5E根据上文 Remember，its important to be yourself.可知，做自己很重要，设空处后又说要保持自己的调整步调， 设空处应陈述没必要改变得太多、 太快。 故 E 项 Try not to forceyourself to change too fast or too many things all at once(试着不要强迫自己突然改变得太快或改变太多东西)符合文意，故选 E 项。.
46、语法填空【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。 主要介绍作者参加学校的诗歌节， 被老师 Mrs. Baker误解是背诵别人的诗歌，却不敢反驳，另外一个老师 Joseph 鼓励她要勇敢为自己辩护。1excited考查词性转换。句意：诗歌节到了，我很兴奋。主语是 I，修饰人用 excited，意为“感到兴奋的”。2 perfecting考查非谓语动词。 句意： 我花了很多时间完善我的押韵词。 spend timedoing sth.表示“花时间做某事”。3beats考查名词复数。句意：我花了很多时间完善我的押韵词，数节拍。句中beat 是可数名词，意为“节拍”，此处表示复数意义，所以用复数形式 beat
47、s。4are supposed考查动词的时态。此处指 Linda，你应该朗诵原创作品，一首你自己写的诗，而不是背诵你学到的东西。由上下文语境可知用一般现在时，be supposed to do sth.意为“应该做某事” 。5to apologize考查非谓语动词。此处指你要离开房间，直到你准备好道歉再回来。be ready to do sth.意为“准备好做某事”。6for考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，Joseph 在等我回答。wait for sb. to do sth.意为“等待某人做某事”。7that考查固定句型。句意：他看上去如此和蔼，很有同情心，以至于我对他倾诉了整个故事，尽量抑制住自己的泪水。本句包含“sothat”句型，意为“如此以至于”。8yourself考查代词。此处指 Linda，当你应该维护你自己的时候，接受失败会成为一个非常危险的习惯。 主语 you 和介词 for 的宾语指代的是同一个人， 故用反身代词 yourself。9His考查代词。句意：他的眼睛微笑着看着我的眼睛。分析句子结构可知，设空处作定语，修饰 eyes，故用 His。10knocked考查动词的时态。句意：我深深地吸了一口气，敲了敲教室的门，准备面对 Mrs. Baker朗诵我的诗。分析句子结构可知，took 与设空处是由并列连词 and连接的并列结构，故填 knocked。
