36、毅力和决心。 1D 依据 But 的转折和后面的内容“the years to follow would teach me so many life lessons:hard work, leadership, passion (激情)”可知,此处应用一个表示否定 意义的副词,表示作者不知道接下来几年的舞蹈学习会教会她这么多。barely“几乎不,几 乎没有”,符合语境。 2A 依据下文的“such as jazz, tap dance, ballet and so on”可知,作者学跳 各种风格的舞蹈。latest“最新的”;unique“独特的”;classical“古典的”。 3D 依据

39、“先前的”;final“最终的”。 8D 依据上文可知,在不能上舞蹈课的情况下,作者还在坚持跳舞,由此可以推断出 她对舞蹈饱含热情。energy“精力”;admiration“钦佩;羡慕”;appreciation“感激”; enthusiasm“热情”。 9A 依据下文的“coached myself, taught my sisters”可知,对跳舞的热情帮助 作者学习做一个指导者。instructor“教练,导师”;performer“表演者”;partner“伙 伴,同伴”;contributor“投稿人;捐献者”。 10D 依据“my own shows for my family”
40、可知,作者为家人表演节目。put on“上 演”。 11B 依据第二段的最后两句可知,作者四年间没有上正规的舞蹈课,再联系本句中 的“in the four years”可知,fail to do sth.“未做某事”符合语境。attempt“尝试”; choose“选择”;intend“打算,计划”。 12A 依据下一段内容可知,作者成为校舞蹈队的成员,因此这里指作者被校舞蹈队 录取。be admitted to“被录取”。 13B 依据下文的“I managed”“I also struggled”“I was able to become a co captain of the team

45、s, from which I get a better understanding of human civilization and a progress both in China and abroad. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua interesting 改为 interested。考查形容词。“对感兴趣”应用 be interested in 来表达,故此处应将 interesting 改为 interested。 your 改为 our。考查代词。根据下文中的“We have a grand library”可知,此处 表示“在我们学校”,故要用 our。
46、 on 改为 with/of。考查介词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,此处是介词短语作定语 修饰 library,表示该图书馆具备什么样的特征,或以什么样的形态存在,故此处应用 with 或 of,表示该图书馆有 20 万册藏书和 5 个大阅览室。 that 改为 which。考查定语从句。在“介词关系代词”引导定语从句的结构中,介 词后面不能用 that,要用 which 或 whom;本定语从句的先行词为 reading rooms,故要用“in which”引导该定语从句。 freely 改为 free。考查形容词。本句中的“fond of reading”为形容词短语作定语, 修饰 An
47、yone,故要用形容词 free 作表语和 is 共同构成谓语部分。 holding 改为 held。考查动词的语态。A monthly activity“每月的活动”是“被 举行”的,故要用动词 hold 的被动语态,故要用 held。 exchange 前加 to。考查非谓语动词。此处应用动词不定式短语作目的状语,表示每 月为学生举行的活动是为了让他们交流关于阅读的想法。 - 10 - had 改为 have。考查动词的时态。“Every autumn”(每个夏天)作本句的时间状语, 表示现在经常发生的动作,谓语动词要用一般现在时。 writer 改为 writers。考查名词的单复数。根据后面的“are invited”可知,此处 的作家不止一人,故要用名词 writer 的复数形式。 删除 progress 前的 a。考查冠词。progress 意为“进步”,为不可数名词,故其前 不能用不定冠词。
