Im Li Hua, monitor of our class. _答案Part 1阅读理解1C2D3A4B5D【分析】这是一篇记叙文。这篇短文讲述一位船长经常欺骗船员的工资,一次在欺骗船员后被这位船员用相同的方法对其进行了反击。这个故事采用了“以其人之道还治其人之身”的方法。1
23、细节理解题。根据文章第一段“There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages. ”曾经有一个船长非常爱钱,因此在每次航行结束后他都骗自己的船员并拿走他们的工资。可知船长通过欺骗船员拿走他们的工资,故选C。2推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ A fires fire you said,” answered the sailor. “If it is enough to warm me in the w
24、ater, it is enough to cook your chicken.”可知,火就是火,如果火能使我在水中温暖,那么它也足够能烹饪鸡。由此判断出水手比船长更聪明。故选D。3细节理解题。根据第六段“A fires fire, answered the captain. I have won. ”船长强词夺理离船员半英里处的火在给他取暖,说明船长想要赢得赌注。故选A。4细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话“When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away by c
25、hance.可知,天快亮了,一些渔民偶然在半英里外的岸边生起了火。故B选项“为了帮助水中的水手,渔民们生了火”错误。故选B项。5主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述一位船长经常欺骗船员的工资,船长对水手们说:“如果你们中有人在水里呆一整夜,我就把我的船给他。”有一个船员和船长打赌,并跳进了水里,但是船长认为,是半英里外渔民生的火,使船员获得了温暖,船长认为水手作弊。但水手又反过来与船长打赌,打赌船长做不熟鸡肉。船长问火在哪里,水手回答道到离这儿有半英里远。船员用船长用过的方法整蛊了船长。所以短文的最佳标题为“火就是火”。故选D项。6C7B8D9A【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一种即将上市的高科技袜
26、子,它可以帮助人们跳舞、走路、跑步等各种体育活动。6词义猜测题。根据划线部分前的This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor.可知,这可能是送给在舞池里让你尴尬的舞伴的完美礼物。由此可知,划线部分指的是“不擅长跳舞的人”。故选C。7细节理解题。根据第二段中的The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet.可知,这种高科技的袜子是由特殊纤维制成的,可以观
27、察你的脚的运动。由此可知,制成这种袜子的原料纤维能够监控你的脚步移动。故选B。8细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,这种袜子可以帮助运动员和跑者避免受伤、教人们跳舞以及教穿高跟鞋的女性走路,并没有提到这种袜子可以穿很多天都不用洗。故选D。9细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your fee
28、t can use it.可知,人们都可以从这个想法中受益。我们对各种运动都有兴趣,比如滑雪、足球、自行车和高尔夫球。任何需要用到脚的地方都可以用。由此可知,Vigano博士认为每个人都可以充分利用这款智能袜子。故选A。Part 2语法填空 10the11them12voyages13learning14rapidly15as16was based17because18enriched19that/ which【分析】本文主要讲述了英语的发展历史和对英语的发展影响比较大的两个人物。10考查冠词。at the end of.“在结尾”,为习惯搭配。故答案为the。11考查代词。由空前的of可知,
29、此处应该用宾格them,指代的是上句中的“about five to seven million people”。故答案为them。12考查名词复数。分析句子结构可知,此处应填名词,因voyage是可数名词,其前没有限定词,故填voyages。13考查动词-ing形式作定语。people与learn之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故填learning。14考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰动词,填副词形式。故答案为rapidly。15考查介词。此处指许多其他国家的人把英语作为外语来说。as表示“作为”,符合语境。故答案为as。16考查动词的时态和语态。be based on.表示“以为基础”,为固定
30、搭配,且此处表示的是过去的情况,故填was based.17考查连词。根据语境可知,上下文之间是因果关系,且为前果后因,故用because。18考查词形转换和时态。结合下文中的“making English with more words”可知,莎士比亚扩大了英语词汇量。此事发生在过去,故填enriched,表示“使丰富”。19考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,指代先行词dictionary,并在从句中作主语,故用that/which。【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第10小题中先行词为名词
31、dictionary,再分析先行词dictionary在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词dictionary带到从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词that/which。Part 3书面表达Dear friends,Im Li Hua, monitor of our class. On behalf of our class, Im much honored to give you a warm welcome.First, Id like to introduce our class. There are 50 students altogether, 23 boys and 27 girls

36、词造句,注意主谓一致和时态问题。第四步:连句成篇(文章纽带)运用一些衔接词语,即文章纽带,将连句成文。常用衔接词如下:1.表文章结构顺序:First of all, Firstly/First, Secondly/Second And then, Finally, In the end, At2.表并列补充关系:What is more, Besides, Moreover, Furthermore, In addition As well as, not onlybut (also), including,3.表转折对比关系:However, On the contrary, but, On
37、 the one hand,On the other hand Some,while others,as for, sothat 4.表因果关系:Because, As, So, Thus, Therefore, As a result 如果没必要运用这类衔接与过渡词语,心中也要有文章纽带贯穿的逻辑。第五步:润色修改最后,书写一定要规范。【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达方式,如短语on behalf of,a variety of,take part in;非谓语动词On behalf of our class, Im much honored to give you a warm welcome.宾语从句I hope well learn about each other and become friends through the communication.全文中没有中式英语的句式,也没有滥用一些作文套句,英语运用能力较高。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,通顺流畅。
