二、语篇语法填空（共10小题）
English is the international working language so it is 1 ． (wide) used in the world. English has
gone through three periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English.
In the fifth century, three Germanic groups — the Anglos, the Saxons and the Jutes invaded (入侵)
Britain and they spoke similar languages, which developed into 2． we now call Old English.
Unlike Old English, Middle English can 3 ． (read), although with difficulty, by modern
English-speaking people. Many factors contributed to (促成) the 4 ． (develop) of Middle English.
However, in 1066, the Normans (法国诺曼底人) took control of England, 5． did not have the
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂same result that the Germanic invasion had about 600 year 6 ． (early). But French still had a big
influence on English. This led to even more pairs of similar words.
From the 16th century, the British 7． ( begin) to communicate with many peoples from around the
world. This meant many new words and phrases entered the language. Modern English, quite different from
Old English and Middle English, 8． (contain) many Latin and Greek words. As we all know,
people will keep 9 ． (invent) new words and English will be changing over 10 ． time.
【答案与解析】
1. 考查副词。句意：英语是一种国际工作语言所以它在世界被广泛应用。用副词 widely修饰动词
used，故填widely。
2. 考查名词性从句。句意：在十五世纪，三个日耳曼民族—盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人入侵了
英国，他们说相同的语言，这后来发展为我们所称为的古英语。名词性从句“______ we now call
Old English”中缺少宾语且指物，故填what。
3. 考查被动语态。句意：不像古英语，现代英语是可以被说现代英语的人读出来的，尽管有难度。
动词read和Middle English之间属于被动关系，且置于情态动词之后。故填be read。
4. 考查名词。句意：许多因素促成了中古英语的发展。the+名词+of为固定搭配，所以用名词
development，故填development。
5. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：但是在 1066年，法国诺曼底人控制了英国，但是并没有带来同
样的结果…非限制性定语从句“_____ did not have the same result”中缺少主语且代指前面一整句话，
故填which。
6. 考查副词比较级。句意：但是在1066年，法国诺曼底人控制了英国，但是并没有带来和 600年
前日耳曼人侵略带来的同样的结果。日耳曼人侵略比法国诺曼底人早 600年，所以用比较级，故填
earlier。
7. 考查时态。句意：从16世纪开始，英国人开始和来自全世界的很多人交流。根据状语从句 From
the 16th century可知，动作发生在过去，且begin为短暂性动词，所以用过去式，故填began。
8. 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：现代英语和古英语与中古英语相当不同，包含了许多拉丁语和希
腊语。主语Modern English是第三人称单数，且陈述客观事实用一般现在时，故填contains。
9. 考查动名词。句意：我们都知道，人们会一直发明新的词汇，英语将会一直在改变。keep doing
sth意为“一直做某事”，为固定搭配，故填inventing。
10. 考查冠词。句意：我们都知道，人们会一直发明新的词汇，英语在这期间将会一直在改变。
over the time意为“在这段时间期间”，the表示特指。故填the。

三、阅读理解（共4小题）
I speak Spanish, because I was born in Spain. But then at primary school I had to learn Russian, and at
high school, I was taught how to speak German. But I always wanted to speak English.
At last I came to America. Everywhere there was English! But even if I heard and felt its presence, it
was hard for me to understand it and express myself in it. The few lessons of English that I had taken in
Spain gave me only a chance to introduce myself, and I didn’t even know how to buy things and ask
directions.
To talk to somebody, I went to a high school to take a course in English for foreigners.
Disappointingly, it took almost an hour to get through the process of introducing ourselves. Everyone had
to learn something that I had already known from my books – the English alphabet (字母表) and numbers.
I thought it was a waste of time, so I quit.
After a month, I tried again, but this time at college. After 15 minutes of introducing ourselves, a
teacher gave us a lecture about the history of English. Then we were told that it was very important to know
English in an English-speaking country. It took three hours for the teacher to tell us this. Again, I quit.
But I didn’t stop looking for something or someone that would help me to achieve my goal, and I
found a tutor from Literacy Volunteers of America. But I still wasn’t happy with the classes. And when it
was my turn to give a speech, I was happy to use all the long, complicated words that I had learned from
one of my English books. When I had finished, my tutor said “Well, I think I have to learn English before
coming to teach you!” This time, the tutor quit!
1．How many languages has the writer learned?
A．Two. B．Four. C．Three. D．Five.
2．Why did the author leave the high school?
A．Because no one wanted to talk to him.
B．Because everyone had to learn the English alphabet and numbers.
C．Because the lessons were too easy.
D．Because the courses were prepared for the natives.
3．Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?
A．happy. B．crazy. C．serious. D．friendly.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂4．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The writer learnt many foreign languages.
B．The writer tested the teachers’ English abilities.
C．The writer researched different ways of learning English.
D．The writer tried to look for a proper way to learn English.
【答案与解析】
1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I speak Spanish, because I was born in Spain. But then at primary
school I had to learn Russian, and at high school, I was taught how to speak German. But I always wanted
to speak English.”可知，作者母语是西班牙语，小学学习俄语，高中学习德语，但作者一直想说英
语，所以作者学了四种语言。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Everyone had to learn something that I had already known from my
books – the English alphabet (字母表) and numbers. I thought it was a waste of time, so I quit.”可知，作
者想学的英语课程其内容太简单，作者认为是浪费时间，所以离开了高中。故选 C。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句“I thought it was a waste of time, so I quit.”、第四段最后
一句“Again, I quit.”和第五段最后一句“This time, the tutor quit!”等对作者求学过程的描述中可推断
出，作者求学的过程是认真的。故选C。
4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，整个文章讲述作者寻找学习英语的正确途径而作出的努力。
故选D。
B
I sat down to read beneath an old maple tree in the park，disillusioned with life，for the world was
getting me down.And if that wasn't enough to ruin my day，a young boy approached me，out of breath
from running.He stood right before me with his head lowered down and said with great excitement，“See
what I found！”
In his hand was a flower.What a pitiful sight! Its petals (花瓣) were all worn.Wanting him to take his
dead flower and go off to play，I faked a small smile and then turned away.But instead of leaving，he sat
by my side，placed the flower to his nose and said with surprise，“It sure smells pretty and it's
beautiful，too.That's why I picked it; here，it's for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead.But I knew I must take it，or he might never leave.So I
reached for the flower and replied，“Just what I need.”But instead of him placing the flower in my
hand，he held it in midair without reason.It was then that I noticed for the very first time that the boy was
blind.
I heard my voice tremble as I thanked him for picking the very best one.“You're welcome，” he
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂smiled，and then ran off to play.I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a selfpitying woman
beneath an old maple tree perhaps from his heart，he'd been blessed with true sight.
Through the eyes of a blind child，at last I could see the problem was not with the world；the
problem was me.And I determined to see beauty and appreciate every second that's mine.I held that flower
up to my nose and smiled as that boy was about to change the life of an old man with another flower in his
hand.

Inventing campfire stories for children is easier than you might think.Use these easy tips for telling
campfire stories that will entertain and delight children of all ages.
__16__
When telling campfire stories to children，include a bunch of fun and strange names for the
characters.If it is a humorous story，don't be afraid to use silly things for names，like Snickers or Twix.If
it is a scary story，you can use names like Mr.Blue Toes or Mrs.Scissor Arms.
Include animal characters
Campfire stories are often the best when they include animals，especially ones that can be found in
the woods.Ideas of animals to include are hears，mountain lions，deer，and squirrels.You try to make the
bears gentle and the squirrels or deer the more aggressive(好斗的) ones.__17__
Take turns
No one says that a campfire story has to be told hy one person from beginning to end.Take
turns.__18__ This will often result in unforeseen twists and induce tons of laughter.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Change your voice

【语篇解读】 讲篝火故事可以给孩子们带来快乐，而编故事比你想象的要容易得多，本文介

也要有创造性，故选D。]

19．G [空前一句意为“给孩子们讲篝火故事时不要用单一的语调”，空处阐明这样做的后果：
这样甚至会把一个最好的故事讲得枯燥无味。所以选G。]
20．A [空格后说：一旦你开始讲故事，孩子们可能会请求你讲更多，直到你把嗓子都讲疼了。
所以要做准备，故选A。]
Ⅳ.语法填空
四、语篇语法填空（共10小题）
Few words 1 ． (speak) more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”. This
phrase has become such a common 2 ． (respond) that it has taken on a lot of meanings.
Sorry means to apologize. This is simple and easy to understand. But in Britain, it takes on another
meaning. It is a 3 ． (culture) expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, 4 ．
(look) down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction toward the man. She sees him, but

not enjoy conflict. So to quickly calm the situation. British people will apologize to each other.
Other times 8 ． may sound funny to hear “sorry”: Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as
they ask the waiter: “Sorry, but can I order another drink?” It is not to apologize, 9 ． just to express
that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn’t always mean 10 ． (exact) what you think.
【答案与解析】
1. 考查被动语态。分析句子成分可知，动词“speak”在句中作谓语，与主语“Few words”之间是被
动关系，应该用被动语态：be+动词过去分词；主语“Few words”是复数，故谓语也用复数；根据
时间状语“every day”可知，时态为一般现在时。故填are spoken。
2. 考查名词。such修饰名词。根据空前关键词such，可知此空填名词。故将动词respond变成名词
形式response。故填response。
3. 考查形容词。形容词修饰名词。此空修饰名词 expression，故将名词culture变成形容词形式
cultural。故填cultural。
4. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，动词“look”在句中作非谓语，与逻辑主语“a man”之间
是主动关系，故应该用动词的现在分词形式。故填looking。
5. 考查动词时态。句意：这个男人撞到了这个女人。谁应该说对不起呢？由语境和上文动词形式
“She sees him”可知，时态为一般现在时。故填knocks。
6. 考查宾语从句连接词。句意：自然，是这个男人应该说对不起，因为是他没有看路（他将要去
哪里）。分析句子成分可知，“___6___ he was going”在句中作look的宾语，是宾语从句，由句意
可知此处用where引导。故填where。
7. 考查固定结构。句型it is +形容词+for sb. to do sth.意为“对某人来说，做某事是······”。此处符
合句型结构it is +形容词+for sb. to do sth.。故填for。
8. 考查代词it。分析句子成分可知，句子真正的主语是“to hear “sorry””，此空作形式主语，故用it
代替to do 不定式作形式主语。故填it。
9. 考查连词。句意：它不是道歉，而仅仅是表示我们需要服务生。固定结构 not···but···意为“不
是······而是······”。故填but。
10. 考查副词。副词作状语，通常用来修饰动词、句子等。分析句子成分可知，此空修饰宾语从句
“what you think”，应用副词形式，故将形容词exact变成副词exactly。故填exactly。
V.书面表达
