第一处:off→on。【解题思路】 由下文可知,此处是一个妇女刚上车,一个男人试图起来。 第二处:去掉had。【解题思路】 文章记叙的是过去发生的事,故用一般过去时。 第三处:perfect→perfectly。【解题思路】 修饰形容词应用副词。 第四处:a→the。【解题思路】 特指前面提到的妇女,故用定冠词。
第五处:her→his。【解题思路】 此处指妇女把她的手放在男人的肩膀上(阻止他为自己让座)。 第六处:So→But。【解题思路】 男人想起来,可是妇女不让,前后是转折关系,故用but。 第七处:force→forced。【解题思路】 动作发生在过去,故用一般过去时。
第八处:say→saying。【解题思路】 say与句子主语是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词做伴随状语。 第九处:block→blocks。【解题思路】 三个街区,所以用复数。
第十处:wanted后加to。【解题思路】 want to do sth.\想要做某事\是固定搭配。 第二节 书面表达
【范文赏读】
A survey about the relationship between students and teachers,family members or classmates is being made by a research study group of our school. Generally speaking,we are getting on well with each other. However,there exist some problems. Some students are easy to lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden. Sometimes they are too self-centered. What",s worse,they sometimes quarrel with others,and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers and speak against their parents and teachers,which is very disappointing.
In my opinion,we middle school students should make our efforts to improve the situation. First,we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates. Second,when we are not feeling happy,we can have a heart-to-heart chat with our friends or teachers or even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice. 附:听力参考材料 Text 1
M: Would you like to go to the mountain with us on Friday?
W: I would enjoy that very much if I didn",t have to take an exam on Saturday. I think I",d better stay home and study. Text 2
M: Do you think that you can have these shirts finished by Friday morning?
W: I",m sorry. I couldn",t possibly get them done by then. Saturday afternoon would be the earliest you could have them. Text 3
M: Have you heard Mr. Brown will have to have the operation?
W: That",s what I want to tell you. When I visited the hospital this afternoon, I learned they had finished the operation around 8:30. The doctor seems to think that Mr. Brown is going to be all right now. Text 4
M: Do you remember the ceilings in the old flats?
W: Sure. They were very high and gave you a feeling of a lot of space. I wonder what the height of the old ceilings was. M: At least 3 meters. But today",s flats usually have ceilings no higher than 2.7 meters, and some only 2.3. Text 5
W: Hi, John! Welcome back! What a day! M: I was really lucky with the weather. W: Good hotel?
M: Not too bad. Food was average, but I was right on the beach. You should have gone with me instead of camping in the mountain. Text 6
M: Maria, you look tired. Are you all right?
W: Well, yes...I am a bit tired actually. I haven",t been sleeping well these last couple of days. M: Is that because of the increased work load at the office? W: Yes, that",s probably the reason.
M: I bet you haven",t been getting enough exercise, huh? W: Hardly any. I can",t afford the time. I am engaged all day long. M: Yon must make time. You must do more exercise. Text 7
M: Good morning, Dr. Ellis, good to see you again. Where are you off to this time?
W: Well, I have to be down in New Orleans at the end of this week. Is there still room on any of the flights? M: I",ll see. When do you want to leave? W: Thursday night or Friday morning at the latest.
M: I",ll see what",s available. Yes, there are still a few seats available but it",s the last flight on Thursday night leaving New York at 9: 45. W: Well, when would we arrive in New Orleans? M: Just before midnight, 11: 55.
W: Not ideal, but it could be worse. Reserve a seat for me on that one, then. M: Gladly, are you still traveling for business this time?
W: I",m supposed to attend a medical conference over the weekend, but I hope I",ll have a chance to get in some jazz, too. I",ve always been a great jazz fan.
M: OK. I",ve made you a reservation. Shall I bill your credit as usual? W: Yeah, that",s fight. M: Have a good trip. W: Thank you. Text 8
W: Did you go out today?
M: With my bad luck, what good would it have done if I",d gone out? W: If you",d looked for a job, you might have found one.
M: But I",ve been looking for over a year. Today wouldn",t have been any different. W: I know how bad you feel. But if you don",t keep on looking, you",ll never get a job. M: If I",d stayed in Snowdon in the first place, I wouldn",t have had so much trouble.
W: What would you have done? There are more people out of work there than here. M: I could have had a farm of my own if I",d stayed there.
W: You, up in the mountains, with nobody to talk to but the chickens.
M: I don",t like the city. There are too many people. There",s too much noise, too much dust. W: I like it here.
M: Yes, because you were brought up here. This is really your home.
W: Well, maybe we should go to your hometown for a visit anyway. We could see your aunt and uncle. M: You really mean that? I",d like to see the island again and feel the sunshine there. Text 9
W: Hello, I",d like to speak to Mr. Hill, please. M: Hill speaking.
W: This is Kate Morrison. You remember me, don",t you? M: Of course. I do. What",s the matter? Has anything happened?
W: I don",t want to trouble you, but I",m worried. We",ve got examinations next month. M: Oh, I see. Well, everybody worries about examinations.
W: But I may fail, and my parents may want me to go back to Canada. They may not send me any more money.
M: You won",t fail, though of course you may fail if you don",t work at all. You must begin right away. One of your teachers was talking to me about you. You can pass the examinations. W: Are you sure?
M: Of course, I am. If you worry, you may fail, so you shouldn",t worry.
W: You",ve helped me a lot. I feel sure of myself now. Would you like to come to another party here tonight?
M: Another party? You must be mad. But thank you for the invitation. I",ll come if I can. Of course, you won",t pass the examinations if you have parties every night. Text 10
On June 12th, Peter had a surprise when he woke up in the morning. He found that the floor of his room was flooded. When he looked out of the window, he saw many cars upside down in the street. It was a sad day for Peter",s hometown, which is a mountain city. In the twenty-four hours up to noon, nearly seventeen inches of rain had fallen. Usually about sixteen inches of rain falls in the whole month of June. Roads in the high area were washed away. Tons of mud and rocks crashed down on the houses below. Sixty-four people died in the flood and more than 2,500 people lost their homes. For some time after the flood,helicopters continued to rescue people. Tractors and lorries worked hard to clear away the rocks and earth. Many people sent money and life necessities to the victims of the flood and helped them rebuild their hometown.
