50.Such本文為記敘文。主要講述了作者學習英語的經(jīng)歷。作者開始學高級英語時感覺很難。后來的在英語老師的幫助下，認識到英語的重要性，開始多讀多參加課外活動，英語水平有了很大的提高。【41題詳解】考查謂語動詞的時態(tài)。句意：我現(xiàn)在是班上的好學生。但你不知道當我剛開始學高級英語的時候，我覺得很難學。分析語境可知，本句中的講述的是剛開始時，是過去，故用started【42題詳解】考查形容詞作賓補。分析句子可知，本句中的動詞differ在句中作it的賓語補足語，根據(jù)前面的difficult可知，本空要填形容詞，故用different。【43題詳解】考查冠詞。用the特指上文提到的那位老師。故填the。【44題詳解】考查定語從句。分析句子shealwaystriedtobetheone

____4____classesweremadeactiveandlivelywithsomestoriesandexamples可知，本句是定語從句。whose指代先行詞theone，在定語從句中放在classes前面做定語。句意：因為她總是試圖通過一些故事和例子來活躍她的課堂。表示人的，物的，要用“whose”，故填whose?！?5題詳解】考查固定詞級。withthehelpof為固定詞組，意為“在…的幫助下”，故填With?！?6題詳解】考查名詞。分析句子可知，形容詞important作為動詞realize的賓語，作賓語要用名詞形式importance。故填importance?！?7題詳解】考查虛擬語氣。句意：我的老師建議如果我們想提高英語水平的話，我們應該多讀。suggest(建議)后面的句子使用虛擬語氣（should）+動詞原形，其中的should可以省略，故填(should)read。【48題詳解】考查連詞。句意：我的老師建議如果我們想提高英語水平的話，我們應該多讀。因此我每天都要讀書。分析前后的句意可知，前后是因果關(guān)系，故填so?！?9題詳解】考查非謂語作后置定語。句意：但更有價值的是在學校課外活動中學到的東西。分析句子的成分可知，本句中的表語是thelessons，后面的learninextracurricularactivitiesinschool做lessons的后置定語，即thelessons與learn是被動關(guān)系,因此要用過去分詞做定語，故用learned?！?0題詳解】考查固定搭配。分析句子IhavemadesuchgreatprogressinmyEnglishstudythatIammoreinterestedinlearningitthanbefore.可知，本句中考查”如此…以致于….”,而progress是不可數(shù)名詞，只能用such修飾名詞，故填Such。三、閱讀理解21.閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。Socialnetworkingwebsitesarecausingalarmingchangesinthebrainsofyoungusers,afamousscientisthaswarned．SitessuchasFacebook,TwitterandBeboaresaidtoshortenattentionspans（幅度）,encourageinstantsatisfactionandmakechildrenmoreself-centered．
