考察連詞。設(shè)空前后的

loseweight,

find

anewjob

和maybeeventake

thatvacation

是選擇關(guān)系，應(yīng)用連詞

or。or

“或許”。2．promises

考察名詞的數(shù)。設(shè)空前是

these,

故設(shè)空處應(yīng)填復(fù)數(shù)名詞。3．tokeep

考察非謂語動(dòng)詞。

failtodosth.

“不可以做某事”。4．recorded

考察非謂語動(dòng)詞。設(shè)空地方填詞在句中作定語修飾名詞

celebration

，應(yīng)用非謂語動(dòng)詞。record與celebration是邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作定語。the_earliest_recorded_celebration“最早的有記錄的慶賀儀式”。5．wereheld考察動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)語態(tài)和主謂一致。設(shè)空地方填謂語動(dòng)詞與and后的謂語動(dòng)詞lasted時(shí)態(tài)一致，應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)；主語events與hold是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，且謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填wereheld。hold(舉行)—held—held。6．a(chǎn)考察冠詞。makeachange“做出改變”。7．finally考察詞性變換。修飾謂語動(dòng)詞introduced應(yīng)用副詞，故填finally。8．which考察非限制性定語從句。非限制性定語從句的先行詞是theJuliancalendar，指物，定語從句中缺乏主語，故用關(guān)系代詞which指引非限制性定語從句。9．theirs考察代詞。設(shè)空地方填詞在句中作賓語，指代名詞theirresolutions,應(yīng)用名詞性物主代詞theirs。10．successful考察詞性變換。設(shè)空處在句中作表語，應(yīng)用形容詞，故填successful。be_successful_in_doing_sth._“成功地做某事”。詞匯微存participatein參加短文改錯(cuò)(2018·德陽診療)Lastsummervacationwasmymostpleasantone.MyparentsandIhadmadeatourtoXi'an.Insteadofhavingatravelagencyarrangingourtransportationandaccommodation,webookedthetrainticketsandhotelroomsontheInternetbyus.DuringourtourinXi'an,wewenttomanyplacesofinterestsandtooklotsofphotos,learnedaboutthehistoryofXi'an.NotouristswouldmissthelocalfoodinXi'an,sowouldwe.Weenjoyedthetypicallocalfood,ittastedmoredeliciousthanwehadexpected.HardlyhadIreturnedthanIsharedthephotosandexperiencesformyclassmates.ThetriptoXi'anhasbeensuchhappymemorytomethatIwillneverforgetit.答案與分析Lastsummervacationwasmymostpleasantone.MyparentsandIhad＼madeatour①toXi'an.Insteadofhavingatravelagencyarrangingourtransportationand②arrangeaccommodation,webookedthetrainticketsandhotelroomsontheInternetbyus.③ourselvesDuringourtourinXi'an,wewenttomanyplacesofinterestsandtooklotsofphotos,④interestlearnedaboutthehistoryofXi'an.NotouristswouldmissthelocalfoodinXi'an,learningsowouldwe.Weenjoyedthetypicallocalfood,ittastedmoredeliciousthan⑥nor/neither⑦whichwehadexpected.HardlyhadIreturnedthanIsharedthephotosandexperiences⑧whenformyclassmates.ThetriptoXi'anhasbeensuch∧happymemorytomethatIwill⑨with⑩aneverforgetit.2①去掉had考察動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。短文表達(dá)的是昨年暑期的事情，應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)，故去掉had。②arranging→arrange考察非謂語動(dòng)詞。atravelagency與arrange是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，但不表示向來發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，故用不含to的不定式作賓補(bǔ)。③us→ourselves考察代詞。本句主語是we,故表示“靠我們自己”應(yīng)用byourselves。byoneself“靠自己”。④interests→interest考察名詞的數(shù)。placeofinterest“名勝”，該短語的復(fù)數(shù)形式是placesofinterest。⑤learned→learning考察非謂語動(dòng)詞。we與learn是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故用此刻分詞作狀語。⑥so→nor/neither考察倒裝句。后者和前者都能否認(rèn)的狀況時(shí)，應(yīng)用nor/neither指引倒裝句。⑦it→which考察定語從句。該句是定語從句，從句先行詞是thetypicallocalfood，指物，從句中缺乏主語，故用關(guān)系代詞which指引定語從句。⑧than→when考察固定句式。此處是hardly...when...“一就”句式。⑨for→with考察介詞。sharesth.withsb.“和某人分享某物”。⑩happy前加a考察冠詞。表“一個(gè)美好的回想”，應(yīng)用不定冠詞a表示泛指。閱讀七選五(2018·醴陵模擬)體裁：說明文話題：科普知識(shí)與現(xiàn)代技術(shù)難度：★★☆☆☆Whatisyourfavouritecolour?Doyoulikeyellow,orangeorred?__1__Doyouprefergraysorblues?Thenyouareprobablyquiet,shy,andyouwouldratherfollowus,andtheyshouldknow,becausetheyhavebeenseriouslystudyingthemeaningofcolourpreference,aswellastheeffectthatcolourshaveonhumanbeings.__2__Ifyouhappentolovebrown,youdidsoassoonasyouopenedyoureyes,oratleastassoonasyoucouldseeclearly.__3__Ayellowroommakesmostpeoplefeelmorecheerfulandmorerelaxedthanadarkgreenone;andareddressbringswarmthandcheertothesaddestwinterday.__4__AblackbridgeovertheThamesRiver,nearLondon,usedtobethesceneofmoresuicidesthananyotherbridgeinthearea—untilitwasrepaintedgreen.Thenumberofsuicideattemptsimmediatelyfellsharply.Perhapsitwouldhavefallenevenmoreifthebridgehadbeendoneinpinkorbabyblue.(說明黃色、紅色、粉色和淡藍(lán)色對情緒的踴躍作用)3__5__Itisanestablishedfactthatfactoryworkersworkbetter,harder,andhavefeweraccidentswhentheirmachinesarepaintedorangeratherthanblackorgray.A.Ontheotherhand,blackisdepressing.B.Theytellus,amongotherfacts,thatwedonotchooseourfavouritecolouraswegrowup—wearebornwithourpreference.C.Theroomsarepaintedindifferentcoloursasyoulike.D.Ifyoudo,youmustbeanoptimist,aleader,anactivepersonwhoenjoyslife,peopleandexcitement.E.Lightandbrightcoloursmakepeoplenotonlyhappierbutmoreactive.F.Lifeislikeapictureorapoem,fullofdifferentcolours.G.Coloursdoinfluenceourmoods—thereisnodoubtaboutit.答案與分析【語篇解讀】心理學(xué)家提示我們對顏色的愛好是與生俱來的，顏色能夠影響我們的心情。1．D空前一句提出喜愛黃色等亮色系的人，空后一句說明喜愛暗色的人的性格特色，故該空應(yīng)說明喜愛黃色、紅色等顏色的人的性格特色，應(yīng)選項(xiàng)D切合語境。2．B空后一句說明“假如你喜愛棕色，那么你一張開眼睛或一旦
