Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2017·海南省海口市第一中学检测)
During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The song's words told of the hardship that people suffered. They clapped their hands and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.
In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm. Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the banjo in the blues music.
The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notes are often “bent”. That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.
Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often about the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. They tell about finding and losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The third line has different words.
By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans moved to Chicago. There, a new kind of “Chicago” blues began. The new music was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music style －rock and roll.

This wasn't __3__ first time Lina had taken too many pills. I knew she would sleep deeply for about twelve hours __4__ the poison had stopped doing its harm.
I sat down by Lina's side and watched her sleep. The room was quiet. I looked around. The room seemed familiar. “Have I been here before？” I wondered. I looked around. “I'm sure I've been in this room，” I told myself. Then I remembered. It was in this very room __5__ I gave birth __6__ Lina seventeen years ago. __7__ happy I was then!
Lina used to be such a bright, __8__ (health) and nice child. “What has turned her into a dopetaker (吸毒者)？” I asked myself. “And why are millions of young people like her __9__ (take)dope to destroy themselves? There must be something __10__ (serious) wrong with our society. What is it？”
答案与解析
作者的女儿吸毒进入了医院。作者感到很困惑：为什么这么多年轻人吸毒呢？
1．myself 考查反身代词。by oneself意为“单独，独自”，是固定短语。
2．sleeping 考查非谓语动词。该空和谓语动词lay之间没有连词，故要用分词。Lina和lie之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。
3．the 考查冠词。表示“第……”，序数词前常加定冠词the。“the first time”意为“第一次”。
4．until
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
/before 考查连词。句意：我知道她会睡上大约12个小时，直到(在……之前)毒药停止发挥作用。由句意可知，该空填连词until/before引导时间状语从句。
5．that 考查强调句式。去掉it was和该空，剩下的是完整句子，故该句是强调句式，该空要填that。
6．to 考查介词。“give birth to sb.”意为“生……”，是固定搭配。
7．How 考查感叹句。句意：我多么高兴啊！what和how都可以引导感叹句。what修饰名词。how后面跟形容词或副词。该空后面是happy(adj.)，故该句用How引导。
8．healthy 考查形容词。修饰名词child用形容词。
9．taking 考查谓语动词。句意：为什么数百万像她那样的年轻人吸毒来毁掉自己呢？该句是现在进行时态，故该空填现在分词taking。
10．seriously 考查副词。修饰形容词wrong用副词。
