语篇解读 乔治·华盛顿是美国历史上第一位总统，也是刻入拉什莫尔山国家纪念公园的四位伟大的总统之一。美国人民非常崇拜华盛顿，将他的诞辰纪念日定于二月份的第三个星期一。
2．答案 Before
解析 考查连词。根据语境可知，他在当选总统之前，在军队中起着重要作用。故填入从属连词before。
3．答案 leading
8
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处表示他在军中担任要职，他领导的美国大陆军于1783年战胜英军。主语he与动词lead之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作伴随状语。
4．答案 known
解析 考查形容词。由语境和句式结构分析，空格处缺少形容词，表示“知名的”。结合提示词可知应填known。此处表示华盛顿通常被看作美国之父，他也可能是美国最著名的政治家。
5．答案 him
解析 考查代词。根据语境分析，介词of后缺少宾语，且此处指代华盛顿，故用him。
7．答案 are named
解析 考查动词时态和语态。本段的主体时态为一般现在时，且此处没有明确的表示其他时态的时间状语，由此可分析，此处应用一般现在时，而句中的主语“three universities”与动词name之间存在动宾关系，故应用一般现在时的被动语态，即are named。
8．答案 originally
解析 考查词性转换。由空后的held可知，此处应用形容词original的副词形式修饰动词，即originally。
9．答案 third
解析 考查序数词。根据语境和上文的定冠词the可判断出，此处应填入基数词three的序数词，即third。在1971年，这一节日被移到了二月的第三个星期一。
10．答案 businesses
解析 考查名词单复数。根据文中的关键信息“other institutions...local governments”可判断出，此处应用名词的复数形式businesses，表示“多家私人企业”。

语篇解读 这篇文章主要讲了“第三文化的孩子们”这个术语的出现背景以及“第三文化的孩子们”的学习及心理现状。
11．答案 totally
解析 考查副词。修饰形容词different用副词，所以填totally。
13．答案 researching
解析 考查非谓语动词。research与其逻辑主语she之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式，填researching。
14．答案 their
解析 考查代词。用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，所以填their。
15．答案 difficulties
解析 考查名词单复数。many修饰可数名词的复数形式，所以填difficulties。
16．答案 to
解析 考查固定短语。adapt oneself to使自己适应，是固定短语，所以填to。
17．答案 to develop
解析 考查不定式。这里it是形式宾语，不定式是真正的宾语，所以填to develop。
18．答案 than
解析 考查语义理解。此外，对于一个“第三文化”的孩子来说，搬到一个其他国家比回到他们的祖国更容易。这里表示比较，所以填than。
8
19．答案 where
解析 考查定语从句。______ she was born是一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。
20．答案 or
解析 考查连词。她不知道任何关于当前的电视节目或者流行趋势。表示“或者”，所以填or。

How to Store Strawberries
You’ve scored some beautiful strawberries and brought them home with great care.You’ve washed a few and eaten them immediately，but what to do with the rest？__24__ These simple tips for storing strawberries guarantee the least waste：
First things first，don’t wash the strawberries until you’re ready to eat them.Strawberries are ready to absorb water.__25__
If you plan on eating or cooking with the berries within a day and it’s not too terribly hot in your kitchen，you can leave the strawberries out at room temperature.Put them in a pretty bowl within easy eyesight so people remember to eat them.
__26__ Take a shallow bowl or plate with a clean kitchen towel.Place the unwashed strawberries in more or less a single layer and refrigerate them.Stored this way，very fresh strawberries will keep for several days.The closer you can create this dry and unpressed situation，the better.__27__
If you’re not planning on using the strawberries within a few days，you’d better freeze them rather than keep them all fresh.Frozen strawberries are perfect for baking up in cakes，and other treats.__28__ They say frozen strawberries hold their shape better.Besides，whenever you have strawberries about to be not at their best，you can also place them in the freezer.By the end of strawberry season，you’ll likely have enough of them to make jam.
A．There are different answers to this question.
B．They say frozen ones are to be more easily stored.
C．Actually，many bakers prefer frozen berries to fresh ones.
