I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work
before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on.
The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities?
Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)?
Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was
thrilled and transported by a book—it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises—and I just needed to be alone with it for
a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t
bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the
1920s with a bunch of expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role –as a daughter,
sister, teenager, and student— in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to
perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was
in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was
downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I
was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the
way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.
4. Why did the author skip school on that day?
A. Because her parents left home early.
B. Because it was a cold winter morning.C. Because she was fascinated by a novel.
D. Because she hated to take the biology exam.
5. What did the author think is the source of true joy?
A. Reading by the fire. B. Travelling in Spain.
C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one’s passion.
6. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph?
A. Entering. B. Destroying.
C. Mending. D. Blocking.
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. I was tired of my real-life roles.
B. I learnt how to write on the internet.
C. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot.
D. Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
本文为记叙文。作者小时候被海明威的《太阳也会升起》吸引,从此沉浸于小说美妙的语言中。海明威的
语言风格慢慢地影响着作者,引导他走上了文学之路。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。文章第一段的“I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time.”根据文章第三段中“I was
thrilled and transported by a book…and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while”, 第一次逃学的时候我
16 岁,是因为我被一本书所激动,我只想和它单独呆一会儿。可知作者被一本小说吸引了,故选 C。
【5 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become
completely absorbed by something I loved” 我偶然发现了通往完美幸福的钥匙:我完全被我所爱的东西吸引。
可知作者认为真正快乐的源泉是沉浸于自己所爱的东西中。分析选项可知 D 符合题意,故选 D。
【6 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“ I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in
that state of absorption.” 我可以看到一些微妙的事情出现在我的头脑和我的生活中,而我正处于吸收它的状
态中。以及下文“I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid
plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate.” 我下载
的信息是关于如何创建简单优雅的句子,一个良好而坚实的情节。换句话说,我在学习如何写作。没有意识到,我在追寻自己的命运。由上下文内容可以推断出“海明威的语言风格在潜移默化之中影响了我对语言
的感悟”,可知“Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination.”即海明威的语言风格进入
(enter)我的想象中,即影响了我,故选 A 项。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was
downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I
was learning how to write” 海明威的语言悄悄地编织在我的想象中。我下载的信息是关于如何写出简单优雅
的句子,一个良好而坚实的情节。换句话说,我在学习如何写作。,可推断出海明威的风格对我影响很大。
故选 C。
C
Anyone who commutes (通勤) by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not
alone in facing potential backups.
Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on doing
this efficiently.
When humans commute, there’s a point at which cars become dense (稠密) enough to slow down the flow of
traffic, causing jam. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to know if ants
on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between
a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. “The goal was to try to find out at
what point they are going to have a traffic jam.” said Sebastien Motsch.
But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow of ants did increase
at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then levelled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or
stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.
The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. And
they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which
prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The
ants also manage to avoid colliding (碰撞) with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The
study is in the journal eLife.
Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That’s because when it comes to
getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be
more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for
self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans—and more like ants.8. What does the underlined word “this” in para.2 refer to?
A. Surviving. B. Commuting.
C. Finding food. D. Avoiding jams.
9. How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?
A. By finding out the dense points. B. Through closer observation.
C. By controlling the widths of their path. D. By regulating their numbers.
10. According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because ________.
A. they follow a special route.
B. they level off at high densities.
C. they never stop or slow down on the way.
D. they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds.
11. What is the best title of the passage?
A Traffic jams. B. Unavoidable? Not for ants!
C. Survival of an ant colony. D. Difference between human and ants.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B

本文为议论文。我们生活中常会遇到交通拥挤的现象,蚁群中虽然蚂蚁很多,但是不会导致交通堵塞。本
文用事实证明了蚁群可以避开交通堵塞。
【8 题详解】
猜测词意题。第二段划线部分“this”的所在语境“Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food.The
survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently”蚂蚁也在它们的巢穴和食物来源之间往返。蚂蚁的殖
民地的生存有效地依赖于“this”,由此可知,蚂蚁要生存就要依赖于“Ants also commute”。 可知,this 是指蚂
蚁的“commuting”,故选 B。
【9 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a
colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched.” 因此,他们通过在一群阿根廷蚂蚁
群和食物来源之间建造不同宽度的桥梁来调节交通密度,然后等着观察。可推断出,研究人员是通过控制
蚁群的路的宽度来控制蚁群的密度的。故选 C。
【10 题详解】
.细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and
avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones,
chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell
other ants where a trail is.” 他们发现,当蚂蚁感觉到过度拥挤时,它们会调整速度,避免进入高密度区域,从
而避免拥堵。这些行为可能是由信息素引起的,信息素是一种化学物质,可以告诉其他蚂蚁路线的位置。
可推断出蚂蚁可以避免交通堵塞的主要原因是它们依靠化学物质来调整速度。由此可知,选 D。
【11 题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段提出人类上下班遇到交通堵塞是不可避免的。而蚂蚁也会往返于巢穴与食物源之
间。那么蚂蚁遇到交通阻塞也是不可避免的吗?从第三段至倒数第二段研究者用实验证明,蚂蚁不会的,
因为蚂蚁可用分泌的信息素通知同伴调整速度,进而避免拥堵现象出现。因此最佳标题应该为 B 项。故选
B。
【点睛】选择标题在英语阅读理解中属于主旨大意题,是一种深层理解题。要求考生在通读全文的基础上,
认真分析文章大意及作者的写作意图。通常情况下,标题要有根据性,针对性和醒目性的特点。所谓概括
性,就是指标题应最大程度上覆盖全文,囊括文章的主要内容,体现文章的主题。针对性就是对标题外延
的一种界定,标题要直接指向文章的主要特点。而醒目性是为了吸引了读者的注意,唤起读者对文章阅读
的兴趣。
确定最佳标题的方法。在阅读文章时,要注意文章中反复出现的或强调的信息,寻找与文章大多数内
容相关的信息。找出覆盖全文的核心词汇。如第 4 小题属于主旨大意题。文章第一段提出人类上下班遇到
交通堵塞是不可避免的。而蚂蚁也会往返于巢穴与食物源之间。那么蚂蚁遇到交通阻塞也是不可避免的吗?
从第三段至倒数第二段研究者用实验证明,蚂蚁不会的,因为蚂蚁可用分泌的信息素通知同伴调整速度,
进而避免拥堵现象出现。因此最佳标题应该为 B 项。故选 B。
D
Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn’t have imagined life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars,
cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions
of dozens of things we used to think were essential.
The smartphone story could even be a model for fighting climate change; not because smartphones use a small
part of the energy of all the things they replace—although they do—but because they represent a different approach
to design in general. And that approach is to focus on function rather than form. That requires focusing on
understanding the underlying problem, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. This approach could
revolutionize how we think about energy efficiency.
Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD
player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the standalone devices at all,
because it can function as all of them.
So when it comes to using energy efficiently, rather than just installing a more efficient heater, some people have
focused instead on the desired function: staying warm. They designed and coated their house so well that they could
get rid of their heater altogether, letting them heat their house with 99% less energy.
In the same way, rather than just making cars more efficient, what if we focus on the desired function—getting
where we want when we want—and create an efficient transportation system where we can drive less or get rid of our
personal cars entirely?
The most energy efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm.
In other words, it’s not thinking efficient, it’s thinking different.
12. What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection?
A. Perfecting individual devices.
B. Combining possible functions.
C. Adopting a minimalist design.
D. Reducing the energy consumption.
13. According to the passage, what is the core of improving energy efficiency?
A. Using recyclable materials.
B. Revolutionizing technologies.
C. Figuring out various solutions.
D. Concentrating on the essential needs.
14. What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?
A. Out-of-date. B. Ineffective.
C. Adequate. D. Successful.
15. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Think out of the box. B. Differences make it unique.
C. Be economical with energy. D. Step out of the comfort zone.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。在 21 世纪初,许多人无法想象没有闹钟、CD 播放器、日历、相机或许多其他设备的生活是什么样的。但随着 iPhone 和其他智能手机的出现,它们取代了我们过去认为必不可少的几十种功能。这
也彻底改变了我们对能源效率的看法。能源效应注重于人们的基本需求,创造一个高效的交通系统,尽可
能地节约能源。
【12 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of dozens of things
we used to think were essential”和第二段中的“smartphones…represent a different approach…to focus on function
rather than form”两处可知:iPhone 和其他智能手机取代了我们过去认为必不可少的几十种功能,智能手机
注重的是功能。由此可推断出智能手机成为环保的典范是因为它们是许多功能的组合。故选 B。
【13 题详解】
推断判断题。第三段“Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices,
which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better
alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the
standalone devices at all, because it can function as all of them” 传统上,能源效率的提高主要集中在单个设备上,
这可能是非常有效的。但是专注于个人设备就像苹果公司花精力发明了一个更好的闹钟,一个更好的 CD 播
放器,一个更好的日历,和一个更好的相机。现在有了 iPhone,我们根本不需要单独的设备,因为它可以
像所有设备一样工作。结合第四段中具体例子“So when it comes to using energy efficiently, rather than just
installing a more efficient heater, some people have focused instead on the desired function”, 因此,当谈到高效利
用能源,而不仅仅是安装一个更有效的加热器,相反提一些人更注重想要的功能。由此可推断出,提高能
源效率的核心是注重于人们的基本需要。分析选项可知 D 项符合题意,故选 D。
【14 题详解】
推理判断题。从文章第三段“Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual
devices, which can be quite fruitful.” 传统上,能源效率的提高主要集中在单个设备上,这是非常有成效的。可
以推断出作者对于传统的做法持认可的态度。结合本段最后一句话 “Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the
standalone devices at all, because it can function as all of them” 现在有了 iPhone,我们根本不需要独立的单个设
备,因为它可以像所有设备一样工作。由此可推断出作者更加推崇当前新的发展趋势,而传统的做法有点
过时了,故选 A。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段对于全文进行了总结,其中最后一句“…it’s not thinking efficient, it’s thinking
different” 这不是有效的思考,而是不同的思考。本句点明了文章带来的启示即要跳出思维的框框,就是要
打破常规。分析选项(A. Think out of the box. 打破常规;B. Differences make it unique. 差异使它独一无二;
C. Be economical with energy 节约能源;D. Step out of the comfort zone 走出舒适区),可知 A 项符合题意,故选 A。
【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存,
推理是为了得出正确的判断,正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。如第 3 小题属于推理判断题。从文章
第三段“Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices, which can be
quite fruitful.” 传统上,能源效率的提高主要集中在单个设备上,这是非常有成效的。可以推断出作者对于
传统的做法持认可的态度,但是结合本段最后一句话 “Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the standalone
devices at all, because it can function as all of them” 现在有了 iPhone,我们根本不需要独立的单个设备,因为
它可以像所有设备一样工作。由此可推断出作者更加推崇当前新的发展趋势,而传统的做法有点过时了,
故选 A。
根据事实细节,才能推断出合理信息。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定判断
和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话,也可是某几句
话,但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据,既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理,也不能根据
表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说,要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者
的本意,切忌片面思考,得出片面结论。

【解析】
本文为说明文。文章叙述了在新年如何制定关于管理时间的新年计划。工作日外要有自己的私人时间,用
于做自己喜欢做的事。人的精力是有限的,不能尽力照顾每一个人,要关心最亲近的人。到了年底你会感
激自己的。
【16 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。第一段第一句“You likely already have too many goals and too many
disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but
also a bit forbidding.” 从去年开始,你可能已经有太多的目标和太多的失望。所以当你展望 2020 年,添加更
多的想法似乎有点令人兴奋,但也有点令人生畏。下面说这就是我建议你反其道而行之(you do the
opposite): ___1___”。文中冒号起到解释说明作用,“do the opposite”对应上文提到“the idea of adding more”,
与增加更多的想法相反的就是不去做多的计划,分析选项可知,可知 A 项 Resolve to do less(决心少点)符
合题意。故选 A。
【17 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本文的小标题“know less”知道的少点。上句“It’s okay not to be up-to-date
on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone.” 不了
解每件事的最新进展也没关系。为了减少这些干扰,你可以关掉手机上的社交媒体通知。以及后面的
“Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly.” 取消订阅你不经常阅读的通知邮
件或时事通讯。这些都是呼应上文提到的减少社交媒体干扰,分析选项可知 E 项 Alternatively, you could offload the apps altogether(或者,你也可以完全卸载应用程序)中用“Alternatively”提出另外一种解决方案,
即把应用程序卸载了,也就了解的少了,可知 E 项符合题意,故选 E。
【18 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。针对前文“you may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your
friends and family and to serve your clients well” 你可能想成为一个善良体贴的人,为您的朋友和家人,并为您
的客户提供良好的服务。结合空后“What that means is that you say “No” a lot.”意味着多拒绝。可知,结合本段
的小标题为“care less(少关心点)”。可知,本段就是要求你少点关心。分析选项可知,G 项 But you can’t care
about everyone who wants your attention professionally.(但你不能关心每个想要你专门关心的人)与少点关心
意义一致。把本句放入句中,即:但你不能关心每个想要你专门关心的人,这意味着你经常说“不”。可知,
意义上是一致的,故选 G。
【19 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。前文“I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during
the day” 我星期一到星期五白天都在为顾客服务。后文又提到“Being able to unplug from work in my personal
time” 能够在我的私人时间里从工作中解脱出来。可知,没有必要一周七天都要工作。要用自己的私人时间。
分析选项可知,D 项 But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7(但是我觉得没有必要一周七天,一天 24 小
时都要为客户服务)符合题意,由此故而中间需要 D 项作为衔接。故选 D。
【20 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空格后的“I can match my time with my highest priorities and take
better care of the people closest to me.” 我可以将我的时间做我的最优先要做的事,更好地照顾与我最亲近的人。
因此可知,不能在乎别人要你做什么,而要做你最想做的事,照顾你最想照顾的人。这也呼应前面的小标
题“Care less”提出的新年心愿。分析选项可知 F 项 I resolve to care less about what others want me to do(我决
心不去在乎别人想让我做什么)符合语境可知,可知 F 项符合题意,故选 F。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Having a vegan diet might sound hard. However, in recent years, veganism (纯素食主义) has become one of

According to HuffPost, more than 3 million people in the United States are vegans. In the UK, about 542,000
people ____42____ (choose) veganism over the past decade.

45. higher 46. that

【解析】
本文为新闻纯素食主义风已成为世界上生活方式的时尚。人们之所以选择纯素食是想保护环境,另一个原
因是许多当今的年轻人认为杀动物为食是错误的。
【41 题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但近年来,纯素食主义成为了全球一种增长趋势最快的生活方式。one of 后面名词是特指,
要用定冠词 the,故填 the。
【42 题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意:据《赫芬顿邮报》报道,美国有超过三百万人都是纯素食主义者。在过去的十年
间,英国大约有 54.2 万人选择了素食。时间状语 over the past decade 句子要用现在完成时。故填 have chosen。
【43 题详解】
考查名词。句意:为何纯素食主义如此受欢迎?空格前有 this 修饰,与 this 一起做 drive 的宾语,要用 grow
的名词形式 growth。故填 growth。
【44 题详解】
考查系动词。句意:生产肉类和奶制品会给环境带来很大压力。本句的主语是动名词,单个的动名词作主
语,谓语用单数,而且表一般情况,因此本句要用 is,故用 is。
【45 题详解】
考查比较级。句意:这一数值比全球所有的汽车、火车、飞机加起来的温室气体排放总量还要高。后面有 than
需要用比较级。故填 higher。
【46 题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:另一个原因是,今天的许多年轻人认为为了食物而杀死动物是错误的。分析句子可
知,本句是表语从句,表语从句中不缺少成分,只缺少一个引导词,此时要用 that 引导表语从句。故填
that。
【47 题详解】
考查副词做状语。句意:对于许多人而言,纯素食主义仅仅意味着不吃肉、奶酪或者鸡蛋,但采取无动物
成分的做法同样适用于时尚业和制造业。此处用副词做状语。分析句子可知,空格处在句中修饰动词
means,修饰动词要用副词,故填 simply。
【48 题详解】
考查动词不定式做目的状语。句意:每年有超过 10 亿只动物被杀,用它们的皮做皮革制品。分析句子可知,
空格处在句中做目的状语,英语中一般用动词不定式做目的状语,故填 to make。
【49 题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:美国汽车制造公司特斯拉表示,将不再使用动物皮革制成的座椅。remove...from...为
固定搭配,意为“把……从……移除/去掉”。故填from。
【50 题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:因此,如果你想要保护动物、拯救环境,不妨试一下纯素食主义吧。in 是介词后面
接 doing。be interested in doing…为固定搭配,意为“对做……感兴趣”,in 后要用动词的-ing 形式,故填
protecting。

When I was studying in the UK, my school held a singing contest. I signed up although I really loved singing. I
sang with a boy named as Steve. He’s one of my best friend. Unfortunately, I forgot the lyrics for a moment while
they sang. I was standing onstage, look nervous. Not surprisingly, we lose the contest. I felt very sadly. Steve
comforted me by saying, “There will be another chance.” One week late, at our school’s art festival, we sang a song
together again. It was unforgettable and touching afternoon. I want to thank Steve, whom didn’t give up on me when
I felt down.
【答案】1. although→because/as/since
2. 去掉 as
3. friend→friends
4. they→we
5. look→looking
6. lose→lost
7. sadly→sad
8. late→later
9. unforgettable 前∧an
10. whom→who
【解析】
【分析】
本文为记叙文。主要叙述了作者和好朋友在歌唱比赛中由于自己忘记歌词而失败,后面在好朋友的鼓励下,
他们在一周后的学校艺术节是成功地演唱了一首歌,作者由此感谢好朋友。
【详解】1.考查语境及连词。句意:我在英国读书时,学校举办了一次歌唱比赛。我报名了,因为我真的很
喜欢唱歌。分析句子可知,前后句子是因果关系,而非转折关系,故把 although 改 为 because/as/since。
2. 考查固定用法。句意:我和一个叫史蒂夫的男孩一起唱歌。句中的 name 是及物动词,后面的 as 是多余
的,故去掉 as。
3. 考查名词的复数。句意:他是我最好的朋友之一。英语中常用 one of +名词复数,故把 friend 改为friends。
4. 考查人称的一致性。句意:我们唱歌的时候,我一时忘了歌词。分析语境可知,是“我”和史蒂夫,是我
们,而不是他们,故把 they 改为 we。
5.考查非谓语做状语。句意:我站在台上,看起来很紧张。分析句子 I was standing onstage, look nervous 可知,
本句是单句,其中的 look 在句中是伴随状语,其逻辑主语是 I,l 与系动词 look 二者是主动关系,故要用 look
的 ing 形式,故把 look 改为 looking。
6.考查一般过去时。句意:毫不奇怪,我们输了比赛。本文叙述是过去的事,要用一般过去时,故把 lose
改为 lost。
7. 考查形容词做表语。句意:毫不奇怪,我们输了比赛。我很难过。句中的 felt 是系动词,后面要用形容词
做表语,故把 sadly 改为 sad。
8. 考查语境。句意:一周后,在我们学校的艺术节上,我们又一起唱了一首歌。根据语境可知,此处是指
一周后。“later”意为“以后”, 指正在谈论的过去某个时间点之后,常和具体时间段连用。而 late 意为“后
期地。最近地”不能与具体的时间连用,故把 late 改为 later。
9.考查冠词。句意:那是一个难忘而又感人的下午。分析语境可知,此处是指数量“一”,因为 unforgettable
是以元音开头的,要用不定冠词 an,故在 unforgettable 前添加 an。
10. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:我要感谢史蒂夫,他在我沮丧的时候没有放弃我。本句是定语从句,其
中的 Steve 是先行词,在非限制性定语从句中作主语,此时要用 who,而 whom 一般作宾语,故把 whom 改
为 who。

I’m Li Hua, a student from Xinhua Senior School. I am writing, on behalf of my class, to extend our sincere

culture in class, especially the influence that religions have on western culture.
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
