,为固定搭配。10.tofrighten 考查非谓语动词。此处应用动词不定式表示目的。B(2020·山东济宁模拟)PekingOperaisaformoftraditionalChinesetheatrethat1.________(appear)inBeijinginthelate18thcentury.2.________(combine)music,song,danceandacrobatics(杂技动作)inalivelyandcolourfuldisplay,itisa3.________(relative)newstyleofdrama,comparedtoothertypesofChinesetheatre.IntheearlyyearsofPekingOpera,alltheactorsweremen,4.________therolesofwomenplayedbyyoungboys.Thestoriesfellintotwomain5.________(category)—wen,orciviltheatre,whichfocusedonlove,marriageandothercivilianconcerns,andwu,ormilitarytheatre,whichfocusedonthethemeofwarandwasknownforfeaturingthrillingstageactions.Inthefirsthalfofthe6.________(twenty)century,themostfamousactorofPekingOperawasMeiLanfang,7.________playedakeyroleinpopularisingPekingOperaandintroducingChinesetheatretotheWest.Additionally,Meialsotooktheboldstepintakingonfemalestudents,whichwas8.________highlyriskyandunconventionalstepatthetime.AfterthefoundingofthePeople'sRepublicofChina,PekingOperaperformances,whichdealtwithcontemporaryandrevolutionarythemes,wereencouraged.Despite9.________(it)upsanddowns,PekingOperawasrevived(复兴)inthe1980sandcontinuesto10.________(perform)today.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了京剧的发展。1.appeared 考查时态。根据时间状语“inthelate18thcentury”可知,此处陈述发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。2.Combining 考查非谓语动词。combine的逻辑主语为it,两者之间为主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。3.relatively 考查副词。应用副词修饰形容词new,故填relatively。4.with 考查介词。分析句子结构可知,此处为with复合结构。考查的结构形式为“with+名词+过去分词”,在句中作状语。5.categories 考查名词的单复数。根据空前的“twomain”可知,此处应填所给名词的复数形式categories。6.twentieth 考查序数词。根据语境和空前的“the”可知,此处应用序数词。故填twentieth。7.who 考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为MeiLanfang,指人,故用who。8.a 考查冠词。此处表泛指,且highly以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词a。9.its 考查代词。despite为介词,upsanddowns意为“兴衰,浮沉”,为名词短语,故此处应用形容词性物主代词its。10.beperformed 考查语态。perform与Peking
Opera之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态,且空处位于不定式符号to之后,故填beperformed。Ⅱ.根据提示补全句子1.随着高考的临近,我们压力很大。①With_the_College_Entrance_Examination_approaching,weareundergreatstress.(with;approach)②As_the_College_Entrance_Examination_draws_near,weareundergreatstress.(as;draw)2.这个故事的寓意是:不遗余力地获取知识,不管情况多么困难都不要轻易气馁。(nomatterhow/however)Themoralofthestoryis:sparenoefforttoacquireknowledgeandnevergetdiscouragedeasilyhowever/no_matter_how_difficult_the_situation_may_be.3.我的爱好广泛,包括读书、写日记、与朋友一起打球等等。(range)Ihavea_wide_range_ofhobbies,includingreading,keepingdiaries,playingballswithfriendsandsoon.4.如果你想提高你的英语口语水平,你应该充分利用每一个可能的机会练习讲英语。(takeadvantageof)IfyouwanttoimproveyouroralEnglish,youshouldtake_full_advantage_ofeverypossiblechancetopractisespeakingit.5.网络是一个很好的发现,我认为它对人们的生活很有意义。(significant)TheInternetisawonderfuldiscovery,whichIthinkis_very_significant_topeople'slives.B组·能力提升Ⅰ.阅读理解AChineseFestivalsAsanancientcountry,Chinahasvariousfestivals.TheSpringFestivalOntheeveningbeforetheSpringFestival,thefamilygettogethertohaveabigmeal.Dumplingsarethemosttraditionalfood.Besidesdeliciousfoodandnewclothes,childrenalsogetluckymoneyfromtheirparents.PeoplealsoputChineseNewYearscrolls(春联)onthewallforgoodfortune.TheLantern(灯笼)FestivalDuringthisfestival,thereisspecialfoodcalled“tangyuan”,whichissaidtosymboliseboththefirstfullmoonandfamilycompleteness.Partofthelanternfestivaltraditioninvolvesagametoguessriddlesattachedtothelantern.Stiltwalking(踩高跷),drumming,dragonandliondancingarethemainentertainmentformsoftheLanternFestival.TheDuanwuFestivalAlsocalledtheDragonBoatFestival,itistocommemorate(纪念)thepatriotic(爱国的)poetQuYuan,aloyalandhighlyesteemedminister,whobroughtpeaceandprosperitytohisstatebut
