7.to　考查介词。句意：另外，去年在乌什县，仅仅100只鸡就能够有效地将损失限制在1300多英亩。limit...to...意为“把……限于……”，为固定搭配，故填to。8.hasused　考查动词的时态。Thisis/was(not)thefirsttime(that)...为固定句型，意为“这(不)是第一次……”，当主句谓语是is时，that从句应该用现在完成时，故填hasused。9.torun　考查非谓语动词。此处为不定式作目的状语，故填torun。10.a　考查冠词。句意：这场近28万人参与的运动，是为了应对国家近25年里最严重的蝗灾爆发。根据语境，此处应表示“近25年里”。aquarter意为“四分之一”，故填a。BTherobotlawnmowers(割草机)1.________(design)byushavethefollowingbenefitsbesidessavingyourtimeandeffort.First,theyareenvironmentallyfriendly.Withglobalwarmingnow2.________(be)amajorconcernyoucanhavepeaceofmindwiththesemowers.Theyrunonrechargeablebatteriesanddonotusepetrolorburnoillikeconventionallawnmowers.Second,theyworkvery3.________(quiet).Aftercarefulassessment,noisefromthem4.________(find)tobeabout60decibels(分贝)lowerthanatypicallawnmower,soyoucanprogrammethemtoworkatnightwhileyousleep.Third,rainsensorsinourrobotlawnmowerswarntherobot5.________(return)toitsshelterorstayinitsshelterwhileit'sraining.On6.________otherhand,ifyouareusingasimpleelectriclawnmower,youwillhavetostayoutintherainwhileyougetyourmowerundershelter7.________itwillbeuseless.Fourth,bumpsensorsinourrobotlawnmowerprotectthelawnmowerfromrunningoveritems8.________maybelyingintheyard,thusincreasingitslifeandefficiency.Lastbutnotleast,theyare9.________(benefit)forpeoplewithallergyproblems—theycancutyourgrasswhileyousitfaraway,readingyourfavouritenovel10.________comfort.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人割草机的优点。1.designed　考查非谓语动词。设空处作后置定语修饰robotlawnmowers，design与robotlawnmowers之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且design所表示的动作已发生，故填designed。2.being　考查非谓语动词。此处是with复合结构作状语，因globalwarming与be之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且be所表示的状态与谓语动词所表示的状态同时存在，故填being。3.quietly　考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词work，故填副词quietly。4.wasfound　考查被动语态。由Aftercarefulassessment可知，此处用一般过去时，又因noise与find之间是被动关系，故填wasfound。5.toreturn　考查非谓语动词。warnsb./sth.todosth.意为“提醒某人/某物做某事”。6.the　考查冠词。ontheotherhand为固定搭配，意为“另一方面”。7.or/otherwise　考查连词。设空处连接两个分句，表示“否则，要不然”，故填or/otherwise。 8.that/which　考查定语从句。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词items，且在从句中作主语，故填that/which。9.beneficial　考查形容词。设空处作表语，意为“有益的，有帮助的”，故填beneficial。10.in　考查介词。incomfort意为“舒适地”。Ⅱ.根据提示补全句子1.最使我伤脑筋的是他似乎对他的功课不感兴趣。(what引导主语从句)What_bothers_me_most_isthatheseemstotakenointerestinhisschoolwork.2.随着时间的推移，我逐渐意识到健康的重要性。①As_time_goes_by,_Igraduallyrealisetheimportanceofhealth.(状语从句)②With_time_going_by,_Igraduallyrealisetheimportanceofhealth.(with复合结构)3.据说到目前为止汤姆已经记住了2000个汉字。(besaidtodo...)Tomis_said_to_have_learnedbyheart2,000Chinesecharactersuptonow.4.一心致力于教育失聪儿童，这位年轻的女士很少有时间照顾她自己的女儿。①Theyoungladydevotes_herself_to_teachingthedeafchildren,soshehaslittletimetocareforherowndaughter.(devote)②Devoting_herself_to_teachingthedeafchildren,theyoungladyhaslittletimetocareforherowndaughter.(现在分词短语作状语)③Devoted_to_teachingthedeafchildren,theyoungladyhaslittletimetocareforherowndaughter.(过去分词短语作状语)5.这幅图画让我深信做一个好女儿比做一个“好”学生更重要。(convince)The_picture_convinces_me_thatitisevenmoreimportanttobeagooddaughterthanagoodstudent.B组·能力提升Ⅰ.阅读理解PrateekSharmawasbornintoafamilyoffarmers.After10yearsofbeingachiefmanagerofKotakMahindraBank,hedidagoodjobandearnedagoodpay.ButPrateekcouldn'tcontinuethecorporationlifewithease,ashisheartwasalwaysinfarming.Soheworkedasabankeronweekdaysandonweekendstravelled100kmtogettohis5acrefarminDhabaKhurd.Bytheendof2015,Prateekhadsetupahouseonhisfarmtogrowoffseasonvegetables.Prateekthoughthe'dquithisjoboncehewasabletoearnenoughfromfarming,butthiswasn'taneasydecisiontomake.Thiswasbecausecoststogrowthesevegetableswereveryhigh,alongwiththefactthatfarmersweren'tapartofthevaluechainandthuscouldn'tdecidethepriceoftheirownvegetables.Fortunately,PrateekmetVinayYadav,anothereducatedfarmer.Theythendecidedtostarttheirownvaluechainandselltheirvegetablesandgrains,whileskippingthemiddlemen.Thevarietyofvegetablestheygrewwasn'tenough,sotheydecidedtoformagroupoffarmers.

5.D　根据上文中的“Owens,whoisnow98,started1atthehospitalafterherhusbanddiednearly20yearsago.”可知，现年98岁的欧文斯在丈夫20年前去世后就开始在医院做志愿者，因此此处是说她可以献出自己的时间(在医院做志愿者)，故D项正确。6.A　根据上文中的“Owens,whoisnow98”可知，欧文斯现在已经98岁了，年纪已经非常大了，故A项正确。7.C　根据上文中的“Iusedtogivethreedaysaweek”及空后的“SoIonlygiveonedayaweek”可知，欧文斯以前一周有三天去做志愿者，现在一周只有一天去做志愿者，这说明她现在年纪太大，不能像以前那样经常四处走动了，故C项正确。8.D　根据上文可知，欧文斯现在每周去医院做一次志愿服务，因此此处指“去医院上班”，故D项正确。9.D　根据第一段内容可知，欧文斯每周二去医院做志愿服务，故D项正确。10.B　根据上文中的“Togettoherweeklyfourhour8，Owensreceivesaridefromavolunteerwhoshenowcallsherfriend.”可知，为了每周四小时的轮班，她请一名志愿者载她上下班，这说明她认为自己不能开车去上班了，故B项正确。11.D　根据空后的“turnitdown”可知，欧文斯曾有机会出演1939年拍摄的经典电影《乱世佳人》，但她拒绝了，故D项正确。12.A　根据空前的“Becauseshehadotherworkatthetime”可知，因为她当时还有其他工作，所以欧文斯决定拒绝出演《乱世佳人》，故A项正确。13.B　根据空前的“Shealsohada(n)11tobeinthe1939filmclassicGonewiththeWind.Becauseshehadotherworkatthetime,however,Owens12toturnitdown.”可知，欧文斯曾有机会出演1939年拍摄的经典电影《乱世佳人》，但她当时还有其他工作，所以她拒绝了，此处她解释拒绝出演《乱世佳人》的原因——没有做过的事比做过的事更有趣，故B项正确。14.A　根据空后的“she'sinhergoldenyears,Owensplanstocontinuetoliveherlifewith15bygreetingeachpatientwithasmile”可知，既然她现在还能干得动(身体情况还允许)，欧文斯仍打算继续怀揣着这样一个目的生活——微笑着问候每一位病人(继续做志愿者)，故A项正确。15.C　根据空后的“bygreetingeachpatientwithasmile”可知，微笑着问候每一位病人是欧文斯生活中的一个目的，故C项正确。Ⅳ.应用文写作假定你是李华，你和同学根据英语课文改编了一个短剧。给外教MissEvans写一封英语邮件，请她帮忙指导。邮件内容包括：1.剧情简介；2.指导内容；3.商定时间地点。
