【答案与解析】
21.
mostly改为most。句意:在我看来,当我们有麻烦时(无论什么时候我们有麻烦时),我们应该从我们最相信的人们那里寻求帮助。副词mostly,意为“大多数”;most意为“最”,此处指最相信的人,指程度。
22.
mentally改为mental。句意:同时,这也给了我们的父母更多的时间去做他们喜欢的事情,改善了家庭关系。修饰名词relaxation(放松)需要用形容词。故将mentally改为mental。
23.
such改为so。句意:这样我们每天可以匀出时间在学习一遍,以便每天都可以训练。此处应表示“以便;所以”。故将such改为so。
24.
hardly改为hard。hard(努力地;费力地)与hardly(几乎不)均可作为副词,
但是词义不同。由语境可知,
“我”挡住了足球,
并“使劲地”把它踢回操场,
故把hardly改为hard。
25.
去掉much。so
nervous
that…已经构成“so…that….”句型,因此very是多余的,应去掉。
26.
easily前加more。get
angry是系表结构,因此后边easily作状语,结合语境应用比较级。
27.
去掉more。因better本身已经是比较级,much修饰比较级better表程度,more在此多余,故把more去掉。
28.
carefully改为careful。结合语境应用形容词作表语。
29.
well改为good。taste
good构成系表结构,表示“尝起来很好”。
30.
loudly改为loud。结合语境应用形容词作定语,这里and连接两个形容词。
31.
clear
改为clearly。结合语境修饰动词应用副词形式。
32.
terrible改为
terribly。修饰形容词应用副词形式。
33.
Beside
改为Besides。因besides意为“此外,而且”;而beside是介词,意为“在……旁边”。
34.
somewhere改为everywhere。句意为:结果,“到处”长着这种果树。
35.
much改为well/clearly。表示“非常清楚地记得某人”用remember
sb.
very
well
/clearly。
36.
here改为
there。相对于说话人来说,离自己近处叫here,离自己远处叫there,
因此
应用go
there。
37.
freely改为
free。作表语要用形容词,be
free
from意为“摆脱,不受……的影响”。
38.
seriously改为
serious。结合语境修饰名词应用形容词。
39.
personal改为
personally。either…or…连接两个并列结构,personally作副词,“亲自,本人”。
40.
deliberate改为
deliberately。句意:不要再为他辩解了,很明显他是故意弄坏花园的栅栏的。此处应用
deliberate的副词形式修饰动词destroyed,意为
“故意地”。

Some
people
think
that
they
will
get
ill
if
they
use
their
brains
too
much.
It
is
not
41
(complete)
true.
Through
many
studies,
scientists
show
us
that
the
42
(much)
you
use
your
brain,
the
better
it
will
be
and
the
43
(clever)
you
will
become.
Of
course,
if
you
want
to
keep
your
mind
clear
and
active
,
you
must
take
a
proper
rest
and
study
44
(proper).To
the
teenagers,
using
their
brains
in
the
morning
is
good
for
their
health.
There
are
many
ways
to
rest.
One
is
a
45
(peace)
rest.
Sleep
is
a
peaceful
rest.
Another
is
an
46
(act)
rest.
For
example,
take
a
walk
outdoors
and
do
more
exercise
every
day.
To
change
the

is
also
an
47

way
to

In

48
(regular)
eating

brains.
Wish
you
to

50
(happy)

stay
healthy
and
young
forever.
41.
completely。句意:这并不完全属实。此处语境是副词修饰形容词true,
表达“完全正确”。故填completely.
42.
more。句意:你用脑越多,你的大脑就会变得越好。分析句子结构和具体语境,
the
more...,the
better...,
“越多……越好”。故填more.
43.
cleverer。句意:你用脑越多,你的大脑就会变得越好,你就会变得越聪明。固定结构“the
+比较级,the
+比较级”,表达“越。。。。。。就越会。。。。。。”。故填cleverer.
44.
properly。句意:如果你想保持头脑清醒和活跃,你必须适当休息和适度学习。
此处语境是副词修饰动词study,
故填properly.
45.
peaceful。句意:休息有很多方法。一是好好休息。此处语境是形容词修饰名词rest作定语,
表达“好好的休息”。故填peaceful.
46.
active。句意:另一种是积极休息。此处语境是形容词修饰名词rest作定语,表达“积极的休息”。故填active.
47.
effective。句意:改变大脑的活动方式也是有效的的休息方式。此处语境是形容词修饰名词way作定语,
表达“有效的方式”。故填effective.
48.
regularly。句意:在日常生活中,有规律地吃一些鸡蛋、肉、新鲜蔬菜和水果也有益于大脑。此处语境是副词修饰动词短语eating
some
eggs,
meat,
fresh
vegetables
and
fruit,
故填regularly.
49.
beneficial。句意:同上。固定短语be
beneficial
to“对。。。。。。有好处”。故填beneficial.
50.
happily。句意:祝你生活愉快,永远保持健康和年轻。此处语境是副词修饰动词live,
故填happily.
【小题狂练四】在空白处填1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Out
of
the
20
little
things
you’ve
always
wondered
about,
one
51
(probable)
has
to
do
with
the
small
52
(five)
pocket
on
your
jeans.
By
now,
you
might
have
given
up
on
trying
to
use
it
since
it’s
too
small
to
fit
anything
you
actually
need.
But
why
is
it
there
in
the
first
place?
Well,
today,
it
doesn’t
really
serve
53
purpose,
but
it
used
to
in
the
late
1800s.
In
reality,
the
small
pocket
is
called
a
watch
pocket
because
it
was
in
origin
intended
54
a
safe
place
for
men
to
store
their
pocket
55
(watch).
It
dates
back
to
Levis
first
ever
pair
of
jeans,
56
(hit)
the
market
in
1879.
The
Levi
Strauss
blog
also
pointed
out
that
originally,
there
were
only
four
pockets
on
a
pair
of
blue
jeans,
the
watch
pocket
57
(include).
“The
first
blue
jeans
had
four
pockets—only
one
in
back
and,
in
the
front,
two
plus
the
small,
watch
pocket,”
the
blog
stated.
So
next
time
you
find
58
(you)
standing
casually
with
your
thumb
hooked
in
that
small
pocket,
know
that
it
originally
59
(use)
to
store
a
pocket
watch.
And
now
that
we’ve
got
to
know
the
tiny
jean
pocket,
find
out
60

is
the
most
common
color.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了牛仔裤上第五只小口袋的由来。
51.
probably。句意:在你一直想知道的20件小事中,有一件可能和你牛仔裤上的第五个小口袋有关。分析可知,空处为副词作状语,修饰has
to
do
with,probable的副词形式为probably。
52.
fifth。句意:在你一直想知道的20件小事中,有一件可能和你牛仔裤上的第五个小口袋有关。根据“the
small
____52____
(five)
pocket”可知,空处应为序数词,表示“第五”,
为fifth。
53.
a或any。句意:今天,它没有任何作用,但在19世纪晚期确实是有用的。分析可知,句子为否定句,表示“没有任何用途”,可以用冠词a(purpose的发音以辅音音素开头)或不定代词any。
54.
as。句意:事实上,这个小口袋之所以被称为“手表口袋”,是因为它最初是为了让男人把怀表放在一个安全的地方。表示“目的是作为”为固定短语be
intended
as。
55.
watches。句意:事实上,这个小口袋之所以被称为“手表口袋”,是因为它最初是为了让男人把怀表放在一个安全的地方。分析可知,watch此处为名词,意为“手表”,根据前面的their可知应该用复数。
56.
hitting。句意:这要追溯到里维斯1879年推出的第一条牛仔裤。分析可知,句子不缺谓语动词,且和空处无and连接,所以空处为非谓语,hit在此作动词,意为“产品面市并产生影响”,和逻辑主语jeans之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。故填
57.
included。句意:里维斯的博客还指出,牛仔裤最初只有四个口袋,包括手表口袋。分析可知,句子不缺谓语,且和空处无and连接,所以空处为非谓语,和其逻辑主语“the
watch
pocket”之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。
58.
yourself。句意:所以,下次当你发现自己漫不经心地把大拇指勾在那个口袋里面时候,要知道它原来是用来存放怀表的。分析可知,句子的主语和宾语指的是同一个人,所以要用对应的反身代词做宾语。
59.
was
used。句意:所以,下次当你发现自己漫不经心地把大拇指勾在那个口袋里面的时候,要知道它原来是用来存放怀表的。分析可知,空处为句子谓语,且和主语it之间为动宾关系,所以用被动语态,且动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时,注意主谓一致。
60.
why。句意:既然我们已经知道了牛仔裤的小口袋,那就来看看为什么蓝色是最常见的颜色。分析可知,空处引导宾语从句,做find
out的宾语,表示原因,所以用why引导。专题06

Some
people
think
that
they
will
get
ill
if
they
use
their
brains
too
much.
It
is
not
41
(complete)
true.
Through
many
studies,
scientists
show
us
that
the
42
(much)
you
use
your
brain,
the
better
it
will
be
and
the
43
(clever)
you
will
become.
Of
course,
if
you
want
to
keep
your
mind
clear
and
active
,
you
must
take
a
proper
rest
and
study
44
(proper).To
the
teenagers,
using
their
brains
in
the
morning
is
good
for
their
health.
There
are
many
ways
to
rest.
One
is
a
45
(peace)
rest.
Sleep
is
a
peaceful
rest.
Another
is
an
46
(act)
rest.
For
example,
take
a
walk
outdoors
and
do
more
exercise
every
day.
To
change
the
way
of
brains'
activities
is
also
an
47
(effect)
way
to
rest.
In
everyday
life,
48
(regular)
eating
some
eggs,
meat,
fresh
vegetables
and
fruit
is
also
49
(benefit)
to
the
brains.
Wish
you

healthy
and

forever.
【小题狂练四】在空白处填1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Out
of
the
20
little
things
you’ve
always
wondered
about,
one
51
(probable)
has
to
do
with
the
small
52
(five)
pocket
on
your
jeans.
By
now,
you
might
have
given
up
on
trying
to
use
it
since
it’s
too
small
to
fit
anything
you
actually
need.
But
why
is
it
there
in
the
first
place?
Well,
today,
it
doesn’t
really
serve
53
purpose,
but
it
used
to
in
the
late
1800s.
In
reality,
the
small
pocket
is
called
a
watch
pocket
because
it
was
in
origin
intended
54
a
safe
place
for
men
to
store
their
pocket
55
(watch).
It
dates
back
to
Levis
first
ever
pair
of
jeans,
56
(hit)
the
market
in
1879.
The
Levi
Strauss
blog
also
pointed
out
that
originally,
there
were
only
four
pockets
on
a
pair
of
blue
jeans,
the
watch
pocket
57
(include).
“The
first
blue
jeans
had
four
pockets—only
one
in
back
and,
in
the
front,
two
plus
the
small,
watch
pocket,”
the
blog
stated.
So
next
time
you
find
58
(you)
standing
casually
with
your
thumb
hooked
in
that
small
pocket,
know
that
it
originally
59
(use)
to
store
a
pocket
watch.
And
now
that
we’ve
got
to
know
the
tiny
jean
pocket,
find
out
60
blue
is
the
most
common
color.
