,
I
threw
myself
into
the
world
of
musicals.
I
practised
singing
in
the
bedroom
every
day
to
remain
at
my
best
and
be
7
for
roles;
my
brother
would

my

So
space

us
because
we
shared
a

At
the
start
of
the
semester,
I
practised
“Circle
of
Life"
for
a
musical.
This
was
the
first
time
I
10
to
learn
a
song,
because
my
voice
cracked
(破音)as
I
switched
to
a

I
was
annoyed
in
that
period
and
11
practising,
declaring
I
had
reached
the
ceiling
of
my
singing
career.
For
the
first
time

I
got

After
two
days
of
this,
my

asked
me
to
13
him
in
meditation.
Feeling
my
anger
at
my
inability
to
manage
this
song
14
,I
accepted.
My
brother
said,
"When
your

you

got
the

I
kept

no

And

I
was
able
to

I
had
been
collecting
the
songs
of
the
Beatles
for
an
long
time.
The
first
time
when
I
saw
them
on
the
television,
I
was
immediately
attracted
by
them.
Actual,
my
favourite
song
is
Yesterday,
that
is
very
sad.
However,
not
all
their
songs
is
like
that.
Some
are
funny
and
cheerful,
and
some
express
original
idea
and
have
lovely
tunes.
It
seem
to
have
an
ability
to
describe
the
hopes
and
fears
of
young
people
and
communicate
them.
I’m
sure
their
music
will
be
remembering
forever.

A
Narrow
Escape
There
was
a
huge
three-acre
pond
just
a
few
kilometers
from
where
we
stayed.
Since
moving
into
our
new
home
in
the
countryside,
my
brother,
Jim
and
I
used
to
steal
out
to
the
pond
where
we
would
meet
another
friend.
Dad
had
warned
us
not
to
venture
anywhere
near
the
pond
area,
especially
after
a
friend
informed
him
that
a
crocodile
had
been
spotted
there.
We
took
no
notice
of
his
advice
though.
This
was
our
favorite
hideout
and
we
were
certainly
not
going
to
give
it
up.
On
this
particular
afternoon,
the
three
of
us
had
just
finished
swimming.
Jim
and
Syed
were
reluctantly
making
their
way
towards
the
spot
where
they
had
left
their
clothes.
I
stayed
back
and
was
bathing
in
the
waist-deep
water
when
I
suddenly
became
aware
of
ripples
(波纹)
forming
on
the
surface
of
the
water.
I
looked
at
the
ripples
and
my
eyes
caught
a
motion
in
the
water.
A
crocodile,
I
thought.
Then
I
saw
it
-its
mouth
and
its
two
terrible
eyes,"
Jim
..."
I
whimpered.
Then
I
screamed
with
all
my
strength.
Jim
turned
his
head
in
my
direction
and
immediately
recognized
the
danger.
"Get
out
of
the
water,
Jeff.
Hurry!
It's
just
behind
you."
I
struggled
clumsily
in
the
water.
After
a
few
ups
and
downs,
I
reached
the
edge
of
the
pond.
I
looked
over
my
shoulder.
Moving
swiftly
towards
me
was
an
enormous
crocodile.
I
froze.
Then
suddenly
I
felt
a
burning
pain
in
my
leg.
Meanwhile,
Jim
and
Syed
screamed
and
started
throwing
stones
at
the
crocodile
and
managed
to
distract
it.
The
crocodile
went
for
them
now.
As
it
opened
its
jaws,
I
could
see
its
jagged
teeth.
I
tried
to
move
but
a
fierce
pain
shot
through
me.
With
the
last
strength,
I
struggled
out
of
the
pond.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国医生叫约翰·斯诺是如何发现霍乱的源头的。
16．【答案】feared
【解析】考查形容词。句意：霍乱曾经是世界上最可怕的疾病之一。根据上文the
most以及句意“可怕的”可知应填形容词feared，作定语修饰名词diseases。故填feared。
17．【答案】when
【解析】考查定语从句。句意：19世纪初，当时欧洲爆发霍乱，数百万人死亡。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the
early
19th

18．【答案】unless
【解析】考查状语从句。句意：一位名叫约翰·斯诺的英国医生想要解决这个问题，他知道，除非找到病因，否则霍乱是无法控制的。引导条件状语从句，表示“除非”应用unless。故填unless。
19．【答案】which/that
【解析】考查定语从句。句意：一般来说，有两种相互矛盾的理论来解释霍乱的传播。此处为定语从句修饰先行词theories，先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
20．【答案】infection
【解析】考查名词。句意：第二种说法是霍乱是由食物或水中的细菌感染引起的。空处作宾语，表示“感染”应用名词infection，上文冠词an提示应用单数。故填infection。
21．【答案】had
gathered
【解析】考查动词时态。句意：后来，根据他收集到的所有证据，约翰·斯诺得以宣布，水泵里的水含有霍乱病菌。结合语境可知gather发生在“John
Snow

able
to
announce
that
the

germs”之前，即“过去的过去”应用过去完成时。故填had
gathered。
22．【答案】removed

23．【答案】was
polluted
【解析】考查动词时态语态。句意：更重要的是，约翰·斯诺发现一些公司销售的水来自未经处理的废物污染的泰晤士河。根据上文“John

found”可知应用一般过去时，且此处为定语从句修饰先行词the
River
Thames，与谓语动词pollute构成被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，定语从句中谓语动词与先行词保持人称和数的一致，应用单数。故填was
polluted。
24．【答案】to
get
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：喝这种水的人比喝纯净水或开水的人更容易得霍乱。此处为短语be
likely
to
do
sth.，表示“可能做某事”。故填to
get。
25．【答案】threat
【解析】考查名词。句意：在约翰·斯诺的努力下，全世界的霍乱威胁大幅减少。空处作主语，表示“威胁”应用名词threat，此处表特指应用单数。故填threat。

My
brother
and
I
are
exactly
one
year
apart.
We
look
like
twins,
but
we
are
completely
1
.
By
the
time
we
got
to
middle
school
it
was
clear
that
my
older
brother
2
meditation
(冥想),while
I
was
a
born
3
who
preferred
the
theatrical,
even
when
off
stage.
I
took
his
relative
silence
to
be
offensive.
We
simply
didn't
4
.
I
didn't
5
having
a
tense
relationship
with
my
brother
because
I
was
involved
at
school.
6
,
I
threw
myself
into
the
world
of
musicals.
I
practised
singing
in
the
bedroom
every
day
to
remain
at
my
best
and
be
7
for
roles;
my
brother
would
meditate
on
a
window
seat.
He
might
feel
high
school
was
already
hard
enough
8
my
noisy
singing.
So
space
to
practise
became
a（n）
9
between
us
because
we
shared
a
room.
At
the
start
of
the
semester,
I
practised
“Circle
of
Life"
for
a
musical.
This
was
the
first
time
I
10
to
learn
a
song,
because
my
voice
cracked
(破音)as
I
switched
to
a
head
voice.
I
was
annoyed
in
that
period
and
11
practising,
declaring
I
had
reached
the
ceiling
of
my
singing
career.
For
the
first
time
in
years
my
brother
12
quiet
when
I
got
home.
After
two
days
of
this,
my
brother
asked
me
to
13
him
in
meditation.
Feeling
my
anger
at
my
inability
to
manage
this
song
14
,I
accepted.
My
brother
said,
"When
your
mind
floats
away,
you
simply
come
back.
Don't
blame
yourself"
I
got
the
message,
and
it
soon
became
my
new
15
.
I
kept
trying
at
the
song,
no
longer
getting
16
at
myself.
And
just
in
time
for
the
trial
performance,
I
was
able
to
17
power
in
my
singing
despite
the
switch
to
a
head
voice.
It
was
important
for
me
to
learn
that
you
don't
have
to
always
get
everything
18
the
first
time
and
that
good
things

短文改错
I
had

the
songs
of
the

for
an

The
first
time
when
I

them
on

I

them.
Actual,

is
Yesterday,
that

However,
not
all
their
songs
is
like
that.
Some
are
funny
and
cheerful,
and
some

tunes.
It

【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者一直在收集披头士乐队的歌曲，介绍了这个乐队一些歌曲的风格。
1.
【答案】had→have
【解析】考查动词时态。句意：很长一段时间以来，我一直在收集披头士乐队的歌曲。根据语境和后文“for
a
long
time”可知，应用现在完成时，主语为I，助动词用have。故将had改为have。
2.
【答案】an→a
【解析】考查冠词。句意：很长一段时间以来，我一直在收集披头士乐队的歌曲。结合句意表示“很长一段时间以来”可知，短语为for
a
long
time。故将an改为a。
3.
【答案】去掉when
【解析】考查状语从句。句意：当我第一次在电视上看到他们时，我立刻被他们吸引住了。引导时间状语从句，表示“第一次……”，应用the
first
time引导，when多余。故去掉when。
4.
【答案】Actual→Actually
【解析】考查副词。句意：事实上，我最喜欢的歌是“昨天”，这是一首非常悲伤的歌。修饰后文整个句子，应用副词actually，作状语。故将Actual改为Actually。
5.
【答案】that→which
【解析】考查定语从句。句意：事实上，我最喜欢的歌是“昨天”，这是一首非常悲伤的歌。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是Yesterday，指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故将that改为which。
6.
【答案】is→are
【解析】考查主谓一致。句意：然而，并不是所有的歌曲都是这样的。此处主语为not
all
their
songs，时态为一般现在时，谓语动词用复数。故将is改为are。
7.
【答案】idea→ideas
【解析】考查名词的数。句意：一些是有趣和愉快的，一些表达原创的想法，有可爱的曲调。idea为可数名词，结合上文some
express
original可知，表示数量大于一，应用复数形式。故将idea改为ideas。
8.
【答案】It→They
【解析】考查代词。句意：它们似乎有能力描述年轻人的希望和恐惧，并与他们沟通。此处指披头士乐队歌曲有能力描述年轻人的希望和恐惧，并与他们沟通，他们的歌曲不止一首，应用代词they。故将It改为They。
9.
【答案】在communicate后添加with
【解析】考查介词。句意：它们似乎有能力描述年轻人的希望和恐惧，并与他们沟通。结合句意表示“和某人沟通”短语为communicate
with。故在communicate后添加with。
10.
【答案】remembering→
remembered
【解析】考查动词语态。句意：我相信他们的音乐将会被永远记住。此处主语music与remember构成被动关系，应用一般将来时的被动语态：will
be
done。故将remembering改为remembered。

A
Narrow
Escape
There
was
a
huge
three-acre
pond
just
a
few
kilometers
from
where
we
stayed.
Since
moving
into
our
new
home
in
the
countryside,
my
brother,
Jim
and
I
used
to
steal
out
to
the
pond
where
we
would
meet
another
friend.
Dad
had
warned
us
not
to
venture
anywhere
near
the
pond
area,
especially
after
a
friend
informed
him
that
a
crocodile
had
been
spotted
there.
We
took
no
notice
of
his
advice
though.
This
was
our
favorite
hideout
and
we
were
certainly
not
going
to
give
it
up.
On
this
particular
afternoon,
the
three
of
us
had
just
finished
swimming.
Jim
and
Syed
were
reluctantly
making
their
way
towards
the
spot
where
they
had
left
their
clothes.
I
stayed
back
and
was
bathing
in
the
waist-deep
water
when
I
suddenly
became
aware
of
ripples
(波纹)
forming
on
the
surface
of
the
water.
I
looked
at
the
ripples
and
my
eyes
caught
a
motion
in
the
water.
A
crocodile,
I
thought.
Then
I
saw
it
-its
mouth
and
its
two
terrible
eyes,"
Jim
..."
I
whimpered.
Then
I
screamed
with
all
my
strength.
Jim
turned
his
head
in
my
direction
and
immediately
recognized
the
danger.
"Get
out
of
the
water,
Jeff.
Hurry!
It's
just
behind
you."
I
struggled
clumsily
in
the
water.
After
a
few
ups
and
downs,
I
reached
the
edge
of
the
pond.
I
looked
over
my
shoulder.
Moving
swiftly
towards
me
was
an
enormous
crocodile.
I
froze.
Then
suddenly
I
felt
a
burning
pain
in
my
leg.
Meanwhile,
Jim
and
Syed
screamed
and
started
throwing
stones
at
the
crocodile
and
managed
to
distract
it.
The
crocodile
went
for
them
now.
As
it
opened
its
jaws,
I
could
see
its
jagged
teeth.
I
tried
to
move
but
a
fierce
pain
shot
through
me.
With
the
last
strength,
I
struggled
out
of
the
pond.

【答案】I
fell
onto
the
ground,
lying
in
a
pool
of
blood.
Meanwhile,
our
screams
were
heard
by
two
hunters
who
were
not
far
away
from
us.
They
rushed
over
to
where
we
were.
On
seeing
what
was
happening
and
the
crocodile,
which
was
still
floating
in
the
water
behind
me,
one
of
them
fired
a
shot
in
the
air
to
frighten
the
crocodile
away.
It
had
the
desired
effect.
The
crocodile
stopped
in
his
tracks
moved
back
a
few
steps
from
the
edge
of
the
pond,
and
disappeared
hurriedly
into
the
water:
Then,
I
passed
out.
When
I
came
to
myself,
I
found
myself
in
an
unfamiliar
environment.
The
smell
of
antiseptic
told
me
that
I
was
in
the
hospital.
I
later
learned
from
my
mother
that
I
was
rushed
to
the
casualty
ward
immediately
by
the
two
hunters.I
was
treated
for
opening
wounds
on
my
right
ankle
and
a
long
deep
cut
which
required
fifty
six
stitches.
Mum
reminded
me
of
how
fortunate
I
was
to
have
had
the
two
hunters
nearby
and
have
escaped
from
the
jaws
of
the
crocodile.
What
a
narrow
escape
it
really
was!
