Marjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness. Again and again her father said she would never complete anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words continually ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth. This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain again, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of self-worth come from
It is true that the foundation of a person’s self-worth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers can add to the collection of death words in a person’s heart. Over time a person begins lo see himself in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth
Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious sign of low self-esteem(自尊心). But it’s easy to overcome. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you communicate with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that you’re not doing well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your self-esteem. To feel valued, you’ll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself.
All human beings are able to add value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like "I’m worthless and stupid" because you have the choice not to be any of these things.
24. What can we know from Paragraph 1
A. Marjorie was born to a poor family.
B. Fathers decide children's future development.
C. Family education affects children's growth.
D. Children shouldn’t follow their parents’ advice.
25. What does the third paragraph mainly show us
A. What is self-esteem. B. Why we feel worthless.
C. When we should make a choice. D. How we should change ourselves.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. All of us can make contributions to our society.
B. Social activities can help a person feel confident.
C. It is common to think of oneself as worthless.
D. It is not a good way to find excuses for one’s action.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this text
A. The reasons for worthlessness B. Take action to become useful
C. The importance of family education D. Study to get self-esteem
C
SYDNEY : As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999,Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “anything else that came up”. Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly (蝶泳)in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.
Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(顶级赛事)to swim the one event, having set a qualifying (合格的) time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.
Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled (回忆) her time with Gould five years ago.
" I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train,’’ Schipper explained.” It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don't know why. We just started talking and it went from there."
"She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting. ”
Next time, things will be more serious. “ I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.
28. What is the passage mainly about
A. Stories happening in swimming competitions.
B. Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds.
C. Lessons learned from international swimming championships.
D. Friendship and competition between two swimmers.
29. Gould and Schipper are going to ________.
A. talk about sport and life B. go back to elite competition
C. set a qualifying time and win gold D. take part in the same sports event
30. The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.
A. the Olympics B. the youth camp
C. the friendship D. the Australian team
31. What Schipper said showed that she ________.
A. was no longer Gould’s friend
B. had learned a lot from Gould
C. was not interested in Gould’s stories
D. would not like to compete against Gould
D
A large male emperor penguin waddles (蹒跚行走) slowly across the ice to the water. He dives deep into the cold salt water and then springs back onto the ice. Nearby a female penguin sleeps as her baby rests on the top of her feet. The penguins are enjoying another beautiful day of sunshine and freezing temperatures in the Penguin Encounter, a special home built for them in sunny California.
The Penguin Encounter is located at SeaWorld in San Diego. It was built to help study the emperor penguin, the largest of all penguins. The emperor penguins' natural home is in the Antarctic, near the South Pole. Increases in Earth's temperatures could cause large amounts of ice to break up. Scientists feared that this drastic (剧烈的) change in the environment could destroy the emperor penguins' nesting areas. This would cause the number of emperor penguins to greatly decrease. A new home for them seemed to be the perfect solution.
Scientists wanted to make the Penguin Encounter a comfortable home for the black-and-white feathered birds. A team of scientists was sent to the Antarctic to learn more about the emperor penguins. Scientist Frank Todd led the team. Todd is an expert on penguins. He has spent more than 25 years studying them.
Getting close to the emperor penguins in the Antarctic wasn't difficult for the group of scientists. Sometimes they would waddle close to Todd and his team. The scientists concluded that this behavior could be the result of poor eyesight. Penguins are nearsighted, which allows them to see better in the water than on land. Another possible reason for their behavior was that they had little to fear on the ice. Their enemies, such as leopard seals and killer whales, hunt mainly in the water.
Todd and his team spent many months studying the diet and social habits of the emperor penguins. It was easy to get close to the penguins, but it wasn't easy to study them.
In the Antarctic, the temperature rarely rises above zero degree, which is perfect for penguins, but not for scientists. Once Todd and his team had finally gathered enough information, they made plans for a new home in California for a number of emperor penguins. Scientists hoped to study the birds in conditions that were more scientist-friendly. When the "new Antarctic" was completed, Todd and his team brought several hundred emperor penguins to California from the Antarctic.
32. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the first paragraph
A. Moves. B. Jumps.
C. Holds. D. Flies.
33. Why did scientists need to study penguins in the Antarctic before building the Penguin Encounter
A. They were afraid that the emperor penguins’ homes would be destroyed.
B. They wanted the Penguin Encounter just to be like the emperor penguins' natural home.
C. They wanted to see how the emperor penguins reacted to the rising temperatures.
D. They knew it would take long to gather enough emperor penguins for the Penguin Encounter.
34. Why do emperor penguins have little to fear on the ice
A. It is easy to see their enemies on the white ice.
B. Their enemies usually hunt in the water.
C. They can easily escape on the smooth ice.
D. It is too cold for other animals to survive on the ice.
35. The passage mainly emphasizes ________.
A. scientists working as a team in the Antarctic
B. a science team finding a way to stop global warming
C. how to protect the emperor penguins at SeaWorld
D. scientists building a special home to learn more about the emperor penguins

【原文】I’m here today to tell you about my career as a writer. I wrote my first novel in 1987. I called it Sunset. However, it didn’t come out until 1996, four years after my first published novel. After school, I went to university where I studied law. However, I never practiced law. I was lucky enough to get a holiday job on a local newspaper as a reporter, and I stayed there. This, of course, gave me lots of opportunities to improve my writing skills. I had my first novel published during that period. It was called Tango. It wasn’t a great success, but it gave me useful contacts in the publishing world. My second novel, The Ballet Dancer, was much more successful. It even won a prize for new novelists. Since then, I’ve written three more novels and have also had a couple of collections of short stories published. At present, I’m experimenting with writing a play — The List. I feel I’m learning a great deal from this work …

Marjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness. Again and again her father said she would never complete anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words continually ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth. This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain again, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of self-worth come from
It is true that the foundation of a person’s self-worth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers can add to the collection of death words in a person’s heart. Over time a person begins lo see himself in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth
Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious sign of low self-esteem(自尊心). But it’s easy to overcome. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you communicate with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that you’re not doing well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your self-esteem. To feel valued, you’ll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself.
All human beings are able to add value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like "I’m worthless and stupid" because you have the choice not to be any of these things.
24. What can we know from Paragraph 1
A. Marjorie was born to a poor family.
B. Fathers decide children's future development.
C. Family education affects children's growth.
D. Children shouldn’t follow their parents’ advice.
25. What does the third paragraph mainly show us
A. What is self-esteem. B. Why we feel worthless.
C. When we should make a choice. D. How we should change ourselves.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. All of us can make contributions to our society.
B. Social activities can help a person feel confident.
C. It is common to think of oneself as worthless.
D. It is not a good way to find excuses for one’s action.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this text
A. The reasons for worthlessness B. Take action to become useful
C. The importance of family education D. Study to get self-esteem
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自我价值的有关问题,鼓励人们要采取行动让自己变得有价值。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Marjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness. Again and again her father said she would never complete anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure.”(Marjorie从小就觉得自己一文不值。她父亲一次又一次地说她一生中永远不会完成任何事情。他告诉她,她是个失败者,她所做的任何事都注定以失败告终。) 可知第一段主要讲述了Marjorie的父亲一次又一次地说她是一个失败者,不会成功,这些话影响Marjorie的成长,说明家庭教育对孩子有很大的影响。故选C项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you communicate with others and make caring decisions.”(无论你的童年多么艰难,你仍然可以选择通过每天与他人沟通和做出关心他人的决定的方式来丰富世界。)可知第三段主要介绍我们应该如何改变自己。故选D项。
【26题详解】

C
SYDNEY : As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999,Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “anything else that came up”. Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly (蝶泳)in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.
Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(顶级赛事)to swim the one event, having set a qualifying (合格的) time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.
Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled (回忆) her time with Gould five years ago.
" I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train,’’ Schipper explained.” It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don't know why. We just started talking and it went from there."
"She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting. ”
Next time, things will be more serious. “ I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.
28. What is the passage mainly about
A. Stories happening in swimming competitions.
B. Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds.
C. Lessons learned from international swimming championships.
D. Friendship and competition between two swimmers.
29. Gould and Schipper are going to ________.
A. talk about sport and life B. go back to elite competition
C. set a qualifying time and win gold D. take part in the same sports event
30. The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.
A. the Olympics B. the youth camp
C. the friendship D. the Australian team
31. What Schipper said showed that she ________.
A. was no longer Gould’s friend
B. had learned a lot from Gould
C. was not interested in Gould’s stories
D. would not like to compete against Gould
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. B

Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.(1999年,谢恩·古尔德和杰西卡·希佩尔坐在游泳池旁边分享糖果,她们相处得很好,聊着运动、生活和“发生的任何事情”。但下个月在悉尼,她们将在泳池边再次见面,在一段时间内,这对朋友将在Homebush Bay举行的澳大利亚游泳锦标赛上进行50米蝶泳比赛。)”及下文两名运动员一起回忆过去的竞赛,文章主要讲述的是两个游泳运动员之间的友谊和竞争。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly (蝶泳)in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.(但下个月在悉尼,她们将在泳池边再次见面,在一段时间内,这对朋友将在Homebush Bay举行的澳大利亚游泳锦标赛上进行50米蝶泳比赛。)”可知,Gould和Schipper将一起参加同样的体育赛事。故选D。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“" I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train,’’ Schipper explained.” It seemed as if we had long been good friends. ”(当时我在黄金海岸的一个全国青年夏令营,Shane过来和我们聊天,看我们的训练,”Schipper解释道,“我们似乎是认识很久的好朋友了)”可知,Schipper解释说她都不清楚为什么她们从交谈中产生了了解和友谊,it指的是“她们之间的友谊”。故选C。

A large male emperor penguin waddles (蹒跚行走) slowly across the ice to the water. He dives deep into the cold salt water and then springs back onto the ice. Nearby a female penguin sleeps as her baby rests on the top of her feet. The penguins are enjoying another beautiful day of sunshine and freezing temperatures in the Penguin Encounter, a special home built for them in sunny California.
The Penguin Encounter is located at SeaWorld in San Diego. It was built to help study the emperor penguin, the largest of all penguins. The emperor penguins' natural home is in the Antarctic, near the South Pole. Increases in Earth's temperatures could cause large amounts of ice to break up. Scientists feared that this drastic (剧烈的) change in the environment could destroy the emperor penguins' nesting areas. This would cause the number of emperor penguins to greatly decrease. A new home for them seemed to be the perfect solution.
Scientists wanted to make the Penguin Encounter a comfortable home for the black-and-white feathered birds. A team of scientists was sent to the Antarctic to learn more about the emperor penguins. Scientist Frank Todd led the team. Todd is an expert on penguins. He has spent more than 25 years studying them.
Getting close to the emperor penguins in the Antarctic wasn't difficult for the group of scientists. Sometimes they would waddle close to Todd and his team. The scientists concluded that this behavior could be the result of poor eyesight. Penguins are nearsighted, which allows them to see better in the water than on land. Another possible reason for their behavior was that they had little to fear on the ice. Their enemies, such as leopard seals and killer whales, hunt mainly in the water.
Todd and his team spent many months studying the diet and social habits of the emperor penguins. It was easy to get close to the penguins, but it wasn't easy to study them.
In the Antarctic, the temperature rarely rises above zero degree, which is perfect for penguins, but not for scientists. Once Todd and his team had finally gathered enough information, they made plans for a new home in California for a number of emperor penguins. Scientists hoped to study the birds in conditions that were more scientist-friendly. When the "new Antarctic" was completed, Todd and his team brought several hundred emperor penguins to California from the Antarctic.
32. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the first paragraph
A. Moves. B. Jumps.
C. Holds. D. Flies.
33. Why did scientists need to study penguins in the Antarctic before building the Penguin Encounter
A. They were afraid that the emperor penguins’ homes would be destroyed.
B. They wanted the Penguin Encounter just to be like the emperor penguins' natural home.
C. They wanted to see how the emperor penguins reacted to the rising temperatures.
D. They knew it would take long to gather enough emperor penguins for the Penguin Encounter.
34. Why do emperor penguins have little to fear on the ice
A. It is easy to see their enemies on the white ice.
B. Their enemies usually hunt in the water.
C. They can easily escape on the smooth ice.
D. It is too cold for other animals to survive on the ice.
35. The passage mainly emphasizes ________.
A. scientists working as a team in the Antarctic
B. a science team finding a way to stop global warming
C. how to protect the emperor penguins at SeaWorld
D. scientists building a special home to learn more about the emperor penguins
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,科学家在圣地亚哥为原本生活在南极的帝企鹅建设了一个新家园,以便更方便地研究帝企鹅。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。由第一段中的“A large male emperor penguin waddles (蹒跚行走) slowly across the ice to the water. He dives deep into the cold salt water and then springs back onto the ice. (一只雄性帝企鹅摇摇晃晃地慢慢地穿过冰面来到水里。他潜入冰冷的盐水中,然后springs回冰面)”可知,这里应该是讲这只帝企鹅潜入水里又跳回了冰面上,springs在此处意为“跳(Jumps)”。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“Scientists wanted to make the Penguin Encounter a comfortable home for the black-and-white feathered birds. A team of scientists was sent to the Antarctic to learn more about the emperor penguins. (科学家们想让Penguin Encounter成为黑白羽毛鸟类舒适的家园。一组科学家被派往南极,以了解更多关于帝企鹅的情况)”可知,科学家想让Penguin Encounter成为适合帝企鹅居住的舒适家园,而为了达到这个目的,他们要先去南极地区了解帝企鹅的生活习性,这样才能使Penguin Encounter的环境更加适合帝企鹅。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“Another possible reason for their behavior was that they had little to fear on the ice. Their enemies, such as leopard seals and killer whales, hunt mainly in the water. (它们这种行为另一个可能的原因是它们在冰上无所畏惧。它们的敌人,如豹海豹和虎鲸,主要在水中捕猎)”可知,帝企鹅的敌人通常会在水下捕食,因此在冰面上的时候帝企鹅并不怎么害怕。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段中的“The Penguin Encounter is located at SeaWorld in San Diego. It was built to help study the emperor penguin, the largest of all penguins. (The Penguin Encounter位于圣地亚哥的海洋世界。它是为了帮助研究帝企鹅而建造的,帝企鹅是所有企鹅中最大的)”,第三段中的“Scientists wanted to make the Penguin Encounter a comfortable home for the black-and-white feathered birds. (科学家想让Penguin Encounter成为适合帝企鹅居住的舒适家园)”,最后一段中的“Once Todd and his team had finally gathered enough information, they made plans for a new home in California for a number of emperor penguins. (一旦托德和他的团队最终收集到足够的信息,他们就计划在加利福尼亚为一些帝企鹅建立一个新家)”和全文可知,科学家在圣地亚哥为原本生活在南极的帝企鹅建设了一个新家园,以便更方便地研究帝企鹅,即科学家们建造了一个特殊的家来了解更多关于帝企鹅的信息。故选D项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。寻找动机,尤其是学习动机,并不总是容易的,文章主要就如何提高我们的学习动机提出了一些建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Finding motivation, especially study motivation, is not always easy.(寻找动机,尤其是学习动机,并不总是容易的)”以及后文“Here are some ways of doing it.(这里有一些方法)”可知,上文提到寻找学习动机不容易,后文则提出了一些寻找动机的方法,可知本句与上文构成转折,指出学习动机是可以通过努力来增加的。故F选项“然而,稍加努力,我们就能学会如何增加我们的动机”符合语境,故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Yes, you should give yourself a prize or some kind of reward when you've done a task.(是的,当你完成一项任务时,你应该给自己一个奖励或某种形式的奖励)”以及后文“Remember, you have to know the exact conditions that you need to meet in order to receive the wonderful cake.(记住,为了得到美味的蛋糕,你必须知道你需要满足的确切条件)”可知,上文提到了完成任务可以给予自己奖励,后文则提到了美味的蛋糕,可知本句是在说明奖励的具体事物可以是蛋糕之类的食物,G选项中sweets对应后文中cake。故G选项“可以是像甜食这样简单的事情,也可以是像度假这样更大的事情”符合语境,故选G。
【38题详解】
根据本段内容“You need to feel confident about your studies. I am sure all of us have succeeded on several occasions. Remember these past successes and you will feel more motivated to continue!(你需要对你的学习有信心。我相信我们大家都有过几次成功的经历。记住这些过去的成功,你会更有动力继续下去!)”可知,本段的建议是记住过去的成功,A选项Remember past successes对应后文中Remember these past successes。故A选项“记住过去的成功”可以作为小标题,故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Don't just think about them, don't just say them, write them down!(不要只是想它们,不要只是说它们,把它们写下来!)”可知,上文提到把目标写下来,故本句应承接上文说明这一做法的原因:书面文字非常有力。故B选项“书面文字非常有力”符合语境,故选B。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Put them up on the wall and paste small post-it notes all over the place. You have to keep on reminding yourself of the purpose behind your studies and what type of results you're expecting to achieve.(把它们贴在墙上,到处贴些小便利贴。你必须不断提醒自己学习的目的和你期望获得的结果)”可知,后文提到把写下来的目标贴在墙上,以此来不断提醒自己学习的目的和你期望获得的结果,可见本句是在说明不要只是把目标写下来就离开,而是要贴在显眼的地方提醒自己。故D选项“不要只是把它们写下来,然后就这样离开”符合语境,故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科学家袁隆平的生平和他对农业的贡献。
【详解】1.考查名词。句意:这是一个巨大的悲伤,因为在2021年5月22日,91岁的袁隆平,中国最著名的科学家之一,尽管他一直认为自己是农民,去世了。根据句意可知,此处表示“科学家”,括号中的单词science表示“科学”,应用名词scientist,表示“科学家”,且one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数,是固定用法,表示“最......的......之一”,故填scientists。
2.考查不定冠词。句意:这是一个巨大的悲伤,因为在2021年5月22日,91岁的袁隆平,中国最著名的(科学)之一,尽管他一直认为自己是农民,去世了。根据句意可知,此处表示“袁隆平称自己是一位农民”,此处是泛指,表示“一个”,且farmer读音不是以元音音素开头,应用a,故填a。
3.考查时态和语态。句意:当他还是个孩子的时候,他在很多学校接受过教育,并且别人给他起的外号是“问问题的学生”。分析句子结构可知,空处是谓语,根据“As a boy”可知,事情发生在过去,应用一般过去时,且主语he和动词educate(教育)是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动,故填was educated。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:从很小的时候起,他就对植物非常感兴趣,以至于他选择在大学学习农业,并于1953年从西南农业大学毕业。choose to do是固定搭配,表示“选择做某事”,应用to study作宾语,故填to study。
5.考查介词。句意:从很小的时候起,他就对植物非常感兴趣,以至于他选择在大学学习农业,并于1953年从西南农业大学毕业。graduate from是固定搭配,表示“从......毕业”,故填from。
6.考查形容词。句意:作为一个年轻的教师,他进行了许多不同类型的水稻的实验,最后培育出一种特殊的水稻植物,它可以比原来的任何一种植物都有更高的产量。根据句意和空后的名词teacher(老师)可知,此处应该用形容词作定语,表示“年轻的”,故填young。
7.考查副词。句意:作为一个年轻的教师,他进行了许多不同类型的水稻的实验,最后培育出一种特殊的水稻植物,它可以比原来的任何一种植物都有更高的产量。根据句意可知,此处用副词finally,表示“最终”,修饰空后的句子,故填finally。
8.考查定语从句关系词。句意:作为一个年轻的教师,他进行了许多不同类型的水稻的实验,最后培育出一种特殊的水稻植物,它可以比原来的任何一种植物都有更高的产量。分析句子结构可知,“____could give a higher yield than either of the original plants.”是限定性定语从句,先行词是a special species of rice plant(一种特殊的水稻),指物,且定语从句中缺少主语,应用which或that,故填which或that。
9.考查代词。句意:多亏了他的研究,联合国在消除世界饥饿的战斗中,有了更多的工具。根据句意和空后的名词research(研究)可知,此处应形容词性物主代词,his表示“他的”,作定语,故填his。
10.考查时态。句意:当被问及他的梦想时,他说他想种植像花生一样丰满的水稻,农民们可以在大水稻的凉爽阴影下休息。分析句子可知,空处做谓语,且句子描述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时,主语he和动词say(说)是主动关系,所以应用said,故填said。

Last weekend, we went to the local orphanage(孤儿院) to do some voluntary works. On the way here, we bought many books and toys with the money donating by students in our class. Upon our arrival, we handed out all the gifts to the children, and then we patiently taught them sing songs. To our surprise, we receive pictures drawn by them as souvenirs. When it was time for us to leave, the children waved our hands and thanked us for our kindness. Seen the children’s bright smiles, we considered a visit worthwhile. We were real happy to bring sunshine to their lives. In the future, we can organize more of meaningful voluntary activities.
【答案】1.works→work
2.here→there
3.donating→donated
4.在sing前加to
5.receive→received
6.our→their
7.Seen→Seeing
8.a→the
9.real→really
10.去掉of
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲了作者去当地的孤儿院做一些志愿工作的经历。
【详解】1.考查名词的数。句意:上周末,我们去了当地的孤儿院做一些志愿工作。句中表示“志愿工作”,work是不可数名词,故将works改为work。
2.考查副词。句意:在去那里的路上,我们用我们班学生捐赠的钱买了很多书和玩具。根据语境可知,句子表示“在去那里的路上,我们用我们班学生捐赠的钱买了很多书和玩具”,因此是on the way there,故将here改为there。
3.考查过去分词。句意:在去那里的路上,我们用我们班学生捐赠的钱买了很多书和玩具。由by可知,money和donate之间是被动关系,因此应用过去分词donated表被动,故将donating改为donated。
4.考查不定式和固定短语。句意:到达后,我们把所有的礼物都给了孩子们,然后我们耐心地教他们唱歌。teach sb. to do sth.是固定短语,意为“教某人做某事”,故在sing前加to。
5.考查时态。句意:令我们惊讶的是,我们收到了他们画的照片作为纪念品。通篇时态是一般过去时,因此receive应用过去式,故将receive改为received。
6.考查代词。句意:当我们要离开的时候,孩子们挥手感谢我们的好意。根据主语the children可知,是孩子们挥动他们的手,因此是wave their hands,故将our改为their。
7.考查现在分词。句意:看到孩子们灿烂的笑容,我们认为这次访问是值得的。分析可知,we和see之间是主谓关系,因此用现在分词seeing表主动,故将Seen改为Seeing。
8.考查定冠词。句意:看到孩子们灿烂的笑容,我们认为这次访问是值得的。此处特指这次的拜访,因此用定冠词表特指,故将a改为the。
9.考查副词。句意:我们真的很高兴能给他们的生活带来阳光。修饰形容词happy应用副词really,故将real改为really。
10.考查介词。句意:在未来,我们可以组织更多有意义的志愿活动。根据语境可知,句子表示“在未来,我们可以组织更多有意义的志愿活动”,more是比较级,后面不需跟介词of,故去掉of。
