第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Playing in funfairs and theme parks is a great deal of fun, but with the fun come risks. In September, two accidents happened on funfair rides with one being killed and three injured.
Some activities and facilities in theme parks can be dangerous. Governments worldwide have ordered stricter safety checks for funfair rides such as swing rides, roller coasters and cableways. For safety, funfair ride operators should double-check the rides and be away of any dangerous things. But passengers should do their part.
1. Always keep your seat belt fastened. Fasten your seat belt the moment you get on the ride and don’t unfasten it until you are told to.
2. Stay in to stay safe. On any theme park ride, stay seated at all times, hold on to the safety bar, and keep your feet and knees inside the car. Don’t stretch your body outside of the ride.
3. Know your limits. Read the attraction’s restrictions before taking the ride. If you are not tall or old enough for certain rides, don’t take the risk.
4. Know your health condition. Don’t try any activities and facilities that are beyond your health condition.
5. Tell staff about any problems. If you see anything wrong — a broken seat belt, a person jumping the line, or anything else that could cause safety problems to visitors - tell the park employee immediately.
Funfair rides are fun, but they have the same safety rules as a car or plane ride. So, always put safety first for fun time.
1. Who should double-check the safety of funfair rides in theme parks
A. Government. B. Operators. C. Passengers. D. Policeman.
2. Which problem does not need to be told to the staff
A. A broken seatbelt. B. A loose(不牢固的)window on the ride.
C. A person’s feet outside of the ride D. A child standing behind the safety line.
3. What is the text
A. A safety instruction. B. A travel direction.
C. A news report. D. A personal experience.
B
A few years ago, I was leaving the kennel (养狗场) where I worked, only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The kennel’s owners are known animal rescuers and I figured someone outside dumped him over the fence.
I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, chickens and fish, but never goats. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom. Quincy proved to be quite special. When he was about a week old, I tapped my fingers on the bathroom floor and said, “Lie down.” I was amazed when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row.
A quick study, Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say “load up,” and spends the day wandering with my dogs, whom he considers his brothers and sisters. He knows the name of everything I feed him — apples, water, carrots, and strawberries.
I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks. Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd.
Now he has a whole inventory: He’ll shake hooves (蹄), come when called, walk on a rope, wave, smile for the camera, and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cue cards (提示板), which always earns the most applause.
It’s hard to believe that the goat kid nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals I’ve ever had.

A. He was injured.
B. He was sold.

5. What made the author decide to bring the baby goat home
A. His affection for the little goat.

D. His strong desire to keep a pet.
6. What does the author think of Quincy
A. Faithful and shy.
B. Strong and aggressive.
C. Hardworking and brave.
D. Intelligent and obedient.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Quincy: A Poor Creature

C
This painting Spring Bouquet has a precise structure. The flowers spill over into the lower left-hand corner, with an imbalance as free and as wild as nature. But at once the artist responds to this unbalance. To the right of the vase, Renoir has developed a heavy shadow area, rich in purples and sharply contrasted with the light below it. The placing of the straight line in the lower right side is necessary. If the reader covers this line, he will see that the composition becomes unbalanced.
The Impressionist technique had not yet developed when Renoir painted this picture. Yet the painting with light and color indicates Impressionism is around the corner; there is something of that school in the feeling of the out-of-doors that Renoir has acquired. The texture (纹理) of the flowers is described. Above all, one can’t help saying the very nice smell of the flowers is there, too.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in 1841. He began working as a young painter of porcelain and textiles. At age 21, Renoir entered the cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and went on to study under the instructions of painter Charles Gleyre’s. Even though his paintings had been initially rejected by the Academy and the public, with time he became one of the most admired artists of his generation.
Unfortunately, in 1899, he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (风湿性关节炎). It is a disease that causes a lot of pain. In addition, the person affected by it may also have deformities (畸形). Consequently, his movements became very limited and each movement was a big and certainly painful effort.
His son, Jean Renoir, writes in the book Renoir, My Father after his father passed away, the reaction of the people to the painting of the father, after seeing his hands:
Visitors who were unprepared for this could not take their eyes off his deformity. Though they did not dare to mention it, their reaction would be expressed by some such phrase as “It isn’t possible!” With hands like that, how can he paint those pictures There’s some mystery somewhere.
8. What can readers see in the painting
A. A vase in the left corner. B. A shadow to the vase’s right.
C. A straight line at the bottom. D. A natural light in the middle.
9. What seems quite special about this picture when people appreciate it
A. The painting material. B. The color choice.
C. The smelly flower taste. D. The impressive feeling.
10. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Renoir My Father. B. Spring Bouquet.
C. Rheumatoid arthritis. D. Renoir’s bravery.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Patience Is a Lifetime Practice B. Pain Passes, but Beauty Remains
C. Impressionism Is a Unique Technique D. Work hard, and You Will Catch Up
D
Each year on October 15, Global Handwashing Day is observed to strengthen the health awareness and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. And a hand—shaped robot called “Pepe”, which encourages kids to wash their hands, has helped pupils at a remote Indian primary school to develop habits of personal hygiene (卫生).
Pepe was fixed on the wall above a hand—washing station at Wayanad Government Primary School in Kerala, which has about 100 pupils aged 5 and 10. A small video screen behind the green plastic Pepe acted as a “mouth”, allowing researchers to tele—operate the robot to speak to the pupils and draw their attention to the poster outlining the steps of effective hand—washing. A set of moving “eyes” helped Pepe pay attention to the children’s actions.
The robot helped pupils wash their hands more effectively, increasing their rates of hand—washing by 40 percent. Pupils spent twice as long washing their hands after Pepe’s arrival. And more than 95% of the students could correctly determine when hand—washing with soap has to be done—before a meal and after a visit to the toilet.
Hand—washing is one of the most effective ways against the spread of diarrhea and respiratory infections. Dr. Amol Deshmukh, from the University of Glasgow’s School of Computing Science, led the project in partnership with colleagues from Amrita University. He said, “We were delighted by the success of Pepe’s visit to this primary school. The children were excited to interact with this relatively simple machine, which was clearly good for keeping their hands clean. Dr. Bhavani from Amrita University said,” AMMACHI (Amrita Multi Modal Application and Computer Human Interaction) Labs have taken multi plans to address common challenges facing low—income rural communities in India and worldwide using technology.”
12. Why was “Pepe” fixed at the Primary School
A. To watch on pupil’ actions. B. To wash children’s hands.
C. To freshen the environment. D. To develop children’s health habits.
13. How did the robot bring changes to the pupils
A. By playing with pupils. B. By providing knowledge.
C. By offering pupils soap. D. By washing pupils’ hands.
14. What can you learn about Pepe’s visit to the primary school
A. It was a failure. B. It had no effect.
C. It was a success. D. It was a waste of time.
15. What does the underlined word “address” in the last paragraph mean
A. deal with. B. write a place on. C. make a speech to. D. speak to.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For safety, funfair ride operators should double-check the rides and be away of any dangerous things.(为了安全起见,游乐场经营者应该仔细检查游乐设施,避开任何危险物品。)”可知,游乐场经营者应该仔细检查游乐设施,故选B。
【2题详解】

A few years ago, I was leaving the kennel (养狗场) where I worked, only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The kennel’s owners are known animal rescuers and I figured someone outside dumped him over the fence.
I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, chickens and fish, but never goats. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom. Quincy proved to be quite special. When he was about a week old, I tapped my fingers on the bathroom floor and said, “Lie down.” I was amazed when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row.
A quick study, Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say “load up,” and spends the day wandering with my dogs, whom he considers his brothers and sisters. He knows the name of everything I feed him — apples, water, carrots, and strawberries.
I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks. Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd.
Now he has a whole inventory: He’ll shake hooves (蹄), come when called, walk on a rope, wave, smile for the camera, and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cue cards (提示板), which always earns the most applause.

This painting Spring Bouquet has a precise structure. The flowers spill over into the lower left-hand corner, with an imbalance as free and as wild as nature. But at once the artist responds to this unbalance. To the right of the vase, Renoir has developed a heavy shadow area, rich in purples and sharply contrasted with the light below it. The placing of the straight line in the lower right side is necessary. If the reader covers this line, he will see that the composition becomes unbalanced.
The Impressionist technique had not yet developed when Renoir painted this picture. Yet the painting with light and color indicates Impressionism is around the corner; there is something of that school in the feeling of the out-of-doors that Renoir has acquired. The texture (纹理) of the flowers is described. Above all, one can’t help saying the very nice smell of the flowers is there, too.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in 1841. He began working as a young painter of porcelain and textiles. At age 21, Renoir entered the cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and went on to study under the instructions of painter Charles Gleyre’s. Even though his paintings had been initially rejected by the Academy and the public, with time he became one of the most admired artists of his generation.
Unfortunately, in 1899, he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (风湿性关节炎). It is a disease that causes a lot of pain. In addition, the person affected by it may also have deformities (畸形). Consequently, his movements became very limited and each movement was a big and certainly painful effort.
His son, Jean Renoir, writes in the book Renoir, My Father after his father passed away, the reaction of the people to the painting of the father, after seeing his hands:
Visitors who were unprepared for this could not take their eyes off his deformity. Though they did not dare to mention it, their reaction would be expressed by some such phrase as “It isn’t possible!” With hands like that, how can he paint those pictures There’s some mystery somewhere.
8. What can readers see in the painting
A. A vase in the left corner. B. A shadow to the vase’s right.
C. A straight line at the bottom. D. A natural light in the middle.
9. What seems quite special about this picture when people appreciate it
A. The painting material. B. The color choice.
C. The smelly flower taste. D. The impressive feeling.
10. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Renoir, My Father. B. Spring Bouquet.
C. Rheumatoid arthritis. D. Renoir’s bravery.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Patience Is a Lifetime Practice B. Pain Passes, but Beauty Remains
C. Impressionism Is a Unique Technique D. Work hard, and You Will Catch Up
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了著名法国画家雷诺阿(Renoir)的代表作品Spring Bouquet(春之花束),这幅画使用的灯光和颜色表明印象派即将到来。后来他因患上风湿关节炎,导致手严重变形,但他也坚持画画,让游客惊叹不已。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“To the right of the vase, Renoir has developed a heavy shadow area, rich in purples and sharply contrasted with the light below it.”(在花瓶的右边,雷诺阿(Renoir)构造了一个厚重的、充满紫色的阴影区域,与下面的光线形成了鲜明的对比。)可知,读者在这幅画中可以看到,花瓶的右边有一块紫色的阴影部分。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Impressionist technique had not yet developed when Renoir painted this picture. Yet the painting with light and color indicates Impressionism is around the corner; there is something of that school in the feeling of the out-of-doors that Renoir has acquired. The texture (纹理) of the flowers is described. Above all, one can’t help saying the very nice smell of the flowers is there, too.”(雷诺阿(Renoir)画这幅画时,印象派的技法还没有发展起来。然而,这幅带有光和色彩的画表明印象派即将到来;在雷诺阿所获得的户外的感觉中有一些那个学派的东西。花的条纹被描绘出来了。最重要的是,人们不禁会说,还有鲜花的芳香。)可知,人们在欣赏这幅画时,已经能感受到印象派技法了,因为它给人们留下了深刻的印象。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第三段“Unfortunately, in 1899, he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (风湿性关节炎). It is a disease that causes a lot of pain. In addition, the person affected by it may also have deformities (畸形). Consequently, his movements became very limited and each movement was a big and certainly painful effort. ”(不幸的是,在1899年,他被诊断出类风湿关节炎。这是一种会引起很多痛苦的疾病。此外,受其影响的人也可能有畸形。因此,他的动作变得非常有限,每一个动作都是巨大而痛苦的努力。)可知,雷诺阿(Renoir)后期在创作画时,承受了极大的痛苦,付出了巨大的努力;再根据最后一段中“Visitors who were unprepared for this could not take their eyes off his deformity. ”(那些对这毫无准备的游客无法将目光从他畸形的手上移开。)可知,不了解他患风湿性关节炎的游客,对他手的畸形很好奇,都目不转睛的看着,所以“this”在这里指代的就是上文的风湿关节炎。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Visitors who were unprepared for this could not take their eyes off his deformity. Though they did not dare to mention it, their reaction would be expressed by some such phrase as “It isn’t possible!” With hands like that, how can he paint those pictures There’s some mystery somewhere.”(那些对这毫无准备的游客无法将目光从他畸形的手上移开。虽然他们不敢提,他们的反应却是“这是不可能的!”有那样的手,他怎么能画出那样的画?应该是有什么秘诀。)可知,虽然雷诺阿(Renoir)因为风湿关节炎导致手变形了,承受了极大的痛苦,但也坚持创作出绝美的作品,留与后人欣赏。故选B项。

Each year on October 15, Global Handwashing Day is observed to strengthen the health awareness and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. And a hand—shaped robot called “Pepe”, which encourages kids to wash their hands, has helped pupils at a remote Indian primary school to develop habits of personal hygiene (卫生).
Pepe was fixed on the wall above a hand—washing station at Wayanad Government Primary School in Kerala, which has about 100 pupils aged 5 and 10. A small video screen behind the green plastic Pepe acted as a “mouth”, allowing researchers to tele—operate the robot to speak to the pupils and draw their attention to the poster outlining the steps of effective hand—washing. A set of moving “eyes” helped Pepe pay attention to the children’s actions.
The robot helped pupils wash their hands more effectively, increasing their rates of hand—washing by 40 percent. Pupils spent twice as long washing their hands after Pepe’s arrival. And more than 95% of the students could correctly determine when hand—washing with soap has to be done—before a meal and after a visit to the toilet.
Hand—washing is one of the most effective ways against the spread of diarrhea and respiratory infections. Dr. Amol Deshmukh, from the University of Glasgow’s School of Computing Science, led the project in partnership with colleagues from Amrita University. He said, “We were delighted by the success of Pepe’s visit to this primary school. The children were excited to interact with this relatively simple machine, which was clearly good for keeping their hands clean. Dr. Bhavani from Amrita University said,” AMMACHI (Amrita Multi Modal Application and Computer Human Interaction) Labs have taken multi plans to address common challenges facing low—income rural communities in India and worldwide using technology.”
12. Why was “Pepe” fixed at the Primary School
A. To watch on pupil’ actions. B. To wash children’s hands.
C. To freshen the environment. D. To develop children’s health habits.
13. How did the robot bring changes to the pupils
A. By playing with pupils. B. By providing knowledge.
C. By offering pupils soap. D. By washing pupils’ hands.
14. What can you learn about Pepe’s visit to the primary school
A. It was a failure. B. It had no effect.
C. It was a success. D. It was a waste of time.
15. What does the underlined word “address” in the last paragraph mean
A. deal with. B. write a place on. C. make a speech to. D. speak to.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为了让孩子们养成洗手的好习惯,印度一学校在洗手站上方的墙安装了一个机器人来吸引学生的注意力,让他们勤洗手。这个机器人提高了学生洗手的频率。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“And a hand—shaped robot called “Pepe”, which encourages kids to wash their hands, has helped pupils at a remote Indian primary school to develop habits of personal hygiene (卫生).(一个叫“Pepe”的手形机器人鼓励孩子们洗手,它帮助印度一所偏远小学的学生养成了个人卫生习惯。)”可知,这个机器人就是为了鼓励学生养成洗手的好习惯。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“A small video screen behind the green plastic Pepe acted as a “mouth”, allowing researchers to tele—operate the robot to speak to the pupils and draw their attention to the poster outlining the steps of effective hand—washing. A set of moving “eyes” helped Pepe pay attention to the children’s actions.(绿色塑料Pepe后面的一个小电视屏幕充当了一个“嘴”,使研究人员能够遥控机器人对学生说话,并把他们的注意力吸引到概述有效洗手步骤的海报上。一组移动的“眼睛”帮助佩佩注意孩子们的行动。)”可知,研究人员通过操控这个机器人来让学生关注墙上的海报,海报上有关于有效洗手的步骤,来告知学生如何洗手。因此可知,这个机器人是通过给学生传播一些关于洗手方面的知识来帮助学生养成勤洗手的习惯。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“The robot helped pupils wash their hands more effectively, increasing their rates of hand—washing by 40 percent. Pupils spent twice as long washing their hands after Pepe’s arrival. And more than 95% of the students could correctly determine when hand—washing with soap has to be done—before a meal and after a visit to the toilet.(这个机器人帮助学生更有效地洗手,洗手率提高了40%。佩佩到来后,学生们洗手的时间增加了一倍。超过95%的学生能够正确判断何时必须用肥皂洗手——饭前和如厕后。)”可知,这个机器人的到来提高了学生的洗手率,使得学生洗手的时间增加了一倍,因此可知,它的到来是很成功的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“He said, “We were delighted by the success of Pepe’s visit to this primary school. The children were excited to interact with this relatively simple machine, which was clearly good for keeping their hands clean. Dr. Bhavani from Amrita University said,” AMMACHI (Amrita Multi Modal Application and Computer Human Interaction) Labs have taken multi plans to address common challenges facing low—income rural communities in India and worldwide using technology.”(他说:“我们对佩佩访问这所小学的成功感到高兴。孩子们兴奋地与这台相对简单的机器互动,这显然有利于保持他们的手干净。Amrita大学的Bhavani博士说:“AMMACHI (Amrita多模式应用和人机交互)实验室已经采取了多种计划,利用技术解决印度和全世界低收入农村社区面临的共同挑战。”)”可知,机器人的到来使得学生们养成勤洗手的习惯,因此可推知,研究者们利用科技解决了一些问题、一些挑战,因此可知划线词与A项“deal with解决”意义相近。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者就如何找工作提了四条建议。
【16题详解】
空格后的句子“This includes increasing your understanding of how to do well in the application process, including during interviews.(这包括让你更好地理解如何做好申请,包括面试)”是说找工作有很多事要做,而句中的this应该指的是上一句的内容,所以空格处的句子也应该是说找工作有很多事要做,所以G项“You should do anything to set yourself positively apart from other applicants.(你应该做任何事情来让自己从其他求职者中脱颖而出)”符合题意,空格后的this就是指G项中提到的这种做法。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Customize your application materials. You are likely to stand out if you tailor each resume to the job you apply for. You can have a basic resume and adjust it to fit the job description by using any obvious keywords from the job listing.(定制你的申请材料。如果你为申请的职位量身定制每份简历,你很可能会脱颖而出。你可以先有一份基本的简历,然后用招聘启事上任何明显的关键词来调整简历,使之符合职位描述)”可知,在第二段作者主要建议要量身定制每份简历,所以空格处的句子也应该和拟定简历相关,而F项“You should also emphasize relevant skills sought in the job listing.(你还应该强调招聘启事中所需的相关技能)”就是建议在简历中强调你具备招聘启事中所需的相关技能,所以F项符合题意。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据空格后的therefore可知,空格处的句子和下一句应该是因果关系,而空格后的句子“Therefore, you can limit it based on location or other factors.(因此,您可以根据位置或其他因素来限制它)”建议根据位置或其他因素来限制它。句中的it指的是什么?为什么限制它?从D项“Depending on the industry, this could be a very long list.(根据行业的不同,这可能是一个很长的清单)”中可以得到答案,it指的是D项中a very long list;因为很长,所以要根据位置或其他因素来限制它。所以D项符合题意。故选D项。
【19题详解】
空格处的句子应该是该段的主题句。根据下文的句子“Whether you’re looking for a new opportunity in your current field or you’re hoping to start a career in a new field, you will probably find value in meeting other professionals in that industry. You can do this at industry-specific events, conferences, online platforms or through other people you know.(无论你是在当前领域寻找新机会,还是希望在一个新的领域开始职业生涯,你都可能会发现结识该行业的其他专业人士的价值。你可以在特定行业的活动、会议、在线平台或通过你认识的人来做这件事)”可知,作者建议去结识行业的其他专业人士,并且建议了结识他们的方式。所以该段的主题应该和拓展人脉有关。所以C项“Expand network in your preferred industry.(在你喜欢的行业拓展人脉)”填入空格处符合题意。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据空格前的句子“After an interview, you are recommended to send a thank-you note to the person who interviewed you.(面试结束后,建议你向面试你的人发送一封感谢信)”可知,面试后,你应该给面试官发送一封感谢信。根据空格后的“for instance”可知,后面的例子应该是对空格处的句子进行说明,而后面的句子“For instance, if your networking helped you get an interview, show appreciation to those who helped you, or if you received help from an assistant or another professional, you could also thank them for their help as well.(例如,如果你的人际关系帮助你获得了一次面试机会,对那些帮助过你的人表示感谢,或者如果你从助理或其他专业人士那里得到了帮助,你也可以感谢他们的帮助)”是进一步建议你要感谢的人。所以空格处的句子应该是在上一句的基础上进一步建议你去感谢他人。B项“But you can also take it further.(但你也可以更进一步)”填入空格处,正好衔接上下文。故选B项。

The other day after work, I was walking down the street while I saw a boy riding a nice unicycle, one of those bicycle with only one wheel. Dressing in all pink from head to toe, he was singing a song which was sounded like a kid’s song. I thought he must be total crazy. Just then, a lady dropped 20-dollar bill on the ground, but he didn’t realize it and started to walk away. The guy in pink picked out the money and gave it back to her. After that, he rode on but soon disappeared before the lady could thank him. How a strange and good guy!
【答案】51. while→when
52. bicycle→bicycles
53. Dressing→Dressed 54. 去掉was
55. total→totally
56. dropped后加a 57. he→she 58. out→up 59. but→and 60. How→What
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者遇到的一个打扮怪异但是心地善良的男孩。
【详解】1.考查固定句型。句意:有一天下班后,我走在街上,看到一个男孩骑着一辆漂亮的独轮车,那种只有一个轮子的自行车。此处是固定句型be doing sth when...“正在做某事时,就在这时……”。故while改为when。
2.考查名词复数。句意:有一天下班后,我走在街上,看到一个男孩骑着一辆漂亮的独轮车,那种只有一个轮子的自行车。those后接名词复数形式。故bicycle改为bicycles。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意:他从头到脚穿着粉红色的衣服,唱着一首听起来像儿歌的歌。dress是及物动词,与主语是动宾关系,应用过去分词,作状语。故Dressing改为Dressed。
4.考查动词。句意:他从头到脚穿着粉红色的衣服,唱着一首听起来像儿歌的歌。sound是不及物动词,没有被动语态。故去掉was。
5.考查副词。句意:我想他一定是疯了。此处修饰形容词crazy,应用副词,作状语。故total改为totally。
6.考查冠词。句意:就在这时,一位女士把一张20美元的钞票掉在了地上,但她没有意识到,就走开了。bill是可数名词,此处泛指“一张20美元的钞票”,应用不定冠词,20-dollar是以辅音音素开头的词,应用a。故dropped后加a。
7.考查代词。句意:就在这时,一位女士把一张20美元的钞票掉在了地上,但她没有意识到,就走开了。此处指代上文中的a lady,应用she。故he改为she。
8.考查动词短语。句意:那个穿粉色衣服的人拿起钱还给了她。根据语境可知,此处指“捡起钞票”,应用动词短语pick up。故out改为up。
9.考查连词。句意:之后,他继续骑着,很快就消失了,女士还没来得及感谢他。上下句是并列顺承关系,不存在转折关系。故用but改为and。
10.考查固定句型。句意:多么奇怪的好人啊!固定句型:what a/an adj+可数名词单数!=How+adj+a/an+可数名词单数!故How改为What。
