My turning point came 3. the desire to challenge myself led me to choose China for further education.It was a decision not only for 4. (academy) growth,but also to experience the responsibility of looking after 5.(me).Choosing to study international relations in English,I 6.

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述“我”到中国学习的经历。
1.rooted 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,passion后面为定语,而passion与所给动词root之间存在被动关系,故使用过去分词形式,相当于which was rooted...。
2.but 考查连词。根据句意,空格前“当时学习和探索这个极具魅力的国家的想法还没有占据我的脑海”与空格后“或许在将来去探索和理解某些东西这个念头始终留存在脑海”之间存在转折关系,故填but。
3.when 考查定语从句。分析句子结构,空格后应为定语从句,修饰限定先行词turning point,并在定语从句中充当时间状语,故使用关系副词when。
4.academic 考查形容词。此处用所给词的形容词形式,修饰限定growth。
5.myself 考查反身代词。根据句意,到中国深造不仅有利于“我”个人的学术进步,而且能体验到自己照顾自己的责任。此处使用反身代词myself。
6.started 考查动词时态。此处承接上文,选择国际关系专业后,“我”开启了扩大视野的中国之旅。因此用一般过去时。
7.has become 考查动词时态。根据前面的时间状语“Since then”可断定使用现在完成时态。
8.reasons 考查名词的数。根据前文的many可知,此处应使用名词复数形式。

Passage 3
My first visit to China was in 2016.By then,I 1.(study) Chinese for four years.Those six days in Beijing were life-changing for me.I spared no effort to use my broken Chinese to write diary entries 2. insisted on using Chinese to communicate with the locals.
So,my pursuit(追求) of studying,and ultimately working in China,had begun.First,I studied at Tsinghua University for a time before applying 3. the joint honors degree program that I am currently on,4. allowed me to study at BNU for two years as part of the program.
This has very much enhanced my desire to live and work in China.During my time at BNU,I have tried my best 5. (root) myself into university life and engage with Chinese students naturally.One of the ways in which I’ve done this,is by seeking one of my other 6. (passion)—playing the violin—and joining the university’s String Society,of which I am now vice president.7.(organize) concerts and performing with fellow students have really made me feel a part of the community at BNU.Although I am a foreign student,and my Chinese is far from 8. (perfectly),this foreign identity is nevertheless forgotten.In fact,my Chinese friends outnumber my friends in the UK,and Chinese has become my first language of 9. (choose).
This is the power of learning a language and 10. it is so important—it builds bridges,resolves misunderstandings and makes the people of the world more connected.
答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍作者通过在中国学习和生活经历,说明语言学习的重要性。
1.had studied 考查动词时态。根据时间状语By then提示,此处应使用过去完成时态。
2.and 考查连词。根据上下文逻辑和语义,“我不遗余力地使用支离破碎的中文记日记”与后面“坚持用中文和当地人交流”是并列关系。故使用并列连词and。
3.for 考查介词。apply for为固定搭配,意为“申请”。
4.which 考查定语从句。关系代词which指代上文一整句话的内容,并在从句中充当主语。
5.to root 考查非谓语动词。try one’s best后接动词不定式。
6.passions 考查名词的数。此处one of+名词结构,名词应使用复数形式。
7.Organizing 考查非谓语动词。根据句法分析及并列连词and提示,此处使用并列的动词-ing形式作主语,表达“组织音乐会以及与同伴表演”。
8.perfect 考查形容词。far from perfect远非完美。
9.choice 考查名词。根据句法分析,介词of后接名词作宾语。
10.why 考查连接副词。根据句法分析和并列连词and提示,空格后面的从句与the power of learning a language构成并列表语。破折号后面对学习语言的重要性进行了列举。因此应填why。
Passage 4
Online Therapy
As its name suggests,online therapy allows people with mental health disorders to connect to a licensed doctor over the Internet.Interestingly enough,the history of 1. (receive) therapy in an online setting dates back roughly two decades.Yet,it wasn’t until only less than five years ago 2. large scale online therapy providers started offering their services to the public.
The concept is quite simple.Anyone who has access to a smart device and an Internet 3.(connect) will have the ability to talk to a doctor online.Many providers ask the potential client several questions prior to signing up.These questions can range from how old you are to 4. your current status is.Once the service 5. (understand) your unique profile,their algorithm(算法) then pairs you with a licensed doctor.Clients generally then proceed to 6. secure and dedicated chat room that is only 7. (access) to them and their doctor.
As you can make certain by now,there are a large list of benefits to this type of therapy,8. is why thousands have signed up for it so far.People 9.(general) think it is as effective as traditional treatment,but more efficient and private.
However,it’s important 10. (keep) in mind that though many people are already using one of these services,it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good option for you.Should you decide to join one,understand the risks and potentially limited impact it can have.
答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络诊疗。
1.receiving 考查非谓语动词。根据上文介词of后接名词、代词或相当于名词的词作宾语。故使用动词-ing形式。
2.that 考查强调结构。根据句法分析,可以断定这是强调结构,被强调的部分是“not until only less than five years ago”。
3.connection 考查词性转换。根据句法分析,主语是Anyone,后面是who引导的定语从句,从句中介词的宾语有两个,用并列连词and连接,故此处使用名词connection。
4.what 考查名词性从句。句中from...to...后面是宾语从句,根据句意“医师的提问从年龄到你目前的状况如何等”可知,此处应为what。
5.understands 考查动词时态。根据句法分析,这里是once引导的条件状语从句,由主句谓语动词pairs可知,应使用一般现在时态,故用understands。
6.a 考查冠词。根据句意:委托人着手给你提供一个安全的专用的聊天室。使用不定冠词,表示泛指。
7.accessible 考查形容词。此空处于系动词之后,应为形容词作表语。
8.which 考查定语从句。根据句法分析,此空应为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句,which指代前面一整句话的内容。
9.generally 考查副词。这里用副词形式,修饰谓语动词think。
10.to keep 考查非谓语动词。根据句法分析,it为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中国古代哲学家孔子及其思想。

5.have heard 考查动词时态。根据上下文,此处用现在完成时表达“或许已经听过”。
6.what 考查名词性从句。what引导宾语从句。该句表达“己所不欲,勿施于人”的含义。
7.teaching 考查非谓语动词。根据上文中出现的短语was dedicated to可知,to是介词,后面接宾语,所以应使用动词-ing形式作宾语。
8.to realize 考查非谓语动词。expect后接动词不定式作宾语。
9.are being followed 考查动词时态和语态。此处表达“他的教育教学理念至今还在被广泛效仿”,故使用现在进行时的被动语态。
10.Although/Though 考查连词。根据前后句意,尽管孔子去世多年,然而,他的语录和教学观点还保存在选集中。前后分句之间存在让步关系,故用Although/Though。

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中国大街小巷悄然兴起的文化包——深圳包。
1.abandoning 考查非谓语动词。根据前面“with+复合结构”中many young people与abandon存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故使用动词-ing形式。
2.which 考查定语从句。逗号后面分句中画线部分指代前面的the “Shenzhen bag”,并在句中充当主语,故用关系代词which。
3.like 考查介词。根据句意可知,这种手包在像北京、上海这样的大城市也非常普遍。故填介词like。

I was eight years old and forgot all the arrangements being made for our journey as a family from Toowoomba to London in 1950.My mother was in great pain and wished to visit specialists in London.My father reluctantly had to sell our property “Hamilton Park” near Wallumbilla,in southwest Queensland.
The day before we boarded the ship SS Orion,Father said a tender farewell to his five-year-old red dog,Spider,who was loved by us all.Father’s friend Sandy had been getting to know Spider for many weeks,as Sandy was to be his guardian(监护人) while we were overseas.We didn’t know how long my mother’s treatment would take or how long we would be away.
Six weeks later,a blue air letter arrived from Sandy,giving my father the news that Spider had run away just two weeks after we had sailed.I will always remember my father’s disappointed look as he read this news.Sandy had advertised constantly on ABC radio and in other regional newspapers.Despite many “sightings”,the dog was never found.It seems Spider just kept running and searching for us.As he was a red dog,almost yellow in colour,my father thought he would be shot or trapped,because of his appearance.But our family thought that Father held a secret hope that Spider was still alive.
We sailed back to Australia two years later and re-established our home in Toowoomba.My father immediately began his own search for Spider.The newspapers and radio were flooded by his repeated calls to the people who had said they had seen his dog.Many false calls and sightings meant that a huge atmosphere of disappointment hung over our household.My mother was fed up with all this and impatient for my father to accept the inevitable.The dog was gone—possibly shot or dead from starvation and exhaustion.

One cold morning after eight months,my father had a call from an elderly lady,375 kilometres from us. She told my father on the telephone,it was “just glimpses of a dog in the shadows” of her disused tennis court.That was enough for my father.We set off immediately.Arriving there,we followed the lady to the tennis court.Spider had leaped over the tennis court fence with great force and certainty.My father’s eyes shone,and the old lady and I stood there with tears in our eyes.
Spider never once took his eyes off my father as we drove home. Every so often I received a lick of gratefulness.He spent the rest of his days—years—in our home,content and satisfied,always in wait for my sister and me coming home from school where he would give us a lot of licks to make sure we were all right.He then waited for my father by the garage door.We never left him anywhere alone again.原创题组练(十) 应用文写作+读后续写

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’d always make New Year’s resolutions.I’d show up at the gym each year on January 1st with a newfound enthusiasm to lose weight.Then I would quit.Every year.It was an endless cycle that lasted until I was thirty years old.
After moving to a new city on my thirtieth birthday,I joined a nearby gym.It was July,not even New Year’s,but this time I meant it!
I’d always wanted to join the Zumba(尊巴) classes at my previous gyms.I would hear the music from the main floor and dream about sneaking into the back of the class.I’d press “Play” at home and,in my twenties,I even participated in filming a dance fitness DVD.All of this led to obtaining a Zumba teaching certification.But I was unlikely to walk into a dance class.Everyone in the classes always looked like professional dancers—smooth and on the beat.Certainly,most were nowhere near my own size—well over 200 pounds and 175 cm.And if they were,they stood awkwardly in the back of the room as if they wanted to remain invisible.
Just a few weeks later,I wanted to change.I had to pick up the courage to take the Zumba class—and that courage really paid off.Not only did I find the strength to take the class,but I knocked down an existing no-new-friends wall in order to connect with four other amazing women—resolutioners who also found love in dancing.
The four of us,front-row Zumba enthusiasts,were regulars.Each week,we texted each other and made sure we were there for our favorite weeknight dance party.All of us,unique in our own rights,let down our hair and danced like there was no tomorrow.Personally,I was really proud that I finally had a regular routine.Almost a year later,I was still holding strong.
After seven months,our Zumba instructor quit without notice.The fitness manager told our class that Zumba would be cancelled indefinitely until she could find a replacement,which could take a few months.A few months with no classes With a certification collecting dust,I jokingly told my dance crew that I’d be willing to teach the class.“We can’t wait a few months!If that’s the case,we could continue our weeknight dance parties,” I joked casually.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
To my surprise,the ladies were all serious in their support for me teaching the class.
I walked into my interview room, still unconfident about my physical appearance.
参考范文
To my surprise,the ladies were all serious in their support for me teaching the class.Yes,I had the certification,but was I ready to actually teach an entire class With a size of over 200 pounds and 175 cm,I didn’t even look like a fitness instructor.Reluctant but hopeful,I submitted an application to the manager with a mixed expression on my face.She would probably never admit it,but in response to my application,her eyes said,“Are you sure you are applying to be the instructor ” But the words that came from her mouth were,“Great.I’ve scheduled an interview for you next Tuesday.By the way,you will be interviewed in front of a live class.”
I walked into my interview room,still unconfident about my physical appearance.With palms sweating and heart pounding wildly,I was nervously waiting to begin.However,on looking back on my dance experience this year,I was determined never to be afraid of walking into a fitness class despite a larger build.With the four ladies’ encouraging words echoing in my ears,I let down my hair and danced crazily,showing the class how to have fun during the process of getting fit.Thunderous applause erupting,I got the Zumba instructor job.The same woman hesitant about attending class would now be teaching others.Now that’s a resolution to be proud of.
