6.which 考查非限制性定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,逗号前面的句子结构完整,空后句子缺少主语,故推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句。设空处在从句中作主语,指代前面整个主句的内容,故填which。
7.was attacked 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在土耳其露营时,她听到了枪声,在蒙古的帐篷中,她被人袭击。设空处与and前的heard为并列谓语,应用一般过去时,主语She为第三人称单数,和attack之间为被动关系,需用被动语态,故填was attacked。
8.it 考查代词。句意:当英国广播公司问她徒步环游世界需要什么样的人时……。此处为固定句型“it takes+名词+to do sth.(做某事需要……)”,it在这里作形式主语,代替to walk around the world。
9.stubbornness 考查词性转换。此处表示“它可能是野心、些许固执和激情的结合”。设空处与ambition、passion并列,又被a little修饰,故填不可数名词stubbornness。
10.to share 考查不定式。句意:她说:“徒步教会了我,一切的人和物都有可以分享的故事,我们只需要愿意倾听。”此处应用不定式to share作后置定语,修饰story,表示“可以分享的故事”,故填to share。
B
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在苏格兰的一所小学里,一个老师让学生使用老式钢笔写字取得良好效果的故事。
11.keyboards 考查名词的数。句意:现在,大多数人拿起键盘的速度比拿起笔的速度还快。根据空前的介词for可知,设空处应填名词作宾语,keyboard为可数名词,前面没有冠词等限定词修饰,因此应用名词的复数形式。故填keyboards。
12.is 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:他觉得整洁的书写仍然是一项重要的技能,所以他不仅让学生手写,还让他们用老式的钢笔写字。设空处在that引导的宾语从句中作谓语,此处陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,且主语handwriting为不可数名词,应用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填is。
13.with 考查介词。句意同上题。根据空后的名词old fashioned fountain pens可知,设空处应填介词,表示“使用”应用介词with。故填with。
易错分析
本题易错填by。错误原因是根据句中的并列连词not only...but also...和by hand判断填by。需注意,使用工具应用with。
14.were used 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:钢笔很久以前就在学校里使用了,最近又重新流行起来,因为它们可以重新填充。设空处作谓语,根据时间状语long ago可知,应用一般过去时,主语Fountain pens为复数,和动词use之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were used。
15.simply 考查副词。句意:现在,一个作家只是把一支空笔扔掉,再买一支新的。设空处作状语,修饰动词throws,应用副词形式。故填simply。
16.a 考查冠词。句意同上题。空后的代词one指代可数名词pen,此处表示泛指,且new的发音是以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
17.improvement 考查名词。句意:他很高兴看到他的学生和他自己的书写都有了改善。根据空前的冠词the可知,设空处应填名词作介词with的宾语,表示“改善”是improvement,为不可数名词。故填improvement。
联想拓展
-ment是名词后缀,很多动词加上-ment都可以变为名词。如:argument争论;movement移动;statement陈述;advertisement广告。
18.and 考查连词。句意同上题。空前短语in his students' writing和空后的短语in his own writing为并列关系,应用and连接。故填and。
19.to stay 考查非谓语动词。句意:他知道电脑会一直存在,不会消失。be here to stay意为“继续存在,扎根下来”,是固定搭配。故填to stay。
20.themselves 考查代词。句意:然而,他认为,用钢笔练习可以帮助学生集中注意力,写得更快,他们可以为自己感到自豪。根据空前的介词of可知,设空处应填代词作宾语,此处表示“他们自己”,故填themselves。
