1.when　
when在这里表示“就在这时(突然)”。
2．What　
What
do
you
think
about
sth.
？表示“你认为……怎么样？”。
3．to
reduce　
be
supposed
to
do
sth.意为“应当做某事”，故此处填
to
reduce。
4．have
learned/have
learnt　根据上下文语境可知，奶奶已经学会爱上自己的笑纹，所以用现在完成时。
5．actually　形容词
actual
转换为副词
actually，修饰整个句子。
6．her　根据该句主语
she
可知，应填形容词性物主代词
her。

a
sound，关系词在从句中作主语，故用
that/which。
8．better　根据语境以及空前的“a

的比较级是better。
9．over　over
the
years
表示“历年来，多年以来”。

Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·郑州第三次质量预测)About
a
month
ago,
I
was
walking
alone
on
the
beach
in
the
evening.
I
have
already
finished
my
homework,
and
I
wanted
to
relax.
Suddenly,
I
saw
two
children
stand
on
the
beach.
They
seem
to
have
found
something
made
of
metal,
which
was
big
and
reddish brown.
When
I
took
a
look
at
it,
I
knew
immediate
that
it
was
an
old
bomb!
I
told
them
to
move
away
the
bomb.
Fortunately,
I
had
a
mobile
phone
around
with
me,
so
I
called
the
police
and
told
them
that
had
been
found.
About
15
minutes
late,
the
police
arrived.
I
was
praised
for
it
but
then
I
went
home.
The
next
day,
I
heard
that
the
police
had
blown
the
bomb
up.
It
had
been
on
the
sand
for
over
60
years!
答案：第二句：have→had
第三句：stand→standing
第四句：seem→seemed
第五句：immediate→immediately
第六句：away→from或away后加from
第七句：去掉around;

Ⅰ.完形填空
(2016·河北省高考适应性考试)Visitors
to
the
dry,
hot
Sonoran
Desert
of
the
southern
Arizona
and
northern
Mexico
are
amazed
at
the
many armed
giants.
They
are
the
saguaro
cacti
(树形仙人掌),
a
giant
which
gives
the
landscape
its
__1__
appearance.
In
the
dry
desert
the
saguaro
cacti
can
live
for
more
than
200
years,
grow
to
a
__2__
of
60
feet,
and
have
as
many
as
50
arms.
More
__3__，
the
saguaro
cacti
still
persist
despite
the
unbearable
desert
climate.
Those
that
have
grown
to
old
age
have
__4__
droughts,
freezes,
flash
floods,
and
bush
fires
as
well
as
the
__5__
caused
by
groups
of
rats
that
eat
their
seedlings
(秧苗).
Like
all
other
desert
__6__，
these
leafless
giants
can
store
water
for
use
during
the
desert's
long
dry
seasons
by
__7__
water
through
their
long
roots.
Naturally,
the
great
saguaro
cacti
are
a(n)
__8__
part
of
the
desert
life.
Actually
the
giants
may
be
__9__
to
many
animals,
including
woodpeckers,
owls,
doves,
bats
and
insects.
In
addition,
after
a
saguaro
__10__
the
age
of
50
or
so,
cold resistant
flowers
__11__
at
the
top
of
the
plants
once
a
year.
These
flowers
__12__
birds,
bats
and
bees,
which
come
for
the
honey
and
for
the
tasty
flowers
with
their
black
seeds.
__13__
the
splendid
saguaros
are
plentiful
in
the
Southwest,
they
are
unfortunately
__14__.
These
giant
cacti
have
great
value
in
landscape
gardening,
and
the
thieves
can
earn
thousands
of
dollars
by
uprooting
and
__15__
them
to
nurseries
(苗圃).
To
protect
these
southwestern
__16__，
agents
for
the
Arizona
Department
of
Agriculture
go
around
and
__17__
the
desert.
It's
a
most
important
job
though
a
hard
one.
But
without
the
saguaro
cacti,
many
desert
animals
would
suffer
a
lack
of
__18__
and
loss
of
nesting
sites.
The
Southwest,
too,
would
__19__
something
of
unique
importance,
since
these
desert
giants
have
become
a
__20__
of
the
dry
region.
