[语篇综合练]

Ⅰ.语法填空

(2018·河北衡水中学模拟)Have you ever had a case __1__ a mistake helped you understand an idea or a skill? For me, it was sailing. I took a sailing class when I was in high school. No matter how many times I read the __2__ (explain), I could not understand the difference between a “tack” and a “jibe” —two methods of turning a boat —one much __3__ (safe) than the other. Later, one day, when I was sailing, a heavy wind blew up. We needed to head back, __4__ I mistook the “tack” for the “jibe” and pushed the boat in the wrong direction. Before I realized __5__ (I) mistake, it was late. Luckily, no one __6__ (hurt). Only after this experience did I __7__ (clear) understand the sailing phrase “turning on the wind” that I ___8__ (read) so many times in the textbook. I never confused a “jibe” with

“tack” again! Now I often share this st ory __9__ my students after they have made mistakes.

I hope they can learn something from their mistakes and correct them instead of __10__ (regret) all day.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者通过一次航海经历才领悟到“tack”与“jibe”的区别。

1.where先行词是case,定语从句中关系词作地点状语,故用关系副词where。

2.explanation(s)由空格前的定冠词the可知此处需用名词形式。explanation是可数名词,再根据“how many times”可知应用其复数形式。

3.safer根据句中的“than”可知此处应用比较级形式。

4.but前后两个分句之间为转折关系,故填but。

5.my修饰名词mistake应用形容词性物主代词作定语。

6.was hurt此处叙述的是过去发生的事,且“no one”与hurt之间为被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。

7.clearly修饰动词understand应用副词形式。

8.had read从句动作发生在主句谓语动作之前,因此表示“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时。

9.with share sth. with sb.“与某人分享某物”。

10.regretting介词of后应用动名词形式。

Ⅱ.短文改错

(2018·辽宁葫芦岛协作体模拟)When I was seven years old, one day I go to the supermarket with my mother and sister. My mother had given me a dollar, with that I wanted to buy a pen. I would often check my pocket to seeing if it was there. After about ten minutes, I put my hand in my pocket and found that a dollar was gone. I searched for everywhere but I couldn’t find it. I was very sadly, and I told my mom about it. She told me go to The Lost and look for it. So I walked up there to ask when anyone had found a dollar. To my delight, anyone had turned in a dollar. I was deeply moved by the strangers’kindness.

答案:第一句:go→went

第二句:that→which

第三句:seeing→see

第四句:a→the

第五句:去掉for

第六句:sadly→sad

第七句:me 后加to

第八句:when→if/whether

第九句:anyone→someone

第十句:strangers’→stranger’s

While they are rare north of 88°,there is evidence 61 they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada.

Modem methods 63 tracking polar bear populations have been employed only since the mid-1980s,and are expensive 64 (perform) consistently over a large area. In recent years some Inuit people in Nunayut 65 (report) increases in bear sightings around human settlements, leading to a 66 (believe) that populations are increasing.

高考英语语法复习专题

高考英语语法复习专题(2)名词性从句(附参考答案) 1、名词性从句中连接词的运用 名词性从句中的连接词有连词that / whether / as if,连接代词what / who/ which / whose / whatever / whoever / whomever / whichever,连接副词where / when / why / how / wherever / whenever。 (1)that的用法。 ①主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句中用that但不能省略。如: That they are good at English is known to us all. The problem is that we don’t have enough money. She expressed the hope that they would come to China one day. ②宾语从句中的连接词that有时可省有时又不可省,在以下几种情况中that不能省略:(A)当that 从句和主句谓语动词之间有插入词语或者从句主语之间有插入语时,that不可省略;(B)当that 从句与另一名词性从句并列作宾语时,that不能省;(C)当that作介词宾语时,that不可省掉。如:He judged that,because he was a child, he did not understand wine Everyone knew what happened and that she was worried. The reason lies in that she works harder than the others do. ③that从句作主语和宾语时,可以用it 来替换成以下几种结构表达。 (A)It is clear/certain/likely/true/surprising that… (B)It is a pity/shame/good idea/no wonder that ...(C)It is said/reported/ believed/known/thought/suggested that … (D)It seems/happens that。如: It happened that I went out last night. It is said that China will win in the World Cup. ④that和what的区别。 that 引导名词性从句时,在主从句中不以当任何句子成分,也没有任何含义;而what引导名词性从句时,在主从句中都要充当一定的句子成分,what可以分解成定语从句中的先行词+ 关系代词即常说的先行词+ that。如: It’s shame that he has made such a mistake. Do what he says. ⑤同位语从句与定语从句中that的区别。 同位语从句中的连词that只起连接作用,在从句中不担当任何句子成分;而定语从句中的关系代词that在句中做宾语或主语,宾语与先行词有修饰关系。如果句子是同位语从句,就应用连词that而不能用which.同位语从句一般放在表具体含义的名词后解释名词的含义或内容,如以下名词:news、fact、suggestion、truth、plan、belief、doubt、possibility、idea等,而定语从句只是对先行词的限定和修饰。如: They expressed the hope that they would come to visit China again.(同位语从句) The hope she expressed is that they would come to visit China again.(定语从句) 选择填空 1._____________ you have done might do harm to other people. A. That B. What C. Which D. This 2. They have no idea at all ____________. A. where he has gone B. where did he go C. which place he has gone D. where he has gone 3. _____________ leaves the room last ought to turn off the lights. A. Anyone B. The person C. Whoever D.

广东高考英语语法填空专题训练语法填空(每篇共10小题;每小题1.5分,每篇满分15分) 阅读下面短文,根据上下文填入适当的词语,或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空, 并将答案填写在答题卡上标号为1—10的相应位置。 Passage (1) Cars are too expensive for many people around the world to own. Not only that, many cities are already full of traffic, and many country areas have rough roads. So 1 do people travel those distances that are too far to walk? They use public transportation. If you ride the subway or bus 2 you live, you can appreciate some of the benefits of public transportation. With many people 3 (share) one bus or train, there is less traffic and, more 4 (importance), less pollution. Which of the types of mass transit 5 (describe) below are you familiar with? If a regular bus can hold dozens of people, imagine what a bus 6 (two) the size can hold! In Great Britain, there are many buses that are known as double-deckers (cars with two floors). Buses in Haiti are often very crowded. It’s not 7 (common) for passengers to actually sit on the rooftops. Buses are sometimes called “tap-taps”, because the 8 (ride) on the roof tap(敲击)when they want to be dropped off. Many large cities around the world take advantage of the space beneath the streets and run underground trains. People in Paris, Mexico City and Tokyo may use the subway system to get to school, to work, or to visit friends in other 9 (neighbor). Both the Japanese and French have developed High-speed trains to link various cities. While electric trains in North America average 130 kph, the French TGV (high-speed-train) is the world’s fastest, 10 (average) over 270 kph! Passage (2) Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships 1 (belong) to some European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were 2 (little) interested in changing it into a colony than in 3 (explore) it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English 4 set up the settlements in Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well. Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich 5 soil. It was on the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward 6 (move) took place 7 because the English were searching for better land than the population was increasing. Settlements of the west part of both countries developed quickly after gold 8 (discover) in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later. Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some 9 (strike) differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, 10 (like) the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.

高考七选五专题训练 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 一 I started working at Pizza Hut in December 1989, when I was a freshman in high school. All new employees started by washing dishes and busing tables. If they proved their ability, they learned to make pizzas, cut and serve them on wooden paddles and take orders. 1 I couldn’t keep up, and piles of dishes formed on all sides of me. Every time the pile decreased, the call came back to help clear tables out front, and I returned with more dirty dishes. My shift (轮班) was supposed to end at 9 p.m., but when I asked to leave, the manager, Jeff, shook his head. “Not until the work is done,”he said. “You leave a clean station. 2 However, I worked until after 10 that night. I stayed on dish duty for weeks. My heart sank every time I arrived at work and saw my name written next to “dishes” on the position chart. I spent my shifts behind those steel sinks. I hated every minute I spent on dish duty. 3 One slow mid-week night, when I managed to catch up on dishes and clean out the sinks early, I asked Jeff when I could do something different. “Do you know why you’re still doing dishes?”he asked. “Because you keep complaining about it.” 4 But, he promised, if I continued to leave a clean station and not complain, next week he would put me on the “make table,” where pizzas were put together before being put into the oven. A few days later, when I reported for my after-school shift, I saw my name penciled not in the “dishes” box but in the “make table” box. 5 A. I was excited. B. Some write on a chalkboard. C. I was angry and thought about quitting. D. Nobody likes to work with a complainer, he said. E. And I wasn’t afraid to let everyone around me know it. F. On my first night, the dishes piled up after the dinner rush. G. The people who make a difference in your life come in all types.

2019高考英语 阅读理解专题选编(12)(含解析)

2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编(12) 李仕才 A In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in N orthern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale" and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated.
