题目内容

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not 【1】(real) prepared me for anything practical. I knew I felt like 【2】 (make) a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea 【3】 to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey 【4】 a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, 【5】that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my 【6】(decide) to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. 【7】 did my family.

Eventually, however, I 【8】(win) the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among 【9】 candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call 【10】(ask) me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

【答案】

【1】really

【2】making

【3】how

【4】as

【5】and

【6】decision

【7】Neither

【8】won

【9】the

【10】asking

【解析】

【1】really 考查副词。在英语中提出使用副词充当状语修饰动词、形容词或者副词。本句中使用副词really修订谓语动词had not prepared me for。

【2】making 考查固定搭配。短语feel like doing sth喜欢做某事；我知道我喜欢设法对这个社会产生起一点作用。

【3】how考查特殊疑问词。在英语中“特殊疑问词+不定式”可以充当主语、宾语、表语和定语；本句中how和不定式连用，一起充当idea的同位语。句意：但是我不知道如何做这件事情。

【4】as 考查介词。介词as通常接表示身份的名词。句意：作为a Lighthouse Project项目的志愿者，我开始了我的旅行。

【5】and 考查连词。句意：我知道这会是很困难的工作，我也知道我会远离家人和朋友很长时间。根据句意可知上下文之间是并列关系，所以使用并列连词and。

【6】decision考查目的。本句中所有格my后面要接名词长度take的宾语，动词decide的名词是decision。

【7】Neither 考查倒装句。根据横线后的did my family.可知本句是一个倒装句，“neither+助动词/系动词/情态动词+另一主语”表示前面的情况同样适用于另外一人。

【8】won 考查时态。本文通篇都使用一般过去时，所以本句也应该使用过去式won。句意：最后我赢得了家人的支持。

【9】the 考查冠词。本句使用定冠词the特指参加本次活动的所有的候选人。句意：经过数不清的面试和陈述，我和其他候选人站在一起，并一直站到了最后。

【10】asking 考查非谓语动词。本句中动词ask与名词call构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词在句中充当定语。句意：几个月后，我接到一个让我报道的电话。

【题目】Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.

Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.

_________________________. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay under a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing –-very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.

Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.

【题目】短文改错记叙文

Once, a man got on a bus to New York. Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There’s a bum in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no tomb.

【题目】In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！

I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.
