Question

【题目】语法填空

We think that life in Chinese high school is 【1】adventure because we have to survive mountains of homework and exams. Yet would it be surprising if I tell you that high school life in the US is almost as 【2】 (stress) and demanding as it is in China?

In US high school, everything is recorded and 【3】(grade), including your grades on quizzes, tests and final examinations. Failing 【4】 (turn) in your homework on time will 【5】(direct) affect your grade for a certain course. Perhaps contrary to 【6】 we used to think of the US high school students, they pay great attention to their learning performance to try to get into famous university, or , they’ll be disappointed after graduation from high school.

Like university students, US high school students have the 【7】 (free) to choose the courses 【8】 most interest them. Even a ninth-grader can sit in 【9】 same classroom as 12th-graders. But this also means he or she has to work very hard. The teacher will not treat him or her differently just 【10】 he or she is a few years younger.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍美国的高中学习生活和人们的想法并不一样，美国的中学生也非常重视学习成绩以及各种表现，同时他们有很多的课程可供选择。

【1】考查冠词。句意：我们认为中国的高中生活是一次探险，因为我们不得不从堆积如山的作业和考试中幸存下来。不定冠词a/an通常表示泛指，本句中an adventure指一次探险。所以要填an。

【2】考查形容词。句意：然而要是我说美国的高中生活和中国的高中生活一样有压力和苛刻，这会令人惊讶吗？形容词stressful有压力的，与demanding属于并列结构一起和系动词is构成系表结构。所以要填stressful。

【3】考查语态。句意：在美国的高中，一切事情都被记录和评分。主语everything与record和grade构成被动语态，都要用过去分词形式。所以要填过去分词graded。

【4】考查固定短语。短语fail to do sth未能做某事，其中的不定式做fail的宾语；本句中该短语的动名词形式在句中做主语。句意：不能及时交作业会直接影响某些科目的分数。所以要填to turn。

【5】考查副词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。句子副词directly做状语修饰谓语动词affect your grade。所以要填directly。

【6】考查宾语从句。句意：与我们过去对美国高中生的看法完全相反，为了进入著名大学，他们特别关注学习表现。句中what引导宾语从句，做介词to的宾语。所以要填what。

【7】考查名词。句意：和大学生一样，美国的高中生也有选择他们感兴趣的科目。句中free的名词freedom做动词have的宾语，后面的不定式做定语修饰freedom。所以要填freedom。

【8】考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the courses，关系代词that/which指代先行词在句中做主语。句意：和大学生一样，美国的高中生也有选择他们感兴趣的科目。所以要填that/which。

【9】考查定冠词。定冠词the表示特指，不定冠词a/an表示泛指。名词classroom前面有形容词same修饰，说明表示特指，所以要用the。句意：九年级学生可能和十二年级学生坐在同一个教室里。所以要填the。

【10】考查连词。句意：老师不会因为他年龄更小就对他有所不同。根据句意可知上下文之间是因果关系，使用连词because连接上下文。所以要填because。
