Li Dan was trying to wake up from her sleep. She sat up slow, yawning with her eyes closed. Though she knew that she would be later for the ballet lesson if she did not hurry up, but she was still very sleepy. She falls back on the bed and went back to asleep.

Annoying to see Li Dan still sleeping, she said in a loud voices, “Li Dan, get up!” Li Dan struggled to get out of bed. At last, after a quick breakfast, Li Dan left her ballet lesson.
【答案】
【解析】
本文为记叙文。李丹试图从睡梦中醒来。她慢慢地坐起来,闭着眼睛打哈欠。虽然她知道如果不快点的话,她会晚一点上芭蕾课,但她还是很困。以至于又倒在床上睡着了,正做梦时,被妈妈喊醒。之后李丹匆忙吃了早饭去上芭蕾舞课了。
1.考查副词。分析句子可知,本句为“她慢慢地坐起来,闭着眼睛打哈欠”。句中的形容词slow在句中修饰动词sat up。修饰动词要用副词形式,故把slow→slowly。
2.考查形容词。句意:尽管她知道如果不快点的话,她上芭蕾课会迟到的。分析语境可知,本句是只是说迟到,但没有比较,因此不用比较级,要用原级,故把later→late。
3.考查语境。句意:她仍然很困。分析句子可知,本句中有一个转折词still,因此but多余,故去掉but。
4.考查动词的时态。句意:她倒在床上睡着了。根据上下文的语境可知,本文主要讲述过去的事,所以要用一般过去时,因此把falls→fell。
5.考查动词不定式。go back to sleep意为“又睡着了”to后跟动词不定式,而asleep为形容词,所以要改为动词sleep,因此把asleep→sleep。
6.考查冠词。句意:她(梦见)在柴可夫斯基的芭蕾舞中成了一只优雅的天鹅。swan被形容词elegant修饰,而elegant是以元音开头的,要用an而不是a,因此把a→an。
7.考查人称代词的一致性。根据上文可知Li Dan是个女生,因此要用her,而不能用his,因此把his→her。
8.考查形容词。句意:然后她妈妈走进房间。看到李丹还在睡觉,她很恼火,大声说…。annoying意为“令人恼火的”,一般用于修饰物,而“annoyed”,意为“恼火的”,一般用于修饰人的。文中的Annoy用于修饰妈妈,所以要用annoyed,因此Annoying→Annoyed。
9.考查固定搭配。in a loud voice意为“大声地”,因此把voices→voice。
10.考查固定短语中。句意:最后吃了早饭后,李丹出发去上芭蕾课。leave for“出发去…,.”,因此要在 left后添加for。

Company Names That Have Secret Meanings | |
Co-founder Larry Page was at a brainstorming session at Stanford for a new massive data indexing website. Someone suggested “googolplex”—one of the largest describable NUMBERS.
