【7】考查主语从句。句意：我们所看到的没有让我们失望。_____we saw本句是主语从句，其中saw缺少宾语，表示看到的东西，故要用What。

【8】考查形容词。句意：这花特别引人注目(impressive)。这里用形容词作表语。故填impressive。

【9】考查定语从句。The vast carpet of colour _____9_____ spread into the distance towards the contrasting green hills。本句是定语从句，先行词是The vast carpet of colour，在从句中作主语，故可以用that /which。

【10】考查副词。句意：那条铺满色彩的大地毯，一直延伸到通往青山的远处，简直令人叹为观止，值得拍大量的照片！用副词simply来修饰形容词breathtaking。

语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析。要解决好语法填空，离不开坚实的语法知识，有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断，从而答对题目。本篇语法填空考查到的语法知识有时态、词性、从句以及固定短语等，其中小题7为名词性从句考查，先要分析出整个句子缺少主语，故知道为考查主语从句，再分析从句缺少宾语，根据表达的意思用连接词what引导；小题9考查定语从句，先要找准先行词，然后分析先行词在定语从句中所作的成分，最后确定关系词。

【题目】 In 1968 Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson set an intelligence test for a class of primary school children at "Oak School" (an invented name) in San Francisco. The teachers were told that the intelligence test bad two purposes. Firstly, it would measure the IQ of the children and secondly it would predict 20% of students who, no matter what their performance to date was like, would be likely to make the most progress during the next school year. The teachers were then told who the predicted top improvers would be.

At the end of the school year, eight months later, the intelligence test was carried out again and, perhaps not surprisingly, the results showed that the 20% of children who had been predicted to improve the most, did in fact do so. They showed, on average, an increase of 12 IQ points on the test, compared with an increase of only 8 points for the other children.

But the fact is that no results of any test were used to predict who would be the top performers. Instead, the lucky children who the teachers were told would be the top improvers were given this label as a matter of chance. This study shows that the label that you are given, and your interaction(互动) with others who notice that label, can have a big influence on the results that you achieve. This phenomenon(现象)has been called the Rosenthal effect. It is also known as the Pygmalion effect, related most famously to the George Bernard Show play Pygmalion , which shows the effect that two men have in changing an untidy flower girl into a well-spoken lady.

For ethical (道德的)reasons the researchers at "Oak School!" only concentrated on trying to produce positive results in the children's performance. However, it is worth asking yourself what the effects on 20% of students considered least likely to improve in the following school year might have been. A frightening thought.

【1】What did the study find about the predicted top performers at the end of the school year?

A.They showed more interest in tests.B.They really made the most progress.

C.They became less confident than before.D.They were as intelligent as the other children.

【2】How were the top performers chosen?

A.According to the teachers' judgement.B.Based on the test results.

C.By chance.D.Openly.

【3】What can we infer about the 20% of students mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.They might be willing to accept positive results.

B.They would likely have frightening thoughts.

C.They would likely make the least progress.

D.They might work much harder than before.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The Rosenthal effectB.A play by Bernard Shaw.

C.A school in San Francisco.D.The labels given to children.

More than 70 percent of king penguins could 【1】 (wipe) out by rising ocean temperatures, according to a recent survey.

Their total population of 1.6 million today could be reduced by more than 1.1 million by 2100.【2】, many people are optimistic because these statistics show that the birds are not endangered at present. Rated as 'of least concern', they occupy the lowest category of extinction risk.

But that could change as their fish 【3】 (supply) move further into the Southern Ocean, where there is only a 【4】 (hand) of islands to provide a home for the birds.

King penguins require remote islands 【5】 are not too cold, have no winter sea ice and no fierce animals. If they have to swim more than 435 miles on 【6】 round trip to hunt for fish, their waiting children can starve to death as their fat reserves become steadily 【7】 (few). It can take a parent three months 【8】 (deliver) fish to its young.

The scientists, from the University of Strasbourg in France, whose study 【9】 (publish) in the journal Nature Climate Change so far, warn that the effects of fish population moving further south could give rise 【10】 a large population crash of the penguins.

【题目】There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content (内容) rather than spelling.

If spelling becomes the only focus of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language.

I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience. “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp comment on the pupil’s spelling in writing, but it was also a sad sign that the teacher had failed to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the spelling would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement.

【1】Teachers are different in their opinions about ______.

A. the difficulties in teaching spelling

B. the complexities of the basic writing skills

C. the role of spelling in general language development and writing ability

D. the necessity of teaching spelling

【2】Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________.

A. students will have more confidence in studying

B. students will be able to express their ideas more freely

C. students will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

D. students will learn to be independent of teachers

【3】The author seems to think that the teacher’s comment on that piece of writing is ________.

A. fair B. unreasonable C. amusing D. careless

【4】The major point discussed in the passage is ________.

A. the importance of developing writing skills

B. the complexities of spelling

C. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

D. the correct way of marking compositions

【题目】He suggested that the problems ______ paid special attention to.

A. referred to being B. refer to being C. referred to be D. referring to be
