语法填空+阅读理解+完形填空

(限时35分钟)

Ⅰ.语法填空

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

A man requested an old scholar to get rid of his son’s bad habits.The scholar took the boy for 1.　　　　 walk through a garden.Suddenly he stopped 2.　　　　(ask) the boy to pull out a tiny plant growing there. 

The boy held the plant between his thumb and forefinger and pulled it out.The old man then asked him to pull out a slightly 3.　　　　(big) plant.The boy pulled hard and the plant came out,roots and all.“Now pull out that one,”said the old man 4.　　　　(point) to a bush.This time,the boy managed it but with great 5.　　　　(difficult). 

After that,the old man led him to a big tree and said,“Now take this one out.”The boy grasped the trunk and tried his best 6.　　　　(pull) it out.But it would not move.“It’s impossible,”said the boy,breathing 7.　　　　(heavy) with the effort. 

“So it is with bad habits,” said the wise man.“When they are weak,it is easy to pull them out but when they become strong they cannot8.　　　　 (remove).” 

The walk 9.　　　　 the old man changed the boy’s life.So don’t wait for bad habits to take root.Get rid of them while you have control over them,10.　　　　they will control you. 

【答案及解析】

1.a　考查冠词。walk在此意为“散步”,作可数名词且表示泛指,故填a。

2.to ask　考查非谓语动词。此处表示“停下来去做某事”,需用“stop to do sth.”结构。

3.bigger　考查比较级。由语境可知,此处暗含与上文中a tiny plant的比较,且slightly常与比较级连用,故填big的比较级bigger。

4.pointing　考查非谓语动词。man与point之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且point所表示的动作与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生,故用动词-ing形式作伴随状语。

5.difficulty　考查名词。设空处作with的宾语,且由great修饰,故填difficulty。

6.to pull　考查非谓语动词。try one’s best to do sth.表示“尽某人最大努力去做某事”。

7.heavily　考查副词。设空处修饰breathing,故用副词heavily。

8.be removed　考查语态。remove与they(指代bad habits)之间表示被动关系,故用被动语态。

9.with　考查介词。本句意为“和老人一起进行的那次散步改变了男孩的生活”,故填with。

10.or/otherwise　考查连词。本句是“祈使句+or/otherwise+陈述句”结构。该结构中,“祈使句+or/otherwise”相当于一个否定意义的条件句。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

【短篇故事类】

There once was a very honest shopkeeper whose day-to-day business was to provide goods for the local people.He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m.after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m.he would go for lunch.At 8:30 p.m.in the evening he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.

However,to get time for lunch was really difficult because nobody helped him at that time.Therefore,it was his daily practice that whoever was shopping at 1:00 p.m.would be asked to oversee the shop until he returned from lunch.Everything went smoothly.However,this system of having the new customer oversee the shop at lunchtime quickly became known to thieves out of the area.One day,a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch.One of them went at 1:00 p.m.to be the customer.The thief,pretending to be a customer,went in at 1:00 p.m.and started purchasing several items.As usual,the shopkeeper asked the thief to sit on the shopkeeper chair until he returned from lunch.

Then,the other three thieves quickly came in to steal as much as they could.They asked the pretended customer to help,but something had changed within him and he no longer wanted to participate in the stealing with his fellow thieves.He knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop,he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time.His friends did not agree.As the now honest man tried to stop them,they resisted and a fight started.And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fight in his shop.The now honest man explained the entire plan,including his experience of transformation and how that led to the fight.
