二、完形填空
11．完形填空
When my son, Mike, was young, he always listened to me. I hoped he would be a （1） , so I asked him to practice playing the piano every day. He did what I told him to do. But when he grew older, he （2） practiced the piano. He said that he started to be （3） the guitar. I didn't say anything but told him that I still wanted him to be a pianist.
As the years passed, it seemed that Mike started to （4） everything I wanted him to do. I knew that no matter how much you wanted to control your kids, you had to let them go. But I still felt （5） when Mike told me that he would major(主修) in guitar courses. Weren’t my words helpful to him I had （6） that he major in piano courses.
One evening, I completely (彻底地) （7） everything. I had some trouble （8） my computer. I didn't know how to （9） it. I asked Mike to help me. He explained to me what to do. I （10） his clear and specific instructions (具体的说明 ). I was proud of my son and his skills. I was deeply satisfied.
（1）A．teacher B．violinist C．pianist D．scientist
（2）A．often B．usually C．never D．sometimes
（3）A．serious about B．interested in C．afraid of D．worried about
（4）A．hate B．receive C．perform D．finish
（5）A．happy B．pleased
C．lucky D．disappointed(失望的)
（6）A．stopped B．supposed C．suggested D．remembered
（7）A．achieved B．understood C．volunteered D．succeeded
（8）A．with B．in C．by D．on
（9）A．put away B．find out C．clean up D．deal with
（10）A．made B．missed C．followed D．realized
【答案】（1）C；（2）C；（3）B；（4）A；（5）D；（6）C；（7）B；（8）A；（9）D；（10）C
【解析】【分析】
（1）根据下文so I asked him to practice playing the piano every day.可知，“我”想让儿子成为一名pianist（钢琴家）。A项teacher“老师”、B项violinist“小提琴家”、D项scientist“科学家”均不合题意。
（2）根据下文 He said that he started to be ________ the guitar.可知，他不练钢琴了，他说他开始对吉他感兴趣了。A项often“经常”、B项usually“通常”、C项never“不再”、D项sometimes“有时”，由句意可知C项正确。
（3）解析同上题。A项be serious about“对…严肃”、B项be interested in“对…感兴趣”、C项be afraid of“对…害怕”、D项be worried about“对…担忧”。
（4）根据下文I knew that no matter how much you wanted to control your kids, you had to let them go.一句中提到无论你多想控制住你的孩子，你都必须放手，由此可知，似乎迈克开始厌烦我让他做的一切了。因此A项hate“讨厌”正确。B项“收到”、C项“表演”和D项“完成”均不合题意。
（5）上文说家长都应对孩子放手，由but可知，下文是转折关系。因此，当迈克说他要主修吉它课程时，我始终觉得disappointed（失望），A项“快乐”、B项“满意”和C项“幸运的”均不合文意。
（6）由上文知，“我”始终希望儿子学钢琴。A项“停止”、B项“推测”、C项“建议”、D项“记得”，由文意知C项正确。
（7）由下文可知，我完全理解了儿子。因此B项 understood“理解”合题意。而A项achieved“实现”、C项volunteered“自愿”和D项succeeded“成功”均不合文意。
（8）考查固定短语have trouble with sth“某事上有麻烦”。
（9）由上文知，I had some trouble________ my computer.我的电脑出了问题，因此我不知道怎么处理。A项put away“收好”、B项find out“发现”、C项clean up“清扫”、D项deal with“处理”，由句意可知D项合题意。
（10）由上文I asked Mike to help me. He explained to me what to do. 可知，“我”愿意采纳他的清晰和具体的说明。C项follow的含义为“听从、采纳”、D项realized的含义为“实现”。
【点评】文章作者从一个父母的角度谈论“我”如何要求儿子学钢琴，而儿子却违背了“我”的意愿，学了吉它，“我”很失望。后来“我”电脑出了故障，是儿子修好的，由此“我”转变了对儿子的态度。作者想通过这篇文章告诉父母们，要对孩子放手，增强与孩子之间的理解。文章描写细致具体。文章考点选项设计全面，主要考查了动词短语、动词时态、名词、介词等，对上下文逻辑理解的考查贯穿始终，如第55题，就需通过下文信息得到答案。做这类题时学生要关注方法，针对词性有侧重地关注已知信息，同时训练自己把握上下文的能力。
三、选词填空（词汇运用）
12．根据短文内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词填空。有的需要变换形式
communicate，wrong，offer, second，instead，opinion，any more，argue
Sally Seaman is an American Writer. She tells young students some smart ways to make friends. In her , founding(建立) friendship is just like planting a tree. You should plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
Firstly, you should choose a friend. A good friend should be kind and patient(有耐心的). For example, if something bad happens to you, a good friend could listen to you. And he or she should to help you.
, you can't be too shy. You should often with your friend. You should share your lives with your friend.
However, even best friends have fights. What should you do when you with your friend You won't talk to him or her. That's . If so, you won't be friends . You need to keep on talking to him or her . If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter. That works.
【答案】opinion；offer；Secondly；communicate；argue；wrong；anymore；instead
【知识点】选词填空
【解析】【分析】选项词义：communicate沟通，wrong错误的，offer表示愿意, second第二，instead反而，opinion主张，any more再，argue争吵。
本短文主要讲述的是Greg环绕亚洲旅行的这个梦想实现的过程。根据选项词义和各空所在的句子可推知句意应分别为：
（1）In her (opinion), founding friendship is just like planting a tree．据她看来，建立友谊就像种一棵树。in one's opinion属于固定短语，意思是“据某人看来”，故答案为：opinion
（2）And he or she should （offer） to help you．他或她应该主动帮助你。情态动词should后跟动词原形，故答案为：offer
（3）（Secondly），you can't be too shy． 其次，你不能太害羞。 secondly是副词,意思是是“第二、其次”，一般用在句首相当于状语的作用，故答案为：Secondly
（4）You should often（ communicate） with your friend．你应该经常和你的朋友沟通。情态动词should后跟动词原形，故答案为：communicate
（5）What should you do when you （argue） with your friend 当你和你的朋友争吵时你应该怎么做？这是个主从复合句，当主句中含有情态动词时，从句用一般现在时。主句中的should是情态动词；从句的主语是非单三形式，谓语动词要用原形。故答案为：argue
（6）That's （wrong.那是错的。wrong在句中做连系动词is的表语。故答案为：wrong
（7）If so，you won't be friends （any more）. 如果是这样，你就不会成为朋友了。短语not ... any more的意思是“不再” ，故答案为：any more
（8）You need to keep on talking to him or her（instead).你反而需要继续和他或她谈话。instead意为“反而”,作副词用,通常位于句尾。故答案为：instead
【点评】本题考查根据短文内容，从方框中选择恰当的词语填空，完成此题的关键是把文中的句子和所缺的选项单词结合起来，尤其注意变换单词形式和它们的用法。
四、句型转换
13．根据要求完成句子
（1）Lisa didn't hang out with her friends yesterday.（改为肯定句）
Lisa out with her friends yesterday.
（2）Lin Dan played badminton very well. He won the Thomas Cup again.（合并为一句）

useful sports.
【答案】（1）hung
（2）enough；to
（3）so；that
（4）How；like
（5）didn't；until
（6）It's；to；play
【解析】【分析】
（1）考查一般过去时的否定句变肯定句，即把didn’t去掉，把动词原形hang转换成过去时hung。
（2）考查句式…enough to do sth.其意思为“…足够做某事了。”
（3）考查so that 引导的目的状语从句，so that译为“以便于”。
（4）What do you think of… 为常用询问对方意见的句式，意思为“你认为… 怎么样？”，其意义和用法相当于How do you like…？ How do you find…？
（5）考查not…until…，其含义为“直到…才…”。
（6）考查固定句式：It +be+adj+for sb+to do sth,其含义为“对某人来说做某事是怎么样的”，本句中的It is useful for sb to do sth的含义为“对某人来说做某事是有用的。”
【点评】本题重点考查了一般过去时的否定句变肯定句、enough用法、目的状语从句和固定句式It +be+adj+for sb+to do sth。易错点是询问对方意见“你认为… 怎么样？”的正确表达和not…until的使用。做not…until的翻译句子时，可以先翻译until（直到），再翻译前面not。
五、翻译

（2）cut；out
（3）having；after-school；lessons
（4）What；think；of
（5）important；for
（6）causes；pressure
（7）comparing；with
（8）With；development
【解析】【分析】
（1）本题考查动词短语agree with sb，其含义为“同意某人或某人的话”。
（2）本题考查动词短语cut out，其含义为“删去、删除”。
（3）本题考查动词hate，其含义为“讨厌、不喜欢”，后常跟名词或doing形式。
（4）本题考查特殊疑问词what的用法。What do you think of… 为常用询问对方意见的句式，意思为“你认为… 怎么样？”
（5）本题考查important的写法和用法，“对于某人来说…怎么样？”的英文表达：主语+be+important+for+sb
（6）本题考查“导致”的英语形式cause，注意主语是不可数名词，谓语动词用第三人称单数causes,同时考查常用词汇pressure的写法。
（7）本题考查短语动词enjoy，其含义为“喜欢”，后跟名词或doing形式，短语“把…和…相比较”的英文形式是compare…with….
（8）本题考查介词短语“随着…的发展”，即，with the development of….

（7）由下文可知，我完全理解了儿子。因此B项 understood“理解”合题意。而A项achieved“实现”、C项volunteered“自愿”和D项succeeded“成功”均不合文意。
（8）考查固定短语have trouble with sth“某事上有麻烦”。
（9）由上文知，I had some trouble________ my computer.我的电脑出了问题，因此我不知道怎么处理。A项put away“收好”、B项find out“发现”、C项clean up“清扫”、D项deal with“处理”，由句意可知D项合题意。
（10）由上文I asked Mike to help me. He explained to me what to do. 可知，“我”愿意采纳他的清晰和具体的说明。C项follow的含义为“听从、采纳”、D项realized的含义为“实现”。
【点评】文章作者从一个父母的角度谈论“我”如何要求儿子学钢琴，而儿子却违背了“我”的意愿，学了吉它，“我”很失望。后来“我”电脑出了故障，是儿子修好的，由此“我”转变了对儿子的态度。作者想通过这篇文章告诉父母们，要对孩子放手，增强与孩子之间的理解。文章描写细致具体。文章考点选项设计全面，主要考查了动词短语、动词时态、名词、介词等，对上下文逻辑理解的考查贯穿始终，如第55题，就需通过下文信息得到答案。做这类题时学生要关注方法，针对词性有侧重地关注已知信息，同时训练自己把握上下文的能力。
12．【答案】opinion；offer；Secondly；communicate；argue；wrong；anymore；instead
【知识点】选词填空
【解析】【分析】选项词义：communicate沟通，wrong错误的，offer表示愿意, second第二，instead反而，opinion主张，any more再，argue争吵。
本短文主要讲述的是Greg环绕亚洲旅行的这个梦想实现的过程。根据选项词义和各空所在的句子可推知句意应分别为：
（1）In her (opinion), founding friendship is just like planting a tree．据她看来，建立友谊就像种一棵树。in one's opinion属于固定短语，意思是“据某人看来”，故答案为：opinion
（2）And he or she should （offer） to help you．他或她应该主动帮助你。情态动词should后跟动词原形，故答案为：offer
（3）（Secondly），you can't be too shy． 其次，你不能太害羞。 secondly是副词,意思是是“第二、其次”，一般用在句首相当于状语的作用，故答案为：Secondly
（4）You should often（ communicate） with your friend．你应该经常和你的朋友沟通。情态动词should后跟动词原形，故答案为：communicate
（5）What should you do when you （argue） with your friend 当你和你的朋友争吵时你应该怎么做？这是个主从复合句，当主句中含有情态动词时，从句用一般现在时。主句中的should是情态动词；从句的主语是非单三形式，谓语动词要用原形。故答案为：argue
（6）That's （wrong.那是错的。wrong在句中做连系动词is的表语。故答案为：wrong
（7）If so，you won't be friends （any more）. 如果是这样，你就不会成为朋友了。短语not ... any more的意思是“不再” ，故答案为：any more
（8）You need to keep on talking to him or her（instead).你反而需要继续和他或她谈话。instead意为“反而”,作副词用,通常位于句尾。故答案为：instead
【点评】本题考查根据短文内容，从方框中选择恰当的词语填空，完成此题的关键是把文中的句子和所缺的选项单词结合起来，尤其注意变换单词形式和它们的用法。
13．【答案】（1）hung
（2）enough；to
（3）so；that
（4）How；like
（5）didn't；until
（6）It's；to；play
【解析】【分析】
（1）考查一般过去时的否定句变肯定句，即把didn’t去掉，把动词原形hang转换成过去时hung。
（2）考查句式…enough to do sth.其意思为“…足够做某事了。”
（3）考查so that 引导的目的状语从句，so that译为“以便于”。
（4）What do you think of… 为常用询问对方意见的句式，意思为“你认为… 怎么样？”，其意义和用法相当于How do you like…？ How do you find…？
（5）考查not…until…，其含义为“直到…才…”。
（6）考查固定句式：It +be+adj+for sb+to do sth,其含义为“对某人来说做某事是怎么样的”，本句中的It is useful for sb to do sth的含义为“对某人来说做某事是有用的。”
【点评】本题重点考查了一般过去时的否定句变肯定句、enough用法、目的状语从句和固定句式It +be+adj+for sb+to do sth。易错点是询问对方意见“你认为… 怎么样？”的正确表达和not…until的使用。做not…until的翻译句子时，可以先翻译until（直到），再翻译前面not。
14．【答案】（1）agree；with
（2）cut；out
（3）having；after-school；lessons
（4）What；think；of
（5）important；for
（6）causes；pressure
（7）comparing；with
（8）With；development
【解析】【分析】
（1）本题考查动词短语agree with sb，其含义为“同意某人或某人的话”。
（2）本题考查动词短语cut out，其含义为“删去、删除”。
（3）本题考查动词hate，其含义为“讨厌、不喜欢”，后常跟名词或doing形式。
（4）本题考查特殊疑问词what的用法。What do you think of… 为常用询问对方意见的句式，意思为“你认为… 怎么样？”
（5）本题考查important的写法和用法，“对于某人来说…怎么样？”的英文表达：主语+be+important+for+sb
（6）本题考查“导致”的英语形式cause，注意主语是不可数名词，谓语动词用第三人称单数causes,同时考查常用词汇pressure的写法。
（7）本题考查短语动词enjoy，其含义为“喜欢”，后跟名词或doing形式，短语“把…和…相比较”的英文形式是compare…with….
（8）本题考查介词短语“随着…的发展”，即，with the development of….
【点评】本题重点考查了动词短语、介词短语及what的用法。易错点在于enjoy的用法。要熟记一些常用doing作宾语的动词，如enjoy、finish等。
