VIII. 短文填空。(每空2分,共16分)
根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
When you talk with someone, you’ll need to end your conversation at some point. And there are many reasons why you need to do that. Either you or the other person may need to continue an activity such 78 working or shopping. Or you may have run out of things to say. You just want to keep the conversation short.
But 79 do you end a conversation in a polite way? It may depend on where and how the conversation started. It may also depend on your relationship with the 80 person. If you already know that person, you can just say, “I need to run now.” Or you can say, “I’ll catch you later.” You may also give a reason for ending the conversation. “I really need to go---my piano class starts in ten 81 .”
Perhaps you just meet someone in a social situation, and you have a nice talk. But then you have to go. You can say, “It was nice meeting you. Maybe we can talk happily 82 sometime in the future.”
Another way to end a conversation is to make it easy for the other person to 83 . If you see the other person is already not patient, you can say, “Well, I’m sure you have a lot to do today.”
You could use these 84 to end a conversation, and you should notice that others may also use them. 85 they do so, you should know that it’s time for you to stop and get on with your day.
【短文大意】介绍了与人交谈结束谈话的几种情况、方式或技巧。
78.【解析】考查短语搭配。根据上下文意思,是例如、比如短语such as。注意因书写不规范造成不得分,如a写成像u的将失去2分。
79.【解析】考查疑问词。根据后面的回答知道是如何有礼貌地结束谈话?故填how。注意因如书写不规范把h写成像n的也会不得分。
80.【解析】考查形容词及句型搭配。上下文句意为同时也依赖于与对方的关系,对话通常是两个人,一个是one,那么另外一个则是the other才正确。因此此空只能填other,此空的关键单词是conversation中隐含的数量是二(two)。注意因书写不规范把o写成像a或把r写成像v的,或把h写成像n的均是不得分的。
81.【解析】考查名词。句意为给一个结束的理由,我真的要离开,等会儿要上钢琴课,根据ten只能是minutes来表示一会儿,注意此单词的书写易错误。
82.【解析】考查副词。句意是但你必须得离开,那你就说也许将来我们会再交谈,因此表示再一次,又一次是again,许多同学不注意上下逻辑关系,以为是somettime的辞谢填一个介词at。
83.【解析】考查动词。根据上文的81题和82题均提到离开,再由后面的你看见对方不耐烦、、那说明对方想离开,你得自动停下,注意不是对方停下,这从后面补充所说你可以说,我相信你有许多事要做可知,这样此空的答案应该是leave或go,但许多同学填stop这不能接受,前面原因也说是你自动停下,而不是对方停下,“ 再如句型中不定式的逻辑主语是the other,不是you,因此stop /end /finish答案是不符合此文逻辑关系的。另外注意书写不规范把g写成像y的也会不得分。
84.【解析】考查名词。根据短文大意可知此文是这些方式、技巧或建议等,故此空答案可以是ideas /ways /suggestions /methods /means /tips /skills。我们从文章中知道结束对话的并非均是语言,除了语言还有面部表情等,因此填words或expressions,advice等也是不可接受的答案,它们均不能准确的表达作者的意图。注意因书写不规范把i写成没有一点也会不得分。
85.【解析】考查连词。最后得到结论,总之(一旦、如果)你这样做的话,那就是你该停下的时候了。此句的形式主语是you不是the other,注意与83课的比较和区别,有的同学填stop的依据可能就在此句,因此本题答案可以是When /If /Once /Whenever均正确。注意此处单词首字母的大小写,如果小写将会扣1分。
此题单词拼写正确相当重要,如果拼写错误将不得分,拼写正确而形式错误能得1分,如minutes写成minute得1分,但写成munites则得0分,还有ideas写成idea得1分。

VIII. 短文填空。(每空2分,共16分)
根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
Sometimes we are used to drawing a quick conclusion(结论), But is it right or not? My little son gave me a ____78___.
One day, I took my five-year-old son to go out for a walk after dinner. On the way, we saw an old woman selling fruits. I didn’t take enough money with me. ___79____ my son liked eating fruit very much, I could buy only two pears and gave them to him.
The little boy held the pears in his hands. I asked him if he could share one ___80____ me. On hearing this, he quickly took a bite(咬) from one pear, and the ___81___.
I was quite surprised. I ___82___ myself what mistakes I had made in educating my son so that he acted in such a greedy(贪婪) way. I was lost in thought. Perhaps I was just ___83____ too much. My son was too young to know about sharing and giving.
Suddenly, my son gave me the pear in his right hand and said, “Mom, you have this one. This one is much sweeter.” Then I knew why my little son took a bite from ___84___ pear.
From then on, I always tell myself not to reach a conclusion too ___85___. Try to spend some more time in understanding things better.
【短文大意】介绍我们对待人与事不能从表面现象马上给出相应的结论。
78.【析】考查名词。根据下文作者以对待儿子吃梨一事开始作出的判断与最后儿子的话来说明误解了儿子的行为,这件事给了作者一个教训即lesson。这个词多数学生不知此意思,只知有功课之意,不易填出。
79.【析】考查连词。根据后一句意思应该是虽然儿子喜欢吃梨,但我只能买两个梨给他,故填Although或Though。
80.【析】考查介词。根据意思是和某人分享某物应该是share sth with sb的固定搭配。
81.【析】根据前面I could buy only two pears,再由吃了one,又吃the other,即两者时,一个……另一个。
82.【析】根据后面作者反思自己对孩子的教育是否出现问题,即自问应该填asked或questioned。此填学生易想到此答案。
83.【析】首先根据结构知道应该填一个动词的-ing(进行时态)或-ed(被动语态),再由前后句意思,此句应该是一个主动句,那排除被动,只能填一个现在分词,其意思应该是作者考虑太多或担心得太多,从后一句知道原因是孩子太小而无法理解分享与给予。故填thinking /considering或worrying。
84.【析】根据前面第81空知道作者终于知道儿子为什么要吃两个梨的原因了,但pear是单数,不能填two或both,能表示两者都同时还接单数只能是each才正确,而either只表示其中一个,但81空是吃两个,不正确,every表示三者或以上,数量错误,也不正确。
85.【析】最后一段与首段的we are used to drawing a quick conclusion意思相照应,再次证明自己的观点就是不能过早或过快下结论,故此空缺少一个副词,那么应该填quickly( =fast)或early。

VIII.短文填空。(每空2分,共16分)
根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
We all know that a good night’s rest helps us stay healthy. After we sleep for 7 or 8 hours in bed and 75 up next morning, our mind is better prepared to memorize and learn something.
But what about getting a rest during the middle of the day?
Scientists say, “Short periods of sleep, napping (小睡), may help learning and memory. Napping can help young children learn better. It can 76 help older people remember longer.”
Take China as an example. Chinese people are used to napping after lunch.
Recently researchers made a survey among nearly 3,000 Chinese people over 65 years old. The researchers asked them 77 they napped and for how long. They found that about 60 percent of them took a nap and they napped for 60 to 90 minutes. The research shows that napping for about an hour is the best.
However, these are the findings for those 78 the age of 65. Doctors say that napping for about an hour may be too 79 for young and healthy people. And they believe that half an hour is enough to 80 young and healthy people from feeling tired. By doing so, 81 will help them stay awake.
Doctors also say, “If you have trouble falling asleep at 82 , take a daytime nap for less than 45 minutes and don’t nap after 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
75. [答案] wake
[考点] 动词短语
[解析] 根据本句前半部分sleep,那第二天早晨当然是起床或本来,故此题get也应该正确。
76. [答案] also
[考点] 副词
[解析] 根据空前的前面两句话均表达可以帮助……,那接着也(还)是帮助,本题too不可接受。
77. [答案] if /whether
[考点] 连词
[解析] 根据后面句子发觉的结果或结论得知是询问是否小睡和睡多长时间,英语中的是否是if或whether,注意不要写成天气weather。
78. [答案] over
[考点] 介词短语
[解析] 根据上段中的nearly 3,000 Chinese people over 65 years old和however知道是相对于65岁以上的人来说的,注意不要受固定短语at the age of的影响而错填at。
79. [答案] long
[考点] 形容词
[解析] 根据78题解析知道65岁以上的人睡1个小时是很好的,但对年青人或健康的人却是睡久了,这从后面的half an hour is enough更证实了睡长了,另外在最后一段的for less than 45 minutes也能得到答案,此空实际上填much也是可以。
80. [答案] stop
[考点] 句型搭配
[解析] 根据句型stop / keep /prevent sth. /sb. from doing 阻止某人或某事不做某事,句意为让年青人不感到疲累小睡半小时就够了。
81. [答案] it
[考点] 代词
[解析] 根据句意什么帮助保持清醒,显然根据上文是小睡半小时这件事,那就应该用形式主语it来代替。
82. [答案] night
[考点] 名词
[解析] 根据后面的daytime和本句的fall asleep知道应该是晚上。注意evening不可接受,此处不能与at搭配。

2019(B)
短文填空。
根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
You’ve been here in China for a few days, and you may notice that Chinese people can sometimes be very direct. But don’t be fooled into thinking you can___54___anything you like to them. Here are a few things foreigners____55____China should never say.
Have you been on vacation? You look so tanned (晒黑的)!
While many people in the West grow up with the idea that dark skin is a sign of beauty, this is not true in China. That explains___56___umbrellas are just as common on sunny days as they are on rainy days here.
I really love China, but…
Don’t finish that___57___. No place can be perfect. It’s fine if you say something impolite about your___58___country, but don’t do it about someone else’s. This doesn’t just happen in China, but it’s fair to say the Chinese people show more love to their country.
I think Chinese food is the best food in the world.
What’s that? As everyone in China should already know this, saying that you love Chinese food is like saying that sugar is___59___or ice is cold. It’s won’t hurt anybody, but they may think you know___60___about their food culture. Since there are many different kinds of Chinese food, it sounds better to talk about the local food that you like most.
Keep them in mind and___61___your stay in China!
【答案】54. say
55. in 56. why
57. sentence(complaint)
58. own 59. sweet
60. nothing/little
61. enjoy
【解析】
短文介绍了外国游客在中国不应该说的一些话。例如:“你度假了吗?你看起来很黑!”、“我真的很喜欢中国,但是…”、“我认为中国食物是世界上最好的食物。”同时文章也暗示我们,每个国家都有自己国家的习俗,一定要入乡随俗。
【54题详解】
句意:但不要愚昧地认为你对他们想说什么就说什么。根据后面的句子“Here are a few things foreigners____2____China should never say.”可知,短文介绍了外国人在中国最忌讳说的一些话,不是想说什么就说什么,情态动词say后跟动词原形,故答案为say。
【55题详解】
句意:这里有一些外国人在中国不应该说的话。in China在中国,故答案为in。
【56题详解】
句意:这就解释了为什么雨伞在晴天和雨天一样常见。explain“解释”,中国人不喜欢皮肤黑,在晴天也打着雨伞,这也是雨伞在晴天和雨天一样常见的原因,故答案为why。
【57题详解】
句意:不要说出那样的话(抱怨)。that是指前面的“I really love China, but…”,是一句抱怨的话,故答案为sentence(complaint)。
【58题详解】
句意:如果你对自己的国家说些不礼貌的话没关系。在形容词性物主代词所修饰的名词前面加上own,表示“某人自己的”,故可以添加own。
【59题详解】
句意:说你喜欢中国菜,就像说出糖很甜或冰很冷一样。根据“ice is cold”判断,此处是让你说出事物的属性特征,糖给我们的印象肯定会是甜的,故答案为sweet。
【60题详解】
句意:但他们可能会认为你对他们的饮食文化一无所知。根据前面的句意“说你喜欢中国菜,就像说出糖很甜或冰很冷一样”理解可知,好像说出这样的话跟没说一样,会让中国人认为自己对他们的饮食文化一无所知。故答案为nothing/little。
【61题详解】
句意:要记住它们,祝你在中国过得愉快!并列连词and前后连接的是两个祈使句,需要填写动词原形,短文是写给外国游客的,最后要献上祝福的话:祝您在中国过得愉快!enjoy“享受……的乐趣,过得快活”。
