考点一 有提示词
1、动词
(1)谓语动词的时态,语态和主谓一致
一般考查1-2个,考生需要根据句子结构判断是否缺谓语动词。一旦确定句子缺少谓语动词,需要从3个方面考虑:时态、语态、主谓一致。确定时态要先观察本句中有无时间状语,不同的时间状语对应不同的时态。没有时间状语的,根据上下文中的时态确定空格的时态,常考查的时态有一般过去时和现在完成时。确定好时态后要考虑语态,也就是谓语动词与主语之间的关系,是主动还是被动。确定时态语态之后,还需考虑主谓一致的问题,即根据主语的单复数形式确定谓语动词的形式。
(2)非谓语动词
一般考查2个左右,这是语法填空中的一大难点。首先,要先观察设空句的主句和从句中有没有谓语动词来判断是否选用非谓语动词;其次要根据句子成分(主语、宾语、定语、状语、宾语补足语等)明确合适的非谓语动词形式(不定式、V-ing形式、过去分词)。总之,可以把握一个总体方向,即V-ing形式往往表主动或动作进行,过去分词一般表示被动或完成,不定式一般作目的状语或后置定语。
2. 词性转化
如形容词变副词、动词变形容词、名词变形容词等词性转换和un, dis, in,im,ir,il等否定前缀。动词变名词的词性转换
3、形容词、副词的比较等级,名词的单复数,名词所有格,代词和数词.
命题主要围绕形容词、副词的比较级与最高级;名词主要考查单复数和所有格的变化。代词主要考查人称代词,物主代词,主格宾格反身代词和基数词序数词之间的转换
考点二 无提示词
1、介词,冠词,代词
对于介词的考查以介词与动词、形容词或名词的固定搭配为主,考生平时一定要注重阅读积累,培养做题语感。
冠词的用法主要和名词连在一起,根据上下文进行判断是用定冠词还是不定冠词,还要注意首字母是元音音素还是辅音音素,如an hour/an honor/an honest man/a unique building。考生也要积累一些含有冠词的固定搭配,如all of a sudden, in a hurry, take an interest in, have a good understanding of 等。
考查代词时如无提示词,则重点考查代词it,it可代指前文提到的单数名词或不可数名词,也可作形式主语或形式宾语,还有一些固定结构,如take it seriously, take it for granted that..., when it comes to...等。
2、并列连词和三大从句连词
连词的考查包括的内容比较宽泛,主要分为两大类,即并列句和复合句,这也是做连词题的关键。并列句是用并列连词将两个或两个以上的简单句串联构成的长句,其基本结构是“简单句+并列连词+简单句”。常考查的并列连词包括表转折的连词but, while, yet;表并列的连词and, or;表因果的连词because, so等。
主从复合句由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成。复合句的考查主要包括定语从句的关系词(关系代词、关系副词)、名词性从句的连接词(从属连词、连接代词、连接副词)和各类状语从句的连接词。因此,考生务必要掌握三大从句的基本规则,做题时先判断从句类型,再分析从句成分,根据句意选择恰当的关系词或连接词。

Danay loves to read. Her parents often find her awake past her bedtime, under the covers with a flashlight, racing to the end of a story. To Danay, all books have a magic of their own.
Danay was shocked to find that kids near her may not own books or get to visit a library. She decided that needed to change. So she started an organization called Reading Heart. It collects books donated by people in the community. Then Danay and her family and friends hand them out to kids in schools, hospitals, and low-income areas nearby. In four years, they’ve given away nearly 400,000 books!
On visits to schools, Danay turns the book giveaway into a party. With dancing, free T-shirts, and tables of books, her “Book Tour” has visited more than 150 schools in her area to get kids excited about reading.
After kids choose their books, Danay gives them a challenge. “They can keep their book for as long as they like,” she says. “But when they finish it, they share it with a friend.” By exchanging books, Danay explains, kids get to read even more, yet still have a book to keep. “It’s like building mini (小型的) libraries for each kid. When we give 500 kids a book to share, each kid has the chance to read 500 books!”
Once a year, Danay holds a Reading Extravaganza at a park. Every year, more than 4,000 kids walk away with bags full of free books they can read over the summer. Danay loves helping others discover the magic of reading. “It’s an amazing feeling to see a kid’s smile when they get a book for the first time.”
5. Why did Danay start Reading Heart?
A. To raise money for kids. B. To collect books for libraries.
C. To find her favourite books. D. To help kids get books to read.
6. What are the kids required to do after finishing reading a book?
A. Share it with a friend. B. Give it to a library.
C. Keep it all the time. D. Read it once again.
7. How many kids get free books at Reading Extravaganza every year?
A. More than 150. B. About 500.
C. Over 4,000. D. Nearly 400,000.
8. What is the best title for the text?
A. Opening More Libraries B. Spreading Magic of Reading
C. Educating Kids at Partics D. Enjoying School Activities
【答案】5. D 6. A 7. C 8. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Danay通过成立Reading Heart组织,收集并分发书籍给缺少阅读资源的孩子,四年间送出近40万本书,激发孩子们对阅读的兴趣,帮助他们发现阅读的魔力。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Danay was shocked to find that kids near her may not own books or get to visit a library. She decided that needed to change. So she started an organization called Reading Heart.

(Danay震惊地发现,她附近的孩子可能没有自己的书,也没有机会去图书馆。她决定需要改变。所以她成立了一个名为Reading Heart的组织。它收集社区里人们捐赠的书籍。然后Danay和她的家人和朋友把它们分发给附近学校、医院和低收入地区的孩子们)”可知,Danay成立该组织是为了帮助孩子们获得阅读的书籍。故选D项。

Dogs are well-known for wagging(摇摆) their tails when they are happy or excited. Recent research has revealed, however, that dogs’ tail-wagging is more complicated(复杂的) than many people believe.
A group of scientists did more than 100 researches on how and why dogs wag their tails. They found dogs’ tails wag more to the right when they are experiencing positive feelings. Dogs’ tails wag more to the left when something makes them nervous or uncertain. When a dog’s tail is wagging low to the ground, it is a sign that the dog is willing or trying to please or calm someone.
Dogs seem to understand different ways of tail-wagging can communicate different meanings. For example, when dogs see videos of other dogs’ tails wagging to the left, they show signs of stress. However, humans still have a great deal to learn about tail-wagging. One big question is why dogs wag their tails so much.
The researchers suggested two possible explanations. One is that the humans who first raised dogs may have preferred dogs that were friendly toward humans, so those dogs were more likely to wag their tails. The other is that people were drawn to the rhythms(节奏) of a wagging tail, so they were more likely to choose dogs that wagged tails often. This feature would have been passed down. The scientists say further research should be done to understand more about the behaviour. “We still don’t know exactly which parts of the dog’s brain control which features of the tail-wagging,” researcher Andrea Ravignani said.
9. How will a dog wag its tail when it is nervous according to the text?
A. More to the left. B. To the fast thythm.
C. More to the right. D. Low to the ground.
10. What does Andrea Ravignani mean in the last paragraph?
A. People usually prefer dogs wagging tails less.
B. A dog’s brain has little to do with tail-wagging.
C. The feature of dogs’ tail-wagging might disappear.
D. There is still a lot to learn about dogs’ tail-wagging.
11. What is the text aimed at?
A. Giving some suggestions. B. Introducing some scientists.
C. Explaining a behaviour of dogs. D. Showing ways of raising dogs.
12. Which section of a magazine is the text probably taken from?
A. Sport. B. Science. C. History. D. Art.
【答案】9. A 10. D 11. C 12. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了科学家对狗摇尾巴行为的研究,揭示了狗摇尾巴的复杂性,包括狗在不同情绪下尾巴摇摆的方向和含义,以及人类对此行为的理解仍有待深入。
9. 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Dogs’ tails wag more to the left when something makes them nervous or uncertain.( 当有什么东西让狗感到紧张或不确定时,它们的尾巴会更多地向左摇摆。)”可知,当狗紧张时,它的尾巴会更多地向左摇摆。故选A项。
10. 推理判断题。由文章最后一段研究者Andrea Ravignani的话“We still don’t know exactly which parts of the dog’s brain control which features of the tail-wagging,( 我们仍然不知道狗的大脑中哪些部分控制尾巴摇摆的哪些特征。)”可知,关于狗的尾巴摇摆,还有很多未知的信息需要我们去了解和学习。因此,Andrea Ravignani的意思是我们对狗的尾巴摇摆还有很多要学习的。故选D项。
11. 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Recent research has revealed, however, that dogs’ tail-wagging is more complicated (复杂的) than many people believe.( 然而,最近的研究揭示,狗的摇尾巴行为比许多人认为的要复杂得多。)”以及后文对狗摇尾巴行为的研究介绍可知,本文主要介绍的是科学家对狗摇尾巴行为的研究,解释狗的一种行为。故选C项。
12. 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Recent research has revealed, however, that dogs’ tail-wagging is more complicated (复杂的) than many people believe.( 然而,最近的研究揭示,狗的摇尾巴行为比许多人认为的要复杂得多。)”以及通读全文可知,文章介绍了科学家对狗摇尾巴行为的研究可知,文章属于科学研究范畴,所以这篇文章可能来自杂志的“科学”部分。故选B项。

Do you know how many kinds of breakfast cereal(麦片) there are in my local supermarket? 165 kinds! That’s just one product. Think about all the varieties of biscuits, yoghourt, and chocolate bars. We have so much choice these days. It’s unbelievable!
So all this choice must be a good thing, right? It makes us happier, right? Well, not necessarily. People like the idea of having a choice, and many people think more choice must be a good thing. But, in fact, too much choice can cause us problems. If there are too many different things to choose from, we can’t know what to choose. If you offer me a choice of three cookies, I can decide quickly which one I want. But if you offer me a choice of 33 cookies, my brain crashes.
Another problem with too much choice is that we think there must be the perfect cookie somewhere. The fact is, there isn’t — so when we have spent half an hour deciding which cookie we want, we feel dissatisfied, because it’s not as good as expected. It’s not cookie perfection. And then we begin to regret all the other cookies we didn’t choose, thinking one of them might have been better.
So there can be such a thing as too much choice. We need to recognize that while some choice is good, too much can leave us at a loss. We should focus on being pleased with what we choose. I am going to remember this next time I’m offered a cookie — choose one and enjoy it!
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To sell a product. B. To express surprise.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To answer a question.
14. What problem can too much choice cause?
A. Difficulty in choosing. B. Worry about health.
C. A careless decision. D. A loss of memory.
15. The underlined part “It’s not cookie perfection” probably means ________.
A. we can’t make good cookies B. there’s no perfect choice
C. we are pleased with all cookies D. the cookie doesn’t taste delicious
16. How will the writer solve the problem of too much choice according to the last paragraph?
A. Recognize the perfect. B. Make a quick choice.
C. Ignore what is offered. D. Enjoy what is chosen.
【答案】13. C 14. A 15. B 16. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过提出超市商品种类繁多这一现象,引发了对选择过多可能带来的问题的讨论。作者分析了过多选择可能导致的难以决策、不满足感以及后悔等问题,并提出了应专注于对所选择的东西感到满意的观点。
13. 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Do you know how many kinds of breakfast cereal (麦片) there are in my local supermarket? 165 kinds! That’s just one product. Think about all the varieties of biscuits, yoghourt, and chocolate bars. We have so much choice these days. It’s unbelievable! (你知道我们当地的超市里有多少种早餐麦片吗?165种!这只是一种产品。想想各种各样的饼干、酸奶和巧克力棒。现在我们有太多选择了。这是难以置信的!)”可知,作者对于现在有这么多的选择感到惊讶,并通过列举超市中的麦片种类来引出后文关于选择过多的讨论。因此,第一段的目的是引入话题。故正确答案为C。
14. 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“If there are too many different things to choose from, we can’t know what to choose. (如果有太多不同的东西可供选择,我们就不知道该选什么。)”可知,过多的选择会造成的问题是难以选择。故正确答案为A。
15. 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“The fact is, there isn’t — so when we have spent half an hour deciding which cookie we want, we feel dissatisfied, because it’s not as good as expected. (事实并非如此——所以当我们花了半个小时来决定我们想要哪块饼干时,我们会感到不满意,因为它没有预期的那么好。)”可知,当我们花了半个小时决定想要哪种饼干时,我们会感到不满意,因为它不如预期的好。因此,“It’s not cookie perfection”的意思是没有完美的选择,而不是我们不能做好饼干、我们对所有饼干都很满意或饼干味道不好。A. we can’t make good cookies我们做不出好的饼干;B. there’s no perfect choice没有完美的选择;C. we are pleased with all cookies我们对所有的饼干都很满意;D. the cookie doesn’t taste delicious饼干味道不好。故正确答案为B。
16. 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“We need to recognize that while some choice is good, too much can leave us at a loss. We should focus on being pleased with what we choose. I am going to remember this next time I’m offered a cookie — choose one and enjoy it! (我们需要认识到,虽然有些选择是好的,但太多的选择会让我们不知所措。我们应该专注于对我们的选择感到满意。下次有人给我饼干的时候,我一定要记住这一点——选一个,享受它!)”可知,作者认为我们应该专注于对自己所选择的东西感到满意,并在下次被提供饼干时选择一个并享受它。因此,作者解决选择过多问题的方法是享受所选择的,而不是认识到完美、快速做出选择或忽略所提供的内容。故正确答案为D。

The Chengdu World University Games, held from July 28 to August 8, were more than just medals and sports.
A total of 6,500 student-athletes from 113 countries and regions competed at the Chengdu games. Besides showing their skills in different sports, these athletes also learned about many sides of Chinese culture. Each night in the athletes’ village, they could experience activities such as trying on hanfu, playing Chinese chess and playing traditional Chinese music.

To attract the attention of the giant pandas, many athletes also made an effort to learn how to say “come here” in the local Sichuan dialect(方言).
Chinese and foreign athletes also made good friends during the games. One of the Chinese words that Brazilian badminton player Welton Menezes picked up was Tan — the family name of Tan Qiang, a Chinese opponent of his.
On July 30, Tan beat Menezes with ease in a men’s doubles match during the mixed team event. But the image of Menezes’ worn-out(破旧的) shoes left a deep impression on Tan. He asked for Menezes’ shoe size immediately after the match and gave his own pair of new shoes to Menezes.

一般考查1-2个,考生需要根据句子结构判断是否缺谓语动词。一旦确定句子缺少谓语动词,需要从3个方面考虑:时态、语态、主谓一致。确定时态要先观察本句中有无时间状语,不同的时间状语对应不同的时态。没有时间状语的,根据上下文中的时态确定空格的时态,常考查的时态有一般过去时和现在完成时。确定好时态后要考虑语态,也就是谓语动词与主语之间的关系,是主动还是被动。确定时态语态之后,还需考虑主谓一致的问题,即根据主语的单复数形式确定谓语动词的形式。
(2)非谓语动词
一般考查2个左右,这是语法填空中的一大难点。首先,要先观察设空句的主句和从句中有没有谓语动词来判断是否选用非谓语动词;其次要根据句子成分(主语、宾语、定语、状语、宾语补足语等)明确合适的非谓语动词形式(不定式、V-ing形式、过去分词)。总之,可以把握一个总体方向,即V-ing形式往往表主动或动作进行,过去分词一般表示被动或完成,不定式一般作目的状语或后置定语。
2. 词性转化
如形容词变副词、动词变形容词、名词变形容词等词性转换和un, dis, in,im,ir,il等否定前缀。动词变名词的词性转换
3、形容词、副词的比较等级,名词的单复数,名词所有格,代词和数词.
命题主要围绕形容词、副词的比较级与最高级;名词主要考查单复数和所有格的变化。代词主要考查人称代词,物主代词,主格宾格反身代词和基数词序数词之间的转换
考点二 无提示词
1、介词,冠词,代词
对于介词的考查以介词与动词、形容词或名词的固定搭配为主,考生平时一定要注重阅读积累,培养做题语感。
冠词的用法主要和名词连在一起,根据上下文进行判断是用定冠词还是不定冠词,还要注意首字母是元音音素还是辅音音素,如an hour/an honor/an honest man/a unique building。考生也要积累一些含有冠词的固定搭配,如all of a sudden, in a hurry, take an interest in, have a good understanding of 等。
考查代词时如无提示词,则重点考查代词it,it可代指前文提到的单数名词或不可数名词,也可作形式主语或形式宾语,还有一些固定结构,如take it seriously, take it for granted that..., when it comes to...等。
2、并列连词和三大从句连词
连词的考查包括的内容比较宽泛,主要分为两大类,即并列句和复合句,这也是做连词题的关键。并列句是用并列连词将两个或两个以上的简单句串联构成的长句,其基本结构是“简单句+并列连词+简单句”。常考查的并列连词包括表转折的连词but, while, yet;表并列的连词and, or;表因果的连词because, so等。
主从复合句由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成。复合句的考查主要包括定语从句的关系词(关系代词、关系副词)、名词性从句的连接词(从属连词、连接代词、连接副词)和各类状语从句的连接词。因此,考生务必要掌握三大从句的基本规则,做题时先判断从句类型,再分析从句成分,根据句意选择恰当的关系词或连接词。

Danay loves to read. Her parents often find her awake past her bedtime, under the covers with a flashlight, racing to the end of a story. To Danay, all books have a magic of their own.
Danay was shocked to find that kids near her may not own books or get to visit a library. She decided that needed to change. So she started an organization called Reading Heart. It collects books donated by people in the community. Then Danay and her family and friends hand them out to kids in schools, hospitals, and low-income areas nearby. In four years, they’ve given away nearly 400,000 books!
On visits to schools, Danay turns the book giveaway into a party. With dancing, free T-shirts, and tables of books, her “Book Tour” has visited more than 150 schools in her area to get kids excited about reading.
After kids choose their books, Danay gives them a challenge. “They can keep their book for as long as they like,” she says. “But when they finish it, they share it with a friend.” By exchanging books, Danay explains, kids get to read even more, yet still have a book to keep. “It’s like building mini (小型的) libraries for each kid. When we give 500 kids a book to share, each kid has the chance to read 500 books!”
Once a year, Danay holds a Reading Extravaganza at a park. Every year, more than 4,000 kids walk away with bags full of free books they can read over the summer. Danay loves helping others discover the magic of reading. “It’s an amazing feeling to see a kid’s smile when they get a book for the first time.”

Dogs are well-known for wagging(摇摆) their tails when they are happy or excited. Recent research has revealed, however, that dogs’ tail-wagging is more complicated(复杂的) than many people believe.
A group of scientists did more than 100 researches on how and why dogs wag their tails. They found dogs’ tails wag more to the right when they are experiencing positive feelings. Dogs’ tails wag more to the left when something makes them nervous or uncertain. When a dog’s tail is wagging low to the ground, it is a sign that the dog is willing or trying to please or calm someone.
Dogs seem to understand different ways of tail-wagging can communicate different meanings. For example, when dogs see videos of other dogs’ tails wagging to the left, they show signs of stress. However, humans still have a great deal to learn about tail-wagging. One big question is why dogs wag their tails so much.
The researchers suggested two possible explanations. One is that the humans who first raised dogs may have preferred dogs that were friendly toward humans, so those dogs were more likely to wag their tails. The other is that people were drawn to the rhythms(节奏) of a wagging tail, so they were more likely to choose dogs that wagged tails often. This feature would have been passed down. The scientists say further research should be done to understand more about the behaviour. “We still don’t know exactly which parts of the dog’s brain control which features of the tail-wagging,” researcher Andrea Ravignani said.
9. How will a dog wag its tail when it is nervous according to the text?
A. More to the left. B. To the fast thythm.
C. More to the right. D. Low to the ground.
10. What does Andrea Ravignani mean in the last paragraph?
A. People usually prefer dogs wagging tails less.
B. A dog’s brain has little to do with tail-wagging.
C. The feature of dogs’ tail-wagging might disappear.
D. There is still a lot to learn about dogs’ tail-wagging.
11. What is the text aimed at?
A. Giving some suggestions. B. Introducing some scientists.
C. Explaining a behaviour of dogs. D. Showing ways of raising dogs.
12. Which section of a magazine is the text probably taken from?
A. Sport. B. Science. C. History. D. Art.

Do you know how many kinds of breakfast cereal(麦片) there are in my local supermarket? 165 kinds! That’s just one product. Think about all the varieties of biscuits, yoghourt, and chocolate bars. We have so much choice these days. It’s unbelievable!
So all this choice must be a good thing, right? It makes us happier, right? Well, not necessarily. People like the idea of having a choice, and many people think more choice must be a good thing. But, in fact, too much choice can cause us problems. If there are too many different things to choose from, we can’t know what to choose. If you offer me a choice of three cookies, I can decide quickly which one I want. But if you offer me a choice of 33 cookies, my brain crashes.
Another problem with too much choice is that we think there must be the perfect cookie somewhere. The fact is, there isn’t — so when we have spent half an hour deciding which cookie we want, we feel dissatisfied, because it’s not as good as expected. It’s not cookie perfection. And then we begin to regret all the other cookies we didn’t choose, thinking one of them might have been better.
So there can be such a thing as too much choice. We need to recognize that while some choice is good, too much can leave us at a loss. We should focus on being pleased with what we choose. I am going to remember this next time I’m offered a cookie — choose one and enjoy it!
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To sell a product. B. To express surprise.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To answer a question.
14. What problem can too much choice cause?
A. Difficulty in choosing. B. Worry about health.
C. A careless decision. D. A loss of memory.
15. The underlined part “It’s not cookie perfection” probably means ________.
A. we can’t make good cookies B. there’s no perfect choice
C. we are pleased with all cookies D. the cookie doesn’t taste delicious
16. How will the writer solve the problem of too much choice according to the last paragraph?
A. Recognize the perfect. B. Make a quick choice.
C. Ignore what is offered. D. Enjoy what is chosen.

The Chengdu World University Games, held from July 28 to August 8, were more than just medals and sports.
A total of 6,500 student-athletes from 113 countries and regions competed at the Chengdu games. Besides showing their skills in different sports, these athletes also learned about many sides of Chinese culture. Each night in the athletes’ village, they could experience activities such as trying on hanfu, playing Chinese chess and playing traditional Chinese music.
On July 31, overseas athletes met the 6-year-old Zhi Ma, the panda who inspired the design of Rongbao — the mascot of the Games. Their excitement was obvious as most of them first met with a giant panda in person.
To attract the attention of the giant pandas, many athletes also made an effort to learn how to say “come here” in the local Sichuan dialect(方言).
Chinese and foreign athletes also made good friends during the games. One of the Chinese words that Brazilian badminton player Welton Menezes picked up was Tan — the family name of Tan Qiang, a Chinese opponent of his.
On July 30, Tan beat Menezes with ease in a men’s doubles match during the mixed team event. But the image of Menezes’ worn-out(破旧的) shoes left a deep impression on Tan. He asked for Menezes’ shoe size immediately after the match and gave his own pair of new shoes to Menezes.

A. Took exercise. B. Played tennis. C. Played Chinese chess.
