请同学们认真完成 [练案20]

Ⅰ.阅读理解

Earthquakes happen without warning (前兆)．They can happen any time of a day，at any point during the year.But don’t worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt.Only a few big ones hurt people.However，it’s important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening.

Do not go outside.You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings.If you are outside，stay away from buildings and power lines (输电线)．

Stay under a desk，table，or other strong furniture.Hold on to it.Or stay in a corner of the building.Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing.Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.

Keep away from windows，pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building，and anything else that could fall and hurt you.Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake，not by the shaking itself.

Also keep away from a fire.You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire.

If you are driving when an earthquake happens，stop the car if it’s safe.Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops，and don’t drive near bridges.Try not to stop by power lines or trees.These could fall and hurt you.

After you finish reading a poem，take a few moments to consider what it is saying.Sometimes its meaning is better understood through repeated readings.__5.C__

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了如何阅读和理解诗歌的几点建议。

解析：

1．上文说有时我们会马上爱上一件事，有时需要很长时间，下文又说如果幸运的话，我们遇到一首诗，它会马上吸引我们，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，故D项(诗歌也是如此)符合语境。

2．根据本空后的“Sometimes a poem that seems boring on first reading becomes clear with more readings.”可知，有时候，一首诗第一次读的时候似乎很枯燥，但读的次数越多就越清晰。此处是说反复阅读的好处，故E项(反复阅读一首诗会加深你对它的理解)符合语境。

3．根据本空前的“Poets are fond of using unusual words.”可知，诗人喜欢使用不寻常的词。此处承接上文，讲的还是关于这些词的情况，故G项(不要跳过这些词或试图猜测它们的意思，而是查阅它们)符合语境。

4．根据本空前的“Some poems have unclear structures and hearing a poet’s reading will make the poem’s rhythm clear.”可知，有些诗的结构不清晰，听诗人朗诵会使诗的韵律清晰。此处承接上文，讲的是听诗人朗诵的好处，故A项(另外，诗人的朗诵甚至还会帮助你理解诗的意义)符合语境。

5．根据本空前的“Sometimes its meaning is better understood through repeated readings.”可知，有时候反复阅读可以让你更好地理解诗的含义。此处是说另一种情况，故C项(另一些时候，它们是通过对一首诗的反思来理解的)符合语境。

Ⅳ.语法填空

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Reggie was a normal boy，but he had been born deaf.He was well known to everyone in town，and they were all very fond of him.Unfortunately，he always seemed to be treated __1.differently__(different) from everyone else.

Reggie didn’t like this very much.But the person __2.who/that__ disliked this most was his friend Michael.Michael decided that things had to change.So he managed to persuade other people in town __3.to choose__(choose) one day of the festival for deaf people this year.During that whole day everyone in town would have to wear earplugs (耳塞)．The day __4.was called__(call) The Day of Silence，and when it arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears.As the hours passed，people began to realize __5.how__ difficult life was for the deaf.Soon no one was thinking of Reggie as __6.a__ deaf person.__7.Using__(use) his usual gestures，Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone.They were surprised at his ability to find solutions __8.to__ almost any problem.They realized all Reggie needed was __9.more__(much) time than others to communicate.That was the only difference.

It was on this day __10.that__ everyone realized they have to give people a chance to show how useful they are.

文章大意：这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Reggie天生失聪，别人对待他有所不同。他的朋友设法说服镇上的其他人选择今年的一天为今年的聋人节。随着时间的流逝，人们开始意识到聋人的生活是多么艰难。很快，就没有人把Reggie当成一个聋人来看待了。

解析：

1．考查副词。该空修饰动词treated，用副词。所以填differently。

2．考查定语从句。__2__ disliked this most是一个定语从句，the person是先行词，关系词在从句中作主语，指人。所以填who /that。

3．考查固定用法。句意：因此，他设法说服镇上的其他人选择今年的一天为今年的聋人节。persuade sb.to do sth.“说服某人做某事”，该用法是固定用法。所以填to choose。

4．考查时态和语态。整篇文章都用的是一般过去时，所以这里也用一般过去时，The day与call之间是被动关系，用被动语态。所以填was called。

5．考查宾语从句。句意：随着时间的流逝，人们开始意识到聋人的生活是多么艰难。__5__ difficult life was for the deaf.是一个宾语从句，文中表示“多么”。所以填how。

6．考查冠词。句意：很快，就没有人把Reggie当成一个聋人来看待了。文中泛指“一个聋子”，deaf的首字母发音是辅音。所以填不定冠词a。

7．考查非谓语动词。use的逻辑主语是Reggie，它们之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语。所以填Using。

8．考查固定用法。句意：他们对他几乎能解决任何问题的能力感到惊讶。find solutions to...“找到……的解决方案”，该用法是固定用法。所以填to。

9．考查比较级。根据than others to communicate可判断出这里在进行比较，用比较级。所以填more。

10．考查强调句。把It was和该空去掉，这个句子结构完整，语义清晰，所以这是一个强调句。强调句的基本结构：it is /was ＋ 被强调部分 ＋ that ＋ 句子的其他成分。所以填that。
