The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor.He asked the child sweetly， "What are you making？" The boy answered， "Oh，I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work.The words struck the parents so hard that they were in silence.Then tears started to stream down their cheeks （脸颊）.Though no word was spoken，both knew what must be done.That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

Joshua Countryman，the Henry Sibley High School choir director，was invited by his school to make a video to cheer up sheltered-at-home students this spring.After asking the teachers in his school to record themselves singing Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors，"Countryman turned the voices and videos into a virtual choir posted on YouTube.
Then he let his school choirs go virtual，too：not with just one song but with all 13 songs they had been practising for their spring performance.In the end，he created a special concert."I don't like to lose，"said Countryman."To give up on a concert experience，to me，that felt like a loss.It was important that we could get a win."

"It was stressful at first.I overthought a lot of things，"said choir student Tamit Weldeyesus."I probably had to record the first song 20 or 25 times，and I kept telling myself that this had to be perfect because if it was not，everyone could hear my mistakes.After Mr.Countryman showed us what to do，my problems were all solved.It was a lot easier than I had expected."
After spending half the spring conducting online classes and organizing the virtual choir concert，Countryman said，"The virtual choir creates an excellent opportunity to really make assessments（评价）for each student.Even if we go back to school every day，the virtual component（组成部分）is going to have to be important at least in my class because of that huge risk of increased virus transmission（病毒传播）in the choir."

"I'll need a notebook, " That would be my sister Christine,my brother Nels or me.
After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook,she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little.We didn't have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum's bank account,which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.
When Nels graduated from grammar school ，he needed some money for high school.We sat by the table and I offered my " Little Bank" which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor.I laid the box carefully in front of Mum.After counting out the money in the little bank and finding there was not enough,we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.
Nels volunteered to work in Dillon's grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking.Now
there was enough money.We felt relieved.
So many things came out of the little bank that year：Christine's dress for the school play,Nel's operation ...Whatever happened ，we always knew we still had the bank to depend on.We never used her bank account.That was twenty years ago.
Last year,I sold my first story.When the money came I thought of Mum's bank account（银行账户）.

1~3.【答案】C、A、B
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第二段Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in a wooden bowl.（因为这位爷爷已经打破1-2个盘子，他的食物就用一个木碗来装了。）可知，老人用木碗是因为他曾经打破几个盘子。故选C。
（2）词句猜测题。根据第三段The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor.He asked the child sweetly， "What are you making？" The boy answered， "Oh，I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up."

（3）标题归纳题。根据第二段Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in a wooden bowl."（因为这位爷爷已经打破1-2个盘子，他的食物就用一个木碗来装了。）和第三段"The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor.He asked the child sweetly， "What are you making？" The boy answered， "Oh，I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work.The words struck the parents so hard that they were in silence.（4岁的儿子全程沉默地看着。一天晚上在晚饭前，这位父亲注意到他的儿子在玩一块木板。他问孩子，"你在干吗？"男孩回到，"哦，我在给你和妈妈做个小碗，等我大了让你们吃饭时用。"4岁的儿子笑着又回去工作了。这些话使父母如此的震惊以至于他们沉默了。）可知，这篇文章是围绕小男孩的父母给爷爷用木碗吃饭来展开描述的。A．A Dinner Table餐桌；B．A Wooden Bowl一个木碗；C．An Old Man and His Son一个老人和他的儿子；D．A Couple and Their Son一对夫妇和他们的儿子。故选B。
本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述4岁男孩的爷爷因为年老抓不住碗，吃饭的时候会打破盘子和碗，男孩的父母就给爷爷单独在旁边用木碗吃饭。男孩看到之后，也学着父母给他们做了木碗。当父母意识到他们对待老父亲的行为是错误的时候，就马上把父亲请回饭桌和他们一起吃饭了。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
4~7.【答案】A、B、B、D
【解析】（1）A．细节理解题。根据文章第二段He usually went with them to the playground.When they ran off to play,he would sit under a tree and read storybooks.Ranjan通常和Sumer以及其他朋友一起去操场．当他们跑去玩的时候，Ranjan会坐在树下看故事书。可知，因为身体不好的原因，Ranjan会在其他人打球的时候看书，故选A。
（2）B．细节理解题。根据文章第三段Sumer was tall and athletic.He spent most of his time running,swimming or riding bicycles.He was an extremely good player in every game.He was a member of the school's football team and cricket team.The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up.可知，Sumer个子高，身体健壮。他大部分时间都在跑步、游泳或骑自行车。他在每场比赛中都是一个非常好的运动员，他是学校足球队和板球队的一员，体育老师认为他长大后会在比赛中大显身手。可知，Sumer的体育非常的好，因此体育老师认为他能成为体育明星。故选B。
（3）B．推理判断题。根据文章第六段So you are not happy with yourself too？I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies.I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.所以你对自己也不满意？我一直希望我能像你一样在学习上做得好。我甚至认为我可以放弃我的运动技能，在那些考试中取得更好的成绩。可知，Sumer对自己的学习成绩不满意，他甚至愿意用自己的体育技能来换取成绩。故选B。
（4）D．句意猜测题。根据文章最后一段The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time？ The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill.两个朋友互相看了看，同时喊道："山那边的草看起来更绿了。可知，当二个朋友都对自己的现状不满意，他们都渴望着自己没有得到的东西。可推知，我们总是想要更好的，而对自己现在拥有的不满意。结合选项：A.Practice makes perfect ："熟能生巧"；B.Nobody knows his own strong points" 没有人知道自己的长处"；C.Grass usually appears greener in faraway places" 在遥远的地方，草通常看起来更绿"；D.We always want something better and feel unhappy" 我们总是想要更好的东西，却感到不快乐"。D项与划线句子意思相近，故选D。
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了二个好朋友Sumer 和Ranjan。Ranjan身体不好，不能做大量的体育锻炼，而Sumer身体强壮，但学习成绩不大好。后来二个好朋友一交流，发现自己都对彼此的现状不满意，都想要更好的东西。
做这类题材的阅读理解时要求考生对文章先通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。做题时要在抓住关键句子的基础上进行合理地分析，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

（3）B.推理判断题。由第四段中I kept telling myself that this had to be perfect（我一直告诉自己，这必须是完美的）可知，Weldeyesus在录制的过程中努力做到完美。故选B。
（4）A.推理判断题。由最后一段After spending half the spring conducting online classes and organizing the virtual choir concert，Countryman said， "The virtual choir creates an excellent opportunity to really make assessments （评价） for each student.Even if we go back to school every day，the virtual component （组成部分） is going to have to be important at least in my class because of that huge risk of increased virus transmission （病毒传播） in the choir."（在花了半个春天的时间指挥在线课程和组织虚拟唱诗班音乐会之后，Countryman说："虚拟唱诗班为真正评估每个学生创造了一个极好的机会。即使我们每天回到学校，至少在我的课堂上，虚拟唱诗班也必须是重要的，因为唱诗班中有病毒传播增加的巨大风险。"）可推知，他觉得虚拟合唱团是一种很好的教学工具。故选A。
本文是说明文。新冠疫情期间，美国明尼苏达州的各种虚拟合唱团大显身手。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
16~20.【答案】E、D、F、A、G
【解析】（1）推理判断题。上文With such a various culture，adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone.（面对如此多样的文化，适应它对任何人来说都是一个挑战。）说明在英国如何适应多元文化是个挑战，结合下文的内容可知，本文主要就如何应对这一挑战给予建议；E选项"遵循这些步骤对你会有很大的帮助"承上启下，阐述了本文的主旨，符合语境，选项中的"these steps"指下文所阐述的建议。故选E。
（2）段落标题题。文章结构分析可知，设空处为此段的主旨句；由下文Britain is made up of different regions that have their different traditions and languages.Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.（英国是由不同的地区组成的，这些地区有不同的传统和语言。了解不同的文化会帮助你避免犯错。）可知，此段主要阐述要了解不同的文化；由此可知，D选项"理解差异"符合本文主旨，适合作为主旨句；选项"Understand the differences"与下文中的"Understanding different cultures"表述的内容一致。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。由主旨句Get used to small spaces.（习惯小空间。）"可知，此段的建议是要适应小的空间；F选项"因此，尽力熟悉较小的空间是非常必要的"符合本段主旨，且与上文Like all European nations，Britain does not have the luxury of space.Houses，apartments and cars are all smaller.（像所有欧洲国家一样，英国没有奢侈的空间。房子、公寓和汽车都更小。）构成因果关系。故选F。
（4）段落标题题。文章结构分析可知，设空处为此段的主旨句；由下文Always apologize for knocking into someone，even if it is his fault.Respect people's personal space and always wait in line.（每次撞到别人都道歉，即使是他的错。尊重他人的私人空间，总是排队等候。）可知，本段阐述的是要有礼貌；A选项"要有礼貌"符合本段主旨，适合作为主旨句。故选A。
（5）推理判断题。由主旨句Accept the jokes.（接受玩笑。）可知，此段的建议是要接受别人开玩笑。由下文Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection.As Britons usually put it， "You never make fun of someone you don't like."（捉弄某人是表达感情的一种常见方式。正如英国人通常说的那样，"你永远不会取笑你不喜欢的人。"）可知，玩笑是英国人表达喜爱的一种方式；G选项"英国文化中最令人困惑的一点就是幽默"说明幽默是英国文化的一个方面，也解释了接受开玩笑的原因，符合语境。故选G。
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何适应英国文化的一些建议。

36.【答案】【小题1】on
【小题2】were
【小题3】offering
【小题4】dotted
【小题5】a
【小题6】it
【小题7】that/which
【小题8】To have
【小题9】traditional
【小题10】friends
【解析】（1）考查介词搭配。句意：爱尔兰拥有美丽的乡村，这一直对其人民和传统产生着巨大的影响。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语have an influence on...，意为"对……有影响"，符合句意。故填on。
（2）考查时态主谓一致。句意：在它的悠久历史中，有许多伟大的作家和诗人。分析句子结构可知，空格处为谓语动词，根据时间状语In the long history of it可知，此处为一般过去时，there be结构中，谓语动词的单复数形式使用就近原则，空后的many great writers and poets是名词复数，所以be动词使用复数形式。故填were。
（3）考查现在分词。句意：美丽的乡村令人兴奋，激发人们的灵感，为每一种感官提供一些东西。分析句子可知，空格处为非谓语动词作状语，与逻辑主语The beautiful countryside之间是主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式。故填offering。
（4）考查过去分词。句意：连绵起伏的青山上点缀着牛羊，宁静的风景真是一场赏心悦目的盛宴。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语，dot与宾语its rolling green hills之间是被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式表示被动。故填dotted。
（5）考查不定冠词。句意：你可以感受到阳光照在你的皮肤上，呼吸到鲜花的芬芳，在一个安静的早晨欣赏鸟儿的歌声。分析句子可知，morning为可数名词单数，其前需有限定词，结合句意可知，此处表示"在一个安静的早晨"是泛指，所以使用不定冠词，quiet的首个音素为辅音。故填a。
（6）考查人称代词。句意：由于这些美景，爱尔兰发展了强大的传统，包括音乐、舞蹈和餐饮，这并不奇怪。分析句子可知，此处为it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句。故填it。
（7）考查定语从句。句意：由于这些美景，爱尔兰发展了强大的传统，包括音乐、舞蹈和餐饮，这并不奇怪。分析句子可知，此处为连词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，先行词traditions指物，故填that/which。
（8）考查不定式。句意：要有机会体验这一点，可以去乡村酒吧，喝一杯葡萄酒或当地啤酒。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合句意可知，此处表目的，所以使用不定式形式，且表主动意义。句首单词首字母大写。故填To have。
（9）考查形容词。句意：如果幸运的话，你可能会欣赏到一些传统的音乐和舞蹈。分析句子可知，此处为形容词作定语，tradition的形容词为traditional意为"传统的"符合句意。故填traditional。
（10）考查名词复数。句意：如果你和友好的当地人交朋友，你可能会亲身体验当地的文化和习俗。分析句子可知，此处为名词作宾语，make friends with是固定短语，意为"与……交友"，符合句意。故填friends。
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是美丽的爱尔兰及其传统。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

38. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mum and Her Bank Account My family had the tradition to sit down by the kitchen table every Saturday night to count out the money Dad had brought home.
These are for the rent,and these for the groceries. " Mum counted out and divided the big silver pieces.
"I'll need a notebook, " That would be my sister Christine,my brother Nels or me.
After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook,she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little.We didn't have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum's bank account,which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.
When Nels graduated from grammar school ，he needed some money for high school.We sat by the table and I offered my " Little Bank" which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor.I laid the box carefully in front of Mum.After counting out the money in the little bank and finding there was not enough,we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.
Nels volunteered to work in Dillon's grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking.Now
there was enough money.We felt relieved.
So many things came out of the little bank that year：Christine's dress for the school play,Nel's operation ...Whatever happened ，we always knew we still had the bank to depend on.We never used her bank account.That was twenty years ago.
Last year,I sold my first story.When the money came I thought of Mum's bank account（银行账户）.

1.续写词数应为120左右：

So I hurried over to Mum's home._______
Knowing that there was no bank account at all,I felt shocked._________
答案和解析
1~3.【答案】C、A、B
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第二段Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in a wooden bowl.（因为这位爷爷已经打破1-2个盘子，他的食物就用一个木碗来装了。）可知，老人用木碗是因为他曾经打破几个盘子。故选C。
（2）词句猜测题。根据第三段The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor.He asked the child sweetly， "What are you making？" The boy answered， "Oh，I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work.The words struck the parents so hard that they were in silence.（4岁的儿子全程沉默地看着。一天晚上在晚饭前，这位父亲注意到他的儿子在玩一块木板。他问孩子，"你在干吗？"男孩回到，"哦，我在给你和妈妈做个小碗，等我大了让你们吃饭时用。"4岁的儿子笑着又回去工作了。这些话使父母如此的震惊以至于他们沉默了。）可知，struck是及物动词，是父母听了儿子的话之后的反应。4岁的儿子是单纯的有样学样，但是作为大人的父母发现他们对待父亲的行为是他们不想被自己的儿子对待的。所以儿子那样做是他们没有想到的，让他们很震惊，和A选项意思一致。A．shocked惊讶的；B．annoyed生气的；C．worried担心的；D．confused困惑的。故选A。
（3）标题归纳题。根据第二段Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in a wooden bowl."（因为这位爷爷已经打破1-2个盘子，他的食物就用一个木碗来装了。）和第三段"The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor.He asked the child sweetly， "What are you making？" The boy answered， "Oh，I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work.The words struck the parents so hard that they were in silence.（4岁的儿子全程沉默地看着。一天晚上在晚饭前，这位父亲注意到他的儿子在玩一块木板。他问孩子，"你在干吗？"男孩回到，"哦，我在给你和妈妈做个小碗，等我大了让你们吃饭时用。"4岁的儿子笑着又回去工作了。这些话使父母如此的震惊以至于他们沉默了。）可知，这篇文章是围绕小男孩的父母给爷爷用木碗吃饭来展开描述的。A．A Dinner Table餐桌；B．A Wooden Bowl一个木碗；C．An Old Man and His Son一个老人和他的儿子；D．A Couple and Their Son一对夫妇和他们的儿子。故选B。
本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述4岁男孩的爷爷因为年老抓不住碗，吃饭的时候会打破盘子和碗，男孩的父母就给爷爷单独在旁边用木碗吃饭。男孩看到之后，也学着父母给他们做了木碗。当父母意识到他们对待老父亲的行为是错误的时候，就马上把父亲请回饭桌和他们一起吃饭了。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
4~7.【答案】A、B、B、D
【解析】（1）A．细节理解题。根据文章第二段He usually went with them to the playground.When they ran off to play,he would sit under a tree and read storybooks.Ranjan通常和Sumer以及其他朋友一起去操场．当他们跑去玩的时候，Ranjan会坐在树下看故事书。可知，因为身体不好的原因，Ranjan会在其他人打球的时候看书，故选A。
（2）B．细节理解题。根据文章第三段Sumer was tall and athletic.He spent most of his time running,swimming or riding bicycles.He was an extremely good player in every game.He was a member of the school's football team and cricket team.The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up.可知，Sumer个子高，身体健壮。他大部分时间都在跑步、游泳或骑自行车。他在每场比赛中都是一个非常好的运动员，他是学校足球队和板球队的一员，体育老师认为他长大后会在比赛中大显身手。可知，Sumer的体育非常的好，因此体育老师认为他能成为体育明星。故选B。
（3）B．推理判断题。根据文章第六段So you are not happy with yourself too？I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies.I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.所以你对自己也不满意？我一直希望我能像你一样在学习上做得好。我甚至认为我可以放弃我的运动技能，在那些考试中取得更好的成绩。可知，Sumer对自己的学习成绩不满意，他甚至愿意用自己的体育技能来换取成绩。故选B。
（4）D．句意猜测题。根据文章最后一段The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time？ The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill.两个朋友互相看了看，同时喊道："山那边的草看起来更绿了。可知，当二个朋友都对自己的现状不满意，他们都渴望着自己没有得到的东西。可推知，我们总是想要更好的，而对自己现在拥有的不满意。结合选项：A.Practice makes perfect ："熟能生巧"；B.Nobody knows his own strong points" 没有人知道自己的长处"；C.Grass usually appears greener in faraway places" 在遥远的地方，草通常看起来更绿"；D.We always want something better and feel unhappy" 我们总是想要更好的东西，却感到不快乐"。D项与划线句子意思相近，故选D。
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了二个好朋友Sumer 和Ranjan。Ranjan身体不好，不能做大量的体育锻炼，而Sumer身体强壮，但学习成绩不大好。后来二个好朋友一交流，发现自己都对彼此的现状不满意，都想要更好的东西。
做这类题材的阅读理解时要求考生对文章先通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。做题时要在抓住关键句子的基础上进行合理地分析，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

本文是说明文。新冠疫情期间，美国明尼苏达州的各种虚拟合唱团大显身手。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

36.【答案】【小题1】on
【小题2】were
【小题3】offering
【小题4】dotted
【小题5】a
【小题6】it
【小题7】that/which
【小题8】To have
【小题9】traditional
【小题10】friends
【解析】（1）考查介词搭配。句意：爱尔兰拥有美丽的乡村，这一直对其人民和传统产生着巨大的影响。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语have an influence on...，意为"对……有影响"，符合句意。故填on。
（2）考查时态主谓一致。句意：在它的悠久历史中，有许多伟大的作家和诗人。分析句子结构可知，空格处为谓语动词，根据时间状语In the long history of it可知，此处为一般过去时，there be结构中，谓语动词的单复数形式使用就近原则，空后的many great writers and poets是名词复数，所以be动词使用复数形式。故填were。
（3）考查现在分词。句意：美丽的乡村令人兴奋，激发人们的灵感，为每一种感官提供一些东西。分析句子可知，空格处为非谓语动词作状语，与逻辑主语The beautiful countryside之间是主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式。故填offering。
（4）考查过去分词。句意：连绵起伏的青山上点缀着牛羊，宁静的风景真是一场赏心悦目的盛宴。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语，dot与宾语its rolling green hills之间是被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式表示被动。故填dotted。
（5）考查不定冠词。句意：你可以感受到阳光照在你的皮肤上，呼吸到鲜花的芬芳，在一个安静的早晨欣赏鸟儿的歌声。分析句子可知，morning为可数名词单数，其前需有限定词，结合句意可知，此处表示"在一个安静的早晨"是泛指，所以使用不定冠词，quiet的首个音素为辅音。故填a。
（6）考查人称代词。句意：由于这些美景，爱尔兰发展了强大的传统，包括音乐、舞蹈和餐饮，这并不奇怪。分析句子可知，此处为it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句。故填it。
（7）考查定语从句。句意：由于这些美景，爱尔兰发展了强大的传统，包括音乐、舞蹈和餐饮，这并不奇怪。分析句子可知，此处为连词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，先行词traditions指物，故填that/which。
（8）考查不定式。句意：要有机会体验这一点，可以去乡村酒吧，喝一杯葡萄酒或当地啤酒。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合句意可知，此处表目的，所以使用不定式形式，且表主动意义。句首单词首字母大写。故填To have。
（9）考查形容词。句意：如果幸运的话，你可能会欣赏到一些传统的音乐和舞蹈。分析句子可知，此处为形容词作定语，tradition的形容词为traditional意为"传统的"符合句意。故填traditional。
（10）考查名词复数。句意：如果你和友好的当地人交朋友，你可能会亲身体验当地的文化和习俗。分析句子可知，此处为名词作宾语，make friends with是固定短语，意为"与……交友"，符合句意。故填friends。
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是美丽的爱尔兰及其传统。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
