【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统的手艺。
【46题详解】
句意：虎头鞋虎头帽是中国传统的儿童手工艺产品。分析句子可知，横线上应是形容词修饰名词handicrafts，结合首字母t，可知应是形容词traditional“传统的”。故填(t)raditional。
【47题详解】
句意：人们经常用可爱的虎头图装饰 鞋子和帽子希望他们的孩子将会变得像老虎一样强壮和健康。分析句子可知，横线上词与“strong”并列，应是一个形容词，由于是父母对孩子的期望，根据首字母h，可知应是healthy“健康的”。故填(h)ealthy。
【48题详解】
句意：虎头鞋虎头帽非常受欢迎，尤其是在寒冷的冬天和新年期间。根据语境可知应是在寒冷的冬天和新年期间，横线上缺一个介词“在……期间”，结合首字母d，可知应是during。故填(d)uring。

第二节完成句子（共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分）
51. 漫画家翟进是一个残疾人，行走有困难。
Cartoon artist Zhai Jin is a _________ person. He _________ _________ _________.
【答案】 ①. disabled ②. has ③. difficulty ④. walking
【解析】
【详解】“person”是名词，所以第一空应填形容词作定语修饰“person”，“残疾的”英文表达为“disabled”。“have difficulty (in) doing sth.”意为“做某事有困难”；第二句表示主语“He”现在的状态，时态应用一般现在时，故谓语动词用has；“行走”英文表达为“walk”，此处需用doing形式，故填disabled；has；difficulty；walking。
52. 翟进从小就对画画感兴趣，喜欢在纸上乱画。
Zhai Jin _________ _________ _________ _________ from an early age, he liked to scribble on pieces of paper.
【答案】 ①. showed ②. his ③. interest ④. in
【解析】
【详解】show one’s interest in“对……感兴趣”，根据“liked”可知，时态为一般过去时，动词用过去式showed，his“他的”。故填showed；his；interest；in。
53. 父母鼓励他画画，因为可以让他避免受伤。
He _________ _________ to draw _________ his parents because it made him avoid injury.
【答案】 ①. was ②. encouraged ③. by
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照，可知句中缺少“鼓励”部分。分析句子，英文句中主语是“He”，对比中文句子，可知此句应用“被动语态”，结构为“主语+be+done+(by…)”；根据下文“made”，可知时态为一般过去时，be动词需用was，故填was；encouraged；by。
54. 为了提高漫画人物设计能力，翟进坚持练习画画。
________ ________ ________ improve his ability in character design, Zhai Jin keeps ________ drawing.
【答案】 ①. In ②. order ③. to ④. practising
【解析】
【详解】分析句子可知，横线上前三空，表达的是目的，后接动词原形，所以应是“in order to”为了，放句首首字母大写。第四空考查“keep doing”坚持做某事，由于横线上缺的是“练习”，所以应是practising。故填In；order；to；practising。
55. 他是一个多么勤奋的画家啊!
_________ _________ _________ artist he is!
【答案】 ①. What ②. a ③. hard-working
【解析】
【详解】分析句子可知，此句是一个感叹句。句型“what+a/an+形容词+名词单数+主谓”根据中英文对照，横线上缺的是形容词“勤奋的”hard-working，辅音音素开头，所以是不定冠词a。故答案为：What；a；hard-working。

50. (l)earn
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统的手艺。
【46题详解】
句意：虎头鞋虎头帽是中国传统的儿童手工艺产品。分析句子可知，横线上应是形容词修饰名词handicrafts，结合首字母t，可知应是形容词traditional“传统的”。故填(t)raditional。
【47题详解】
句意：人们经常用可爱的虎头图装饰 鞋子和帽子希望他们的孩子将会变得像老虎一样强壮和健康。分析句子可知，横线上词与“strong”并列，应是一个形容词，由于是父母对孩子的期望，根据首字母h，可知应是healthy“健康的”。故填(h)ealthy。
【48题详解】
句意：虎头鞋虎头帽非常受欢迎，尤其是在寒冷的冬天和新年期间。根据语境可知应是在寒冷的冬天和新年期间，横线上缺一个介词“在……期间”，结合首字母d，可知应是during。故填(d)uring。

第二节完成句子（共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分）
51. 漫画家翟进是一个残疾人，行走有困难。
Cartoon artist Zhai Jin is a _________ person. He _________ _________ _________.
【答案】 ①. disabled ②. has ③. difficulty ④. walking
【解析】
【详解】“person”是名词，所以第一空应填形容词作定语修饰“person”，“残疾的”英文表达为“disabled”。“have difficulty (in) doing sth.”意为“做某事有困难”；第二句表示主语“He”现在的状态，时态应用一般现在时，故谓语动词用has；“行走”英文表达为“walk”，此处需用doing形式，故填disabled；has；difficulty；walking。
52. 翟进从小就对画画感兴趣，喜欢在纸上乱画。
Zhai Jin _________ _________ _________ _________ from an early age, he liked to scribble on pieces of paper.
【答案】 ①. showed ②. his ③. interest ④. in
【解析】
【详解】show one’s interest in“对……感兴趣”，根据“liked”可知，时态为一般过去时，动词用过去式showed，his“他的”。故填showed；his；interest；in。
53. 父母鼓励他画画，因为可以让他避免受伤。
He _________ _________ to draw _________ his parents because it made him avoid injury.
【答案】 ①. was ②. encouraged ③. by
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照，可知句中缺少“鼓励”部分。分析句子，英文句中主语是“He”，对比中文句子，可知此句应用“被动语态”，结构为“主语+be+done+(by…)”；根据下文“made”，可知时态为一般过去时，be动词需用was，故填was；encouraged；by。
54. 为了提高漫画人物设计能力，翟进坚持练习画画。
________ ________ ________ improve his ability in character design, Zhai Jin keeps ________ drawing.
【答案】 ①. In ②. order ③. to ④. practising
【解析】
【详解】分析句子可知，横线上前三空，表达的是目的，后接动词原形，所以应是“in order to”为了，放句首首字母大写。第四空考查“keep doing”坚持做某事，由于横线上缺的是“练习”，所以应是practising。故填In；order；to；practising。
55. 他是一个多么勤奋的画家啊!
_________ _________ _________ artist he is!
【答案】 ①. What ②. a ③. hard-working
【解析】
【详解】分析句子可知，此句是一个感叹句。句型“what+a/an+形容词+名词单数+主谓”根据中英文对照，横线上缺的是形容词“勤奋的”hard-working，辅音音素开头，所以是不定冠词a。故答案为：What；a；hard-working。
