Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2019·郑州一中检测)

The McDonald family from Glasgow, Scotland, were on holiday in Western Australia when their vehicle broke down in a desert area ninety miles north of the town of Laverton. This happened on a Tuesday, and the McDonalds were expected to arrive in the city of Kalgoorlie on Wednesday evening. When they did not show up, Mrs McDonald's brother told the local police.

A spokesperson from the rescue team that discovered the McDonalds' vehicle said that the family planned carefully for their desert trip. They knew that they needed to stay with their vehicle instead of setting out to seek help, and they did the right thing by lighting a fire as a signal to attract attention.

When it comes to making a desert trip, the spokesperson also suggested bringing warm clothing for the cold nights and light clothing, hats, and sunscreen for the hot days. Besides, travelers should have a well­stocked survival kit (装备) including a first­aid kit, map, matches or lighter, and a knife. They should also make sure to pack plenty of food and water, spare tires (轮胎), and fuel. The spokesperson's final suggestion was to tell a friend or family member about your travel plans.

After the unpleasant experience, John McDonald told reporters that he had read quite a lot about desert survival before coming to Australia. He knew that if they had tried to walk to the nearest town, they would not have been able to carry enough water and that they had to cut down on what they ate, because digestion requires a great deal of water.

Mr McDonald said he was extremely happy to see the rescue team and thankful that his family had survived. When asked what advice he could share with other possible desert travelers, Mr McDonald said, “Don't panic. Stay where you are and wait to be rescued.” This trip through the Australian desert is one vacation the McDonald family will never forget!

本文是一篇说明文。作者主要就出国学习提出了几点建议。

1．G　解析：由该空后的“Many companies today...in another country”可知，这里是说留学给就业带来的好处，故选G项。

2．D　解析：由该空前的“ask yourself these questions”和空后的几个问题可知，应该选D项。

3．A　解析：由该段中的“Get your passport and visa (签证) early！”和“learn as much of the language as you can”等信息可知，本段主要是讲出国前的准备工作，故选A项。

4．C　解析：由该空前的“After the first few weeks it's usual to feel a little homesick”可知，C项内容符合此处语境。

Ⅲ.语法填空

(2019·合肥中学月考)

I was born in a town called Blackburn, in the northwest of England, and lived there till I left home at the age of eighteen. My parents had moved to England from India during __1__ 1970s.

As a child, I went to my local school and, of course __2__ (speak) English with a local accent. But home was very different: we lived in a kind of “little India”， with a huge extended family of uncles and aunts. I remember __3__ (feel) part of this big thing called “family”， and an even __4__ (big) thing called “India”. I suppose my family __5__ (real) influenced me while I was growing up. They used to talk about India as “home” — even __6__ at that time I had never been there!

To me, it doesn't seem strange at all to grow up as part of two cultures. I am always thinking that growing up with two cultures is a gift, not a __7__ (advantage). Now as a mother, I want my child __8__ (get) in contact (接触) __9__ her Indian roots too, so we are planning to visit there later this year. All her Indian __10__ (cousin) are expecting to meet her!

本文是一篇记叙文。“我”出生在英国西北部的一个小镇，在十八岁时离开那里去求学；“我”的父母早在20世纪70年代从印度迁到英国。“我”认为伴随着两个不同文化的成长是礼物而不是缺憾。

1．the　解析：考查冠词。during the 1970s为固定用法，意为“在20世纪70年代”期间；表示“某世纪某年代”时应在数字前加the。

2．spoke　解析：考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“As a child, I went...”可以判断，该句讲述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，故用speak的过去式spoke。

3．feeling　解析：考查非谓语动词。remember doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“记得(曾经)做过某事”；根据语境可知，这里指记得曾经发生的事情，故用feeling。

4．bigger　解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据上文中的big和该句中的even可以判断，空处应用big的比较级bigger。

5．really　解析：考查副词。根据空后的influenced可以判断，空处修饰动词，故用该词的副词形式really。

6．though/if　解析：考查固定搭配。他们过去常常将印度当作家乡来谈论，即使那时“我”从没有到过那里。even though/if为固定搭配，意为“尽管；即使”。

7．disadvantage　解析：考查行文逻辑。根据该句中的“a gift, not...”可以判断，此处表示伴随着两种文化成长是一件礼物，而不是缺憾。故用advantage的反义词disadvantage。

8．to_get　解析：考查非谓语动词。want sb. to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“想要某人做某事”。

9．with　解析：考查介词搭配。in contact with为固定介词短语，意为“与……有联系”。

10．cousins　解析：考查名词的数。根据该句中的All和are可知，应用名词的复数形式。

Ⅳ.短文改错

(2019·武汉二中月考)

The other day, on my way to home, I saw an old man surrounded by a great many people. As turned out that the old man was begging for some money. What surprised me was that the old man is neatly dressed, looking different from other beggar. My curiosity was aroused and I made up my mind to finding out the truth. I gave some small change to him, but he thanked me, nodding with smile. When there was fewer people, the old man told us that he was collecting money to raise some orphans. Being old, he can't do tough work like before. What a respectful man he is!

答案与解析

The other day, on my way  home, I saw an old man surrounded by a great many people.  turned out that the old man was begging for some money. What surprised me was that the old man  neatly dressed, looking different from other . My curiosity was aroused and I made up my mind to  out the truth. I gave some small change to him,  he thanked me, nodding with  smile. When there  fewer people, the old man told us that he was collecting money to raise some orphans. Being old, he can't do tough work  before. What a  man he is!

1．去掉to　考查副词的用法。home是副词，前面不加介词。

2．As→It　考查句子结构。此处It为形式主语，真正的主语为that从句，as不能作形式主语或者形式宾语。

3．is→was　考查时态。这里讲述的是以前的事情，因此用一般过去时。

4．beggar→beggars　考查名词的单复数形式。从other看，这里是指“别的乞丐们”，因此应是复数形式。

5．finding→find　考查非谓语动词。make up one's mind to do sth.为固定搭配，to为不定式符号，而不是介词。

6．but→and　考查逻辑关系。前后为顺接的动作，而不是转折。

7．smile前加a　考查冠词用法。smile为可数名词，这里运用了单数，因此要加不定冠词。

8．was→were　考查主谓一致。本句的主语是people，为群体名词，因此谓语动词用复数。

9．like→as　考查搭配。before为副词，因此前面不可以用介词。as before为as he did before的省略形式，as为连词。

10．respectful→respectable　考查形容词辨析。respectable意思是“令人尊敬的”，而respectful表达“对别人尊敬的”。
