1.________　2.________　3.________　4.________　5.________　6.________　7.________　8.________　9.________　10.________
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《中国诗词大会》的情况，包括“百人团”的组成以及比赛的内容和规则。
1.tests　考查主谓一致和动词的时态。文章用的是一般现在时；句中that引导的是定语从句，先行词是an ongoing game show，是单数名词。
2.In　考查介词。在第一个环节，用in the first part。
3.competing　考查非谓语动词。所填词作定语，修饰名词competitors，表示主动含义，所以用competing。
4.called　考查非谓语动词。在后台的100个人被称为“百人团”。表示被动，用过去分词作定语。
5.a　考查冠词。form a line of a poem “形成一句诗”。
6.choices　考查名词。multiple意为“数量多的，多种多样的”，后接可数名词的复数形式。
7.when　考查状语从句的连接词。当其中一个选手不能说出一句相关诗句的时候，比赛就结束了。
8.winner　考查词性转换。此处指的是第二轮胜出的人。winner “胜利者”。
9.to score　考查非谓语动词。固定用法the＋序数词(＋名词)＋to do，故the first后面接动词不定式作定语。
10.exciting　考查词性转换。修饰后面的名词event，表明其特性，所以用exciting。
Ⅳ.短文改错
Dear Steven，
I would like to invite you to the annually Coming­of­age Ceremony of our school.
This big event would be held in the school auditorium from 9 am to 11 am in March 12. All the Senior Three students are expect to attend it with the company of their parents and teachers.
The Coming­of­age Ceremony is really a good chance for we students to express our gratitude to our beloved parents as well our teachers. Meanwhile, it will turn a new page in our life, that means we have grown up and it is time we shoulder more responsibilities for the family and society.
I'd appreciate it if you could come and share with the unforgettable moment with us. I'm looking forward to your arrive！
Yours，
Li Hua

Yours，
Li Hua
难项分析：
第四处：expect→expected　考查被动语态。expect与Senior Three students之间为被动关系，因此应用被动语态，故把expect改为expected。
第七处：that→which　考查定语从句的引导词。that不能引导非限制性定语从句，且引导词指代主句整体内容，故只能用which。
第八处：shoulder→shouldered　考查虚拟语气。“It is (high) time that＋从句”句型中，从句谓语动词要用一般过去时或“should＋动词原形”。

I worked on those and sent it back to her but didn't hear anything.” It was not long __12__ Moira found another agent who was __13__ if she was willing to rewrite it from the first person to the third person.

A decade went by, and Moira found herself itching to write again, this time __15__ for her own enjoyment. She __16__ herself the challenge of creating a thriller and chose Western Australia as her setting.
As she was writing just for herself, something surprising began to happen. “The characters __17__ a life of their own; they started doing things I hadn't thought about.

C.energetically D．permanently
答案：B　actively “积极地”；professionally “作为职业地”；energetically “精力充沛地”；permanently “永久地”。根据but转折及该句中的关键词never a possibility可知，尽管Moira喜欢写作，但是把写作当作职业来追求几乎是不可能的。故选B。

C.since D．when
答案：A　根据上文中的“sent it back to her but didn't hear anything”可知，Moira重新把小说发给代理人但是没有收到任何回复，不久之后Moira找到了另外一个代理人。句型It wasn't long before ... 意思是“不久之后……”。故选A。
13.A.fascinated B．interested
C.anxious D．amused
答案：B　根据下文中的“I'm no longer interested”可知，此处指这位代理人对她的书感兴趣。故选B。
14.A.common B．absurd
C.terrifying D．disappointing
答案：D　common “共同的”；absurd “荒谬的”；terrifying “令人恐惧的”；disappointing “令人失望的”。根据两位代理人的态度可知，Moira这两次都以失败告终，所以这件事情肯定令她感到失望。故选D。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2019·全国卷Ⅱ)
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co­author of the This Book Will series (系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hidingsecrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

Teaching Poetry
No poem should ever be discussed or “analysed”， until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student.Better still, perhaps, read it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it—suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analysing” it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”， and “a heightening of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”， and it can “save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to communicate this to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make_room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

Ⅲ.短文改错
(2020·河南省南阳一中高三第三次月考)Smoking is widespread habit even among teenage students. The number of young smokers are increasing. It is estimated that over 10% of the senior high school students have tried smoking once or more and some of them even steal money from their parent to buy cigarettes, that is terrible.
As it is known to all, smoking is harmful for health. And it's even more harmful to teenage students for it does greatly harm not only to their health but also to their mind.
Teenage students are future builders of the country. They should spend their time learn what is useful but keep a healthy lifestyle as well. So it's high time that teenage smokers make up their minds to give up smoking.
答案：

Teenage students are future builders of the country. They should spend their time what is useful keep a healthy lifestyle as well. So it's high time that teenage smokers ∕ up their minds to give up smoking.
1．widespread前加a　考查冠词。后面的名词habit是单数可数名词，是泛指，要加不定冠词。widespread以辅音音素开头。故widespread前加不定冠词a。
2．are→is　考查主谓一致。the number of ... 后谓语动词应该用单数形式。故are改为is。
3．parent→parents　考查名词。他们的父母，这里应该用复数形式。故parent改为parents。
4．that→which　考查定语从句。引导非限定性定语从句不能用that，应该用which指代前面一句话的内容。故that改为which。
5．去掉it　考查定语从句。本句是一个由as引导的非限定性定语从句，as指代后面的主句，故去掉it。
6．for→to　考查介词。be harmful to “对……有害”，固定搭配。故for改为to。
7．greatly→great　考查形容词。形容词great修饰名词harm。故greatly改为great。
8．learn→learning　考查固定句型。spend some time doing sth.是固定句式结构。故learn改为learning。
9．but→and　考查连词。此处用and连接两个并列谓语。故but改为and。
10．make前加should或make→made　考查虚拟语气。该句应该使用虚拟语气，其结构为It is (high) time that sb. did/should do sth.，故make前加should或make改为made。
