35、,Li Hua第一处:考查形容词。此处修饰主语“I” ,指人,应用 excited。第二处:考查固定搭配。dream of/about doing sth.意为“梦想做某事” ,为固定搭配。第三处:考查非谓语动词。look forward to doing sth.意为“期望做某事” ,为固定用法。第四处:考查形容词。根据“Im”可知,动词 be后应接形容词作表语。第五处:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。全文用的是一般现在时;且主语为“teaching” ,所以应把 was改为 is。第六处:考查名词性从句。此处引导表语从句,从句中不缺成分,故用连词 that。第七处:考查名词复数。knowledg
36、e 是不可数名词,没有复数形式。第八处:考查代词。devote oneself to sth.意为“致力于某事” ;主语为“I” ,所以反身代词应用 myself。第九处:考查冠词。normal 的读音不以辅音音素开头;且此处泛指进入一所普通的大8学。故用不定冠词 a。第十处:考查形容词的比较等级。favourite 意为“最喜欢的” ,无比较等级或最高级形式,所以去掉 most。四、语法填空(2018沈阳市下学期高三第三次模拟考试试题)Visitors to Britain may find the most marvelous place _1_ (enjoy) the local cul

40、d) in front of the bar while they chat and wonder what to order.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,讲的是英国的酒馆文化。1答案与解析:to enjoy 考查非谓语动词。被修饰的名词前有最高级修饰时,非谓语动词充当后置定语常用不定式,故用 to enjoy。2答案与解析:into 考查介词。固定搭配 get into trouble表示“陷入麻烦” ,与后面一句中的 difficulty相照应,所以填 into。3答案与解析:a 考查冠词。drink 这里表示“一杯酒,一份酒精饮料” ,是可数名词,前面加不定冠词,表示泛指,故用 a。
41、4答案与解析:waiters 考查名词。根据破折号后的“you have to go to the bar to buy drinks”可知,这样的酒馆是没有服务员(waiters)的,waiter 是可数名词,no 常修饰可数名词的复数形式,故用 waiters。5答案与解析:inconvenient 考查形容词。sound 在这里表示“听起来” ,后面加形容词充当表语,说明主语的性质、特点,根据上面一句可知,没有服务员,需要自己去买饮料,这给人的感觉是不方便的(inconvenient)。96答案与解析:service 考查名词。介词后面加名词,service 表示“服务” ,符合语境。7答案与解析:possibly 考查副词。此处应用副词 possibly作状语。8答案与解析:are 考查时态。if 引导条件状语从句常用一般现在时代替一般将来时,主语是 you,故用 are。9答案与解析:angrier 考查比较级。根据空后的 than并结合语境可知,这里表示比较,故用 angry的比较级形式 angrier。10答案与解析:standing 考查非谓语动词。此处现在分词与被修饰词 strangers构成主谓关系,因此用非谓语动词 standing。
