5、考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空格处应用动词不定式表示目的。故填 to study。2measures 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本文用的是一般现在时, “The TOEFL test”是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词要用单数第三人称形式。故填 measures。3how 考查副词。句意为:它评价你把你的听、说、读、写能力结合起来的程度。how well 指程度如何。故填 how。4skills 考查名词复数。听、说、读、写是四种能力,所以要用名词 skill 的复数形式skills。5their 考查物主代词。句意为:超过 3 000 万来自世界各地的人参加托福考试来展示他2们的英语语言能力
6、。空格处修饰名词“Englishlanguage competence” ,指前面提到的“30 million people”的能力,应用形容词性物主代词。故填 their。6more 考查形容词的比较级。由空格后的“than”可知,此处应用 many 的比较级形式。故填 more。7but 考查连词。前一句说只要你愿意,你可以多次重复参加托福考试,后一句说你不能在 12 天的时间内连续报考。前后两句话在意思上是转折关系。故填 but。8widely 考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词“respected” ,故填所给词的副词形式widely。9organized 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构
7、可知,空格处应用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语“The TOEFL test”和动词 organize 构成被动关系,所以要用过去分词形式。故填organized。10including 考查词性转换。此处指包括澳大利亚、加拿大、英国和美国。应用所给词的介词形式 including,意为“包含,包括” 。.阅读理解(2016河南六市第一次联考)He may not have an “S” across his chest but this dog is most certainly a hero.Harley,who was rescued from a puppy mill four years
