5、。1which 考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“The Classic of Tea”，空处为关系词，指物，故填 which。2explanation 考查名词。根据空前的 detailed 可知，空处被形容词修饰，故用explain 的名词形式。3itself 考查反身代词。句意：然而，中国的茶文化远超过茶本身。据此可知，空处用反身代词 itself。4will be destroyed 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：如果水太热，茶叶中的营养将被破坏。根据句意可知，主语 nutrients(营养)in the tea 和动词 destroy 之间为被动关系，
6、故用被动语态；根据该句结构可知，该句为复合句，在 if 引导的条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时，主句则用一般将来时，故空处用一般将来时的被动语态。5leaves 考查名词的复数。根据常识可知，该处的茶叶为复数概念。26to 考查固定搭配。be accustomed to 为固定搭配，意为“习惯于” 。7constantly 考查副词。根据空后的动词 add 可知，空处修饰该动词，故用副词形式。8to offer 考查动词不定式。分析该句结构可知，该句使用了“Itis/wasadj.to do sth.”的固定句式，It 为形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语。9taking 考查现在分词。
7、分析该句结构可知，空处作伴随状语，且 take 与其逻辑主语the guests 之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词。10a 考查冠词。该处泛指“一句俗语” ，且 saying 的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词 a。.阅读理解AThank you for shopping with usChanged your mind?If you bought your product in one of our stores and have now changed your mind,we will exchange or refund it within seven days of purchase.T

21、eople，making the odds of winning very unlikely.5分析：本句是一个复合句。that offer money prizes 是定语从句，修饰先行词competitions。 making the odds of winning very unlikely 是现在分词短语作结果状语。译文：当然，提供现金奖励的比赛会吸引成千上万的人参与，这就使得获胜的概率变得很小了。1B 考查推理判断。This 指的应是前面的“If you dont try something，how can you succeed？” ，再结合第二段提到的人们参加比赛赢奖可知，此处指
22、的是对于比赛来说，一个人必须先参与进去然后才有可能赢得比赛，故选 B。2C 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“There are people who regularly take part in all sorts of competitions.its about being a winner and being rewarded with a prize”可知，compers 指的是那些频繁地参加比赛以获取奖品的人。故选 C。3A 考查词义猜测。根据画线词所在句“Of course competitions that offer money prizes attract entry from
23、 millions of people，making the odds of winning very unlikely”并结合常识可知，比赛的奖金是有限的，而参赛的人越多，获奖的概率就越小。由此可知，odds 的意思是“概率，可能性” 。故选 A。4B 考查推理判断。根据第三段的最后两句及第四段的内容尤其是“gets respect from other compers”“Some people have called me the Master of Comping，the King of Comping，the Guru of Comping.But its just a word，ju
24、st a phrase.Its just because I frequently appeared in the media”可知，Martin 经常参加比赛，而且得到了一些大奖并赢得了其他参赛者的尊重，甚至一些人称其为“参赛大师” 、 “参赛之王” 、 “参赛专家” 。由此可知，Martin 得到了广泛的关注。故选 B。.七选五阅读(2016兰州高三实战)We all,at one time or another,have pretended to be a rock star,singing and dancing along to our favourite song.Most of
