25、pression is now used to describe the occurrence around the globe, including areas of North America, Latin America, Asia and Australia.1without 解析：考查介词。根据语境可知，此处指没有交通工具便很难到达杂货店，故填 without。2becomes/will become 解析：考查时态和主谓一致。本文的基本时态为一般现在时，此处也应用一般现在时；又因动词的ing 形式作主语，谓语动词使用单数。此外，这里也可理解为将来的一种情况，从句用一般现在时表将来，
26、主句用一般将来时。3an 解析：考查冠词。过去十年里，美国人平均开 6英里的车程以往返于家和最近的杂货店。an average of“平均” 。4especially 解析：考查副词。此处指特别是住在南方的美国乡下人，especially“特别，尤其” 。5longer 解析：考查形容词比较级。根据上下文语境及空前的“much”可知，此处指美国乡下人，特别是住在南方的美国乡下人去购物的旅途更远，故使用比较级。6serving 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，find 为谓语动词，one 7supermarket与 serve之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处应用动词的ing 形式作后置定语
27、。7to drive 解析：考查非谓语动词。动词 expect后接不定式作宾语。expect to do sth.“期待做某事” 。8is called 解析：考查动词的时态和语态。这种现象被称为食物沙漠。本文的基本时态为一般现在时，故用一般现在时；又因 This phenomenon与 call之间是被动关系，故使用被动语态。9when 解析：考查关系词。a decade为先行词，表示时间，后面是定语从句，句中缺少时间状语，故填 when。10choice(s) 解析：考查名词。食物选择的不均衡性并不局限在世界某个区域。空前有名词作定语，空处作介词 of的宾语，故空处应用名词形式。choic
28、e“选择”既可作可数名词，又可作不可数名词，故填 choice(s)。、七选五Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 1 But it seems that many people dont cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish
29、isnt difficult. 2 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.3 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that youre standing at the oceans edge.

32、en buying fish, you should first smell it.G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.【语篇解读】本文向大家介绍了如何用简单的方法购买和烹制鱼。1.G 【解析】考查与首句语意的一致性。由空后的句意表示转折可知，转折前的句子在语意上应该保持一致，即说明吃鱼对健康的益处。故选 G。2.D 【解析】考查句子的承上启下作用。空前一句提到对鱼的选购、储存和烹制并不困难，空后一句讲本文是关于如何以一种简单的方式购买和烹制鱼的，故选 D这只需要一点点知识就能做好。3.F 【解析】考查主题
33、句。段落的支撑细节始终围绕主题句展开，本段中第二、三句围绕如何通过嗅觉来鉴别鱼是否新鲜，因此可以判断 F项正确。4.A 【解析】考查段落中句子间语意的连贯性和代词的正确使用。空前提到，浓烈的气味说明鱼已不新鲜，故不能买这种鱼。据此可知 A项正确。、短文改错Dear Chris，Im Li Ming，monitor of Class One，Senior One.Im glad to hear that you will come to our school as exchange student next term.I feel it an honor of us to study with

39、. 解析：考查冠词，student 是可数名词，前需加冠词，exchange 是以元音音素开头的单词，因此使用不定冠词 an。 解析：考查固定搭配，表达“对于某人而言”使用介词 for。 解析：考查固定搭配，此处是“告诉某人” ，使用 tell sb.，多了介词 about。 解析：考查动词，should 是情态动词，后接动词原形，因此使用 prepare。 解析：考查名词的复数形式，kind“种类”是可数名词，表示“不同的种类” ，different后接其复数形式。 解析：考查动词的用法，a chance to do sth.“做某事的机会” ，to 为动词不定式，后接动词原形，因此使用 experience。 解析：考查定语从句引导词，考查非限制性定语从句的引导词，使用 which。10 解析：考查固定搭配，表达“与某人相处融洽”使用动词短语 get along well with sb.，因此 good改为 well。 解析：考查连词的用法，前后句子为转折的关系，and 为并列的关系，因此改为but。解析：考查动名词形式，此处 and连接两个并列的结构，by 后接动名词，因此10 learn使用其动名词形式 learning。
