27、e 后面加可数名词时应用其复数形式。故填ideas。3them 解析：考查代词。根据本段第一句中的“some clothes”可知，此处应用表示复数意义的代词。故填 them。4are fixed 解析：考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。本句中，that 引导定语从7句，先行词是“the labels” ，定语从句中缺少谓语动词。主语与“fix”是被动关系，fix为及物动词，故要用其被动形式，同时主语 labels为复数，故谓语动词也要用复数，且根据全文时态可知，应用一般现在时。故填 are fixed。5to take 解析：考查非谓语动词。在名词性从句中，由特殊疑问词引导的从句，可以改成特殊
28、疑问词加不定式的结构。故填 to take。6a 解析：考查冠词。根据语境可知，一件衬衫上面的商标也许会告诉你要用温水清洗该衣服。 “一件衬衫”为泛指概念，故用不定冠词 a。7as 解析：考查连词。如果你按照说明去洗衣服，你会使得衣服看上去最好看。此处应用 as，意为“按照” ，引导方式状语从句。8buying 解析：考查省略。本句考查 when引导的时间状语从句的省略，主句主语为 you，与 buy是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。从句补充完整后应为：When you are buying new clothes.故填 buying。9longer 解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据语境可知，质量较
29、好的衣服会持续更长的时间。much 后加比较级，所以填 longer。10On 解析：考查介词。on the other hand为固定搭配，意为“另一方面” 。故填On。注意首字母大写。、七选五4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose WeightAs one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and lose weight.

43、ther with连接的名词在句中作主语，谓语动词应与句子原来的主语 Learning保持一致，即应用第三人称单数，故改为 takes。第三处：thatwhich。考查定语从句。此外，我们经常帮助我们的父母做家务或者干农活，这使我们意识到他们每天工作得多努力。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的整个句子，故用 which。注意：that 不能引导非限制性定语从句。第四处：wethey。考查代词。根据语境可知，此处指代的是上文中的“our parents” ，故应用 they。第五处：在 active前加 an。考查冠词。同时，我们积极参加社会活动，比如志愿工作。take
44、an active part in为习惯用法，表示“积极参加” 。第六处：wentgo。考查时态。我们去街上收集垃圾或者去医院安慰生病的孩子们。全文的基本时态是一般现在时，故此处应用一般现在时。第七处：rubbishesrubbish。考查名词。rubbish 表示“垃圾” ，是不可数名词，没有复数形式，故改为 rubbish。第八处：orand。考查连词。由语境可知，此处表示并列的顺承关系，故用 and表示“和，与” 。or 表示选择关系，意为“或，或者” 。第九处：去掉 of。考查固定搭配。此处指使我们的家乡变得更加美丽。根据句中的“more”可知，此处修饰比较级，故应用 a lot。a lot of 表示“许多” ，修饰名词。第十处：greatlygreat。考查副词。在这些活动中，我们发现了极大的乐趣。此处修饰名词 pleasure，故应用形容词。11
