Born with severe hearing loss, Li has found her way to communicate with the world—through painting.
Before learning to paint, Li always felt lonely in a silent world. She knew she was different from her peers because she could not hear. But a painting class in primary school opened for her a door to creativity and a way of expression.
“I still remember my first mural, which was to help a kindergarten to design and paint its wall,” Li says. “The project made me realize how happy I was immersing myself into painting.”
To pursue her passion for art, Li went to study advertising design at a vocational and technical school. “Painting brushes can help me create a colorful world in my imagination, telling my thoughts on paper, instead of through voices,” Li said.
Graduating from college in 2005, Li got a job as a typist at a public institute. But she could not communicate well with her other colleagues. Her husband understood how she felt because he lost his hearing due to medication when he was 1 year old. He is also an art lover. In March 2016, under her husband’s suggestion, Li quit her job and joined her husband’s company, which specializes in 3D wall and ground paintings.
Wall painting is a demanding job because it requires people to work outdoors, whether in extremely cold or hot weather. As all the people are hearing-impaired in their company, communication with clients is the most common challenge that the team faces.
Now in many parks and scenic spots, the couple have created large-scale murals and interactive pavement painting that make onlookers a part of the drawings.
“My husband and I want to introduce painting to more people like us and help them find their own way to make a living,” Li says. Now Li has an apprentice who just graduated from college. While coaching the newcomer, Li is exploring her own style and hopes to become an illustrator and open her own exhibition one day.
“They’re energetic young people with a passion to create new things, and you can feel that in their paintings,” one of their clients said. “They’re also a professional, dedicated team, often working late into the night on the designs for us.”
Li hopes that their stories can encourage more hearing-impaired people to build their own careers and achieve their goals, regardless of how tough it may be.
4. According to the passage, the painting class in primary school ________.
A. started Li’s first advertising design
B. helped Li find a new way to express herself
C. made Li learn about 3D wall and ground paintings
D. turned Li’s dream of opening an exhibition into reality
5. What can we know from this passage?
A. Li can communicate with her clients easily.
B. Li lost her hearing when she was I year old.
C. Li and her husband have created many wonderful paintings.
D. Li and her husband hope to become illustrators in the future.
6. To help people with hearing loss, what does Li intend to do?
A. Donate money to them. B. Design painting gifts for them.
C. Inspire them to create their own careers. D. Support them to complete college education.
7. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. One is never too old to learn. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Accepting what you have makes you happy. D. Nothing is impossible to the man who will try.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Li天生听力严重受损,但她通过绘画找到了与世界交流的方式,她希望她的故事能鼓励那些与她一样听力受损的人建立自己的事业,实现自己的梦想。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But a painting class in primary school opened for her a door to creativity and a way of expression.(但小学的绘画课为她打开了一扇通往创造力和表达方式的大门。)”可知,小学的绘画课为她打开了创造力与表达自己的大门。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中的“Now in many parks and scenic spots, the couple have created large-scale murals and interactive pavement painting that make onlookers a part of the drawings.(现在,在很多公园和景区,这对夫妇创作了大型壁画和互动路面绘画,让旁观者成为绘画的一部分。)”可知,在许多公园和景点都能见到Li与她丈夫的作品,由此可知,她与她丈夫创作了许多美好的绘画。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Li hopes that their stories can encourage more hearing-impaired people to build their own careers and achieve their goals, regardless of how tough it may be.(Li希望他们的故事可以鼓励更多的听障人士建立自己的事业并实现自己的目标,无论多么艰难。)”可知,Li希望用自己的故事激励那些跟她一样听力受损的人无论有多难,要建立自己的事业,实现自己的梦想。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“Born with severe hearing loss, Li has found her way to communicate with the world—through painting.(天生患有严重的听力损失,李找到了与世界交流的方式——通过绘画。)”可知,Li虽听力受损,但她仍找到了与世界沟通的方式——绘画,根据第四段中的“To pursue her passion for art, Li went to study advertising design at a vocational and technical school.(为了追求自己对艺术的热情,李去一所职业技术学校学习广告设计。)”可知,她为追求自己对艺术热爱,她上大学学习广告设计,并顺利毕业,找到一份工作,但她不满意自己的工作状况,又辞职与她丈夫从事3D墙面和地面绘画,并在各公园和旅游景点创作许多的艺术作品,由此可知,本文主要告诉我们的是,只要肯努力,没有什么不可能。故选D项。
C
When special occasions such as birthdays or other big holiday events come around, parents often look for that special toy for their children. But there is a growing understanding that gifts of time and bonding, such as vacations and other experiences, make better and more lasting gifts for children.
Experts agree that gifting children with memorable trips and fun experiences is better for their body and mind, and has corresponding positive impacts on the rest of the family!
In a 2017 study that surveyed about 500 women between 18 and 93 years old Dr. Oravecz, a human development and family studies professor at Pennsylvania State University, asked, “Most people feel loved when...” The study showed that the most popular answers had nothing to do with any material item. Dr. Oravecz said, “Our research found that micro-moments of positivity, like a kind word, a hug with a child or a sympathetic expression, make people feel most loved.”
Clinical psychologist Oliver James agrees. He stated that as opposed to toys, details from a trip are more likely to “stick with them for long after the vacation ends.” When families interact in a stress-free environment, this creates warm, generous feelings towards one another, which are likely to be remembered with fondness. Vacations create strong emotional responses that don’t often come with material possessions.
In addition, British child psychologist Dr. Margot Sunderland believes that vacations make children smarter. “What is less widely known is that vacations can also advance brain development in children. This is because on a family vacation, you are exercising two genetically ingrained systems deep in the brain’s limbic (边缘的) area, which can all too easily be ‘unexercised’ in the home.” Citing the work of neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, Dr. Sunderland said, “These are the PLAY system and the SEEKING system.” “The brain’s PLAY system is exercised every time you bury your child’s feet in the sand or take them for a ride on your back. The SEEKING system is exercised each time you go exploring together: the beach, a cave, a hidden village...” She continued, “So when you take your child on a vacation, you are supporting their explorative urge (SEEKING system)—a vital resource for living life well, and their capacity to play (PLAY system). In adulthood, this translates into the ability to play with ideas—essential, for example, to the successful entrepreneur(企业家).”
In a busy household, perhaps the fun of having the latest toy may not last, but the space it occupies in the house could be there and gather dust. So for the next round of gift-giving with the children, consider an experiential gift instead. The return is definitely priceless.
8. From Dr. Oravecz’s study, we know that ________.
A. hearing kind words can make a person feel most loved
B. a special toy for a birthday is more lasting for children
C. women at the age of 18 and 93 years old feel more loved
D. the feeling of being loved is closely related to material gifts
9. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The capacity to play can translate into the ability to seek.
B. The SEEKING system can develop when adventuring in the wild.
C. PLAY and SEEKING systems are more easily exercised at home.
D. Burying your child’s feet in the sand is exercising the SEEKING system.
10. According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.
A. material gifts are better for a child’s body and mind
B. children spending vacations with their parents are more generous
C. trips with family can form better emotional interactions than material gifts
D. vacations with employees are a waste of time for a successful entrepreneur
11 What would be the best title for the text?
A. Vacations Make Children Smarter
B. Vacations Make Better Gifts
C. Trips are priceless
D. Memorable Trips and Fun Experiences
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了送孩子们的礼物不一定是玩具,而是花费时间和亲子关系的更持久的礼物,如旅行和体验活动。专家认为,这样的经历更有益于孩子的身心,对整个家庭也有积极的影响。因此,如果面对下一次与孩子的礼物赠送,不妨考虑提供一个经验式的礼物,那么孩子和家人都将受益。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Dr. Oravecz said, “Our research found that micro-moments of positivity, like a kind word, a hug with a child or a sympathetic expression, make people feel most loved.” (Oravecz博士说:“我们的研究发现,积极的微时刻,比如一句好话,给孩子的一个拥抱,或者一个同情的表达,会让人感到最被爱。”)”可知,从Oravecz博士的研究中,我们知道听到善意的话语会让人感到最被爱。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“The SEEKING system is exercised each time you go exploring together: the beach, a cave, a hidden village...” She continued, “So when you take your child on a vacation, you are supporting their explorative urge (SEEKING system)—a vital resource for living life well, and their capacity to play (PLAY system).”(每次你们一起去探索时,都会练习寻找系统:海滩,洞穴,隐藏的村庄……”她继续说:“所以当你带孩子去度假时,你是在支持他们的探索冲动——这是过上好生活的重要资源,也是他们的游戏能力。)”可知,在野外探险时,SEEKING系统可以得到训练,故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a busy household, perhaps the fun of having the latest toy may not last, but the space it occupies in the house could be there and gather dust. So for the next round of gift-giving with the children, consider an experiential gift instead. The return is definitely priceless.(在一个忙碌的家庭中,也许拥有最新玩具的乐趣可能不会持续下去,但它在房子里占据的空间可能会在那里并积聚灰尘。因此,对于与孩子们的下一轮送礼,请考虑体验式礼物。回报绝对是无价的。)”可推知,作者认为和家人一起旅行,这种体验式的礼物,可以形成比物质礼物更好的情感互动。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When special occasions such as birthdays or other big holiday events come around, parents often look for that special toy for their children. But there is a growing understanding that gifts of time and bonding, such as vacations and other experiences, make better and more lasting gifts for children.(当生日或其他重大节日活动等特殊场合到来时,父母通常会为孩子寻找这种特殊的玩具。但人们越来越认识到,时间和纽带的礼物,如假期和其他经历,对孩子来说是更好、更持久的礼物。)”可知,本文主要讲述了在重大节日时,给孩子时间和感情纽带的礼物,对孩字来说是更好、更持久的礼物,B项“假期是更好的礼物”适合做文章标题。故选B项。
D
Take a look at that tree in the local park. What might it be feeling? Could it be thinking? Experiments are exploring the idea of plant cognition, even going so far as to suggest they possess some form of consciousness.
As wild as it sounds, it isn’t a new idea. The field of “plant neurobiology (神经生物学)” began in 2006, aimed at understanding how plants process information from their environment.
It is now clear that plants are capable of complex communication and can sense their surroundings, which were originally dismissed. But advocates of plant consciousness take things further and draw parallels between the electrical signaling that can be found from root to stem and that present in the nervous system of animals. They claim to show that plants are capable of intentionally choosing to perform certain behaviors, of learning and perhaps even having personalities. If plants are experiencing a conscious inner world, they argue, it becomes vital that we find ways to test and understand it.
Extending the concept of cognition to plants would mean a significant shift in our view of the uniqueness of humanity, not to mention how we treat our botanical friends, so the bar of acceptance is high. Researchers rising to the challenge are hoping to explore plants with tools usually reserved for the human brain.
The research can appear persuasive, but it is in its early stage and suffers from repeated failure. Critics say the field is a high guess and that the behaviour can be explained through inborn response.
Whether we decide that plants have cognition may come down to our ability to describe consciousness itself-something we are far from doing. But rather than dismiss the idea, we should welcome the chance to think up new ways to test our understanding of consciousness. It might just improve our grasp of the human mind. At the very least, our trees and plants should benefit from the extra attention—consciously or not.
12. What do supporters of plant consciousness believe?
A. Plants can only perform native reaction.
B. Plants can perceive their surroundings and adapt to them.
C. Plants possess the same level of consciousness as humans.
D. Plants can communicate complicatedly and choose actions deliberately.
13. What is the main challenge in accepting the idea of plant consciousness?
A. The need to develop tools to test plant cognition.
B. The dramatic change in our view of the distinctiveness of humanity.
C. The lack of evidence in the field of plant neurobiology.
D. The inability to describe consciousness itself.
14. What does the underlined word “dismissed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. disliked B. discussed
C. rejected D. confirmed
15. What is the potential benefit of studying plant consciousness?
A. Enhancing our understanding of the human brain.
B. Developing new ways to test plant behaviors.
C. Promoting our relationship with plants.
D. Proving the existence of plant cognition.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了植物意识和认知的可能性,介绍了植物神经生物学领域的发展和研究进展。尽管这个领域仍处于早期阶段,但研究者试图用人脑通常使用的工具来探索植物。虽然是否认为植物有认知能力可能取决于我们对意识本身的理解能力,但我们应该欢迎这种思考意识的机会,这可能会提高我们对人类思维的理解。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“It is now clear that plants are capable of complex communication and can sense their surroundings, which were originally dismissed. But advocates of plant consciousness take things further and draw parallels between the electrical signaling that can be found from root to stem and that present in the nervous system of animals. They claim to show that plants are capable of intentionally choosing to perform certain behaviors, of learning and perhaps even having personalities. (现在很明显,植物能够进行复杂的交流,并且可以感知周围的环境,这最初被忽视了。但是植物意识的倡导者更进一步,将可以从根到茎发现的电信号与存在于动物神经系统中的电信号相提并论。他们声称表明植物能够有意识地选择执行某些行为,学习甚至可能具有个性。)”可知,植物意识的支持者认为植物可以进行复杂的交流,并有意识地选择行动。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Whether we decide that plants have cognition may come down to our ability to describe consciousness itself-something we are far from doing. (我们是否决定植物有认知可能归结为我们描述意识本身的能力——我们远未做到。)”可知接受植物意识的主要挑战是我们不能描述意识本身。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“As wild as it sounds, it isn’t a new idea.(虽然听起来很疯狂,但这并不是一个新想法。)”和第三段中“It is now clear that plants are capable of complex communication and can sense their surroundings, which were originally dismissed. But advocates of plant consciousness take things further and draw parallels between the electrical signaling that can be found from root to stem and that present in the nervous system of animals. (现在很明显,植物能够进行复杂的交流,并且可以感知周围的环境,这最初被……了。但是植物意识的倡导者更进一步,将可以从根到茎发现的电信号与存在于动物神经系统中的电信号相提并论。但是植物意识的拥护者们更进一步,把从根到茎的电信号与存在于动物神经系统中的电信号相提并论。)”和But可知,前后是转折关系,植物能够进行复杂的交流并不是一个新想法,只是最初人们没有重视这个问题,但是现在人们开始进行进一步研究,由此可推知,植物能够进行复杂的交流,并且可以感知周围的环境,这最初被忽视了,划线词的意思是“忽视,拒绝”,故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“It might just improve our grasp of the human mind. (它可能只是改善我们对人类思维的掌握。)”可知,研究植物意识潜在的好处是可以提高我们对人类大脑的认识,故选A项。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分, 满分 10 分)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为选项
Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend. ____16____ It is about being intentional with everything you do — your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it is worthwhile. Here are some ways you can achieve this goal.
●Be conscious about your time.
Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. ____17____ If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later. The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate (分配) it for positive activities.
●____18____
You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.
●Learn to be grateful.
Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be grateful for. Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. ____19____
●Believe in yourself.
It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones. ____20____ Spending time alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice. Care for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line.
Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and master it. You will absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run.
A. Know yourself better.
B. Accept the person you are.
C. Life can be a lot better with the right decisions.
D. It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.
E. Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.
F. The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.
G. The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何学会有意识地生活。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend.(有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚)”中“not just”可知,有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚,因此下文会更一进定义有意识的生活,D“It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.(它是一种健康的选择,能让你快乐)”提出有意识的生活还能带来快乐,与上文构成递进关系,句中代词it指代上文中“Conscious (有意识的) living”。故选D项。
【17题详解】
上文“Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again.(时间是最宝贵的东西,因为没有办法让一个瞬间重来)”分析了时间宝贵的原因,F项“The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.(你如何利用时间,决定了你的人生轨迹)”承接上文,说明利用时间对人生的重意义,照应本段主题“Be conscious about your time.(要意识到你的时间)”,上下文语意连贯一致。故选F项。
【18题详解】
设空处是本段标题,根据下文“You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.(除非你了解自己的需求和意图,否则你无法实现这些目标。这说起来容易做起来难,因为大多数人都没有努力去了解自己。花点时间思考并了解自己的优点和缺点。一旦你更了解自己,你就可以制定一个计划,让自己变得更有耐心、诚实和宽容)”可知,本段主要讲要去了解自己,所以A项“Know yourself better.(更好地了解自己)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
【19题详解】
上文“Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. (写感恩日记是一个计算你所拥有的幸福的良好开端)”提出用写日记的方式来学会感恩,E项“Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.(把它作为一种日常习惯,你会发现其中的不同)”承接上文,建议让写感恩日记变成一种习惯,上下文语意连贯;句中it指代上文中“Writing a gratitude journal”。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据小标题“Believe in yourself.(相信自己)”可知,本段主要讲相信自己,即建立自信,G项“The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.(建立自信的最好方法是反思自己的想法)”提出方法,上下语意连贯。故选G项。
第三部分英语知识运用

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了青霉素被发现的经过。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:青霉素被广泛认为是医学史上最重要的发现之一,但1928年9月亚历山大·弗菜明发现青霉素时,他并不是在寻找它。be considered to do sth.为固定用法,意为“被认为做某事”,空处需填动词不定式。故填to be。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:青霉素被广泛认为是医学史上最重要的发现之一,但1928年9月亚历山大·弗菜明发现青霉素时,他并不是在寻找它。表示“在几月份”应用介词in。故填in。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:弗莱明是一位来自苏格兰的科学家,他在假期结束后回到实验室,在他的一个细菌皿中发现了一些霉菌。scientist为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且scientist发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:弗莱明是一位来自苏格兰的科学家,他在假期结束后回到实验室,在他的一个细菌皿中发现了一些霉菌。one of后面需加名词复数形式。故填plates。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他发现霉菌周围的细菌都死了。分析句子结构可知,that引导的宾语从句中已有谓语动词were,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词the bacteria,the bacteria和surround为逻辑上的主谓关系,需用现在分词形式。故填surrounding。
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意:结果表明,霉菌产生的某种东西杀死了细菌。他完全知道这对治疗伤口非常有用。根据句意及空后动词aware可知,空处应为副词,作状语,表示“完全,整个”,故填wholly。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意:结果表明,霉菌产生的某种东西杀死了细菌。他完全知道这对治疗伤口非常有用。根据句意可知空处表示“有用的”结合提示词空处应为形容词形式,故填useful。
【48题详解】
考查代词。句意:10多年来,弗莱明一直在研究青霉素,并试图将其变成一种有效的药物。根据句意及句子结构可知,空处指代的是青霉素,可用代词it代替,故填it。
【49题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最后,他的工作引起了其他一些有能力做到这一点的科学家的注意。空处引导限定性定语从句,先行词scientists,指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,需用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
【50题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:自20世纪40年代开始大规模生产以来,青霉素已经拯救了数百万人的生命。根据“Since”可知,主句使用现在完成时,主语为penicillin,助动词用has。故填has saved。

Hello, everyone. It's nice to speak about that we can do for our school, and I think small actions can make big difference. The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautifully. Every one of them may plant a tree in the school or to organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. We can also form a good habit of putting rubbishes into trashcans. Never forget to turn off the lights and close the doors. We should not leave the tap water run or waste any materials in the laboratory class. In that case, I believe we'll turn our school in a better place to study and live in. How I wish we can enjoy a better school life!
Thank you for listening!
【答案】that→what
make后加a
beautifully→beautiful
them→us
去掉organize前的to
rubbishes→rubbish
and→or
run→running
in→into
can→could
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要为作者对如何创造一个更好的校园而提出自己的观点。
【详解】第一处:考查连接词。句意:很高兴能谈谈我们能为学校做些什么,我认为小的行动也能带来大的不同。根据分析about后面为宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,表示“做些什么”, 应使用what引导,而that为从属连词,不充当成分无实意。故that改为what。
第二处:考查固定短语。句意:很高兴能谈谈我们能为学校做些什么,我认为小的行动也能带来大的不同。固定短语make a big difference表示“对……有很大的影响,对……很重要”。故make后加a。
第三处:考查形容词。句意:我们能做的第一件事是使我们的校园更美丽。此处用形容词作宾语补足语,make our campus more beautiful意思是“让我们的校园更美丽”。故beautifully改为beautiful。
第四处:考查代词。句意:我们每个人都可以在学校种一棵树或组织一次彻底的校园大扫除。根据上一句可知是“我们”,再根据句意可知,这句话所要表达的意思是“我们每个人可以在学校里种植一棵树”。故them改为us。
第五处:考查动词形式。句意:我们每个人都可以在学校种一棵树或组织一次彻底的校园大扫除。根据上文选择连词or可知此处承前省略了情态动词may,因此to多余。故去掉organize前的to。
第六处:考查名词。句意:我们也可以养成把垃圾放入垃圾桶的好习惯。名词rubbish为不可数名词,没有复数形式。故rubbishes改为rubbish。
第七处:考查连词。句意:永远不要忘记关灯或关门。根据本句句意及逻辑关系可知,turn off the lights和close the doors为选择关系应用or。故and改为or。
第八处:考查非谓语动词。句意:我们不应该让自来水一直开着,也不应该浪费实验课上的任何材料。此处考查leave+宾语+宾语补足语,由于the tap water与run为主动关系,因此用现在分词running,leave the tap water running意思是“让自来水一直流着”。故run改为running。
第九处:考查介词。句意:如果那样的话,我相信我们会把我们的学校变成一个更好的学习和生活的地方。固定短语turn sth. into“将……变成”,故in改为into。
第十处:考查情态动词。句意:我多么希望我们能享受一个更好的学校生活! wish 后接宾语从句时,从句谓语通常要用虚拟语气:若表示与将来事实相反,用could / would+ / might+动词原形。故can改为could。
【点睛】I wish 后从句用虚拟语气的三种形式
1. 表示与现在事实相反的愿望,用过去时:
I wish I were a teacher. 我要是一位老师就好了。
I wish I remembered her address. 我要是记得她的地址就好了。
2. 表示与过去事实相反的愿望,用过去完成时:
How I wish I had seen her off at the station,but I was too busy. 我要是去车站送过她就好了,但我太忙了。
3. 表示与将来事实相反的愿望,用could / would+ / might+动词原形:
I wish he would come at once. 我真希望他马上来。
类似地,以下结构也与wish情况类似(从句分三种情况):
(1) If only(但愿):用法与含义均与I wish相似,以上各例中的I wish均可用If only代之,含义大致相同。
(2) as if / though (好像):
She loves the child as if he were her own. 她疼爱这孩子,就像是她自己的孩子一样。(与现在事实相反)
He talks as if he had been there many times. 他说起话来好像是去过那儿多次似的。(与过去事实相反)
He speaks as if he would die soon. 听他说话那语气好像不久就要死似的。(与将来事实相反)
如第10小题,句意:我多么希望我们能享受一个更好的学校生活! wish 后接宾语从句时,从句谓语通常要用虚拟语气:若表示与将来事实相反,用could / would+ / might+动词原形。故can改为could。
