(2020·山东省、海南省新高考模拟)

My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.

I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.

The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原)，we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.

As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.

That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲了作者班级做了一个花园并且被电视报道，作者感觉所有的辛苦工作都是值得的。

1．What seemed to be the TV director's initial reaction to the garden？  D 

A．They were excited.　 B．They were surprised.

C．They were worried.　　 D．They were uninterested.

解析：推理判断题。考查推断隐藏信息的能力。根据第二段最后两句话“The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.”可知，他们说有很多跟我们一样相似的故事。有很多学校都有花园，他们想知道我们的花园有什么特别之处。故可推知，一开始电视台对我们的花园不感兴趣。故D正确。

2．What is special about the garden？  C 

A．Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.

B．The grass grew faster than common grass.

C．The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.

D．Underground water was used for the plants.

解析：细节理解题。考查获取事实性信息的能力。根据第三段“We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them.”可知，我们去了大草原，采集了一些种子，种在了花园里。故C正确。

3．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph？  B 

A．We got blisters on our hands.

B．Our hard work was worthwhile.

C．The garden would be famous.

D．The project would be finished.

解析：词义猜测题。猜测词义题中需要承前指代，根据前句“All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it.”尽管做了很多工作，长了很多水泡，我们的工作是值得的。故B正确。

4．How did the author feel about the project？  C 

A．Annoyed. 　 B．Curious.

C．Proud. 　　 D．Regretful.

解析：推理判断题。考查理解作者意图、观点和态度的能力。本文讲了作者班级做了一个花园并且被电视报道，作者感觉所有的辛苦工作都是值得的，由此可见作者的态度是感到骄傲的。故C正确。

Ⅲ.短文改错

(2020·甘肃省天水一中第一次考试)

Recently I have taken an interest in cooking so I suggest that the school organizes a cooking-learning activity to teach students to prepare any delicious food. It can be a great fun and I bet there will be a lot communication going on among students. Besides, it's a good way to build up team spirit. The school can even held a competition to see whom can cook the most delicious food. More important, I think cook is a vital skill for people nowadays. What is known to all, eating self-cooked food is a much healthier and little costly way of life than eating in a restaurant.

答案：

Recently I have taken an interest in cooking so I suggest that the school  a cooking-learning activity to teach students to prepare  delicious food. It can be a great fun and I bet there will be a lot communication going on among students. Besides, it's a good way to build up team spirit. The school can even  a competition to see  can cook the most delicious food. More ， I think  is a vital skill for people nowadays.  is known to all, eating self-cooked food is a much healthier and  costly way of life than eating in a restaurant.

文章大意：这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了最近作者对烹饪产生了兴趣，所以作者建议学校组织一个烹饪学习活动，教学生准备一些美味的食物。

解析：

1．考查宾语从句中的虚拟语气。suggest表建议，后面的宾语从句使用should ＋ 动词原形，should可以被省略的虚拟语气，所以organizes改成organize。

2．考查不定代词。句意：最近我对烹饪产生了兴趣，所以我建议学校组织一个烹饪学习活动，教学生准备一些美味的食物。文中表示“一些美味的食物”，所以any改成some。

3．考查固定短语。句意：它会很有趣，我打赌学生之间会有很多交流。be great fun很有趣，fun是不可数名词，所以去掉great前的a。

4．考查固定短语。句意：它会很有趣，我打赌学生之间会有很多交流。修饰名词communication，用形容词短语，所以lot后加of。

5．考查情态动词。句意：学校甚至可以举办一场比赛，看谁能做出最美味的食物。情态动词后，用动词原形，所以held改成hold。

6．考查宾语从句。这里含有一个宾语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，所以whom改成who。

7．考查副词。句意：更重要的是，我认为烹饪是现在人们的一项重要技能。修饰整个句子，用副词，所以important改成importantly。

8．考查动名词。句意同上题。cooking在宾语从句中作主语，故用动名词形式。所以cook改为cooking。

9．考查固定用法。句意：众所周知，食用自己烹饪的食物是一种比在餐馆吃更健康和更便宜的生活方式。as is known to all众所周知，是as引导非限制定语从句的固定搭配，所以What改成As。

10．考查比较级。句意：众所周知，食用自己烹饪的食物是一种比在餐馆吃更健康和更便宜的生活方式。and连接并列的成分，and之前用的比较级，and之后也用比较级，所以little改成less。
