这是一篇记叙文。文章主要悼念了过世的微软创始人之一——PaulG.Allen，讲述了他和BillGates之间的创业经历，同时提到了BillGates对他的赞赏。1．died [考查时态。句意：2018年10月16日，微软两位联合创始人之一保罗·g·艾伦(PaulG.Allen)因癌症去世，享年65岁。根据语境OnOct.16,2018可知，应是一般过去时。故填died。]2．it [考查固定句式。句意：说到微软，我们首先想到的是该公司的另一位联合创始人比尔·盖茨。whenitcomesto...为固定句式，意为“当谈及……”。故填it。]3．However [考查副词。句意：然而，艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。分析可知，本句与前一句为转折关系，应用转折副词however。故填However。]4．creation [考查名词。句意：然而，艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。to为介词之后应用名词形式。故填creation。]5．better [考查形容词比较级。句意：他对科学方面的东西很满意，而盖茨更擅长商业。分析可知，本句中将Allen与Gates进行对比，前一句中的形容词“quieter”暗指比较含义，因此所填空应用比较级。故填better。]6．designed [考查非谓语。句意：微型计算机是设计用于家庭的小型计算机。分析可知，________(design)tobeusedinthehome应是之前名词smallcomputers的后置定语，动词design与其之间为被动关系，应用过去分词形式。故填designed。]7．What [考查名词性从句。句意：不过，他们缺少的是一个操作系统，而这正是微软的切入点。分析可知，________theylacked为主语从句，从句中动词lacked缺少宾语，应用引导词what。故填What。]8．when [考查定语从句。句意：微软的重大突破出现在1980年，当时微软开发了MSDOS操作系统。分析可知，________MicrosoftcreatedtheMSDOSoperatingsystem.LatercameWindows\n应是之前时间名词1980的定语从句，先行词在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when引导。故填when。]9．topraise [考查动词不定式。句意：艾伦去世后，比尔·盖茨发表声明赞扬了艾伦。分析可知，此空应是动词不定式表目的。故可填topraise。]10．eventually [考查副词。句意：甚至在高中时，在大多数人还不知道个人电脑是什么之前，保罗就预言芯片将变得超级强大，并最终催生出一个全新的产业。分析可知，副词修饰动词短语“giveriseto”，在句中作状语。故填eventually。]Ⅳ.应用文写作(2021·山东省实验中学高三一诊)假定你是李华。上周日你校邀请本市志愿援助武汉抗击新冠病毒的刘医生为全校师生做了一次演讲，大家深受感动和鼓舞。请你就本次活动给校园英语报写一篇报道。内容包括：1．活动时间和地点；2．活动内容；3．活动的意义。注意：词数80左右。参考词汇：新冠病毒COVID19________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【参考范文】LastSunday,ourschoolheldameaningfulactivityatourschoollecturehall.Mr.Liu,adoctorfromourlocalhospitalwhovolunteeredtoWuhanthisspringtofightagainstCOVID19,wasinvitedtodeliveraspeechforus.Alltheteachersandstudentsweredeeplymovedandinspiredbyhisheroicdeeds.Attheendofhisspeech,weshowedourrespectforMr.Liuwithapplause.Welearnedalotfromhimandmanystudentssaidthattheywantedtobeadoctorinthefuture.Ⅴ.概要写作阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。Gettingupearlyhasbeenregardedasagoodhabitsinceancienttimes.Manyyearsago,peoplethoughtthatifwewenttobedearlyandgetupearly,wewouldbeenergetic(充满活力的)thewholeday.So,gettingupearlyisofgreatimportancetousall.Infact,morningisthebesttimeofaday.Inthemorning,theairisthefreshestandpeopleareusuallyinthebestconditions(条件).Manyofusmayhavetheexperiencesthatwememorizesomethingsmorequicklyandaccuratelyinthemorningthananyothertimeoftheday.\nIfwedosomemorningexerciseoronlytakeashortwalkinthemorning,wecanbuildourbodiesandbecomemuchhealthier.Alsowewillhaveenoughtimetomakeaplanandgetreadyforourworkorstudyofthedayifwegetupearly.However,ifwegetuplate,wewillprobablyhavetodoeverythinginagreathurry.Letusremembergettingupearlyisagoodhabitandtryourbesttokeepit.Ifwesticktogettingupearlyeveryday,wewillcertainlybenefit(受益)alotfromit.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【参考范文】Gettingupearlyisagoodhabit.(要点1)Andweattachgreatimportancetogettingupearlybecausemorningisthemostvaluabletimeofaday,sowecanhavephysicaltrainingtokeephealthy.(要点2)Besides,gettingupearlycanletushaveenoughtimetoprogramandpreparetofinishdoingourworkorstudyoftheday.(要点3)Inaword,wewillbenefitalotfromgettingupearly.(要点4)
