考查动词的时态。由句中的时间状语“sinceayoung8\nage(自从小时候以来)”可知，句子一般用现在完成时。2．its 考查代词。修饰名词一般用形容词，本句中表示“阅读的美”故用形容词性物主代词its修饰名词beauty，作定语。3．named 考查非谓语动词。name和句子谓语bought之间没有连词，故用非谓语动词，且name和其逻辑主语abook构成动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。4．patiently 考查词性转换。本句中应用副词patiently修饰动词explained。5．feelings 考查词性转换。根据and可知，此处与thoughts并列，故用名词形式，feeling在本句中意为“看法，意见”为可数名词，故填feelings。6．deepest 考查形容词的最高级。与“Amongallthebooks”和定冠词the呼应，此处用形容词的最高级形式，修饰名词impression。7．but 考查连词。根据语境可知，上下文表示逻辑上的转折关系，故用连词but。8．toovercome 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配managetodosth.意为“设法完成某事”，故填不定式。9．in 考查介词。固定搭配beabsorbedinsth.意为“专注于某事”，故用介词in。10．that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。所填词引导定语从句，从句修饰先行词thebenefits，关系词在从句中作宾语，故应填that/which。***完形填空。Iwaslookingthroughsomeoldphotoalbumstheotherday.Ihad__1__donethatmanytimesbeforebutIfeltasudden__2__toseethemagain.Ifoundmyself__3__somanybeautifulmemoriesfrommychildhood.TherewasmydearNanagivingmeathorough__4__whenIwasanewbornbaby.Therewasmeandmybrotherstandinginfrontoftheworld'sugliest__5__ourfavoriteChristmastree.TherewasmybeautifulMom__6__meonherlap.Thenthepicturesseemed__7__allofasuddenbecausemyeyeswerewet.Ijustcouldn't__8__thetears.“Whatisgoingon？”I__9__.Ihadn'tcriedthelasttime.Butwhatwas__10__now?IsoonsawthatitwasIwhochanged.Ihad__11__.Myspirithadwalkedalittlefurtherdownthe__12__oflove.Irealizedaslongastheycamewithawarmheart，weteyeswere__13__tobeashamedof.IsmiledandIfeltMomandNanasmiling__14__onmefromHeaven.LeoBuscagliasaid：“I'mnotafraidof__15__.Theycleanoutmyeyeballs.”Ithinktheycleanoutour__16__aswell.Theyhelpustowashawayourpain,fearandgrief(悲伤)．Theyhelpusto__17__ourloveandgoodness.Theyhelpustobecomewhoweare__18__tobe.Thenexttimeyoufeelyourtearsstarting，justletthem8\n__19__.Lifeisfullofsmilesandtears.Onlybyallowingthembothcanwe__20__live.1．A.neverB．everC．alreadyD．nearly2．A.appealB．sadnessC．fearD．urge3．A.shapingB．relivingC．escapingD．building4．A.bathB．speechC．hugD．survey5．A.andB．butC．orD．as6．A.spinningB．possessingC．holdingD．walking7．A.beautifulB．blankC．abnormalD．vague8．A.fightbackB．fightwithC．fightforD．fightagainst9．A.foundB．wonderedC．hesitatedD．discussed10．A.heartbreakingB．wrongC．differentD．disturbing11．A.grownB．misunderstoodC．insistedD．struggled12．A.feastB．pathC．expectationD．circle13．A.everythingB．somethingC．anythingD．nothing14．A.forwardB．upwardsC．downD．behind15．A.tearsB．failuresC．deathsD．illnesses16．A.competenceB．insideC．identificationD．development8\n17．A.lookthroughB．cleanoutC．learnfromD．reconnectto18．A.usedB．remindedC．forcedD．meant19．A.separateB．stayC．flowD．disappear20．A.trulyB．roughlyC．generallyD．tentatively【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。再次看老相册时，作者重温了童年的一些美好回忆，并流下了眼泪。作者从而感悟到生活中充满欢笑和眼泪，只有允许它们两者存在，我们才能真正地生活。【核心词汇】urgen．强烈的欲望；冲动v．催促，力劝；强烈要求Ihadasuddenurgetocallhim.我突然很想给他打电话。Weshouldconstantlyurgeourselvesontostudyhard.我们应该不断地鞭策自己努力学习。1．C 根据下文的“manytimesbefore”以及“Ihadn'tcriedthelasttime”可知，作者应该不止一次看这些老相册，故此处表示作者之前已经(already)多次看过这些老相册。2．D 此处表示作者突然有再次看老相册的冲动(urge)。appeal“恳求”；fear“害怕”。3．B 此处表示作者重温(reliving)了许多来自童年时期的美好回忆。shape“塑造”；escape“逃避”；build“建造”。4．A 根据下文的“whenIwasanewbornbaby”可知，此处表示作者还是个新生儿时，奶奶给她彻底洗澡，故选A项。5．B 空前的“theworld'sugliest”和空后的“ourfavorite”之间为转折关系，故用并列连词but。6．C 根据下文的“onherlap”可知，此处应表示“我漂亮的妈妈把我抱着放在她的腿上”。hold意为“抱着，托着”，符合语境。spin“快速旋转”；possess“拥有”；walk“遛”。7．D 上文提到了作者正在看老照片，根据下文的“becausemyeyeswerewet...thetears”可知作者流泪了，根据常识可知，此处表示这些老照片变得模糊(vague)了。blank“空白的”；abnormal“不正常的”。8．A 根据上文的“becausemyeyeswerewet”和下文的“Ihadn'tcriedthelasttime.But...”可知，作者这次看老照片的时候哭了，此处表示作者遏制不住眼泪。fightback“忍住，抑制住”，符合语境。fightwith“与……争辩”；fightfor“努力争取”；fight8\nagainst“对抗”。9．B 作者以前看老照片没有哭，而这次看老照片却哭了。所以作者想知道(wondered)发生了什么。find“发现，找到”；hesitate“犹豫，迟疑”；discuss“讨论”。10．C 根据下文的“IsoonsawthatitwasIwhochanged”可知，作者很快明白，是她自己和以前不一样了。故之前作者想知道的问题是“现在有什么是不同的呢”。故选C项。11．A 根据下文的“Myspirithadwalkedalittlefurther”可知，此处应表示作者的心灵已经在爱的道路(path)上走得更远了一点了，即作者已经成长(grown)了。12．B 参见上题解析。feast“宴会”；expectation“期望”；circle“圈子”。13．D 根据上文的“aslongastheycamewithawarmheart”以及下文的“Ismiled”可知，该句表示含泪的眼睛没有什么(nothing)可羞愧的，只要它们伴随着一颗温暖的心而来。14．C 根据下文的“onmefromHeaven”可知，此处表示作者感到妈妈和奶奶从天堂向下(down)冲着自己微笑。15．A 根据语境尤其是下文的“Theycleanoutmyeyeballs”可知，此处表示“眼泪清洗了我的眼球”，故选tears。16．B 根据下文的“Theyhelpustowashawayourpain，fearandgrief(悲伤)．Theyhelpusto...tobe”可知，此处表示眼泪不仅清洗了我们的眼球，也清洗了我们的内心(inside)。competence“能力”；identification“辨认”；development“发展”。17．D 第一段提到老照片让作者的美好回忆重现，故这里应该是表示“眼泪帮助我们重新找回我们的爱和善良”。reconnectto“重新连接”，在这里引申为“重新找回”。lookthrough“浏览”；cleanout“把……清洗干净”。18．D 此处表示眼泪可以帮助我们成为我们想成为的人。bemeanttodo“打算，想要”。19．C 根据上文提到的眼泪的好处可知，此处表示下次你感觉到眼泪开始流的时候，那么就让它们流下来吧。故选C项。20．A 生活中充满笑和泪，只有允许它们都存在，我们才能真正地(truly)生活。roughly“粗略地”；generally“大体上”；tentatively“试探性地”。***短文改错。TourismisboominginTibet.Morethan6.8millionChineseandforeigntouristsvisittheregioninthefirsthalfofthisyear.Tourismincomeduringthatperiodroseonto7billionyuan.MoretouristsareexpectedtotravelingaroundTibetinthesecondhalfofthisyear.TheregionishostingtheChinaTibetTourismorCulture8\nExpo,featuringseriesoffestivals.Currently,foreignersneedaspecialtravelpermissiontotourtheregioninadditionforaChinesevisa.Theyhavetowaitforthepermitpatient.Itischeerfulwhatthelocalauthoritieshavepromisedustoshortenthetimeofobtainingit.答案：TourismisboominginTibet.Morethan6.8millionChineseandforeigntouriststheregioninthefirsthalfofthisyear.Tourismincomeduringthatperiodroseto7billionyuan.MoretouristsareexpectedtoaroundTibetinthesecondhalfofthisyear.TheregionishostingtheChinaTibetTourismCultureExpo,featuringseriesoffestivals.Currently,foreignersneedaspecialtraveltotourtheregioninadditionaChinesevisa.Theyhavetowaitforthepermit.Itischeerfulthelocalauthoritieshavepromisedtoshortenthetimeofobtainingit.难项分析：第一处：visit→visited 考查动词的时态。根据本句中的时间状语“inthefirsthalfofthisyear”及下一句可知，此处叙述的是过去的事情，因此应用一般过去时。故将visit改为visited。第五处：series前加a 考查冠词。aseriesof为固定短语，意为“一系列”。故在series前加a。第九处：what→that 考查主语从句的连接词。本句中，It作形式主语，其后的从句为真正的主语；主语从句结构完整，不缺成分，应用that引导。故将what改为that。***8
