“FamilyEducation”.YoushouldbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow:1.

父母是孩子最好的老師；2.

父母的言行影響孩子；

參考答案

1.Blaunch為“發(fā)射”講；其余為干擾項。

2.B考查反義疑問句。原句應(yīng)是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反義疑問句的規(guī)則是陳述部分是肯定式，疑問部分應(yīng)是否定式。Wouldthink表示推測，疑問部分也應(yīng)選擇would。選項B是正確的?！揪渥哟笠狻磕汶y道還認為他已經(jīng)忘掉了，是嗎?

3.D本題考查時態(tài)。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：當你寫信回家的時候，請代我向你的妻子問好。在時間狀語從句中用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時。

4.D

5.C解析：句子的前半部分是主語從句，主語從句中的謂語動詞時態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)句意而定。

6.D解析：forgetdoingsth．忘了已做過某事。注意區(qū)別forgettodosth。忘了而沒有做某事。

7.B解析：本題考查固定搭配。havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困難”。句意為：有時孩子們在分清故事和現(xiàn)實方面會有困難，相信故事中的事確實存在。

8.A

9.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意為“特別地”。

10.A解析：shape意為“(女人的)姿態(tài)，身段”；form意為“形狀，形態(tài)”；appearance意為“外表，樣子”；body意為“身體”。由題意知應(yīng)選A。

11.D

12.C解析：副詞so置于句首，句子應(yīng)該用倒裝語序，某人受傷用sb.beinjured來表示，故答案為C。

13.A

14.B解析：takemeasures意思為“采取措施”，本句應(yīng)用被動語態(tài)。

15.B解析：本題考查固定搭配的用法。當否定詞位于句前時，得出結(jié)論應(yīng)用reach/achievein/arriveatconclusion，故選B。

16.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。給她臉上澆些水，或許她會醒過來。本題考查詞組辨析。comeround：過訪，繞道而來，蘇醒過來；comeback：回來，恢復(fù)；comeagain：再說一遍，重復(fù)一遍；comeout：出來，傳出。

17.D解析：本題測試形容詞辨析。四個選項的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個細節(jié)來描述，而我卻認為它是這個計劃中最重要的部分。

18.A解析：反問疑問句的陳述部分是肯定式時，疑問部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反問疑問句，疑問部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以選項A是正確的。

19.D

20.C
