16、our answers are grammatically correct.(a)are you a bookworm?do you love to read? your teachers probably tell you how important reading is all the time. and guess what? theyre right! reading helps you in many ways beyond just (25)_(be) able to read and get good grades in tests. being an eager reader

17、helps you become a good speller and writer. in fact, the more you read, the better youll do in all your subjects.do you have friends who always have books in their hands? we bet they are caught (26)_ (read) almost all the time. sometimes those people who love reading and even collecting books are ca

18、lled bookworms. is it really (27)_ they look like earthworms? no! so where did that nickname come from?the term “bookworm” (28)_ (use) since the 1500s. way back then, libraries did not have the modern air conditioning systems (29)_(control) the environment (30) _ (surround) the books. as a result, s

19、ome old libraries became musty and attracted various pests, some of which then took the form of insects and worms loving to eat paper and stay inside of books, (31)_ they would spend their entire lives. it was just natural to transfer the “bookworm” idea to humans who loved to consume books as much

20、as these pests did.so if you see a trip to the library (32)_ an adventure and cant wait to read a new book, youre probably a bookworm. and thats ok! you are not alone and there are millions and even billions of us in the world.keys: 25. being 26.reading 27.because 28.has been used 29.to control 30.s

21、urrounding 31.where 32.asanalyses:本篇文章讲述了“书虫”本身的含义以及之后指代书籍爱好者的由来。25. being本题目给出词汇be,所以本题目是词类变化的考察点，高考中短文填空词类变化出现动词，一般首先要判断该空是填谓语还是非谓语，由于该句是一个单句，只有一个谓语动词，又没有出现任何连接词或者省略连接词的情况，所以be在此空中是考查非谓语，由于空前是介词beyond，故后面使用be动词的-ing形式。26. reading 本题也是给出动词，进行动词变化。由于句子中原本有bet, are caught 两个谓语结构，而其中bet之后的内容是其宾语从句，并且从

22、句含义及成分完整，所以该空中也应该填非谓语结构，read和其前面相关的逻辑主语they是主动关系，并且他们被抓到正在读书，故使用reading。27. because 本题目没有所给词，所以考查介词，连词，情态动词等封闭词汇，我们发现句子有一个特殊结构开始，it is，遇到此类结构要小心，考查是否是强调句型，若是则为that；然而该句并非强调句型；再次我们发现句子有is, look两个谓语，进而应该有一个连接从句的连接词，我们发现从句不缺成分，所以使用副词性引导词，根据上下文含义，此句是在表示原因，故为because。28. has been used 该句给出动词use,并且本句没有其他谓语

23、，所以该空填谓语动词形式，若填谓语动词，则要考虑时态和主被动，看到since想到完成时，根据上下文，描述该词从过去到现在都在使用，所以确定为现在完成时，此外主语bookworm和use明显是被动关系，所以是该答案。29. to control 该句设有29,30两个空，所以要将句子看完整，两空都是考查给出动词的变形问题。分析句子，该句只有一个谓语，所以29,30两空都应该填非谓语成分。29题根据上下文，讲述是“系统去控制”，非谓语作为表示功能和目的的含义，跟系统呈现主动关系，所以使用to control。30. surrounding 该空同样也是非谓语考点，surround在该句中，逻辑主语

24、是前面的the environment两者是主动关系，并且表示一种长期的状态，并非含有将要的意思，故用surrounding。有些学生误以为surrounding考查名词含义，在后面加复数结构，此类错误是该空的功能没有判断清楚。31. where该句的句子较长，很多学生遇到长难句分析就无从下手了，还是找句子的谓语个数和连接词个数，其中谓语有became, took, would spend三个，连接词只有some of which一个，也并未发现省略的连接词，所以该空应该是填连接词，根据句子含义，后文“它们将会度过一生”是在前文“书”中，故为非限定性定语从句，修饰books表示地点，用wher

25、e。32. as 该空未给词，根据空后的内容只有一个名词，故该空应该以介词为突破口，根据含义，该句理解为see sth as把看做，故用as介词词性，表示“作为”，类似短语regard.as.。(b)the sunken cityegypt is famous for its giant pyramids rising in the desert, but some of the nations treasures from the past are hidden underwater. it is on the ocean floor near egypts northern coast (

26、33) _ a long-lost city of more than 2,700 years old lies. now researchers are bringing its remains to the surface to share the sunken civilization with the world.clues to the pastsome ancient texts describes a city called heracleion, (34)_ was located at the mouth of the nile river and disappeared b

27、eneath the waves 1,200 years ago. but for centuries, no one knew for sure if such (35)_ unbelievable city ever really existed. then in 2000, scientist frank goddio and his team discovered the ruins of the city. since then, to uncover the city, they have been busy removing layers of sand, which had k

28、ept many of its treasure well (36)_(preserve). theyve uncovered gold coins, jewelry, giant statues, ships and a sign. these items provide clues to help find out (37)_ life was like in heracleion.secret of the deepbut so far, the sinking of this city remains a mystery. goddio isnt sure how the city s

29、ank. he thinks that earthquakes or tidal waves (38)_ have caused it to fall into the sea. “stories from long ago tell of other cities in this area disappearing because of either or (39)_ of those things,” explains goddio.with many of heracleions treasures still buried under the sea, it may be many y

30、ears before all its secrets (40)_(reveal). “weve barely scratched the surface with this city.” another scientist robinson says. keys: 33.that 34.which 35.an 36.preserved 37.what 38.might 39.both 40.are revealedanalyses:该篇文章讲述了埃及背部沿海地区的失落的城市heracleion(希拉克莱奥)，沉睡在水下数百年，以及一些科学家对于其沉入水中的猜测。33. that该句未给词，所

31、以在介词，连接词，情态动词等封闭词汇选择。首先句子是it is开头，考查该句是否是强调句，考查过后发现该句是强调句，故it is.that。34. which同样是未给出词填空，并且该句中有两个部分的谓语动词describes, was located and disappeared(p.s.如果在一句话中并列连词连接的两个谓语我们一般将其记为一个谓语个数，因为本身and作为连词可以连接多个谓语动词)，所以该句缺少连接两个卫浴的引导词，根据从句特点和上下文，该从句是修饰前文这个地名的非限制性定语从句，缺主语，故用which。35. an该空在such之后，一般such之后填名词，而空后有一个名

32、词中心词city，并且是单数，故such+单数名词，需要用不定冠词，根据语音发音规律，用an。36. preserved该空给出动词，需要判断谓语还是非谓语，找出该句中谓语have been, had kept两个，有一个连接词which，故不缺谓语，则该空填非谓语，由于和treasure和preserve关系成被动关系，故用过去分词preserved。37. what该空未给词，句子中谓语动词有provide, was两个，故缺乏一个连接词，那么根据从句位置分析判断为名词性从句，作为to find out的宾语，此外，从句缺宾语，故用代词性连接词，根据句子意思为what life was l

33、ike in heracleion。38. might 未给词，谓语动词个数和连接词个数匹配，而空后面是have caused原形，故该空用情态动词，表示对过去发生的事一种不确定，可能的推测一般用might have done，表示“或许”；有些学生用到了may have done，may have done亦可以用于推测，含义是“或许已经，可能已经”但是确定性强于might have done，因为是要强调对过去事情的推测，故might have done更好一些，类似我们常用couldnt have done表推测“过去一定没有”，可以有cant have done但却很少用。39. bo

34、th该空对于很多学生，很难找到突破口，联系上下文，or这个连接词连接的是并列结构，or左边是either，右边设空，故两侧应该是平行结构，空内也应该是代词（因为不能填名词），根据上文讨论引发这种现象原因有地震和潮水两类，所以这里可以理解为是其中一种又或者两方面原因都有，故both；tell of短语，表示讲述。40. are revealed给出reveal动词，考虑谓语还是非谓语，由于句子只有一个谓语may be，还有一个连接词before，所以该空应该填谓语结构来符合谓语和连接词个数，从句主语是all its secrets和reveal应该是被动，并且根据上下文讲述的是未来要发生的事情，

35、从句可以使用一般现在时表示将来含义，所以一般现在时被动语态，故are revealed，千万注意粗心的学生会有可能出现be revealed结构。section bdirections: complete the following passage by using the words in the boxeach word can only be used once. note that there is one word more than you needa. explore b. extensive c. regularly d. filled e. exercisef. ancien
