50.Such本文为记叙文。主要讲述了作者学习英语的经历。作者开始学高级英语时感觉很难。后来的在英语老师的帮助下，认识到英语的重要性，开始多读多参加课外活动，英语水平有了很大的提高。【41题详解】考查谓语动词的时态。句意：我现在是班上的好学生。但你不知道当我刚开始学高级英语的时候，我觉得很难学。分析语境可知，本句中的讲述的是刚开始时，是过去，故用started【42题详解】考查形容词作宾补。分析句子可知，本句中的动词differ在句中作it的宾语补足语，根据前面的difficult可知，本空要填形容词，故用different。【43题详解】考查冠词。用the特指上文提到的那位老师。故填the。【44题详解】考查定语从句。分析句子shealwaystriedtobetheone

____4____classesweremadeactiveandlivelywithsomestoriesandexamples可知，本句是定语从句。whose指代先行词theone，在定语从句中放在classes前面做定语。句意：因为她总是试图通过一些故事和例子来活跃她的课堂。表示人的，物的，要用“whose”，故填whose。【45题详解】考查固定词级。withthehelpof为固定词组，意为“在…的帮助下”，故填With。【46题详解】考查名词。分析句子可知，形容词important作为动词realize的宾语，作宾语要用名词形式importance。故填importance。【47题详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：我的老师建议如果我们想提高英语水平的话，我们应该多读。suggest(建议)后面的句子使用虚拟语气（should）+动词原形，其中的should可以省略，故填(should)read。【48题详解】考查连词。句意：我的老师建议如果我们想提高英语水平的话，我们应该多读。因此我每天都要读书。分析前后的句意可知，前后是因果关系，故填so。【49题详解】考查非谓语作后置定语。句意：但更有价值的是在学校课外活动中学到的东西。分析句子的成分可知，本句中的表语是thelessons，后面的learninextracurricularactivitiesinschool做lessons的后置定语，即thelessons与learn是被动关系,因此要用过去分词做定语，故用learned。【50题详解】考查固定搭配。分析句子IhavemadesuchgreatprogressinmyEnglishstudythatIammoreinterestedinlearningitthanbefore.可知，本句中考查”如此…以致于….”,而progress是不可数名词，只能用such修饰名词，故填Such。三、阅读理解21.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Socialnetworkingwebsitesarecausingalarmingchangesinthebrainsofyoungusers,afamousscientisthaswarned．SitessuchasFacebook,TwitterandBeboaresaidtoshortenattentionspans（幅度）,encourageinstantsatisfactionandmakechildrenmoreself-centered．
