〚导学号23280100〛Ⅳ.短文改错(2018·河北邢台第二次月考)Oneday,twofriendscallingHarryandGarrywenttoamerchantforjobasasecretary.Themerchantgaveeachofthemacanebasket,pointingtowardsawellinhisgarden,andsaid,“Takingthesebasketsanddrawwaterfromthewelltilldusk.”Harrythoughtthatfoolishtodrawwaterwithacanebasketbecausehesleptunderatalltree.Inthecontrary,Garrykeptupworking.Severalhourslater,whenhedrewthebasketup,hesawsomegoldcoininthebasket.Finally,themerchantgavethejobtoGarry.Seenthis,Harrywentaway,ashamed.〚导学号23280101〛答案：Ⅰ.【解题导语】本文是议论文,题材为社会文化类。过去人们喜欢阅读悲伤的故事,可是最新研究发现,随着社交网络的出现,人们更愿意阅读积极向上的故事。1.A细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“Theclassicruleofnewsusedtobe‘Ifitbleeds,itleads’,suggestingthatpeopleonlywantedtohearstoriesabouttragedy.”可知,过去人们喜欢阅读悲剧。故选A项“战争、死亡和灾难”。2.C推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“Inthepast,newsoutletssimplywantedtogetpeopletowatchtheirshowsorbuytheirnewspapers.Shockingstoriesmadepeopletunein.”可推断,过去报纸中的那些可怕的故事是为了吸引顾客购买报纸,这样那些经销商就能赚更多的钱。3.C推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,快乐的和消极的故事都具有感染性。4.B推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“Theyfoundthatthestorieswhichfocusedongoodnewshadmoreclicksthannegativestories.”和最后一段可知,在网上分享快乐向上的文章是创造美好世界的一个途径。Ⅱ.【解题导语】埃米·琼斯用自己短暂而又辉煌的一生诠释了生命的意义。1.B由下文Butthemanchosetowalkawayfromherlife可知,Amy的丈夫离开了她,她在感情上受到了严重的伤害。所以,Amy曾经有过一段艰难的生活经历。2.C她自以为遇上了梦想中的男人,所以就嫁给了他。3.D联系空后的includingher可知,那个男人后来选择了离开,抛弃了一切,也包括她。abandon“抛弃,遗弃”。4.C联系“Butthemanchosetowalkawayfromherlife,3everything,includingher.”可知,最终,这场婚姻以失败告终,留给Amy的是一身的债务和感情上的挫折。

5.A由前文所述的事实可知,这是她生命中十分艰难的时刻。6.B她没有因这段失败的婚姻而消沉,并以读书的方式来激励自己。7.A她知道自己想要与Zig共事,但不确定该怎样去实现。8.B所以她安排了一个时间去ZigZiglar的办公室里面试。setup“安排;建立”。9.D听了Amy的故事后,Zig马上感觉到她有点不一般。10.C从AmyworkedwithZigforyears可知,她已经得到了自己想要的工作。11.A让她自己感到非常吃惊的是,她还出版了一本书。12.B她感到一切都很顺利,让人简直不敢相信这是真的。13.AAmy的肚子感到一阵剧烈的疼痛。aterriblepain“剧烈的疼痛”。14.C当听到Amy去世的消息时,“我”感到非常震惊。15.D“我”简直难以相信自己刚刚与这位女士谈过话。她精力充沛,但却病魔缠身。16.C参照上题解析。17.DAmy的一生都在以勇气迎接每一次挑战,积极地影响着尽可能多的人。18.C参照上题解析。19.B她的故事一直提醒着“我”:我们应该开始过充实而有意义的生活了。reminder“提醒物,提示物”。20.A联系前文“...it’sabouttimeweallstartedtoliveourlivesfully.”可知,应选waiting,意为“你还在等什么呢?”。Ⅲ.【解题导语】保护环境,从我做起;拯救地球,从小做起。作者8岁时创立网络公司,把一部分利润捐给热衷于环保的组织。最微小的行动胜过最伟大的打算。1.to考查介词。behometo意为“……的栖息地”,为固定搭配。2.responsibility考查词性转换。“我们都住在这个令人惊叹的地方,因此人人也都有责任照顾它”。根据空前的“havethe”可知此处应填一个名词,responsibility意为“责任,职责”。3.how考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导的从句做wondered的宾语,且根据句意可知,此处表示方式,故用how引导该从句,表示“我想知道我如何能把我的才能用于好的方面”。4.inspired考查时态。空处的前一句和后一句都用的是一般现在时,但是根据空后的时间状语“atage8”可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。5.trying考查非谓语动词。“我把收益的一部分捐给了那些尽最大努力挽救我们的环境的组织。”分析句子结构可知,organizations与try之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故此处应用现在分词做后置定语。此处容易错填totry,考生以为空处是不定式做目的状语。但是,如果填totry,那么try的主语就成了I,后面的“their”就与之矛盾了。6.invited考查非谓语动词。“创业后,我开始受邀给年轻人做关于我的公司和环境的讲座。”此处是getdone“被……”结构,故填过去分词。7.is考查主谓一致和时态。that引导定语从句并在从句中做主语,that指代的是somethingelse,表示单数含义,故从句谓语动词用单数形式。此外,这里表示客观的情况,故应用一般现在时。综上可知本空填is。8.a考查冠词。很多人觉得对任何事业所做的微小贡献都是杯水车薪,不会有什么影响。这里表示泛指,且contribution是可数名词,故用a。注意:feellike后面是一个省略了引导词的从句。9.Actually考查副词。“但那是错误的!事实上,谈到拯救环境,每一个微小的行为都很重要。”空处做状语修饰整个句子,故要用副词。actually“事实上”。10.ti
