【语篇解读】本文介绍了冬奥会吉祥物冰墩墩和残奥会吉祥物雪绒绒。

1.which［考查定语从句。分析可知空格处引导非限定性定语从句，先行词thegiantpanda

指物，从句中缺少主语，要用which引导这个定语从句，故填which。］

2.isseen［考查时态和语态。句意：残奥会吉祥物选择的灯笼被视为“丰收、温暖和光

明'’的象征。see在句子中作谓语，与主语TheParalympicmascotchoiceofthelantern之间是被

动关系，要用被动语态。主语TheParalympicmascotchoiceofthelantern表达的是单数意义，

谓语动词也要用单数。全文为一般现在时，时态应用一般现在时。故填isseen。］

3.tolerance［考查词性转换。空格处做介词of的宾语要填名词，故填tolerance。］

辑主语Themascots之间是被动关系，要用其过去分词形式。故填revealed。］

6.with［考查固定搭配。词组beassociatedwith为固定搭配，意为“与...有关”,故填

witho1

7.emphasizing［考查动名词。aswellas后接动词时，动词一般要用动名词形式，故填

emphasizingo］

8.those［考查代词。句意：这两个吉祥物结合了中国传统文化和现代国际风格的元素，

并着重强调了冰雪运动以及所在城市的特征。根据句意，空格处的意思是“特征”。前文已经出

现过characteristics,所以要用一个代词指代，characteristics是复数意义，所以用代词thoseo

故填thoseo］

9.vividly［考查词性转换。修饰动词show要用副词，故填vividly。］

10.a［考查不定冠词。空格处修饰名词ambassador,ambassador是可数名词，所以要

填一个冠词。根据语境，这里是泛指“一个大使"，wonderful是辅音开头，要用不定冠词a,

故填a。］

【语篇解读】本文作者讲述了母亲的英语不好，在美国常受人欺负，也令作者尴尬。

但后来，在作者看来，正是母亲的语言才教会我如何看待事物，如何表达思想，了解世界。

1.Whywastheauthor'smotherpoorlyserved?

A.ShewasunabletospeakgoodEnglish.

B.Shewasoftenmisunderstood.

C.Shewasnotclearlyheard.

D.Shewasnotverypolite.

A［细节理解题。主要信息点在第一段。由第一段第一句和第二段第一句，以及下文中

引用的母亲所讲的英语原话，可知母亲讲的英语不好。由第一段中的“didnottakeherseriously,

didnotgivehergoodservice,pretendednottounderstandher,orevenactedasiftheydidnothear”

可排除选项B和C。由这些信息可以推断出，是因为她的英语讲得不好店里的人欺侮她，而

不是她无礼，可排除选项D。］

办法，都失败了，最后把他送去救治。班里一片混乱，为了稳定学生，作者与同学们分享了
