1.2.3.4.5.Part2Using

language

答案

能力提升练

I.1.colourful考查形容词。空前的are是系动词，其后应用形容词作表语。

2.tocomplete考查非谓语动词。本句是“Ittakes（sb.）sometimetodosth.”句型，意为“（某人）

花多长时间做某事”,其中It是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语。故填tocomplete«

3.into考查介词。turn…into...是固定搭配，意为“把……变成……3

4.beingwashed考查非谓语动词及被动语态。keepsb./sth.fromdoingsth.是固定搭配，意为

“阻止某人/某物做某事''，此处短语washaway与其逻辑主语soil是被动关系，应用doing的被

动形式beingdone。故填beingwashed。

5.wisely考查副词。设空处修饰动词designed,应用副词形式。

6.moves考查时态和主谓一致。设空处是谓语动词,且此处表示客观事实，应用一般现在时，

主语rainwater是第三人称单数形式，故谓语用动词的第三人称单数形式。

7.which考查定语从句。逗号前是一个完整的句子，空后句子缺少主语，故推测此处是非限制

性定语从句,且设空处代替vapour,在从句中作主语,vapour指物，故用which»

8.birds考查名词的数。bird是可数名词,空前没有冠词，只能用复数表示类别。

9.their考查代词。tradition是名词，应用形容词性物主代词修饰。

10.the考查定冠词。wonder在这里表示“奇迹;奇观”，为可数名词，此处特指这一奇观，故设空

处应用定冠词the。

JI.A

1.D推理判断题。根据第一段中“Ilivenotfarfrom...thewalkingpathsdaily."可知,“我,'住的地

方离一个公园不远，它是日本最大的公园之一，以近一万棵李子树而闻名。"我”很幸运，它们都

在“我'’的后院外面，每天“我”都能在小路上散步。由此判断出，作者对自己的生活环境很满意,

故选D项。

2.C细节理解题。根据第二段中“Iseethesametrees...Theywereprettyandcute.（我每天都看

到同样的树和天鹅,但那天不同。在小湖边，我看到了一些新出生的黑天鹅。它们又漂亮又可

爱。）”及第三段中“Thankstohim...aliveandswimming!（多亏了他，我才能到达那里，最终把小天

鹅从夹缝里拉出来。哦,我真希望它没有受伤，但至少它还活着,还在游泳!）"可知，那天对作者

来说是特别的一天是因为她遇到了一些天鹅,并帮助了其中一只。故选C项。

3.B推理判断题。根据第三段中“Afterhearingmywords...almosthurtbythemother.（听了我

的话,那个人先对我笑了笑，然后同意帮助我。他费了好大的劲儿才把天鹅妈妈赶走，有好几次

差点被天鹅妈妈伤到。）“可判断出I,老人很热心。well-known有名的;warm-hearted热心

的;selfish自私的;outgoing外向的。故选B项。

4.A细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Inspring,Ibecomemorephysically...inourown

neighborhoods4在春天，我变得更加活跃。周围的事物不能使我们活跃，但大自然能，它让我们

继续前进。我确信在我们所有人的社区里，都存在着大自然的一小部分。）''可知，根据作者的

说法,是大自然让我们身体更活跃，故选A项。

B

5.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的"...sendoutaparticularsmellthatneighboringplantscanget.

Thesechemicalscomefromtheinjuredpartsoftheplantandseemtobeanalarm.”可知,当植物

受到伤害时,会释放一种特殊的化学物质。

6.A细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句"Oncetheyarrive...becomeslunch.（一旦它们到达，局

面就会逆转，正在吃午餐的攻击者现在变成了午餐。）”可知，当攻击者的天敌到来时，攻击者则

会成为天敌的午餐，即“就会成为被攻击的对象

7.C推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中“theyheardthealannandknewwhattodo”可知，植
