25、lly is a case of He who 10 (stop) to work out the meaning is lost.【答案】【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了听力理解的困难以及解决方法。1. greatest 考 查 形 容 词 最 高 级 语 法 。 本 句 中 使 用 最 高 级 greatest 表 示 听 力 最 大 的 困 难 是 无 法 控 制 说话 者 的 语 速 。4. of 考查介词。介词 of 表示隶属关系，意为 的，短语 the meaning of one part 指一部分的意思。5. simply 考查副词。在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，而形
26、容词通常作定语或表语修饰名词，所以本句中使用副词 simply 作状语修饰谓语动词 ignore a whole section。6. be asked 考查语态。本句主语 repeat 重复，与动词 ask 之间构成被动关系，所以使用被动语态。7. choice 考查名词。本句中 7 (choose) of vocabulary在句中作主语，要使用名词形式，所以使用 choice。8. dropped 考 查 分 词 用 法 。 本 句 中 不 及 物 动 词 drop 的 过 去 分 词 表 示 已 经 完 成 ， dropped barrier 表 示 突然落下的障碍。句意：不认识的单词
27、就像是突然落下的障碍。9. causing 考查分词作结果状语。突然出现的不认识的单词让人们错过了发言的下一部分，带来了听力方面的问题。这属于意料之中的正常的结果，作状语的现在分词在句中表示意料之中的结果。III. 短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均限一词；2. 只允许修改 10 处，多者(从

Several later, the rescue team pulled car out of the channel. At last, hours tiruwe managed to drive very slowl
32、y home. I would never forget this experience.to第一处：amwas 考查时态。根据后半句中谓语动词 started to snow 使用了一般过去时，可知全文叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以本句使用 was。句意：我正和父母亲看望爷爷奶奶回来的路上。在这时开始下雪了。第二处：thenwhen 考查连词。本句是一个固定句式：be doing sth when.正在做某事在这时；其中 when 意为在那时后句表示意料之外的事情，引导并列句。句意：我正和父母亲看望爷爷奶奶回来的路上。在这时开始下雪了。第三处：beautifullybeautiful 考查形容
33、词。本句中形容词 beautiful 和系动词 look 连用构成系表结构。句意：起初我认为下雪很有趣，一切看起来会很漂亮。第四处：makemaking 考查动名词。动词短语 look forward to sth/doing sth 期待某物/做某事；其中的 to 是介词，后面要接名词或动名词作宾语。所以本句中使用了动名词 making 在句中作宾语。第七处：HoweverTherefore 考查副词。句意：救援人员说要很久以后他们才能找到我们，因此我们唱歌并讲故事来消磨时间。上下文之间是因果关系，而不是转折关系，所以使用副词 therefore 表示因果关系。第八处：hourhours 考
34、查名词单复数。名词hour(小时)是一个可数名词，前面有 several 修饰，说明应该使用复数形式。第九处：theirour 考查代词。本句中 our 指代父母亲和我，指救援人员把我们的汽车开除了隧道。第十处：删除 to 考查副词。本句中home是一个副词，要单独使用，前面不能加介词。类似的结构有：on the way home 在回家的路上。I. 单词拼写1.
