9、译文:人们为了像砂糖一样的沙子和充满丰富多彩的野生动植物的平静的水域而来到这里。1D 考查细节理解。根据题干关键词“Baia do Sancho”及第二段中的“But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there”可知,Baia do Sancho 比较难到达,所以选 D。2C 考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“Eagle Beach may be best known,however, f
10、or its dramatic sunsets”可知,Eagle Beach 有令人印象深刻的日落,与题干的“enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun”所表达的意思相一致,所以选 C。3B 考查细节理解。根据第七段句子“It has a fun,laidback restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink”可知,在 Playa Paraiso能够享用令人放松的晚餐,所以选 B。二、语法填空。A survey showed a child, who has been protected and habitually

15、往往会很自私,因此让孩子适度体验生活的艰难对他们会有好处。1of 考查介词。此处指他会忽视父母的努力。be ignorant of sth. “不知道,不了解” 。2will assume 考查动词的时态。根据语境,此处指的是还未发生的动作,从句“When he starts work”用一般现在时,主句应用一般将来时。下文中的“when he becomes a manager, he will never know the sufferings . ”亦是提示。3employees 考查词性转换。他永远也不会知道他下属的痛苦。空前的“his”表明,此处应用名词,且此处用名词复数形式表泛指。
16、4who 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词 person,并在定语从句中作主语,故用 who。5successful 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作表语,故用形容词successful。46a 考查冠词。此处指让你的孩子住在一个大房子里,表泛指,故用不定冠词,结合空后的 big可知,应填 a。7it 考查代词。你割草时让他们来体验一下。此处用 it指代割草这件事。8because 考查连词。这样做并不是因为你没钱雇女仆。空后解释的是原因,故用because。注意:本句为省略的强调句,只能用 because,不用 since/as/for。9to
17、 understand 考查非谓语动词。want sb.to do sth.为固定用法,意为“想要某人做某事” 。10how 考查疑问词。分析句子结构可知,此处是“疑问词不定式”结构作宾语,且表示“如何” ,故用 how。三、完形填空。It was an unforgettable weekend.I had a great time at the 1 However,after I reached home, I noticed my owl necklace was 2 I was so anxious that I 3 every room in the house,but my eff

I want deep deeplyto be kind person like the lady. a难项分析:第一处:去掉 been 考查动词的语态。此句中 the money为先行词,其后为省略了关系词 which/that的定语从句。从句中 I和 save之间是
36、主动关系,所以此处不能用被动语态。第四处:ifwhether 考查宾语从句。asked 后的句子是宾语从句。宾语从句可用if/whether “是否”来引导,但 whether可与 or not连用,if 则不可,故应将 if改为whether。第十处:kind 前加 a 考查冠词。person 为可数名词,且此处表泛指,故其前应加不定冠词,表示“一个善良的人” 。五、七选五。While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead t
