25、读 本文是说明文。文章介绍了狗害怕暴风雨的原因及狗的主人可采取的应对办法。 26答案 to become 解析 考查非谓语动词。attempt to do sth.意为“企图做某事”，为固定搭配。故用不定式作 宾语。 27答案 the 解析 考查定冠词。形容词最高级前需加定冠词 the。 28答案 reasons 解析 考查名词复数。由 one of the 可知，设空处需填名词的复数形式，故填 reasons。 29答案 which 解析 考查定语从句引导词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰 noise phobia，且在从句中作 主语，故填 which。 30答案 left 解析 考查非谓语
26、动词。if 从句常省去主语(与主句主语相同时)和系动词或助动词 be，故此 处省略 they are，填 left。 31答案 bursting 解析 考查非谓语动词。static electricity 与 burst 之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且设空处表意料 之中的结果，故用动词- ing 形式作状语。 32答案 is felt 解析 考查动词的时态和语态。由 by dogs 可知，Static electricity 与 feel 之间是被动关系，且 此处描述客观情况，故用一般现在时的被动语态。故填 is felt。 33答案 helpful 解析 考查词性转换。设空处作表语，且句子意为“
27、小心地把你的狗领到澡盆里可能会有 用”，故填 helpful。 34答案 actually 解析 考查词性转换。设空处修饰谓语动词，故填副词 actually。 35答案 of 解析 考查介词。take care of 意为“照顾”，为固定短语。 .短文改错 36 Last winter vacation，I went to Hainan with my parents on air.We first went to the beach.The sky was clearly，the sea was blue and the beach was very beautiful.What was

30、 went to the beach.The sky was clearly clear ，the sea was blue and the beach was very beautiful.What was impressed me most was diving.I saw so much many colorful tropical fishes.It was so amazing.Then we pay paid a visit to the Ends of the Earth，which I had dreamed of go going to.We appreciated the
31、beautiful scenery all the way and took many photo photos.During the visit， I tasted various delicious local foods， among that which I liked sea food most.The people there were friendly and smiling faces were around us all the way， which made us exciting excited. We had a wonderful time there and it
32、was an unforgettable journey.I look forward to travelling there again. 第一处：考查介词。by air 意为“坐飞机”符合句意。故将 on 改成 by。 第二处：考查形容词。分析句子可知这里要用一个形容词来修饰 the sky，clearly 为副词，故 将 clearly 改成 clear。 第三处： 考查动词语态。 分析句子可知What从句为主语从句， what在从句中作主语， 与impress 之间是主谓关系，要用主动语态，所以 was 是多余的，所以将 was 去掉。 第四处：考查形容词。many 与 much 都可
33、以表示“许多的”，many 修饰可数名词，much 修饰不可数名词。fishes 为可数名词，应该由 many 修饰，故将 much 改成 many。 第五处：考查时态。根据 went，was，saw 等可以判断全文时态为一般过去时，而这里的 pay 为一般现在时不符合全文时态，故将 pay 改成 paid。 第六处：考查固定搭配。dream of doing sth.为固定搭配，意为 “梦想做某事”，of 是介词， 后面要用动名词形式，故将 go 改成 going。 第七处：考查名词复数。photo 为可数名词，且由 many 修饰，说明这里要用其复数形式，故 将 photo 改成 phot
34、os。 第八处：考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子可知此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为 local foods，指物，引导词在从句中作介词 among 的宾语，所以要用 which 引导这个非限制性定语 从句。故将 that 改成 which。 第九处：考查形容词。exciting 意为“令人兴奋的”，通常用来指物。这里要表达的是“让我 们很激动”，是用来形容人的感受，应该用 excited (感到兴奋的)，故将 exciting 改成 excited。 第十处：考查冠词。journey 是可数名词，根据句意这里要表示的是“一次难忘的旅行”，所 以要加不定冠词。unforgettable 是以元音
35、音素开头的单词，所以要用 an。故在 unforgettable 前面加上 an。 .书面表达 假设你是李华，计划今年高考后去英国旅行三周。请给你的英国笔友 Wiley 写一封电子 邮件，告诉 Wiley 你的旅行计划，就游览景点征求他的建议，并约他同游伦敦。 注意： 1词数 100 左右； 2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考范文 Dear Wiley， Im glad to receive your letter.In your letter，you asked me about my plans after the college entrance examination.
