六、作文(1題)66.假設(shè)你的朋友叫楊立，是優(yōu)秀學(xué)生。校報(bào)請你寫一篇介紹他的短文。他的基本情況是：現(xiàn)在讀高二，是班長，是全班學(xué)習(xí)最好的;最喜歡學(xué)習(xí)英語和數(shù)學(xué);愛好體育，課余常踢足球，還是學(xué)校游泳隊(duì)隊(duì)員;經(jīng)常幫助別人。注意：(1)基本情況不可遺漏;(2)要有標(biāo)題;(3)詞數(shù)為100左右。

參考答案

1.D解析：which修飾非限定性定語從句，指代前邊一句話。本題涉及句法知識——簡單句、并列句和復(fù)合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復(fù)合句)

2.C解析：句子的前半部分是主語從句，主語從句中的謂語動詞時態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)句意而定。

3.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級better。

4.A本題考查祈使句型：

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：Mary，到這里來，其余的人待在原處。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷出這是個祈使句。所以要用動詞原形開頭。Mary在句中不是

主語，而是“呼語”。

5.A解析：本題考虛擬語氣在名詞性從句中的用法。在“ask(advise，desire，ordersuggest，require，etc。)+the廣引導(dǎo)的從句中，謂語動詞應(yīng)用“should+認(rèn)”，should可以省去，再結(jié)合語態(tài)，故A項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：他們要求所有的必要文件都必須在月底之前交到校長辦公室。

6.A解析：此題考查反意疑問句的用法。主句為祈使句，因此其反意疑問句用willyou。

7.D

8.D

9.A

10.A解析：shape意為“(女人的)姿態(tài)，身段”；form意為“形狀，形態(tài)”；appearance意為“外表，樣子”；body意為“身體”。由題意知應(yīng)選A。

11.B解析：此處是對將來情況的假設(shè)。虛擬條件句的謂語部分為should，had或were時，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在從句的主語之前，構(gòu)成主謂部分倒裝。

12.A解析：根據(jù)上文提到“findone”，故下文中也應(yīng)填one，表示泛指。

13.B

14.B解析：theeducationsystem是主語，謂語動詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)；thedesiredresults意為“期望的結(jié)果”。

15.D

16.C

17.B

18.D

19.A
