10、ional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes”可知，在计划攀登乞力马扎罗山时，Ash Newland 发明出了便携式洗衣机。由于苦恼于有限的背包空间，他从传统的洗衣板中得到灵感而得以创造出一个可以用来洗衣服的背包，故选 D项，Ash Newland 因为自己的个人经历而发明了这款背包。2Why wasnt Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?AClothes couldnt be washed well.BThe invention was n

28、et out of it?【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了怎样避免无聊的谈话。1答案与解析：B选项 B中的 so就是指空前的“get a refill”这一行为；同时空后的“make a move fast.as well”与选项 B的内容相呼应。2答案与解析：C空后的代词 it指代空处前一句中的“Im not in a good mood. Can I talk to you later if you dont mind？” ，所以空处及后一句与这一问题有关；同时后一句中的“Say it firmly”与选项 C“不要为了获得同情而表现得太礼貌。 ”在内容和语气方面是一致的。3答案与解析：G根据
29、该段的主题句以及空后两句可知，空后的两句话是对选项 G这一疑问句的回答，选项 G能够引出下文，符合语境。4答案与解析：D根据上文中的主题句都使用祈使句这一特点可知，该段也应用祈使句作主题句；同时根据该段中的第一句可知，把目光从这个人身上移开，不要有眼神交流，这样可以给对方强烈的暗示，使其发现这段谈话极其无聊，这与选项 D“使用肢体语言暗示厌烦。 ”相吻合。5答案与解析：F空处起承上启下的作用，且根据该段主题句可知，使用肢体语言暗示厌烦，所以选项 F“看向别处并假装你的注意力被其他东西吸引。 ”与之吻合。三、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

35、 the past two years”可知，此处应用现在完成时。故加 has。第二处：考查副词。根据句子所使用的一般过去时可知，此处是指两年前。ago 立足现在，表示从现在起的 2年前；before 立足过去，表示从过去某一时刻起的 2年前。此处应用 ago。第三处：考查副词。easy 是形容词，意为“容易的” ； easily 是副词，意为“容易地”。此处应用副词修饰动词词组“got tired” ，意为“很容易劳累” 。故用 easily。第四处：考查定语从句。根据句型结构分析可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，不能用 that引导，所以用 which指代前面的整句话；或者在 that前加
36、and，构成 and连接的两个并列句。故用 which/and that。第五处：考查连词。unless 意为“除非” ，相当于 if.not；if 意为“如果” 。根据句意可知，后来他意识到如果他继续那样，他将什么也不会获得。故用 if。第六处：考查非谓语动词。end up doing sth.意为“以做某事而告终” ，此处应用动名词。故用 achieving。第七处：考查固定搭配。make up ones mind to do sth.是固定短语，意为“下定决心做某事” ，mind 的单复数由 ones决定，因为这里是 his，所以用单数。故用 mind。第八处：考查冠词。球类名词前不加冠
37、词。play basketball 意为“打篮球” 。故去掉the。8第九处：考查连词。or 意为“或者” ，表示选择；and 意为“和” ，表示并列。此处“more vegetables”和“less meat”是并列的。故用 and。第十处：考查代词。根据语境可知，此处指代上文中的“problems” ，所以用 them。四、短文语法填空This summer I travelled from noisy Beijing to Wuzhen, a beautiful village in Zhejiang Province.Unfolded before me was _1_ unique

42、且 unique的读者不是以元音音素开头的，故用不定冠词 a。2what what 引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语，表示物的概念。3taking 固定搭配：cant help doing sth.意为“情不自禁做某事” ，故用动名词作宾语。4warmth 介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，故用名词 warmth作介词 with的宾语。5unforgettable 修饰名词一般用形容词，且此处与第二段呼应，作者和朋友们分享的是难忘的经历，故用形容词 unforgettable，在句子中作定语。6simply 修饰形容词应用副词，故用副词 simply在句子中作状语。7are stepped 根据语境中 by的提示可知，此处表示被动概念，且由句中 feel的时态可知，应用一般现在时的被动语态，即 are stepped。98made make 和其逻辑主语 survey之间构成动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。9themselves 固定搭配：devote oneself to，意为“专心于；致力于” ，此处用反身代词 themselves作宾语。10from 根据语境可知，此处表示下班后回来，故用介词 from，意为“从” 。
