He will be ignorant _1_ his parents efforts. When he starts work, he _2_ (assume) that every person must listen to him, and when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings of his _3_ (employ) and will always blame others.For this kind of person, _4_ may be good academically and may be _5_ (success) for a while, eventually he will not feel the sense of achievement. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead? You can let your children live in _6_ big house, eat a good meal, learn the piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience _7_.After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not _8_ you do not have money to hire a maid. You want them _9_ (understand), no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray.The most important things are that your children learn _10_ to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn how to work with others to get things done.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。研究表明被溺愛(ài)的孩子往往會(huì)很自私，因此讓孩子適度體驗(yàn)生活的艱難對(duì)他們會(huì)有好處。1of考查介詞。此處指他會(huì)忽視父母的努力。be ignorant of sth. “不知道，不了解”。2will assume考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，此處指的是還未發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，從句“When he starts work”用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主句應(yīng)用一般將來(lái)時(shí)。下文中的“when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings . ”亦是提示。3employees考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。他永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)知道他下屬的痛苦?？涨暗摹癶is”表明，此處應(yīng)用名詞，且此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式表泛指。4who考查定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞person，并在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)，故用who。5successful考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處在句中作表語(yǔ)，故用形容詞successful。6a考查冠詞。此處指讓你的孩子住在一個(gè)大房子里，表泛指，故用不定冠詞，結(jié)合空后的big可知，應(yīng)填a。7it考查代詞。你割草時(shí)讓他們來(lái)體驗(yàn)一下。此處用it指代割草這件事。8because考查連詞。這樣做并不是因?yàn)槟銢](méi)錢(qián)雇女仆?？蘸蠼忉尩氖窃?，故用because。注意：本句為省略的強(qiáng)調(diào)句，只能用because，不用since/as/for。9to understand考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。want sb.to do sth.為固定用法，意為“想要某人做某事”。10how考查疑問(wèn)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是“疑問(wèn)詞不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)作賓語(yǔ)，且表示“如何”，故用how。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。An 18yearold student at Stanford University was struggling to pay his fees.Not knowing where to turn for money，he came up with a bright _1_.He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to _2_ money for their education.They_3_ out to the great pianist Ignacy JPaderewski.His manager_4_ a guaranteed fee of$2,000 for the piano recital(獨(dú)奏會(huì))A deal was_5_ and the boys began to work to make the concert a _6_.The big day arrived.But _7_ ，they had not managed to sell enough tickets.The total _8_ was only $1,600.Disappointed，they went to Paderewski and explained their plight(困境)They gave him the entire $1,600，plus a _9_ for the balance$400.They promised to honor the check at the _10_ possible.Paderewski tore up the check，_11_ the$1,600 and told the two boys to keep the money they needed for the fees.The boys were_12_ ，and thanked him heartedly.It was a small act of _13_.But it clearly marked out Paderewski _14_ a great human being._15_ should he help two people he did not even know?

It was bought with the money I had been saved for months. Too upset was I that I could hardly concentrate in what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked if or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my pockets while I was walking. And fortunately, a young lady walked behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave them to him.How excited and how deep moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.答案：This morning I lost my MP3 player on my way to school. It was bought with the money I had saved for months. upset was I that I could hardly concentrate what the teacher was saying.

She found the school guard and gave to him.How excited and how moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.難項(xiàng)分析：第一處：去掉been考查動(dòng)詞的語(yǔ)態(tài)。此句中the money為先行詞，其后為省略了關(guān)系詞which/that的定語(yǔ)從句。從句中I和save之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以此處不能用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。第四處：ifwhether考查賓語(yǔ)從句。asked后的句子是賓語(yǔ)從句。賓語(yǔ)從句可用if/whether “是否”來(lái)引導(dǎo)，但whether可與or not連用，if則不可，故應(yīng)將if改為whether。第十處：kind前加a考查冠詞。person為可數(shù)名詞，且此處表泛指，故其前應(yīng)加不定冠詞，表示“一個(gè)善良的人”。五、七選五。
