Well, _1_ its the important time of preparation for adulthood.Dont get me wrong. Being a teen is hard and _2_ (annoy). Its a time that adults look upon with_3_ (embarrass) and annoyance. However, its a time to figure out your talents, _4_ you like and your view in life. A very popular trend is to “be who you are”， _5_ is great, but I like to take it further and say, “be the best you, you can be” . The teenage years are not the same for everyone. We each have our own situations, personalities, and way _6_ living a life. Those things shape us for the future. What I said is true. The majority of the human lifespan _7_ (spend) as an adult, so I might as well make sure that time is great. That is why being a teen is _8_ important role in society. We have the power to _9_ (potential) control the future. Being a teenager is awesome. Dont take _10_ for granted; instead, use this time to be the best you, you can be.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文，介紹了青少年時(shí)期在人們一生中的重要性，并說明了青少年時(shí)期對(duì)于每個(gè)人都不盡相同，抓住這個(gè)時(shí)間成為最好的自己對(duì)于成年有重要意義。1because 考查連詞。根據(jù)上文的“Why？you may ask.”可知，此處是回答這個(gè)問題的，故用because來引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。2annoying 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。此處and連接兩個(gè)并列的形容詞作表語，且描述的是“Being a teen”的狀況，故填annoying，意為“令人煩惱的”。3embarrassment 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)下文的“and annoyance”可知，該空填名詞embarrassment與annoyance并列。4what 考查賓語從句的連接詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)從句作figure out的賓語，空處在從句中作like的賓語，表示“所的事物”，故用連接詞what。5which 考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，且在從句中作主語，先行詞為前面主句整體內(nèi)容，故用which。6of 考查介詞。名詞way后接to do sth.或of doing sth.，表示“做某事的方式”，根據(jù)“l(fā)iving a life”可知，該空填of。7is spent 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)、語態(tài)和主謂一致。描述一般性情況，本文的時(shí)態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，且主語“The majority of the human lifespan”為單數(shù)，與動(dòng)詞spend之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填is spent。8an 考查冠詞。此處表泛指，且important的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭，故用an。9potentially 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。此處應(yīng)用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞control，故該空填potentially。10it 考查代詞。此處指的是“不要不重視青少年時(shí)期”；take sth. for granted為固定搭配，意為“視為理所當(dāng)然，不把當(dāng)回事”，此處用it來代替“Being a teenager”。*完形填空。Every Friday I went to a senior nursing home which was the lowest ratingone star out of five. It seemed as if it needed 1, but little did I know it would help me too. During my first visit I helped to polish some female residents2. One woman asked me many questions. After she was satisfied with my 3, she started to share some of her hidden 4. By listening to her, I realized I had actually helped her: she looked relieved, 5 of some of her past pains. When she was finished, she told me something that 6 me to visit the nursing home every week. She said, “Youre the 7 person I was able to tell this to. The other ladies are too busy to listen to me, and the other 8 dont care. Youll e back next week, right? ” After 9 blowing on her newly coated nails, I smiled and 10, “Yes, Ill see you next Friday. ”That day, I was gladdened by the 11 that I had helped somebody. I realized an action as simple as 12 became something much more. During every second I spent there, I realized how much of a difference my 13 could have on the lives of others, and I also found energy in a place not 14 known for it. But the most 15 aspect of living there is that it breaks the human 16 between those in todays society and the nursing home residents. Every moment I spend chatting is an opportunity to 17 that connection again, to unwrap their troubles, and to shape someones life. In 18, that moment also shapes me. I not only learn about life and experiences outside of school, but also receive the 19 of being part of this processthis connection between humans. Those 20 of sharing and listening are magical for both the giver and the receiver. 【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文, 介紹作者在療養(yǎng)院服務(wù)期間的感悟和認(rèn)識(shí)。明白一個(gè)道理: 傾聽和分享是一件使接受者和給予者都高興的事。1.

It also enriches life in a creative way.難項(xiàng)分析：第一處：去掉on 考查介詞。在表示時(shí)間的名詞短語前如有l(wèi)ast, next等詞限定時(shí)，前面不用介詞，因此去掉on。第六處：great前加a 考查冠詞。句中的success指一件成功的事，為可數(shù)名詞，因此要在great前加上不定冠詞a。第八處：thatwhich 考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。逗號(hào)后的句子是非限制性定語從句，that不能引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，且關(guān)系詞指代的先行詞為前文提到的各種形式的表演，為物，因此把that改為which。*
