Those parties _1_ birthday parties and wedding ceremonies are usually fun, and encountering friends we arent expecting _2_ be a wonderful treat as well. People are often surprised by new mails, or _3_ (see) an old friend at a grocery store. There are many kinds of ways that joy unexpectedly es into our life.Perhaps even better is a blessing in disguise. Assume that you are walking in the rain to a bookstore because your _4_ (favor) author is going to hold a meeting for her new book. You walk for an hour, and arrive pletely wet. _5_ you walk into the bookstore, you are told that the author is sick and wont be there. _6_ a disappointment!_7_ when you look across the room, you may see a friend with whom you havent talked in a year. Then you two agree to cross the street together to _8_ coffee shop, and talk for hours. The authors _9_ (sick) is unfortunate for you, but if she _10_ (be) not sick, you might not have coffee with your old friend. It is a blessing in disguise.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。生活總會給我們許多驚喜。你冒著雨去與自己最喜歡的作者見面，卻被告知作者生病不能前來，但你卻無意中遇到了自己多日不見的朋友，這就是我們生活中的驚喜。1like考查介詞。由設(shè)空前的parties和設(shè)空后表示舉例的名詞可知，應(yīng)填like “例如；像”。2can考查情態(tài)動詞。由設(shè)空前的“arent expecting”和空后的“as well”可知，應(yīng)填表示理論上的可能性的can。3seeing考查非謂語動詞。此處表示收到郵件或在雜貨店見到老朋友都會讓人感到意外。空處作介詞by的賓語，故應(yīng)使用see的動名詞形式seeing。4favorite考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。此處應(yīng)用形容詞修飾名詞author，指最喜歡的作家，故用favorite。5When/After考查狀語從句的連接詞。此處指當(dāng)/在你走進(jìn)書店時/之后，故填When/After。6What考查感嘆句的引導(dǎo)詞。“Whata/an形容詞單數(shù)名詞主語謂語”為固定句型，在表意清楚的情況下，主語和謂語常常被省略，故此處用What。7But考查連詞。根據(jù)上下文語境可知，此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故用But。8a考查冠詞。此處指“一個咖啡店”，表泛指，故用不定冠詞a。9sickness考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。由上文中的“the author is sick”可知此處表示作者生病了，再由空前的“authors”可知此處應(yīng)用名詞。10were考查虛擬語氣。此處表示要是你喜歡的作者現(xiàn)在沒有生病，你可能就沒有機(jī)會和老朋友喝咖啡了。表示與現(xiàn)在事實相反的假設(shè)，所以應(yīng)用were。三、完形填空。閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項。When my sister Diane began playing the violin，she was seven.How did she sound？Terrible.But she didnt _1_.At twelve，she asked our parents if she could _2_ a fulltime music school.They said no.Actually，everyone agreed that my sister_3_ talent.I was better at my _4_.My teacher had told my parents that I had great_5_.So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area to _6_ me.But the only time he was _7_ was Saturday afternoons at 3 pm.

Terrible”可知，七歲時，“我”妹妹的小提琴演奏得糟糕透了(awful)，故C項正確。A項意為“迅速發(fā)展的”，B項意為“令人愉快的”，D項意為“有力量的”，都與語境不符。20A根據(jù)本句中的“and knew how far she had e, despite”并結(jié)合上文可知，“我”想起了妹妹七歲時演奏小提琴的糟糕的聲音，只有“我”知道她不顧一切(everything)走了多遠(yuǎn)。四、短文改錯。Dear Dave，Im very glad to receive your letter ask for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
