答案：

解題導(dǎo)語：本文為說明文，講述了戲劇課在教育中的重要作用。作者認為，無論是成年人還是兒童，通過表演都能夠建立自信，激發(fā)創(chuàng)造力和培養(yǎng)交際能力。戲劇表演課需要孩子們和他人溝通，戲劇課中的即興創(chuàng)作能激發(fā)孩子的想象力和創(chuàng)造力。

1.A　解析：句意：學(xué)習(xí)戲劇能夠開發(fā)(explore)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造力……explore意為“探索;開發(fā)”; express意為“表達”;expose意為“使暴露”;experience意為“經(jīng)歷”。

2.D　解析：根據(jù)“and worries”可推出前面也是表示負面含義的詞，故排除 B、C兩項。sadness意為“傷心”;excitement意為“激動，興奮”;happiness意為“開心”;shyness意為“羞怯”。學(xué)習(xí)戲劇可以增加自信，因此能夠擺脫羞怯。故選D項。

3.B　解析：根據(jù)后面的“television”以及“These screen­based methods”可知選B項。movie意為“電影”;drama意為“話劇”;radio意為“收音機”;media意為“媒體”。

4.C　解析：根據(jù)上文的“passive”以及下文“They prevent children communicating with others.”可知，此處為消極(negative)作用。subjective意為“主觀的”;positive意為“積極的”;sensitive意為“敏感的”。

5.B　解析：下文講述了戲劇積極的影響，與上文娛樂的消極影響形成對比，故用however(然而)表轉(zhuǎn)折。meanwhile意為“與此同時”;besides意為“除此以外”;therefore意為“因此”。

6.D　解析：根據(jù)上句中的“...drama puts the children enthusiastic about communication...”可知，戲劇表演可以讓孩子們更多地交流聯(lián)絡(luò)(connect)。compete意為“競爭”;compare意為“比較”;discuss意為“討論”。

7.C　解析：根據(jù)句意可知前后兩句為因果關(guān)系，所以選as(因為)。before意為“在……之前”;though意為“盡管”;if意為“如果”。

8.A　解析：根據(jù)上文可知，戲劇表演會使孩子們更多地進行交流，增進他們的社交意識。socially意為“善于交際地，社交方面地”，符合語境。mentally意為“精神上”;physically意為“身體上”;emotionally意為“情感上”。

9.A　解析：孩子們在玩游戲時將故事和現(xiàn)實結(jié)合起來，所以他們在游戲中會運用自己的想象力(imagination)。determination意為“決心”;consideration意為“考慮”;communication意為“交流”。

10.B　解析：根據(jù)空前的“away from reality”和空后“their own story”可判斷出，孩子們會創(chuàng)造(create)自己的故事。believe意為“相信”;tell意為“講”;read意為“讀”。

11.B　解析：根據(jù)句意及結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處是說通過(through)戲劇這種載體，孩子們可以自由地表達自己。for意為“為了”;beyond意為“超過”;across意為“穿過”。

12.A　解析：句意：孩子們是通過理解戲劇沒有最終的答案，從而知道他們的意見和貢獻都是有價值的，并以此來獲得自信。confidence意為“自信”，符合語境。success意為“成功”;hope意為“希望”;admiration意為“羨慕，欽佩”。

13.D　解析：此處是說他們會對很多事情和情形作出反應(yīng)。respond to意為“對……作出反應(yīng)/回應(yīng)”;reply to意為“回復(fù)”;stick to意為“堅持”;turn to意為“轉(zhuǎn)向;求助于”。

14.C　解析：entertainment意為“娛樂”;language意為“語言”;play意為“玩”。根據(jù)下文的“...other subjects such as geography, history and English...a more rounded education”可知此處講述教育(education)與戲劇之間的關(guān)系。

15.D　解析：此處是說戲劇能夠鼓勵孩子們對其他學(xué)科產(chǎn)生積極的興趣。encourage sb. to do sth.意為“鼓勵某人做某事”，為固定搭配。train 意為“訓(xùn)練”;persuade意為“說服”;require意為“要求”。

16.B　解析：孩子們對他們在學(xué)校里學(xué)的地理、歷史和英語感興趣了，他們就能擁有(have)更全面的教育。give意為“給”;continue意為“繼續(xù)”;provide意為“提供”。

17.C　解析：根據(jù)“holding onto his parent's arm”可知此處為不愿(unwilling)他/她離去。pleased意為“高興的”;tired意為“累的”;sorry意為“抱歉的”。

18.C　解析：看見同一個孩子面帶微笑地跑進我的教室是很棒的(excellent)事情。imaginary意為“虛構(gòu)的，幻想的”;ordinary意為“普通的”;odd意為“古怪的”。

19.A　解析：在戲劇中(within)，每個孩子都給予了發(fā)光發(fā)亮的機會。within意為“在……之內(nèi)”;over意為“在正上方”;above意為“在上面”;after意為“在……之后”。

20.D　解析：此處是說戲劇涵蓋了(covers)舞蹈、音樂、導(dǎo)演等方面。link意為“連接”;possess意為“擁有”;apply意為“申請;應(yīng)用”。

Ⅲ.語法填空

閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個單詞)或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

(2016·山東日照高三檢測)A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing 1.________ (have) a close knock on Oct.22.He was so 2.________ (absorb) in his smartphone that he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him,3.________ (throw)him to the ground.This should serve 4.________a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings，especially 5.________ crossing roads.

6.________ (lucky)，the man survived a brush with death，but the incident forced the driver 7.________ (stop)the train.An 18­minute delay followed the incident,8.________led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

Smartphone 9.________(addicted)has spread like an infectious disease.It's evident that it will do great harm to society.What's even 10.________ (bad)，some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends.

Some people blame the smartphone for the tragedy，yet in fact people's weakening self­control and self­discipline are to blame.

答案：

解題導(dǎo)語：如今手機上癮現(xiàn)象非常嚴(yán)重，對人們的生活有著很大的危害。文章告訴我們是我們的自控力和自我約束力差而導(dǎo)致此種現(xiàn)象，并非手機本身的問題。

1.had　解析：考查一般過去時。根據(jù)時間狀語“on Oct. 22”可知，此處是在描述發(fā)生在過去的事情，故用一般過去時。

2.absorbed　解析：考查固定短語。be absorbed in意為“專心致志，全神貫注”，是固定短語。

3.throwing　解析：考查現(xiàn)在分詞。根據(jù)語境可知，此處表示“火車與他擦身而過，把他摔在了地上”，train和throw之間是主謂關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。

4.as　解析：考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)。serve as意為“起作用，產(chǎn)生效果”，此處表示“這應(yīng)該給人們起一個警告作用”。

5.when/while　解析：考查連詞。根據(jù)語境可知，此處表示“尤其是當(dāng)過馬路的時候”，故用when或while，此處是“主語+系動詞”的省略�？蛇�原為：especially when/while they are crossing roads。

6.Luckily　解析：考查副詞。幸運的是，這個男子與死亡擦肩而過，但是這個事件迫使駕駛員停下了火車。在句首應(yīng)該用lucky的副詞形式，即Luckily。

7.to stop　解析：考查動詞不定式。force sb. to do sth.意為“迫使某人做某事”，為固定結(jié)構(gòu)。

8.which　解析：考查非限制性定語從句。因為這件事耽擱了18分鐘，導(dǎo)致路線上其他火車的運行中斷了。此處用which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，指代前面的“An 18­minute delay”。

9.addiction　解析：考查名詞。分析句子成分可知，此處作主語，意為“手機上癮”，故用addicted的名詞形式addiction，意為“上癮”。addict作為名詞時，意為“對……著迷的人”，此處不符合語境。

10.worse　解析：考查形容詞比較級。what's even worse意為“甚至更糟糕的是”，even修飾比較級，故用worse。

Ⅳ.書面表達

(2015·福建福州質(zhì)檢)“Your family are God's gift to you, as you are to them”是1984年諾貝爾和平獎得主Desmond Tutu曾就個人與家人關(guān)系說過的一句話。請認真品味這句話，然后按照要求用英語寫一篇短文。

內(nèi)容要求：1.你對這句話的理解;

2.結(jié)合具體事例說明;

3.恰當(dāng)?shù)慕Y(jié)尾。

注意：1.短文開頭已給出，不計入總詞數(shù);

2.文中不能出現(xiàn)考生的具體信息;

3.詞數(shù)100左右。

Desmond Tutu, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, once said, “Your family are God's gift to you, as you are to them.” It tells us that

答案：

Desmond_Tutu,_winner_of_the_Nobel_Peace_Prize_in_1984,_once_said,_“Your_family_are_God's_gift_to_you,_as_you_are_to_them.”_It_tells_us_that without parents, we would get lost when we grow up; without us, parents would feel sad and lonely.

I'm the apple of my parents' eyes. As a pupil, I couldn't remember English words, often failing exams. So bitter was the feeling of being defeated that I thought of giving up. To encourage me, my parents told me to fill a glass with rapid running water. Unexpectedly, I found however hard I tried, my glass was only half full. Only then did I realize that learning is a process in which I should be patient enough. With their help, English has become my strength now.

No doubt both parents and children are important to each other.
