Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2018·江西师大附中、临川一中联考)“My neighbor doesn't speak English,but her kindness needs no translation.”
Angie Morris,an 81yearold Canadian woman who grew up in wartime Britain and now lives in Vancouver,British Columbia,was describing how her nextdoor neighbor,Ms.Wing,a 68yearold Chinese woman,voluntarily cooks meals for her every day.She called it “the ultimate homedelivery service”.
Morris's moving firstperson narrative which was published last week by the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail,has gone popular,with more than 24,000 online reposts.
“I know what is inside the paper carrier bag,” she wrote.“A thermos with hot soup and a stainlesssteel container with a meal of rice,vegetables and either chicken,meat or shrimp,sometimes with a kind of pancake.This has become an almost daily occurrence.”
Wing started her act of kindness when she learned that Morris had to undergo heart surgery.She took it upon herself to begin feeding her neighbor,even though the two women have no way of communicating verbally.Wing speaks only Mandarin,and Morris's Mandarin is limited to ni hao(hello).
“So here we are,two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised,neither of us able to speak the other's language,but communicating one way or another(with some help from technology).The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag,handed smilingly to me by Wing,”Morris wrote.
Readers and netizens around the world have been touched by this relationship that crosses national boundaries and focuses on human kindness.
“You know that most people in this world just want to live a good life,” one reader commented.“I come from old Ireland,so I can tell you a thing or two about conflict.The point is, most people are very good with big hearts and want their children to grow up safe and in places like this country can offer.”

【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。作者和朋友去为食品储藏室购买食物时遇到了一位绅士,他在得知作者他们的意图后悄悄地为他们支付了账单。
1.be distributed [考查动词的语态。作为计划的一部分,我们购买食物并将其进行分配。food与distribute之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态,空前是情态动词will,故填be distributed。]
2.a [考查冠词。我们定期这样做——每个月的第二个星期一,on a regular basis意为“定期地”。]
3.were loading [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。当我和朋友在商店里正往购物车里装必需品时,一位绅士向我们问道。根据下文中的“we were doing our...”可知,此处表示过去某个时间点正在进行的动作,应用过去进行时;句子的主语是my friend and I,是复数概念,谓语动词应用复数。故填were loading。]
4.Why [考查疑问词。根据下文的“We explained we were doing our...”可知,这位绅士是在问“你们为什么买这么多物品”,故填疑问词Why表示“为什么”。]
5.monthly [考查词性转换。我们解释道我们正在做我们每月一次的食品杂货购物,并给他说了一些关于我们这个计划的细节。根据空前的“our”及空后的“grocery shopping”可知,此处应填形容词作定语。上文的“every month”暗示这里填monthly“每月的,每月一次的”。]
6.Saying [考查非谓语动词。逗号后面的句子主语和谓语都有,故空处所在部分是非谓语动词,此处表示伴随状况,且say与he之间是主谓关系,故用现在分词作状语。]
7.to be informed [考查非谓语动词。作者他们在柜台卸下食物结账时,意外地被收银员告知他们的账单已经被支付了。only后接不定式表示出乎意料的结果,inform与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,故应用不定式的被动式。]
8.intention [考查词性转换。根据空前的“about our”可知,此处要填名词,intention意为“意图,目的”。]
9.for [考查介词。pay for sth.是固定搭配,意为“为……付钱,负担……的费用”。故填for。]
10.extremely [考查词性转换。这位陌生人的慷慨使我们非常震惊。应用副词修饰动词,故填extremely。] 【导学号:44040156】

【答案】
Tourism is booming in Tibet.More than 6.8 million Chinese and foreign tourists the region in the first half of this year.Tourism income during that period rose to 7 billion yuan.More tourists are expected to around Tibet in the second half of this year.The region is hosting the China Tibet Tourism Culture Expo, featuring series of festivals.Currently, foreigners need a special travel to tour the region in addition a Chinese visa.They have to wait for the permit.It is cheerful the local authorities have promised to shorten the time of obtaining it.
第一处:visit→visited 考查时态。根据本句中的时间状语in the first half of this year及下一句可知,此处叙述的是过去的事情,因此应用一般过去时。故将visit改为visited。
第二处:删除on 考查介词。rise意为“增加;上升”;其后接to,表示“增加到……”。因此,on多余。
第三处:travelling→travel 考查非谓语动词。expect sb.to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“期待某人做某事”。此处用的是被动形式,故将travelling改为travel。
第四处:or→and 考查连词。the China Tibet Tourism与Culture Expo之间为并列关系,应用连词and连接。故将or改为and。
第五处:在series前加a 考查冠词。a series of为固定短语,意为“一系列”。故在series前加a。
第六处:permission→permit 考查名词。句意:目前,到这一地区旅游的外国人除了中国签证外,还需要一张特殊的旅行许可证。根据句意可知,此处指“许可证”,应用permit。permission意为“允许;许可”,为不可数名词,其前不加冠词a。故将permission改为permit。
第七处:for→to 考查固定搭配。in addition to...为固定短语,意为“除了……”。故将for改为to。
第八处:patient→patiently 考查副词。修饰动词短语,应用副词形式。故将patient改为patiently。
第九处:what→that 考查名词性从句的引导词。本句中,It作形式主语,其后的从句为真正的主语;主语从句结构完整,不缺成分,应用that引导。故将what改为that。
第十处:us→them 考查代词。promised后的宾语指代上文提到的foreigners,故将us改为them。
