【語篇解讀】本文介紹了冬奧會吉祥物冰墩墩和殘奧會吉祥物雪絨絨。

1.which［考查定語從句。分析可知空格處引導(dǎo)非限定性定語從句，先行詞thegiantpanda

指物，從句中缺少主語，要用which引導(dǎo)這個(gè)定語從句，故填which。］

2.isseen［考查時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意：殘奧會吉祥物選擇的燈籠被視為“豐收、溫暖和光

動關(guān)系，要用被動語態(tài)。主語TheParalympicmascotchoiceofthelantern表達(dá)的是單數(shù)意義，

謂語動詞也要用單數(shù)。全文為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。故填isseen。］

3.tolerance［考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換?？崭裉幾鼋樵~of的賓語要填名詞，故填tolerance。］

輯主語Themascots之間是被動關(guān)系，要用其過去分詞形式。故填revealed。］

6.with［考查固定搭配。詞組beassociatedwith為固定搭配，意為“與...有關(guān)”,故填

witho1

7.emphasizing［考查動名詞。aswellas后接動詞時(shí)，動詞一般要用動名詞形式，故填

emphasizingo］

8.those［考查代詞。句意：這兩個(gè)吉祥物結(jié)合了中國傳統(tǒng)文化和現(xiàn)代國際風(fēng)格的元素，

并著重強(qiáng)調(diào)了冰雪運(yùn)動以及所在城市的特征。根據(jù)句意，空格處的意思是“特征”。前文已經(jīng)出

現(xiàn)過characteristics,所以要用一個(gè)代詞指代，characteristics是復(fù)數(shù)意義，所以用代詞thoseo

故填thoseo］

9.vividly［考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾動詞show要用副詞，故填vividly。］

10.a［考查不定冠詞?？崭裉幮揎椕~ambassador,ambassador是可數(shù)名詞，所以要

【語篇解讀】本文作者講述了母親的英語不好，在美國常受人欺負(fù)，也令作者尷尬。

但后來，在作者看來，正是母親的語言才教會我如何看待事物，如何表達(dá)思想，了解世界。

A［細(xì)節(jié)理解題。主要信息點(diǎn)在第一段。由第一段第一句和第二段第一句，以及下文中

didnotgivehergoodservice,pretendednottounderstandher,orevenactedasiftheydidnothear”

可排除選項(xiàng)B和C。由這些信息可以推斷出，是因?yàn)樗挠⒄Z講得不好店里的人欺侮她，而
