Ⅱ.语法填空

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。杰克小时候非常害羞，不敢在公开场合演讲。一次题为“人生中的一次大挑战”的演讲经历，帮助他战胜了胆怯，赢得了自信，并使他最终成为一名优秀的演说家。
1．terribly 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，“terrible”在句中用来修饰形容词“shy”，需用其副词形式。故填terribly。
2．staring 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“stare”在句中作“eyes”的后置定语，且与其逻辑主语“eyes”之间为主动关系。故填staring。
3．choice 考查词性转换。根据“no other”可知，空格处需用“choose”的名词形式；根据“no other＋名词单数”结构可知，应填choice。
4．lay 考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，“lie”在句中作谓语，意为“在于”，又由语境可知时态应用一般过去时。故填lay。
5．from 考查介词。根据上文“for it was not allowed to read from the paper”可知，演讲的时候不允许照着稿子念，所以本句句意为“他不得不在这么多听众面前凭借记忆来演讲”。由上句中“from the paper”可知，填介词from。
6．giving 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“give”所在部分在句中作状语，与句子主语“he”之间是主动关系，并与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。故填现在分词giving。
7．it 考查固定习语。根据上句“he found the audience applauding”可知，本句句意为“他成功了”。make it是固定习语，意为“获得成功”。故填it。
8．built 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句考查“with＋宾语＋补语”结构。因为本结构中宾语“confidence”与其补语之间是被动关系，并且补语动作已经发生，故应填过去分词built。
9．success 考查词性转换。在固定短语“on ones way to”中“to”为介词，所以此处填名词success。
10．more 考查比较级。分析句子结构可知，本句使用了“the＋比较级，the＋比较级”的结构，意为“越……，就越……”，故填more，构成“likely”的比较级。

语篇解读：学习习惯会影响学习效果，本文就如何养成良好的学习习惯给我们提出了建议。
1．saying 考查词性转换。there is a famous saying表示“有一句名言”。
2．shows 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；句子的主语为“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”，谓语动词用单数。
3．included 考查过去分词。high scores and abundant knowledge和include之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
4．to/towards 考查介词。attitude to/towards表示“对……的态度”。
5．Obviously 考查词性转换。根据语境可知，此处应用副词作状语。
6．a 考查冠词。diary为可数名词，keep a diary “写日记”，为固定短语，故应用不定冠词a。
7．writing 考查动名词。by为介词，后接动名词作宾语。
8．and 考查固定句型。这是一个固定句型“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”。
9．more 考查固定词组。whats more表示“而且”。

Dear Susan，
Thank you for your letter. Due to the fact that I am on business in another city, I couldnt reply to your letter in time. Now I am writing to tell you that my city has done to reduce traffic jams in the last few years.
First of all, two subways and some expressways have built in my city to ease the traffic pressures. Second, oneway traffic is allowing on some main streets to reduce traffic jams and accidents. Third, public transportation has been improved to make convenient for people to take buses. However, the parking fee is raised in the downtown, which helps to reduce the number of cars come in and out.
Now there are more buses and few cars in my city. The traffic is flowing smooth during the rush hour.
Can you tell me something about the traffic in your city?
Yours，
Li Hua
