Ⅰ. 单句语法填空

 

1．__Having_devoted__ (devote) almost all our time to our schoolwork in the past three months, we have almost no time for fun and play.

 

解析：考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语是we, 状语表示过去的时间in the past three months，因此用现在分词完成式。

 

2．The wetland park is __equally__(equal) attractive in spring and autumn, for the weather is pleasant in both seasons.

 

解析：考查副词。句意：湿地公园春秋两季同样迷人，这两个季节的气候都很好。由句意可知，填equally，意为“同等地”。

 

3．An increasing number of products made in China are _of_ good quality but much less expensive than those from abroad.

 

解析：考查介词。句意：越来越多的国产货质量很好，价格比进口的便宜很多。be of good quality“质量好的”。

7．In time we reached a stage __where__ we had more young readers than old ones.

 

解析：考查stage后定语从句的关系词。句意：最终我们到了一个新读者比老读者多的阶段。在定语从句中缺少地点状语，故选where。

 

8．Because of too much homework, gone are the days __when__ we can play day and night.

解析：本题考查部分倒装结构。句意：唯有找到内心的宁静，方能维持人际关系的和谐。“only＋副词/介词短语/状语从句”置于句首时，句子(主句)要用部分倒装语序。本题中，时间状语从句when you can find peace in your heart被only修饰，且置于句首，故主句用部分倒装结构。注意：如果only修饰的不是状语而是主语，则不能用倒装。如：Only he was invited.只有他受到了邀请。

 

 

13．Students should involve themselves in community activities __where__ they can gain experience for growth.

 

解析：本题考查定语从句引导词的选择。句意：学生们应该积极参与社团活动，在这些活动中他们可以获得成长的经验。分析句子结构可知，本句的先行词是community activities，将其移到后面的定语从句中为：they can gain experience for growth in community activities由此可知关系词代替先行词在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，故用where引导。
