C., the Folger Shakespeare Library, which houses the worlds largest collection of documents relating to William Shakespeare, is displaying a series of exhibitions.Shakespeare is probably the most famous author who ever lived and is considered a genius by most. He wrote around 37 plays and 154 sonnets(十四行诗), and his work has been translated into over one hundred languages! He penned beautiful metaphors(暗喻), serious dramas and amusing tales.Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrases. If someones behavior suggested they were not being honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called their actions suspicious. If someone was being silly and perhaps looking like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And Shakespeare called people who offered their opinions on the quality of something critics. Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give audiences their opinions of food and film. The familiar phrase break the ice es from Shakespeares play The Taming of the Shrew. The ice is broken when a difficult conversation or meeting is calmed by some basic introduction, such as a simple game.

Crimson King Maple Tree for the yard.”及下文介绍的为父母买礼物的内容可知，此处指作者认为这是一个给父母买他们欣赏的东西的好机会。deserve“值得，应得”；appreciate“感激，欣赏”；advertise“为做广告”；imagine“想象”。4C根据下文的“but all of my siblings(兄弟姊妹)agreed to give some money to buy the trees”可知，作者在上班时查看了一下枫树的价格(price)，认为它的价格比自己能支付得起(afford)的还要高一点。express“快递”。5A参见上题解析。6C从下文作者联合其姑姑来帮忙实施这个计划以及计划具体实施的内容可知，作者他们想给父母一个惊喜(surprise)。assist“帮助，协助”。7B根据上下文语境及句中的“In northern Ohio, you dont plant maple trees at Christmas”“a special Christmas in October before the ground”可知，作者他们决定在土地上冻之前让父母度过一个特别的圣诞节。freeze“结冰”符合语境。soften“变软，软化”。8A根据上下文语境可知，作者询问姑姑是否可以帮忙实施这个“骗局(trick)”。9A根据上下文语境可知，作者的姑姑提前(in advance)给作者的父母打电话说她会在周日来拜访。in time“及时”；by accident“意外地”；on

lost sometimes.You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way._1_Explore your talents.Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests.So its often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you._2_ For example，people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club，but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be.Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what youll enjoy._3_No matter how much money you make，you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate.Its important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.If youre particularly unhappy at your job，consider why._4_ If you feel your job isnt meaningful，or isnt in line with your values，consider finding another job.Experience something new.Research has shown that when were in our fort zone，we arent as productive as we are when we step just beyond it._5_ Because of that，we may react slowly to our own positive experiences.Its important to have new experiences and interactions with others，even when those are a little scary.Doing so can help you achieve more.ADo what you love.BHere are some tips for you.CRegister in a class youre interested in.DHuman adapt very quickly to positive events.EIts possible that some changes may change your feeling.FSimilar types of people may be attracted to the same activities.GTry not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life.【解题导语】人生就是不断自我提升的过程，有时我们急于取得成功，却迷失了自我。本文就如何提升自己给出了一些建议。1B上文提到你可能想知道如何用更简单的方式提升自己，下文则给出了一些建议。由此可知，设空处承上启下。B项符合语境。2F本段最后一句提到，判断你喜欢跟谁在一起有助于你了解自己喜欢什么。由此可知，F项符合语境。故选F项。3A本题考查标题句。根据该标题下的Its important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.可知，花时间做自己喜欢的事很重要。由此可知，A项(做你喜欢的事)符合语境。4E上文提出如果特别不喜欢现在的工作，考虑一下原因，下文则提出考虑换一份工作。由此可知，E项(有时候作出一些改变也可以改变你的心情)符合语境。5D本段主题是体验新事物。空格后说，正因为如此，我们可能对自己的积极的经历反应迟钝。D项(人类对积极的事件适应很快)正好解释了下文的现象。故选D项。四、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。(2018潍坊市高考模拟考试)Dear Sir/Madam，I have received the sneakers that I buy from your online shop.With the excitement，I unwrapped the package but found something wrong with them.So Im writing to inform you the problems.First，the color of the sneakers that I want are red instead of black.Second，size 41 is too large for them.That annoys me most is that there are several little stain on one of the sneakers.They really look awfully.If putting in my situation，how would you feel?Id like to change this pair for a new one and give me the money back.Looking forward to your early reply.Sincerely yours，Lin Ming【答案】Dear Sir/Madam，I have received the sneakers that I from your online shop.With excitement，I unwrapped the package but found something wrong with them.So Im writing to inform you the problems.First，the color of the sneakers that I want red instead of black.Second，size 41 is too large for . annoys me most is that there are several little on one of the sneakers.They really look .If in my situation，how would you feel?Id like to change this pair for a new one give me the money back.Looking forward to your early reply.Sincerely yours，Lin Ming第一处：考查动词的时态。根据“I have received”可知，此处表示过去的事情，因此应用动词的过去式。第二处：考查固定搭配。with excitement是固定搭配，意为“怀着激动的心情”。第三处：考查固定搭配。inform sb.of/about sth.是固定搭配，意为“通知某人某事”。第四处：考查主谓一致。本句中，主语“the color of the sneakers that I want”的中心词是“color”，因此谓语动词应用单数。第五处：考查代词。根据语境可知，运动鞋是“我”买的，所以应是对于“我”来说41号太大了。第六处：考查连词。that虽然能够引导主语从句，但不能在从句中充当成分。本句中的主语从句中缺少主语，因此不能用that来引导。名词性从句中缺少主语、宾语、表语的时候，只能用what来引导。注意首字母大写。第七处：考查名词复数。可数名词stain前面有“several”修饰，因此要用复数形式。第八处：考查形容词。句中的“look”属于感官类动词，在句子中的用法相当于系动词，因此后面应用形容词作表语。第九处：考查动词。If引导的是条件状语从句，从句省略了主语“you”和be动词完整形式为if you were put in my situation，故将putting改为put。第十处：考查连词。根据语境可知，“我”想要换一双新的，或者给“我”退款。此处表示选择关系，而非并列关系。
