(限时：45分钟)

Ⅰ.语法填空

(2016·山西省考前质检)As a man was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope __1__ (tie) to their front leg. No chains, no cages. __2__was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break __3__from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt __4__ (get) away. “Well，”__5__ trainer said, “when they are very young and much __6__ (small), we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe the rope __7__ still hold them, so they never try to run free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but __8__ they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life __9__ (hang) onto a belief that we cannot do something, __10__ (simple) because we failed at it once before? Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，通过大象被绳子拴住却不挣脱的现象告诉我们：不要固步自封，不要因为担心失败而放弃拼搏。

1．tied 大象仅由一根系在前腿的小绳拴住。rope和tie之间是动宾关系，故此处用过去分词表被动。

2．It 显而易见，大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子。分析句子成分可知，It在句中作形式主语，that引导的从句是真正的主语。

3．away break away from ...“从……突然挣脱，从……逃脱”。

4．to get 他看见附近有位驯兽师，就问为什么这些动物只是站在那里而不试图逃跑呢？make an attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”。

5．the 这位驯兽师说：“当它们还年幼、较小时，我们使用同样大小的绳子拴住它们。”此处用定冠词the表示特指。

6．smaller much修饰形容词比较级。

7．can 当它们长大时，它们就习惯性地认为绳子依然能够拴住它们。此处用情态动词

can表示一般的能力。

8．because 这些大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子，但是因为它们认为不能，所以它们就待在原处。

9．hanging 此处应用现在分词作伴随状语。

10．simply 仅仅是因为我们曾经失败过吗？此处应用副词作状语。

Ⅱ.短文改错

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。来自艾奥瓦州的一家电台每逢圣诞节都会帮助听众实现圣诞愿望。上周，电台收到了一个与众不同的请求。一位叫做 Brenda Schmitz 的女士，来信提出了三个圣诞愿望。

1．A.praise B．send
