【2017•浙江卷】Last October ,while tending her garden in Mora ,Sweden ,Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small 10 (carrot) and was about to throw them away .But something made her look closer, and she noticed a 11 (shine) object .Yes ,there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.
Pahlsson screamed 12 loudly that her daughter came running from the house. “she thought I had hurt 13 (I),”says Pahlsson.
Sixteen years 14 (early),Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring 15 (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She supected that one of her three daughters—then ten, eight, and six —had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn't. Pahlsson and her husband 16 (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. “I gave up hope of finding my ring again," she says. She never replaced it.
Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got 17 (sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden, 18 it remained until the carrot’s leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was 19 wonder.
【答案】10. carrots 11. shiny或shining 12. so 13. myself 14. earlier 15. to cook 16. searched
17. swept 18. where 19.a
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Lena Pahlsson在花园里采摘胡萝卜时,找到了丢失已久的结婚戒指的那种失而复得心情。
10.考查名词。根据“one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring”以及“a handful of ”,故填carrots。
11.考查形容词。“she noticed a 11 (shine) object” a为冠词,object为名词,横线处应填写形容词,故填shiny或shining。
12.考查固定句式。根据“Pahlsson screamed 12 loudly that her daughter came running from the house”,so…that如此……以至于,故填so。
13.考查代词。“I had hurt 13 (I)”,主语为I,横线处为宾语,替代主语时,应用代词, 故填myself。
14.考查形容词。“Sixteen years 14 (early)”,此句为倒装句,用形容词修饰Sixteen years。故填earlier。
15.考查动词不定式。“Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring 15 (cook) a meal”,一个句子不能出现双重谓语,所以用不定式表目的状语。故填to cook。
16.考查动词时态。根据“but turned up nothing”,可知句子为过去时,“Pahlsson and her husband 16 (search) the kitchen” 故填searched。
17.考查动词。“Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got 17 (sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish”,ring与sweep之间是被动关系, 故填swept。
18.考查连词。“ 18 it remained until the carrot’s leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it”,句子结构完整, 先行词为the garden, 表示地点,故填where。
19.考查冠词。“its return was 19 wonder”,wonder是名词,was是动词,所以应使用冠词修饰名词。故填a。

Cellphones, Social or Antisocial?
【参考范文】
Cellphones, Social or Antisocial?
Cellphones, which are now universally recognized as a must, have greatly impacted us. But using our cellphones can have both a social and antisocial effect.
We are being social when we are using our cellphones to connect with others and plan social events. We may be antisocial when we use our cellphones in front of other people. Most people do not realize they are being antisocial when they are using their cellphones around others. Although cellphones can bring us great convenience, we should be wise enough to use them. Anyway, they are invented to make us social, not to keep us away from others.
