【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了一个有趣的梦，他参加了一场赛跑，开始时落后，受到同学的鼓舞后奋起直追，最终第一个冲过终点，当和同学们一起庆祝时，作者醒了，发现这只是一个梦。
【详解】第一处：考查冠词。句意：昨晚我做了一个有趣的梦。此处泛指一个有趣的梦，interesting以元音因素开头，故interesting前的a改为an。
第二处：考查情态动词。句意：我跑不快，落在后面了。could是情态动词，接动词原形，故去掉run 前的to。
第三处：考查连词。句意：但是我没有灰心，继续跑。没有灰心和落在后面是转折而非因果关系，故So 改为But。
第四处：考查时态。操场上的同学都为我加油助威。此处是句子的谓语，动作发生在过去，应该用一般过去时，故cheering改为cheered。
第五处：考查形容词。深受鼓舞的我跑得越来越快，直到我赶上了其他的选手。“比较级+比较级”是固定表达，表示“越来越……”，故fast 改为 faster。
第六处：考查固定搭配。句意参考上题解析。catch up with是固定搭配，表示“赶上”，故up 后加with。
第七处：考查时态。句意：最后，我第一个到达终点。事情发生在过去，应该用一般过去时，故get改为got。
第八处：考查形容词。句意：我为自己感到骄傲。作系动词felt的表语应该用形容词，故proudly改为proud。
第九处：考查名词。句意：很多同学把我抛向空中。Many of后接可数名词复数，故classmate改为 classmates。
第十处：考查代词。句意：就在那时我醒了，发现自己还在床上。此处表示“我自己”，故me改为myself。
20. 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。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：在错的词下面画一横线，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。

参考答案：

文中作者向外国朋友介绍了汉语成语大赛的安排和注意事项。
1.考查主谓一致。句中是倒装句，主语是what you are supposed to know about，句子做主语谓语动词用单数，故are→is.
2.考查动词时态。此处是一般将来时的被动，结构是：will be +过去分词，hold的过去分词是held，故hold→held.
3.考查介词。July 15, 2018是具体的某一天，表示在具体某一天介词用on，故in→on.
4.考查副词。此处修饰动词used用副词，指错误使用，故wrong →wrongly.
5.考查动词不定式。“要求某人做某事”是require sb.to do sth.此处是被动形式，要用被动形式，故say前加to.
6.考查非谓语动词。介词by后用动名词作宾语，故guess →guessing.
7.考查代词。此处表示“我必须提醒你的事”，不表示原因，故why →what.
8.考查动词用法。remind sb. of sth.“ 提醒某人做某事”，此处是remind sb.+that从句用法，后面直接加从句。故去掉of.
9.考查名词。此处指所有的语文老师们被邀请作为裁判，judge “裁判” 是可数名词，用复数形式。故judge →judges.
10.考查形容词。此处修饰名词performance用形容词，指出色的表演，故excellence →excellent.

22. We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. ＂Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,＂ he explains. ＂The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.＂
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. ＂It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,＂ says Dunn. ＂But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.＂
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. ＂Small talk is the basis of good manners,＂ he says.
13. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Addiction to smartphones.
B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.
C. Impatience with slow service.
D. Absence of communication between strangers.
14. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?
A. Showing good manners.    B. Focusing on a topic.
C. Relating to other people.    D. Making business deals.
15. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?
A. It improves family relationships.    B. It makes people feel good.
C. It matters as much as a formal talk.    D. It raises people’s confidence.
参考答案：
13. D    14. C    15. B
