增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加词。

Ten years ago, I was in greatly depression. I worked hard at piano learning and devoted all my spare time to learn it. But I failed to pass the B level test, that made me quite disappointed. So I turned my mother for help when I got home. Hearing of what I told her, she smiled, “Test results sometimes cannot real show your ability and level. Thus, my progress should not be judged only by one test.” She encouraged me to work hard for the next year’s B Level Test. I take my mother’s advices. Now the B level test is in front of me, and I’ve realized that the process of learning is much important.
参考答案：

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者在本文中讲述了自己曾经因考试失利而萎靡不振，后来在妈妈的鼓励下认识到一次考试失利并不能代表一个人的能力，学习的过程更重要，因而在后来的考试中取得成功。
【详解】1.考查形容词。句意：两年前，我很沮丧。根据depression是名词，通常形容词修饰名词，所以此处用形容词。故将greatly改为great。
2.考查动名词。句意：我努力地练习弹钢琴，而且把全部的业余时间都投入到练习中。devote…to doing“致力于，献身于”。to是介词。故将learn改为learning。
3.考查定语从句关系词。句意：但是我的B级考试不及格，这使我很失望。此处为非限制性定语从句，不能用that。故将that改为which。
4.考查固定搭配。句意：回到家，我就向我的妈妈求助。turn to sb. for advice“向某人征求意见”，是固定搭配。故在turned后加to。
5.考查动词。句意：听到我所说的之后，她笑了。hear为及物动词，意为“听到”。故去掉of。
6.考查副词。句意：测试结果有时不能显示你真正的能力和水平。此处要用副词修饰动词show。故将real改为really。
7.考查代词。句意：你的进步不应该由一次考试来决定。根据上一句中your ability and level可知，这里是妈妈对“我”的劝解，是以妈妈的口气说的。故将my改为your。
8.考查时态。句意：我采纳了妈妈的建议。根据本文主要使用了一般过去时，故动词要用过去式。故将take改为took。
9.考查名词。句意：我采纳了妈妈的建议。“建议”advice，是不可数名词。故将advices改为advice。
10.考查形容词的比较级。句意：我已经意识到学习的过程是更重要的。根据句意可知此处是形容词的比较级，important是多音节形容词，变为比较级要加more，而much放在形容词比较级的前面，表示程度更深。故加more。
【点睛】第2小题考查了devote…to doing用法。有关devote的三个重要搭配：
1.devote sth. to（doing）sth.把时间（钱，精力等）献给某事物。如：
They devoted a great deal of money to the improvement of the railways.
她花了一大笔钱来改善火车站的条件。
He devoted all his free time to playing the piano. 把所有的业余的时间都用来弹钢琴。
2.devote oneself to sb.（doing sth.）
（1）献身于或致力于（做）某事。如：
After he graduated he continued to devote himself to research. 毕业之后他继续致力于研究工作。
He devoted himself to helping the poor. 他致力于帮助穷人。
（2）专用于。如：
The newspaper devotes two pages to comics.这份报纸用两页版面刊登连环漫画。
（3）喜欢，热爱。如：
She devoted herself to tennis in her tennis. 她在少女时代热衷于网球。
3.be devoted to sb.（doing sth.）
（1）致力于，献身于。如：
The students are devoted to their studies. 学生们专心于学习。
（2）专用于。如：
This dictionary is devoted to explaining word usage. 这本词典是解释词的用法的。
（3）喜欢疼爱。如：
She is devoted to her children. 她疼爱她的孩子。
The couple were devoted to each other. 这对夫妻感情很好。
20. 英语课上,老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下小作文为你同桌所写，请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（^），并在此符号下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，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。
3．必须按答题要求做题，否则不给分。
I just come back from Britain last week. I was luckily enough to be one of the student from different countries to visit the UK from Feb.16 to 28. We paid a visit to many places, like London, Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British culture and history in London, where was my favorite. I also liked Oxford, in which I saw much more old buildings. The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there. The most excited thing for me in the Britain was that I made a lot of friends there.

三、 阅读理解
21. For years, people have wondered whether there's life on other planets. Scientists may now be closer than ever to answering that question.
Using powerful telescopes a team of astronomers in South America discovered a new planet, called Proxima b. It circles a star named Proxima Centauri, in the same way Earth circles the sun. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system.
Scientists believe the new planet has a rocky surface and is similar in size to Earth. More important, they've determined that the distance between Proxima b and its “sun” gives the planet a similar temperature to Earth's.This means it could have liquid water. The presence of water on a planet makes it possible for life to exist there. Scientists refer to planets like Proxima b as “Goldilocks planets” because they are not too hot or too cold, but just right to possibly support life.
Astronomers have found other Goldilocks planets in the past, but none are as close to Earth as Proxima b. Still, the new planet is 4.2 light years from Earth—that is about 25 trillion miles away.
Despite the long distance, astronomers hope to get a much better look at our new-found neighbor one day. But they'll need to wait until more advanced telescopes are developed. They may also send a robotic spacecraft to investigate the planet.
25. The writer introduces the new planet mainly by _____.
A. making the comparisons B. listing figures
C. following the space order D. giving examples
26. Planets like Proxima b are referred to as “ Goldilocks planets” because of _____.
A. the presence of water B. their temperature
C. the life on them D. their size
27. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.
A. the long distance will prevent astronomers from exploring the new planet
B. existing telescopes are still far from advanced
C. astronomers have a long way to go to explore the new planet
D. astronomers have got the whole picture of the new planet
参考答案：
25. A    26. B    27. C
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了利用强大的望远镜，南美洲的一组天文学家发现了一颗名为Proxima b的新行星，它与地球非常相似。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段It circles a star named Proxima Centauri, in the same way Earth circles the sun. 和第三段Scientists believe the new planet has a rocky surface and is similar in size to Earth. More important, they've determined that the distance between Proxima b and its “sun” gives the planet a similar temperature to Earth's.以及倒数第二段 Astronomers have found other Goldilocks planets in the past, but none are as close to Earth as Proxima b. Still, the new planet is 4.2 light years from Earth—that is about 25 trillion miles away.可知作者一直把这颗新的星球和地球作比较，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Scientists refer to planets like Proxima b as “Goldilocks planets” because they are not too hot or too cold, but just right to possibly support life.（科学家们将Proxima b这样的行星称为“适居行星”，因为它们既不太热也不太冷，但刚好适合生命存在。）由此可知，像Proxima b这样的行星被称为“适居行星”是因为它们的温度，故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段But they'll need to wait until more advanced telescopes are developed. They may also send a robotic spacecraft to investigate the planet.（但他们需要等到更先进的望远镜被开发出来。他们也可能会发射一个机器人宇宙飞船去探测这颗行星。）由此推断出，天文学家要探索这颗新行星还有很长的路要走，故选C。
【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。小题3，根据最后一段But they'll need to wait until more advanced telescopes are developed. They may also send a robotic spacecraft to investigate the planet.（但他们需要等到更先进的望远镜被开发出来。他们也可能会发射一个机器人宇宙飞船去探测这颗行星。）由此推断出，天文学家要探索这颗新行星还有很长的路要走，故选C。
