答案：

解题导语：本文为说明文，讲述了戏剧课在教育中的重要作用。作者认为，无论是成年人还是儿童，通过表演都能够建立自信，激发创造力和培养交际能力。戏剧表演课需要孩子们和他人沟通，戏剧课中的即兴创作能激发孩子的想象力和创造力。

1.A　解析：句意：学习戏剧能够开发(explore)学生的创造力……explore意为“探索;开发”; express意为“表达”;expose意为“使暴露”;experience意为“经历”。

2.D　解析：根据“and worries”可推出前面也是表示负面含义的词，故排除 B、C两项。sadness意为“伤心”;excitement意为“激动，兴奋”;happiness意为“开心”;shyness意为“羞怯”。学习戏剧可以增加自信，因此能够摆脱羞怯。故选D项。

3.B　解析：根据后面的“television”以及“These screen­based methods”可知选B项。movie意为“电影”;drama意为“话剧”;radio意为“收音机”;media意为“媒体”。

4.C　解析：根据上文的“passive”以及下文“They prevent children communicating with others.”可知，此处为消极(negative)作用。subjective意为“主观的”;positive意为“积极的”;sensitive意为“敏感的”。

5.B　解析：下文讲述了戏剧积极的影响，与上文娱乐的消极影响形成对比，故用however(然而)表转折。meanwhile意为“与此同时”;besides意为“除此以外”;therefore意为“因此”。

6.D　解析：根据上句中的“...drama puts the children enthusiastic about communication...”可知，戏剧表演可以让孩子们更多地交流联络(connect)。compete意为“竞争”;compare意为“比较”;discuss意为“讨论”。

7.C　解析：根据句意可知前后两句为因果关系，所以选as(因为)。before意为“在……之前”;though意为“尽管”;if意为“如果”。

8.A　解析：根据上文可知，戏剧表演会使孩子们更多地进行交流，增进他们的社交意识。socially意为“善于交际地，社交方面地”，符合语境。mentally意为“精神上”;physically意为“身体上”;emotionally意为“情感上”。

9.A　解析：孩子们在玩游戏时将故事和现实结合起来，所以他们在游戏中会运用自己的想象力(imagination)。determination意为“决心”;consideration意为“考虑”;communication意为“交流”。

10.B　解析：根据空前的“away from reality”和空后“their own story”可判断出，孩子们会创造(create)自己的故事。believe意为“相信”;tell意为“讲”;read意为“读”。

11.B　解析：根据句意及结构可知此处是说通过(through)戏剧这种载体，孩子们可以自由地表达自己。for意为“为了”;beyond意为“超过”;across意为“穿过”。

12.A　解析：句意：孩子们是通过理解戏剧没有最终的答案，从而知道他们的意见和贡献都是有价值的，并以此来获得自信。confidence意为“自信”，符合语境。success意为“成功”;hope意为“希望”;admiration意为“羡慕，钦佩”。

13.D　解析：此处是说他们会对很多事情和情形作出反应。respond to意为“对……作出反应/回应”;reply to意为“回复”;stick to意为“坚持”;turn to意为“转向;求助于”。

14.C　解析：entertainment意为“娱乐”;language意为“语言”;play意为“玩”。根据下文的“...other subjects such as geography, history and English...a more rounded education”可知此处讲述教育(education)与戏剧之间的关系。

15.D　解析：此处是说戏剧能够鼓励孩子们对其他学科产生积极的兴趣。encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”，为固定搭配。train 意为“训练”;persuade意为“说服”;require意为“要求”。

16.B　解析：孩子们对他们在学校里学的地理、历史和英语感兴趣了，他们就能拥有(have)更全面的教育。give意为“给”;continue意为“继续”;provide意为“提供”。

17.C　解析：根据“holding onto his parent's arm”可知此处为不愿(unwilling)他/她离去。pleased意为“高兴的”;tired意为“累的”;sorry意为“抱歉的”。

18.C　解析：看见同一个孩子面带微笑地跑进我的教室是很棒的(excellent)事情。imaginary意为“虚构的，幻想的”;ordinary意为“普通的”;odd意为“古怪的”。

19.A　解析：在戏剧中(within)，每个孩子都给予了发光发亮的机会。within意为“在……之内”;over意为“在正上方”;above意为“在上面”;after意为“在……之后”。

20.D　解析：此处是说戏剧涵盖了(covers)舞蹈、音乐、导演等方面。link意为“连接”;possess意为“拥有”;apply意为“申请;应用”。

Ⅲ.语法填空

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

(2016·山东日照高三检测)A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing 1.________ (have) a close knock on Oct.22.He was so 2.________ (absorb) in his smartphone that he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him,3.________ (throw)him to the ground.This should serve 4.________a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings，especially 5.________ crossing roads.

6.________ (lucky)，the man survived a brush with death，but the incident forced the driver 7.________ (stop)the train.An 18­minute delay followed the incident,8.________led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

Smartphone 9.________(addicted)has spread like an infectious disease.It's evident that it will do great harm to society.What's even 10.________ (bad)，some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends.

Some people blame the smartphone for the tragedy，yet in fact people's weakening self­control and self­discipline are to blame.

答案：

解题导语：如今手机上瘾现象非常严重，对人们的生活有着很大的危害。文章告诉我们是我们的自控力和自我约束力差而导致此种现象，并非手机本身的问题。

1.had　解析：考查一般过去时。根据时间状语“on Oct. 22”可知，此处是在描述发生在过去的事情，故用一般过去时。

2.absorbed　解析：考查固定短语。be absorbed in意为“专心致志，全神贯注”，是固定短语。

3.throwing　解析：考查现在分词。根据语境可知，此处表示“火车与他擦身而过，把他摔在了地上”，train和throw之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。

4.as　解析：考查固定结构。serve as意为“起作用，产生效果”，此处表示“这应该给人们起一个警告作用”。

5.when/while　解析：考查连词。根据语境可知，此处表示“尤其是当过马路的时候”，故用when或while，此处是“主语+系动词”的省略。可还原为：especially when/while they are crossing roads。

6.Luckily　解析：考查副词。幸运的是，这个男子与死亡擦肩而过，但是这个事件迫使驾驶员停下了火车。在句首应该用lucky的副词形式，即Luckily。

7.to stop　解析：考查动词不定式。force sb. to do sth.意为“迫使某人做某事”，为固定结构。

8.which　解析：考查非限制性定语从句。因为这件事耽搁了18分钟，导致路线上其他火车的运行中断了。此处用which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的“An 18­minute delay”。

9.addiction　解析：考查名词。分析句子成分可知，此处作主语，意为“手机上瘾”，故用addicted的名词形式addiction，意为“上瘾”。addict作为名词时，意为“对……着迷的人”，此处不符合语境。

10.worse　解析：考查形容词比较级。what's even worse意为“甚至更糟糕的是”，even修饰比较级，故用worse。

Desmond Tutu, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, once said, “Your family are God's gift to you, as you are to them.” It tells us that

答案：

Desmond_Tutu,_winner_of_the_Nobel_Peace_Prize_in_1984,_once_said,_“Your_family_are_God's_gift_to_you,_as_you_are_to_them.”_It_tells_us_that without parents, we would get lost when we grow up; without us, parents would feel sad and lonely.

I'm the apple of my parents' eyes. As a pupil, I couldn't remember English words, often failing exams. So bitter was the feeling of being defeated that I thought of giving up. To encourage me, my parents told me to fill a glass with rapid running water. Unexpectedly, I found however hard I tried, my glass was only half full. Only then did I realize that learning is a process in which I should be patient enough. With their help, English has become my strength now.

No doubt both parents and children are important to each other.
