難項(xiàng)分析:
第一處:ask→asking 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。ask與letter之間是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系,故應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞作后置定語(yǔ)。
第五處:possibly→possible 考查固定短語(yǔ)。as ... as possible是固定用法,意為“盡可能……”。
第十處:will→would 考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣。wish后接賓語(yǔ)從句,要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,且此處是表示對(duì)將來(lái)的假設(shè),故用would。

Leila's Hair Museum
Before the invention of photography, people kept memories of loved ones by creating mementos (紀(jì)念物) using human hair. In 1986, Leila Cohoon opened a museum in Independence, Missouri, to show her collection of more than 2,000 pieces of hair-based art collected over 30 years. Billed as the only hair museum in the world, it includes more than 600 braided hair wreaths (花環(huán)) and 2,000 pieces of jewellery dating back to the mid-1600s. “My museum is filled with other people's families,\” Leila says. “It tells a story.\”
International UFO Museum and Research Center
On July 7, 1947, a farmer discovered mysterious metallic debris (金屬碎片) in his farm outside Roswell, New Mexico. Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) originally said it recovered a flying disc. The next day, RAAF changed its words: The object was a weather balloon. Stories of a UFO and a government cover-up spread. Each year, 180,000 people check out the dirt from the UFO crash site, photos, and reports about the Roswell incident.
Museum of Bad Art
Not all art is created equal. After finding an oil painting in the rubbish in 1993—the now classic Lucy in the Field with Flowers—Scott Wilson started collecting bad art. Before long, he showed his finds at the Somerville movie theater. The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) gives the public a first-h(huán)and look at some of the world's worst “disaster-pieces\”. Popular paintings include Mona Lisa, Hollywood Lips, and Drilling for Eggs. “MOBA is always on the lookout for the best of the worst,\” said co-founder Marie Jackson. “But what an artist considers to be bad doesn't always meet our low standards.\”
Mütter Museum
Welcome to the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—home to more than 5,000 brains, bones, and dead bodies! In 1858, Dr Thomas Dent Mütter gave his collection of preserved body parts, and bones to The College of Physicians to improve medical education, which led to the museum's creation in 1863. Today, Mütter Museum is the most famous medical museum in America, housing a wall of bones, and pieces of Albert Einstein's brain.

(2020·甘肅省會(huì)寧一中高三第一次月考)There was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn't want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.
The man said, “I don't sing.” But the customer was persistent (執(zhí)著的). He told the bar manager, “I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!” The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!”So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song Mona Lisa. He got lots of applause (掌聲) that night.
He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he has become one of the best-known singers in America.
You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!

篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章主要介紹了作者對(duì)跳舞的熱愛(ài)及跳舞的好處。
1.B 根據(jù)后文“We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.”可知,這里是說(shuō)在美國(guó),到處有人跳舞,故選B。
2.D 根據(jù)前一句所述Lester Bridges認(rèn)為教跳舞是非常好的體驗(yàn),再根據(jù)設(shè)空后一句“It's great to watch them.”可知,設(shè)空處在解釋Lester Bridges對(duì)教授舞蹈持積極態(tài)度的原因,即從學(xué)生的角度進(jìn)行敘述,唯有D項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境,故選D。
3.A 根據(jù)第四段中Bridges所說(shuō)的話可知,此處是通過(guò)舉例介紹人們跳舞的原因,故選A。
4.F 根據(jù)設(shè)空處前一句“They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile.”可知應(yīng)選F,即跳舞似乎完全改變了他們的心情。
5.E 根據(jù)文章前后句可知,設(shè)空前后句子的主語(yǔ)均為第一人稱(chēng),且本段敘述同一位舞蹈愛(ài)好者跳舞的經(jīng)歷及對(duì)跳舞的感受,所以E符合句式特點(diǎn)及語(yǔ)境。
Ⅲ.語(yǔ)法填空

篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹著名畫(huà)家凡·高的作品的藝術(shù)特點(diǎn)。
1.ways 考查名詞。根據(jù)different可知后面應(yīng)用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式,故答案為ways。
2.is filled 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。本句如實(shí)地描述凡·高作品的藝術(shù)特點(diǎn),應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí);句子的主語(yǔ)為His painting,且此處構(gòu)成sth. be filled with ..., 故填is filled。
3.the 考查定冠詞。此處特指凡·高的名畫(huà)《向日葵》,所以用定冠詞,故答案為the。
4.combines 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。句意:結(jié)果,這幅畫(huà)成了將生命的溫暖與悲傷的感覺(jué)結(jié)合在一起的畫(huà)作。這是對(duì)油畫(huà)《向日葵》的描述,句子用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí);此處a painting是先行詞,故此處用第三人稱(chēng)單數(shù)形式,故答案為combines。
5.most famous 考查形容詞的最高級(jí)。句意:凡·高最著名的作品《星夜》,使這種喜悅和悲傷的融合更深一步。結(jié)合句意可知,此處用形容詞最高級(jí),故答案為most famous。
6.of 考查固定詞組。be full of “充滿……”,故答案為of。
7.which 考查定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞。句意:這幅畫(huà)充滿了深藍(lán)色的陰影,代表凡·高在繪畫(huà)時(shí)所感受到的悲傷。此處是整個(gè)主句作先行詞,后面用which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句來(lái)補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明主句的內(nèi)容,故答案為which。
8.However 考查副詞。上一句中的“the sadness that Van Gogh felt”和本句中的“bright and light”在描述凡·高《星夜》的畫(huà)作特點(diǎn)上形成對(duì)比和轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,應(yīng)填However。
9.unusually 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。副詞修飾形容詞bright,結(jié)合句意可知,此處表示“異常地明亮”,故答案為unusually。
10.warmth 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。show (展示)是及物動(dòng)詞,后面應(yīng)接名詞作賓語(yǔ),故答案為warmth。
Ⅳ.書(shū)面表達(dá)
