三、语法填空

（2014·课标全国卷Ⅰ）

Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?

In 1969, the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio. It__1__(be)unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it__2__(actual) caught fire and burned. Now, years later，this river is one of__3__most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.

But the river wasn't changed in a few days__4__even a few months. It took years of work__5__(reduce)the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is__6__(clean) than ever.

Maybe you are facing an impossible situatio n.Maybe you have a habit__7__is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don't know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don't you want a quick fix and something to change immediately.

While there are__8__(amaze) stories of instant transformation, for most of us the__9__(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be__10__(patience)．答案与解析

本文是一篇议论文。文中论述了当人们遇到看起来不可能做的事情是应该怎样做呢？

1．was根据上文提到的事情是1969年的事情，所以这里应该用过去式。

2．actually这里应该用副词来修饰动词caught, actual实际上，是形容词；actually实际上，是副词。

3．the one of＋可数名词的复数，表示……之一；the most outstanding是最高级，来修饰examples；形容词的最高级与定冠词连用。

4．or河流在几天或甚至几个月之后没有多大的改善。这里是两个时间短语表示选择关系，故用or。

5．to reduce减少工业污染和变成干净的水需要几年的工作时间。这里是句式：It takes＋some time＋to do sth.做某事花费某人多长时间，故这里应该用动词不定式，故用to reduce。

6．cleaner现在河里的水比以前更清了。根据后面的比较连词than可知，这里应该用比较级，故用cleaner。

7．that/which也许你有一个能使你的家人发疯的习惯。这里habit是先行词，which或that引导的是定语从句，并且在从句中作主语，不能省略。

8．amazing这里空格处应该用形容词，来修饰后面的名词，amazing指令人吃惊的。

9．changes对于我们大多数人来说，变化是逐渐的，需要很多努力和工作。因为这里缺少的是句子的主语，根据谓语动词are可知主语应该是复数，故用changes。

10．patient需要的是耐心。patience“耐心”是名词；因为空格前有系动词be，所以这里应该用形容词patient。

Li Hua 范文

Dear Sir/Madam，

My family are planning a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland this winter vacatio n. I've got some information about the ticket prices on the Internet and now I'm writing for some detailed informatio n.

I wonder whether children under 3 need to pay for a ticket and what is the difference between a peak day ticket and a special day ticket. Is it possible for us to get a discount if we buy tickets as a group? Can we book tickets through the Internet? Besides, I'd like to know if we are allowed to cancel our ticket bookings if we cannot make the trip for personal reasons.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours，

Li Hua
