2021 高考英语短文故事精读与语法填空训练（一） 一：语法填空训练 A day to remember 难忘的一天 We have all ( experience)days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but (sudden) everything seems to get out of control. What invariably happens is a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, smashing half your best crockery and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, crockery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner. Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people (recent) discovered in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour one evening two cars collided and both drivers began to argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver (follow) her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was (throw) forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry–driver who was drawing up alongside the car, pulled up all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This (lead)to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two stray dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily devoured what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days! 二：词句短语长难句释义 A day to remember 难忘的一天 We have all experienced days when everything goesgoes wrongwrong.

When they were free from work,they invited us to local events and let us know of an interesting 6 (compete)to watch,together with the story behind it.They also shared with us many 7 (tradition)stories about Hawaii that were 8 (huge)popular with tourists.On the last day of our week-long stay,we 9 (invite)to attend a private concert on a beautiful farm on the North Shore under the stars, 10 (listen)to musicians and meeting interesting locals. 参考答案： 1.so 考查副词。so...that...为固定搭配,意为“如此……以至于……”。 2.to get 考查非谓语动词。此处考查固定句型 it takes some time to do sth.。 3.of 考查介词。a pack of 为固定短语,意为“一群”。 4.who 考查定语从句。先行词 masters 指人,并且引导词在从句中做主语。 因此用关系代词 who。 5.recommended 考查动词的时态。此句为 and 连接的并列句,前后时态一致, 故用一般过去时态。 6.competition 考查名词。所填的词由冠词an修饰,故用compete的名词形式。 7.traditional 考查形容词。空格后为名词 stories,应用形容词来修饰。 8.hugely 考查副词。所填的词修饰形容词 popular,故用副词形式。 9.were invited 考查动词的时态和语态。句中时间状语为 On the last day of our week-long stay,又因为主语 we 与所给动词 invite 之间为被动关系,故用一般过 去时态的被动形式。 10.listening 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,此处做伴随状语;另外,所 填的词与下文的 meeting 为并列关系,故用动词-ing 形式。
