【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了古都洛阳。洛阳拥有悠久的、激动人心的历史和诸多名胜古迹。对游客来说,洛阳是一个值得一游的城市。
（1）考查连词。when it comes to...固定短语，"当提到……时"。故填when。
（2）考查形容词。空处在句中作定语修饰cities,故用形容词attractive"吸引人的"。故填attractive。
（3）考查介词。as在句中意为"作为"。stand out as固定短语，"作为……而出类拔萃"。故填as。
（4）考查冠词。此处用定冠词,特指中国文化和历史的发源地。故填the。
（5）考查时态及主谓一致。文中客观介绍了洛阳的相关事实,用一般现在时。空格处所在句为There be句型,句中主语为no other city in China,所以be动词用第三人称单数。故填is。
（6）考查名词。根据空前的"so many"可知此处用dynasty的复数形式。故填dynasties。（7）考查非谓语动词。have意为"有"时,后面接带to的不定式。故填to offer。
（8）考查时态语态。句中的时间状语"since 2000"表明空格处用现在完成时态,且which(指代The Longmen Grottoes)与include之间是被动关系,故用被动语态。故填has been included。
（9）考查副词。空处修饰谓语动词,故用副词。故填constantly。
（10）考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,the earliest Buddhist temple与build在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填built。
【点评】本题考点涉及连词，形容词，介词，冠词，时态，主谓一致，名词，非谓语动词以及副词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇介绍类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单

4．After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
We want our children to succeed in school and, perhaps even more importantly, in life. But the paradox(悖论) is that our children can only truly succeed ________ they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that world-class figure skaters fall over more often in practice than low-level figure skaters. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most?
The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice. ________ (stretch) their limitations, they keep trying their best. They fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lower-level skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, ________ (remain) within their comfort zone. This is why they don't fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. Never ________ (fail) in practice prevents them from making progress.
________ is true of skating is also true of life. James Dyson worked through 5,126 prototypes (原型) for his newest vacuum before coming up with the design ________ made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson put ________: "You can't develop new technology unless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention."
In healthcare, however, things are very different. Clinicians don't like to admit to failure, partly because they have strongegos (自我) —particularly the senior doctors—and partly because they fear litigation (诉讼). The consequence is that ________ learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes ________ (repeat). According to the Journal of Patient Safety, 400,000 people die every year in American hospitals alone due to preventable error. ________ healthcare learns to respond positively to failure, things will not improve.
【答案】 if / when；To stretch；remaining；failing；What；which / that；it；instead of；are repeated；Until / Unless

这个道理告诉美国的医疗保健部门只有学会积极面对失败，医疗事故的情况才会好转。（1）考查状语从句。句意：但矛盾的是，我们的孩子只有先学会如何失败，才能真正成功。根据句意可知此处既可以用if引导条件状语从句，表示"如果……"，也可用when引导时间状语从句，表示"当……的时候"，故填if / when。
（2）考查非谓语动词。句意：为了突破自己的局限，他们一直在努力。根据句意可知此处表示目的，应该用不定式做目的状语，故填To stretch。

（7）考查代词。句意：正如戴森所说的：除非你测试新想法，并在事情出错时学习，否则你不会开发出新技术，失败是发明的基础。as someone puts it固定句式。"正如某人所说"表示。put it"表达......"故填it。
（8）考查介词短语。句意：结果是，医疗保健往往掩盖失败，而不是从失败中吸取教训。根据句意可知此处表示"而不是"，故填instead of。
（9）考查时态语态。句意：其直接后果是一再地犯同样的错误。陈述的是客观事实，mistakes 与repeat之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，故填are repeated。（10）考查连词。句意：除非医疗保健学会积极面对失败，否则情况不会好转（直到医疗保健学会积极面对失败，情况才会好转）。根据句意可知此处表示"除非"或"直到"，故填Until / Unless。

（7）考查名词。此处考查短语take photos拍照，故填photos。
（8）考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处是填非谓语动词作后置定语，逻辑主语room）和separate之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词，填separated；又separate可以作为形容词，故此处还可理解为形容词作后置定语，故填separated/separate。
（9）考查介词。put on固定短语，“穿上”，故填on。
（10）考查时态。分析句子可知此处是定语从句的谓语动词，根据前文的said判断为一般过去时，stop by固定短语，“顺便看望/顺便拜访”，故填stopped。
【点评】本题考点涉及代词，连词，副词，时态，形容词，定语从句，名词，非谓语动词以及介词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单

Our world has seen ________ increasing number of students pressuring their parents into buying luxuries (奢侈品) just to look good before their peers. Problem is ________ is to blame, parents, students or society? Now, some schools have taken action.
To avoid ________ (show) off superiority among wealthy students, Woodchurch High School in northwestern England has recently made an ________ (announce) to refuse quality designer coats, including Canada Goose, often worth hundreds of dollars. Such coats make poor students feel bad since these items lead to inequality. "They feel left out and inadequate," ________ (say) The Independent in its last issue.
The ban has aroused nationwide debate. Some argue that we shouldn't take away parents' right to buy anything ________ (value) they like for their kids. However, most parents applaud, believing it decreases their worries on lower incomes.
Just as Libby Purves, a UK reporter, put it, how you feel at school largely affects your whole life. Columnist Michelle Singletary wrote on The Washington Post that now comes the ________ (big) chance so far to teach students ________ (understand) clothing in fact measures nothing.
Not just this. In May St. Wilfrid's Primary School banned students ________ using designer pencils in case poor students would feel ________ (look) down upon.
【答案】an；which；showing；announcement；said；valuable；biggest；to understand；from；looked
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，就某些学校进行的“避免奢侈品牌出现校园”的措施展开了讨论。
（1）考查冠词。句意：我们的世界已经见证了越来越多的学生给他们的父母施加压力，让他们购买奢侈品只是为了在同龄人面前看起来更好。a number of 固定短语，“大量，许多”，因number 之前由increasing修饰，元音音素开头的单词之前用不定冠词an。故填an。
（2）考查表语从句。句意：问题是该怪谁，家长、学生还是社会?现在，一些学校已经采取了行动。分析句子结构可知，____2____ is to blame, parents, students or society在系动词之后，为表语从句，从句中缺少主语，且之后已给出可选对象，故填which。
（3）考查非谓语动词。句意：为了避免在有钱的学生中炫耀自己的优越性，英格兰西北部的伍德彻奇高中最近宣布，拒绝购买名牌外套，包括通常价值数百美元的加拿大鹅牌外套。avoid doing，固定短语“避免做某事”，故填showing。
（4）考查名词。句意：为了避免在有钱的学生中炫耀自己的优越性，英格兰西北部的伍德彻奇高中最近宣布，拒绝购买名牌外套，包括通常价值数百美元的加拿大鹅牌外套。an+可数名词单数，所填空应用名词形式。故填announcement。
（5）考查时态。句意：《独立报》在上一期中说:“他们觉得自己被忽视了，能力不足。”分析后文last issue意为“上一期”，应用一般过去时态。故填said。
（6）考查形容词。句意：一些人认为我们不应该剥夺父母为孩子买任何他们喜欢的有价值的东西的权利。分析可知，所填词应为之前复合不定代词anything的后置定语，应用形
容词形式。故填valuable。（7）考查形容词。句意：专栏作家Michelle Singletary在《华盛顿邮报》上写道，现在是迄今为止教学生理解服装的最大机会。分析可知短语结构为the+_____ +名词单数，所填空应为形容词，根据之后有so far 作为提示，此空应用最高级。故填biggest。
（8）考查非谓语动词。句意：专栏作家Michelle Singletary在《华盛顿邮报》上写道，现在是迄今为止教学生理解服装的最大机会。teach sb to do sth.固定短语，“教某人做某事”。故填to understand。
（9）考查介词。句意：5月，圣威尔弗里德小学禁止学生使用名牌铅笔，以防贫困学生感到被人看不起。ban sb. from doing 固定短语，“禁止某人做某事”，符合句意。故填from。（10）考查非谓语动词。句意：5月，圣威尔弗里德小学禁止学生使用名牌铅笔，以防贫困学生感到被人看不起。feel 为系动词，相当于be，之后可接过去分词，可构成被动语态。look 与主语之间为被动关系，应用过去分词形式。故填looked。
【点评】本题考点涉及冠词，表语从句，非谓语动词，名词，时态，形容词以及介词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
