对…微笑。“总统对我微笑”符合语境。59．B总统在那里给大众做“演讲”。60.B我被极大地鼓励，故填“greatly”语法填空61．iscovered考查动词的语态。Thebeach与cover构成动宾关系，且句子描述的是现在的情况，故谓语动词用一般现在时的被动语态。62．fondof。考查befondof的用法.63．tocalm考查非谓语动词。beabletodosth，是固定短语，意思是“能够做某事”，故这里应填动词calm的不定式。64．entirely。考查副词：所填词修饰形容词new，故填entire的副词形式entirely.65．with考查介词。with在此处表示“和；同”。句意为：然后“我”跳进深水中去和漂亮的鱼儿们一起游泳。66．best。考查形容词的最高级。根据句中短语intheworld以及定冠词the可知，这里应填形容词good的最高级。67．where。考查定语从句。所填关系词在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where：68．myself考查代词：enjoyoneself，是固定短语，故填I的反身代词myself。69．dreams考查名词：oneof后接可数名词复数，意为“……中的一个”，故填dreams.70．down。考查固定短语settledown，意为“定居"。短文改错Deareditor,IamLiMing,aseniorhighschoolstudent.Iamwritingtogivesomesuggestionson-13-\nsavingfreshwater,sofreshwaterisgettinglessandlesswiththepopulationgrowquickly.because/asgrowingWhat'sworse,mostfarmerswaterourfieldsusingthetraditionalway,thatcausesawasteoftheirwhichwater.Frommypointofaview,weshouldusesomegoodmethodtosolvetheproblem.Imethodsadvisedthatmoderntechnologyshouldbemadefulluseoftoimprovingthewateringsystem.adviseimproveItisaveryimportantlywaytosolvetheproblem.Onlyinthiswaycanwesave∧muchwaterimportantasaspossible.Bestwishestoyou!Yours,LiMing参考范文DearMike,IamgladtoknowthatyouareinterestedinlearningChinese.Iamwritingtogiveyousomesuggestionsonhowtolearnitwell.First,youcangotoChinatownbecausealotofChinesepeopleliveandworkthere.TalkingwithChineseshopkeepersprovidesyouwithgoodopportunitiestopracticeyourspokenChinese.Second,youcanmakefriendswithChinesepeople,especiallythosefromBeijingwhocanspeakstandardChinese.YourChinesewillbegreatlyimprovedifyoukeepcommunicatingwiththem,suchashavingpartiesandgoingcampingwiththem.Finally,youcanalsolearnChinesebylisteningtoChineseradioprogramsandwatchingChinesemovies,whichcanhelpyoulearnaboutChinesecultureaswellasimproveyourChinese.Yours,Lihua-13-
