试题情况：
用单词的适当形式填空
难度：中等
小编建议：
容易混淆的名词
1.silly/stupid/foolish
三个词都含有“蠢”的意思,但略有不同。
stupid所表达的程度最强,指智力、理解力和学习能力差;
silly指头脑简单、傻头傻脑,使人觉得可笑,带有一定的感情色彩;
foolish是普通用语,尤其是在口语中广泛使用。如:
He is stupid in learning math.
他学数学很笨。
Stop asking such silly questions.
别再问这样傻的问题了。
You are foolish to throw away such a good chance.
你真蠢,丢掉这么好的一个机会。
2.instead/instead of
instead/instead of
instead是副词,一般放在句首或句末。
而instead of 是介词短语,表示“代替”时, 含有“对比”的意思,其后常跟名词、代词或v-ing形式。如:
Jack didn’t study law. Instead, he decided to become an actor.
杰克没有学法律,而是决定作一名演员。
If you can’t go to the meeting, I can go instead.
如果你不去开会, 我可以(代替你)去。
Could I have tuna instead of ham?
我能否要金枪鱼而不是火腿？
Miss Wang is ill. I’ll teach you instead of her.
王老师病了,我代替她给你们上课。
We walked down the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
我们走着下楼梯而没有乘电梯。
真题模拟：
1、Rene Haggerty, 13, was awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her work collecting discarded batteries which ____________(pollute) water.
2、There she saw an exhibit about how chemicals in old batteries __________(harm)the water of Lake Erie.

4.Once you_____(make)a promise,you must carry it out.
5.It_____(snow)as the team made its way to the front.
6.As we all know,lessons_____(learn)easily are soon forgotten.
参考答案
1 had polluted.因为动作发生在was awarded 之前,表示过去的过去,所以要用过去完成时态.
2 harm表示一种现象,所以用一般现在现在时态.
3.tired 前面有了be 动词,后面不能用动词原形, be tired 表示疲劳的,累的意思
4.have made 用完成时态表假设,翻译:一旦你许下承诺,那你就要实现它
5.was snowing 过去进行时，表示状态,翻译: 当队伍向前走的时候,天正在下雪.
6.learnt 因为后面已经有动词出现了,这里不能用动词原形,所以使用过去分词作形容词来修饰lessons,相当于:lessons (which are) learnt easily are soon forgotten .翻译:据我们所知,容易学习的功课很快忘掉.
