As Confucius once said,“At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”? 答案及剖析: 1.painting　考查非谓语动词。spend time doing sth.花费时间做某事。 2.actually　考查副词。此处修饰动词began,应用副词形式。 3.influenced　考查非谓语动词。从句意可知我的画风受两位画家影响。由介词by可以看出,句子主语与influence之间为被动关系,故用过去分词。 4.who　考查连词。分析句子结构可知,此处为非限制性定语从句。修饰先行词Andrew Wyeth,在从句中充当主语,故用who。 5.painted　考查动词时态。该动作与下文的tried并列,表示过去发生的动作,应用过去时。 6.types　考查名词。type为可数名词,因其前有many other修饰,故用其复数形式。other types “其他类型”。 7.my　考查代词。修饰名词choice,应用I的形容词性物主代词形式。 8.best　考查形容词的最高级。此处为固定短语,try one’s best to do... “尽某人最大努力做……”。 9.a　考查冠词。此处修饰art shows,表示“在许多画展中展示我的画”。a number of许多,大量。 10.what　考查名词性从句。引导词what在此引导名词性从句,作do的宾语。 Ⅱ.阅读理解 A (2017四川资阳高考模拟) Are you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land?
