[2021·都江堰模拟]Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages; they picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.
Many of those who have had, as we say, all that this world can give, have yet told us they owed much of their purest happiness to books. Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books. He says, “If anyone would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading.” Precious and priceless are the blessings which the books scatter around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits, through the most charming regions.
Without stirring from our firesides we may wander to the most remote regions of the earth, or go up high into fields where Spender's shapes of unearthly beauty flock (人群) to meet us, where Milton's angels bell in our ears the choral hymns (赞美诗) of Paradise. Science, art, literature, philosophy, —all that man has thought, all that man has done, —the experience that has been bought with the sufferings of a hundred generations, —all are gathered up for us in the world of books.

Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middleclass family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father's death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled
B．love reading books D．write the biography
答案：B 推理判断题。本文通过讲述书对咱们的重要性来鼓励咱们酷爱念书。故选B
O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written
an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律)．
John Keats' next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following
Endymion, however, he tried something more narrativebased and wrote Isabella. During
this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.

Ⅲ.短文改错
[2021·山西太原一模]As is known to we all, America's national pastime is baseball. It has played in this country since the first settlers arrive. It was a national ball what was liked by many Americans at that time. Although baseball possibly developed from an English game, it is now thought of like an American sport. From the Little League to the Major League, player of all skill levels enjoy testing their power on the “Field of Dreams”. Famous players, exciting music but the standard stadium food of hot dogs, popcorn and peanuts are popularly among Americans. In a fact, Americans make go to the baseball game a favorite summer outing for many Americans nowadays.
答案：
As is known to we all, America's national pastime is baseball. It has ∧ played
①us
②been
in this country since the first settlers arrive. It was a national ball what was
③arrived
④that/which
liked by many Americans at that time. Although baseball possibly developed from an English game, it is now thought of like an American sport. From the Little League
⑤as

⑥players
“Field of Dreams”. Famous players, exciting music but the standard stadium food
⑦and
of hot dogs, popcorn and peanuts are popularly among Americans. In ＼a fact,
⑧popular
⑨
Americans make go to the baseball game a favorite summer outing for many Americans
⑩going
nowadays.
1．we→us 考查代词。代词置于to后作宾语，应用宾格形式。故将we改成us。 2．played前加been 考查动词的语态。主语It指代baseball，与play之间为被动关系，应用被动语态。故在played前加been。
3．arrive→arrived 考查动词的时态。此处表示“自从第一批移民抵达后”，动作发生在过去，因此since从句应用一般过去时。故将arrive改成arrived。
4．what→that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。此句为含有定语从句的复合句，先行词为ball，指物，在从句中作主语，因此，应用that或which引导该从句。故将what改成
that/which。
5．like→as 考查介词。按照句意“虽然棒球可能由一种英国运动发展而来，但它此刻被视为一项美国运动”可知，此处表示“作为”，应用介词as。like作介词，意为“像”。故将like改成as。
6．player→players 考查名词的复数。按照其后的代词their可知，此处指不止一名运动员，因此player应用复数形式。故将player改成players。
7．but→and 考查连词。“the standard stadium food of hot dogs ...”与文中提到的“Famous players, exciting music”之间为并列关系，作并列主语，因此应用连词and连接。故将but改成and。
8．popularly→popular 考查形容词。are为系动词，其后接形容词作表语。故将popularly改成popular。
9．删除a 考查固定短语。in fact为固定短语，意为“事实上；实际上”。故删除a。 10．go→going 考查非谓语动词。此处为“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，故用动名词形式作宾语。故将go改成going。
