9、d that her intellect is more important than her character.分析：这是一个复合句，含有两个 that 引导的宾语从句。We 是主语，taught 是谓语，两个 that 在从句中均不充当成分。译文：我们教给 Alice 的是她的潜力和她的智力是联系在一起的，并且她的智力比她的性格更重要。1D 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“but she just doesnt seem to love learning any more”和第二段中的“Id noticed the same thing about her daughter”可知，Alic

13、关系，故应填不定式的被动形式。2The majority of the interviewees _ (prefer) watching TV at home to going to the cinema.答案：prefer the majority of . 作主语时，谓语动词的数与 of 后的名词保持一致。由 interviewees 可知谓语动词应用复数形式。3It suddenly occurred _ him that he should adopt the homeless child.答案：to It (suddenly) occurred/occurs to sb. that
14、. “某人突然想起某事” 。4Whoever breaks the school rules will surely receive _ (punish)答案：punishment 句中动词 receive 后缺宾语，故应填名词 punishment 作宾语。5We should not have _ (race) discrimination.答案：racial 句中缺少一形容词来修饰名词 discrimination, 故填 racial “种族的” 。6She became the first black woman _ (elect) to the Senate.答案：to be el

41、an remember.”可知，书信是作者生活中不可或缺的一部分，对她来说，只要是信就好，无论多短或多不整洁，所以选 D 项。3G 根据上文可知，作者和父母通信，由此可推知，这些信都是关于父母的一些生活琐事以及他们的朋友的状况的，所以选 G 项。4E 根据下句“I found that I could often express myself more easily in writing than by talking.”可推知，此处应描述书信沟通的优势，与上文的“In my youth I seemed to attract people who had to work or study away at some time and we were only able to stay in touch by letter.”呼应，所以选 E 项。5C 根据下文的“My daughter writes to me little letters，just as I did to my mother.”可知，作者自己的孩子也像作者一样继承了写信的传统，所以选 C 项。
