Dear Linda,
How's it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I've been back at school 1 nearly(将近) four weeks. I'm very glad to tell you that great 2 have taken place in our school this term. First of all, the teachers ask us to "clear our plates" when having our meals and say 3 to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to 4 the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For exam- ple, we should turn off the lights when we 5 the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Our school gives each class a small garden and our class has decided to grow some vegetables in our 6 time. I think that'll be very interesting. Maybe I'll be able to post you some vegetables we've grown by 7 next time! What's more, we have only two classes in the afternoon 8 we have more time for after-school activities. I'm one of the traffic safety(安全) volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near the school and ask people to 9 the traffic rules. I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and 10 me more about your school.
Yours,
Cindy

【分析】
首先通读全文，理解这是Cindy写给Linda的信，介绍学校本学期的变化。逐个分析各空：1. 现在完成时中“for+时间段”表动作持续时间，对应nearly four weeks；2. 后文提到的光盘行动、开辟菜园等都是学校的变化；3. “say no to”是固定搭配，表拒绝浪费；4. 对应不浪费食物，需吃完点的餐；5. 离开教室时关灯，符合常识；6. 种蔬菜在空闲时间，free time是固定搭配；7. 主语是our class，反身代词用ourselves；8. 下午课少和有更多课外活动是因果关系；9. “follow traffic rules”是固定搭配，表遵守交通规则；10. “tell sb about sth”是固定搭配，表告诉某人某事。
【解析】

2. 第2题：后文提到的“光盘行动、开辟菜园、课程调整”等内容，均属于学校的变化，changes符合语境，故选A。
3. 第3题：固定搭配“say no to”意为“拒绝；对……说不”，契合“光盘行动反对浪费”的语境，故选C。

5. 第5题：根据生活常识，离开教室时需关灯，leave表示“离开”，故选A。
6. 第6题：种蔬菜是在课余的空闲时间，“free time”是固定搭配，故选B。
7. 第7题：主语为“our class”，反身代词需用ourselves，“by ourselves”表示“我们自己”，故选C。

19. there 20. where 21. With 22. to develop
23. stores 24. didn't 25. friendly

【分析】本题为短文填空，需结合语境、时态、词性、固定搭配及语法规则解题。思路：①通读全文，明确主题是家乡今昔变化；②逐个分析空格：先判断句子时态（如in the past few years用现在完成时，in the old days用一般过去时），再确定词性需求（如修饰名词用形容词，作主语用名词），最后结合固定结构（如take up doing, with the development of）和逻辑关系（转折、地点状语）确定答案；③核对答案是否符合语法和语境。
【解析】11. 由时间状语“in the past few years”可知，用现在完成时，主语My hometown为单数，故填has changed；12. 时间状语“In the old days”表过去，主语a few narrow roads为复数，be动词用were；13. 固定搭配take up doing sth（开始从事某事），故填farming；14. 并列句时态一致，前半句为一般过去时，故grow用过去式grew；15. 需形容词修饰名词streets，widely为副词，对应形容词是wide，故填wide；16. 前后句为过去与现在的转折关系，故填but；17. 此处作主语，需名词，environmental为形容词，对应名词是environment，故填environment；18. 修饰不可数名词rubbish，much/more均可，故填much/more；19. 固定结构here and there（到处），故填there；20. 定语从句，先行词park在从句中作地点状语，故填where；21. 固定搭配with the development of（随着……的发展），故填With；22. 固定搭配willingness to do sth（做某事的意愿），故填to develop；23. many后接可数名词复数，store的复数为stores，故填stores；24. 由before可知是过去的否定，故填didn't；25. 此处作表语，需形容词，friend的形容词为friendly，故填friendly。
【答案】11. has changed 12. were 13. farming 14. grew 15. wide 16. but 17. environment 18. much/more 19. there 20. where 21. With 22. to develop 23. stores 24. didn't 25. friendly
【知识点】时态辨析、词性转换、固定搭配
