语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了瑞士没有发明手表却以手表而闻名于世的原因。
1．for be famous for是固定搭配，意为“以……而著称”，符合语境。故填for。 2．was brought 根据句意可知，这里有一个故事，讲的是手表是如何被带到瑞士的。故事讲述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时，且bring这一动作与主语“the watch”之间构成被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动式。故填“was brought”。
3．an 根据上下文语境可知，此处“Englishman”是第一次提到的名词，且表示泛指，应用不定冠词；且Englishman的读音以元音音素开头，故用an。
4．called 根据语境可知，一个英国人去意大利，途中他留宿在瑞士一个叫作Geneva的小镇。因为call与“Geneva”之间为被动关系，所以此处应用call的过去分词形式构成分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词town。故填called。
5．earliest 根据语境及空格前的“the”可知，此处应用最高级，表示这是最早款式的表。故填earliest。
6．and 根据语境可知，他想知道这是什么东西，就向这个英国人询问，此处表示因果，应用连词and连接。故填and。
7．it 分析句意可知，此处指代上文提到的“This machine”，是同类同物。故填it。 8．traveller/traveler 根据语境可知，这个旅行者把表递给了他。此句中缺少主语，
且主语是指人的名词。故填traveller/traveler。
9．to repair 该空考查句型“It's＋形容词＋for sb.to do sth.”，意为“某人做某事……”。故填to repair。
10．exactly 句意：他做了一款完全一样的表。此处应用exact的副词形式修饰形容词短语“of the same type”。故填exactly。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2017·昆明质量检测二)I was asked to be a student teacher last week. My China teacher required me to give a lesson in my class. It was a first time that I had stood before class. I was thankful for her, because I had dreamed to be a teacher all the time. Considered that the class wouldn't listen to me, I felt so nervous that I could fall asleep the night before. On the morning to give the lesson, I found it heavy to move my foot. At first, I can hardly speak fluently. Otherwise, I found myself much more relaxed gradually, because my classmates looked at me encouragingly. Finally, I finished the lesson smooth. I will remember my this experience forever.
答案：第二句：China→Chinese 第三句：a→the 第四句：for→to
第五句：Considered→Considering; could→couldn't或could后加not 第六句：foot→feet 第七句：can→could 第八句：Otherwise→However 第九句：smooth→smoothly 第十句：去掉my或this Ⅲ.书面表达

练(二) 阅读理解组合练——练短板
(限时：15分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2017·长春市高三质检)An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when they're speeding. When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed_drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets (车队)．
The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver's PDA or programmable mobile phone. The setup (机构) of the product does not need to be hooked up to a car's speedometer (速度计). In fact, it is entirely portable (手
提的). It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers. If a driver exceeds (超过) the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. He told LiveScience that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what they're now calling “an intelligent speed alert”．Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. There is also a potentially controversial future use. “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving，” Paine said. “The system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”
