32、ue as well as good.【答案】It is known that some students cheat in exams.It has three .First of all，there are so many exams.，the exams given are in some way.

33、arks them great pressure and make them .In my opinion，cheating in exams wrong.We should take active attitude to our studies，and try to get a mark is true as well as good.第一處：reasonreasons。考查名詞復數。根據three可知，此處應用名詞的復數形式。第二處：Beside改為Besides。考查副詞。besides作副詞講時是“除此之外”的意思，而beside為介詞，意為“在旁邊”。根據the exams前的逗號可

34、知，此處應用副詞，故將Beside改為Besides。第三處：difficultydifficult。考查形容詞。此處應用形容詞difficult作are的表語，表示“困難的”。第四處：刪除of。考查連詞。“they are too lazy”為一個完整的句子，其前應該是一個連詞，故刪除介詞of。第五處：ourtheir。考查代詞。根據上文中的“they are too lazy”可知，此處應該用their。第六處：broughtbring。考查動詞時態。全文時態均為一般現在時，本句是對客觀事實的陳述且根據and后的make可知，應用一般現在時。第七處：depressingdepressed。

35、考查形容詞。此處depressed是分詞形容詞，作賓語補足語，賓語them指人。第八處：areis。考查主謂一致。動名詞短語作主語，謂語動詞應用單數，故用is。第九處：active前加an。考查冠詞。attitude是可數名詞，且第一次在語境中出現，故用不定冠詞修飾，且在讀音以元音音素開頭的形容詞active之前，故用an。第十處：whatthat/which。考查定語從句。根據語境可知，此處應用that/which引導定語從句，在從句中作主語，修飾先行詞a mark。四、語法填空(2018沈陽市下學期高三第三次模擬考試試題)Visitors to Britain may find the m
