考查状语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导时间状语从句，故用when，意为“当……时候”。2．a 考查冠词。此处表泛指，表示“一名毕业生”，故用不定冠词a。3．on 考查介词。由句中的“concentrate”可知，应填介词on，构成动词短语concentrateon...“专心于……，把思想集中于……”。4．would 考查情态动词。根据语境，此处指“每当我试图打开书学习的时候，眼泪就会模糊我的视线”。would“总会”符合语境。5．hadsent 考查动词的时态。send是发生在reminded之前的动作，表示“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。6．or 考查连词。or在句中连接了两个疑问句，前后两个句子的意义相反，因此指在两者之间的选择。7．saying 考查非谓语动词。“saying＋从句”在句中作伴随状语。主语I与say是逻辑上的主谓关系，且say和句子谓语wept表示的动作几乎同时发生，因此用现在分词。8．encouragement 考查词性转换。根据语境及空前的“the”可知，应用encourage的名词形式encouragement。9．further 考查词性转换。由本句中的“completemygraduation”可知，作者会继续学习下去，应填表抽象意义的further“更进一步地”。10．who/that 考查定语从句的引导词。空处引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词是thisgentleman，故用who/that。三、完形填空。Wehaveallheardofgiantpandas,andknowthattheyareendangered.Whenonehasbabies,itmakesnationalnews__1__，andpicturesoftheirbabiesare__2__circulated.Butitnowseemsthatthegiantpandaisnot__3__ofitself.Thelovelyanimalshave__4__aclassictestofselfawareness.Theycannot__5__themselvesinthemirror.Researchersusethemirrorrecognitiontestto__6__whetherchildrenoranimalshavea__7__ofselfawareness.Inthetest,ananimalispresented__8__amirror.Researchersthenwatchtosee__9__itnoticesamarkonitsface,whichisonly__10__inthemirror.Ifthe8\nanimalnoticesthemark,itoften__11__it.Humanchildrenoftenpassthetestwhentheyareonlytwoyearsold.Manyotheranimalshavepassedthemirrortest,includingmonkeys,Asianelephantsandevenpigeons.Butwhenresearcherstestedpandas,__12__ofthemdidthesamethingasthoseanimalsdid.__13__，eachpandabehavedasiftheir__14__inthemirrorwasanotherpandaaltogether.Theyactedasiftheywere__15__bywhattheysawinthemirror,scratchingtheirfeetandwalking__16__.The__17__ofthisresearchwillhelpdesignbetterareasforanimalsincaptivity(圈养).Forexample,onedirectionalglasssometimesusedintheareasmay__18__pandastofeelstressedwhentheyseetheirownimageinthe__19__.That'sbecausetheymightbelieveittobeanotherpanda,__20__themselves.1．A.papers

考查不定代词。在否定句中，一般用anything，故改为anything。第五处：Besides→However 考查副词。besides“此外”，表达递进关系。而此处为转折关系，故用副词however。第七处：got→getting 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，get与其逻辑主语Dad之间是主谓关系，且getanidea和句子谓语said所表示的动作几乎同时发生，故用现在分词。五、七选五。8
