解析

这是一篇讲述“诚实”的文章。文中小女孩参加了单词拼写比赛，在比赛中，她勇于承认自己犯的拼写错误，虽然她没有赢得比赛，但她的诚实征服了所有的人。小题1:F 根据下一句小女孩知道自己拼错了，说明裁判们也搞不清楚，而让小女孩说一下刚才她所说的内容。F符合上下文。小题2:B 上文讲述小女孩告诉裁判她拼错了，那么她会输了比赛。B符合上下文。小题3】G 上句说她输掉了这次比赛，但是她赢得了人们的尊敬。赢得了人生中最大的竞赛——人格的竞赛。故G符合要求。小题4:D 根据前两句提及她本可以说谎的，但是她没有，正如：如果你欺骗了他人，你会让你自己更便宜。故D符合要求。小题5:E 根据上文的the choice she made at the moment.说明今天所作出的选择会影响未来的自己。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“In a national spelli.....”主要考查你对 [序数词 ]考点的理解。 序数词

序数词的概念：

表示顺序的数称为序数词。如：first, cond, third, fourth。

序数词的构成与用法：

1、序数词的构成：①一般来说，是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成。   例：four＋th→fourth   six＋th→sixth    ven＋th→venth   ten＋th→tenth②下面这些基数词在变为序数词时，有特殊的变化。例：one→first    two→cond    three→third    five→fifth    eight→eighth    nine→ninth    twelve→twelfth③十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i，然后再加eth。例：twenty→twentieth    thirty→thirtieth    forty→fortieth    ninety→ninetieth④两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时，仅将个位数变成序数词。例：twenty－one→twenty－first    thirty－five→thirty－fifth    a hundred and fifty－three→a hundred and fifty－third2、序数词的用法：①序数词在使用时，一般加上定冠词。例：the first book    the cond floor    the third day    the fourth week．②序数词在多数情况下都用作定语，有的也可以作表语、主语和宾语。例：The may1st is Labour Day. 五月一日是劳动节。    My room is on the cond floor. 我的房间在二楼。    The first is larger than the con.（主语）第一个比第二个大。    Read the book from the first.（宾语）从开头读这本书。    You'll be the sixth to write.（表语）你将是第六个写的。③序数词的前面可以加上不定冠词，用来表示“再一”，“又一”的意思。例：You may have a third try. 你可以第三次尝试。

序数词知识体系：

 

约数的表达方法：

用tens/dozens/scores/hundreds/thousands/millions of 表示“几十、几百、上千、成千上万”等。 如：The boy bought dozens of pencils.       Thousands of people died in the earthquake. 注意： (A)：dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数量时，不用复数。 如：five dozen (of) eggs   五打鸡蛋    hree hundred people  三百个人

分数词的构成和用法：

1）分数词构成法：分数词（FractionalNumerals）由基数词和序数词构成，基数词代表分子，序数词代表分母。除了分子为1的情况下，序数词都要用复数形式：如：1/4：one-fourth    5/9：five-ninths    2/3：two-thirds   17/5：three and two-fifths   7/12：ven-twelfths   379/8：forty-ven and three-eighths此外还有下面表示法：如：1/2：a(one) half    1/4：a(one) quarter    3/4：three-quarters    9/4：two and a quarter    3/2：one and half     31/4：ven and three quarters
