One student took a box of chicken to class.Another carried on a cell-phone 36 and still another whistled loudly every time the 37 turned his back.Reform school?No.College.

More and more,professors say,they are coming across 38 students in their classrooms.Many of today’s young scholars（学者）arrive late,leave 39 ,talk loud or take care of personal 40 such as paying bills during class.Why are the students behaving badly?“Because they can,”said a student of University of North Texas.“A lot of the time,the professors let them get 41 with it.”

Some educators say it is time to bring politeness back to their classrooms-and even 42 taking some of the blame for bad behavior.They say that rude students are by no means the majority but that one of them can ruin an entire 43 .

47 will behave more politely.

Like many 41 parents，my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 42 a great deal．When I was sixteen，for example，after I finished high school and before I entered university，I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 43 .My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age，but my father felt that it would be a great 44 for me．In the end，my father won the 45 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France，my mother’s home，where l had many uncles，aunts and cousins 46 through the country who could 47 shelter and help if I needed them．

Three years later， my younger brother decided to 48 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean．Again my mother was very worried and not 49 to see my brother leave school，but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 50 year working his way on trains and ships to 51 passage to different ports and cities，and discovering many fascinating places and people．

These kinds of experiences are probably 52 for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common． Most parents start 53 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves．By the time they have finished high school，many American kids have already had 54 jobs，traveled around the US or other countries on their own，have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future 55 ，and so on．

完形填空(共20小题；每小题1．5分，满分30分)

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36--55题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”，故事生动、感人，极富吸引力。

记事性记叙文相对而言，难度不大，考生容易把握文意，通过理解主题句，按照记叙文的基本要素理清文章的主题、背景、时间、地点、人物、事件经过等，把握文章的发展方向，就能顺利达到“完形”的目的。

解题指导：

36. B only to do sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。 realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现， 看出”。

37. A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断，选择A项。

38. D 从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。

39. A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。

40. A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears。

41. B 从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。

42. B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘（土），挖”；dig through“（为找……）在……里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出” dig into“钻研”。

43. D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。

44. C Come on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！，来！”，可用Come, Come,代替。

45. D 从词义上判断one line“一句话（台词）”，A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words 是正确的。

46. A “介词+反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself独自地，亲自；by oneself单独地；of oneself自行地，自动地；to oneself 对（着）自己。

47. C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living ，alive 。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”，又如：I can’t believe my first teacher is still living。alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应。lively“生动的，活跃的”。

48. D “在第38小时的时候，……”，序数词之前要用定冠词。

49. B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “（各种）声音” ；voice “（人们说话的）嗓音” noise“（不悦耳的）嘈音”；tone“（人们说话的）语气，语调”。

50. B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would +动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。

51. A 从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救。”是条件状语从句，应该用if 引导，然而选项中没有if，when与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。

52. C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are … left. “还有……剩余下来”。

53. C 14 …out of 33 意为：33人中有14人活下来。out of “从……里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。

54. D 从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room; make space 意为“（有意识地）为……腾出空间”。

55. A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” Or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 36 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 37 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 38 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 39 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 40 I, consider this 41 .

We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 42 nonsense（胡闹）. As an old saying 43 : “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not 44 anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that 45 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 46 about Beckham’s good looks.

If we close our eyes, 47 in deep thought, we can find that the things 48 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 49 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial（表面的）things, 50 we will find that we have not really gained anything 51 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant（愚昧无知的） 52 we realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great 53 . If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 54 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible (明智的), mature, and intelligent we have 55 .

36.A. to B. on C. in D. at

37. A. learn from B. learn C. know D. know about

38. A. rather than B. except for C. except D. apart from

39. A. with which B. about that C. about which D. which

53. A. joy B. progress C. effort D. work

54. A. cares B. pains C. worries D. minds

本文是一篇具有一定哲理和教育意义的、夹叙夹议的议论文。文章通过讲述“盲目追星”这一事例，阐明了“看问题不要只看表面，而要‘Go Deep’注重内含”这一论点。

近几年高考完形填空题多采用这种体裁，必须引起高度重视。这类短文常常引用某一具体事例加以阐发，分析事物的发展方向，从而得出结论。文章的结构严谨，逻辑性较强。对学生的语篇整体理解能力和连贯思维能力有较高的要求。

解题指导：

36.A 介词的固定搭配，“在某种程度上”。

37.D know about “了解”从下文中也能找到相同的短语。

38.D apart from “除……外，还有……”，具有“附加性质”。 其他选项具有“排他性质”。从上文中也能找到相同的短语。

39.C 此题为“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句，about 与be uncertain搭配。

40.B 从上文中的we all判断，“不仅仅是我，还有我的朋友”。

41.A 从结构上判断，此句含有宾语和宾补结构，宾语为this，后用单数。从下文的意义上判断，为“生活中的乐趣之一”。

42.C 否定句中用or连接。“不要达到疯狂和胡闹的程度”。

43.D “正如俗语所说的”，此四个选项都有“说”之意，然而它们都有自己的搭配，A. speaks“说语言，演讲”；B. talks “交谈”；C. tells“告诉”；如用says是正确的，此题中的goes与says同义。

44.B judge…by… 或judge… from…“根据……判断”，从上句中能找到相同的意义。

45.A “是一个人好的品德和贡献才得以成为明星”。make 之后接复合宾语。

46.D 从上下文意义上判断，“在外貌上要少说”。

47.C 从句子结构上分析，用现在分词形式作伴随状语。

48.A 从句子结构上分析，此处为定语从句，that代替先行词things，所以谓语用复数形式，关系代词在从句中作主语，that 不能省略。

49.B 此句的句子结构较复杂，主语是前面的the things ，此题要填谓语动词，由于主语和谓语之间有一个定语从句，造成了句子的复杂性。意义为“……有明确的意义”。

50.D 从意义上判断，“如果我们不注重内含，满足表面的东西，迟早会发现我们将一无所获”。

51.C 从句子的连接上分析有“因果”关系。

本文是一篇议论文。作者围绕“努力工作有益于身体健康”这一论点进行展开。

体裁为纯议论性的完形填空题也是高考命题的一大趋势，对考生来说，这类试题有一定的难度。解题时不仅要注意句子中的词语搭配，更要从整体上把握文章的结构，按照文章的行文逻辑进行合理的推断。如本题中的第2、6、7、12、13、19小题。

解题指导：

36. B 从文章的主题句Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.分析，可得出“职业妇女比家庭主妇更健康”。A项为语法错误。

37. C 根据上一句进行逻辑推理，“没有工作的人比有工作的人身体差”。

38. A 从结构上分析，在宾语从句中又有一个时间状语从句。意为“研究表明当失业率上升1%，死亡率相应上升2%。”

39. A 动词短语意义的区别是完形填空的常考点，考生须平时注意积累。come down to“归结为”；equal to“等于”；add up to “合计”；amount to“总共到；相当于”。

40. D 此题的干扰性较大，需从意义和结构两方面进行分析，A项“不填”似乎有可能，但从结构上推敲，显然不符“keep sb. + adj.”结构；再从意义上分析，可排除B、C项。此题的意义为“使人们免遭孤独和寂寞”。

41.D 从下文…and lonely when they have nothing to do进行逻辑推理，意义为“没事做的人会感到unhappy, worried and lonely”。

42.A 从上下文逻辑上判断。“最快乐的人是那些大忙人。”

43. D 从下一句分析，意为“工作当作人与现实生活联系的桥梁”。

44. B 从意义上判断，“通过工作人们相互联系（接触）”。

45. A means“意味着”。

46. D 从意义上分析，A、C项不符合上下文的逻辑关系，B项过于严重，还达不到“死亡”的程度。

47. A 从文章的篇章结构上分析，上文讲述的是工作给人们带来的益处，下文还是讲述这方面的内容，属“递进”的关系，而不是“转折”的关系。所以选A。

48. B 从意义上判断，此题必须同前面的a sense of fulfillment（充实感）意义相类似。所以选B项，意为“成就感”

49. C 从下文的his writing可判断出答案。

50. C 根据医生从事的工作性质可断定是“成功地为病人动手术”。

51. B “老师看到学生成长”，主要表示在知识、阅历上的长进。

52. D beyond words“无法用语言表达”；in a word“简言之”；without a word “二话没说”； at a word“反应迅速地，立即”。

53. A 从语法结构上分析，conclusion之后为一个同位语从句，根据同位语从句的特点，that不能省略，也不能用which和what。

54. D 从全文意义上分析，“工作越多，人就会越高兴、越健康”。而不是“越寂寞、越虚弱”。从句子结构上分析，此题含有一个“the more … ,the more…”句型。

55. A 从句子结构上判断，此句为三个谓语动词并列。同时注意修饰动词要用副词well，不能用形容词good。

阅读下面的短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.

All the friends invited were a little 36.It s not that Ben is unsociable,or a bad cook,but it’s just that he never 37 more than he has to.So how come he was inviting us round for a meal?Had he bought something 38 for his friends?He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 39 table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the 40 for my friends!”said Ben.We all sat down and looked 41 at each other—what was he 42?

Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a 43 of carrots,potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben.The next 44 was also a little strange 45 we didn’t quite know what it was again.It’s just another mixture of vegetable.

As we ate we chatted and finally the 46 turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe(食谱) for this,”asked Marina,“or did you 47 it up?”Ben put his fork down.“What I cooked 48 what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s 49 choice in what you can find 50 supermarkets,”he replied.

51 that we had all finished the food,Ben decided to tell the truth.He had read recently that supermarkets usually 52 away 5 percent of their food every day.So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins.There he found food that was slightly out of 53,boxes of throw away vegetables and fruit.

So Ben had 54 provided a decent meal for his friends,and made us away of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food,but the amount of food thrown away in enough to 55 millions of people.

完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is　 36　 for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane　 37　 night after night. One would

38　 them to know their parts by heart and　 39　 have cause to falter（结巴）.Yet　40　is not always the case.

　　A famous actor in a　 41　 successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat　 42　 had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act，a gaoler（监狱长，看守）would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.　 43　 the noble was expected to read the letter at each　 44　 ,he always insisted that it should be written out in full.

　　One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke　 45　 his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the　 46　 of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed（使显露）the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then，the gaoler　 47　 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the　 48　and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in　

49　 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly,　50　 to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then，squinting（眯着眼看）his eves，he said,“The light is　 51　.Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler.　52　 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied，“The light is indeed dim，sir. I must get my　 53　”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s　 54　 ，the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the　 55　 copy of the letter which he proceeded（继续进行）to read to the prisoner.
