答案及解析
完形填空
36. D。她从教师工作上退了下来,然而她一直很忙。B项有一定干扰性。keep rich意思是“富有”,从后文she was even willing to work without pay.可以看出B项不合题意。
37. A。从空后的that helped other businesses find jobs for old people.可以看出,她提供的是商业服务。
38. B。从空后的By talking with them可以看出,Anna Douglas每天都与很多老年人会面,而不是观察或安慰他们。
39. A。通过与他们交谈,她认识到两件事情。接下来的两句便是她认识到的事情。recognize在这里是“认识到”的意思。
40. D。老年人有未被利用的能力。这是她积极为老年人找工作发挥他们余热的原因。其他答案不合题意。
41. B。然而老年人也有老年人的问题。A项有较大干扰性。从后文我们知道,有一位老年人不受其孙子女的欢迎,这是他面临的问题,而不是错误。
42. D。从后文She began to write a newspaper column called“Sixty Plus”,我们知道,她为国家杂志写人物故事是以前的事。
43. A。联系上下文Old people like herself.是报纸的一个话题(subject),因此其它选项不合题意。
44. A。get old在这里为系表结构,其它选项不正确。
45. C。B,D项有较大干扰性。作者举的例子说明很多老年人被其孙子女误解,而不是(他们的要求)被拒绝等。
46. A。从空后的see the truth behind a problem我们得知,Anna Douglas用的是 thinking abilities。
47. C。从下文举的例子看,她明白的是事情的起因,因此其它选项不合题意。
48. B。A项有较大干扰性。从前文我们知道Anna Douglas是靠写文章与老年人交流,而不是建立了咨询中心,因此A项不合题意。
49. C。联系上下文我们可以推知,这位老年人与其孙子女关系并不融洽,因此当他进来时,孩子们就离开。
50. C。她给这位老人建议了几种方法。
51. B。A,C有较大干扰性。从空后的 your grandchildren's world我们得知,想了解孙子女世界的一切是不可能的。
52. A。本空承接and前的分句而来,因此答案应在questioning和listening间选择,选项中没有questioning。
53. B。联系上文Say good things to them and about them.得此答案。A项有一定干扰性,空前的Never决定了此选项不正确。
54. D。stick to在这里是“固执地坚持”。A,B均有一定干扰性。联系前文Mrs Douglas认为老人应该多听听孙子女的见解,不要太固执地坚持自己的看法。 speak out意思是“说出”,give up是“放弃”,因此不合题意。
55. A。D有较大干扰性。Naturally意思是“自然而然地”,而Commonly指“通常情况下”。

36.根据上下文考查合适的动名词。从文章大意可知是希望人们有健康的生活方式,参加一些activities(第二小节中),因此选playing outside最合适。后面的reading和studying都是室内活动。
37.根据上下文考查合适的动词。上文提出了一个问题,所以选find out“发现、找到(答案)”。
38.根据上下文考查意义正确的搭配。leave…off“关掉”,这是leave复合宾语结构。
39.考查搭配。由后文的to,可见这里只能填from。
40.根据上下文考查合适的词组。这两句话讲的是参与这个活动的人数的变化,因此先说的是“一开始”in the beginning。
41.根据上下文考查意义正确的词。这句话是对前一句话的补充说明,根据后文的and in more than 12 other countries可见是对所有参与者的一个说明,用including“包括”。
42.考查符合上下文的名词。进一步陈述组织者的目的。
43.考查符合文章中心思想的词义选择。组织者的目的就是希望人们有健康的生活方式,用turn on life“点亮生活”很形象地阐明了中心。
44.考查符合上下文的名词。下文的数据明显是针对学生而言,因此用kids。
45.根据上下文提供的数据,当然看电视的时间更多。
46.考查符合上下文的词。这里表示“看电视过多”。
47.考查符合上下文的关联词。下文是对上文作更具体的说明,in fact“实际上”。
48.根据上文的grow fat,这里应该是overweight“超体重的”。overeating“吃得过多”是导致肥胖的一个方面(还有缺乏锻炼),“成长过快的”overgrown和“监督”overseeing不合文意。
49.根据上下文及搭配考查合适的动词词组。从逻辑上看首先排除result from“由于”、keep away“不接触”,再根据后面的too little exercise, and violence从搭配上排除develops。
50.根据中心思想,组织者认为从道理上说这样做“应该是”健康生活的一部分。
51.从下文来看Vespe是作为一个电视观众,即一个参与本次活动的参与者,讲自己的体会,而不是一个组织者,因此选taking part in,而participate后面需要加in。
52.结合句意考查名词引导的时间状语从句。从主句的现在进行时,可以判断选every time“每次”最合适。而every day后面要加when,this time“这次”不合题意。
53.结合上下文考查固定搭配。“产生了影响”make a difference。
54.根据句意考查名词与动词搭配。下文不是列举data“数据”具体是多少,所以不能用says或reads,应该用shows表示数据说明的情况。
55.根据上下文考查词义。从前后数字来看是在63 percent的基础上的上升,选up from。

The annual marathon in my town usually occurred during a heat wave . My job was to 36
behind the runners in an ambulance 37 any of them needed medical attention . The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes 38 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun .
“We’re supposed to stay behind the 39 runner , so take it slowly ,” I said to the driver , Doug , as we began to creep forward .
“Let’s 40 hope all the runners are fast !” he laughed .
As they began to pace themselves , the front runners started to 41 . It was then that my 42 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt .
“Koug , look !”
We knew we were already watching our “last runner” . Her feet were turned in , yet her left knee was turned out . Her legs were so crippled and 43 that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk , let alone run a marathon .
Doug and I watched in 44 as she slowly moved forward . We didn’t say a thing . We would move forward a little bit , then stop and wait for her to 45 some distance . Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more .
Finally , she was the 46 runner left in sight . Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe , amazement and even reverence (敬意) as she 47 forward with sheer determination through the last miles .
When the 48 line came into sight , trash (垃圾) lay everywhere and the 49 crowds had long gone home 50 , standing straight and ever so proud waited a man . He was 51 one end of a ribbon (带子) of
crepe paper tied to a post . 52 slowly crossed through , leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her .
I do not 53 this woman’s name , but that day she became a part of my life –a part I often depend on . For her , it wasn’t about 54 the other runners or winning a trophy (奖品),it was about finishing what she had set out to do , no matter 55 . When I think things are too difficult or too time-consuming , I get those “ I-just-can’t-do-it” , I think of the last runner . Then I realize how easy the task before me really is .

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list 21 : I was very thin; I wasn’t a 22 student; I talked too much; I was too
23 , always feeling superior to(胜过)others, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. 24 , I became very angry. I ran to my father with 25 in my eyes.
He listened to me 26 , and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder 27 you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s 28 . Go and 29 a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 30 . Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did 31 he told me. To my great 32 , I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t 33 (like being very thin), but a good number I could – and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 34 picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He 35 to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know 36 than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 37 , not just close your ears in anger, feeling 38 when something said about you is true, you’ll find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know
your affairs. Don’t shut your 39 . Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has always 40 to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

Every time I passed boys who were playing basketball, I stopped to silently watch them. I really envied them. But as a girl, I once thought that I could 36 play basketball.
I like playing basketball though I'm not good at it. I've had a basketball 37 I was a child. At first, I could play freely because no one 38 when I was just a kid. But as I grew up it seemed harder and harder for me to enjoy basketball.
At school, it was always the boys who played basketball during PE classes. The girls were 39 allowed to play volleyball or badminton.
My parents did not 40 me play basketball at home. "Basketball is not fit for girls," they said. 41 I went to play basketball with my friends, boys 42 at me on the court as if I were an alien.
I was feeling 43 and had lost hope of playing basketball. 44 , something changed the first day of high school. I made some friends who also enjoyed playing basketball. They 45 me to get back on the court.
One of them told me with a smile, "Go your own 46 , let others talk." This girl would always play basketball with me. Even the boy who sat next to me in class talked about 47 with me almost every day.
I was inspired by them. Confidence and passion 48 to my heart. I am ready to stand up and play. I will play as well as I can, 49 for me, even the sky is boundless (无垠的).
Basketball has become an important part of my 50 . I am interested in it. I watch matches and enjoy playing almost every day. Through basketball, not only do I feel happy and confident, but also 51 a lot.
I've heard the NBA star Tracy McGrady say, "Nothing is impossible." It is from an advertisement on TV. I have 52 to realize that life is just like playing basket: ball. You should have an 53 . After that, just be confident and 54 going. Never give up and you'll make it sooner or later.
I love the motto of the NBA. It can 55 my strong feelings for basketball, "I love this game!"

参考答案
36.C 上文silently watch和really envied暗示了该空应填never.下文介绍的成长过程中“我”无法享受对篮球的爱也是选择线索。
37.D
38.B 一开始“我”可以自由打篮球,因为我只是个小孩,没有人会介意。
39.A 与上文it was always the boys who played basketball形成对照,应填only,表示人们对男女生学校活动的性别刻板化印象。
40.C 在家里父母也不让“我”打篮球.A项搭配不对。
41.D
42.D 甚至当“我”去和朋友们打篮球时,男孩们也盯着“我”看(不理解),就好像“我”是个外星人似的。用stare at表示“盯着”。glare指“怒视”,不妥。glance指“瞥一眼”。根据语境,文中要表达的意息应是其他男孩不解地盯着自己。
43.B 学校不谁、家庭不让、男孩不理解使“我”打篮球的梦想根本无法实现,“我”感到心情沮丧。feel down引申为“感觉沮丧的”。
44.C 下文交待“我”新交的朋友鼓励“我”重新回到篮球场,这一转机在当时是无法预料的,故填Unexpectedly.
45.A 他们鼓励“我’回到篮球场。
46.B 走你自己的路,让别人去说吧。
47.A 本文话题是篮球与女生,因此该空应填basketball。
48.D 在朋友们的鼓励与引导下,自信、激情又回到“我”心中。
49.C
50.B 篮球已变成“我”生命的一部分。
51.C 通过篮球,我不但感到幸福、自信,而且还学到很多东西。
52.A “我”逐渐意识到生活就像打篮球。
53.B
54.C 你首先应该有一个目标,然后应自信,并且不停地走下去。
55.B 这个格言能够表达“我”对篮球的强烈感情。

We courted through college, and eventually got married. Months after our wedding I asked Dennis if he remembered the day 52 he had first asked me out.
“_ 53 bet I do,” he said. “You were always 54 in school, almost standoffish (coldhearted). I didn’t think you’d be much fun.

I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.
Let us take a 36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an) 37 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction(困扰) of TV, they might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness —are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
On evenings when such talk is 43 , families could discover more active pastimes(消遣,娱乐). Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV net works might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的). How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult.

Moths, and some other insects, cannot help flying towards a light of any kind.
The attraction seems to be too strong for them. __40____, they often 41 themselves by flying into something that is burning, such as a lighted candle. In some
countries, when such insects as flying ants become a nuisance(讨厌的东西), people 42 themselves by lighting fires at the doors of their cottages. Sometimes the insects fly into the fire in such large 43
that they put it out. In literature we often find poets warning us of the danger of being attracted by 44 or beautiful things that will destroy us.
Butterflies are admired for their 45 , though they receive very little praise for anything else. They fly 46 in the sunshine, going from flower to flower, happy all day long, leading a life of 47 .

Mary Kimble-Smith was an ordinary 12-year-old girl; ordinary, that is, in every way _36_one .She suddenly started to walk in her sleep. No one knew why this happened. The best guess _37_ to be that it represents _38_: the sleep-walker is worried. This feeling normally remains under control during _39_ hours, but at night, when the mind is in a _40_ passive mode, it _41_ to the surface and shows itself in the _42_ of physical movement.
At first, her family _43_ help from just about every doctor they could find. But _44_ of them were able to suggest a means _45_ which she could be cured. Then her parents were frightened, and they tried to wake her up. _46_, the general advice is that we _47_ not wake a sleepwalker. _48_ follows the idea that sleepwalker derives from some deep anxiety. To wake a person and bring them to a _49_ realization that they are not where they thought they were could _50_ the feelings of anxiety and perhaps _51_ reinforce(强化)the habit.
Most sleepwalkers at last stop _52_ any warning--- they _53_ do it again. In Mary’s case _54_ , she started sleep-walking soon after her twelfth birthday and was still doing it the day _55_ she died in 1989, at the age of 93.

The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 36 students’ strong interest in computers?
Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 37 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is 38 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology. 39 , views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success 40 whether they can make use of computers effectively.
Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 41 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present, 20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese - language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 42 . In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know 43 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 44 to see the policy through.
Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to 45 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.
Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 46 IT learning has just started. All teachers - including the seniors who are very 47 in teaching, who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers, will have to 48 from the very beginning. They will become 49 and their teaching performances may be badly affected.
The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have 50 all school to complete the given work. A hard - pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 51 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then 52 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his 53 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to“complete” his IT learning 54 . 55 the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.

Little Chad was a shy, 36 young man. One day he came home and told his mother that he’d like to make a Valentine for everyone in his class. Her heart sank. She thought, “I wish he
37 do that!” because she had 38 the children when they walked home from school. Her Chad was always 39 them. They laughed and 40 on to each other. But Chad was never 41 . However, she decided she would 42 with her son. So she bought the paper and glue and crayons(蜡笔). For three weeks, night after night, Chad painstakingly made 35 valentines.
Valentine’s Day 43 , and Chad was 44 himself with excitement. He carefully put them in a bag and bolted out the door. His mother decided to bake him his favorite cookies and
45 them nice and warm with a cool glass of milk when he came home. She just knew he would be 46 and maybe that would ease(减轻) the pain a little. It hurt her to think that he wouldn’t get many valentines-maybe 47 at all.
That afternoon she had the cookies and milk on the table. When she heard the children outside, she looked out the window. Sure enough, 48 they came, laughing and having the
49 time. And, as 50 , there was Chad at the back. He walked a little faster than usual. She 51 expected him to burst into 52 as soon as he got inside. His arms were 53 , she noticed, and when the door opened she choked back the tears.
“Mommy has some cookies and milk for you,” she said.
But he hardly heard her words, he just 54 right on by, his face aglow(满面红光), and all he could say was, “Not a one. Not a one.”
Her heart sank.
And then he added, “I didn’t forget a one, not a 55 one!”

Christmas was a quiet affair when I was growing up. There were just my parents and _31_. I wished that someday I’d _32_ and have six children and at _33_ my house would be full of _34_ and love.
I found the _35_ who shared my dream, but we had not _36_ the possibility of infertility(不能生育). So we asked for adoption( 收养 ) and, within a year, he arrived. We called him our Christmas boy because he came to us during that season of joy, _37_ he was just six days old. Then nature _38_ us again. Within two years we _39_
two biological children to the family- not as many as we had hoped for, _40_ compared with _41_childhood, three made an entirely _42_ crowd.
As our Christmas boy grew, he made it clear that only he had the special skill to select and decorate the Christmas _43_ each year. He started his Christmas gift list _44_ before we’d finished the Thanksgiving turkey. He encouraged us to sing songs, using our froglike _45_ comparing with his musical gift of perfect voice.
Our friends thought that adopted children were not the same and they were _46_. Our Christmas boy brought _47_ into our lives with his good cheer, his wit. He made us look and act better than we were.
Then on his 26th Christmas, he left us as _48_ as he had come. He was killed in a car accident on an icy Denver street, on his way home to his young wife and daughter. But first he had _49_ by our home to decorate our tree, as usual. His father and I sold our home, where memories clung to every room. We moved to California, leaving _50_ our friends and church.

36.根据上下文考查合适的动名词。从文章大意可知是希望人们有健康的生活方式,参加一些activities(第二小节中),因此选playing outside最合适。后面的reading和studying都是室内活动。
37.根据上下文考查合适的动词。上文提出了一个问题,所以选find out“发现、找到(答案)”。
38.根据上下文考查意义正确的搭配。leave…off“关掉”,这是leave复合宾语结构。
39.考查搭配。由后文的to,可见这里只能填from。
40.根据上下文考查合适的词组。这两句话讲的是参与这个活动的人数的变化,因此先说的是“一开始”in the beginning。
41.根据上下文考查意义正确的词。这句话是对前一句话的补充说明,根据后文的and in more than 12 other countries可见是对所有参与者的一个说明,用including“包括”。
42.考查符合上下文的名词。进一步陈述组织者的目的。
43.考查符合文章中心思想的词义选择。组织者的目的就是希望人们有健康的生活方式,用turn on life“点亮生活”很形象地阐明了中心。
44.考查符合上下文的名词。下文的数据明显是针对学生而言,因此用kids。
45.根据上下文提供的数据,当然看电视的时间更多。
46.考查符合上下文的词。这里表示“看电视过多”。
47.考查符合上下文的关联词。下文是对上文作更具体的说明,in fact“实际上”。
48.根据上文的grow fat,这里应该是overweight“超体重的”。overeating“吃得过多”是导致肥胖的一个方面(还有缺乏锻炼),“成长过快的”overgrown和“监督”overseeing不合文意。
49.根据上下文及搭配考查合适的动词词组。从逻辑上看首先排除result from“由于”、keep away“不接触”,再根据后面的too little exercise, and violence从搭配上排除develops。
50.根据中心思想,组织者认为从道理上说这样做“应该是”健康生活的一部分。
51.从下文来看Vespe是作为一个电视观众,即一个参与本次活动的参与者,讲自己的体会,而不是一个组织者,因此选taking part in,而participate后面需要加in。
52.结合句意考查名词引导的时间状语从句。从主句的现在进行时,可以判断选every time“每次”最合适。而every day后面要加when,this time“这次”不合题意。
53.结合上下文考查固定搭配。“产生了影响”make a difference。
54.根据句意考查名词与动词搭配。下文不是列举data“数据”具体是多少,所以不能用says或reads,应该用shows表示数据说明的情况。
55.根据上下文考查词义。从前后数字来看是在63 percent的基础上的上升,选up from。
