加餐练(一) 完形阅读组合练
Ⅰ.完形填空
As I lay on the table enjoying my monthly massage (按摩), my soul was nourished and renewed. While I felt the caring __1__ of the massage therapist (治疗专家), I listened to recordings of music __2__ only a few centuries ago for royalty and the very rich. Flutes in gentle harmony complemented by __3__ piano scales; in my imagination, these gifted artists were __4__ just for me.
I pay $80 for an hourlong massage. How much is it really __5__ to me? $500? $1,000? I could never __6__ that amount every month, but if suddenly a massage cost $500 or $1,000 at minimum, I realized that I would still __7__ and get a massage every year or two as a special __8__.
When the massage was __9__, I told my massage therapist how __10__ I was for her work, how much this time __11__ to me each month. Her massages are worth far more than $80 to me — $500 or $1,000, __12__. While I can't afford that __13__, I paid her an extra $100 this month __14__ that she not put it in the bank or pay her bills with it. I __15__ that she spend it on something extraordinary for herself she wouldn't purchase __16__, like a special article of clothing or something beautiful for her home.
She was close to __17__, not at the gift itself, I think, but at the __18__ behind it. She said she looked forward to dreaming about all the __19__ she could spend the money, and that she would be sure to tell me about what she ended up deciding on.“You don't have to tell me,” I said.“It will give me even more __20__ to tell you,” she replied.

1.A.observation B.information

解析:选C 联系空后的“the massage therapist(治疗专家)”可知,此处表示“我”在感受按摩师(按摩时)关切的触摸。
2.A.reserved B.valued
C.cherished D.discovered
解析:选A 从空后的“only a few centuries ago for royalty and the very rich”可知,这样的音乐是在几个世纪前为达官贵人准备的,因此用reserved。
3.A.influent B.smooth
C.regular D.delicate
解析:选D 结合语境可知,此处表示“在优雅的钢琴曲的伴奏下”。
4.A.appearing B.performing
C.changing D.developing

解析:选D 从空后的“$500?$1,000”可知,“我”在问自己:这一个小时的按摩究竟值多少钱?
6.A.afford B.expect
C.infer D.gain
解析:选A 结合空后的“that amount every month”“get a massage every year or two”可推知,如果一小时按摩值500美元或者1 000美元,自己确实每月付不起那么多钱,但可能一年或两年享受一次。
7.A.keep up B.save up
C.make up D.break up
解析:选B 结合“if suddenly a massage cost $500 or $1,000 at minimum”和“get a massage every year or two”可知,如果一次按摩最少要花费500至1 000美元,“我”将会节省下来钱,一两年做一次按摩。

解析:选C 结合空前的“far more than $80 to me — $500 or $1,000”可知,这一个小时的按摩不仅仅值80美元,很确定地值500或1 000美元。
13.A.value B.amount
C.charge D.offer

14.A.in case B.for fear
C.in order D.on condition
解析:选D “she not put it in the bank or pay her bills with it”是“我”另外支付她这些钱的条件。故选D项。on condition that“条件是”。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology.“If automotive technology had kept pace with computer
technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V32 instead of a V8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,” says Gates.“Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50. Why haven't you guys kept up?”
The president of GM smiles and says,“Because the federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day.”
Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.
Laughter is a great thing — that's why we've all heard the saying,“Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this article, we'll look at laughter — what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier. You'll also learn that there's a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.
语篇解读:本文是一篇文章的引言。作者通过比尔·盖茨和通用汽车公司总裁的幽默谈话向我们讲述了“笑”的作用:可以促进我们的身体健康,增强抵抗疾病的能力。
1.What's the best title of the passage?
A.Laughter
B.The joke between Gates and the president of General Motors
C.Why do we laugh?
D.Laughter and health
解析:选D 标题归纳题。综观全文可以看出,文章通过一个幽默引出了笑的作用:可以增进我们的身体健康,增强抵抗疾病的能力。
2.Which one is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Computer technology has developed quickly during the past few decades.
B.Automotive technology has developed as fast as computer technology according to Bill Gates.
C.The president of GM thinks it is impossible to build cars worth less than 50 dollars.
D.If cars were less than 50 dollars, a large number of accidents would happen per day.
解析:选B 细节理解题。文章第一段的“If automotive technology had ... instead of a V8”用的是虚拟语气,故该句中的描述与事实不符。
3.The underlined word“sitcoms” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.situation comedies B.tragedies
C.body language D.fictions
解析:选A 词义猜测题。该词的意思应和此句前面的“Jokes(笑话)”以及后面的“comedians(喜剧演员)”接近,故选A。而“tragedies(悲剧)”, “body language(身势语)”,“fictions(小说)”均不在此列。
4.This passage is most probably an ________.
A.introduction of an article about Microsoft
B.introduction of an article about laughter
C.article about laughter
D.introduction of an article about General Motors
解析:选B 推理判断题。由最后一段的后半部分尤其是“In this article, we'll ...”可以看出,该文是一篇文章的引言,用来吸引读者,介绍文章的内容。
