十年高考真题分类汇编(2010-2019) 英语 专题 18 议论文和说明文类完形填空 (2011·广东) It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes, The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力 的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children. There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems. I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers’ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about ke(http://www.unjs.com) eping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program. Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child whop is bored is an 15 child. 1. A. principle B. theory C. arguments D. classification 2. A. designing B. grouping C. learning D. living 3.

In this respect, new technologies have __38__ our culture. The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n) __39__ as we've known it.

From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a __47__ to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.

The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many __50__, as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up __51__ on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel __52__ and forced to answer unwanted calls or __53__ to unwanted texts. Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society __54__ across generations. Some find today's technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone's view on the subject, it's hard to imagine what life would be like __55__ daily advancements in technology. 36.

C 对于那些可能不想被时刻联系上的人来说,被联系上会感到是一个负担(burden)。 48. D 我猜想积极的一面是,独处对于那些真正(really)想独处的人来说还是有可能的。 49. B shut out“把……关在外面”;shut down“关闭,使停工”;shut up“闭嘴,住口”;shut in“围住,监禁”。由后面的手机可以关闭可知选 B。 50.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another __50__, subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble ( 绊 脚 ) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his __51__ ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to __52__ aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In __53__ these and other research findings,two themes are __54__ : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think __55__ assistance. In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. __56__ , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be __57__, but had apparently been “lost”. The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very __58__ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to __59__ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive. The degree of __60__ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) __61__ T­shirt than a person wearing a T­shirt printed with offensive words. Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone __62__ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for __63__ than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be __64__ rather than drunk. 50. A. study B. way C. word D. college 51.

According to specialists, our bodies send out more __37__ than we realize. In fact, non­verbal ( 非 言 语 ) communication takes up about 50% of what we really __38__. And body language is particularly __39__ when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so __40__ a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. __41__, different societies treat the __42__ between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having __43__ contact (接触) even with friends, and certainly not with __44__. People from Latin American countries, __45__, touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in __46__, it may look like a Latino is __47__ a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving __48__. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep __49__ —which the Latino will in return regard as __50__. Clearly, a great deal is going on when people __51__. And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from __52__ cultures, there's a strong possibility of __53__ . But whatever the situation, the best __54__ is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be __55__. 36.A.straighter B.louder C.harder D.further 37.A.sounds B.invitations C.feelings D.messages 38.A.hope B.receive C.discover D.mean 39.A.immediate B.misleading C.important D.difficult 40.A.well B.far C.much D.long 41.A.For example B.Thus C.However D.In short 42.A.trade B.distance C.connections D.greetings 43.A.eye B.verbal C.bodily D.telephone 44.A.strangers B.relatives C.neighbours D.enemies 45.A.in other words B.on the other hand C.in a similar way D.by all means 46.A.trouble B.conversation C.silence D.experiment 47.A.disturbing B.helping C.guiding D.following 48.A.closer B.faster C.in D.away 49.A.stepping forward B.going on C.backing away D.coming out 50.A.weakness B.carelessness C.friendliness D.coldness 51.A.talk B.travel C.laugh D.think 52.A.different B.European C.Latino D.rich 53.A.curiosity B.excitement C.misunderstanding D.nervousness 54.A.chance B.time C.result D.advice 55.A.noticed B.treated C.respected D.pleased 【要点综述】本文是一篇说明文。作者认为身势语比言辞更有效,而身势语却常常被人们忽略。在进行跨文化交流的过程中,身势语尤为重要。作者以拉丁美洲人和挪威人为例进 行了阐述。最后作者指出:不管什么情况,最好的建议是:对待别人像你希望被对待的那样。 (你想别人怎么对待你,你就怎样对待别人。) 36.

Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ,experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three. Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow( 乌 鸦 )that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow. How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled. It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's. 1. A. rise B. pattern C. change D. trend 2. A.

Human beings are born with this ability; …many animals are, too. the bird knows the 5 C between two and three. 数字感是辨别数字改变的能力。动物和人 类一样,与生俱来都具有这样的能力:鸟 类可以识别两和三的区别。 第 二 部 分 (para.2) experiment showed a bird’s 6 A number sense. it was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 D able to fool the crow. 一项实验证明,鸟类具有数字感:鸟类对 于小的数字有数字感,对于大数字则不太 好:五个人时,只有四个人离开时,乌鸦 终于被搞糊涂了。 第 三 部 分 (para.3) How good is a human’s number sense? ...not very good. But when the number goes beyond three or four…are 14 D. often fooled. 人类的数字感:同样不是特别好。数字超 过三或四时,常会出错。 第 四 部 分 (para.4) number sense is something we have in common with many animals...human 15 C. ability is not much better than a crow’s 结论:数字感是人类和很多动物共同具有 的能力,人类的这种能力不比乌鸦更强。 【答案解析】1. C。根据下文的“remove one/two”语义提示可知,这里是把数字发生变化;四个选项分别为: A“上升”,B“图案”,C“改变”,D“趋势”,由此可知本句含义为“数字感是分辨数字变化的能 力”,故 C 为正确答案。 2. B。根据上下文的语境可知,分别说到“人类与生俱来具有这种能力(分辨数字变化的能 力)”和“很多鸟类也有很好的数字感。”,运用逻辑推断可知,这里表示这是“令人惊讶的 是”,四个选项分别为:A“重要的是”,B“令人惊讶的是”,C“令人失望的是”,D“幸运的 是”;所以答案为 B。 3. D。根据上文第一句的“recognize”和下文的“knows the 5 ”语义提示可知,这是这二个 词的同义词复现,本句句义为:如果一个鸟窝里有四颗鸟蛋,你拿走一个,鸟儿就会发现。 A“生存下来”,B“关心”,C“孵(蛋)”均不符合语境。 4. A。根据常识判断,这里要表达的意思是:如果取走两颗鸟蛋时,鸟类在通常情况下会离 开(飞走)。四个选项分别为:A“通常,一般情况下”,B“真诚地”,C“随意地”,D“故意地, 有意地”。 5. C。根据上文说到的“拿走一个和二个鸟蛋时,鸟的反应和表现”的语义提示可知,这些都 是属于 difference 的范畴。而且这里的 difference 与第二句中的 change 形成同义词复现的关 系;四个选项分别为:A“距离”,B“范围”,C“不同,区别”,D“间隙(时段)”。本句句义 为:这说明鸟类知道二和三的区别。 6. A。根据上下文的语义提示可知,这里要表达的意思是:另一个有意思的实验也显示了鸟 类的这种令人惊奇的数字感。故答案为 A。amazing 与第四句空格 2“Surprisingly(令人吃惊 或惊奇的是)”构成同义词的复现关系。 7. D。根据下文第十一空前“not return to the nest”的语义提示可知答案,四个选项的含义分别 为:A“放松”,B“恢复”,C“反应”,D“返回,归还”。本句句义为:这只鸟直到那个人离开 那座塔之后才离开。事实上这里的 return 与上句中的 left 形成反义词的复现关系。 8. C。根据上下文的语境可知,这个人第一种方法行不通,所以这里再用另一方法,由此运 用逻辑推断可知,这里要表达的意思是:这个人有(或想出)了一个主意,四个选项的含义 分别为:A“失望”,B“借口”, C“主意,想法”,D“解释”。根据语境,下文讲了他的具体做 法。A、B 和 D 都不符合,C 为正确答案:先有了想法或主意,然后是具体的行为。 9. C。根据上下文的语境可知,他们只是在做实验,根据常识并运用逻辑推断可知他们不是 要抓(catch)乌鸦。其他三项 A“愚弄”,B“伤害”,D“杀死”均不太符合语境。10. B。根据上下文的语义提示可知,本句讲了实验的进展:他们又先后用三个人和四个人 重复做了实验。并在下句交代了实验的结果:但是乌鸦都是等到所有人(离开)后才回巢。 四个选项的含义分别为:A“报道”,B“重复”,C“设计”,D“通过”。根据语境, 11.B。根据语义提示可知,gone 与上文(本段)的 left,return,left,left 多次构成同义词 或反义词的复现关系。所以答案选 B 项。句意为表示两次实验的结果:但是乌鸦都是等到 所有人(离开)后才回巢。故答案为 B“离开”。其他选项的含义分别为:A“感到困惑”,C“感 到很累”,D“喝醉了酒”。 12.D。根据上下文语境并运用逻辑推断可知,本句以强调句的形式交代了,最后的一次实 验及实验结果:直到五个人进入到塔中,只有四个人离开时,他们才最终把乌鸦给搞糊涂了 /愚弄了乌鸦。其他错误选项的含义分别为:A“逐渐地”,B“幸运地”,“奇怪地”。 13.B。根据本段语境并结合常识可知,前两句在说:人类的数字感觉也不是非常好。再根 据大语境,全文一直在讲,对于鸟类在小数字变换时的数字分辨能力的实验。显然可以推出 本句句义为:例如,当从一个很小的一组东西中拿走一些时,十四个月大的婴儿几乎总是能 够注意到(这个变化)。故答案为 B。其他错误选项的含义分别为:A“单一的”,B“当地 的”,D“新的”。 这里的 small 与以上的数字均形成具体与概括的复现关系。 14. D。根据语义提示可知,这里的 often 与第三句中的 almost 形成近义词复现关系。四个选 项的含义分别为:A“很少”,B“临时”,C“只有”,D“常常”。根据语境与行文逻辑,本句句 义为:但是当数字超过三或者四时,婴儿们通常会被搞糊涂。 15. C。根据上文的语义提示可知,这里的 ability 与首段的 ability 形成相同词的复现关系。 文章末段与首段开甩语义照应上的前后照应的关系。四个选项的含义分别为:A“视力,看 见”,B“本质,天性,内在”,C“能力”,D“信仰,相信”。本段为结论段,根据语境,本句 句义为:(好像数字感是我们与世界上的许多动物都具备的能力,而且)我们人类的这种能 力不比乌鸦更强。 (2013·重庆) B It is easy to overlook the role that your body plays in influencing your mood (情绪).

The question is: Is economic globalization 50 for all? According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 51 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 52 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合)of local economies into the world economy.

Those who 54 globalization claim that economies in developing countries wilt from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 55 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 56 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet. Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 57 gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually. 58 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. 59 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 60 their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of 61 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to 62 and will be crowded out.

Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.

Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 .

This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public.
