台儿庄市 2014 高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列（2）含答案 完形填空-------【解决方案与复习指南】 完形填空出题的理论依据就是利用人们的视觉暂留和思维的连贯性特点，所 以考生应该力图将短文中的空缺补充完整。具体做法如下： 首先，通读全文，掌握主旨。正如英国语言学家泰勒所指出的：“完形填空 测试题的空格是与文章的上下文有紧密联系的，而不是孤立的、不相关的。”由此 可见，要做好“完形填空”，首先必须通读全文，抓住短文不设空的首句和一些关键 词，弄懂全文大意。这样才能融会贯通，根据语境的需要选出既合乎语法又合乎 语意的最佳答案。通读时，首先要弄清短文的第一句，这往往是一个故事的背景 或是一篇文章的中心。 其次，要抓住文章的脉络，掌握文章的线索，以便了解作者的思路。文章往 往是以一定的时间顺序或以地点变迁为线索的。若以时间为序，要注意动词的时 态、语态、人称变化等方面；如果以地点变迁为线索，则应注意在不同地点出现 的人物和情节。如： A man who knows how to write a personal letter has a very powerful tool.

However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road. The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B C to about 1300 A D., when sea travel offered new routes. It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe. The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy, and religion. 49. It’s probable that traders along the Silk Road needed ________. A. to deal with a lot of difficulties B. to know the making of products C. to receive certain special training D. to remember the entire trade route 50. The Silk Road became less important because ________. A. it was made up of different routes B. silk trading became less popular C. people needed fewer foreign goods D. sea travel provided easier routes 51. New technologies could travel along the Silk Road because people ________. A. shared each other’s beliefs B. learned from one another C. traded goods along the route D. earned their living by traveling 5 2. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Silk Road: East Meets West B. The Silk Road: Past and Present C. The Silk Road: Routes Full of Dangers D. The Silk Road: Pathways for Learning 参考答案 ADBA ***********************************************************结束 When we walk through the city, we all experience a kind of information overload but we pay attention only to those that are important to us. We don't stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoiding overloading other people as well. We make use of stereotypes as convenient ways to make quick judgments about situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate，and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly. The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication. We may decide not to go to certain places bec ause we believe they will not offer something we enjoy. In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes, and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets others tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with. In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions, clothes, hairstyles, people's pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues to our social group. Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association. 53. People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because _________. A．there is too much information to take in B．everyone else is expressionless C．they do not wish to talk to other people D．the environment is already familiar to them 54. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they ________. A．can rarely be relied on B．make us mentally lazy C．may make us miss some pleasant experience D．are likely to lead us into dangerous situations [来源:学科网] 55. From the passage we may conclude that ________. A．stereotypes can help to understand people fully B．dressing can send messages about individuals C．people are becoming more interested in fashion D．stereotypes can do more harm than good to people 56. It would appear that in Eng land, a person's class ________. A．is something that can be changed easily. B．plays less of a role than it did in the past C．is mainly determined by his pronunciation D．might be less important in making friends in a city 参考答案 ACBD **********************************************************结束 The internet will open up new vistas ( 前 景 ), create the global village—you can make new friends all around the world．That, at least, is what it promised us．The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account．The reality is that we cannot keep relationship more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind． The problem is twofold．First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with．That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest in them．We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what’s left among as many others as we can．The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”． This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function．Of course it does．But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships wi th your existing friends going even though you have more to the other side of the world． In one sense, that’s a good thing．But it also has a disadvantage．If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live．And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of your time．Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually． 57．What is stressed in the first paragraph? A．The present situation of the internet． B．The socially valuable function of the internet． C．The difficulty in communication on the internet． D．The role of the human mind in the internet communication． 58．The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “____”． A．connection B．appointment C．interview D．agreement 59．According to the passenger, the author holds the view that_________． A. the internet greatly increases the size of social circles B. the internet determines the quality of social relationships C. the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised D. the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk in many cases 60．What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships? A．He doubts it． B．He is hopeful of it． C．He approves of it． D．He is uncertain about it． 参考答案 DACA *******************************************************结束
