上海市高考英语专题冲刺五完形填空

上海市 2019 年高考英语专题冲刺（五）‎ ‎ -----完形填空 ‎【考纲解读】‎ 完形填空完形填空主要考查学生词汇、固定搭配、语法  等语言知识，也反映出学生的阅读 理解能力，对语境的逻辑判断能力。‎ ‎【解题原则】‎ ‎1、语义优先于语法原则 由于文章的开头部分一般不设空格,而是对所选短文的题材和可能涉及的内容作简单的介绍 或提示,并且单纯的语法题几乎从该题型中消失。‎ 如果一味按照语法规则来选择答案，就陷入了答题误区,因为几乎每一题的四个选项都符合 语法规则;理解文章的大意并结合语言结构对每个空格作出正确的判断，方为上策。‎ ‎2、词内选项句内找原则 从近几年的高考原题来看，近义词或词组的辨析正成为考试的热点。四个选择项要么都是词 义相近的名词单数或复数，要么都是近义动词的同一时态等，只能根据上下文的语境作出正 确的选择。‎ 如果提供的四个选择项词义相差悬殊，则上文或下文肯定有答题提示，有时第一个空格要读 完全文才能回答。‎ ‎【解题步骤】‎ ‎1.要快速通读全文，了解文章大意，正确分析、归纳文章主旨。‎ ‎2.在理解文章大意基础上，对每道题所给的词语进行剖析，考虑语境，上下呼应，运用逻辑 思维进行推理，再根据自己最有把握的、最熟悉的短语、习惯用语、动词形式和句子结构等，‎ 先完成简单的，把难的留在后面。‎ ‎3.再次细读全文，集中精力解决难点，填补空缺。‎ ‎4.答题完毕，遵循由整体到局部、由局部到整体的规律，再耐心通读全文，认真复查所选答 案是否得当，语法是否正确，逻辑推理是否合理。‎ ‎【解题技巧】‎ ‎1.逻辑语气解题法 这种逻辑语气主要包含并列、递进、因果、转折和委婉语气等等。这类题的选项多为连词、‎ 副词或具有连词意义的各类短语。‎ ‎【例题】‎ He had spent those years well, graduating from college, completing two internships(实习) in Washington, D.C, and ____, becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento.‎ A. hopefully B. finally C. particularly D. certainly ‎【解析】‎ 有上文及全句的意思可知，在这儿是作者六年求学和工作的最后一个环节，表示毕业之后找 到了一份工作，从预期上讲，应该是结论性的，所以，惟有 finally 符合题意，选 B。‎ ‎2.固定搭配解题法 这类题与语法结构题有点类似，但主要惯用搭配，讲究词与词的搭配，涉及到关联词、动词、‎ 副词、形容词、名词和短语等。‎ ‎【例题】‎ Telling him that he no longer needed to enjoy them but I still needed to write them, I ____‎ until the day he graduated.‎ A. held up B. gave up C. followed D. continued ‎【解析】‎ 由句意可知，“尽管儿子不愿意再收到我的字条，但是我依然坚持写到他毕业为止。”这道题 实际上是一道固定搭配题，其结构为 not…until,但句中没有否定副词 not,再则，若 A、B 两项 短语用于这一结构中须与 not 连用，故不合题意；C 项的 followed 应为及物动词，后面需加 宾语方可，再则 followed 在此有歧义，也不合题意，由于 continue 是延续性动词，所以，‎ 无需否定副词，在这一固定搭配中只有瞬间动词才与 not 连用，所以选 D。‎ ‎3.语法结构法 这类题需要考生有较为扎实的语法基础知识，能够从句式的结构上辨别出须填相关的关联 词、连词、副词、形容词或相应的动词，当然还要考虑到主谓一致的关系等语法知识要点。‎ ‎【例题】‎ When it was 5:00pm, I was ready to go home. I was about to turn off my computer ____ I received an email from Garth, my Director.‎ A. while B. when C. where D. after ‎【解析】‎ 这里 when 的意思是 just at the moment, 与前面的 when 意思不一样，A 项的 while 无此意，‎ D 项的 after 不符合行为交互逻辑，C 项完全是错误的。所以选 B。‎ ‎4.语境信息解题法 ‎- 2 -‎ 选项重在语意干扰，考生应具有通过上下文提示、暗示或铺垫，对篇章进行整体上的把握的 能力。所以，快速浏览全文，迅速领悟篇章主旨，通过上下文语境选择答案选项乃解决完形 填空的关键。‎ ‎【例题】‎ Our __1__ challenge was to keep the rock mixture __2__ enough.‎ ‎1. A. next B. first C. past D. previous ‎2. A. cold B. wet C. loose D. clean ‎【解析】‎ 短文前面提到第一个挑战是发电的问题，那么接下来的挑战就是如何保持温度的问题。所以 ‎1 题答案为 A。从下文提到的洒水车等事情，我们可以判断出 2 这儿应该是“保持湿度”的语 意，所以答案为 B 项。‎ ‎5.利用常识解题法 这类题主要是考查考生应该把握的英美国家的文化背景知识和生活常识，但唯有在无法准确 把握语言知识时，可充分利用所学的社会知识和科普知识进行语境判断。‎ ‎【例题】‎ Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was ____.‎ A. right B. ready C. fixed D. sold ‎【解析】‎ 依据生活常识，买车前一般要提前预订，因此这里的意思是销售部打来电话通知作者，他们 的车已经到了，让他们前去提车。答案为 B 项。‎ ‎【提高途径】‎ 良好的完形填空成绩主要表现在良好的阅读习惯和良好的语法功底，有人说，“得阅读者得 天下”。完形填空也不例外。‎ 多做多练多总结；扫清词汇障碍后还应培养自己良好的阅读习惯：‎ ‎1、要以意群，语义为单位读，不要逐词逐句地认；‎ ‎2、要借助视觉扫读，不要手指唇动或无声心读；‎ ‎3、要从头至尾，一气呵成，不要频繁回读；‎ ‎4、要直接理解原文，不要逐词逐句地心译；‎ ‎5、要利用上下文和构词法猜测生词，推测出句意，不要频繁查阅词典；‎ ‎6、逐步扩大视距，要纵式快速阅读，不要横式赏析细读。‎ ‎2019高考冲刺--完形填空专项汇编 ‎1.上海中学周练 （难度：难）‎ A true story of retirement planning is that your future is riding on the quality of your assumptions. Humble __41__ can be dangerous.‎ For example, eight years into this bull market expecting stocks to deliver as-strong returns over the next decade is an uncertain proposition many are nonetheless __42__.‎ Another potential __43__ assumption is that you will be able to keep working past 65. Yet the recently released 2017 Retirement Confidence Survey by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute finds that more than half of workers say they expect to still be on the clock past age 65. By __44__, less than 15 percent of today’s retirees kept working that long.‎ ‎“If you plan on working longer as a way to get by in retirement, you are going to be in trouble,” says Craig Copeland, senior research associate at EBRI. “It should be a complement to a solid savings and spending plan, not the __45__.”‎ It’s simply too __46__ to assume you will indeed be able to work longer. A survey by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies found that nearly two-thirds of retirees left the workforce earlier than expected because they were laid off, reorganized out of a position, or due to general unhappiness with a job. Only 16 percent of retirees who __47__ the work force earlier than they expected did so because they felt they could __48__ afford to.‎ ‎__49__, a new report from Prudential puts a dollar value on why your current employer may not be inclined （倾向于）to do back flips to keep an older you happy and engaged.‎ The estimated one-year cost to a firm when an employee __50__ retirement: $50,000.‎ Prudential estimates that on a company-wide level, delayed retirement can __51__ overall workforce costs by 1 percent to 1.5 percent. That’s not nothing. And it goes a long way in explaining why employers may be more inclined to focus on “financial wellness” strategies to get workers ready to retire __52__ than programs to help workers delay retirement.‎ Fewer than one-third of employees surveyed by TCRS report their employer has some sort of “transition” program such as flexible work schedules, reduced hours or __53__ to a different role.‎ ‎“Workers’ vision of retirement is changing faster than employers’ business __54__,” said Catherine Collinson, president of TCRS. That makes it ever more crucial for pre-retirees to take the steps today that will increase that __55__ they can continue to work longer, if that’s part of the plan.‎ ‎1.

A. abilities B. capabilities C. chances D. outputs Keys： BACDA CBCDA CBABC 解析：‎ ‎1.主旨大意题。根据全文大意，退休之前的乐观的假设是不切实际的。所以这题选 optimism。‎ ‎2.For example, eight years into this bull market （expecting stocks to deliver as-strong returns over the next decade ）is an uncertain proposition （many are nonetheless __42__.）然而很 多人依赖于这个不确定的主张。选 relying on。cast on 审视，accounting on 无此固定搭配。‎ falling on 此搭配不常用。‎ ‎3.reliable 可靠的 possible 可能的 flawed 错误的 unlikely 不可能的。potential flawed assumption 可能的错误的假设。‎ ‎4.contrary adj. 相反的 compromise vt. 违背 compliment n./ vt 称赞 contrast n.‎ 对照。 by contrast 相比之下 ‎5. 词义辨析题。foundation 基础；basement 地下室，基底；founding 铸造；‎ construction 建筑物。根据句意选 A。‎ ‎6.ridiculous 可笑的；sensible 明智的； risky 冒险的；logical 有逻辑的。根据句意假设你 可以工作更长的时间太过于危险。与第一段的 dangerous 相呼应。‎ ‎7.extended 延伸；exited 离开；existed 存在；remained 保持。exit the work force 离开 工作岗位。‎ ‎8.根据句意，是经济上能够支付得起。所以选 financially。‎ ‎9.这一段与上文的逻辑关系是递进关系，都是解释了为什么退休员工不能继续工作下去的 原因。所以选 moreover。‎ ‎10.这题很简单，delay retirement 延迟退休。选 A。‎ ‎11. 根据上文 The estimated one-year cost to a firm when an employee delays retirement:‎ ‎$50,000，可知推迟退休是增加了公司的花费，选 C。‎ ‎12.与推迟退休相对应的是早点退休，所以选 sooner。‎ ‎13.固定搭配 shift to 改变成······‎ ‎14.practices 在这儿不是练习的意思，而是常规，惯例。工人对退休的看法经常比公司的惯 例要变得快。‎ ‎15.abilities 能力； capabilities 能力，产能；chances 机会；outputs 输出。这使得接近退 休的人采取措施变得更为关键。这些措施将会增加他们能够继续工作的可能性。‎ ‎2.选自晋元高级中学高三下学期开学考试 较难 Two truths to Live By The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.

Why should we ___56___ things of beauty when beauty is bound to leave us? Why give our heart in love when those will ___57___‎ be torn from our grasp?‎ In order to ___58___ this paradox, we must seek a wider perspective, viewing our lives as through windows that open on eternity. Once we do that, we realize that though our lives are finite; our deeds on earth weave a ___59___ pattern.‎ Life is never just being. It is a becoming, a flowing on. Our parents live on through us,‎ and we will live on through our children. The institutions we build ___60___, and we will last through them. The beauty we create cannot be ___61___ by death. Our flesh may perish, our hands will grow old, but what they create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to ___62___.‎ Don’t spend and waste your lives ___63___ objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.‎ Pursue not so much the material as the ideal, for ideals alone ___64___ life with meaning and are of enduring worth.‎ Add love to a house and you have a home.

It is the ____51___ which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven’t got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and others’ ___52____.‎ Ambition, __53_____, can have several defects.First of all,it can be ___54____. We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations ____55___. They may tell us that we haven’t the ability to deal with people and would make good businessmen.‎ We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying. Many years and many ____56___ later we are forced to accept their ___57_____. But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!‎ Secondly, our ambition can be too ___58_____. Our attention is devoted to one narrow aim, such as getting distinctions in our science subjects. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination. And we probably won’t make good scientists. We ___59____ the breadth of vision necessary for success in higher level.‎ Thirdly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to ___60____ by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth.‎ Fourthly, our ambition may be ____61____. Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further ____62____ of our own success.‎ Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals---necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the ____63____ in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart.‎ Otherwise ambition may ____64____ too high a price in terms of human qualities.‎ ‎51. A. mean B. force C. courage D. action ‎52. A. justice B. affection C. benefit D. emotion ‎53. A. however B. therefore C. besides D. furthermore ‎54. A. unpredictable B. unusual C. unrealistic D. unfavorable ‎55.

C 句意解析。我们使用自己的才能当然是为了给自己和我们周围的人谋福利。所以这里 选 C。‎ ‎53. A 句意解析。结合上下文，第一段讲的都是志向给我们带来的好处。但是在第二段空后 ‎“defect”则是缺陷的意思。很明显这里讲的是志向的缺点，所以表示转折。故选 A。‎ ‎54. C 句意解析。这里开始讲述志向的缺点。由于它我们无法看清自己力量的限制。下文则 是对这个观点的解析。由于我们盲目自信，这会使得我们需要花费更多的时间来认清自己的 能力上限。我们因此会浪费很多的时间，这对于我们来说显然不是一件好事。因此答案选 C。‎ ‎55. A 句意解析。本题同上一题一样，同样需要结合下文。我们受自己志向的限制无法认清 自己。但是我们周围的人比如老板则能从他们的角度很好的知道我们的长处和短处。因此这 里应该选 A“客观的”，他们既看得到我们的长处也看得到我们的不足。所以对我们的认识很 客观。‎ ‎56. D 句意解析。上文提到我们看不清我们的限制。要花费多年的时间才能认清这一点。在 这期间我们肯定需要经历很多的失败才能认清这一点。所以选 D“失望”。‎ ‎57. C 句意解析。前文提到，我们被志向所误导，但是其他人早已看出我们的不足，我们需 要花费更多的时间才能认识到这一点。才能接受他们对我们的判断。所以应该选 C。‎ ‎58. B 段落大意。这一段讲解的仍然是志向的缺点。综合段落内容。由于我们一直专注于自 己的志向忽略了周围其他的一切。所以最终我们肯定会变得非常的孤立，所以选 B。‎ ‎59. A 词义解析。我们太过于专注于自己的志向而忽略我们造成的破坏。所以这里选 A。‎ ‎60. B 句意解析。联系上下文，这里讲的是即便我们全身心投入到自身的志向中去我们仍然 不见得会成功。后面讲解的无法成功的原因是我们某个方面的不足。所以这里选“lack”表示 我们缺少这种能力。‎ ‎61. B 句意解析。由于有些人感到自己低人一等，当然会想办法去弥补这个不足。所以选择 B 表示“弥补”。‎ ‎62. A 段落理解。根据空后我们将自己子女的成功看作是自己成果的延续。这是一种自私的 表现，所以这里选 A 表示“以自我为中心的”。‎ ‎63. D 段落理解。62 题是本段的中心句，后面是对中心句的展开。我们把孩子们的成果当成 是自己成功的一种标志。所以选 D。‎ ‎64. B 句意解析。最后一段又回到第一段，开始讲述志向的好处。不管是对我们自己还是对 我们的周围都有好处。结合答案 we live in the community。所以应该选 B。我们住在社区里。‎ ‎65. D 句意解析。综上所述，有志向是好的，但是同时我们也需要为此付出一定的代价。因 此这里表示“要求”，故选 D。‎ 下面一篇选自上海市进才中学第一学期月考 难度 难 If Hillary Clinton wins the US presidential election in November, three of the world’s five largest economies will be led by women. Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, Theresa May,‎ UK prime minister, and Mrs Clinton, have all been hailed as role models for women and girls.‎ But the singularity and precariousness of their success raises the question: are women automatically good examples for other women?‎ ‎“The ability of role models, in portraits and more importantly in the flesh, to influence gender __ 41 __ is both encouraging and muddy,” says Iris Bohnet, professor of public policy at Harvard University’s Kennedy School.‎ Some evidence on the power of role models is overwhelmingly __ 42 __. Ms Bohnet cites the Panchayati Raj act, a constitutional amendment in India introduced in 1993, which __ 43‎ ‎__ that village councils needed to reserve one-third of their seats, and one-third of their council leader positions, for women. Not only did the __ 44 __ of Indian local government posts held by women rise from 5 per cent in 1993 to 40 per cent by 2005, but the new role models the law created had a(n) __ 45 __ impact on families and younger women. With the advent of female village leaders, the likelihood that a woman spoke up in a village meeting increased by 25 per cent. Villagers who had been __ 46 __ to at least two female chiefs in West Bengal overcame their initial bias against women as leaders and rated male and female leaders equally. This category of converts included parents, who were more likely to __ 47 __‎ their daughters to study past secondary school, thus __ 48 __ the gender gap in aspirations,‎ which increased women’s self-confidence and their __ 49 __ to compete in male-dominated domains, and it changed men’s and women’s beliefs about what a(n) __ 50 __ leader looked like”.‎ There is plenty of evidence from elsewhere in the world on the effectiveness of female role models. In the US, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission __ 51 __ data from more than 20,000 private-sector companies and found that, when the share of female top managers increased, the share of women in middle-management subsequently rose.‎ ‎__ 52 __, the US research contains some less good news. It found that the positive influence of women in top leadership positions on gender diversity at management level diminished over time, suggesting that women at the top play a positive yet __ 53 __ role in women’s career advancement. Indeed, having a small number of highly successful women at the top can prove a double-edged sword. Anecdotal evidence suggests that if the women in leadership posts are overwhelmingly white, highly educated — and often childless — this can ‎__ 54 __other women who do not fit these categories. The experience of much-written-about ‎“superwomen”, such as fund managers Nicola Horlick and Helena Morrissey in the UK, or Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook in the US, can sometimes discourage as much as encourage those __ 55 __ to imitate their success.‎ ‎41.A. difference B. discrimination C. equality D. diversity ‎42.A. informative B. negative C. positive D. creative ‎43.

It sounds simple and achievable. But, 50 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 51 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders,‎ and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 52 that the customer remains a customer.‎ ‎53 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between ‎10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 54 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.‎ Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 55 implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 56 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 57 increases of between ‎25 and 85 per cent.‎ In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000‎ over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 58 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 59 profits ‎(more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).‎ The logic behind cultivating customer 60 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to ‎61 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.‎ ‎62 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 63 , and may provide free word-of-‎ mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 64 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.‎ ‎50. A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all ‎51.

BCCDB 解析：‎ ‎50. 空前面的but表示转折，前一句说的是“吸引和留住顾客听起来很简单，也可以达 成。”后一句是说“实际上，一些至理名言被很快地忘记了。”连词but是此题的解题关键。‎ 该题易。‎ ‎51.“公司一旦吸引来顾客，他们通常会忽略了留住顾客这一点。”只要认识选项中的词义，把 握句意，便能选对。‎ ‎52.此题解题的关键是破折号。此句中的破折号是对前一句和上文内容的补充说明。上文说 的是要留住顾客，这句便说及公司忘了确保他们的客户仍旧是他们的客户。根据四个选项的 意思，应选择 ensuring:确保。‎ ‎53.考查短语的固定搭配和段落内容的理解。当遇到段落的首句设空时，需进一步往下看，‎ 概括此段的段落大意。段落的首句通常是该段内容的提纲挚领。因此只要能把握住该段的段 落大意，便能确定首句空格中需填入的词。这一段主要是说未能留住顾客给公司带来了一定 的经济损失。故选择 failing. fail to do sth.未能做某事。‎ ‎54.要选对此题，需把握此段语篇的语境。不难发现，因丢失顾客而给公司带来经济损失在 不断变化着的市场环境中屡见不鲜。因此，发生这些经济损失的大背景是市场，故选 markets.‎ ‎55.公司丢失了顾客，一定是在经济上受到影响。故本题选择 financial. 迷惑项 economical 的意思是“节俭的”‎ ‎56.make a big difference 的意思是“有很大的影响”。结合下一句可知，减少流失顾客的数量 可以导致利润的增加，这与让顾客流失对公司产生的影响是有很大不同的。‎ ‎57.如果上一题能选对，此题也可一派相承，即减少流失顾客的数量可以导致利润的增加。‎ ‎58.空格之后的 never returns 和 and 之前的内容是因果关系，故选 as a result.选择连词的关 键在于正确判断上下句之间的语意关系。‎ ‎59. “一个丢失的顾客使公司损失数以万计潜在的利益”。这种损失可能在当下无法直接被察 觉，所以是潜在的利润损失。故选 potential：潜在的。‎ ‎60.由上文可知，要留住顾客对一个公司而言，显得非常重要。‎ ‎61.通篇文章说的是留住顾客的重要性，在四个选项中，keeping 含有“保持、维持”的含义，‎ 与上文的 retaining 是近义词的复现。‎ ‎62.此句要表达的意思是固定的顾客群对于公司的益处。根据词义，established 的意思是：‎ 已经被建立起来的。‎ ‎63.此句表达的意思是：老的顾客群对价格问题不会特别敏感，并且可能会为公司提供免费 的口头广告。再根据四个选项的词义，sensitive 为最佳选项。‎ ‎64.此句是从竞争者的角度而言的，留住的顾客使竞争者很难进入该市场或提高他们的市场 份额。因此，把握住此句的句意，便能正确地选出 difficult.‎ ‎2017 华二 12 月月考 难度 中 The most obvious benefit of a single currency is that it will no longer be necessary to incur(引起)the costs of exchange from one currency to another.

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. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes ‎53 at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.‎ Those who 54 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 55 , small farmers ‎- 19 -‎ 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 the 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 pot 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.‎ One thing is certain about globalization—there is no 63 . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The 64‎ now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.‎ ‎(347 words)‎ ‎50. A. possible B. smooth C. good D. easy ‎51.

We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out-and why; how to deal with difficult __53__ situations involving children, lovers,‎ and colleagues.‎ So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural __54__, of both time and words?‎ ‎- 20 -‎ Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book,‎ Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really__55__issues.‎ Dunbar __56__ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar—__57__, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.‎ Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the __58__ of the higher primates（灵长 类动物）like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or__59__ from outside it.‎ As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar ‎__60__ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the __61__ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to __62__‎ the pressure and calm everybody down.‎ But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be __63__ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more __64__ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal（有声的）grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one __65__ contact.‎ ‎51.

Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.‎ In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52‎ to people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.‎ Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 .‎ They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved.‎ You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.‎ First Impression To help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality.‎ Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.‎ As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59‎ at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.‎ The 60 Knows Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction.‎ Many animals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every ‎- 22 -‎ interaction with other people.‎ Face Value Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had ‎0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64‎ attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.‎ When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face.

Anyone who want to master a skill must run through the cycle of practice, 42___‎ feedback, modification, and increasing improvement again, again and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take pleasure in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be 43___‎ or boring.Why?‎ The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of “follow,” the feeling of being completely 44___ in what you are doing. Whether you call it being “in the zone,” or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the 45___‎ of flow in the 1970’s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) 46___ skill level, and where the individual is able to 47___ their performance to clear and immediate feedback.‎ Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most 48___ entered into flow states had an ‎“autotelic personality(自带目的性人格)”—a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges.‎ They are also 49___ and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest” have a great 50 over others in developing their innate abilities.‎ Fortunately for those of us who aren’t 51___ blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be 52___ by environmental factors. 53___, the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states.‎ While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn mundane practice into a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some 54___, to be able to nudge ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal 55___, and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty, we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.‎ ‎41.
