‎2018届二轮复习完形填空说明文体裁典题10篇训练（三）‎ ‎【一】‎ San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark. ‎ The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars. ‎ The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. ‎ One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”‎ After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction, They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost 1,000. ‎ It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world. ‎ In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs ‎ were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge. ‎ Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project. ‎ ‎67. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ________. A. offer squirrels a place to eat nuts B. set up a local landmark C. help improve traffic D. protect squirrels ‎68. What happened over the coffee break discussion? A. The committee got the Council’s blessing. ‎ B. The squirrel bridge idea was born C. A councilwoman named the bridge D. A squirrel was found dead. ‎ ‎69. What does the underlined phrase “teaching them the ropes” probably means in the text? A. passing them a rope B. Directing them to store food for winter C. Teaching them a lesson D. Showing them how to use the bridge.‎ ‎70. Which of the following is true of the squirrel bridge? A. It was replaced by a longer one. B. It was built from wood and metal C. it was rebuilt after years of use D. It was designed by Bill Hutch. ‎ ‎71. What can we learn about Amos Peters? A. He is remembered for his love of animals. B. He donated $1,000 to build the bridge C. He was a member of the City Council D. He was awarded a medal for building the bridge. ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了名胜Nutty Narrow Bridge的由来。因为Peters发现经常有松鼠因为横穿马路被车压死而萌生了为松鼠建一座桥的想法，经过议会批准，他和其他人建成了这座专为松鼠通行的桥，1983年，松鼠桥重修。1984年Peters去世。但他为此而受到人们的纪念。‎ ‎67.【答案】D ‎【解析】由第二段中的to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars可知，修建Nutty Narrow Bridge的目的是保护松鼠安全地过马路。注意不要选A，因为这座桥不是给松鼠提供吃干果的地方。‎ ‎【考点定位】考查细节理解。‎ ‎68.【答案】B ‎【解析】根据第四段中的…and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety…cooked up the squirrel bridge idea可知，在某一天喝咖啡时间的讨论中，Peters和其他人萌生了给松鼠建座桥的想法。‎ ‎【考点定位】考查细节理解。‎ ‎69.【答案】D ‎【解析】根据前面的guiding their young，可以推断此处应该是松鼠教它们的孩子如何使用绳索，而不是给它们递绳子，也不是给它们一个教训。‎ ‎【考点定位】考查猜测词义。‎ ‎70.【答案】C ‎【解析】根据文章倒数第二段中的In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced.可知，绳索用了20年后，Peters进行了修缮，并替换上了新的绳索。文中没有涉及是否替换的绳索更长；第五段中提到绳索是铝制的，而且是一个architect设计的，只是说Peters和Hutch开始建设，所以C正确。‎ ‎【考点定位】考查细节理解。‎ ‎71.【答案】A ‎【解析】根据最后一段中的…a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.可以推断，Peters因为爱动物，倡导修建这座桥而被人们记住。所以A正确。‎ ‎【考点定位】考查推理判断。‎ ‎【二】‎ ‎ Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?‎ ‎ The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）.‎ ‎ ‎ People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.‎ Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can ‎ help.‎ ‎ ‎ The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎60. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .‎ ‎ A. cultural values B. commercial purposes C. personal experiences D. physical reactions to the color ‎61. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?‎ ‎ A. To relax people physically. ‎ B. To increase people’s appetites.‎ C. To encourage people to make a purchase.‎ D. To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise.‎ ‎62. What color might help lose weight according to the text?‎ A. Red B. Green. C. Blue. D. Purple.‎ ‎63. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Colors and Human Beings B. The Cultural Meaning of Color C. Colors and Personal Experiences D. The Meaning and Function of Color B篇应该是社会生活类的文章。‎ ‎60A 根据题干找到出处了，第一段的中心就是The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.‎ ‎61C 推理题饭店的理由是血压上升，食欲大增，而购物网站只能是C了。常识告诉我们，红色不能使人身体放松。‎ ‎62C 细节题，直接能找到答案，只要细心99%的人就能找到。‎ ‎63D 主旨题。正常境况是这样：第一句设问句，只能说是引语，第二句对问题的回答才是主题句，所以主题句应该是The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. 其实不然。根据五段式分析，第一句话即第一自然段提出问题，但是没有回答。第二段、第三段和第四段分别是回答，第五自然段是建议部分。‎ ‎【三】‎ It is easy to overlook the role that your body plays in influencing your mood (情绪). When you are _49_ . you may find yourself blaming work pressures or an unknown future. However, it could just be that you've been sitting behind your desk too long.‎ One way to improve your mood is _50_. Psychologically, it provides you with a break from the stresses in your life. Also, in the process, you may aim for _51 goals, like a new personal running record or a better body shape. The achievement of a particular goal makes you feel good and contributes to your _52_. That is why exercise has been shown to _53_ your self-respect.‎ You do not have to train yourself _54_ to feel the psychological benefits of exercise. What really matters is _55_, not intensity (强度) of your exercise. You can try walking for 30 minutes five times per week or simply gardening on weekends.‎ ‎49. A. ill B. poor C. unhappy D. unsuccessful[来源:Z。xx。k.Com]‎ ‎50. A. play B. communication C. sleep D. exercise ‎51. A. clear B. present C. common D. early ‎52.

Suddenly I ___36___ that a man sitting at a table near the window kept glancing in my direction, ___37___ he knew me.

When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man 25 in front of it. "I'm Steve", he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. "I can't talk with you. I'm 26 ", he said. He was chatting online with somebody--probably someone he didn't know--and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game--a war game. I was surprised.

They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer 36 of Harvard’s president. But they were 37 by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, 38 that the couple would finally become 39 and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though 40 .‎ A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a 41 face. The lady told him, “We had a son that 42 Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was 43 here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to 44 a memorial（纪念物）to him, somewhere on campus.”‎ The president wasn’t 45 . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this 46 would look like a cemetery（墓地）,” “Oh, no,” the lady 47 quickly. “We don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a 48 to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and 49 at the couple and then exclaimed, ” A building! Do you have any 50 how much a building costs? We have spent over ＄7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was 51 , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a 52 ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. 53 their offer was turned down. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their 54 , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer 55 about.‎ ‎36．A．lab B．library C．hall D．office ‎37．A．watched B．stopped C．followed D．interviewed ‎38．A．hoping B．finding C．realizing D．imagining ‎39．A．surprised B．disappointed C．worried D．troubled ‎40．A．hopelessly B．carefully C．unexpectedly D．unwillingly ‎41．A．pleasant B．funny C．cold D．sad ‎42．A．attended B．visited C．studied D．served ‎43．A．clever B．brave C．proud D．happy ‎44．A．set about B．set up C．take down D．take over ‎45．A．satisfied B．excited C．moved D．ashamed ‎46．A．house B．part C．garden D．place ‎47．A．explained B．expressed C．refused D．admitted ‎48．A．building B．yard C．playground D．square ‎49．A．laughed B．shouted C．glanced D．called ‎50．A．suggestion B．idea C．thought D．opinion ‎51．A．bored B．astonished C．interested D．pleased ‎52．A．department B．university C．business D．club ‎53．A．Once B．While C．Since D．Though ‎54．A．name B．character C．picture D．sign ‎55．A．talked B．knew C．heard D．cared 答案 36.D 37.B 38.A 39.B 40.D 41.C 42.A 43.D 44.B 45.C 46.D 47.A 48.A 49.C 50.B 51.D 52.B 53.C 54.A 55.D
