解析：
Britains private schools are one of its most successful exports. The children of the wealthy【C1】______to them, whether from China, Nigeria or Russia: the number of foreign pupils rose
by 1.4% in the last year alone. 【C2】______foreign students, whether educated in British private schools or elsewhere, are decreasingly likely to go to English universities. According to the
Higher Education Funding Council for England, 307,200【C3】______students began their studies
in the country in 2012-13, down from 312,000 two years earlier and the first【C4】______in 29
years. Student numbers from the rest of the EU fell—【C5】______a result of the increase in annual tuition【C6】______in England from ￡6,000 a year to ￡9,000. But【C7】______from India and Pakistan declined most sharply. 【C8】______the visa regime for private schools, which is extremely【C9】______(the Home Office counts private schools as favored sponsors), student visas have been
tightened. Foreign students used to be allowed to work for up to two years after graduating. They
now have only four months to find a job paying upwards of ￡20,600 if they want to stay in Britain. This change was【C10】______to deal with sham colleges that were【C11】______offering two-year
work visas. But it seems to have put【C12】______serious students too. Nick Hillman of the Higher Education Policy Institute says the government has sent unclear messages about the sort of
immigration it wants to【C13】______. An emphasis on holding down net immigration discourages
young Indians and Pakistanis in particular. Australia and America, which have more【C14】______entry criteria for students, are becoming more favored【C15】______. Colin Riordan, Cardiff
Universitys vice-chancellor, adds that Britains student-visa regime has become more burdensome
and complicated【C16】______. As a result, Britain is losing out to other countries in the【C17】______for talent—an odd thing,【C18】______how often the prime minister bangs on about the global
race. Its unwelcoming stand will【C19】______its long-term prospects. And the【C20】______of
foreign students from leading British private schools to American colleges may have another,
somewhat happier, consequence: America might become rather better at cricket.（分数：40.00）

A.loose √
B.reliable
C.rigid
D.disappointing

2017考研英语二完形填空真题
2017考研英语二完形填空真题 Would a Work-Free World Be So Bad? Fears of civilization-wide idleness are based too much on the downsides of being unemployed in a society premised on the concept of employment. A 1567 painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder depicts a mythical land of plenty, where people grow idle in the absence of work. Wikimedia Ilana E. Strauss Jun 28, 2016 People have speculated for centuries about a future without work, and today is no different, with academics, writers, and activists once again warning that technology is replacing human workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland. A different, less paranoid, and not mutually exclusive prediction holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort, one characterized by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives meaning, people will simply become lazy

Among other things, the company will now have to seek consumers’ approval before it changes the way it shares their data.

In separate cases over the past couple of years the FTC has insisted that Twitter and Google accept regular 19 audits, too, after each firm was accused of violating its customers’ privacy.

考研英语二（完形填空）-试卷44 (总分：120.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、 Use of English(总题数：3，分数：120.00) 1.Section I Use of EnglishDirections: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.（分数：40.00） __________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析： In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to "do what you love." But mastering a skill,【C1】______one that you deeply love, requires a huge 【C2】______of dull practice. Any challenging activity requires【C3】______and concentrated practice. Anyone who wants to master a skill must【C4】______through the cycle of practice, critical feedback, modification, and progressive improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to【C5】______practicing an activity like this for years and take【C6】______in their gradual improvement.【C7】______others find this kind of concentrated, time-intensive work to be【C8】______or boring. Why? The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of "flow," the feeling of being completely【C9】______what you are doing. A flow state is a special experience. Flow states can happen in the【C10】______of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to adjust their performance【C11】______clear and immediate feedback. Flow states turn the dull practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a【C12】______to an end or for attaining some external reward. That raises the question of how we can turn this to our【C13】______: How can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the process of【C14】______skills and the rewards of being a master? Psychologists suggested that those who most readily entered into flow states had an "autotelic personality". For those who aren"t necessarily【C15】______with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be【C16】______by environmental factors. While there isn"t yet a pill that can turn dull practice into a【C17】______activity for anyone, it is encouraging that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states【C18】______we are given unstructured, open-ended time,【C19】______distractions, and a task set at a【C20】______level of difficulty.（分数：40.00） (1).【C1】（分数：2.00） A.especially B.even √ C.only D.just 解析：解析：句子指出“掌握一门技能需要枯燥练习”。空格后one则指代a skill，结合one thatyou deeply love的语义，推断所需副词旨在强调任何一门技能都遵循着这样的规律。B项even“甚至，即使”可加强语气，能体现句首表转折的But和句子逻辑。 (2).【C2】（分数：2.00） A.part B.variety C.amount √ D.field 解析：解析：所需名词处于a huge…of的表达中，修饰dull practice。参照“熟能生巧”的逻辑，可以推测掌握一门技能需要大量的练习，故C项amount“大量”正确。 (3).【C3】（分数：2.00） A.focused √
