解析：
Is Stanford still a university? The Wall Street Journal recently reported that more than a dozen students have left school to work on a new technology start-up called Clinkle. Faculty members have【C1】______, the former dean of Stanford"s business school is on the board, and one computer-science professor who taught several of the employees now owns【C2】______. The founder of Clinkle was an undergraduate advisee of the president of the university, John Hennessy, who has also been advising the company. Clinkle【C3】______mobile payments, and, if all goes well, there will be many payments to many people on【C4】______. Maybe, as it did with Google, Stanford will get stock grants. There are【C5】______of interest here; and questions of power dynamics. The leadership of a university has encouraged an【C6】______in which students drop out in order to do something that will【C7】______the faculty. Stanford has been【C8】______in this direction for a while. As Ken Auletta reported in this magazine a year ago, the【C9】______between Stanford and Silicon Valley are【C10】______. Federal Telegraph was started by a Stanford grad a hundred and four years ago. William Hewlett and David Packard started inventing things as students, as did the Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Stanford feeds Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley【C11】______Stanford. You can"t have one【C12】______the other. But what"s the point of having a great university among the palm trees【C13】______students feel like they have to treat their professors as【C14】______investors, found companies before they can legally drink, and drop out in an effort to get rich fast? Shouldn"t it be a place to drift, to think, to read, to meet new people, and to work at whatever【C15】______you? And Stanford has, in its day, produced a great variety of graduates: hippies, novelists, politicians,【C16】______dropouts, and, of course, athletes. Now,【C17】______, it seems like all the countless identities are being included. Students can still study Chaucer, and there are still lovely palm trees. But the center of【C18】______at the university appears to have【C19】______. The school now【C20】______a giant tech incubator with a football team.（分数：40.00）

(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）
A.barriers
B.fights

D.conflicts √
解析：解析：interest(利益)与后半句的power dynamics(权利变化)对应。and表并列关系，可以推断出此空格需填入的名词应与questions对应，表示所存在的问题。D项conflicts“冲突，争论”与interest 搭配意为“利益冲突”。
(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）
A.improvement
B.endeavor √
C.advantage
D.element
解析：解析：空格后的内容是修饰空格名词的定语从句，意为“学生辍学去做……”，这是一种尝试，故选B项endea vor“努力，尝试”。另外，in an endeavor与本文第三段第一句最后出现的in aneffort用法一致。
(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）
A.endear
B.endanger
C.enlarge
D.enrich √
解析：解析：第一段提到有十几名学生辍学到Clinkle公司工作，本段第二句表明如果一切顺利，很多人都会得到丰厚回报，包括教职工(详见第4题)。由此可推断出，学生辍学到Clinkle公司工作会对教职工有益。D项enrich“使……富足”符合语义。
(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）
A.heading √
B.leading
C.running

C.firm
D.wide
解析：解析：联邦电报公司和惠普公司的创始人William Hewlett and David Packard、谷歌创始人Larry Page and Sergey Brin均是斯坦福大学的校友，而这三家公司均是出自硅谷的知名企业，可见斯坦福和硅谷的关系应该是密不可分的，故选择B项deep“深的”。
(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）
A.founds
B.keeps
C.nurtures √
D.impedes
解析：解析：本句承接上文继续论述斯坦福大学与硅谷的关系。上半句提到斯坦福养育(feeds)了硅谷．表示并列的关联词and表明，反过来说，硅谷也会给斯坦福带来了许多益处。C项nurtures“养育”与feeds 语义对应，且符合逻辑。
(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）
A.without √
B.with
C.on
D.except
解析：解析：one．．．the other分别指代斯坦福和硅谷。上文论述了二者之间密不可分的关系，因此所填入的介词需能体现二者关系。将A项without代入本空格表示“斯坦福与硅谷谁也离不开谁”，符合语义逻辑。
(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）
A.however
B.unless
C.if √
D.since
解析：解析：空格前的内容为该句主句部分，空格后为从句，从句指出学生们辍学去创业致富(dropout…to get rich)，主句提出设问：这么做的意义何在?从逻辑上判断该从句应是主句的条件。故选C项if“如果”。
(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）
A.potential √
B.disposed
C.hidden
D.implicit
解析：解析：本空格需要填入一个形容词修饰investors(投资人)，说明辍学创业的学生与导师的可能关系。文章首段对此有描述，如教工on the board等，因此A项potential“潜在的，可能的”为正确答案．表明导师是潜在的投资人。
(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）
A.criticizes
B.inspires √
C.discourages
D.pulls
解析：解析：本句顺接上文，用反问句的形式表明大学本应该是什么样的地方。to work at what-ever．．．you 与to think，to read，to meet new people是并列的成分。本空格所在的宾语从句应指出学生在大学里应为什么而努力(work)。B项inspires“鼓舞”，常常带有“启迪，启发”的意思，符合语义逻辑。
(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）
A.adaptable
B.active
C.careful
D.brilliant √
解析：解析：本句提到斯坦福大学曾为社会输出过各类毕业生，其中包括嬉皮士、小说家、政治家、运动员。本段第一句提到学生们辍学去淘金致富(drop out in an effort to get rich fast)。此空格需要填入一个形容词修饰dropouts(辍学生)，这些辍学生应与上述的优秀人才可以相提并论。D项brilliant“杰出的，才华出众的”符合语义。
(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）
A.if
B.so
C.though √
D.unless
解析：解析：上文提到斯坦福曾经为社会输出了大批优秀人才。空格后表明现在斯坦福似乎依然能培养出人才。下句是对本句的进一步说明。本段第三句But表明语义转折，所以此空格处应填入表示语义让步的并列连词，C项though“虽然，尽管”符合语义逻辑。
(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）
A.gravity √
B.weight
C.height
D.strength
解析：解析：本题是固定搭配题。A项gravity表示“重力”，the center of gravity是固定搭配，表示“重心”，此处用于说明大学的工作侧重点，即斯坦福大学的重心。
(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）
A.improved
B.shifted √
C.reformed
D.strengthened
解析：解析：本段首句的seems like、第二句的still及第三句的But表明大学的身份不再像从前那样确凿，因此可以推断出现在的大学跟以前可能不太一样了。B项shifted“转变”符合语义逻辑。
(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）
A.adjusts to
B.acts as
C.equals to
D.looks like √
解析：解析：该句的主语是The school，表语是a giant tech incubator(巨大的技术孵化器)。空格后的内容是一个比喻，故选D项looks like“看起来像”。
The highest anxiety moment in the holiday season must be the moment just before your loved ones unwrap their gifts. The ribbon comes untied, the paper falls to the floor—what will their expression be?【C1】______out the right gift can be very difficult, and we can easily make mistakes. Before【C2】______a gift, we all ask ourselves two questions: How much to spend and what to get.【C3】______both questions are complex, the more complex one by far is what to get. We may not know the exact【C4】______of the other person;【C5】______we know what kind of gift they would absolutely love, we might still not know the exact color, size, etc.【C6】______these risks, giving an ill-suited gift risks showing the other person exactly how little we really know them. And
from there the path to a【C7】______relationship is short The risk of giving the wrong thing is 【C8】______gift givers often end up giving consumables such as wine and chocolate. After all, these are unlikely to be the "wrong" gift for anyone. But there"s a【C9】______: These safe gifts are not very "gifty" and are unlikely to strengthen our relationship with the recipient【C10】______, when we give jewelry, art, or furniture, we take a risk that the other person will not like the【C11】______. But these risky gifts are more "gifty" and, if they are successful, will 【C12】______their goal of strengthening the social【C13】______between the person giving the gift and the person【C14】______it. So how much risk do most gift givers take? Not surprisingly, the majority of givers don"t risk giving more risky gifts. But were they right in playing it 【C15】______? In short: They were not. A research showed that, in general, gift givers don"t 【C16】______how much others will enjoy their gift.【C17】______, gift receivers preferred the riskier gift and wished that gift givers took more【C18】______. So perhaps this holiday season we should put an extra effort into gift giving. Let"s throw caution to the winds,【C19】______the wine, chocolates, and gift certificates and give real gifts. The biggest risk is being【C20】______.（分数：40.00）
(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）
A.Turning
B.Taking
C.Figuring √
D.Drawing
解析：解析：此空格需要填入一个能与the right gift搭配的动名词构成主语，right(对的，正确的)表明存在选择，且该词应与介词out搭配，其表语是very difficult。C项Figuring，Figuring out表示“找出”，隐含需要付出努力才能完成的意思。符合语义逻辑。
(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）
A.taking
B.bringing
C.making
D.picking √
解析：解析：空格后提到我扪会问自己两个问题：要花多少钱和买什么(How much to spend andwhat to get)，两者都指向购买礼物这个举动。因此选D项picking“挑选”。
(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）
A.While √
B.When
C.Because
D.If
解析：解析：前半句在空格后提出“这两个问题都很复杂”，后半句表明“该买什么礼物更为复杂”。语义上存在让步关系，答案只能选A项While“虽然，尽管”。
(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）
A.details
B.intentions
C.habits
D.preferences √
解析：解析：分号后的句子与本句是并列关系，what kind of gift they would absolutely love表示“什么类型的礼物是他们绝对会喜欢的”。D项preferences“偏好”符合，与of the other person搭配表示“另一个人的喜好”。
(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）
A.so that
B.even if √
C.even so
解析：解析：该句的后半部分提到，我们可能仍不知道他们喜欢的颜色、大小等。still(仍然，还是)一词暗含语意上的转折关系。由于空格在句首，因此需要填入一个表让步关系的逻辑词。选项中只有B项even if“即使”可以表让步。
(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）
A.With √
B.without
C.from
D.on
解析：解析：these risks指代上句提到的我们在挑选礼物时不知道收礼人的喜好。本空格需填入介词与these risks构成状语。说明状语与主句的逻辑关系。状语和本句主干部分内容“赠送不恰当的礼物
(ill-suited gift)会向另一个人暴露出我们对他们的了解有多么的少”存在因果关系。A项With+名词的结构作状语可以表原因或理由。
(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）
A.fluctuated
B.reinforced
C.deteriorated √
D.improved
解析：解析：And表明本句与上句是顺接关系，from there(至此)指的是自从赠送不恰当的礼物后，由此可判断本句是说明送礼不当而引发的人际关系(relationship)的变化。C项deteriorated“恶化的”与an ill-suited gift语义呼应，故正确。
(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）
A.how
B.that
C.where
D.why √
解析：解析：主句的内容是赠送不恰当礼物面临的风险，表语从句的内容是很多送礼者最终常常会送一些像是红酒、巧克力这样的消费品；下一句进一步解释说明之所以送这些东西是因为不会出错(unlikely to be the“wrong”gift for anyone)。由此可判断主句的内容为表语从句的原因，故选D项why，表示“这也就是为什么……”。
(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）
A.catch √
B.trick
C.fraud
D.temptation
解析：解析：冒号后的内容是对此空格的进一步说明：这些礼物虽然安全但是却不像“礼物”，因此空格处应填入一个能描述送礼者左右为难、顾此失彼的处境的词语。A项catch作名词时有“隐藏的困难，意料不到的复杂情况”之意，符合上下文语义。
(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）
A.By chance
B.In contrast √
C.As usual
D.For instance
解析：解析：上文提到保险的礼品not very“gifty”，本句接着说我们送珠宝、艺术品或家具这些典型的礼物时存在风险(we take a risk)，但下一句却说这些有风险的礼物却more“gifty”。从语义上看是对比关系。故选B项In contrast“相反地，相比之下”。
(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）
A.material
B.goods
D.item √
解析：解析：此空格需填入一个名词指代上半句提到的珠宝、艺术品或家具，D项item“物品”符合语义逻辑。
(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）
A.acquire
B.achieve √
C.inquire
D.require
解析：解析：if表明送风险较大的礼物一旦成功会产生的结果；此空格需填入能与goal“目标”搭配的动词在句中作谓语。B项achieve“达到；实现”，强调通过努力而达到目的，与goal搭配表示“达到……的目的”，符合语义逻辑。
(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）
A.group
B.movement
C.fabric √
D.security
解析：解析：本段第二句These safe gifts are not very“gifty”与本句But these risky giftsare more“gifty”语义对应。所以前者的strengthen our relationship应该与本句的strengthening the social．．．所表达的内容一致。选C项fabric，social fabric“关系网”等同于relationship。
(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）
A.receiving √
B.lending
C.sending
D.permitting
解析：解析：between后面表明的是送礼和收礼双方的情况，空格前的the person giving the gift指“送礼的人”，故空格处应填A项receiving，表明收礼的人。
(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）
A.risky
B.feasible
C.tempting
D.safe √
解析：解析：上文提到大多数礼物赠送者不会赠送一些风险性的礼品，因为他们不愿意担风险。本句顺接上文，用设问句的形式表明事实并非如此。本题需填入一个形容词作为it的宾语补足语，而it指代givers don"t risk giving more risky gifts。D项safe与don"t risk语义呼应，且play itsafe是固定搭配，表示“谨慎行事”，故选D项。
(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）
A.praise
B.applaud
C.appreciate √
D.identify
解析：解析：下一句提到gift receivers preferred the riskier gift，说明收受礼物的人喜欢这样的礼物，而送礼者却不敢冒风险，原因是他们不知道他们的礼物会受欢迎。C项appreciate“意识到”符合逻辑。
(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）
A.Therefore
B.Furthermore √
C.Otherwise
D.Though
解析：解析：上句谈论gift givers(送礼人)的情况，而空格所在句谈论gift receivers(收礼人)的情况。四个选项中，只有B项Furthermore“而且，此外”代入句中符合逻辑，表示递进关系。
(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）
A.effects
B.turns
C.advantages
D.chances √
解析：解析：上半句提到礼物收受者更喜欢那些有风险的礼物，and表并列，表明他们希望礼物赠送者怎么做。上文提到礼物赠送者不愿冒险去赠送一些风险性的礼品。所以本题语境应与动词risk语义相关，take chance也表示“冒险”，故选D项chances。
(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）
A.skip √
B.throw
C.choose
D.lose
解析：解析：throw caution to the winds意为“抛开谨慎，冒险一搏”，即鼓励人们赠送有风险的礼物。而空格后的wine，chocolates，and gift certificates都是not very “gifty”的礼物，与realgifts 相反。所以此空格应填入give的反义词，选A项skip“抛开”。
(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）
A.dangerous
B.boring √
C.absurd
D.extravagant
解析：解析：上文多次提到送礼者选择礼物过于保守，而本段的建议是give real gifts(即riskygifts)。biggest risk“最大的风险”说明总是送consumables会产生什么后果，这样的礼物毫无新意。B项boring“乏味的”符合语义逻辑。

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

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 √

It's starting to seem like it. Everybody hates them, and nobody can remember all the ones they've【C1】______. These days a typical internet user has dozens of online accounts. If you really want to be safe, you need to have a different password for each one, and each password needs to be incredibly【C2】______, with a mix of capital letters,【C3】______, and numbers. Who can keep all that stuff in their head? Most people don't【C4】______. Some just make up one password and use it everywhere while others might have a few passwords for different usages. Problem is that【C5】______one site gets attacked by hackers, they now have the password that you use elsewhere. In one recent attack on Sony, millions of accounts were exposed. Computer scientists realize the system is【C6】______and they're looking for alternatives. But most【C7】______haven't been very good. Fingerprint readers require special hardware, and smart cards can be lost or【C8】______. "We've tried【C9】______other approaches, but we end up back with passwords. They're the least【C10】______in a series of bad options," says a security consultant. Markus Jakobsson, a veteran security researcher with a Ph.D. in computer science, has come up with something he calls "fastwords." Instead of【C11】______a meaningless and obscure password, you join three simple words that come from a【C12】______known only to you. If one day you were driving to work and【C13】______a frog that ended up flat, you might choose "frog work flat." Some【C14】______: You can enter the three words【C15】______any order ("flat frog work"), and the system 【C16】______knows that you're you. If you totally【C17】______, the fastword system will tell you one of the three words, which should enable you to remember the【C18】______idea and thus the three keywords. Jakobsson says one large service provider is evaluating the fast-words concept. Fastwords【C19】______a step in the right direction, 【C20】______it's not the promised land. Someone, somehow, needs to come up with something completely different— and radically better—than what we have today.（分数：40.00） (1).【C1】（分数：2.00） A.tested B.created √ C.told D.measured 解析：解析：前一句讲到，每个人都很讨厌密码，没有人能记下所有的密码。根据常识，这些密码都是你 自己创建的，故选B项created“创建”。 (2).【C2】（分数：2.00） A.irrational B.confidential C.personal https://www.360docs.net/doc/f64451709.html,plicated √ 解析：解析：如果真正想要让你的账号安全，密码的设置当然是越复杂越好，故选D项complicated“复 杂的”，与空格后的mix(混合)相呼应。 (3).【C3】（分数：2.00） A.symbols √ B.images

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, xx 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 ing 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 bee lazy and depressed. Indeed, today's unemployed don't seem to be having a great time. One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression, double the rate for working Americans. Also, some research suggests that the explanation for rising rates of mortality, mental-health problems, and addiction among poorly-educated, middle-aged people is a shortage of well-paid jobs. Another study shows that people are often happier at work than in their free time. Perhaps this is why many worry about the agonizing dullness of a jobless future. But it doesn't necessarily follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with

Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.（分数：40.00） __________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析： We"ve been hearing about it for years, but the bookless library has finally arrived, first appearing on college campuses. At Drexel University"s new Library Learning Terrace, which opened just last month, there is not a bound【C1】______, just rows of computers and plenty of seating offering【C2】______to the Philadelphia university"s 170 million【C3】______items. Scott Erdy, designer of the new library, says open,【C4】______space allows student and staff "knowledge transfer," a concept【C5】______by Danuta Nitecki, dean of Drexel"s libraries. "We don"t【C6】______house books, we house learning," she says. The trend began, naturally,【C7】______engineers, when Kansas State University"s engineering library went primarily bookless several years ago. Last year, Stanford University【C8】______all but 10,000 printed books from its new engineering library, making more room【C9】______large tables and study areas. And the University of Texas a-bandoned print【C10】______electronic material when it opened its engineering library last year. But when books disappear, does a library lose its【C11】______? "The library is a social tent pole," says Michael Connelly, a best-selling author. "There are a lot of ideas under it.【C12】______the pole and the tent comes down." Connelly says that browsing through【C13】______books brings inspiration of the kind that led him from【C14】______his campus library"s stacks straight to a writing【C15】______. "Can something like that happen in a bookless library? I"m not so sure," he says. From a design perspective, some architects also【C16】______the inevitable trend toward booklessness. Steven Holl, architect of Queens Library"s new branch, in New York City, says books still provide character and are a nice counterpoint to technology. "A book【C17】______knowledge, and striking a balance in a library is a good thing." He says.【C18】______other designers, seem inspired by the challenge presented by a world going bookless. Others are hedging their bets that 【C19】______the library isn"t bookless now, someday it probably will be. To most people, it is best when paper and electronic【C20】______are both available.（分数：40.00） (1).【C1】（分数：2.00） A.document B.volume √ C.data D.script 解析：解析：段首提到无纸化图书馆出现了，此句说该大学的图书馆中只有成排的电脑和座位，故可知此处与段首句中的bookless相呼应，故选B项volume。bound volume意为“合订本”。 (2).【C2】（分数：2.00） A.shortcut B.access √ C.solution D.exit 解析：解析：句中提到“无纸化图书馆里没有书，只有电脑和座位”，空格后的to指向的对象是items，而电脑和座位是为查阅图书而提供的设施，故B项access“通道；使用权”最符合句意。 (3).【C3】（分数：2.00） A.visual B.printed
