河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第2期55分钟课堂练习第一节：完形填空There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own 45 .Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions.You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.36. A. easy B. ready C. unwilling D. hard37.

Animals do what they are told, there is no disease, and lending folks a helping hand makes you richer and wiser. Welcome to FarmVille — current population 69m and rising fast.“It reminds me of my childhood,” says one player, Lia Curran, 37, a chemist from London. “Right now I’m growing wheat and poinsettia, I’ve got a small orchard, and I’m keeping some chickens and some cows. I like having the animals. It’s comfortable.”Curran’s young animals, howev er, are nothing more than a collection of computer-controlled cartoons. FarmVille is an online computer game built into the social networking site Facebook and is described by its players as “addictive”. Launched last June by Zynga Game Network, FarmVille now has more players than Twiter’s entire user base — or more than the population of the UK. The players are largely women over the age of 35.Jenny Glyn, 33, a London housewife, started playing in September. “I had a look at a friend’s farm and was hooked,” she says. “My first motivation was to overtake her, but I did that pretty quickly. Now there’s something satisfying about growing crops.”FarmVille intellectually unites the worlds of social networking and gaming. Players are given a patch of ground wit h six fields, “cash”, a few seeds and a plough and have to build up wealth, skills and neighbors to create bigger, better, richer farms.Inviting your online friends to play means you earn more and get free gifts; you rise rapidly through the first levels but, once hooked, have to work harder and harder with no final level or goal in sight.“It’s very moreish,” says Curran. She hasn’t yet paid real-world money to advance in the game, but her friends do. One buys extra virtual currency at the exchange rate of $240 (£145) in FarmVille for $40 (£24) in the real world.“I’d expanded on FarmVille as much as I could, but I just wanted a pond and some bushes and trees around it,” says the woman, who is too embarrassed to be named. “I didn’t tell my husband I’d paid real money because he’d think I’m mad. But then he did keep me waiting in the car outside our house while he harvested his raspberries.”Brian Dudley, chief executive at Broadway Lodge, an addiction treatment centre, warns that this sort of obsessive(令人着魔的) play can lead to an addiction as severe as gambling.56. What does Curran do in the passage?A. She is a player.B. She is a farmer who grows wheat and poinsettia.C. She is a chemist.D. She is a housewife who raises chickens and cows.57. By FarmVille, the writer means ______.A. an addictive farm on which live 69 million farmersB. a London housewife’s farmC. an online computer game built into the social networking siteD. a farm on which people grow real crops and play as well58. In the last but one paragraph, the husband kept the woman waiting outside ______.A. because he was angry at his wife’s being mad about the farmB. because he himself was busy with his farmC. in order to punish his wife for her having paid real moneyD. so that his wife would wake up from her addiction to the farm59. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The population of the UK is less than 69 million.B. This sort of obsessive play can cause very severe addiction.C. Once hooked, one has to make greater efforts to reach a higher level.D. Up till now, nobody has yet paid real-world money to advance in the playBA new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorter lives in northern China.Researchers estimate that the half-billion people alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5years less than their southern counterparts because they breathed dirtier air.China itself made the comparison possible: for decades, a now-discontinued government policy provided free coal for heating, but only in the colder north. Researchers found significant differences in both particulate pollution of the air and life expectancy in the two regions.While previous studies have found that pollution affects human health, "the deeper and ultimately more important question is the impact on life expectancy," said one of the researchers, Michael Greenstone, a professor of environmental economics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology."This study provides a unique setting to answer the life expectancy question because the (heating) policy dramatically changes pollution concentrations（含量）Greenstone said in an email. "Further, due to the low rates of migration in China in this period, we can know people's exposure over long time periods," he said.The policy gave free coal for fuel boilers to heat homes and offices to cities north of the Huai Riv which divides China into north and south. It was in effect for much of the 1950-1980 period of central planning, and, though discontinued after 1980, it has left a legacy（遗留）in the north of heavy coal burning, which releases particulate pollutants into the air that can harm human health. Researchers found no other government policies that treated China's north differently from the south.The researchers collected data for 90 cities, from 1981 to 2000, on the annual daily average concentration of total suspended（悬浮的）particulates. In China, those are considered to be particulates that are 100 micrometers or less in diameter, sent out from sources including power stations, construction sites and vehicles. Among them, PM2.5 is of especially great health concern because it can go deep into the lungs.The researchers estimated the impact on life expectancies using death data from 1991-2000．They found that in the north, the concentration of particulates was 184 micrograms per cubic meter一or 55 percent higher than in the south, and life expectancies were 5.5 years lower on average across all age ranges.60. The main idea of this passage is that＿A. research in China finds air pollution shortened life expectancyB the government provided free coal for heating in North ChinaC coal burning causes bad air quality across ChinaD. a new study finds different particulates in South China61．According to Greenstone,＿greatly contributed to the high pollution concentrations i n North China.A. power stationsB. construction sitesC. the free heating policyD. gases fromvehicles62．It is implied in the passage that＿·A. coal is no longer used for heating in North ChinaB air quality was comparatively better in South ChinaC. southerners burned coals for heating in the 1980sD people preferred to live in South China after 198063．The underlined word "particulates" most probably means＿．A. dirty cloudsB. particular smokeC. harmful dustD. dangerous bacteriaCBeing honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It's not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it's more importantly about being honest with yourself.Living your life honestly means that you've decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in 'dark corners'. When you're dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually. Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome life's problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals.You'll have no doubt heard expressions such as "what goes around, comes around" and "you get back, what you give out in life" and that's very true. If you don't live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people you'll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and it's therefore unavoidable that one day you'11 be on the receiving end of someone's dishonest actions or words.There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he can't go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isn't going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, it's often better to be economical(经济的) with the truth. You might say that you don't know why John can't go or that you think he has something on that weekend." Of course, this isn't telling the complete truth but you are sparing Paul's feelings on something that won't, after all, have strong influence on Paul's future.64. If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to______.A. follow your destinationB. be true to yourselfC. plan your personal developmentD. accept honest people as ends65. What does a dishonest man probably do?A. He keeps all his things secret.B. He doesn't want to be trustworthy.C. He depends much on others.D. He stops growing any taller.66. The passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_____.A. suffer from dishonestyB. become very attractiveC. influence honest peopleD. have attractive friends67 The example in the last paragraph is used to prove that______.A. we should always tell the truthB. John is not a trustworthy personC. telling lies causes pain on someone elseD. sometimes we can't be completely honest68. What is the main idea of the passage?A. We should be economical with the truth.B. People can gain from dishonesty.C. Honesty helps you develop.D. Trust produces confidence.DIt is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping i t. The word “huh?” is in worldwide use, a study found.Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include “huh?”, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly, the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech. Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.But while other words used in the same context, such as “sorry” or “what”, vary wid ely across languages, “huh?” remains unchanged.The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world, including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language, as well as Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.They analysed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like “huh?” and were used to request that whatever had just been said be repeated. All contained a version of “huh?”. The word was also found in another 21 languages. While the re were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same.This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing. For instance, the Japanese for “dog” is “inu”, while the French is “chien”. It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?” because the sound is quick and simple to form, as well as being easily understood.The researchers, said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like “huh?” but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication. They also have an answer for those who claim that “huh?” isn’t a word. They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages. It also can be considered a word because it’s something we learn to say, rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.69.According to researchers, the word “huh?” is very important in speech because of ________.A. its stable meaning in language developmentB. its important function in communicationC. its simple and easy sound and spellingD. its popularity in every language70. What is the natural response if you hear the lady you’re speaking to say “huh?”?A. You should ask her to repeat what she says before that.B. You should apologize to her for speaking in a low voice.C. You should invite her to share her different views politely.D. You should try to repeat what you’ve just said in a clearer way.71. The main method used in the research of “huh?” was ________.A. interviewing language experts in universitiesB. talking with people from ten different countriesC. analyzing the recorded conversations in different languagesD. comparing different words with the same meaning in different languages72. According to researchers, “huh?” should be considered a word rather than a sound because ________.A. it is listed in most dictionariesB. it is something humans learn to sayC. there is a clear and consistent spelling of the wordD. there is a big difference in the way it pronounces in different languages73.. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To inform readers about research on the worldwide used word “huh?”.B. To argue that “huh?” is the most important word in every lan guage.C. To entertain readers by relating similar idioms in different languages.D. To instruct readers of the differences of “huh?” in different languages.七选五Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen, you’re going through big changes physically an d mentally. Your interests are expanding. _73__Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents all not angry, tired, distracted,or hungry.
