Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with ___62___ schedules of not just classes and activities, but real ___63___, too.This isn’t a(n) ___64___ phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. The ___65___ can help pay for tuition and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it ___66___ the direct cause: such jobs can also be ___67___ for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to___68___ a job after graduation.

In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like____76____ in zero gravity. However, without____77____, there are also plenty of things astronauts can’t do, and that’s very____78____. What’s worse, they can’t even let their sadness show — because it’s impossible to ____79____ in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space.Because of their ____80____ environment, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes.This____81____ that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go — theyjust____82____ there. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew J. Feustel____83____ this during one of his spacewalks.Besides making your ____84____ unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring _____85_____ to the eyes. But that’s not the case in space. “My right eye is painful like crazy,” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel _____86_____ to rub (擦) his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait. “When the tears get big enough they_____87_____ break free of the eye and float around,” astronaut Ron Parise said.In space, astronauts can’t eat or drink in _____88_____ ways. Nor can they talk to each other directly. They can’t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food_____89_____in their stomach. If they do burp, they just _____90_____ throwing up everything in their stomach. Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say, “Gravity, you’re the best.”76.A.leaping B.floating C.eating D.talking 77.A.gravity B.doubt C.aid D.effort 78.A.risky B.lifelike C.sad D.unfortunate 79.A.foresee B.view C.pray D.cry 80.A.dangerous B.extreme C.stable D.weightless 81.A.expects B.means C.demands D.shows 82.A.meet B.develop C.stay D.leave 83.A.witnessed B.acknowledged C.experienced D.suffered 84.A.mind B.vision C.sense D.idea 85.A.peace B.disaster C.stress D.comfort 86.A.chose B.decided C.stopped D.hesitated 87.A.fluently B.exactly C.efficiently D.simply 88.A.regular B.normal C.particular D.rational 89.A.out B.off C.down D.up90.A.give up B.end up C.put off D.feel like参考答案:1.B2.A3.D4.C5.A6.C7.D8.B9.A10.D11.B12.C13.A14.D15.C【导语】本篇是一篇记叙文。

高考英语完形填空2008年Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist (打击乐器独奏演员) in spite of her disability.―Early on I decided not to allow the 36 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 37 piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion (酷爱) for music grew. But I also began to gradually lose my 38. Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the 39 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never 40 me.―My 41 was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I 42 to hear music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can 43 the pitch of a note (音调高低) by the vibrations (振动). I feel through my body and through my 44. My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every 45 that I have.―I was 46 to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had 47 this before and some teachers 48 my admission. Based on my performance, I was 49 admitted and went to 50 with the academy’s highest honors.―After that, I established myself as the first f ull-time solo percussionist. I 51 and arranged a lot of musical compositions since 52 had been written specially for solo percussionists.―I have been a soloist for over ten years. 53 the doctor thought was a totally deaf, it didn’t54 that my passion cou ldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be55 by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart, they will lead you to the place you want to go.‖36.

Limited2009年The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student.39 a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a 40 about what they have learned.Supporters claim that there are many 41 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 42 their own interests and become 43 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 44 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 45 , students can explore possible careers 46 service learning.For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 47 there are many benefits, opponents (反对者)48 problems with the new requirement. First, they 49 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 53 , I don’t believe you should force people to help others –the 54 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.36. A. spend B. gain C .complete D. save37. A. and B. or C. but D. for38. A. Subjects B.

No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my ___43 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She ___44 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors.

I had my truck and $56. I 38 teh countryside for some place I could rent for the 39 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 40 thePotomac River in West Virginia. It was 41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 42 a corner to camp in.The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of 47 .What I have believed in, all those things I thought were 48 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 49 on teh mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 50 with my neighbors.Four years later, I moved back into 51 . I saw many people were having a really hard time, 52 their jobs and homes. I managed to reant a big enough house to 53 a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places.

And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of theliterature in the years before the Civil War. H. B. Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twain’s novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twains most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel ―trash and suitable only for the slums (贫民窟).‖ More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurences of the word nigger. (The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities, ―the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.‖There is much more. Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twain’s tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and, for fe ar that the child should be sold South, switched him for the master’s baby by his wife. The slave’s light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The master’s wife’s baby was tak en for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss: nurture (养育), not nature, was the key to social status. The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech, for example—were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twain’s racial tone was not perfect. One is left uneasy, for example, by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自传) about how much he loved what we re called ―nigger shows‖ in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black-face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them. Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality. His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the ―wisdom‖ of the considered moral judgments of the present, we will find nothing but error. Lincoln, who believed the black manthe inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him. And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.65. How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?A. Twain was more willing to deal with racism.B. Twain’s attack on racism was much less open.C. Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots.D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.66. Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its _____.A. target readers at the bottomB. anti-slavery attitudeC. rather impolite languageD. frequent use of ―nigger‖67. What best proves Twain’s anti-slavery stand according to the author?A. Jim’s search for his family was described in detail.B. The slave’s voice was first heard in American novels.C. Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.D. Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.68. The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that _____.A. slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB. slaves’ babies could pick up slave-hol ders’ way of speakingC. blacks’ social position was shaped by how they were brought upD. blacks were born with certain features of prejudice69. What does the underlined word ―they‖ in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. The attacks.B. Slavery and prejudice.C. White men.D. The shows.70. What does the author mainly argue for?A.

For many British people, that can apply to institutions and objects that represent their country’s past-age-old castles, splendid homes… and red phone boxes.Beaten first by the march of technology and lately by the terrible weather in junkyards (废品场), the phone boxes representative of an age are now making something of a comeback. Adapted in imaginative ways, many have reappeared on city streets and village greens housing tiny cafes, cellphone repair shops or even defibrillator machines (除颤器).The original iron boxes with the round roofs first appeared in 1926. They were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect of the Battersea Power Station in London. After becoming an important part of many British streets, the phone boxes began disappearing in the 1980s, with the rise of the mobile phone sending most of them away to the junkyards.About that time, Tony Inglis’ engineering and transport company got the job to remove phone boxes from the streets and sell them out. But Inglis ended up buying hundreds of them himself, with the idea of repairing and selling them. He said that he had heard the calls to preserve the boxes and had seen how some of them were listed as historic buildings.As Inglis and, later other businessmen, got to work, repurposed phone boxes began reappearing in cities and villages as people found new uses for them. Today, they are once again a familiar sight, playing roles that are often just as important for the community as their original purpose.In rural areas, where ambulances can take a relatively long time to arrive, the phone boxes have taken on a lifesaving role. Local organizations can adopt them for l pound, and install defibrillators to help in emergencies.Others also looked at the phone boxes and saw business opportunities. LoveFone, a company that advocates repairing cellphones rather than abandoning them, opened a mini workshop in a London phone box in 2016.The tiny shops made economic sense, according to Robert Kerr, a founder of LoveFone. He said that one of the boxes generated around $13,500 in revenue a month and cost only about $400 to rent.Inglis said phone boxes called to mind an age when things were built to last. I “like what they are to people, and I enjoy bringing things back,” he said.58. The phone boxes are making a comeback ______.A. to form a beautiful sight of the cityB. to improve telecommunications servicesC. to remind people of a historical periodD. to meet the requirement of green economy59. Why did the phone boxes begin to go out of service in the 1980s?A. They were not well-designed.B. They provided bad services.C. They had too short a history.D. They lost to new technologies.60. The phone boxes are becoming popular mainly because of ______.A. their new appearance and lower pricesB. the push of the local organizationsC. their changed roles and functionsD. the big funding of the businessmen3、 For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men’s fitness andresting metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists’ lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men’s blood and fat tissue.Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories (卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.61. The underlined expression “stomach it” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.A. digest the meal easilyB. manage without breakfastC. decide wisely what to eatD. eat whatever is offered62. Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?A. Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.B. Their lack of exercise led to overweight.C. They could walk at an average speed.D. They had slow metabolic rates.63. What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?A. They successfully lost weight.B. They consumed a bit more calories.C. They burned more fat on average.D. They displayed higher insulin levels.64. What could be learned from the research?A. A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.B. Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.C. Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.D. Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.4、 I was in the middle of the Amazon (亚马逊) with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We flew on a small plane to a faraway village. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.We were raised on books and computers, highways and cell phones, but now we were living in a village without running water or electricity It was easy for us to go to sleep at the end of the day feeling a little misunderstood.Then one perfect Amazonian evening, with monkeys calling from beyond the village green, we played soccer. I am not good at soccer, but that evening it was wonderful. Everyone knew the rules. We all spoke the same language of passes and shots. We understood one another perfectly. As darkness came over the field and the match ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way, “In your home, do you have a moon too?” I was surprised.After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of awe (敬畏) at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juan’s world, each village could have its own moon. In Juan’s world. the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. Anything was possible.In our society, we know that Earth has only one moon. We have looked at our planet from every angle and found all of the wildest things left to find. I can, from my computer at home, pull up satellite images of Juan’s village. There are no more continents and no more moons to search for, little left to discover. At least it seems that way.Yet, as I thought about Juan’s question, I was not sure how much more we could really rule out. I am, in part, an ant biologist, so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant (无知的) are we? The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider…, and on and on they appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The second drawer began to fill and as it did I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there, not just species, but life that depends on things thought to be useless, life even without DNA. I started a third drawer for these big discoveries. It fills more slowly, but all the same, it fills.In looking into the stories of biological discovery, I also began to find something else, a collection of scientists, usually brilliant occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them, and they focus on them to the point of exhaustion (穷尽), and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery, I found the stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.We are repeatedly willing to imagine we have found most of what is left to discover. We used to think that insects were the smallest organisms (生物), and that nothing lived deeper than six hundred meters. Yet, when something new turns up, more often than not, we do not even know its name.65. How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?A. Out of place.B. Full of joy.C. Sleepy.D. Regretful.66. What made that Amazonian evening wonderful?A. He learned more about the local language.B. They had a nice conversation with each other.C. They understood each other while playing.D. He won the soccer game with the goal keeper.67. Why was the author surprised at Juan’s question about the moon?A. The question was too straightforward.B. Juan knew so little about the world.C. The author didn’t know how to answer.D. The author didn’t think Juan was sincere.68. What was the author’s initial purpose of collecting newspaper articles?A. To sort out what we have known.B. To deepen his research into Amazonians.C. To improve his reputation as a biologist.D. To learn more about local cultures.69. How did those brilliant scientists make great discoveries?A. They shifted their viewpoints frequently.B. They followed other scientists closely.C. They often criticized their fellow scientists.D. They conducted in-depth and close studies.70. What could be the most suitable title for the passage?A. The Possible and the Impossible .B. The Known and the Unknown .C. The Civilized and the Uncivilized .D. The Ignorant and the Intelligent.5、请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
