高考英语完形填空巩固练习精品题(21)
2014高考英语完形填空巩固练习精品题（21）及答案(2012·银川一中第四次考试)The common cold is the world's most widespread illness，which is a plague that man receives.The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly，with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds，it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated Arctic regions，explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War，soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches，cold and wet，seldom caught colds.In the Second World War，prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp，naked and starved，were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England，volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits，allowed themselves to be with cold water，and then stood about dripping wet in a room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If then，cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds，why are they more frequent in winter？Despite the hardest research，no one has yet found out the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times，and that makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and painkillers such as aspirin，but all that they do is to relieve the symptoms.67．The writer offered ______ examples to support his argument.A．4 B．5 C．6 D．368．Arctic explorers may catch colds when ______.A．they work in the isolated Arctic regionsB．they write reports in terribly cold weatherC．they are free from work in the isolated Arctic regionsD． they come into touch with people with colds from the outside world69．Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit ______.A．suffered a lot B．never caught coldsC．often caught colds D．became very strong70．The passage mainly discusses ______.A．the experiments on the common cold B．the false belief about the common cold C．the reason why people catch colds D．the continued spread of the common cold67．B 通读全文可知，作者共列举了五个例子来证明自己的观点，分别是Eskimos，explorers in isolated Arctic regions，soldiers in the First World War，prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp和volunteers in experiments。

中石油2011年职称英语21至30课完形填空仿真测试题
通用英语水平考试21至30课选词完形填空题命题：张福华2010年3月20日( A )She chattered little girl talk 1other things. When I left for home, Wendy said it had been a happy day. Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled 2 her and agreed. Three weeks later, I rushed to my beach in a state 3 near panic. I was 4 no mood to even greet Wendy. I thought I saw her mother 5 the porch and felt like demanding she keep her child at home. “Look, if you don't mind,” I said crossly when Wendy caught 6 with me, “I'd rather be alone today.” She seems unusually pale and 7 of breath. “Why?” she asked. I turned 8 her and shouted, “Because my mother died!” --- and thought, my God, why was I saying this to a little child? “Oh,” she said quietly, “then this is a bad day.”“Yes, and yesterday and the day before and --- oh, go 9 !”“Did it hurt?”“Did what hurt?” I was exasperated 10 her, with myself. “When she died?”“Of course it hurt!” I snapped, misunderstanding, wrapped up in myself. I strode 11 . A month or so after that, when I next went to the beach, she wasn't there. Feeling guilty, ashamed and admitting to myself that I missed her, I went up to the cottage 12 my walk and knocked at the door. A drawn looking young woman with honey-colored hair opened the door. “Hello,” I said. “I'm Ruth Peterson.I missed your little girl today and wondered 13 sh e was.”“Oh yes, Mrs. Peterson, please come in. Wendy talked 14 you so much. I'm afraid I allowed her to bother you. If she was a nuisance, please, accept my apologies.”“Not at all --- she's a delightful child,” I said, suddenly realizing that I meant it. “Where is she?”“Wendy died 15 week, Mrs. Peterson. She had leukemia. Maybe she didn't tell you.” Struck dumb, I groped for a chair. My breath caught. “She loved this beach; so 16 she asked to come, we couldn't say no. She seemed so much better here and had a lot of 17 she called happy days. But the last few weeks, she declined rapidly...” her voice faltered, “She left something 18 you ... if only I can find it. Could you wait a moment 19 I look?” I nodded stupidly, my mind racing for something, anything, to say to this lovely young woman. She handed me a smeared envelope, with MRS. P printed in bold, childish letters. Inside was a drawing in bright crayon hues --- a yellow beach, a blue sea, and a brown bird. Underneath was carefully printed: A SANDPIPER TO BRING YOU JOY. Tears welled 20 in my eyes, and a heart that had almost forgotten to love opened wide. I took Wendy's mother 21 my arms. “I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry,” I muttered over and over, and we wept together. The precious little picture is framed now and hangs in my study. Six words -- one 22 each year of her life -- that speak to me of harmony, courage, undemanding love. A gift from a child 23 sea-blue eyes and hair the color sand -- who taught me the gift of love.( B )Petroleum refining is the separation of petroleum 1treating of these fractions to make them 2 petroleum products. Most petroleum products, including kerosenes, fuel oils, lubricating oils, and waxes, are fractions of petroleum 3 have been treated to remove undesirable components. Other products, for example, gasolines, aromatic solvents, and even some asphalts, are totally or partly synthetic 4 that they have compositions that are impossible to achieve by direct separation of these materials 5 crude petroleum. They result from chemical processes that change the molecular nature 6 selected portions of crude petroleum; 7 other words, they are the products of refining or they are refined products. Refining petroleum is a complex series of steps 8 which the original crude material is eventually converted into salable products with the desired qualities and, perhaps more important, in the amounts dictated 9 the market. In fact, a refinery is essentially a group of manufacturing plants that vary in number 10 the variety of products produced; refinery processes must be selected and products must be manufactured to give a balanced operation: 11 is, crude oil must be converted into products according 12 the rate of sale of each. For example, the manufacture of products from the lower boiling portion of petroleum automatically produces a certain amount of higher boiling components. If the latter cannot be sold as heavy fuel oil, they accumulate 13 refinery storage facilities are full. To prevent the occurrence of 14 a situation, the refinery must be flexible and able to change operations 15 needed. This usually means more processes --- a cracking process to change an excess of heavy fuel oil into more gasoline with coke as the residual product 16 a vacuum distillation process to separate the heavy oil into lubricating oil stocks and asphalt --- to accommodate the ever-changing demands of the market. In addition, a complete refining installation must include the following: all necessary non-processing facilities; adequate tankage 17 storing crude oil, intermediates, and finished products; a dependable source 18 electrical power, material-handling equipment; workshops and supplies for maintaining a continuous 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation; waste 19 and water-treating equipment; and product-blending facilities.( C )China. Fluency can be simply defined 1 "being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about 2 one is saying"; speaking accurately means "speaking without errors 3 grammar and vocabulary". The problem is 4 many students find that if they try to speak fast, they make more mistakes. And, 5 they slow down, there may be fewer errors but it can sound unnatural. People who tend to focus 6 accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes. This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English 7 public. As a result, their spoken English might not improve. On the other hand, there are those 8 really like to talk and are willing to trytheir language out even if they make mistakes. This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly. But, if they make a lot of mistakes, they may find it difficult to get their ideas 9 . In one word, speaking a language well needs both fluency and accuracy. When you speak English, find the mistakes you make most often. One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the "s" 10 the third person singular verb. Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching 11 the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English, try to work 12 those problems you have identified. If it's fluency, try to focus on it. If you have a problem 13 the third person singular, try to concentrate on when you make such errors. Don't spend time thinking 14 other mistakes. By choosing an area to work on, you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them. If you go to an English comer or an English club, try to change the types of activities 15 you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy. Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate 16 the language. Meanwhile, discussions are good practice for fluency, especially if you don't stop each time a mistake is made. Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same 17 speaking fluently. In fact, speaking fluently involves not only speed. It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these, speaking fast will only make 18 worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed. Take a tape recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or monologue. When you have finished, listen 19 yourself. Make it a regular practice. The more you record yourself, 2 0 more confident and natural sounding you will become.( D )Spacecraft from the United States and from Russia have been 1men have walked 2 its surface. Rock and soil samples and information of many other kinds have become available 3 recent years. Yet 4 all we know about the moon, there is even more that we don't know. Were scientists right about what the moon would be 5 ? Many were, of course, 6 many were mistaken. One said there was no lava 7 the moon. Another said that the moon material would explode 8 soon as an astronaut's boot touched it. One said 9 there would certainly be water on the moon. Many felt that there was a chance that the astronauts could bring 10 to earth some strange infection. These ideas are now known to be incorrect, and there is no doubt that we are still wrong 11 many other things, also. What is the moon made 12 ? Definitely not green cheese. It has the same chemical elements as 13 the earth and the rest of the solar system but in very different amounts --- more of some, less of others. Carbon, 14 is a very important part of living things on the earth, is 15 on the moon. ( E )Books are to mankind 1of our race, the discoveries we 2 made, the accumulated knowledge andexperience of ages; they picture 3 us the marvels and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds 4 ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out 5 and above ourselves. There is an oriental story of two men: one was a king, 6 every night dreamt he was a beggar; the other was a beggar, who every night dreamt he was a prince and lived 7 a palace. I am not sure that the king had very much the best of it. Imagination is sometimes 8 vivid than reality. But, however this may be, when we read, if we wish it, we may not only be kings and live in palaces, but, what is 9 better, we may transport ourselves to the mountains or the seashore, and visit the 10 beautiful parts of the earth, without fatigue, inconvenience or expense. Many of those who have had all 11 this world can give, have yet told us they owed 12 of their purest happiness to books. Ascham tells a touching story of his last visit 13 Lady Jane Grey. He found her sitting in an oriel window reading Plato's beautiful account of the death of Socrates. Her father and mother were hunting in the park, the hounds were in full cry and their voices came in 14 the open window. He expressed his surprise that she had not joined them. But, said she, “I wist that all their pleasure in the park is 15 a shadow t o the pleasure I find in Plato.” Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life 16 books. In a charming letter to a little girl, he says, "Thank you for your very pretty letter, I am always glad to make my little girl happy, and nothing pleases me so much as to see that she likes books, 17 when she is as old as I am, she will find they are better than all the tarts and cakes, toys and plays, and sights in the world. If any one would make me the greatest king, 18 palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, 19 condition that I should not read books, I would not be a king; I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books 20 a king who did not love reading. "( F )We talk about energy 1so on. If asked to define it, however, we'd probably respond 2 something like "Well, it's --- uh --- well, you know --- electricity." It’s true; electricity is one 3 of energy. However, energy comes 4 many forms. You cannot see or smell or taste energy, 5 it's always there, 6 one of the most fascinating things about it is its ability to change from one form to another --- like magic. This principle of change is 7 keeps everything --- and everyone --- going in this world of ours. When a fuel unites 8 oxygen, we say the fuel burns; what is really happening is that chemical energy, such as fuel and oxygen, 9 changing to heat energy. When the fuel or food we eat unites with the oxygen 10 we breathe, we then have heat energy to run our bodies. When you pop a frozen waffle 11 the toaster, electrical energy turns into heat energy. In the internal-combustion engine of a car, an electric spark explodes gasses in the cylinder; the 12 energy moves the pistons,becoming mechanical energy to move the car. In a steam engine, the chemical energy 13 fuel is changed to heat energy; the heated water, now steam, forces the pistons to move. In a steam turbine, the steam pushes against blades. In 14 cases, mechanical energy results. This changing from one 15 of energy to another can continue almost indefinitely. If, 16 instance, the steam engine or turbine is connected to a generator, the mechanical energy can become 17 energy, which can become heat energy (for the electric stove), mechanical energy (for the washer), etc. Thus, energy readily changes back and forth 18 one form to another. What starts out as one form 19 energy may be a totally different form when it reaches its final use.( G )The playing cards 1 we use today are much like those used 2years. The most interesting things are the suits and face cards. A "suit" of a playing card is not a thing to be worn. It means Hearts, Spades, Diamonds or Clubs. The figures are placed on each card 3 the number or value of the card. The face cards are the Jacks, Queens, Kings, and, 4 course, the Jokers. What do you think the suits stand 5 ? Let's take the Hearts first. When you say that an athlete has a lot of heart, what do you mean? You mean that he is brave. So, you see, the King of Hearts is a "brave king". Look 6 the design of the Spade on a card. The word "spade" comes 7 the Italian word which means “sword”. With a little imagination, you can see the handle and the blade. Of course, the blade has been made much shorter 8 the card. The diamonds and Club designs also have interesting stories. The Diamond design is one 9 you probably know already. It stands for the expensive gems that you and I have seen 10 jewelry stores. At first it stood for the rich traders 11 found and sold such gems. The Club looks a little 12 a three-leaf clover design. Its shape came from a French design with three leaves. It has the lowest rank of the suits. Now you see 13 some suits of playing cards have more value or power than others. The face cards are usually powerful 14 any card game. The King is one of the strongest. There are four different Kings, and each one stands 15 a real person. The King of Hearts first meant Charlemagne. He lived 16 800 years after the birth of Christ. He was one of the most powerful kings in Europe 17 Julius Caesar of Rome. Julius Caesar, by the way, is the King of Diamonds. We must go further back in history to find 18 the names of the two other kings. The young Alexander the Great of Macedonia is the King of Clubs and King David is the King of Spades. David is the person 19 killed the giant Goliath. When someone talks 20 a David and Goliath, he means that a smaller, or weaker, person is trying to fight a very 21 and strong enemy. David beat Goliath and became a king. He probably 22 thought that he would have a place in playing cards. The playing cards are 23 popular with people today. ( H )She was surprised and suspicious 1 I called and suggested the two of us go out 2 dinner and a movie. "What's wrong?" she asked. My mother thinks anything out 3 the ordinary signals bad news. "I thought it would be nice to spend some time 4 you," I said. "Just the two of us." “I'd 5 that a lot." she replied. Mom and I go out 6 dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take 7 a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trials 8 work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in 9 family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know 10 it was like for her to work in a factory during World War II. I know how she met my father there, and 11 they nurtured a trolley-car courtship 12 those difficult times. I can't get enough 13 these stories. They are important 14 me, a part of my history. We also talk 15 the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days 16 . "I have so much living to do," she told me once. "I need to be there 17 my grandchildren grow up. I don't want to miss any 18 it." I understood 19 she was saying. From caregiver to cared-for, from cared-for to caregiver, our relationship had come full circle. "Then it's time for you to relax and let me 20 the favor," I said. ( I )Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought 1of settling their disputes other than 2 seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side 3 has killed most has won. And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been 4 the right. For that is 5 going to war means; it means saying that might is right. That is what the story of mankind has 6 the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions 7 people were killed or mutilated. And 8 today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets, 9 is to say, while we have got to the 10 of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life, 11 some nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave 12 savages. But we must not expect 13 much. After 14 , the race of men has only just started. From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed, babies, in fact, 15 a few months old. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the 16 of jellyfish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years 17 the outside. These figures are difficult to grasp; so let us scale them 18 . Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth 19 one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilization for between seven or eight hours. So you see there has been little time to learn 20 . But there will be oceans of time in which to learn better. Taking man’s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, 21 about 100,000 years. Thus mankind is only at thebeginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. Generally speaking, the past 22 man has been a beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and hurting. We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is 23 they will sometime have done something else. It’s high time now for mankind to say good-bye to war and fighting, because war and fighting are the games of beasts, not 24 civilized peoples should do.( J )1industrialized, metropolitan Atlantic seaboard 2 the rich flat farms of the central plains, 3 the Rocky Mountains to the fertile west coast, then halfway across the Pacific 4 the balmy island-state of Hawaii. The American scene awes the viewer 5 both its variety and size. The continental United States (not counting outlying Alaska and Hawaii) measures, 4,500 kilometers from its Atlantic to Pacific coasts, 2,575 kilometers from Canada to Mexico. The entire nation of all 50 states covers an area 6 9 million square kilometers and has a population of 220 million people. America has long been known 7 a "melting pot," for it is a nation of immigrants from all over the world. The first to arrive --- from Siberia, more than 10,000 years 8 , it is believed that --- were the American Indians. Today they number nearly 850,000; half live on land set aside 9 them in 31 states; the rest have "melted" 10 with the rest of America's nearly 220 million population. Europe, the major source of immigration, began sending colonists to America in the early 17th century. Tens of millions flooded to America's shores from Europe between 1880 11 the First World War. The next largest group of Americans trace their ancestry to Africa, black people now constitute 12 11 percent of the population. The melting pot has also absorbed nearly 600,000 Japanese, half a million Chinese and 340,000 Filipinos. Many live in Hawaii, more than two-thirds of whose people boast 13 Asian or Polynesian heritage. Once a nation of farmers, the United States has become increasingly urban 14 the turn of the last century. Today three 15 of four Americans live in towns, cities 16 suburbs. Two-thirds of 17 families live in separate households, and 65 percent own their homes. Americans are always 18 the move. Each year, one 19 every five Americans leaves home and job to find new ones somewhere else. The population is shifting ever westward. California recently passed New York 20 the most populous state, although New York City (population: 8 million) and Chicago (3 million) are still larger 21 California's largest city, Los Angeles. The nation's capital, Washington D.C., is ninth in size, with a population of over 700,000.

In many ways, this is 1 for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same 2 night after night. One would 3 them to know their parts by heart and 4 have cause to falter(结巴). Yet5 is not always the case.A famous actor in a 6 successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat 7 had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler(监狱长，看守) would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. 8 the noble was expected to read the letter at each 9 , he always insisted that it should be written out in full.One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke 10 his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the 11 of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed (使显露) the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler 12 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the 13 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 14 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 15 to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting (眯着眼看) his eyes, he said, “The light is 16 . Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 17 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied, “The light is indeed dim, sir. I must get my 18 .” With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s 19 , the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the 20 copy of the letter which he proceeded (继续进行)to read to the prisoner.1．A．fortunate B．unfortunate C．happy D．unhappy 2．A．lines B．words C．plays D．roles3．A．want B．ask C．expect D．wish 4．A．always B．never C．sometimes D．often5．A．such B．the thing C．one D．this 6．A．highly B．high C．poorly D．poor 7．A．where B．what C．which D．who 8．A．Because B．Even though C．When D．Though 9．A．play B．performance C．role D．case10．A．with B．in C．on D．to 11．A．pages B．joke C．lines D．contents 12．A．appeared B．desappeared C．came out D．came in 13．A．room B．cell C．stage D．office 14．A．English B．French C．order D．full 15．A．worried B．surprised C．anxious D．afraid 16．A．bright B．dim C．dark D．out17．A．To see B．To find C．Seeing D．Finding 18．A．glasses B．lines C．light D．letters 19．A．surprise B．satisfaction C．anger D．amusement 20．A．usual B．old C．unusual D．newThe annual marathon in my town usually occurred during a heat wave. My job was to 1 behind the runners in an ambulance 2 any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes 3 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.“We’re supposed to stay behind the 4 runner, so take it slowly,”I said to the driver, Doug, as we began to creep forward.“Let’s 5 hope all the runners are fast!”he laughed.As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to 6 . It was then that my 7 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.“Doug, look!”We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and 8 that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon.Doug and I watched in 9 as she slowly moved forward. We didn’t say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to 10 some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more.Finally, she was the 11 runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even reverence(敬意)as she 12 forward with sheer determination through the last miles.When the 13 line came into sight, trash(垃圾)lay everywhere and the 14 crowds had long gone home. 15 ，standing straight and ever so proud waited a man. He was 16 one end of a ribbon of crepe paper tied to a post. 17 slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her.I do not 18 this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life —— a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about 19 the other runners or winning a trophy(奖品), it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter 20 .
