Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s been so long that I can’t remember the crime, but I’ll never forget the punishment: Dig up the fig tree (无花果) in the backyard and plant it at Mumsy’s place in the country. As I often did when appointed to do a hard job in the garden, I this was my parents’ way of getting me to do the ir dirty work.It was a Sunday morning. With some tools, I went at the tree, dismantling (拆卸) it branch by branch and limb by limb, until all that remained of the once-proud specimen was a sorry-looking stump of a thing.“What did that ever do to y ou?”, my father said, “You left some taproot (主根), at least. Go and load up the truck.” On any other day before, during the to mumsy’s, we would have pleasantly school as usual, but I fenced myself off that time.Then, at Mumsy’s, instead of sit ting back to watch me work, he me. As my father and I took turns to work, I could feel my anger , making room for the simple satisfaction of working at my father’s side towards a common goal.“ Well,” my father said when we finished, “ we’ve done what we can do.” “Do you think there’s any that it can grow up?” I asked. “It’s rich dirt. They say you can plant toenails in it and grow little kids.” My father answered.I never tried the toenail trick, but I did watch as it settled in, took root, and began to prosper. I was amazed and when bowls of figs began to fill the fridge.In a fair world, I don’t deserve the reward. I had hurt the tree for my own complaints. What right did I have to the fruit? Years later, I putthis to my father. Watching him slide a bowl of figs from the fridge one morning, I felt a sudden stab of shame for my boyhood . My father took a figfrom the bowl and let me think of the fruit as forgiveness. “You,” he said, “ some of that.”【小题1】A．Convinced B．informed C．suspected D．inspected【小题2】A．truck B．tool C．tree D．taproot【小题3】A．rest B．flight C．walk D．ride【小题4】A．thought over B．talked about C．broke into D．gave up【小题5】A．Forgave B．tricked C．entertained D．joined【小题6】A．Disappeared B．Concentrated C．approached D．exposed【小题7】A．Relationship B．value C．advantage D．chance【小题8】A．confused B．relieved C．regretful D．disappointed【小题9】A．perfectly B．partly C．mostly D．probably【小题10】A．task B．answer C．question D．strategy【小题11】A．Misery B．misfortune C．sorrow D．rudeness【小题12】A．Deserve B．receive C．protect D．suspect2016高考英语完型填空We often see hitchhikers（搭便车的人）, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting nowadays. Whatkilled hitchhiking? is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester reflects the safetyfear: , strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are . Plenty of people hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?Three-quarters of the UK population have a car; many of the will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and acouple in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes(家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help.The future of hitchhiking most lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people—will stop.In the UK, with its cheap and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have anothergo, Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tankcommander’s mobile number.【小题1】A．valuable B．hardly C．rare D．little【小题2】A．Fear B．Safety C．Allowance D．Expense【小题3】A．has put B．had been put C．has been put D．have put【小题4】A．What B．Which C．Whether D．That【小题5】A．no more B．no need C．no reason D．no doubt【小题6】A．a short B．a clumsy C．a small D．a large【小题7】A．most B．more C．very D．much【小题8】A．poor B．heavy C．busy D．convenient【小题9】A．seldom B．always C．still D．never【小题10】A．afford B．offer C．affect D．offend【小题11】A．effect to B．effect on C．access in D．access to【小题12】A．remain B．rest C．pedestrians D．citizens【小题13】A．While B．When C．Yet D．Though【小题14】A．living up B．lived down C．was living up D．was living down 【小题15】A．stopping B．but stop C．stop D．stopped【小题16】A．likely B．certainly C．positively D．actively【小题17】A．pretending B．preparing C．preferring D．defending【小题18】A．vehicles B．coaches C．cars D．helicopters【小题19】A．across B．through C．for D．over【小题20】A．as B．though C．because D．when2016高考完形填空选练完型填空。

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts(才能)of a good actor. You must be able to 1 the attention and 2 of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your 3 ;and you must be able to act 4 you are teaching, in order to make its 5 clear.Watch a good teacher, 6 you will see that he doesn’t sit still before his class: he stands the whole 7 he is teaching; he walks about, 8 his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations. Listen to him, then you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his 9 always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact 10 a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 11 that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage(舞台),for there are very important 12 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has 13 by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays small part, even his 14 is usually fixed beforehand(事先).What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 15 on the stage.A teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play. They ask and answer questions, they 16 orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher 17 has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot remember his part, but must 18 it as he goes along.Teachers are fine actors in class but unable to take part in 19 because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline: they could not keep 20 to what another had written.( ) 1.
