完形填空

  Millions of people in Britain struggle out of bed each morning, fumble(亂摸)into some clothes, and __1__ their way to a cup of coffee and the morning __2__. They need something cheerful to remind them that the rest of the day will be __3__ difficult than getting up. This need may be __4__ that many of them turn their __5__ eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper as they sip(呷)their first cups of coffee of the day.

  Cartoons reflect(反映)the times and the troubles and __6__ of people. They give people an opportunity(機(jī)會)to laugh at __7__ and at familiar(常見的)situations. In times of prosperity(繁榮), for example, cartoons show people __8__ the good economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)上的)situation. They also make fun of the __9__ that people make for themselves--like making a problem out __10__ type of car to buy. In hard times--times of economic troubles--people want someone or __11__ to blame(責(zé)備)their troubles on. Cartoons provide scapegoats(替身). They also help people to see the humor in a __12__ situation. For example, a cartoon might say that the government of a country is responsible for the bad economy and __13__ show the government leaders as a group of ridiculous(可笑的)people. Being able to use the leaders as scapegoats and to laugh at the leaders somehow makes people feel __14__ about their situation.

  Cartoons also make people __15__ their own personal worries. Young people who are not always sure of how to act can smile at their awkwardness(尷尬). Old people __16__ grown children pay little attention to them can chuckle(暗笑)at their neglect(疏忽)and loneliness. Students who have studied too little before an examination can laugh at their worries. __17__ problems are made bigger than life in the cartoons. Perhaps the problems __18__ funny because there is humor in something that is real being made unreal.

  A cartoon combines(結(jié)合)art and humor. When it is skillfully __19__, a simple line drawing and a few words can make people laugh. Their troubles seem less __20__ and they enjoy life more fully.

    答案:A;C;D;B;B;C;B;B;D;C;A;B;C;A;D;B;B;A;D;B
    解析:

    (1)動詞短語make one's way to表示“向……走去”。

    (2)由下文“... many of them turn their halfopened eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper...”可作出正確判斷。

    (3)由句中的從屬連詞than可以確定,其前須用形容詞的比較級。

    (4)上文敘述了“They need something cheerful to remind them...”,這正是下文中“... many of them turn their half-opened eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper...”的原因,故此空應(yīng)填the reason。

    (5)四個選項(xiàng)均為形容詞,都可以作定語修飾名詞,但短文首句表明最佳答案為B。早晨人們睡眼惺忪地去看報(bào)紙,眼睛自然是半睜著的。

    (6)該句為主題句,綜合敘述了漫畫反映了時代及人們的煩惱和憂慮。由短文第三段首句我們可以判斷出,C為最佳選項(xiàng)。

    (7)四個選項(xiàng)的人稱代詞和不定代詞都可以作介詞at的賓語,但下文“They also make fun of the problems that people make for themselves...”表明,這里指漫畫使人們嘲笑別人。

    (8)四個選項(xiàng)的現(xiàn)在分詞填入空白處都可以作show的賓語補(bǔ)足語,但由句首的時間狀語“In times of prosperity...”可以確定B為最佳選項(xiàng),這里指人們喜歡良好的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢。

    (9)由下文解釋性的介詞短語“... like making a problem...”,可以確定此空應(yīng)填problems,是其后定語從句“... that people make for themselves...”所修飾的先行詞。

    (10)此空應(yīng)填入of which。out of在該句中意為“來自”,其后的“疑問詞+不定式”起名詞性詞組的作用,在句中作介詞of的賓語。which type of car與動詞不定式to buy具有邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系。

    (11)由空白前面表示選擇的并列連詞or可以判斷出,此空應(yīng)填表示物的不定代詞,排除BC。something作“某事”“某物”解,一般用于肯定句中;anything作“任何事物”“任何東西”解,一般用于否定句、疑問句或條件句中。

    (12)四個選項(xiàng)的復(fù)合形容詞都可以作定語修飾situation,但根據(jù)下文“政府應(yīng)對糟糕的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢負(fù)責(zé),漫畫對政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人作為替罪羊嘲弄”,以及本句中“... help people to see the humor...”可以判斷出B為最佳選項(xiàng)。

    (13)該句為含有并列復(fù)合謂語的簡單句,第二個謂語動詞show與前一個謂語動詞say是同位關(guān)系,故填表示“也”的副詞also

    (14)上文敘述了在經(jīng)濟(jì)困難時期,漫畫能夠表示出政府應(yīng)為此負(fù)責(zé),并拿政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人作為替身進(jìn)行嘲弄,這無疑對廣大人民來說是莫大的精神安慰,使他們對形勢感到更舒服點(diǎn),故此空應(yīng)填比較級形容詞better,與feel構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)。

    (15)上文已經(jīng)提到“They give people an opportunity to laugh at others and at familiar situations.”以及漫畫“Being able to use the leaders as scapegoats and to laugh at the leaders...”,再根據(jù)下文“young people”,“old people”以及“students”對their own personal worries發(fā)笑的敘述,可以判斷出此空應(yīng)填laugh at。

    (16)根據(jù)句型結(jié)構(gòu),空白后的“grown children pay little attention to them”為一定語從句,先行詞為人,定語從句不能用which引導(dǎo)。其余三個選項(xiàng)均為引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)系代詞,但只有B項(xiàng)能作定語,修飾grown children。

    (17)四個選項(xiàng)均為不定代詞的所有格,都能作定語修飾名詞problems,但這些不定代詞所表達(dá)的意義不同:somebody“某人,有人”;everyone“人人,大家”;each one“每人”;anybody“任何人”。上文敘述的年輕人、老人、學(xué)生都在嘲笑自己所遇到的問題,強(qiáng)調(diào)的是整體,故答案選B。

    (18)seem作“看起來”“似乎”解,暗示判斷有一定根據(jù),這種判斷往往接近現(xiàn)實(shí),由原因狀語從句“... there is humor in something that is real being made unreal.”可以確定答案為A,這里seem為系動詞,其后跟形容詞作表語。

    (19)四個選項(xiàng)的形容詞填入空白,都可以與助動詞is構(gòu)成被動語態(tài),但只有D項(xiàng)有“制作”的意思,可由主句“... a simple line drawing and a few words can make people laugh.”作出正確判斷。

    (20)上文敘述了漫畫被制作之后,簡單的線條和寥寥數(shù)語會引起人們發(fā)笑,我們再根據(jù)空白后的并列分句“... they enjoy life more fully.”就不難判斷出人們在看漫畫時對生活的充分享受,遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了現(xiàn)實(shí)的煩惱,故最佳答案選B。

    As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are 1 with difficult jobs of hiding presents from 2 young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real 3 . On Christmas Eve, young children find the 4 almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to 5 up late so that they Mil not miss the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie 6 in bed for a long time, hoping to get a short 7 at Father Christmas.

      Last Christmas, my wife and I 8 managed to hide a few large presents in the store room I 9 the moment when my son, Jimmy, would ask me where the new bike had come from, but 10 he did not see it.

      On Christmas Eve, it took the children hours to go to deep. It must have been nearly 11 when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began 12 stockings. Then I 13 in the bike for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We know we would not get much 14 that night, for the children were sure to get up early. At about five o'clock the next morning, we were 15 by loud sounds coming from the children's room--they shouted excitedly! 16 I had time to get out of bed, Jimmy came 17 into our bedroom on his new bike and his sister, Mary, 18 close behind, pushing her new baby carriage.
