河南杞县2016高考英语完形填空新练（1）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。 computer games have been criticised for quite some time over a whole range of issues. some people say they are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for their eyes. some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. now, however, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist(女权主义者) issue. game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase the number of female game players. the vast majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. perhaps this is because the violent nature of many of the games appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. manufacturers attempts to produce more female characters increase their share of the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many womens groups. while heroines(女英雄) such as lara croft of the tomb raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the characters unrealistic barbies are subconsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of young women. perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now include female characters, their role is often secondary and they support the main, male, action characters within the games. of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers. there are now, however, a number of web sites springing up on the world wide web to help women deal with this issue. sites such as game girlz, women gamers and game gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even employment opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. the games are reviewed by women from a very female perspective. some rate the games from one to ten across a range of criteria which include the appearance of the female characters, the degree of intelligence attributed to them in the game and even the marketing attitude adopted by the company. the sites are obviously looking for games that move away from the very male dominated and violent nature of the majority of computer games. many of them review games that are more constructive and developmental. although the common fantasy themes of knights(骑士), witches and goblins（妖精） still exist within these games, the aims are often very different. instead of destroying opposing armies，the aim of the game can be to make peace with them. with this increased degree of awareness and involvement from women in the games industry many positive changes could be made that could encourage more women and young girls to become enthusiastic about technology. perhaps we may even find more male gamers moving away from the traditional violent and destructive games towards the more positive values promoted by these more feminine role models, after all tomb raider is still one of the most popular computer games on the market, but perhaps thats too much to ask.41. what is paragraph 1 mainly about ? a. the violence in computer games. b. common criticisms of computer games. c. childrens feeling in computer games. d. the computer issues.42.

games, 讲述了制造商们想通过设计等途径来鼓励女性购买电脑游戏，也讲述了女性在电脑游戏中的影响等等。故选a。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。(the most important of all human qualities is a sense of humor)biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. in a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. and it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. in a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. and laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. this can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of charlie chaplins early films. the little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. as that great commentator on human affairs, dr. samuel johnson, once remarked, men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way. a sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. it is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. if we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. we are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lop sided view of things. this is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. in such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. they take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. they enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. we laugh when a great satirist like swift writes about war in gullivers travels. the lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they cant agree which end to break an egg. we laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish. the sense of humor must be singled out as mans most important quality because it is associated with laughter. and laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. courage, determination, initiative these are qualities we share with other forms of life. but the sense of humor is uniquely human. if happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.1.the most important of all human qualities is a a sense

meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too.【结构简析】mean to do是打算或注定要，一般用于被动。【参考译文】我们笑是因为想笑，可是我们也想哭。是指小人国和邻国仅仅为打鸡蛋一类小事而打仗可笑，确实也是可悲。作者结合现实指出是人类悲剧之所在。写作方法与文章大意 文章以部部深入，一般到具体的写作手法论及笑是人类特有的功能。 形式多种、效果一样。天下人有各种观点、制度、人际关系，对滑稽的东西都会报之以笑一种一致的力量。 笑基于幽默感，有了它，人们会乐观、愉快、轻松，不偏不倚地对待一切，悲剧中寓以喜剧，幽默感又是人类开启幸福之门的钥匙。 论及的同时作者佐以例子，卓别林的早期电影，格列佛游记中的小人国战争等。答案详解1. a 幽默感。文章一开始就提出人类有别于动物是人有笑的功能，世界纷争繁杂、人际关系因意识观点差异而对峙，国家制度不一，但人们都能笑。笑基于人类最复杂而又微妙的品质幽默感。反过来说没有幽默感的人恐怕难以笑。第二段正式指出：幽默感表现形式多种多样，而笑可由微笑到狂笑种种，但其效果相同，幽默感有助于我们保持正确的价值观。这是政治狂热者所缺乏的特征。如果我们能看见滑稽可笑的一面，我们就不会犯过于看重自己的错误。我们总会记得悲剧离喜剧不愿，因此，我们不会有偏重某一测的观点。第四段画龙点睛的指出幽默是人类最重要的特征，因为它和笑声结合在一起。而笑又是和幸福联系在一起。勇气、决心、创造力特征，我们和其他生命形式共享，而幽默感是人类所独有的。如果幸福是我们生活的伟大目标，那幽默感就是开启幸福的钥匙。b.讽刺感。这是第三段讲的内容，讽刺的功能，但不是人类最重要的特征。c.笑感。d.历史观点。2. c 作者提卓别林的电影的目的是证明某些喜剧模式对全世界都有吸引力。a.它可以取悦任何人。b.人类和动物不同。d.证明人有同样笑的功能。3. b使各种事情重新相等和均衡。第三段着重讲了这一点。人类在痛苦中挣扎，常处于战争的边缘。政治实现令人绝望，在这种处境中，对某些政治事物的讽刺挖苦和漫画可以使各种心理重新平衡，可使失去均衡感的政客地下高傲头颅；可使我看见许多深邃的事情荒谬可笑。a.表现行为的荒唐。c.使政治家气馁。d.表现世界上太多的令人沮丧之事。4. a它可以以讽刺的手法解释政治时间的真相。b.这可促使人民暴动。c.它表示了悲剧和喜剧相联系。d.它能使人哭。5. a小说家。b.诗人。c.戏剧家。d.散文家。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考二模】 the silver city council recognizes that citizens have certain needs. to
