南宁市2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解训练题（5）及答案 googlefight is a simple service available on the internet which offers you the chance to compare two different items and see how many hits they get on the google search engine. the seemingly simple device has proved invaluable to users, especially to help win arguments. for example, imagine that you and your friends are arguing about who are the most popular music or movie stars, you can decide the argument by writing the names in the googlefight boxes. lets say that you are arguing about jackie chan and jet li. you will quickly discover that jet li is mentioned 16 million times on google pages, whereas jackie chan is mentioned a mere 12 million times! in this unscientific way, you can claim victory for one star over another.but teachers have come up with ways of using googlefight which are much more useful from an academic point of view, particularly when it comes to studying languages. you can, for example, find out the frequency of two words with the same meaning, and deduce (推断) from the answers which one is more common. for example, lets take the words “buy” and “purchase”, which mean the same thing (although “buy” is only a verb and “purchase” is both a verb and a noun). it is immediately clear from googlefight that “buy” is much more commonly used, with a massive three and a half billion hits, compared to only one billion occurrences for the more formal word.but the real value of googlefight to the language learner is in determining which is the more common of two phrases. for example, “raining cats and dogs” is an old-fashioned english expression about the weather. do english speakers still use it? or are they more likely to say “pouring down”? googlefight suggests the latter. “pouring down” has 898,000 google hits, whereas “raining cats and dogs” only has 326,000.with phrases, its important to remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate. for example, if you type in the similar phrases “look after” and “take care of “ without quote marks, the second phrase seems to be more common, but with quote marks, the result is reversed.49. what is googlefight?a. a fight between two people on google.b. a way to make sure you win an argument.c. a website showing how many hits two different things have.d. a list of all the websites on google.50. language teachers find it useful because _.a. there are a lot of words on googlefightb. it can tell them which of the two words with the same meaning appears more oftenc. some words mean the same thingd. common words have a billion hits51. what must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by googlefight?a. make sure they mean be same thing.b. make sure they are different.c. remember to put quote marks round the phrase.d. dont put quote marks round the phrase.52. which statement is not true according to the passage?a. googlefight is effective to determine the more common of two phrases.b. googlefight is a scientific way to decide an argument.c. quote marks can make the search more accurate.d. googlefight is invaluable to help win arguments.阅读下面短文,掌握其大意，然后从2140各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中,选出最佳选项并将答案填在答题卡上。my father woke me up early one summer morning announcing, “get up. youre going with me to cut grass.” the idea 1 my father actually thought i was big enough to help him in his 2 made me feel proud and 3 . from sunup to sundown my father, my younger brother and i 4 in the large yards in a rich part of atlanta, georgia. by the end of the day i was tired out, but felt good. i had 5 a hard days labour and had earned $6.one day my father found some leaves id 6 and pulled me aside. “clear away these leaves,” he said 7 , “and dont make me have to tell you to do it again.” the 8 was clear. today i value the importance of doing a job 9 the first time. it will never 10 to impress the person you are working for.after two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were 11 enough to do lawns(草坪) on our own. every saturday , we 12 out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while working 13 our father.taking care of lawns was not exciting 14 high-paying, but that didnt matter. it taught me that any job is a good job and that 15 i was paid was more than i had before.a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone 16 possible live on a forty-hour- a week minimum(最低的) pay. “my father never worked just forty hours a 17 , and neither have i.” i replied. “if youre only working forty hours, you probably dont want to do 18 better than youre doing.”in every job ive 19 -from doing lawns to washing dishes-i have learned something that helped me in my next job. if you 20 hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.1. a. whatb. thatc. whichd. why2. a. farmb. familyc. businessd. company 3. a. excitedb. tiredc. troubledd. unpleasant4. a. playedb. excisedc. workedd. struggled5.a. put outb. put downc. put awayd. put in 6. a. collectedb. cleanedc. missedd. noticed7. a. finallyb. usuallyc. unexpectedlyd. firmly8. a. newsb. messagec. informationd. word9. a. rightb. quicklyc. fastd. wrong10. a. happenb. seemc. faild. begin11. a. strongb. oldc. cleverd. skilled12. a. workedb. setc. turnedd. figured 113. a. beyondb. withoutc. underd. like14. a. andb. and yetc. butd. or15. a. no matter howb. whateverc. no matter whatd. however16. a. mustb. shouldc. mayd. could17. a. dayb. yearc. weekd. month18. a. someb. anyc. littled. very19. a. foundb. lostc. heldd. helped20. a. seeb. workc. tryd. enjoy参考答案1 5 bcacd 610 cdbac 1115 bbcdb 1620 dcbcb*结束 when i came out of my office, it was dark. in order to get home as soon as possible, i hired a taxi. the car was 1 along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. i broke the 2 on purpose, 3 that the driver might be too tired to drive. “when do you go back home in the evening?” “9 oclock. ill go after this trip.” “then when do you come out in the morning?” i 4 another question. “9 oclock, too. and i go home for lunch and dinner, just as if i worked at an office.” his easiness surprised me, because every time i ride in a taxi, what i hear from the 5 are only complaints (抱怨). they complain that they 6 work 7 , that it is 8 to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated 9 and enjoy the 10 of others work. it seems that they have a grievance (不满意) against everything. but this driver told me, “i find it 11 to be a section chief as i was before. i dont like management work. i like driving, just for 12 . its 13 that i 14 drive without a passenger. so i can earn two or three thousand yuan a month with ease. any 15 ?
