2014高考英语短文填单词抓分练习（25）及答案 阅读短文填空some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. to what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?in this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. while people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned. modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. they say that it is a jungle out there. to survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. in a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. we are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. it is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences. in spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. in ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. but we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts. are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? there is no fixed answer either. some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. but i personally think that people should not be too selfish. caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship. in conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. however, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others. are modern people becoming more selfish?main comparisonscontexts_1_ are changingin the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first _2_.nowadays, people seem to be more _3_about themselves._4_are changing too.people in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦让的).people may strive to achieve their own _5_ at the price of their coworkers.the authors understanding_6_ for the changes in authors eyesfierce _7_ and great _8_on modern people may be responsible for the changes.the authors _9_towards topica relationship which can _10_ two sides should be established.话题 现代人更加自私贪婪入选理由 话题不生僻，与生活贴近参考答1. values 2.place 3.concerned 4.behaviours 5.goals 6. reasons 7. competition 8.pressure 9. attitudes 10.benefit 1 第二段第一行2 第二段第二行prioritize 优先考虑3 第二段最后一行 selfconcerned4 第三段第一行5 实现目标，固定搭配6 原因7 第三段第一行8 最后一段第一行9 attitudes towards 朝。的5态度10 最后一段最后一行 第一节：短文填词（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）in grade eight i took physics. in one test i get76 only 36 percent of the answers c i failed the77 next one, too. i started to think that maybe i not78 good at it. however , i was l .enough to79 have a teacher did not take my bad grades as a80 (判断 ) of my abilities, but simply as an indication81 why i should study harder. he pulled me aside and t 82 me that he knew i could do better, he p me to retake83 the test, and i pulled my grade to an a. this is 84 i discovered: that some (科目)are difficult to85 learn does not m you are not good at them.【答案】 76.correct 77.was 78.lucky/fortunate 79.who 80.judgement 81.told 82.persuaded/permitted 83.what 84.subjects 85.mean（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。注意：每空1个单词。should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? in medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs; the need to protect patients from brutal news, to uphold a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.what should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? is it best to tell him the truth? if he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?doctors face such choices often. at times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroys their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide.but other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. we are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness; help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.there is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception. yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “what you dont know cant hurt you.”title: 1 or notdifferent 2 most doctors are in 3 of lying for the patients own sake.a great majority of patients 4 on being told the truth.reasons for 5 lying to patientsinforming patients of the truth about their condition destroys their hope, 6 to recovering more slowly, or deteriorating faster, perhaps even 7 themselves.reasons 8 lying to patientsthe truthful information helps patients to 9 their illness, help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.most patients feel 10 when they learn that they have been misled.【参考答案】 1. lie 2. attitudes/ opinions/ viewpoints 3. favour 4. insist 5. supporting 6. leading 7. killing 8. against 9. handle/ approach 10. cheated短文填词（共10题小题，每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据以下要求：1）汉语提示；2）首字母提示；3）语境提示, 在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，所填单词要求意义准确.拼写正确。nowadays a lot of schools keep their students in school all day long.students have different o about it. 1. some of the students think they enjoy l freedom and have few 2. chances to get in touch with society. they are not able to fully (培养) 3. their interests and （爱好）. therefore, they have least interest in their study 4. some others think school is the best place to get knowledge, they 5. should put their heart into their lessons. some students (缺少) the ability to 6. control themselves. once of school, they may lose control of themselves 7. and do something that will a their studies. 8. p , there is no doubt that we should keep students at school. 9. but i think of necessity that schools should organize various activities 10. so that students can enjoy their school life. 【参考答案】 1. opinions 2. little 3. develop 4. hobbies 5. so6.lack 7. out 8. affect 9. personally 10.it阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卷标号为1-5的相应位置上。the hostess was to have a party and entertain guests at home. she busied herself so early in the morning, cleaning the house. she was so tired 1 she felt pain in her waist and on the back. drops of sweat fell from her forehead. she did not finish cleaning the house 2 dusk. 3 (look) at the clean and tidy drawing room, she released a sigh with a smile on her face. the guests were coming! entering the drawing room, they 4 (attract) by the fresh flowers. surprisingly pleased, they cheered in praise, oh, what beautiful flowers!how colorful and fragrant!just a look at it, and life is full of pleasure!then they went on to express their thanks 5 the hostess for her 6 (delicate) arranged flowers.with an embarrassed smile, the hostess said, i am glad you like it. thank you for your praise. i was 7 bit surprised about it. i 8 make detailed arrangement for your honor. i was busy the whole day cleaning and mopping. as to the flowers in the vase, it is a piece of cake. i did it by just lifting my hand. now you are 9 (aware) of my hard work and praise 10 highly for my easiest effort. it is beyond my expectation. 【参考答案】1.that 2.until/till 3.looking 4.were attracted 5.to 6.delicately 7.a 8.did 9.unaware 10.me 阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卷标号为1-5的相应
