2014高考英语完形填空巩固练习精品题（22）及答案 【福建南安一中2013模拟】bthe hit movie notting hill begins with a famous scene. hugh grant bumps (撞) into julia roberts and spills (洒) orange juice all over her. after the collision, grant repeatedly says: “ i am so sorry. i am so sorry.”his actions in this scene are very british. if roberts character were from britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as welleven if the crash were not her fault. but this doesnt happen in the film, as roberts is from the us.a report in the telegraph last week said that three-quarters of british people apologize when they bump into someone in the street regardless of whether they are responsible or not. in fact, we britons use “sorry” in many situations. for example, if we mishear someone, we say “sorry?” the person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “no, i am sorry!” this can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.how we use “sorry” has changed. traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.why are britons so sorry? mark tyrell, a psychology writer in the uk, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the british class system. we say sorry because historically the new middle classes in britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation(冲突). for example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. to avoid this we instantly say “sorry!”.true manners are about being considerate and the modern day obsession with apologizing show that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. the word has lost some of its meaning. do you see my point? sorry, it might just be a british thing60. what can we infer from paragraph 2? a. in fact roberts are responsible for the collision. b. people from the us say “sorry” more than british people. c. there is no crash happening in the film. d. british people say sorry even if it is not their fault.61. which of the following might mark tyrell agree to? a. british people are sincere while saying sorry. b. now more british people say sorry because of the british class system. c. british people say sorry to avoid quarrels. d. british people apologize for not working hard.62. what does the author want to tell us with the passage? a. british people overuse “sorry” in daily life. b. british people now say “sorry” in different situations. c. middle classes in british are to blame for not being working class. d. britons say “sorry” to avoid confrontation.63. what does the underlined word “collision” in the first paragraph mean? a. quarrel b. disagreement c. crash d. fight【参考答案】6063、dbac 第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 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。a(2012河北普通高中教学质检)in an ideal world，people would not test medicines on animals.such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals，and expensive and timeconsuming for people.yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge.that is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.europe，on the whole，has the worlds most restrictive laws on animal experiments.even so，its scientists use some 12 million animals a year，most of them mice and rats，for medical research.official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in america each year.but that is misleading.the american authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and，as these are the most common laboratory animals，the true figure is much higher.japan and china have even less comprehensive data than america.now europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs.alternatives to animal testing，such as using human tissue or computer models，are now strongly recommended.in addition，sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.at present，scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.if their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested，the work never sees the light of day.this practice means wasting time，money，and animals lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives.it needs to continue，even if that means animals sometimes suffer.europes new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.56what is the main idea of this passage?athe success of animal experiments should be ensured.ba ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.cgreater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.dscientists should be required to share their research results with each other.57which of the following statements is true about animals used in the lab?aamerica uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.beurope does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.cbritain does not use as many lab animals as china does.djapan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.58which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?astatistical studies. bcomputer models.cdna planted in animals. dtissue from dead animals.59what usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?athey are not revealed to the public.bthey are made into teaching materials.cthey are collected for future publication.dthey are not removed from the research topic list.56c文章第一段指出用动物进行试验难以杜绝的原因，第二段提到欧洲对动物试验的法律限制的效果并不理想，第三段讲了欧洲为限制动物试验所作的努力，最后一段提到欧洲的新措施应该既要减少用于试验的动物的数量，又要改善科学研究的方法，所以c项最能概括文章大意。57d第二段的最后一句提到日本和中国与美国的数据相比甚至更不全面，由此可推知日本对每年用于实验室动物的数据记录有限。58b根据第三段第二句中的内容可知可用“人体组织”和“电脑模型”来取代动物试验。59a根据第三段中的倒数第二、三句可知，科学家们只分享成功的试验，如果结果与假设不符，所做的工作将永不公开。由此可推断不成功的试验不会展示给公众。【福建南安一中2013模拟】cback

(2012皖南八校第一次联考)nuclear weapons were first developed in the united states during the second world war to be used against germany.however，by the time the first bombs were ready for use，the war with germany had ended and，as a result，the decision was made to use the weapons against japan instead.hiroshima_and_nagasaki_have_suffered_the_consequences_of_the_decision_to_the_present_day.the real reasons why bombs were dropped on two heavily populated cities are not altogether clear.a number of people in 1944 and early 1945 argued that the use of nuclear weapons would be unnecessary，since american intelligence was aware that some of the most powerful and influential people in japan had already realised that the war was lost，and wanted to discuss a japanese surrender(投降)it was also argued that，since japan has few natural resources，a blockade(封锁) by the american navy would force it to surrender within a few weeks，and the use of nuclear weapons would prove unnecessary.if a demonstration of force was required to end the war，a bomb could be dropped over an unpopulated area like a desert，in front of japanese observers，or over an area of low population inside japan，such as a forest.choosing this course of action might decrease the loss of further lives on all sides，while the power of nuclear weapons would still be adequately demonstrated.all of these arguments were turned down，however，and the general agreement was that the quickest way to end the fighting would be to use nuclear weapons against the centres of population inside japan.in fact，two of the more likely reasons why the decision was reached seem quite shocking to us now.64the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 is that _.athe two cities were badly damaged after they were bombedbthe two cities suffered because japan would not agree to end the warcthe terrible effects of dropping nuclear weapons on these cities can still be feltdthe end of the war with germany meant hiroshima and nagasaki would suffer65according to paragraph 2，a blockade would have been successful because _.ajapan had to import most of its natural resourcesbit can weaken japans military forcecit would probably destroy japans resources within a few weeksdthe americans could defeat japans navy since it was short of resources66what would probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?athe reasons why japan chose to surrender.bthe writers attitude towards japans surrender.cpeoples different opinions about dropping nuclear weapons onto the cities.danother two probable reasons for dropping nuclear weapons onto the cities.64c画线句子说，直到今天，广岛与长崎仍然在承受着这一决定带来的后果，也就是说，这两个城市的人们依然能感受到二战中美国投放的原子弹带来的后患，因此选c项。65a第二段说，也有人认为日本的自然资源稀少，美国海军只要进行封锁，日本不出几周就得投降。由此推断，日本的大多数自然资源都依靠进口。66d本文主要探讨了美国在二战末向日本投放原子弹的原因，最后一句说，还有两个更可能的原因，由此判断，后文将探讨这两个可能的原因。*结束 (2012山东潍坊、东营、淄博、滨州四市联考)“confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(特点) in americans.they show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk.living and competing with all these confident american students，i find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor.as a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.dont mind if it sounds simple or silly.otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.whats worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have you
