2021髙考英语回扣作文与完形填空（21）及答案髙考英语:］英语写作引导句型（5）1Inrecentyearstherehasbeenanincreasingawarenessofthenecessarytoimproveourcriminaljusticesystem.Ayoungthiefwhospendstimeinjailoftenreceivesthereathorougheducationincrimefromhisfellowprisoners,orperhapstoughcriminalswhodraghimintomoreseriousoffensesandmoreprisontermsaviciouscyclethatwilldogreaterharmtothesociety.近几年来人们越来越意识到改进我们刑法制度的必要性。ー个初犯的小偷被关在监狱里,往往会从其他囚犯,甚至犯罪老手那里学到一整套作案的手法,结果他们把他拉人更深的犯罪深渊,以至判更长的徒刑,如此恶性循环将对社会造成更大的危害。2Nowpeoplebecomeincreasinglyawareoftheimportanceofacquiringamasteryofaforeignlanguage.Tothem,theknowledgeofaforeignlanguage,say,English,oftenmeansagoodopportunityforone'scareer,evenapassporttoaprosperousfuture.Manyofthemequatesuccessinlifewiththeabi1ityofspeakingaforeignlanguage.现在许多人日益意识到掌握ー门外语的重要性,对他们来说,外语知识,如英语往往意味着给他的职业带来好的机会,甚至给他带来光辉灿烂的前途。许多人把人生的成功与能讲外语相提并论。31wemightmarvelatInspiteof/Despitethegreatgiantextraordinarytremendousprogressstrideadvancemadein31scienceandtechnologynearlyeveryfield,(but)...remainbasicallyunchanged.thesameasitwas.as...asevertheywere.1Wemightmarvelattheprogressmadeineveryfieldofstudy,butthemethodsoftestingaperson'sknowledgeandabilityremainasprimitiveasevertheywere.Itisextraordinarythatafteralltheseyears,educationistshavestillfailedtodeviseanythingmereefficientandreliablethanexaminations.Forallthepiousclaimthatexaminationstestwhatyouknow,itiscommonknowledgethattheymereoftendotheexactopposite.Theymaybeagoodjneansoftestingmemory,buttheycantellyounothingaboutaperson'strueabilityandaptitude.对各个学科所取得的进步我们或许会感到吃惊,但是测试人们知识和能力的方法仍像过去ー样原始。经过这么多年,教育家们仍未能设计出比考试更可靠,更行之有效的方法,这真使人为之惊讶。尽管教育家们虔诚地宣称，考试能测验你懂得多少知识。但众所周知,它们通常是适得其反。用来测试记忆カ,考试也许是种好方法，但它不能测出ー个人的真正能力。2Thisisaskepticalage,rbutalthoughourfaithinmanyofthethingsinwhichourforefathersdeeplybelievedhasweakened,ourconfidenceinthecurativepropertiesofthebottleofmedicineremainsthesameastheirs.Thismodernfaithinmedicineisprovedbythefactthattheannualdrugbillofthiscountryismountingtoastronomicalfiguresandshowsnosignsatpresentofceasingtorise.这是ー个怀疑一切的时代。但是尽管我们已不大相信我们的祖先们所深信不疑的许多事物,我们对装在瓶中的药物却仍与我们的祖先一样确信无疑。现代人对药物的迷信可由这一事实得到证实:即这个国家每年的药费已到了天文数字,且目前尚无停止增长之迹象。3Althoughgreatstrideshavebeenmadeinachievingsocialstatusandgreaterequalityforwomeninthepastdecades,theirroleinthefamilyremainsbasicallyuncharged.Thedoubleburdenofworkinsideandoutsidethehometheyarecarryingrendersthemimpossibletomakeful1useoftheirtalentsanddifficulttorisetopositionsofleadership.虽然在过去几十年里妇女在争取社会地位和更多的平等方面取得了很大的进步,但是她们在家里的角色仍没有得到多大的变化。她们在家里和外面都要干，这双重工作负担使她们不能充分发挥自己的才能，因之很难升到领导岗位。4Wecontinuetosharewithourremotestancestorsthemostevasiveattitudesaboutdeath,despitethegreatdistancewehavecaneinunderstandingsomeoftheprofoundaspectsofbiology.Wehaveasmuchdistastefortalkingaboutpersonaldeathasforthinkingaboutit;itisanindelicacy,liketalkinginmixedcompanyaboutvenerealdiseaseorabortionintheolddays.尽管我们对生物某些方面的奥秘已有很多了解,但我们还是和祖先ー样,对死是讳莫如深的。我们对自己的死不仅不敢想,而且不敢去谈论。这是ー个不适宜的话题,就像过去在男女ー起时谈论性病和流产ー样不易启口。第二节完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5,满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（2012•长春第l次调研）Mysister,Cathy,wholivesinVancouver,sentmeapackagefullofChristmasgifts.Shetoldmethatshehad36itinadvancetomakesureitwouldarriveatmyhouseweeksbeforethe37.Christmaswasdrawingnear,butnopackagearrived.Cathycheckedthetrackingnumberevery38withCanadaPost,andeveryeveningshewouldcallmeto39iftherewasanysignofitonourend.The40alwaysstartedwithquestionsaboutthepackage,buttwentyminuteslaterwewouldstillbe41.Wetalkedaboutourfamily,suchasparents,ourkidsand42.Ofcoursewealsotalkedaboutourjobs.Wehadnevermadesomuch43foreachother!Thetalkalwaystookusbackt。thehourswespenttogetherinourchildhood.ByChristmasEvewefinallyhadto44thefactthatthepackagewas45lost.OnChristmasmorning,Cathygotonthephonewitheveryoneinmy46andtoldthemwhatshehadsent.Lateron,afterabigfamilyChristmasdinner,Ihadforgottenallaboutthe47packagewhentherewasaknockonthedoor.Whocoulditbeatsuchatime?AsI48thedoor,amanwasstandingthere.“I49thisisyours,“hesaid,holdingapackage.JustthenI50thatithadbeendeliveredtothewrongaddress,"Ijustgothomefromvacation,“heexplained,"51IwantedyoutohavethisintimetoopenforChristmas."'Ithankedthis52__strangerfortakingsomuchtroubleto53thisgifttousonChristmasDay,and54thankedGodthatthepackagehadbeenlostinthefirstplace.Therealgiftofthatholidayseasonwasthenewr55tomysisterwholivesfarawayfromus.ltseemedthatmysisterwasjustbymysidenow.A.bookedB.decoratedC.mailedD.listedA.appointmentB.holidayC.deadlineD.partyA.yearB.monthC.weekD.morningA.findoutB.takeoutC.figureoutD.pickoutA.complaintB.discussionC.conversationD.quarrelA.kiddingB.arguingC.chattingD.scoldingA.giftsB.husbandsC.secretsD.clothingA.foodB.moneyC.achievementD.timeA.acceptB.ignoreC.considerD.studyA.nearlyB.suddenlyC.mostlyD.simplyA.restaurantB.houseC.officeD.classA.terribleB.missingC.bigD.outstandingA.openedB.lockedC.leftD.watchedA.understandB.forgetC.knowD.believeA.expectedB.dreamedC.realizedD.rememberedA.becauseB.butC.orD.soA.generousrB.honestC.politeD.kindA.showB.presentC.returnD.offerA.silentlyBr.carefullyC.gentlyD.actuallyA.distanceB.guideC.recognitionD.closenessC从上文提到的“sentmeapackage”可知,姐姐给作者邮寄了(mailed)ー个包裹,故选C项。B根据下文中的"Christmaswasdrawingnear”可知,礼物应在圣诞节假期之前到来,故用holiday〇D根据该空后的“andeveryevening”可知,姐姐每天早晨(morning)都要查一下包裹的跟踪号。A根据句中的therewasanysignofit,,可知,姐姐每晚都给作者打电话，了解(findout)是否收到礼物了。takeout“取出”，figureout“弄明白”，pickout“精心挑选”,都不符合语境。C根据下文“Wetalkedaboutourfamily,,可知,作者和姐姐之间的谈话(conversation)总是从询问包裹开始。C根据下文“Wetalkedabout...”和“Ofcoursewealsotalkedaboutourjobs.”可知,二十分钟后作者和姐姐仍然在闲谈(chatting)。B根据上文“Wetalkedaboutourfamily”可知她们谈论自己的家人,而选项中只有husbands属于家庭成员,由此可得出答案为B项。D作者和姐姐以前从来没有花那么多时间(time)交流。A到了圣诞节前タ她们不得不接受(accept)这个事实。ignore "忽视"，consider“考虑"，study“研究”,都不符合语境。D时间过去这么久了,还没收到包裹,因此作者认为那包裹根本就是丢了。simply表示“简直,根本”,符合语境。B姐姐和作者家(house)里的每个成员都逐一通电话，所以选B项。
