完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he    36 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always 37  his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 38  to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 39 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 40      customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 41. Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 42    for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a  43 fake(假货). When he was   44  of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch,   45 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces  46 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 47  . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 48 . For many times of entry-exit   49  he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and  50 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if  51 reusing and carrying fake  goods, he would be 52 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep   53 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of  54 , which he would remember as the 55 of his success forever.

解析

【要点综述】 文章叙述了一个百万富翁在年轻时通过一件事深刻 地认识到 了诚信的重要性,坚守诚信这一原则,他最终获得了成功。
小题1:A 考查动词短语。set up 意为“建立;成立”;take up 意为“拿起;开 始从事”;go up 意为“上升;被兴建”;pick up 意为“恢复,拾起”。由下文starting a company 可知是Glen 归国成立了一家公司。
小题1:D 考查动词。owe?to?意为“把??归功于??”。Glen 把自己的 成功归功于那次交了“昂贵学费”的经历。
小题1:A 考查语境。根据后面的Before leaving 可知是他决定回国。decide to do sth.决定做某事, refuse 及object 都表示“拒绝”。
小题1:C 考查名词。买表要用钱,这里指放学后打工挣的积蓄和奖学金得来 的钱,不一定是英镑(pound)。所以要用savings,意为“储蓄,存款”。
小题1:B 考查形容词。根据上文Glen 要回国,当然要经过机场例行的海关检 查。所以选routine,意为:例行的;日常的,常规的。ordinary 意为“普通的”;regular 意为“有规律的”;common 意为“常见的”。
小题1:B 考查名词。根据上文的check 可知是要把手表摘下来检查的,因此用inspection,意为“检查”。
小题1:B 考查代词。这里指代的是上文提到的the tax,所以用it。而one 泛指 可数名词单数;them 及these 都是复数形式。
小题1:C 考查形容词。既然是假货(fake),应该是不值钱的,故选worthless 意 为“不值钱的”。而干扰项priceless 则表示“无价的, 极贵重的”。 useful 意 为“有用的”; valuable 意为“贵重的”。
小题1:B 考查形容词。根据下文的his “smarts”可知Glen 对自己的聪明感到自 豪,因为他以为这样就可以逃避税了,所以选proud,意为“自豪的”。 afraid 意 为“害怕的”;ashamed 意为“惭愧的”;hard 意为“努力的”。
小题1:D 考查语境。指的是指物的先行词the watch,引导一个非限制性定语从句,所以用which。
小题1:A 考查介词。“on + 名词/动名词” 为固定用法,意为“一??就”。on hearing his words“一听到他的话”。
小题1:C 考查形容词。根据“海关人员当着他的面把劳力士表砸碎”以及后 面“还没明白怎么回事,就被带到了一间办公室”可知 Glen 很吃惊,因为这是 他所没有预料到的。
小题1:A 考查副词。下文告诉我们,“The officers looked over everything carefully in the box”,并且Glen 因为这件事而上了黑名单(blacklist)可知,海关对 他的检查应该是严格的。小题1:B 考查名词。这是他把这次海关检查和以往的出入境的海关检查进行 对比,再结合第二段的第一句话所说的 Glen 在国外读书并获得学位,可知他应 该有过很多次的出入境经历,所以选experience,意为“经历”。
小题1:C 考查语境。根据该官员仔细检查及后面的according to law 可知,该 官员语气应该是严厉的,故选 warn 意为“警告”。stop 意为“阻止”; hope意为“希望”; urge 意为“力劝”。
小题1:B 考查动词短语。检查后发现的结果,就是find out,所以这里表达的 意思是:如果他再次被发现使用并携带假冒伪劣商品,将根据法律受到起诉。find out 符合warn 和according to law 的语境。
小题1:D 考查动词。既然携带假冒伪劣商品是违法的事情,那么according to law(根据法律),那一定是被起诉(charged)了。
小题1:D 考查名词。make an impression on sb.给某人留下了印象,是一个固 定短语。expression 意为“表达,表示”; idea 意为“想法”; thought 意为“想 法,思想”。 句意为:他说那次经历给他留下了深刻的印象。
小题1:A 考查名词。由语境可知,由于撒谎,他付出了高昂的代价:名表被 砸坏,还受到了严格的检查和严厉的警告,由此 Glen 体会了诚信的价值,以此 为鉴,促使他取得成功。
小题1:A 考查名词。前文告诉我们,正是由于诚实使他获得了成功,由此可 知,这就是他将永远记住的成功的秘密。lesson 意为“教训”;choice 意为“选 择”;test 意为“测试”。

I was a newcomer of Miss Burn’s seventh grade. Past“newcomer”experiences had been difficult, so I was
very anxious to fit in.
Lunchtime was a pleasant surprise when the girls all crowded around my table. Their chat was friendly, so
I began to relax. My new classmates filled me in on the school, the teachers and the other kids. it wasn’t long
before the class herd(书呆子)was pointed out to me: Mary Lou. Actually she called herself Mary Louise. A
formal, overmodest young girl with old-fashioned clothes, she wasn’t ugly—not even funny looking. Practical
shoes, long wool skirt and a blouse completed the image of a complete herd. The girls’ whispers got louder and
louder. Mary Lou didn’t notice this. After school, the girls invited me to join them in front of the school.
Arms wrapped around her backpack, Mary Lou came down the school steps. The taunting began—rude,
biting comments and disrespectful words from the girls. I paused, then joined right in. My force began to pick
up as I approached her, mean(卑劣)remarks falling from my lips. I even pulled the belt of her backpack and then
pushed her. The belt broke, Mary Lou fell. Everyone was laughing and patting me. I fit in. But I was not proud.
Something inside me hurt.
Mary Lou got up, gathered her books and—without a tear shed—off, she went. She held her head high as a
small trickle of blood ran down from her injured knee.
I turned to leave with my laughing friends and noticed a man standing beside his car. His skin, dark hair
and handsome features told me this was her father. Respectful of Mary Lou’s proud spirit, he remained still and
watched the lonely girl walk toward him. Only his eyes—shining with both grief and pride—followed. As I
passed, he looked at me in silence with burning tears that spoke to my shame and scolded my heart. He didn’t
speak a word.
No scolding from a teacher or a parent could linger(逗留)as much as that hurt in my heart from the day a
father’s eyes taught me kindness and strength and dignity. I never again joined the cruel herds. I never
again hurt someone for my own gain.
小题1: The writer felt she fit in when      .
A.she relaxed and talked with her new classmateB.she became a leader of a school club
C.she picked a wing off a butterflyD.others cheered for her after she treated Mary badly
小题2:What does the underlined word“taunting”mean in the article?
A.Playing a gameB.Joining a club
C.Criticizing a personD.Watching a movie
小题3:Mary’s father     after he saw what happened to her daughter.
A.felt shameful and angry for his daughterB.felt sad and proud for his daughter’s bravery
C.felt it necessary to teach the writer a lessonD.felt it a pity that she didn’t fight back
小题4:The writer would never hurt someone for her own gain because she    .
A.was impressed by Mary’s calmness
B.was afraid to be scolded by Mary’s father
C.was sorry she hurt Mary’s knee
D.was aware that it was a shame to make fun of Mary

A.a rude girl who enjoys making fun of others
B.a clever girl who is good at making friends with others
C.a shy girl who isn’t good at communicating with others

Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. However, most people don’t know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.
小题1:Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text?
A.To remember both of them.B.To prove their wisdom.
C.To introduce the topic of the text.D.To explain their relationships.
小题2:According to the text, how old was Philo when he finished his invention of TV?
A.27 years old.B.21 years old.C.33 years oldD.39 years old
小题3:Philo Farnsworth got the idea for TV from ______.
A.the radioB.science booksC.potato fieldsD.a machine
小题4: The underlined part “building up” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A.startingB.sellingC.putting upD.making bigger
小题5:Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. Two rich men gave Philo money to do experiments.
b. Philo sold his own company.
c. Philo beat RCA in law.
d. Philo fixed broken radios.
e. Philo showed his invention to others.

It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.
I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents’ room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I’d never seen my dad cry before. My heart sank. What possibly could have happened?
"Max, I’m so sorry," I heard him say. That’s when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died. Max has been my dad’s best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was going on; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life ,she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew apart. She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten she had to live in a hospital in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end. Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life. She wanted to know everything I did and every thing I ate. In a way, she lived through me.
After we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket(棺材).
Her funeral was very different from any funeral I’d ever been to. After they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her. I remember crying so hard, I felt weak. My cheeks burned from the tears. My whole body was shaking as I picked up the shovel, but I’m glad I did it.
When Suzie and I first started calling one another, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong. I learned so much from her. She gave me more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never take anything for granted especially my health and the gift of life.
小题1:What does the underlined part “In a way, she lived through me.” mean?
A.Suzie got to know what life outside hospital was like by sharing my experience.
B.Suzie was financially dependent of me.
C.Suzie managed to pull through her illness with the help of my family.
D.Suzie was too weak to live her own life.
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.Suzie was the only person helping the author with difficulties.
B.The author feared that she might also get the same disease as Suzie.
C.The author benefited a lot from talking on the phone with Suzie.
D.The author didn’t understand Suzie was her true friend until Suzie’s death.
小题3:What is the most important lesson the author learned from Suzie’s death?
A.Never let go of a friend even if you are apart.
B.Be thankful for what we have in our life.
C.Talking with a friend can cure your illness.
D.We can learn more from our friends than they do from us.
