阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Charlie Chaplin, born in a poor family, showed an1.(astonish)talent2.a performer as soon as he could walk. Unfortunately, his father died early,3.(leave)his family even4.(badly ) off. In his teens, he could act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks, whom no one was5.(bore) watching. Later on, Charlie directed, produced and starred in6.series of funny movies,7.made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content 8.their lives. The little trap, who was a homeless man with a moustache, large trousers, worn-out shoes9.a small round black hat, was one of the most outstanding10.(part) he had ever played.

 

1.astonishing 2.as 3.leaving 4.worse 5.bored 6.a 7.which 8.with 9.and 10.parts 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了喜剧大师卓别林的生平信息及表演经历。他出生在贫困家庭,年幼丧父。十几岁就开始扮演傻子,后来他自导自演一系列喜剧,给人们带来许多欢笑。 1.考查形容词。句意:卓别林出生在一个贫穷的家庭,他刚会走路就表现出惊人的表演才能。由现在分词转换的形容词astonishing意为“令人惊讶的”,通常修饰事物。本句中使用astonishing作定语修饰名词talent。故填astonishing。 2.考查介词。as作为介词时意为“作为,以...的身份”,由下文“In his teens, he could act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks…”可知十几岁时就出演傻子,由此推理出所填空意为刚能走路时就有作为表演者的天赋,故填as。 3.考查非谓语动词。句意:不幸的是,他的父亲早逝,使他的家庭更加贫困。句子的谓语动词是“died”,因此“leave”在句中是非谓语动词,它与句子主语“his father”为主动关系,应使用现在分词作结果状语,故填leaving。 4.考查形容词。形容词badly off意为“贫穷的;境况不好的”,横线前副词even说明应该使用badly的比较级形式worse,说明他父亲去世前后家境情况的对比。故填worse。 5.考查形容词。过去分词转换的形容词bored意为“感到厌倦的”,通常修饰人或与人有关的事物。本句中形容词bored作表语修饰主语no one。be bored doing sth.意为“因做某事感到无聊”。故填bored。 6.考查固定搭配。句意:后来,查理导演、制作并主演了一系列有趣的电影,让人们在感到沮丧的时候开怀大笑,这样他们就能对自己的生活感到更加满足。 a series of意为“一系列的”,是固定短语,故填a。 7.考查定语从句的关系词。根据句子结构可知,此处考查非限制性定语从句,其中的先行词为funny movies,关系代词作定语从句中的主语。故填which。 8.考查固定搭配。feel content with意为“满足于”,是固定短语,故填with。 9.考查连词。所填空前后的a moustache, large trousers, worn-out shoes和a small round black hat为并列结构,故填and。 10.考查名词。“one of +the +形容词最高级+名词复数”是英语中最高级的固定搭配,表示“……是……中最……之一”。故填parts。

    Did you make financial decisions last New Year’s Eve? Did they fall by the wayside? If so, you are not alone. 1..

▲Make a smart budget

Did you plan to make a budget and fail to do so? This is a perfect time to start, as you are heading into the new year. You may be able to stop yourself from overspending if you realize how overextended you are. If you’ve taken no other financial steps this year, start by setting a realistic budget. 2..

▲Control your spending

Even if you had a budget, were you able to stick to it? 3.. Use it as a psychological advantageyou have less to spend so you need to shop harder for bargains and research prices. Impulse buying (即兴购买) will be less likely to attract you and your spending should be more focused as a result.

4.

You had a savings goal, didn’t you? If you didn’t have a specific goal, it may be why your savings effort failed. Set a smaller savings goal now, and use that to build a larger savings goal for the upcoming year. Make sure that you equate(使等同)your savings with a specific goal.

▲Reduce your debt

Debt reduction is an important goal, especially in the case of high-interest debt such as credit cards. It’s easy to get into an unrecoverable increase of debt if you have no plan to keep debt in check. It is a longer-term goal, but one you need to start right away. 5.. That may be a tall task, which is all the more reason to start immediately.

A. Increase your savings

B. Have a clear goal for your debt

C. You will go on with your new decisions

D. Most other financial improvements will follow

E. Start small by setting a spending budget for your shopping

F. But this year, you can make some progress on your financial goals

G. Attack the debt with the highest interest rate, and control your spending

    It has been discovered that after the age of sixteen, the number of our brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, when it has collected enough information to be able to use the vast number of cells freely in the most effective way. Pure mathematics is one of the fields in which this happens, and we know that Albert Einstein made all his world-shaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.

But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.

Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom. One can have a very quick, inventive brain and plenty of experience, but if one uses these foolishly, one harms both oneself and others. Wisdom does not always come with age ——there are plenty of foolish middle-aged people about ——but the average person tends to learn wisdom as he gets older, usually by making painful of embarrassing mistakes. Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature, but which is basically a waste of time because it is not.

1.According to the writer, the great discoveries made by Albert Einstein were mainly a result in     .

A.years of hard work B.sharpness of the brain

C.rich experience D.his deep understanding of the nature

2.Some people achieve success much later in life because .

A.their work often requires much experience

B.they do not have a chance to show their talents

C.they have to learn lessons from failures

D.they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work

3.The importance of wisdom lies in the fact that .

A.it helps to avoid various mistakes

B.it contributes to one's creativity

C.it encourages one to go forward in face of difficulty

D.it provides the right direction of efforts

4.The writer came to believe that .

A.it is always a waste of time to make plans about the future

B.it is human nature to make attempts on what looks impossible

C.one should always challenge the impossible to push the society forward

D.one has to use wisdom in deciding what is the best thing to do

    It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?

Taking all amateur(业余)and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated(起源于)in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.

The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.

In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.

Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.

Table tennis, or “ping-pong”, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.

1.The main purpose of Paragraph l is to tell us that the English__________.

A.are all sports lovers B.behave like children

C.like to kick a ball around D.can remain young all their lives

2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?

A.They differ in the shape of the ball. B.They are played by different numbers of players.

C.They both can be handled. D.They both can be kicked.

3.The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is__________.

A.basketball B.tennis C.rugby D.football

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.The Most Popular Sports B.The English Sports

C.History of Sports D.Sports in Britain

    A ten-year-old boy from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence (坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.

That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage (车库) and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids at his age, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.

Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth in Danny’ s hunch (直觉). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old woman had fallen down on some ice in front of her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.

Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they were waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny for following his hunch!

1.When seeing a figure in front of an open garage, Danny ________.

A.recognized it was an old woman

B.thought it was a homeless dog

C.realized something was wrong

D.believed it was nothing important

2.When Dawn got closer to the garage, she ________.

A.noticed the dog had gone away

B.knew Danny’s hunch was wrong

C.found an old lady waving for help

D.felt something must have been stolen

3.Which of the following can best describe Danny?

A.Brave and patient.

B.Friendly and honest.

C.Considerate and positive.

D.Persistent and warm-hearted.

4.What could be the best title for the passage?

A.Always Follow Your Hunch

B.Be Ready to Help Save the Elderly

C.An unknown Hero Brings Love and Hope

D.A 10-year-old Boy Saved His Elderly Neighbor’s Life
