完形填空提高篇33
1．My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the
36
of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then
37
the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on
38
his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he
39
belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be
40
, I didn抰 think much of it, but I had
41
to warn my neighbors of the drawings
42
appearing in their letterboxes桰 just didn抰 have the
43
to do so, because I was a little busy recently.lon
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I
44
Mary, my elderly neighbor,
45
at her mail box. She said, 揓odie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me??I was at once
46
, 揙h to yes, Mary, it is. I抦 sorry. I meant to tell you厰 She cut me off, 揓odie, I just love his mail. I抳e
47
every item he has sent. You don抰 know how much
48
the letters has made my day. I just love them.?While I was walking down to school after ou 揙h tor
49
, many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn抰 have a lot to fill her days,
50
she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small
51
of getting some mail梡ictures drawn by the hand of a young child梙a tos brought
52
to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should
53
this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most
54
make their day.
It抯 doing the little, simple things that can often make a big
55
in someone抯 life.om

【解析】文章主要讲了加利福尼亚的一个小镇缺水，为了生存，他们把污水净化后使用，这使得这个小镇迅速发展。
【小题1】C 词义和固定搭配。“supply”提供“get”得到
又因为be +adj+to do sth
所以此处应是be hard to do。。。做某事很困难。句意：在一些地方，水很难得到
故选C
【小题2】A
what作主语，谓语使用单数形式。此处应用三单形式。句意：当一个小镇有这些问题时会发生什么？
故选A
【小题3】B 词义与词性辨析。A关键B回答，答案C回答D方式
句意：一个加利福尼亚的小镇发现了一个令人愉快的答案。
Answer即可做动词，又可作名词。
故此处选B

AB均修饰不可数名词
CD修饰可数名词
“rain”雨，为不可数名词。

为了居住而来， 表示一种目的，但文中并没有出现关于“目的”来居住，故选B
【小题8】C 形容词和上下文辨析。 Water水，为不可数名词。

故选C
【小题9】A 短语辨析。
AB have to do 不得不做某事

Now表示现在时，故排除B

3．I used to live in a separate room. I loved living

37
my room. At first, my parents said “no” to him, but at last my mother
38
. I cried and begged my parents not to do this,

As soon as Mike entered my room, my room began to become
40
. To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes everywhere!
One evening, I was doing my homework on my computer while Mike was listening to music. Later, I left my
41

42
me when I returned. He had used my computer to play games. I had
43
to save the homework. Sadly, he closed the program
44
saving it--- all my effort had disappeared! I shouted at him at the top of my
45
. He cried a lot as my mother
46
him. My mother also asked him to leave my room
47
.
Then I did my homework once again. At 11:00PM, I
48
it. I was about to turn off my computer when I saw the
49
of my brother that he had put on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how he was crying when my mom punished him. I really felt

for him.

51
in my parents?bed. I kissed his forehead. He woke up, 52
anmd said, “I’m sorry, I won’t bring you

I was successful at my job. I worked very hard, but it 36
me and my family a fabulous (极好的) lifestyle. I’d worked for the same company for twenty years and had worked my way up to department director.
37
, one afternoon last May, I was called to the office, and it was
38
explained to me that they were letting me go. I just sat there
39
they talked on and all I could think was, “I’ve
40 .”
I’d been so well respected, but
41
I was of no value.
For six weeks, I was in a very
42
place. I wandered around my house like a zombie (僵尸). I could 43 things needed doing, but would not do anything. My beliefs in looking forward and seeing the positive (积极的) in everything
44
me.
Then, in late June, my youngest son’s football team made the city cup final. The year before, he’d been very sad when I
45
the same final, so he was
46
when I told him I’d go. Not only did they win, but the look on his face as he saw me
47
him on was unbelievable, From then on, I spent the summer enjoying my some and their passions (激情). I attended match after match and performances of my elder son’s band — I
48
went to another city to watch him play. These moments were so
49 . My life had been so much devoted to
50
for so long, and I felt
51
that my sons were happy to welcome me into their world.
52 , being unemployed gave me back a sense of purpose --- I was someone’s mum! I felt a sense of being
53
Again. Now I feel more positive about my professional
54
and I’m getting on better with my family than I ever have. Losing my job made me realize just how
55
it is to achieve real balance in life.
