　　完形填空

　　137

　　Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don't get paid for it, or if you can only work at it

　　1

　　. Albert Einstein was

　　2

　　to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, "Well, I just don't have the work relative to

　　3

　　I should give up on it and settle for some thing else."

　　4

　　, he wrote the two most famous papers while

　　5

　　as a patent (专利) ofrice worker. After the

　　6

　　, there was not any major

　　7

　　in the world that would not have wanted him to work for them

　　If you want to work as an artist and are

　　8

　　as a waiter, don't think of yourself as a waiter who

　　9

　　one day to become an artist. That puts the

　　10

　　you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think yourself as

　　11

　　, supporting yourself by waiting tables and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is

　　12

　　to eam a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That

　　13

　　plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft (手艺) in the

　　14

　　hours.

　　While seeking the work you love,

　　15

　　helps to expand your awareness(意识)into the universe of all possibilities. You don't want to be

　　16

　　the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened

　　17

　　the possibilities, you can make a final

　　18

　　and select the work you love as your own.

　　Doing the work you love

　　19

　　that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the

　　20

　　. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.

　　1. A. full-time

　　B. hard

　　C. easily

　　D. part-time

　　答案: D

　　指导：联系全句，可知作者在此谈论尽早做自己喜欢做的工作的必要性。A项有一定的干扰性，从第二段作者所

　　举的例子(一个想成为艺术家的人)我们可以看出，作者认为无论是兼职，还是不拿报酬做自己喜欢的工作都是有必要的。前面有“即使没有报酬”作为信息提示，因此只能是“兼职的、业余的”。

　　2. A. unable

　　B. able

　　C. unwilling D. anxious

　　答案: A

　　指导：从下文的"Well，I just don't have the work relative to 3(physics)，I should give up on it ．．．”得知，Albert Einstein起初没有得到物理教授的工作，因此用was unable to．其他选项“不乐意”、“非常急切”都不符合题意。

　　3. A. science

　　B. maths

　　C. physics

　　D. money

　　答案: C

　　指导：relative to在这里是“与……有关”的意思。Einstein没能找到做物理教授的工作，他觉得自己不适合物理方面的工作。由常识可知，爱因斯坦从事的是物理方面的工作，而不是其他方面。

　　4. A. So

　　B. Instead

　　C. Therefore D. And

　　答案: B

　　指导：instead of在这里相当于instead of getting a job as a physics professor，此处表示爱因斯坦并没有放弃，而是更加努力。表示“没有…而…”只能用instead，其他不合逻辑。注意这是高考完形填空的常没考点。

　　5. A. employed

　　B. regarded C. worked

　　D. recognized

　　答案: A

　　指导：while employed等于while he was employedo C项有一定的干扰性，在时间状语从句或条件状语从句中，从句的主语如果与主句的主语一致，且谓语动词含有be，可以省略主语和动词be.C项显然不符合这一规则。

　　6. A. inventions

　　B. discoveries

　　C. successes

　　D. papers

　　答案: A

　　指导：the inventions指Einstein的两项理论的发明。此处不是“发现”，也不是“论文”，这里用“成功”的复数也不妥当。

　　7. A. city

　　B. factory

　　C. university D. company

　　答案: C

　　指导：从前文我们得知，Einstein起初想做物理教授，没有哪个大学想要他。现在他出名了，没有哪所重点大学不想要他。由前面爱因斯坦想当“大学教授”的信息提示，可排除其他选项。

　　8. A. known

　　B. making a living

　　C. leading a life

　　D. chosen

　　答案: B指导：从后文"supporting(养活)yourself by waiting tables"可知，以艺术为自己的工作时，做饭店服务员只是为了挣钱养活自己。be known as“作为……出名”；lead a life"生活”；bechosenasa!被选为”都不合题意。

　　9. A. thinks

　　B. imagines C. hopes

　　D. decides

　　答案: C

　　指导：who在这里代表awalter，本句的意思是“不要把自己看成一个有一天能成为艺术家的饭店服务员”。显然作者认为，你应该把自己看成艺术家，而不是服务员。“决定”成为艺术家不合逻辑，think，imagine后不能直接跟不定式。

　　10. A. man

　　B. woman

　　C. person

　　D. work

　　答案: D

　　指导：that在这里指“认为自己是一个有一天能成为艺术家的服务员”；work指“成为“艺术家”，本句的意思是“那只能让你喜欢的工作(成为艺术家)留在遥远的未来”。

　　11. A. an artist

　　B. a waiter C. a waitress D. a painter

　　答案: A

　　指导：这里还是表示为了你自己成为“艺术家”的梦想而努力。

　　12. A. impossible

　　B. possible C. important

　　D. lucky

　　答案: B

　　指导：“一个星期做24小时的服务员也许能挣到生存的薪水。”possible在这里表示“可能性。”此处表示“什么事情可能”，其他选项不合题意。

　　13. A. sends

　　B. spares

　　C. leaves

　　D. takes

　　答案: C

　　指导：“一个一周只做24小时的服务员，那会给自己留下足够的时间投身于培训或提高手艺”。此处应用表示“留下”的动词，spare意为“抽出”，显然不能在工作时间抽出时间去学习手艺。

　　14. A. on

　　B. office

　　C. business

　　D. off

　　答案: D

　　指导：off在这里用作形容词，意思是“休假的、业余的”。整个第二段以working as anartist，while supporting yourself by waiting tables为例说明作者开头所提出的Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible，even if you don't get paid for it ，or if you can only work at it part time．

　　15. A. it

　　B. which

　　C. that

　　D. this

　　答案: A

　　指导：分析本句结构是选对此空的关键。While seeking the work you love是时间状语从句，you love即that

　　you love，作定语修饰work，因此it helps to．．．为主句。it 为形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，help在这里是“有帮助，起作用”的意思。其他选项都不能作形式主语。

　　16. A. interested in

　　B. devoted to

　　C. limited to

　　D. troubled by

　　答案: C指导：从下一句"Having opened l7 the possibilities，you can make a final 18 and select the work you love as your own”可知作者在此认为你不应该把自己局限到(1imted to)你应该是什么或已成为什么的观念上。“投入到”、“被扰乱”等都不合逻辑。

　　17. A. no

　　B. all

　　C. few

　　D. both

　　答案: B

　　指导：从空后youcanmakeafinall8(decision)得出此答案，此处指眼界打开了，所有的可能性都出现了。

　　18. A. decision

　　B. plan

　　C. conclusion D. judge

　　答案: A

　　指导：先是打开所有的可能，然后做出最终决定，最后选出最喜欢的。此处是做最终的“决定”，而不是制定计划或得出“结论”等。

　　19. A. suggests

　　B. requires C. insists

　　D. encourages

　　答案: B

　　指导：“做你最喜欢的工作要求你把想像和实际平等对待”。注意作主语的是动名词短语，由此可排除其他选项。因为其他选项作主语的都是人。

　　20. A. necessary

　　B. practical C. careful

　　D. honest

　　答案: B

　　指导：从后文我们得知the imaginative指big dreams， 而the practical指all the little details．从对比关系，可扩除其他选项。
