二、完形填空提练(练专项)(限时：20分钟)
(2016·太原市高三第二学段测评)Reading and learning new words is about finding their meaning and use within a passage. The meaning of unknown words which you __1__ in your reading sometimes can be known by their __2__， that is, their contexts. The context of the sentence can tell us the part of speech (词性) of the __3__ word. Using the context of the paragraph to define unknown words can also be __4__.
Readers often have trouble because they understand the sentence word by word instead the __5__ meaning of a word, when they should identify the way it has been used in the passage.
One consideration in using the context is to determine the unknown word's part of speech. The words around the unknown word can give you __6__. Once you know if the word is a noun or an adjective, it is often enough for you to __7__ reading without having to stop to look up the meaning of the word. After coming across the word a few more times, you will know its meaning more __8__ than if you had just looked it up.
Comparison clues indicate that two or more things are __9__. A comparison is possible because the known and unknown words have __10__. The likeness shows you that comparisons can be made.
__11__ clues tell you an example of an unknown word. Example clues are usually __12__ by the following words and phrases: such as, for example, and like.
To find meaning from textbased clues, you should look for clues in the sentence. A second kind of clue does not __13__on specific words to indicate meaning. This
kind of context clue is called a frameworkbased clue. Your
knowledge of the meaning of surrounding words __14__ you discover the meaning of a word or sentence. Common __15__ and your knowledge of the parts of speech also help defining unknown words. For example, the angry driver shouted vehemently during his fight with the other driver. What does “vehemently”__16__？ You know what __17__ means, and you know how people __18__ when they argue. From this, you can __19__ out
that “vehemently” has something to do with strong __20__ or intense feeling.
1.A.take downB．look up
C．come across
D．pick out
解析：选C 有时候你在阅读中所遇到的生词的意思可以通过语境知道其含义。take down“记下”；look up“查阅”；come across“遇见”；pick out“找出”。下文中的“After coming across the word a few more times”也是提示，故C项正确。
2．A.sentences
B．words
C．topics
D．surroundings
解析：选D 根据“that is”可知，此空与contexts是同义词，与下文中的“The words around the unknown word”和“Your knowledge of the meaning of surrounding words”呼应，故D项正确。
3．A.unknown
B．abnormal
C．familiar
D．negative

4．A.unique
B．natural

5．A.correct

C．different

8．A.strangely
B．uncertainly
C．potentially
D．firmly
解析：选D strangely“奇怪地”；uncertainly“犹豫地”；potentially“潜在地”；firmly“坚定地”。根据空格前的“After coming across the word a few more times”可知，在生词出现的频率较高的情况下，根据语境，读者就可以更加确定其具体的含义，故D项正确。

(2016·衡水一中高三模拟)On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't know. I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eightyseven years old .Can I give you a hug？” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may！” She gave me a giant squeeze. “Why_are_you_in_college_at_such_a_young,_innocent_age？” I asked. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one！” she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends.
Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner. I'll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌词) and live them out in our daily life. At the year's end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

(2016·江西九校联考)Sleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of piling on the pounds, a study shows. A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was “light enough to see across” at night. However, they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.
The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as: Light enough to read. Light enough to see across the room, but not read. Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room. Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.
Prof. Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC：“In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity. But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight. There might be other explanations for the association, but the findings are intriguing enough to guarantee further scientific investigation.”
The light is disrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night. Light alters mood, physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24hour cycle. Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
Prof. DerkJan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker. He told the BBC：“People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom. I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker.”Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical equipment such as televisions could light a room, he said.“Overall this study points to the importance of darkness，”he concluded.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了卧室里的亮度对人们健康的影响：过于强烈的光线会影响人体的生物钟，影响人的情绪，还有可能使人肥胖。
8．The passage mainly tells us________.
A．bright bedrooms link to obesity
B．dark bedrooms link to obesity
C．people should turn off lights
D．people should buy thicker curtains
解析：选A 主旨大意题。第一段第一句点明了文章的主题，即有研究表明，在光线太强的房间里睡觉可能会导致体重增加。故选A项。
9．What does the underlined word “disrupt” (Paragraph 4) mean?
A．Stop. B．Disturb.
C．Improve.
D．Recover.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“The light is disrupting the body clock”和第二句可知，本段主要讲述的是光线会干扰生物钟，会改变情绪、体力、甚至人体处理食物的方式，由此可推知画线单词意为“干扰”，与B项disturb意义接近。故选B项。
10．What might Paragraph 4 be used for?
A．One possible explanation on disrupting body clock.
B．One possible explanation on disrupting mood.
C．One possible explanation on disrupting physical strength.
D．One possible explanation on artificial light.
解析：选A 篇章结构题。根据第四段第一句“The light is disrupting the body clock ...”及最后一句中的“Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock”可知，本段主要解释了光线会干扰人体生物钟的可能原因。故选A项。
11．What's Prof. DerkJan Dijk's attitude towards the dark room?
A．Unclear.
B．Doubtful.
C．Negative.
D．Favorable.
解析：选D 观点态度题。根据最后一段第一句中“there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker”及最后一句可以看出，DerkJan Dijk 教授赞成将卧室的亮度调暗。故选D项。

(限时：45分钟)
Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·河南天一大联考)I was visiting the Cape Verde Islands with some friends. Although it was a __1__ (wind) day, the water was clear and my friends were out on the reef. Going out to snorkel (潜泳), I __2__ (notice) that an ocean current had spread to the bay, pushing me towards rocks __3__ (cover) in sea urchins (海胆). Since I wasn't close to the shore, __4__ would have been a tiring exercise to swim against it, so, using the current, I made it back to shore in about an hour.
__5__ (lie) on the beach and out of breath, I heard a voice. A man, __6__ was one of the guys I had just met, was getting pushed past the rocks and would be quickly carried out to sea. No one else was close, __7__ I jumped into the water. Keeping a mark on all of the submerged rocks and sand bars (沙洲), I swam out to him.
“Get hold of my arm and when you reach a sand bar, grip it with your feet，” I said over the roar of the waves.
With one hand, I held onto the man, and with __8__ other, I was using all of my remaining __9__ (strong) to reach the sand bars. Again, I used the current to get across the bay, towards the shallows. __10__ (final), we crawled up the sand and lay there watching the sun.
1．windy 设空处前为冠词后为名词，由此可判断设空处应为形容词。wind的形容词形式是windy。
2．noticed 根据上下文可知设空处应该用一般过去时。
3．covered 被修饰词rocks与cover之间为被动关系且表示完成，故用过去分词作定语。
4．it it在句中作形式主语，to swim against it作真正的主语。
5．Lying 句子主语I与lie为逻辑上的主动关系，且此处表示伴随，故用现在分词作状语。
6．who 先行词为A man，关系词在定语从句中作主语且指“人”，故用who引导。
7．so 句意：附近没有其他人，因此我跳进水里。前后两句为因果关系，故用so连接。
8．the 根据前面的one hand可知设空处应为the。the other表示两者中的另一个。
9．strength 设空处前面是形容词，故填名词形式strength(力气)。

Dear David，
I've learned it from the Internet that you want to make a Chinese friend so as to learn
the Chinese language and culture. I'm glad that you show such great interest in China and I would like to be your friend.
I will try my best to write to you as often as possible to introduce you the Chinese culture. When you have an opportunity to come to China, I'll teach you how to speak
Chinese and show you around some famous historical places of interest. Anyway, I am going to help you as much as I can. How do you think?
I'm looking forward to your reply.
