完形填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)(2017新课标I卷)
阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I went to a group activity, “Sensitivity Sunday”, which was to make us more
36
the problems faced by disabled people. We were asked to “
37
a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some members,
38
, chose to use wheelchairs. Others wore sound-blocking earplugs(耳塞)or blindfolds(眼罩).
Just sitting in the wheelchair was a
39
experience. I had never considered before how
40
it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down, my
41
made the chair begin to roll. Its wheels were not
42
. Then I wondered where to put my
43
. It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into
44
. I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of
45
for several hours. For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary(临时的)
46
.
I tried to find a
47
position and thought it might be restful,
48
kind of nice, to be
49
around for a while. Looking around, I
50
I would have to handle the thing myself? My hands started to ache as I
51
the heavy metal wheels. I came to know that controlling the
52
of the wheelchair was not going to be a(n)
53
task.
My wheelchair experiment was soon
54
. It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the
55
, both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.
36. A. curious about
B. interested in
C. aware of
D. careful with
37. A. cure
B. prevent
C. adopt
D. analyze
38. A. instead
B. strangely

D. extra
54. A. forgotten
B. repeated
C. conducted
D. finished
55. A. weaknesses

36.【答案】B
【解析】根据空白处后面不the problems faced by disabled people可知,活动的目的是为了意识到残疾人面临的问题。Curious about…好奇……;aware of…意识到……;interested in…对…感兴趣;careful with…注意…;照顾…。
37.【答案】B
【解析】根据下文some members chose…others wore,可知作者被要求挑选一种残疾而不是治愈、阻止或分析。
38.【答案】D
【解析】根据最后一段第一句my wheelchair experiment可知,作者选择使用轮椅。有些同学显然是像我选择了轮椅。
39.【答案】A
【解析】根据后句I had never considered before how…和本段最后一句的感概,可知作者认为坐在轮椅上就是一次学习的经历,而不是工作经历或令人满意、令人放松的经历。
40.【答案】B
【解析】根据第二段话的描述,活动前作者从未意识到使用轮椅有多么的笨拙,而不是使用轮椅有多么方便、讨厌或兴奋。
41.【答案】D
【解析】状语从句部分as soon as I sat down提示,轮子动起来发生的时间是当作者一坐下去的时候,显然能让轮子动起来的不可能是作者的身高或技巧,而是作者的体重。
42.【答案】A
【解析】后句then提示:本句是对上句轮子为什么会转动的解释,显然因为轮子未被锁住,而不是修理或抓住,更不是因为轮子没动力装置。
43.【答案】B
【解析】根据下文“费了好长时间我才让footrest(脚蹬)”,归位可知,此时作者不知道把自己的脚放在哪里,毕竟是健康人在模拟残疾人的生活。
44.【答案】A
【解析】put…into place有“把…归位”的意思。作者是健康人,他刚坐到轮椅上不会驾轻就熟,所以即便将脚蹬归位这样简单的动作,竟然用了很长时间。
45.【答案】C
【解析】作者参加的是使用轮椅几个小时的体验活动,而轮椅是一种交通工具,故最佳答案是C。
46.【答案】C
【解析】根据第一段可知,作者参加的是残疾人体验活动,使用轮椅不过是个实验,但对于残疾人而言,使用轮椅可不再是个实验,而是一辈子的生活,更不是临时的探索、教育或娱乐。
47.【答案】D
【解析】根据and之后的though it might…可知,作者努力要找一个舒服的姿势,从而被人推着四处逛逛是件让人放松的事,所以要找的不是灵活的、安全的或开始的姿势。
48.【答案】D
【解析】相比空白处前面的restful,空白处后面的kind of nice显然递进了一步,所以最佳答案为even,意为:甚至。Yet“然而”;just仅仅;still仍然。
49.【答案】B
【解析】上文的adopting a wheelchair提示,作者坐着轮椅,自然希望被人推,而不是开车接送或引导,更不会是被人带领四处逛逛。
50.【答案】A
【解析】通过四下张望,我自己得搞定这件事是作者意识到的,而不是建议、同意或承认的。
51.【答案】B
【解析】上句提到作者意识到没人帮他推轮椅,只能自己搞定这件事。言外之意,作者得让轮椅动起来。轮椅的轮子自然得转动,而不是被拿起、摁压或抓住。作者的手在轮椅转动起来的同时,开始痛,因为用手拨动轮椅才能转。
52.【答案】C
【解析】轮椅是一种交通工具,而交通工具最重要的是掌控方向,所以答案为C。
53.【答案】A
【解析】上句提到,拨动沉重的轮子的时候,作者的手开始痛。既然轮子重,手又痛,可推断拨动轮椅不是件容易的事情。
54.【答案】D
【解析】本题出现在最后一段的第一句话,这段是上文的总结性的段落,作者要感概残疾人的不容易,自然要到体验结束,而不是实验被遗忘、重复或很快实施的时候。
55.【答案】C
【解析】A弱点;B焦虑;C挑战;D疾病。我只是品尝了一下残疾人必须要克服的心理和身体上的挑战。
A段
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.
On 17 July, a piece four kilometres wide enters the Earth's
atmosphere (大气层) with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South
Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometre
high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an
hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and mil lions of people are drowned.
Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of
the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north
into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of lob Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won't escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by, clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won't be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs (恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 mil- lion years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?
1. What is mainly described in the passage?
A. A historic discovery
B. An event of imagination
C. A research on space.
D. A scientific adventure
答案:
2. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes_________.
A. an earthquake
B. damages to cities
C. an Earth explosion
D. huge waves
答案:
3. Why can't the northern half of the' earth escape for long?
A. Because the land is covered with water.
B. Because the light and heat from the sun cannot reach the earth.
C. Because people there cannot live at the temperature of zero.
D. Because wars break out among countries.
答案:
4. By giving the example of dinosaurs the author tries to prove_________.
A. animals could not live in the cold climate
B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
C. the human beings will die out in 2094
D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space Passage
