Historians tend to tell the same joke when they are describing history education in America. Its the one 61 the teacher standing in the schoolroom door 62 goodbye to students for the summer and calling 63 them, By the way, we won World War II.
The problem with the joke, of course, is that its 64 funny. The recent surveys on 65 illiteracy (无知) are beginning to numb (令人震惊): nearly one third of American 17?year?olds cannot even 66 which countries the United States 67 against in that war. One third have no 68 when the Declaration of Independence was 69. One third thought Columbus reached the New World after 1750. Two thirds cannot correctly 70 the Civil War between 1850 and 1900. 71 when they get the answers right, some are 72 guessing.
Unlike math or science, ignorance of history cannot be 73 connected to loss of international 74. But it does affect our future 75 a democratic nation and as individuals.
The 76 news is that there is growing agreement 77 what is wrong with the 78 of history and what needs to be 79 to fix it. The steps are tentative (尝试性) 80 yet to be felt in most classrooms.

【答案解析】:
61.A it指代的是历史学家们所说的笑话,接下来的便是笑话的内容。引出内容的介词是about,故选A。
62.B 此题考查词汇和上下文理解:老师站在校门口对学生挥别,所以,此处选waving(挥手),而不能选shaking(握手)或nodding(点头),speaking后面一般不接宾语。
63.B 此题考查词组。四个选项分别和call组成四个词组:call in(来访),call after(追喊), call for(号召、提倡),call up(提出、召唤)。
64.D 从下文看出,现在的美国年轻人对于本国的历史十分无知。由此推断,这个笑话是一点儿也不好笑的。因此,选D。
65.A 文章以历史学家讲的一个笑话开头,这里的调查则应该是针对历史的无知程度展开的。故选A historical。
66.C 此题与67题一起分析。首先来看67题,这个空缺在定语从句which countries the United Statesagainst in that war中充当谓语,四个选项中,不难得出,fought against这个固定搭配表示与战斗是正确答案。再回到66题,此题考查的是考生的词汇:distinguish(区分、辨认),acknowledge(承认),identify(确认、认出),convey(传达),根据意思,这里应选择C identify。
67.C 参照66题。
68.D 此题考查固定搭配have no idea about(对一无所知),其中的about省略。
69.B the Declaration of Independence指的是独立宣言。原文意为:三分之一的人对于《独立宣言》是何时签署的一无所知。因此,答案为signed(签署)。
70.B 此题考查对原文理解:三分之二的人不能正确评价内战。选项中,只有judge具有评价的意思。
71.A 从此句后半部分可以推出,就算选对了答案,有些人也是猜的。四个选项中最符合逻辑的是A答案Even(甚至),表示递进关系。
72.B just表示仅仅、只是,表达的是被调查者猜题时的不重视心态。
73.D 此题考查上下文理解,原文意思是忽视历史不像忽视数学或科学那样与国际的损失相关。之所以容易忽视历史,是因为历史的重要性并不如数学或科学那么明显,它的作用是间接的。四个选项:exclusively(专门地),practically(实际上地),shortly(短暂地),directly(直接地),其中,directly符合题意。
74.C international community(国际社区)是近年来广泛提倡的概念。
75.D 本句后半部分出现了as,与之并列,这里也选D。
76.D 由后文达成一致可得知,这里的消息应是好消息,用good news表示。故选D答案。
77.C 此题考查介词用法。在上达成一致,介词用on。
78.C 文中提到关于历史知识的调查是在青少年中进行的,由此可知,他们对历史几乎处于无知状态的原因是与历史教学分不开的。到底历史教学出了什么问题呢?这里选teaching。
79.A 表示应该做些什么用what needs to be done。因此选A。
80.B 原文意思是:虽然这些措施是尝试性的,但还是要在大多数课堂上实施。表示还是只有选项B or。

小结:
依据上表,对于语篇理解的考查越来越频繁,而且完型填空中词汇与语篇理解结合得也越来越紧密。仅明显的语篇理解就占了总知识点的25%,再仔细分析其他各题,对于词汇意义的掌握和对于上下文理解的加强达到了前所未有的高度,固定搭配一眼可辨的明显程度也大大降低。
值得一提的是,这篇完型填空出现了考查社会背景及普通常识的international community(国际社区)。这对考生是否具有广阔的知识面是个很大的考验。
