All heads turned to the far end of the table, where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, while he

the tears from his cheeks. He said softly, “I

go to Nuremberg, brother. It is too late for me. Look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and I cannot even hold a glass to

your toast.”

(A)
I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I
1
most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we
2
ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to
3
his family as cold. When we got into the
4
to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 5
, he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often
6
me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant
7
or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his
8
me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his
9
morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I
10
him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt
11
. For example, I always return phone calls
12
and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the
13
: She wasn’t a good friend! My anger
14
as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I
15
and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was
16
at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be
17
. Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their
18
expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my
19
. Over the years, however, I’ve learned to
20
other persons, love signs.

解题步骤
(2011·湖南卷)Does going to college really pay off? Certainly!
I remember taking __48__ English class in college on the short story. Our first assignment was to read __49__ short stories and then discuss which one was better.After reading both, I wasn't sure. Over the __50__ several months, my professor taught me __51__ one story was so much better than the other. __52__ was rich in metaphor(隐喻)and character development, while the other was humorous __53__ too shallow.
3
I couldn't see this at first. Yet, in a few months, my brain got reeducated and __54__ could see the difference between good and bad writing and could appreciate literature at a whole new level.
Going to college helps build a strong mind, which leads __55__ greater success in one's life.
解题的一般步骤是:
一、通读全文,把握语篇。弄清文章的体裁、题材(话题)、写作主线、段落大意、段落层次等有利于考生真正读懂全文大意,也有利于在“填空”时进行必要的逻辑推理。
二、先易后难,尝试填空。在通读全文,基本把握文章大意之后,就可以动手填空了。主观填空的过程是一个判断空白处应填词语的“语义”和正确的语法“形式”的思维过程,要坚持从易到难的原则。根据我们的英语知识积累和语感,有些答案可能不需要过多的思考一眼就能看出来。如有关习惯用语、常用句式等,通常就可在这一步完成。遇到一时想不起来的空,先跳过去,不要用太多的时间停留在一个单词上。填出容易的词语后,大意更趋明朗,语境更加清晰,有助于后面的难题的推敲和判断。
三、利用语境,推敲语义。要抓住上下文的内容联系和逻辑关系,进行多角度,全方位分析,从而准确地判断所填词的意义。推敲语义时,不要忽略连接词、代词、插入语、转折词等的作用。因为这些词往往是改变语境的关键词,具有因果、让步、递进、转折、指代、列举、承上启下的特殊功能。
四、复读全文,确认答案。进行复查是必要的。复查的方法是将填好空的短文从头至尾通读一遍,以最后确定答案。这一步要解决两个问题。第一是从语义和逻辑的角度审视全文,看看所填单词语义上是否正确和最佳。检查一下所填单词是否能使文意上下连贯,前后照应,逻辑顺畅,能否自然地融入语篇。第二是从语法的角度审视全文,检查所填单词的词性和词形的正确性。从语法的角度看看所填词语词形变化是否正确。对自我感觉有问题的地方,要仔细揣摩,准确定夺。

Today, ultrasonic(超声的) waves are being put to work in laboratories and factories. If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forth hundreds of thousands of times each second. This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解,使溶解) in liquids. Paint manufacturers(制造商) use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors. The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film.
The new lightweight(轻量的) type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean. Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes. The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean. There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way.
Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it. The liquid is actually torn apart by this action. Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again. The result is a powerful pounding action. In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均匀,使匀质) milk and sterilizing(使无菌) it at the same time. If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid. In order to make milk easier to digest, these fat droplets(微粒) may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings. The result is called homogenized milk. When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces. (from www.nmet168.com)
1. Why does a paint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors?
A. Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors.
B. Because the waves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids.
C. Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves.
D. Because the waves can clean the paint.
2. What properties does ultrasound wave have?
A. Homogenizes and sterilizes the milk.
B. Mix materials and break droplets.
C. Kill germs and sterilize milk.
D. Move liquids quickly.
3. What exists in the raw milk?
A. Little drops of butter fat.
B. Small holes.
C. Fat droplets and germs.
D. Chemicals.
4. Where is ultrasound wave not used?
A. In the paint manufacture.
B. In the shop mixing bread flour.
C. In the film-making company.
D. In the dairy industry.
1. B 事实细节题。根据其上句 This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解,使溶解) in liquids 可知,答案选 B。
2. D 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的第 1 句 Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it可知,答案选 D。
3. C 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的内容,特别是最后一句 When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces 可知,答案选 C
4. B 推理判断题。根据文章第 1 段最后提到的 Paint manufacturers(制造商)…以及The companies that make film… 两句排除选项 A、C,根据第 3 段第 5 句的 In the dairy industry this is used for… 排除选项 D,从而得出答案是 B。
