A. sensible B. comprehensive C. readily D. in case E. sensitive F. passing G. sign H. space I. suddenly J. liberate K. complex L. granting M. spouse N. perfectly O. ambition “You need an apartment alone even if it’s over a garage,” declared Helen Gurley Brown in her 1962 bestseller “Sex and the Single Girl”. To Brown, solo living afforded the【C1】______ to cultivate the self, furnish the mind and work late, and so on. Young women should enjoy their best years without a【C2】______, she advised, as this not only laid the foundation for stronger marriages but gave them a lifestyle to fall back on【C3】______ they found themselves alone again. Sensational at the time, Brown’s counsel seems【C4】______ now. Certainly both sexes have taken it to heart, marrying later, divorcing【C5】______ and living alone in larger numbers than ever before. Yet little is known about the wider social effects of this unprecedented boom, writes Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist at New York University. His new book “Going Solo” offers a【C6】______ look at the lures and perils of living alone. Mr Klinenberg parts with those who see the rise of solo living as yet another【C7】______ of the decline of civic society. Now that marriage is no longer the ticket to adulthood, a desire to live alone is【C8】______ reasonable, he writes. Young adults view it as a rite of passage, a period of personal growth before possibly settling down. Its cultural acceptance has helped to【C9】______ women from bad marriages and oppressive families,【C10】______ them a space to return to civic life. And as elderly adults live longer than ever before, often without a partner, many hope to stay independent for as long as possible.
1. 【C1】
正确答案:H 解析:空格前的定冠词the提示空格处应填入名词。独自居住给“培养自我、陶冶心灵、熬夜工作”提供了“空间”,故选space“空间”。 知识模块:完形填空
2. 【C2】
正确答案:M 解析:空格前的a提示空格处应填入可数名词单数。本段在强调单身的好处,因此年轻女性应该享受没有伴侣的日子,故应选spouse“配偶”。ambition“野心”
与“单身的好处”无关,可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
3. 【C3】
正确答案:D
解析:空格前后的句子都是成分完整的分句,故推测空格处填入连词。前一句意为“能够重返从前的生活方式”,而后一句“发现自己再次成为单身”是“以防”出现的假设情况,故应选in case“以防”。 知识模块:完形填空
4. 【C4】
正确答案:A 解析:空格前的系动词seems提示空格处应填入形容词。逗号前说的是at the time“一度”,而逗号后是now,两者形成鲜明的对比,因此空格填入的词应与上文的Sensational“轰动一时的”形成鲜明对比。Sensational在此指该观点在当时非常另类,词库中能与之相对的形容词只有sensible“合理的”。干扰选项sensitive“敏感的”是形近干扰。 知识模块:完形填空
5. 【C5】
正确答案:C 解析:“divorcing——”与空格后living alone并列,因此推测空格处填入与alone词性一致的副词。根据上下文的语境,现在提倡的是单身、更晚结婚及独居,因此可以说人们的婚姻观更开放,故选readily,填入文中表示“更容易离婚”。 知识模块:完形填空
6. 【C6】
正确答案:B 解析:空格应填入形容词修饰look,说明该书对独居生活的好坏有着怎样的看法。既然涵盖了好与坏,那分析应该是comprehensive“全面的”,故选B。complex“复杂的”,包含好与坏并不一定就是“复杂的”,故可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
7. 【C7】
正确答案:G
解析:空格填入被another修饰的名词。本句意为“把独居的兴起看成是公民社会倒退的……”,备选名词中的sign“迹象”代入空格,句意通顺,故选G。 知识模块:完形填空
8. 【C8】
正确答案:N
解析:空格应填入副词修饰形容词reasonable。由空格前的“既然婚姻并不再是通往成熟的途径”,可推出“独居的渴望是合理的”,因此空格处的副词是“肯定”这种合理性,词库中的perfectly“完全地”符合要求。 知识模块:完形填空
9. 【C9】
正确答案:J
解析:空格前的不定式符号to提示,空格处应填入的动词,与后面的from构成搭配。本句中的Its指代“独居的”,“文化上对独居的接受”当然是让妇女从失败的婚姻和受压迫的家庭中解放出来,备选动词中的liberate“解放”符合要求。 知识模块:完形填空
10. 【C10】
正确答案:L
解析:空格前的句子主干完整,而空格后带了双宾语,因此可推断空格处应填入现在分词作状语。空格处现在分词的逻辑主语为Its cultural acceptance“文化上对独居的接受”,这能“给予”女性重返公民生活的空间。词库中的granting“赋予”符合要求。 知识模块:完形填空
A. equipping B. explore C. present D. realistic E. noticeably F. growing up G. interacting H. ready I. monitor J. cautiously K raising up L. sufficient M. restrictions N. include O. experience Facebook—with its requirement that users be at least 13—and Twitter are indeed geared toward older teenagers and adults. Parents should follow those【C1】______ because children younger than 13 are not developmentally【C2】______ for the subtle differences of the social interactions on those sites. Social media are so interwoven with kids’ lives, though, that to bar them from using the sites at all is not【C3】______. In fact, if parents don’t let their children use social media, they are not 【C4】______them with the skills they need to function in the digital world. Social networking today is really just a natural part of the way kids and teens are【C5】______. They use social networking to【C6】______ some of the natural developmental issues that they are going through. But using social media can come at a cost when kids use it to bully or tease classmates, so it’s important to teach children that they are【C7】______ with real people online. Parents can use the chat functions on sites such as Webkinz, which is geared toward children ages 6 to 13, as a way to teach kids to be kind in the online world. It’s also important to【C8】______ how your child is reacting to social media to make sure they’re not becoming obsessed with using it, or upset by things that they have seen. Trouble signs【C9】______ kids who are acting withdrawn or are obsessive about social networking. If your child is only happy when using social media, or【C10】______ sad after using it, those are signs that it is problematic.
11. 【C1】

12. 【C2】
正确答案:H
解析:空格前的are提示,空格应填入形容词或分词。空格前提到children younger than 13“年龄小于13岁的孩子”,提示此处指“还没发育成熟”,be ready for…表示“准备好……”,符合上下文语境。强干扰项sufficient“足够的”不跟副词developmentally“在发育上”搭配,可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
13. 【C3】
正确答案:D
解析:空格前的is提示空格处应填入形容词或分词。注意本句为so…that…结构句型,空格前说“社交媒体已与孩子的生活交织在一起”,故禁止他们使用网络是“不现实的”,空格前有否定词not,因此选realistic“现实的”。 知识模块:完形填空
14. 【C4】
正确答案:A
解析:空格前的are提示空格处应填入形容词或分词。空格前的条件状语从句提到“如果父母不让孩子使用社交媒体”,符合逻辑的结果是“孩子们不具备网络社交技能”,因此空格处应填入“具备,拥有”含义的词,equip...with意为“使……拥有”,符合上下文语境。 知识模块:完形填空
15. 【C5】
正确答案:F
解析:空格前的are提示空格处应填入形容词或分词。本句意为“社交网络是儿童和青少年______方式的自然组成部分”,备选项中的growing up“成长”填入文中,句意通顺。 知识模块:完形填空
16. 【C6】
正确答案:B
解析:此处为“use sth.to do sth.”结构,因此空格处应填入动词原形,且该动词与其后的“自然成长问题”构成动宾搭配。备选项中的动词原形explore“探索”和experience“经历”填入文中语义通顺,但experience与空格后的going
through语义重复,可排除,故选B项explore。 知识模块:完形填空
17. 【C7】
正确答案:G
解析:空格前的are提示空格处应填入形容词或分词。玩社交网当然是和真实的人交流互动,故应选interacting,interact with...表示“与……互动”。 知识模块:完形填空
18. 【C8】
正确答案:I
解析:空格前的不定式符号to提示空格处应填入动词原形。空格后提及to make sure...using it“以确保其不会沉迷于网络”,要确保孩子不沉迷于网络就需要对孩子的社交网络反应进行监控,备选项的monitor“观察”能表达这个意思。 知识模块:完形填空
19. 【C9】
正确答案:N
解析:空格应填入动词作句子谓语。空格后的“孩子表现孤僻或沉迷社交网络”是trouble signs中的某些具体表现形式,是包含于trouble signs中的,备选动词中的include“包括”符合语义要求,故选N。 知识模块:完形填空
20. 【C10】
正确答案:E
解析:空格应填入副词修饰形容词sad,由下文的problematic“问题的”可知孩子很悲伤,词库中的noticeably“明显地”代入,能表达这层意思,故为答案。干扰项cautiously“慎重地”不能跟sad构成语义通顺的搭配,可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
A. fighting B. subjects C. certainly D. question E. result in F. further G. appearance H. average I. tighten J. root in K. struggling L. without M. higher N. relax O. normal At school we went over our social networking guidelines. Besides the obvious—don’t be inappropriate with students through texting and Facebooking—we were【C1】______ directed to “always think and write like an educator” and “never use a blog to comment about your job duties” and “never blog or write about extremely personal【C2】______”. The handout told us that any Facebook pictures that show “the use of alcohol or anything students are prohibited from doing,” could【C3】______ discipline. All of this is because “community members may hold you to a【C4】______ standard of conduct than the【C5】______ person.” It is also advised that teachers should refrain from “discussion or revealing to students personal matters about their private lives” making me【C6】______ every
piece of writing I have ever shared with my students. Educators have been expected to be superheroes for a while now,【C7】______ poverty, dysfunction, immense curriculums, and time. But now we are expected to be the faultless and faceless 【C8】______ opinions or personal lives. I understand the Public Face and I have gotten pretty good at wearing it And I【C9】______am not forgiving inappropriate behavior with or around children. But with policies like this, I am afraid to buy beer at the grocery store or wear clothes that break dress code out in public on hot days. But while the rest of the population gets to【C10】______ into their averageness(even President Obama can drink beer in public without losing his job), teachers are expected to live their average lives behind closed doors.
21. 【C1】
正确答案:F
解析:空格前为were,而空格后为过去分词directed,因此可判断空格处应填入副词,修饰directed。空格后的“永远保持教育工作员的身份去思考和写作”等要求相对于上文提到的“明显的规定”是更进一步的要求,备选副词中的further“更进一步地”符合要求。 知识模块:完形填空
22. 【C2】
正确答案:B
解析:空格应填入被personal所修饰的名词。教师应避免谈论的是“私人的话题”,故应选subjects“话题”。根据常识,appearance“外貌”并不属于教师应避免的范围,可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
23. 【C3】
正确答案:E
解析:空格前的could提示空格处应填入动词作谓语。在脸谱网上发布展示“饮用酒精或者任何学生被禁止做的行为”的图片属于上述提到规定中教师应禁止做的行为,故推断这一做法会“导致”处罚,词库中的result in“导致”符合要求。干扰项root in“植根于”代入空格,句意不通,可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
24. 【C4】
正确答案:M

25. 【C5】
正确答案:H
解析:空格应填入形容词,修饰person。此处要表达的是“一般人”,词库中的average“普通的”符合要求。normal为强干扰项,normal person指“正常人”,强调的是发育正常、心智健全的人,不能跟“老师”形成对照,故排除。 知识模块:完形填空
26. 【C6】
正确答案:D
解析:此处为“make sb.do sth.”结构,故空格应填入动词。前文提到的建议是让教师不要与学生讨论或透露自己的私人生活,这一建议使我“质疑”我之前与学生分享经历的做法是否恰当,故选question“质疑”。 知识模块:完形填空
27. 【C7】
正确答案:A
解析:空格前的句子结构完整,且空格后带有一系列名词,故推测空格处填入现在分词作状语。教育工作者被看作是“超级英雄”,“超级英雄”应该是“对抗”贫困、阻碍等困难的人物,故选fighting“与……斗争”。struggling为不及物动词,其后不能直接接宾语,故可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
28. 【C8】
正确答案:L
解析:根据空格前的faultless“毫无过错的”和faceless“无个性的”以及上文多次提到不要和学生分享私人生活,可知教师现在被期望“没有个人意见和私人生活”,故选without“没有”。 知识模块:完形填空
29. 【C9】
正确答案:C
解析:空格所在句句子成分完整,因此空格处应填入副词。由上下文可知,作者是反对有学生在场的情况下不恰当的举止,故应选表肯定的certainly“当然”。 知识模块:完形填空
30. 【C10】

When we set up our bibliotherapy service through The School of Life in 2008, our 【C2】______ was obvious: to show people that books, and particularly novels, not only have the 【C3】______ to lift spirits, but to effect fundamental psychological shifts, healing and enriching the heart, the intellect and the soul in extraordinary ways. But you could【C4】______ that someone with depression would struggle to make their way to the library, let alone put a spring in their stride, simply by the offer of some mood enhancing reads. One of the things we have found as bibliotherapists is that clients with depression【C5】______ a therapeutic book require a very individualized prescription. Some may want a book that offers some escape—in which case the odd English humour of Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle may do the trick. But others may【C6】______ with impatience to anything that seems too unlike real life. The majority of our clients do not come to us for medical reasons; most come【C7】______ they love reading, and in this day of publishing overload they want to be sure they use their reading time well. There are few greater pleasures in life than discovering a novel that【C8】______ back a world you recognise—and yet takes you into a deeper experience of that world. And research has shown that reading can be highly effective in【C9】______ stress. We find Henry James a【C10】______ way to order your mind when everything becomes too much—the literary equivalent of Beethoven or Bach.
31. 【C1】
正确答案:K
解析:空格应填入动词,作同位语从句的谓语,该从句是对suggestion“建议”的具体说明,因此谓语需用(should+)动词原形,词库中无“should+动词原形”选项,故在动词原形中找答案。空格后接了a“mood-enhancing” book,要发挥这本书mood-enhancing(即上文的send patients with depression away)的功能,当然需要“阅读”这本书,备选动词中的read“阅读”符合要求,故选K。 知识模块:完形填空
32. 【C2】
正确答案:A
解析:空格前的our提示,空格处应填入名词作句子主语。冒号后的“为了告诉人们,书籍,尤其是小说,不仅可以……,还可以……”等内容是一些明确的“目的”,故选aim“目的”。 知识模块:完形填空
33. 【C3】
正确答案:N
解析:空格前的定冠词the提示,空格处应填入名词。空格后的to lift spirits“提升士气”是一种“力量”,词库中的power指身体上、精神上或心理上的力量,用在该句中指“提升士气的力量”,符合上下文语境。strength一般指的是“体力”,与空格后的lift spirits不符。 知识模块:完形填空
34. 【C4】
正确答案:B
解析:空格前的could提示空格处应填入动词原形。由转折词But可知,这里的观点与上一句有所不同。因而选择具有“争论,争辩”含义的动词,备选动词中的argue“辩称”符合语境要求。 知识模块:完形填空
35. 【C5】
正确答案:G
解析:空格所在从句的主干为clients require a prescription,因此可推断“______a therapeutic book”应为后置定语,修饰clients,由于空格后带有名词短语,故判断空格处为现在分词。病人要通过阅读疗法治病首先要寻找图书,故用seeking“寻求”,选G。long“渴望”为不及物动词,要与for搭配才可以接宾语,据此排除longing。 知识模块:完形填空
36. 【C6】
正确答案:I
解析:空格应填入动词作主句谓语。空格后的impatience“不耐烦”是人作出的一种反应,respond to意为“对……作出反应”,代入空格,指对看似过于虚构的生活表现出没有耐心,符合语境要求,故选I。干扰项comply与with搭配,表示“服从”,代入空格,句意不通,可排除。 知识模块:完形填空
37. 【C7】
正确答案:D
解析:空格前后的句子成分完整,因此可判断空格处应填入连词。空格前谈到大多数上门来的顾客不是为了治病,空格后表明原因——他们爱阅读,故选D项because。 知识模块:完形填空
38. 【C8】
正确答案:E

解析:空格前有介词in,而空格后接了名词stress,因此空格处应为动名词。根据全文最后一句“觉得当你身负重荷时,阅读亨利·詹姆斯的书能理清思路”可知,阅读能够减轻压力,故选reducing“减少”。 知识模块:完形填空
40. 【C10】
正确答案:M
解析:空格应填入形容词修饰way。此处讲阅读亨利·詹姆斯的书的好处,故应填入褒义的词。a reliable way to…指“一个……的可靠方法”,符合语境,故选M。 知识模块:完形填空
