"__3 From __ our bedroom we have a marvellous view of Tower Bridge and the Thames, " says David.

第二篇 A Lucky Break

Actor Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones, and it always seems to happen when he's 1 doing sport. In the film Play It to the Bone he 2 plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. 3 During the making of the film Harrelson 4 kept complaining that the fight 5 scenes weren't very convincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasn't 6 keen on the idea at first, but he was 7 eventually persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his 8 opponent was taking it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas 9 so hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing "silly macho games". "She was right," confesses Banderas, "and I was a fool to 10 take a risk like that in the middle of a movie."

He was 11 reminded of the time he broke his leg during a football match in his native Malaga. He had always 12 dreamed of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably over. "That's when I decided to take 13 up acting; I saw it as 14 another way of performing, and achieving recognition. What happened to me on that football 15 another was, you might say, my first lucky break."

第三篇Global Warming

Few people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on the world's climate. Many scientists (1) put the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase (2) in the world's temperatures and are convinced that, more than (3) ever before, the Earth is at (4) risk from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. (5) According to them, global warming is making extreme weather events, (6) such as hurricanes and droughts, even more (7) severe and causing sea levels all around the world to (8) rise .

Environmental groups are putting (9) pressure on governments to take action to reduce the (10) amount of carbon dioxide which is given (11) off by factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in (12) favour of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power (13) stations .

Some scientists, (14) however believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait (15) several hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay.

第四篇 A Success Story

At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers who have (1) made Their fortune through the Internet. (2) What makes Ben's story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was (3) told by teachers at his junior school that he would never be able to read or write (4) properly . "I wanted to prove them (5) wrong ", says Ben, creator and director of Waysearch, a net search engine which can be used to find goods in online shopping malls.

When he was eight, his local authorities (6) provided him with a PC to help with school work. Although he was (7) unable to read the manuals, he had a natural ability with the computer, and (8) encouraged by his father, he soon began (9) charging people $l0 an hour for his knowledge and skills. At the age of 15 he (10) set up his own computer consultancy, Quad Computer, which he ran from his bedroom, and two years later he left school to (11) devote all his time to business.

"By this time the company had grown and I needed to take on a (12) couple of employees to help me", says Ben. "That enabled me to start (13) doing business with bigger companies.” It was. his ability to consistently (14) overcome difficult challenges that led him to win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year that he formed Waysearch, and he has recently signed a deal (15) worth $25 million with a private investment company, which will finance his search engine.

第五篇Traffic in Our Cities

The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk (1) of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to (2) )persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home.

One possible (3) approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by (4)

increasing charges for parking and (5) bringing in tougher fines for anyone who (6) breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, (7) known as "road pricing", is already being introduced in a (8) number of cities, using a special electronic card (9) fixed to the windscreen of the car.

Another way of (10) dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the (11) outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the (12) final stage of their journey.

Of course, the most important (13) thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to (14) give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares (15) kept at an acceptable level.

第六篇Teaching and learning

Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the (1) information__in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination.

Sometimes homework is returned(4) with_ brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is(5) responsible __ for learning the material assigned. When research is(6) assigned ___ , the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with(7) minimum __ guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain(8) how __ a university library works; they expect students(9) particularly ____ graduate students to exhaust the reference(10) _ sources _ in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but(11) prefer that their students should not be (12) too dependent on them. In the United Stats professors have many other duties (13) besides teaching，such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is (14) limited . If a student has problems with classroom work , the student should either (15) _ approach _ a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

*第七篇The Difference between Man and Computer

What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories do n’t yet (1) account__ for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about (2) _ what _____they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand，don't. In fact，computers don't (3) __ even ____ have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer (4) __ program ____is to be a model of story understanding ，it should also read for a "purpose".

Of course ，people have several goals that do not make (5) __ sense ____to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide (6) __ in ____order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to (7) __ find ____a good place to go for a business

While such a goal would not (15) __ arise ____out of hunger in the case of the computer，it might well arise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.

The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791，Count de Sivrac (1) delighted __onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention ，a machine called the celeriferé.

and down the streets.

Minor (9) ___ injuries ___were common as riders attempted a final burst of ( 10 ) ____ speed____ . Controlling the machine was difficult ，as the only way to change (11) __ direction __ was to pull up the front of the "celeriferé" and (12) ___ turn ___it round while the front wheel was (13) ___ spinning __ in the air. "Celeriferés" were not popular for long ，however ，as the (14) ___ combination ___of no springs ，no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable.

+第十三篇The Old Gate

In the Middle Ages the vast majority of European cities had walls around them.

2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译和精析

2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译和精析2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空为读者解释了肢体语言的重要性。这个经常被人们忽视却占据了人们表意的50%的强大语言会在不同文化之间交流时，给人们带来极大的帮助。提醒读者，在生活中要善于利用肢体语言，善于发现肢体语言的作用。 Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 36 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal（非语言）communication takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries 45 touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 - which the Latino will in return regard as 50 . Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 . 2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译： 肢体语言是安静的，秘密的，也是所有语言中最强大的。它远远胜过说出的语言。专家指出，我们的身体发出的信息比我们所了解的更多。事实上，非语言交流占据了我们真正意思的50%。当我们试图跨文化交流时，肢体语言尤为重要。确实，所谓的肢体语言是我们如此大的一部分，而事实上它却经常被忽视。误解也就由此而来。例如，不同的社会对待人与人之间的距离就截然不同。北欧人通常不喜欢身体接触，即便是朋友，所以更不可能跟陌生人。另一方面，拉丁美洲的人身体接触却比较多。因此，在谈话中有可能时一个拉丁人跟着一个挪威人在房间里走动。为了表达友好的拉丁人会一直靠近。而挪威人有可能觉得这种行为非常粗鲁，所以他会一直后退，保持距离—拉丁人会认为这是一种冷漠。 诚然，当人们在交谈时很多事情都在发生。但是，只有很少一部分在语言本身当中。当交谈双方来自不同文化时，误解是极有可能发生的。但是，不管是什么样的情形，最好的建议是遵守这个黄金法则：像你希望被对待的那样对待别人。

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读

2012年近几年高考英语完形填空分析

近几年高考英语完形填空分析 提纲：(一)命题趋势 (二) 完形填空的题型特点及选项设计特点 (三) 完形填空的解题步骤 (四) 突破完形的注意事项及突破 （一）体裁多样化 从图表我们可以看出全国卷的完形填空的体裁多为记叙文、或夹叙夹议。但其他地方说明文也有出现。2008年福建卷、安徽卷2009年上海、重庆、福建卷等就是说明文。2009年甚至还出现了应用文，如安徽卷，即以独特的书信体来命题。 （二）词汇量大幅度增大 从2008年开始，考试说明取消了对完形填空词数的限制。事实上，近两年完形填空所选文章都已超出了原规定200一250的词数限制．大部分篇幅的字数都大约300字。2009年完形填空词量超过300词的有l0套，其中湖南卷更是达到了381个词。2010年山东卷有325个单词，加上选项190个，总共是515词，需要在20分钟内完成。 （三）对词汇的要求提高了 (1)考察基础词汇中一词多义的现象提高了 现在的完形填空题基本上涉及语法问题很少，今年全国卷的完形填空仍然遵循了这一原则。从选项设置的词汇看，基本上都是基础词汇。一般说来，基础词汇的词义容量比较大，但一词多义现象在基础词汇上表现非常明显，这是全国卷今年的完形填空题考察的趋势。 (2)考察多种词义辨析手段 完形填空的考察角度是在文章理解基础上的词义辨析，全国卷的这篇完形填空用到了多种词义辨析手段，如利用构词法中的派生法辨析词义等，这对今后的词汇教学是有启示的。

（3）难度稳中有增。历年英语高考中完形填空是相对难度较大的题目。但多年来其难度一直能够得到较好的控制(一般难度值在0.55-0.6左右，难度略低于整体试卷难度)，但近年来该题的难度值因为加大了词汇量，使长句难句增多，选项中所用词汇更加富有层次、更具有干扰性，因此难度也就自然增大了。 二、（一）完形填空的题型特点近几年来的完形填空题，有以下几个特点： 1. 短文难度基本稳定，与高中英语教材课文难易基本相当。 2. 短文选材一般为故事性文章，采用其他题材的文章还是不具有普遍性。但往往不按时间顺序平铺直叙，有插叙或倒叙，有时还夹有描述和议论。 3. 短文的第一句不设空格，提供给考生一个思路，以便考生做题。 4. 考查内容主要是逻辑上的通顺，极少是考语法，所以每题四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。 5. 短文长度基本稳定，一般都是300多个单词。 （二）完形填空选项设置的几个特点 （2011年全国卷卷完形选项设置）： In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory__36__course about 20 years ago. The professor __37__the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆）, and invited the students to _38_how many beans the jar contained.
