点评 完形填空是考查英语语言的应用能力．解题时，要着眼全篇，注意上下文的联系和语境．对于故事类的文章，情节性较强，在选择时，更多的要考虑文章作者的叙述方法，站在作者的立场，身临其境．这样才能作出最符合作者原意的选项，切不可拘泥于语言点本身，不顾语境．

2．Let children learn to judge their own work．A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time； if corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use．Bit by bit，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．In the same way，children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk，run，climb，whistle，ride a bicycle…They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the needed changes．But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself．We do it all for him．We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake．If it is a matter in mathematics or science，give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time in such routine（日常的） work？Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn，how to measure their own understanding，how to know what he does not know．

19．About this time every year，I get very nostalgic（怀旧的）．Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air，children playing games on a hill，and throwing leaves around in the street below．I was one of those children，carefree and happy．I live on a street that is only one block long．I have lived on the same street for sixteen years．I love my street．One side has six houses on it，and the other has only two houses，with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end．When I think of home，I think of my street．Only I see it as it was before．Unfortunately things change．One day，not long ago，I looked around and saw how different everything has become．Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old，friends are growing up and leaving，and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors．
It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and won't be around much longer．I have fond memories of the couple across the street，who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening，the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud，and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car．In contrast to those people，the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days．The man in the black suit says he wants to die，and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home．The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more，and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days．It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever．
The"comings and goings"of the younger generation of my street are now mostly"goings"as friends and peers move on．Once upon a time，my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home．The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street．We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle．Things are different now，as my friends become adults and move on．Children who rode tricycles now drive cars．The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways．Some have gone away to college like me，a few got married，two went into the army，and one went to prison．Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days．
Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for now homes．For sixteen years，the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill．The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life； it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street．We spent hours there building forts，sledding，and playing tag．The view out of my kitchen window now is very different； it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill．When the hill goes，the neighborhood will not be the same．It is a piece of my childhood．It is a visual reminder of being a kid．Without the hill，my street will be just another pea in the pod．
There was a time when my street was my world，and I thought my world would never change．But something happened．People grow up，and people grow old．Places changes，and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved．In a year or so，I will be gone just like many of my neighbors．I will always look back to my years as a child，but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction．It will be the happy，noisy，somewhat strange，but wonderful street I knew as a child．
32．The writer finds it hard to accept the fact thatA．
A．many of his good neighbors are growing old
B．the lady next door who used to yell at him and his brother is now a widow
C．the life of his neighbors has become very boring
D．the man in his black suit even wanted to end his own life

A．removing the hill to make way for residential development

B．Unforgettable People and Things of My Street
C．Memory Street Isn't What It Used to Be

6．Why do people drink too much，eat too much，smoke cigarettes or take drugs？What's to blame for all the bad behavior？Most people would say that，while these self-destructive （自我毁灭的） acts can have many root causes，they all have one obvious thing in common：they are all examples of failures of self-control，lacking the will power to resist（抵抗） them．
According to a recent study，however，if you really think about it，something about that simple answer doesn't quite make sense．In fact，it turns out that sometimes it's having will power that really gets you into trouble．
Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer．Disgusting，wasn't it？When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager，I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it．And smoking？No one enjoys their first cigarette-it tastes awful．So even though smoking，and drinking alcohol or coffee，can become temptation （诱惑） you need will power to resist，they never，ever start out that way．
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control．Ironically （讽刺的是），only those who can control themselves well，rather than give in to them，can ever come to someday develop a"taste"for Budweiser beer，Marlboro cigarettes，or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee．We do it for social acceptance．We force ourselves to consume alcohol，cigarettes，coffee and even illegal drugs，in order to seem experienced，grown-up，and cool．
These bad habits aren't self-control failures-far from it．They are voluntary choices，and they are in fact self-control successes．Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use，helpful or harmful．To live happy and productive lives，we need to develop not only our self-control，but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it．

28．What do most people think causes bad behavior？B．

B．Not having enough will power．

16．While being lost in the woods can be a frightening experience，surviving alone in the wild is generally a matter of common sense，patience，and wisely using the gifts that nature provides．（36）D．
Do your research first．Don't just trek off into the wilderness； get a solid understanding of your surroundings first．Studying a map of the area where you're going--and making sure to bring it with you--will increase your chances of not getting lost tremendously．Educate yourself about the flora and fauna of the area you are exploring．（37）C．
（38）A．A cell phone with a spare battery or a portable CB radio can be your best，quickest means of rescue if you are truly lost or injured．A cell signal may only be obtainable only from a hill or tree，but is better than nothing．Serious hikers may even consider investing in a personal locator beacon such as the SPOT Messenger for extended，precarious，or very remote，treks．
Don't panic if you're lost．Panic is more dangerous than almost anything else，because it interferes with the operation of your single best，most useful and versatile survival tool：your mind．The moment you realize that you are lost，before you do anything else，stop．（39）F．Before you act，follow the idea of STOP：S=sit down T=think　O=observe your surroundings P=prepare for survival by gathering materials．
Signal your location．Make noise by whistling，shouting，singing，or banging rocks together．（40）B．If you're in a mountain meadow，make three piles of dark leaves or branches in a triangle．In sandy areas，make a large triangle in the sand．Three of anything in the wilderness is a standard distress signal． 

A．Bring a means of communication．
B．If you can，mark your location in such a way that it's visible from the air．
C．Knowledge of the local plants and animals can save your life 
D．If you want to know how to survive in the woods，just follow these steps．
E．Starvation won't be a big problem．
F．Take a deep breath and stay calm．
G．Having strength in numbers will help you survive．
3．There is an old Spanish Proverb which states，"Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week"．（36）EI'd say，too many．Our dreams should not，and cannot wait．We have to go for them now!Here's why．
1．（37）BNobody likes to talk about death，but the reality is-everybody is going to die at one point．None of us know the day，or the hour．Therefore，today is all we have．Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams．Make the decision to go after every dream，big or small right now．
2．The world is waiting on your gift
I know this may be hard to believe，but the world is waiting on YOU!Yes，YOU!（38）GSure，other people may be able to sing．But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you．Sure other people can write，but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write．Don't deprive the world of your gift．
It's the oxygen that we need to survive．Thus，it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is，and use to better your life and the lives of those around you．
3．（39）F
You can dream about writing the great American play that you want，but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper．You can dream about finding a cure for cancer，but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure．（40）CThey require you to get your head out of the clouds，and actually do the work to make them happen．Get to it!

A．You can't let fear win．
B．Tomorrow is not promised．
C．In other words，dreams don't work unless you do．
D．Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you
E．How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow？
F．Unless you take the first step，your dreams will never come true．
G．You were born into the world with a unique gift，which nobody on this earth can copy．
20．Everywhere in the world，people are living longer．（36）FBy the year 2050．about two billion people will be aged 60 or older．And the number of people 80 years or older will have almost reached to 395 million．
The WHO says governments must prepare now to deal with an increasingly aging world．As people age，they may develop long-term health problems．These disorders may affect their quality of life and create problems for society and health care systems．（37）EThe responsibility of caring for an older person often falls on family members．And this can create difficulties．
In 2050，China will be the country with the largest population aged 80 years or over with 90 million．India will come in second with 37 Million．（38）Other countries with the largest populations of the 80 and older crowd will be Japan，Brazil，Germany，France，Italy，Britain and the Russian Federation．
（39）GThe U．S．is far behind other English-speaking countries in giving families support for caring for sick and aging family members．
There are cultural differences in care-giving．In some cultures，it is the family's responsibility to care for aging family members．In India，there are so many middle-class Indian people who have moved to Australia or the U．K．or the U．S．and the parents are still living back in India．（40）AThey have never even known what the word"caregiver"is because it's just what they did．

A．They just send money back．
B．And the U．S．will be third with 32 million．
C．People have realized the value of aging people．
D．It is the governments'duty to take good care of old people．
E．Caring for an aging population takes both time and money．
F．Studies show the average age of the human population is rising．
G．Caring for the elderly in the U．S．falls behind other English-speaking countries．

I'm writing to ask you for advices．This is a secret，so please not tell anybody else．My cousin and I used to be good friend，and I used to get along very well with him．We were planning to spend part of our time together，and now I don't want to inviting him home at all．Recently，I've discovered that he's been started to tell lies．When I told her that it was wrong to tell lies，he just laughed to me．Now should I tell his parent or should I keep quietly？
