点评 完形填空属"综合能力应用"题型,是高考的必考题型.完形填空在高考试卷中是拉开考生得分的一道关键题型.从近几年高考完形填空题看,纯语法知识几乎不考,主要考查考生灵活运用所学词汇的能力,尤其是以考查实词或信息词为主,着重考查考生对文章的内在逻辑和整体把握能力.因此,把握句间和段落之间的内在逻辑关系,通过上下文暗示,对篇章、段落或句意的整体把握;再则,干扰项的设置与语法结构无甚关系,重在文意干扰.因此,把握文意和具体语境,通过对词义的辨析,是解完形填空的最好手段.
The question above was an example of what scientists call Fermi problem,named
(36)D Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi,who used problems like this to teach his students how to think for themselves.A Fermi problem does not (37)A all the information you need to solve it precisely.
What does this have to do with business or creativity?A great deal.In the real world,we frequently need to make decisions when the(38)C of information does not exist.Most often there may not be the time or the money to make sure of all your(39)D,so your best guess will often be the best you can do.
Fermi is said to have once asked his university students how many piano tuners(调音师)there were in Chicago.To answer the question,he recommended (40)B it down into smaller,more (41)B questions,and then having the (42)A to make some guesses and assumptions.How many people live in Chicago?Three million would be a reasonable estimate.How many people per family?Assume a/an (43)C of four.How many families own pianos?
(44)C one out of three.Then there are about 250,000pianos in Chicago.
(45)D would each be tuned?Maybe once every five years.That (46)B 50,000tunings a year.How many pianos can one tuner tune in a day?Four?And how many in a year?Assuming 250working days,one tuner can(47)A 1,000pianos a year.
So there's work for(48)C 50piano tuners in Chicago--which,as it turns out,is (49)B close to the actual number in the Yellow Pages.
Why was guesswork so accurate?The law of averages is partly (50)D.At any point,your assumptions may be too high or too low.But because of the law of averages,your mistakes,will frequently balance out.

In a village near Nuremberg lived a poor family with eighteen children.Despite their(31)B condition,two of the children had a dream to seek their talent for(32)C,but their father would never be able to send (33)Aof them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
The two boys finally reached an agreement.They would toss (扔) a coin.The (34)Dwould work in the nearby (35)Ato support his brother.Albrecht (36)C the toss and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went into the dangerous mines and,for the next four years,financed his brother,whose work at the academy was almost a(n ) (37)C success.Albecht's woodcut and oil paintings were much (38)A than those of his professors and he soon earned much money (39)D his works.
When the young (40)B returned home,the family held a festive dinner.Albrecht rose to toast(祝酒)to his (41)Cbrother,"Now,Albert,it is your (42)D to seek your dream and I will support you."
Albert sat there,tears streaming down his pale face.He(43)Cand repeated,"No…no."Finally,Albert rose and (44)A the tears from his cheeks.He said softly,"I (45)Bgo to Nuremberg,brother.It is too late for me.Look what four years in the mines have done to my(46)A!My every finger has been badly hurt,and I cannot even hold a glass to (47)D your toast."
After that,to show (48)D for Albert for what he had sacrificed (牺牲),Albrecht drew his brother's rough hands with palms together and the (49)C stretched skyward.He called it"The Praying Hands"and it was a great success.
Today,the masterful works (50)A in a great museum.It is a reminder that no one ever succeeds alone.

Wild camping is not permitted in many places,(42)particularly in crowded lowland Britain.Wherever you are,find out about organizations (43)responsible for managing wild spaces,and (44)contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building.For example,it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,but in England you must ask the landowner's (45)permission,except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation,sleeping outdoors,(46)experiencing bad weather,and making food without modern conveniences.A busy,fully-equipped campsite seems to go against this,so (47)seek out smaller,more remote places with easy (48)access to open spaces and perhaps beaches.Better still,find a campsite with no road access:walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to (49)guarantee a good night's sleep.Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment.Try to use an area where people have (50)obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world.Avoid damaging plants.A good campsite is found,not made-changing it should be unnecessary.
