考点:考查故事类完型填空
点评:本文介绍了一个学生通过自己的努力实现人生理想的故事。本文要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知识,这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索,如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章,因此,在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。
Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn't "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 37 than others. I hated going to school and I hated others 38 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing 39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 40 and seeing an ugly hunchback(驼背).
My friends found me 41 because I didn't let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would 43 me. That's when I first heard your voice. "Hi. Can I sit down?"
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face. "What are you looking at?" you asked. "Ants." "What are they doing?" "No 44 ." "I bet they're playing games and make friends. Don't you think so?" That was how our 45 started and it didn't stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(处境)—until it was sunset. Then suddenly, you saw my 46 . She just stared. My heart 47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 48 me now. She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know 49 your back is hunched." I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be 50 . I begged in my heart for her to 51 , but she just kept on going. "I know what you've got there. Do you?" "No," I answered 52 . She bent and whispered in my ears. "Your back is bunched because you've got a pair of wings from the angels."I was 53 . I looked into her eyes and her 54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind_hearted friend.

We are all interested in equality,but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality,others,still in the name of equality,want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils.The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect--but to have no external(外部的)tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards.There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in external examinations or in any contr schools or on teachers.This would mean that everything would depend on luck every pupll would depend on the efficiency(效率),the ideal and the purpose of teacher.
Without external examinations, employers will 1ook for employees from highly respected schools and from families known to them--a form of favoritism will replace equality.At the moment,the bright child from an ill—respected schoo1 can show certificates(证书)to prove he or she is suitable for a job,while the lack of a certificate shows the unsuitability of a dull child attanding a well—respected schoo1.This defence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if external examinations were taken away,and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s fame(名誉),unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored schoo1.
The opponents(对手)of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils.According to these people,there must be no special,different,academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area:all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection.The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.
【小题1】 The word “favoritism” in paragraph 3 is used to decribe the phenomenon that _____.
A.bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs. |
B.Pooor children with certificates are favored in job markets. |
C.Children attending ordinary schools achieve great success. |
D.children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs. |
A.Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation. |
B.Schools for bright children would lose their reputation |
C.There would be more opportunities and excellence. |
D.Children from poor families would be able to change their schools. |
A.Computers should be selected to take over many jobs. |
B.Special classed are necessary to keep the school standards. |
C.Jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection. |
D.Schools with academic subjects should be abolished. |
A. schools and certificates B opportunity and employment
C. examinations and equality D. standards and reputation
Today, innovations(创新) to make our lives more eco-friendly can be found everywhere. There are energy-efficient automobiles, eco-friendly light bulbs, and clothes made by fashion designers using sustainable(可持续的) environmental practices. Industries around the world have also begun to take a serious look at how their operations affect the local and global environment.
The university of Colorado has been named one of the top green colleges and universities in the United States. This university was one of the first to start a student-led recycling program in the 1970s and today supplies students with reusable shopping bags to use both on and off campus. The entire University of Colorado also uses low flow water fixtures(设备) and has reduced water usage by 40 percent since 2002.
When it comes to going green, Warren Wilson College has been recognized in many places. The Sierra Club and The Princeton Review have named the college as one of America’s greenest colleges and universities, while the school has also received the Outstanding College Recycling Award from the Carolina Recycling Association, as well as awards from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education(AASHE). For a small college, Warren Wilson has made enormous efforts to be an eco-friendly campus since its beginning, and today owns a campus farm, a seeding program, and an extensive recycling program. Warren Wilson was also the first College to have an LEED platinum certified(白金认证的) residence hall, and its building services department is also 100 percent GreenSeal certified. According to College Stats, Warren Wilson College is one of the first institutions in the United States to be almost completely self-sufficient(自给自足的) while also engaging students to incorporate sustainability into all academic programs.
Going green efforts at Oberlin College have not gone unnoticed. Oberlin College spends 22 percent of its food budget on buying food from local farmers, with most of the food raised or harvested with organic and sustainable practices. Oberlin has also stopped selling bottled water on campus and offers discounts to students who use their own storage containers when purchasing beverages and food items.
