河北省专接本英语-完型填空历年真题-最新题型河北省专接本英语考试完型填空已经在今年改革了,原来的真题有二十个空的,有十五个空的,现在全部改成了十个空,然而很多接本历年真题的书里面还都是老题型,因此亮亮哥花了一些时间,把近十年的历年真题都过了一遍,都改成了改革后的题型,方便大家备考。
在备考的过程中,很多考生的复习特别盲目。
不知道如何备考。
背了一些单词,很快就忘记,做了真题对对答案就草草了事,这样即使做了很多的题,感觉还是没有显著的提高,换一篇新文章,该不认识的还是不认识。
其实我们对待真题的态度应该改变一下,不能像对待模拟题一样,做完了就对答案,看看正确与否就不管了。
真题的作用应该有两个,一个是透过真题,熟悉出题人的出题套路和提炼解题思路,另一个是在练习真题的过程中,从真题中不断熟悉并吸收我们不认识的词汇,因为真题中的词汇是最有代表性的,并且真题为我们提供了一个语境,比我们每天独立的去背十个八个的词汇书上的单词效果要好太多。
在有语境的情况下,词汇更容易复习,不会那么轻易忘记,用这种方法,甚至不用单独去背诵那些词汇书了,在反复刷真题的过程中,不认识的词汇慢慢就熟悉了,变成我们自己的词汇积累。
所以我设计这个册子的目的是,一个是用来熟悉单词,一个是用来了解出题人的套路,达到快速解题的目的。
等你刷完了这个册子,解题技巧也有了,还吸收了不少的词汇。
词汇是英语学习过程中一切问题的根源。
接下来我还要做一个阅读理解题的册子。
这个册子的使用步骤应该是,第一步,从真题文章中里整理出所有不认识的词汇;第二步,在熟悉真题词汇后,开始研读真题,熟悉出题人的套路,探寻解题思路;第三步,不定期的通过翻译真题文章的各段落,来复习巩固你所背诵的单词。

Reading comprehension (60 points )Directions: There are five reading passages in this each passage is followed by four questions.

Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFor generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean therainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (气象学家).“Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle clim ate change.”Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,”says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,”says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologistsA. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages.B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems.B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature.C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya.D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project.Passage TwoAfter taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office.“If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,”says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analystJon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave,”recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.”“No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分心的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design?A. It hires women with families.B. It has some overseas branches.C. It provide consulting services.D. It encourages the staff to work at home.41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment.43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage?A. A Flexible Working ScheduleB. A staff shortage in Maya DesignC. A Pittsburgh-based Working PlaceD. A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owlsB. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchersC. The snowy owl is a large bird with white feathersD. It is easy to find snowy owls in snow covered areas45、What does Paragraph 3 tell about snowy owls?A. The can be found in Asia and EuropeB. They live in groups in hard winter daysC. Their breeding grounds are in areas south to CanadaD. They appear in the Artic when food supplies are scarce46、For snowy owls, one way to defend their nest is _____A. to stand on a rock nearbyB. to pretend to have been injuredC. to spread their wingsD. to give a warning47、What will snowy owls probably do when food is insufficient?A. They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing( 令人舒畅的) , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how “relaxed”and “natural”he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley wasload and vulgar( 粗俗的) ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination (particularly to jobs) and to inform the public. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither “strange” nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive( 冲动的) than right-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering( 口吃) and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV.

It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee.When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he‟d started to eat my chocolate!Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn‟t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn‟t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” and I got it.The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There‟s something wrong with this woman!” Everybody looked at me, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and ready to leave. My face turned red when I knew I‟d made a mistake. It wasn‟t my chocolate that I had been eating. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.81.A self-service shop may be a place where you __________ .A. can buy what you want at the lowest priceB. can get everything you want free of chargeC. have to get what you want all by yourselfD. may find the waitresses there only serve themselves82.From the description of the boy by the writer, we know that the writer ______________ .A. enjoyed very much the way he was decked outB. disliked the way he was decked out and expressed her dissatisfactionC. somewhat disliked the way he was decked out but already got used to itD. was fond of the way he was decked out83.What made the author surprised when she returned to her seat?A.

Fire!” what terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a stran ge house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old wooden house----the sort that burn beautifully-----and my room was on the floor. I jumped out of the bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air out side, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry.I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a nightdress and a borrowed man‟s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowd cheered wide ly as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was the Mayor‟s wife, and I have saved her baby.

It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along the seafront (滨海马路) for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on hisexcellent cooking.I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction.When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant over and asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we know you here, I was able to convince him that he had made a mistake.” “It‟s lucky I came to a restaurant where I am known,” I said, “otherwise I might have been arrested!”91.When the author got to his favorite restaurant, it was ___________ .A. already nine o‟clockB. eight o‟clock on the do tC. about two minutes past eightD. slightly later than eight o‟clock92.The man sitting at the corner table near the door kept glancing in the direction of the author because he was __________________ .A. interested in the personality of the authorB. making a study of the authorC. looking up and down the authorD. keeping a lookout over the author93.The author was followed by the detective probably because he ___________ .A. took after a suspectB. was similar to a criminal in personalityC. was an accompliceD. looked like a murderer94.The detective had a newspaper open in front of him in order to ____________ .A. read it in detailB. cover up what he was really doing thereC. have it recheckedD. wait for his food95.According to the text, if the author had been a stranger in the restaurant, he would have been ____________________.A. taken to courtB. followedC. capturedD. sentenced to a few years‟ imprisonmentPassage DAt Harton College---an English boarding school for boys---there are many rules. Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules.The boys can go into town in the afternoon after classes. But they must return to the school at six o‟clock. One afternoon B ob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film he looked at his watch. It was after eight o‟clock. He was a little worried.He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He looked up at the window of his dormitory. It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he went round the school building to another door. That one was locked too. He couldn‟t climb up the wall very easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster‟s study.He looked into the room-----no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill (窗台) and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then some one turned on a light in the corridor. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He could not move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster‟s shoes and socks for an hour.“Why doesn‟t he get up and go to bed?” he thought.Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.“Thank heavens, he didn‟t find me under the sofa!” thought Bob.Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa. “Would you turn off the light when you leave?” he said and left the study.96.According to the passage, it is required that students of Harton College _________ .A. come back to the college at six o‟clock if they go to town after classesB. may stay out until midnight if they likeC. should leave school when class is overD. may do whatever they like97.When Bob realized it was too late to return to Harton College as required, it was already ___________ .A. 8:00B. 9:00C. later than 8:00D. midnight98.Bob stole into the courtyard of his college by means of ________ .A. the main entranceB. going around the school building to another doorC. jumping over the wallD. climbing into the window of his headmaster‟s study99.Bob hid himself under the sofa probably because he was afraid of ______________ .A. being punished for his theftB. being found to have returned lateC. being dismissed for his wrongdoingD. being capture alive on the spot100.In the light of what his headmaster said towards the sofa, it can be safely concluded that the headmaster had already ________________ .A. excused BobB. forgiven BobC. found Bob hiding under the sofaD. punished BobV.
