三级完型填空:ClozeTest4(含答案)For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation1.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously2 reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) downthe page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to stretch him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 15 is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 16 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 17 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 18 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 19 the training,now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.He is delighted that how he can 20 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.1.A.applying B.doing C.offering D.getting2.A.quickly B.easily C.roughly D.decidedly3.A.good B.curious C.poor D.urgent4.A.training B.habits C.situations D.custom5.A.lies bines C.touches D.involves6.A.some B.A lot C.little D.dull7.A.Fortunately B.In factC.LogicallyD.Unfortunately8.A.reuse B.reread C.rewrite D.recite9.A.what B.which C.that D.if10.A.scales B.cuts C.slows D.measures11.A.some one B.one C.he D.reader12.A.accelerator B.actor C.amplifier D.observer13.A.then B.as C.beyond D.than14.A.enabling B.leading C.making D.indicating15.A.meaning prehensionC.gist3D.regression16.A.but B.nor C.or D.for17.A.our B.your C.their D.such a18.A.Look at B.Take C.Make D.Consider19.A.for B.in C.after D.before20.A.master B.go over C.presentD.get throughCloze Test 4答案1.【答案】D【解析】本句意思是谁如果想谋得一份差事。

In many ways, this is 1 for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same 2 night after night. One would 3 them to know their parts by heart and 4 have cause to falter(结巴). Yet5 is not always the case.A famous actor in a 6 successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat 7 had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler(监狱长,看守) would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. 8 the noble was expected to read the letter at each 9 , he always insisted that it should be written out in full.One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke 10 his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the 11 of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed (使显露) the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler 12 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the 13 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 14 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 15 to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting (眯着眼看) his eyes, he said, “The light is 16 . Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 17 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied, “The light is indeed dim, sir. I must get my 18 .” With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s 19 , the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the 20 copy of the letter which he proceeded (继续进行)to read to the prisoner.1.A.fortunate B.unfortunate C.happy D.unhappy 2.A.lines B.words C.plays D.roles3.A.want B.ask C.expect D.wish 4.A.always B.never C.sometimes D.often5.A.such B.the thing C.one D.this 6.A.highly B.high C.poorly D.poor 7.A.where B.what C.which D.who 8.A.Because B.Even though C.When D.Though 9.A.play B.performance C.role D.case10.A.with B.in C.on D.to 11.A.pages B.joke C.lines D.contents 12.A.appeared B.desappeared C.came out D.came in 13.A.room B.cell C.stage D.office 14.A.English B.French C.order D.full 15.A.worried B.surprised C.anxious D.afraid 16.A.bright B.dim C.dark D.out17.A.To see B.To find C.Seeing D.Finding 18.A.glasses B.lines C.light D.letters 19.A.surprise B.satisfaction C.anger D.amusement 20.A.usual B.old C.unusual D.newThe annual marathon in my town usually occurred during a heat wave. My job was to 1 behind the runners in an ambulance 2 any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes 3 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.“We’re supposed to stay behind the 4 runner, so take it slowly,”I said to the driver, Doug, as we began to creep forward.“Let’s 5 hope all the runners are fast!”he laughed.As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to 6 . It was then that my 7 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.“Doug, look!”We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and 8 that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon.Doug and I watched in 9 as she slowly moved forward. We didn’t say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to 10 some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more.Finally, she was the 11 runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even reverence(敬意)as she 12 forward with sheer determination through the last miles.When the 13 line came into sight, trash(垃圾)lay everywhere and the 14 crowds had long gone home. 15 ,standing straight and ever so proud waited a man. He was 16 one end of a ribbon of crepe paper tied to a post. 17 slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her.I do not 18 this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life —— a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about 19 the other runners or winning a trophy(奖品), it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter 20 . When I think things are too difficult or too time-consuming, I get those“I-just-can’t-do-it”, I think of the last runner.

Their freighter(货船)was upturned by a storm 21 and their hope, together with their merchandise vanished 22 . He was so upset by the blow that he became 23 and couldn’t 24 concentrate his attention. His 25 who suffered the same catastrophe never lost heart. His days went on as 26 as before. My friend asked him how he could 27 it. He said:” You curse, you grieve, life goes on as usual; you are happy and enjoy yourself, the world 28 as usual. Which course do you follow?”That’s how a person leads his life. When you are optimistic and in a good 29 , your future seems sunny and bright. 30 , when you are worried and have your mind 31 in sadness, your future will turn dark. The latter situation, if you allow it 32 , will cost you a great deal. You will lose 33 and courage to fight for the better. You will 34 the joyful things that come your way. They are really the most important, the most reliable part of links of our life. If they get loose and drop 35 , how can you keep happiness?There’s a poem 36 : “Whether you are 37 or not, whether you like or dislike, show attention or 38 , flowers bloom luxuriously all the same.” Yes, that’s 39 . Just as flowers keep blooming, fine days are passing away day after day. How to spend your days—joyfully or 40 —will entirely depend on yourself.21. A. by the sea B. in the sea C. by sea D. at sea22.

Salome’s 21 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so22 that I decided to write an article about her.I 23 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She 24 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 25 I was lying. I w as not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 26 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 27 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 28 was almost unbearable. I struggled for days 29 draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.It didn’t take long. My ma nuscript 30 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 31 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 32 the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.Five years later, I was moving to California. While 33 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 34 :Ms Profit,Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some 35 materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to 36 your story soon.Shocked, it took me a long time to 37 . Fear of rejection cost me a lot. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of 38 writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this 39 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t 40 to doubt yourself.21.A.joy B.voice C.speech D.smile 22.A.proud B.active C.satisfied D.moved 23.A.visited B.emailed C.phoned D.interviewed 24.A.agreed B.refused C.hesitated D.paused 25.A.replied B.discovered C.explained D.knew 26.A.seriously B.patiently C.nervously D.quietly 27.A.blaming B.fooling C.inviting D.urging 28.A.hardship B.failure C.comment D.pressure 29.A.with B.by C.on D.in 30.A.disappeared B.returned C.spread D.improved 31.A.compare B.struggle C.survive D.compete 32.A.ignore B.deliver C.face D.receive 33.A.decorating B.repairing C.cleaning D.leaving 34.A.disbelief B.anxiety C.horror D.trouble 35.A.subjective B.relevant C.private D.reliable 36.A.broadcast B.create C.publish D.assess 37.A.recover B.prepare C.escape D.concentrate 38.A.energetic B.endless C.typical D.enjoyable 39.A.experience B.success C.benefit D.accident 40.A.attempt B.afford C.expect D.pretend。
