2014高考英语完形填空巩固练习精品题(22)及答案【福建南安一中2013模拟】BThe hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps (撞) into Julia Roberts and spills (洒) orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.”His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts’ character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishe ar someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.How we use “sorry” has changed. Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation(冲突). For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”.True manners are about being considerate and the modern day obsession with apologizing show that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing…60. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. In fact Roberts are responsible for the collision.B. People from the US say “sorry” more than British people.C. There is no crash happening in the film.D. British people say sorry even if it is not their fault.61. Which of the following might Mark Tyrell agree to?A. British people are sincere while saying sorry.B. Now more British people say sorry because of the British class system.C. British people say sorry to avoid quarrels.D. British people apologize for not working hard.62. What does the author want to tell us with the passage?A. British people overuse “sorry” in daily life.B. British people now say “sorry” in different situations.C. Middle classes in British are to blame for not being working class.D. Britons say “sorry” to avoid confrontation.63. What does the underlined word “collision” in the first paragraph mean?A. quarrelB. disagreementC. crashD. fight【参考答案】60—63、DBAC第三部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A(2012·河北普通高中教学质检)In an ideal world,people would not test medicines on animals.Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals,and expensive and time­consuming for people.Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge.That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.Europe,on the whole,has the world's most restrictive laws on animal experiments.Even so,its scientists use some 12 million animals a year,most of them mice and rats,for medical research.Official statistics show that just 1.1 millionanimals are used in research in America each year.But that is misleading.The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and,as these are the most common laboratory animals,the true figure is much higher.Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs.Alternatives to animal testing,such as using human tissue or computer models,are now strongly recommended.In addition,sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.At present,scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested,the work never sees the light of day.This practice means wasting time,money,and animals' lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives.It needs to continue,even if that means animals sometimes suffer.Europe's new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.56.What is the main idea of this passage?A.The success of animal experiments should be ensured.B.A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.C.Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.D.Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.57.Which of the following statements is TRUE about animals used in the lab?A.America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.B.Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.C.Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.D.Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.58.Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?A.Statistical studies. B.Computer models.C.DNA planted in animals. D.Tissue from dead animals.59.What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?A.They are not revealed to the public.B.They are made into teaching materials.C.They are collected for future publication.D.They are not removed from the research topic list.56.C 文章第一段指出用动物进行试验难以杜绝的原因,第二段提到欧洲对动物试验的法律限制的效果并不理想,第三段讲了欧洲为限制动物试验所作的努力,最后一段提到欧洲的新措施应该既要减少用于试验的动物的数量,又要改善科学研究的方法,所以C项最能概括文章大意。
