Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the bodyrecovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!1. A good title for this is ____.A. SleepC. DreamsB. Good HealthD. Work and Rest2. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sickC. asleepB. stand upD. a little sleepy3. This suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you_____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly4. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dreamD. both A and B5. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here四、书面表达：草拟一份中学通知，用一段话说明以下要点：参观日期：5月25日，星期天时间：早上8点钟出发。

In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain (37). In a chain store ask to see the manager.Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in (38) , write a letter. Be sure to（39）to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not (40) with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sureto keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offerto (41) or repair the faulty article. You may find this an (42) solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back , but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some (43) loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for (44) from your Citizens' Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note.In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back--if, for example, he changes an article simplybecause you don't like it or it does not fit.

In this (36), every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.To the professional anthropologist (人类学家), there is no intrinsic(37)of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy(等级制度) among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as (38) and undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the (39) of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or (40 ) structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which（41）the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two thingsare to be noted: 1. All languages seem to (42) the machineryfor vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly (43) and complicated.This study of language, in turn, (44) a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed(45), and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.A. savageB. superiorityC. conceiveD. transferE. identificationF. grammaticalG. reflectH. revealsI. numerous J . independentlyK. exclusive L. casts M. sense N. confidentially O. possess专四完形填空新题型模拟题（3）In the second half of the twentieth century, many countries of the South began to send students to the industrialized countries for further education. They (36) needed supplies of highly trained personnel to (37) a concept of development based on modernization. But many of these students decided to stay on in the developed countries when they had finished their training.In the 1960s, some Latin American countries tried to solve this problem by setting up special "return" programs to encourage their professionals to come back home. These programs received support from international bodies such as the International Organization for Migration, which in 1974enabled over 1,600（38）scientists and technicians to return to Latin America.In the 1980s and 1990s, "temporary return" programs were set up in order to make the best use of trained personnel (39) strategic positions in the developed countries. This gave rise to the United Nations Development Program's Transfer of Knowledge through Expatriate Nationals, which encourages technicians and scientists to work in their own countries for short periods. But the brain drain from these countries maywell increase in (40) to the new laws of the international market in knowledge.Recent studies (41) that the most developed countries are going to need more and more highly qualified professionals around twice as many as their educational systems will be ableto produce, or so it is thought. As a (42) there is an urgent need for developing countries which send students abroad to give (43) to fields where they need competent people to give muscle to their own institutions, instead of encouraging the training of people who may not come back because there are no professional outlets for them. And the countries of the South must not be content with institutional structures that simply take back professionals sent abroad; they must introduce (44) administrative procedures to encourage them to return. If they do not do this, the brain drain is (45) to continue.A. forecastB. flexibleC. neutrallyD. preferenceE. detachF. boundG. implementH. consequenceI. qualifiedJ. dismissingK. result L.occupying M. urgently N . skepticalO . response专四完形填空新题型模拟题（4）Complaints should be made to a responsible person.

They have developed a hitlist of our main fears: natural resources are（1）out the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat species are becoming （2）in vast numbers, and the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more（3） not less so, since the book 'The Limits to Growth' was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more foodis now produced per 4 of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are （5） . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been（6）. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been （7） , or are transient - associated with the early stages of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by（8）it. One form of pollution - therelease of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to（9） a devastating (令人心神不安的) problem. A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction between （10） and reality.A) pose B) exaggerated C) acceleratingD) extinct E) exist F) perceptionG) wealthy H) magnified I) starvingJ) head K) running L) predictedM) abundantN) conceptionO) reducing专四完形填空新题型模拟题（6）During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, migrations have taken place within (11) countries; the cities with their industries have attracted people away from the country. The possibility of earning a fixed (12) in a factory or office wasmore attractive than the possibility of staying on the farm and having one's work (13) by frost, storms, or droughts. Furthermore, thedevelopment of agricultural machinery made it possible for fewer people to do the same (14) of work.Thus, at the same time when the industrial revolution made it possible to produce goods more (15) and more quickly in factories, agricultural revolution also took place. Instead of leaving fields empty every third year, farmers began to plant clover or some other crop that would (16) the soil. Instead of using only animal fertilizer, farmers began to use chemical fertilizers to keep the soil rich. These methods have enabled French farmers, for example, to get five times as much wheat as was (17) from the same land two centuries ago.In many countries farmers find it more (18) to raise only one crop or one kind of animal. They choose the kind that gives the best results. Then they sell all that they produce, instead of trying to grow a little of everything and consume what they grow. This is a more feasible type of (19) because modern methods and machinery are adapted to specific animals and specific crops. Therefore, it would be too expensive to do allthe work by hand, or to buy the (20) needed for several different kinds of farming.A. salary E. deserted I. equivalent M. destroyedB. freely F. operation J. enrich N. certainC. profitable G.amount K. fruitful O. cheaplyD. obtained H. payment L. equipment专四完形填空新题型模拟题（7）Like most parents, geologist Brain Atwater worries about his daughter's safety. But these days, he has an unusual concern; The public school she (11) in Seattle has unreinforced brick walls, a (12) being easy to collapse during earthquakes. The same (13) of walls crushed hundreds of thousands of people during the 1976 Tangshan quake in China.A decade ago, Atwater would have paid little notice to schoolroom walls. But over the last several years, he and other scientists have found (14) signs that the Pacific Northwest hasexperienced giant quakes in the distant past and that the area may be headed for a destructive shock in the near future.At a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in December, researchers discussed the (15) uncovered evidence of quake potential in the Pacific Northwest. While some remain unconvinced that huge earthquakes—with magnitudes of 8 or higher—do indeed (16) this region, a growing number consider such shocks a serious possibility.What's worrisome, they say, is that northwestern cities such as Portland, Seattle and Vancouver have not prepared for earthquakes of this magnitude, which could shake the region's (17) centers with enough force to make the recent San Francisco area damage seem (18) in comparison."I think it's quite true to say that nothing has really been designed with one of these earthquakes in mind," says seismologist Paul Somerville of Woodward. At the meeting, Somerville and his colleagues (19) estimates of the degree of shaking.

There may still be a trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the Middle East. But the oil crisis of 1974 has (11) to renewed interest in coal and to a search for （12） sources of energy. Solar, geothermal, and nuclear energy will play a large role in the years to come.Solar energy is available in （13） forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as （14） , sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electric power can be （15） from thesun-warmed surface waters of the ocean, and lastly, solar radiation can be converted into heat that will drive electric power generators. Serious problems still remain as to （16）and storage of solar energy.Geothermal energy is the energy contained within the earth. Heat is abundantly available deep in the earth's core and is constantly being produced. However, this heat is usually located at too deep a level for （17） exploitation. In short, very little is known on the use of geothermal energy, and it has （18） been exploited.Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear power plants. At these plants atoms of uranium are split, thus （19） masses of energy. Another source of energyunder development is the nuclear fusion of certain atoms of hydrogen. This could eventually （20） natural gas as a source of energy.A. rarelyB.transformationC.fuelD.replaceE. ledF.alternativeG mercial H.briefly I. derivedJ.various K.relieving L.releasingM. transportation N.financial O.described专四完形填空新题型模拟题（9）The economy of the United States after 1952 was the economy of a well-fed, almost fully employed people. Despite （11）alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a （12） of boom. An economic survey of the year 1955, atypical year of the 1950's, may be typical as （13） the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was （14）at 10 percent above that of 1954(1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufactures was about 40 percent more than it had （15） in the years immediately following World War I . The country's business spent about 30 billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income （16） for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day, or about twenty-five million dollars every hour, all round the （17） . Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than twomillion wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture （ 18 ）that it was not sharing in the boom. To some observers this was a sad reflection of the mid-1920's. As farmers' share of their products （19） , marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fearthat the boom could not last long and would（20） lead to the opposite—depression.A. eventuallyB.averagedC.graduallyD.stateE. valuedF.formG.declinedH.occasionalI. casual J.argued K.descended L plainedM. clock N.available O.illustrating专四完形填空新题型模拟题（10）Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now （11） . Just a few years ago, it was （12） impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a （13） of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country.

2)文章短,空白多。

八篇文章平均篇幅长度218个词,空白密度大，语言交流的未知信息多，理解文章的难度就增大，自然也加大了试题的难度。

3)文章题材涉及教育，科技，人文等，其内容和范围能为学生所理解和接受，难度不超过大学英语的实际水平。

4)虽然考试大纲规定：“填空的词项包括结构词和实义词”,然而实考题中选项所涉及的单词主要是实义词(名词、动词、形容词、副词、数词)，不但包括它们的同义词,近义词，还包括词语的搭配，惯用法等，所提供的备选项词性相同。

确定选项时，往往不能仅仅根据一句话的意思，而要结合上下文，甚至在通篇理解的基础上才能确定。

而表示语法关系的结构词(代词、冠词、介词、连词、关系词)及动词的时态，语态等所占比例较些 选择一般受到上下文的严格限定,例如,1998年6月的第71题。

英语四级完形填空答题技巧英语四级完形填空答题技巧【跳读首尾句进行预测】一般来讲，高考完形填空的首、尾句通常是不挖空的。

先跳读这两句，便可判断体裁，猜想它要讲什么。

若首句交代了when, where, who, what，即四个W，那么就是记叙文，很可能就是一个故事，为了测试语篇的理解能力，出题者特别注意选材的趣味性，其结尾往往出人意料，耐人寻味;若首句是提出或解释说明某事物，一般来说是说明文;若首句提出一个论点，那么就是议论文。

首句往往开宗明义，是*的主题。

细读首句可启示全文。

而尾句又往往是对*主题的总结。

所以，它们是了解*大意的一个窗口，对我们理解全文有着重要的启示作用。

因此，要充分利用段首句提供的信息，去挖掘*的思路，寻找*的脉络与线索。

Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist (打击乐器独奏演员) in spite of her disability.*主要讲述的是苏格兰第一位女打击乐器独奏演员Evelyn Glennie在耳聋的情况下成功学习打击乐器的经历。

根据首句给出的信息，下面我们可以猜想Evelyn Glennie学习打击乐器过程必然充满困难，而能够在耳聋的情况下学习打击乐器，Evelyn Glennie对音乐肯定也是充满热情的。
