2014高考英语完形填空巩固练习精品题（21）及答案(2012·银川一中第四次考试)The common cold is the world's most widespread illness，which is a plague that man receives.The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly，with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds，it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated Arctic regions，explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War，soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches，cold and wet，seldom caught colds.In the Second World War，prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp，naked and starved，were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England，volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits，allowed themselves to be with cold water，and then stood about dripping wet in a room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If then，cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds，why are they more frequent in winter？Despite the hardest research，no one has yet found out the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times，and that makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and painkillers such as aspirin，but all that they do is to relieve the symptoms.67．The writer offered ______ examples to support his argument.A．4 B．5 C．6 D．368．Arctic explorers may catch colds when ______.A．they work in the isolated Arctic regionsB．they write reports in terribly cold weatherC．they are free from work in the isolated Arctic regionsD． they come into touch with people with colds from the outside world69．Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit ______.A．suffered a lot B．never caught coldsC．often caught colds D．became very strong70．The passage mainly discusses ______.A．the experiments on the common cold B．the false belief about the common cold C．the reason why people catch colds D．the continued spread of the common cold67．B 通读全文可知，作者共列举了五个例子来证明自己的观点，分别是Eskimos，explorers in isolated Arctic regions，soldiers in the First World War，prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp和volunteers in experiments。

高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（答案及解析）Words：322难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong.Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you getan entrance to another world，” explained the scientists.5．The main subject talked about in this passage is________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．language can help brain powerD．language learning and maths study解析：选C。
