高中完型填空专项训练附答案1.When I was a teenager I was in a group of students who took a trip to Pittsburgh. Being a country boy, I found it 1 just being in such a big city. While most of the students headed for the mall then I decided to tour the streets 2 .It was almost Christmastime and the store windows were filled with 3 displays. I bought several cinnamon sticks(肉桂棒) to ward off (挡住) the 4 while walking and looking at the sights.At some point, 5 ,the stores became less and less and the bars became more and more. I realized I had crossed into a not so 6 section of town. I saw a small bus stop and decided to sit and take a rest before walking back. The bus stop was just in front of a 7 store and before long an old woman in an old coat came out. She was carrying two large 8 in one hand. Her other hand held a cane that steadied her slow, 9 walk. Her young, dark-haired granddaughter clutched her coat as they 10 their way to the bench.I 11 at them both and we talked a bit about how cold it was before the bus 12 .When it arrived I picked up the old lady’s bags and carried them up the steps. Then I helped her granddaughter up while the lady slowly climbed on behind us I pulled out my 13 cinnamon stick and gave it to the sweet girl while her grandma smiled her 14 to me. I got off the bus and looked up to the window where the little, curly-haired Child of God was waving goodbye to me. Then I started back to meet the other students a little 15 at heart if not in body. As I was 16 the corner, though, a voice called out from an alley. “Hey man! Want to get 17 ?” I smiled and said. “No thanks. I 18 got. ”No drug in the world can ever 19 the high that comes from one 20 act, one shared laugh, one second of giving love.1.A.disappointing B.exciting C.confusingD.frightening2.A.once B.forever C.still D.alone3.A.beautiful B.expensive C.bright D.common4.A.snow B.rain C.cold D.sun5.A.again B.besides C.therefore D.however6.A.good B.safe C.wide D.healthy7.A.book B.grocery C.jewellery D.clothing8.A.purses B.boxes C.bags D.baskets9.A.shaky B.steady C.short D.light10.A.found B.pushed C.felt D.made11.A.laughed B.smiled C.stared D.glanced12.A.pulled off B.pulled away C.pulled up D.pulled on13.A.other B.first C.only D.last14.A.thanks B.goodbye C.greetings D.concerns15.A.darker B.heavier C.warmer D.faster16.A.overlooking B.turning C.passing D.entering 17.A.curiosity B.courage C.fun D.high18.A.already B.always C.never D.almost19.A.stop B.Remove C.match D.speed20.A.honest B.kind C.brave D.generous参考答案1.B2.D3.A4.C5.D6.A7.B8.C9.A10.D11.B12.C13.D14.A15.C16.B17.D18.A19.C20.B2.Honest ThanksI sat down at my desk and started writing. I wrote an emotional letter of gratitude. I put the notecard into the 1 , sealed it and stuck the stamps on it, but when it came to actually placing the letter into the mailbox ...I 2 .The letter was to a schoolmate with whom I kept in contact via Facebook 3 . She had inspired me to live a(n) 4 life — for example, by 5 more.Her volunteer efforts weren't 6 — she wasn't building wells in Uganda, but 7 she was doing small, local good deeds, such as serving as a crossing guard. These were things I could do, too. She made me 8 I could make a difference here at home. I felt I should let her know how her 9 positively influenced my life. I could have easily sent her an email, 10 that seemed abit lame for such an important thank you. That's why I ended up 11 the letter. But now I stood before the mailbox, unable to place the envelope inside. What was 12 me? Why was this so 13 to do? I guess I felt strange because it wasn't like she was my best friend. I just knew her. “People don't 14 do this,” I though t to myself. However, 15 thinking it over, I still felt a(n) 16 to let her know how grateful I was. Finally, I put the envelope in the mailbox.Weeks later I received her reply. She was 17 a tough time and my letter meant the 18 to her. She didn't know she had such a(n) 19 on others. Not only did this letter make her happy, but her response to it increased my 20 of happiness. I decided to write a gratitude letter to someone each month.

According to Alex Honnold, who is known internationally for free soloing (自由单人攀登), it’s no big 1 ! But many people in the climbing group disagree. In fact, free soloing is so 2 that less than one percent of climbers ever 3 it.Honnold grew up in California around a climbing culture and started climbing at 10. He 4 going to a climbing gym six days a week for three hours a day. Honnold was a straight-A studentin school.

He is 7 by many to he the best climber in the world. 8 climber John Long says over half of the famous free solo climbers are dead. According to him, Honnold’ greatest achievement is that he’s still 9 .Honnold climbs by filling his fingers into the cracks of the rock face. With most of his 10 supported by his fingers alone,he 11 himself up . What’s more, his ability to stay focused is as 12 as his strength.Other climbers agree that the fear of climbing without a 13 is a huge challenge to overcome. Everyone knows that a single 14 would probably be a deadly one.One of his greatest achievements 15 in California’s Yosemite National Park. He became the first free solo climber to 16 the 2,000-foot northwest face of Half Dome. This and other climbs have made him famous, but along with 17 comes lots of criticism. Many blame (责备) him for taking too many 18 . Honnold responds by saying, “I don’t think I’ll do this forever. But I don’t think I’ll stop 19 the risk. I’ll stop because I lose the love for it.” For now he’s 20 to follow his passion and climbing to new heights.1.A.success B.deal C.behavior D.performance2.A.exciting B.impressive C.dangerous D.secure3.A.tried B.selected C.managed D.admitted4.A.gave up B.thought of C.insisted on D.dreamt of5.A.interest B.request C.problem D.adventure 6.A.Since B.Before C.after D.When 7.A.inspired B.considered C.supported D.celebrated 8.A.Confused B.Disappointed C.Fresh D.Experienced 9.A.alive B.struggling C.alone D.working 10.A.strength B.weight C.pressure D.burden 11.A.pushes B.sends C.picks D.pulls 12.A.important B.powerful C.energetic D.determined 13.A.rest B.tool C.rope D.goal 14.A.stop B.mistake C.stone D.step 15.A.ended B.existed C.settled D.happened 16.A.climb B.challenge C.choose D.explore 17.A.surprise B.pain C.praise D.failure 18.A.awards B.honors C.prizes D.risks 19.A.because of B.thanks to C.except forD.according to20.A.expecting B.continuing C.volunteering D.determining【答案】1.B2.C3.A4.C5.A6.A7.B8.D9.A10.B11.D12.A13.C14.B15.D16.A17.C18.D19.A20.B4.Eric Moussambani, a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea, won brief international fame at Sydney’s 2000 Olympic Games for an extremely unlikely victory.Twelve months before the Olympics, Moussambani had never gone outside of his home country, an extremely poor tiny African nation.

It has become a big part of my identity as an adult and shaped 2 I see the world and myself.My first 3 of this amazing life was when I was 19 years old. I was 4 among a small group of college classmates to spend a year abroad. This was long before people could travel the world 5 through social media like Facebook, Instagram and Weibo. In order to see a place, you had to go there and 6 it firsthand.Living abroad can be exciting. I thought it would be 7 because I spoke the language, but I enjoyed the little differences between the British and American culture and language. For instance, instead of 8 the British called it “rubbish”; instead of favor they spelled it “favour”.But there were also 9 that year too. One of my classes was called “Europe Since 1870”. In the U.S., I would have expected an introductory history class, but in England, I was 10 o have already known the history; now was the time to analyze it.

I know now that I was thrown into the deep 12 , in a completely different and far more challenging environment, and it was natural that I wouldn’t understand everything easily. Despite this, I don’t 13 anything about my time in London. Even 14 painful experiences, we learn to grow.15 the difficult times made me sad and homesick. But luckily that was not as important as the amazing experience I had getting to know people from all over the world. I met dozens of interesting people from places like France, Greece and Germany in Europe, to Rwanda. Palestine and Australia. Learning how to make friends with people from different cultures and backgrounds was really fun, and these new friends helped put a(n) 16 to the countries they represented (代表).As I finished the 17 year, I was torn inside about leaving London after such a life-changing experience.I learned so much about myself as a young woman and a(n) 18 . When I 19 to my college for my final year, friends and professors saw a(n) 20 me. I had more maturity and self-awareness that I hadn’t had before.
