【考情链接】
上海高考英语完形填空体裁议论文、说明文为主,夹叙夹议文次之,文章选材颇具哲理性,可读性较强。在语言结构方面,长难句较多,逻辑思辨能力强,理解难度较大,在选项词性上以实词为主,其中动词、名词会占半壁江山,虚词几乎不会考查,特别注重对文章上下文语境的理解把握。考点设置上,句内层次题(答案由设空所在句子决定,多凭句子本身可知答案)和句组层次题(答案由设空临近句子决定,需前后寻找信息或暗示)所占比重较大,语篇层次题(答案中整篇文章的内涵决定,需统揽全局)考查难度较大。主要考察动词、名词、形容词、副词。偶尔会有过渡词、介词短语、动词短语、连词等。
【要点梳理】
解题关键(首逻修词情)
一、文章句首
完形填空首句甚至前几句话往往是完整的信息,为考生提供足够的信息去了解文章的总体思路,这里信息可以帮助考生判断全文大意甚至全文主题。
二、逻辑关系
完形填空中的每一个空格并非孤立存在的,命题者必须通过上下文给出某种线索来保证空格所填答案的唯一性,而这一线索即是上下文乃至全文的逻辑关系。命题者往往借助连词或介词短语来设置选项。
三、修辞
1.排比结构
“排比结构”指的是结构相同或相似、意思密切关联、语法一致的句子或词组成串排列的语言现象。命题者常从排比结构的句式相同或相似这一角度,利用其表现意义的关联或对比这一特点来设空。
2.对比结构
对比结构常把两种对立的事物或同一事物的两个不同方面并列出来加以比较或对比。高考完形填空设题常常利用不同句子之间的对比关系或者同一个句子中不同部分之间的对比关系。
四、词汇语境
1.词汇复现
词汇复现使得语篇中的句子相互衔接和连贯,从而构成一个完整和有机的意义整体。根据这一原则,某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现的相关词,考生可以根据这些词来决定答案。
2.词汇差异
高考完形填空主要考查实义词,一定要结合上下文内容,根据句意进行判断。有时从单句看,似乎不止一个答案,必须结合上下文在含义和用法等多方面加以考虑才能作出选择。
五、情感态度
做完形填空时,应在弄清作者思路的基础上,着重寻找反映褒贬态度的标志性词汇或句子。我们有时候可以根据作者对人物或事情的态度来排除干扰,进行正确的选择。

【长难句解析】
1.Doctors are scientists who operate in a world of statistics, odds and probability. Yet they’ve long been taught that when dealing with patients they should convey a reassuring level of confidence and certainty.
【译文】医生是科学家,他们的工作离不开数据、机率和概率。然而长期以来,他们被教导说,与病人打交道时,他们应该传递令人信服的自信和确定性。
Operate这里应理解为“工作”; reassuring令人信服的、可靠的。
2. (41) As a result, patients expect their doctors to give them a clear diagnosis and a straightforward course of treatment.
【译文】因此,病人期待医生给他们一个清晰的诊断和直接的治疗过程。
3. But now that information about every medical condition imaginable is just a few clicks away experts are asking whether doctors' apparent (42) certainty when communicating with their patients actually does more harm than good.
【译文】但是,现在只要轻点鼠标、就能了解到各种病情信息,鉴于此,专家们质疑:与病人沟通时,医生给出的确定性实际上是否弊大于利。
Now that因为、鉴于;every…imaginable各种、全部的、所能想到的。
4.With the information overload brought by the progress of medicine and technology answers are(43) rarely black or white. Medical schools are only just starting to teach doctors how to deal with this, and patients' expectations haven't (44) adjusted either.
【译文】随着医学和技术进步所带来的信息过载,答案很少非黑即白。医学院正在开始教医生如何处理这个问题,而病人的期望也还没有能适应(这一变化趋势)。
With…brought复合结构“随着/在……”;
5. “Medicine has always fallen short of the sort of certainty that we find in math and geometry”, says Dr. Ross Upshur, a researcher at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in Toronto. “If you think about knowledge and what it does, it’s about (45) limiting uncertainty, not about creating certainty. ”
【译文】"医学总是达不到我们在数学和几何学中发现的那种确定性",多伦多达拉拉纳公共卫生学院的研究员罗斯-厄普舒尔博士说。"如果你考虑到知识和它的作用,它是关于限制不确定性,而不是创造确定性。"
fallen short of达不到、缺少。
6.Doctors in training, like gamblers, need to be (46) accustomed to working in a field in which they’re constantly weighing the odds based on countless factors. When Upshur teaches medical students how to diagnose a disease, he tells them to (47) broaden their inquiry ---- come up with a list of possibilities, rather than quickly home in on a single solution.
【译文】接受培训的医生就像赌徒一样,需要习惯于在这个领域工作,在这个领域中,他们不断地根据无数的因素来衡量赔率。当Upshur教授医学生如何诊断一种疾病时,他告诉他们要扩大调查范围----提出一个可能性的清单,而不是迅速归纳出一个单一的解决方案。
Weigh掂量、权衡;home in on对准、指向。
7.“Even when you make a diagnosis that you think is firm, you usually don’t have certainty about what would be the best (48) cure and what the outcomes will be in the long run.”
【译文】"即使你做出了一个你认为是确定的诊断,你通常也不能确定什么是最好的治疗方法,以及从长远来看,结果会是什么。"
In the long run长期来看。
8.(9) Technology has helped(49) redefine the quest for certainty. We are reaching a point where we can feed a list of symptoms into a computer and get a more (50) accurate diagnosis than from a doctor. Dr. Richard Schwartzstein, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, sees such developments as both a/an (51) challenge and an opportunity. On one hand, he says, “technology tries to push you to a/an (52) maximal level of certainty. Do this test to get a 99 percent level of certainty that you have this disease. ”
【译文】技术已经帮助我们重新定义了对确定性的追求。我们正在达到这样一个地步:我们可以把症状清单输入计算机,得到比医生更准确的诊断。哈佛医学院医学教授理查德-施瓦茨坦博士认为这种发展既是挑战也是机遇。他说,一方面,"技术试图把你推到一个最大的确定性水平。做这个测试可以得到99%的确定性:你有这个疾病。"
Redefine重新定义;reaching a point where达到某个……的程度。
9. On the other hand, computers can’t (53) communicate a diagnosis or a treatment to patients in a comforting way. Take a routine screening test for early-stage lung cancer. Based on your age, your smoking status, and your gender, a computer can do a great job of evaluating the chances of finding a cancerous nodule (癌症结节).
【译文】另一方面,计算机不能以安慰的方式向病人传达诊断或治疗。以早期肺癌的常规筛查测试为例。根据你的年龄、吸烟状况和性别,计算机可以很好地评估发现癌症结节的几率。
a routine screening test定期筛查。
10. It can also (54) calculate quite precisely the risk of developing an actual cancer based on the size and shape of a nodule. What it can’t do, (55) however, is decide how to break the news that you have a nodule in your lung that has a 1 percent chance of becoming a cancer.
【译文】它还可以根据结节的大小和形状,相当精确地计算出发展为实际癌症的风险。然而,它不能做的是决定如何告诉你,你的肺部有一个结节,有1%的机会成为癌症。
developing 患上某种疾病;break the news爆料、告诉实情。

Child developmental psychologist Jean Piaget convinced us that young, undeveloped minds couldn’t handle complex concepts because they simply weren’t experienced or mature enough yet. Piaget, ____41____, believed that young kids could not understand cause and effect, that they couldn’t think logically, and that they also couldn’t handle abstract ideas.
But child development specialists are finding out that preschoolers without any formal education may have the capacity to understand more complex concepts than we give them ____42____ for.
Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology at University of California Berkeley and her team devised a way to test how well young kids understand the abstract concept of ____43____ cause and effect—the idea that there may be more than one cause for a single effect. They picked preschoolers around 4 years old ____44____ undergraduates. The study ____45____ a toy that could be turned on by placing a single blue colored block on the toy’s tray, but could also be activated if two blocks-orange and purple-were placed on the tray.
The preschoolers were expert at ____46____ that the blue blocks turned on the toy, as did the purple and orange ones, but that the purple and orange ones needed to be paired together. The undergraduates, however, had a ____47____ time accepting the latter solution. Their previous experience in the world hampered their ability to accept the unusual rules that ____48____ the toy.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University found a similar effect among preschoolers when it came to math. Previous studies showed that if you present infants with eight objects over and over until they got bored, and then showed them 16, they suddenly ____49____ interest and sensed that things change. Even before they are taught about numbers or amounts, then, infants seem to have a grasp on quantity. “All the evidence so far leads us to believe that this is something that babies come into the world with,” says Melissa Kibbe, co-author of that study. According to her research, the preschoolers had some _____50_____ of quantity, and the appropriate amount that they needed to get from a small quantity to a larger one.
Kibbe’s and Gopnik’s recent work may have broader _____51_____ for education, since current math curricula in schools may not be ideal for _____52_____ the number sense that kids are born with. “There’s an exciting movement in psychology over the past decade, as we learn that students bring certain capabilities, or inborn knowledge that we hadn’t thought they had before,” says Jon Star, at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.
Though it may be too early to _____53_____ such findings to the classroom, the results lay the ground work for studying similar inborn skills and how they might be better understood. “The hard part is, _____54_____, how you build up and upon this intuitive knowledge in a way that allows a child to capture the complexity but not hold them back.” says Tina Grotzer, associate professor of education at Harvard. Taking advantage of a child’s still developing sense of numbers and quantities is one thing, but _____55_____ it with too many new constructs about algebra, unknowns, and problem solving may just end up negatively affecting his learning and academic performance. “As soon as concepts get big and complex, there are all sorts of perceptual, attentional, and cognitive costs and challenges involved,” she says.
41. A. in fact B. in particular C. in contrast D. in comparison
42. A. criticism B. credit C. attention D. advance
43. A. overall B. essential C. concrete D. multiple
44. A. against B. beyond C. after D. over

Not long after selecting their college, students are asked to declare an academic major. For some, this decision is easy, as their majors may have actually influenced their choice of college. ___21___, this decision is not always an easy one to make, and college students frequently hang their minds.
So, how should students make this significant decision? It is ___22___ to give into fear, indecisiveness or worry, but using the following strategies to select the right major will also help ___23___ your motivation when the going gets tough.
1. Make a Career Plan
One effective way to increase your chances of success in your major is by creating a career plan. Start by ___24___ your future career and consider the academic and professional paths that can lead you there. Research shows that students with career plans are more likely to ___25___ in their chosen majors.
___26___ your beliefs about work, your interest in various academic subjects and your abilities. Exploring these factors can help you make more informed decisions. Then, identify a specific career and ___27___ the steps you need to take in college to prepare for that career.
2. Do Your Research
Students sometimes drop out of their selected majors because they have become dissatisfied with the academic area they have chosen. Or they may find themselves more ___28___ to a different academic major altogether.
To avoid this, thoroughly ___29___ the career you’re interested in, as well as related fields. Consider whether a particular job matches your skills and preferences. Speak to professionals in the field to learn about their daily work, and reflect on what aspects of the job you would enjoy or dislike. While it is possible to switch out of your major once your interests become more apparent, you will save a good deal of time and energy by initially choosing a major that is ___30___ your interests and abilities.
3. Brace Yourself for ___31___
It may come as a surprise when you are presented with incredibly ___32___ material during your first semester at college. Students who were at the top of their class may be particularly shocked when they receive their first low grade on an exam. You should not assume, ___33___ that you have made the wrong choice of academic major simply because you performed poorly on one test. ___34___ feedback from college advisers and instructors can also influence a student’s choice to change their major.
The possibility of failure can be so ___35___ to students that they can lose their ambition on the first day of class, before they have experienced any academic failure at all. Hold on to the confidence that guided you to select your major in the first place, and prepare yourself for the academic challenges that await you in whichever major you choose.

For the past five years. I've been examining the pros and cons of reading on-screen versus in print. The _______bottom line is that while digital devices may be fine for reading that we don't intend to (41 ) _______or reread, text that requires what's been called “deep reading”is nearly always better done in print.
Readers themselves have a keen sense of what kind of reading is best suited for which (42) _______. My survey research with university students in the United Sates, Germany. and Japan reveals that if costs are the same, about 90 percent ( at least in my sample ) (43 )_______ hard copy for schoolwork. If a text is long, 92 percent would choose hard copy. For (44) _______texts, it's a toss-up.
Digital reading also (45 ) _______distraction and invites multitasking. Among American and Japanese subjects, 92 percent reported it was easiest to concentrate when reading in hard copy.(The figure for Germany was 98 percent. ) In this country.26 percent indicated they were (46)________to multitask while reading in print, compared with 85 percent when reading on-screen. Imagine (47)_______with Finnegan's Wake while simultaneously juggling Facebook and booking a vacation fight. You get the point.
Several open-ended questions on my survey were particularly (48 )_______. I asked what people liked most ( and least) about reading in each medium. Common (49)_______for what students liked most about reading in print included “I can write on the pages and remember the material easier” and “it's easier to focus.” When asked what they liked least about reading (50 )_______, a number of Japanese students reported that it wasn't “real reading,” while respondents from all three countries complained that they “get distracted” or “don't absorb as much.”
My all-time favorite reply to the question "What is the one thing you (51 )________about reading in print?" came from an American: "It takes me longer because I read more carefully. " Isn't careful reading what academe was designed to promote?
Readings in the humanities tend to be lengthy, intellectually weighty, or both. The (52)_______of digital reading for the humanities is that screens-particularly those on devices with Internet connections-undermine our encounters with meaty texts. These (53 ) ________weren't designed for focused concentration, reading slowly, pausing to argue virtually with the author,or rereading. (54 )_______, they are information and communication machines, best used for searching and skimming-not scrutinizing.
Teachers and scholars must look beyond today's career-mindedness in talking about challenges to the humanities. We need to think more carefully about students' mounting rejection of long-form reading , now (55 )_________ by digital technologies that further complicate our struggle to engage students in serious text-based inquiry.

Artificially sweetened diet drinks make no difference to weight gain and should not be seen as healthier than their sugar-laden counterparts, according to a team of experts, A review of research evidence concludes there is nothing to support claims that sugar free versions of popular soft drinks can help (4l) _______obesity and related diseases such as Type 2 diabetes. Industry sponsored studies reporting"favourable"associations between diet drinks and weight loss may be biased, it claims.
There have been concerns that diet drinks, known as artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs), might lead people to consume more calories by(42) ________sweet flavour taste buds. The new study found that evidence (43) _________the healthiness of ASBs was inconclusive with randomized controlled trials (RCTs) producing mixed results. Senor investigator Professor Christopher Millett said: "A common perception, which may be influenced by industry marketing, is that because ‘diet’ drinks have no sugar, they must be healthier and aid weight loss when used as a(n)(44)for full sugar versions However, we found no solid evidence to support this
The researchers pointed out that research supported by food or beverage companies was more likely to find no evidence of links between sugary drink (45) _________ and obesity than non-industry sponsored research. Similarly, ASB industry-sponsored research was "more likely to report favourable results and (46) ________ regarding ASB effects on weight control”
In many cases. researchers had failed to disclose (47) __________of interest relating to links with the food industry. it was claimed. Coauthor Dr Marin Carolina Borges said: “The lack of solid evidence on the health effects of ASBs and the potential influence of bias from industry funded studies should be taken seriously when discussing whether ASBs are (48) __________ alternatives to SSBs ( sugar-sweetened beverages)."
Leading British nutritionist Professor Susan Jebb said despite the mixed evidence, there was no reason to believe that replacing sugary drinks with artificially sweetened (49)________ did any harm She said , “For people seeking to manage their weight , tap water is (50)__________the best drink to choose , for health and the environment , but far many people who are used to drinking sugary drinks, this will be loo hard a change to (51)_________. Artificially sweetened drinks are a step in the ( 52 )__________ direction to cut calories." Dietitian Professor Tom Sanders, was also critical of the research, calling it “an opinion piece rather than a ( n )(53)___________review of the evidence”. He ( 54)____________ “The conclusion that reduced sugar or sugar-free drinks should not be promoted or seen as part of a healthy diet seems unwarranted and likely to add to public (55 )_____________.”

上海高考英语完形填空体裁议论文、说明文为主,夹叙夹议文次之,文章选材颇具哲理性,可读性较强。在语言结构方面,长难句较多,逻辑思辨能力强,理解难度较大,在选项词性上以实词为主,其中动词、名词会占半壁江山,虚词几乎不会考查,特别注重对文章上下文语境的理解把握。考点设置上,句内层次题(答案由设空所在句子决定,多凭句子本身可知答案)和句组层次题(答案由设空临近句子决定,需前后寻找信息或暗示)所占比重较大,语篇层次题(答案中整篇文章的内涵决定,需统揽全局)考查难度较大。主要考察动词、名词、形容词、副词。偶尔会有过渡词、介词短语、动词短语、连词等。
【要点梳理】
解题关键(首逻修词情)
一、文章句首
完形填空首句甚至前几句话往往是完整的信息,为考生提供足够的信息去了解文章的总体思路,这里信息可以帮助考生判断全文大意甚至全文主题。
二、逻辑关系
完形填空中的每一个空格并非孤立存在的,命题者必须通过上下文给出某种线索来保证空格所填答案的唯一性,而这一线索即是上下文乃至全文的逻辑关系。命题者往往借助连词或介词短语来设置选项。
三、修辞
1.排比结构
“排比结构”指的是结构相同或相似、意思密切关联、语法一致的句子或词组成串排列的语言现象。命题者常从排比结构的句式相同或相似这一角度,利用其表现意义的关联或对比这一特点来设空。
2.对比结构
对比结构常把两种对立的事物或同一事物的两个不同方面并列出来加以比较或对比。高考完形填空设题常常利用不同句子之间的对比关系或者同一个句子中不同部分之间的对比关系。
四、词汇语境
1.词汇复现
词汇复现使得语篇中的句子相互衔接和连贯,从而构成一个完整和有机的意义整体。根据这一原则,某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现的相关词,考生可以根据这些词来决定答案。
2.词汇差异
高考完形填空主要考查实义词,一定要结合上下文内容,根据句意进行判断。有时从单句看,似乎不止一个答案,必须结合上下文在含义和用法等多方面加以考虑才能作出选择。
五、情感态度
做完形填空时,应在弄清作者思路的基础上,着重寻找反映褒贬态度的标志性词汇或句子。我们有时候可以根据作者对人物或事情的态度来排除干扰,进行正确的选择。

【长难句解析】
1.Doctors are scientists who operate in a world of statistics, odds and probability. Yet they’ve long been taught that when dealing with patients they should convey a reassuring level of confidence and certainty.
【译文】医生是科学家,他们的工作离不开数据、机率和概率。然而长期以来,他们被教导说,与病人打交道时,他们应该传递令人信服的自信和确定性。
Operate这里应理解为“工作”; reassuring令人信服的、可靠的。
2. (41) As a result, patients expect their doctors to give them a clear diagnosis and a straightforward course of treatment.
【译文】因此,病人期待医生给他们一个清晰的诊断和直接的治疗过程。
3. But now that information about every medical condition imaginable is just a few clicks away experts are asking whether doctors' apparent (42) certainty when communicating with their patients actually does more harm than good.
【译文】但是,现在只要轻点鼠标、就能了解到各种病情信息,鉴于此,专家们质疑:与病人沟通时,医生给出的确定性实际上是否弊大于利。
Now that因为、鉴于;every…imaginable各种、全部的、所能想到的。
4.With the information overload brought by the progress of medicine and technology answers are(43) rarely black or white. Medical schools are only just starting to teach doctors how to deal with this, and patients' expectations haven't (44) adjusted either.
【译文】随着医学和技术进步所带来的信息过载,答案很少非黑即白。医学院正在开始教医生如何处理这个问题,而病人的期望也还没有能适应(这一变化趋势)。
With…brought复合结构“随着/在……”;
5. “Medicine has always fallen short of the sort of certainty that we find in math and geometry”, says Dr. Ross Upshur, a researcher at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in Toronto. “If you think about knowledge and what it does, it’s about (45) limiting uncertainty, not about creating certainty. ”
【译文】"医学总是达不到我们在数学和几何学中发现的那种确定性",多伦多达拉拉纳公共卫生学院的研究员罗斯-厄普舒尔博士说。"如果你考虑到知识和它的作用,它是关于限制不确定性,而不是创造确定性。"
fallen short of达不到、缺少。
6.Doctors in training, like gamblers, need to be (46) accustomed to working in a field in which they’re constantly weighing the odds based on countless factors. When Upshur teaches medical students how to diagnose a disease, he tells them to (47) broaden their inquiry ---- come up with a list of possibilities, rather than quickly home in on a single solution.
【译文】接受培训的医生就像赌徒一样,需要习惯于在这个领域工作,在这个领域中,他们不断地根据无数的因素来衡量赔率。当Upshur教授医学生如何诊断一种疾病时,他告诉他们要扩大调查范围----提出一个可能性的清单,而不是迅速归纳出一个单一的解决方案。
Weigh掂量、权衡;home in on对准、指向。
7.“Even when you make a diagnosis that you think is firm, you usually don’t have certainty about what would be the best (48) cure and what the outcomes will be in the long run.”
【译文】"即使你做出了一个你认为是确定的诊断,你通常也不能确定什么是最好的治疗方法,以及从长远来看,结果会是什么。"
In the long run长期来看。
8.(9) Technology has helped(49) redefine the quest for certainty. We are reaching a point where we can feed a list of symptoms into a computer and get a more (50) accurate diagnosis than from a doctor. Dr. Richard Schwartzstein, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, sees such developments as both a/an (51) challenge and an opportunity. On one hand, he says, “technology tries to push you to a/an (52) maximal level of certainty. Do this test to get a 99 percent level of certainty that you have this disease. ”
【译文】技术已经帮助我们重新定义了对确定性的追求。我们正在达到这样一个地步:我们可以把症状清单输入计算机,得到比医生更准确的诊断。哈佛医学院医学教授理查德-施瓦茨坦博士认为这种发展既是挑战也是机遇。他说,一方面,"技术试图把你推到一个最大的确定性水平。做这个测试可以得到99%的确定性:你有这个疾病。"
Redefine重新定义;reaching a point where达到某个……的程度。
9. On the other hand, computers can’t (53) communicate a diagnosis or a treatment to patients in a comforting way. Take a routine screening test for early-stage lung cancer. Based on your age, your smoking status, and your gender, a computer can do a great job of evaluating the chances of finding a cancerous nodule (癌症结节).
【译文】另一方面,计算机不能以安慰的方式向病人传达诊断或治疗。以早期肺癌的常规筛查测试为例。根据你的年龄、吸烟状况和性别,计算机可以很好地评估发现癌症结节的几率。
a routine screening test定期筛查。
10. It can also (54) calculate quite precisely the risk of developing an actual cancer based on the size and shape of a nodule. What it can’t do, (55) however, is decide how to break the news that you have a nodule in your lung that has a 1 percent chance of becoming a cancer.
【译文】它还可以根据结节的大小和形状,相当精确地计算出发展为实际癌症的风险。然而,它不能做的是决定如何告诉你,你的肺部有一个结节,有1%的机会成为癌症。
developing 患上某种疾病;break the news爆料、告诉实情。
【答案详解】
41.C【解析]此题考查上下文的逻辑关系。上文提到,医生应该给病人一个确定的诊断和治疗方案,而该空后提到,患者希望医生能给他们一个明确的诊断和简单的治疗过程。因此,此处能够承接上下文的只有C项,as a result 意为“所以;结果(是)”,故选C。on the hand一方面:afterwords adv.后来;as a result 所以;结果(是):above all最重要的是:尤其是。
42.D【解析]结合上文提及的Doctors are scientists who operate in a world of statistics,odds and probability. Yet they've long been taught that when dealing with patients they should convey a reassuring level of confidence and certainty.可知此处提及的内容与医生在治疗过程中的明确性沟通相关,再结合相关选项,此处与“确定性”能够产生联系的选项只有D项。句意为:“但现在,只要点击几下鼠标,就可以获得关于每一种可以想象的医疗状况的信息,专家们正在询问,医生在与患者沟通时的明显确定性(certainty)是否真的弊大于利”。故选D。victim n.受害者:牺牲品:instance n.例子,实例;情况;transparency n.透明;透明度:透明性: certainty n.确定:必然性。
43.C【解析]结合选项及上下文experts are asking whether doctors' apparent certainty--when communicating with their patients actually does more harm than good.可知,专家们也在研究和询问医患沟通明确带来的影响,所以此处最可能表述的是“随着医学和技术进步带来的信息过量,答案很少(rarely)是非黑即白的”。故选C。frequently adv.频繁地,经常:generally adv.笼统地;通常地;普遍地:rarely adv.少有地;罕见地;mainly adv.主要地;大多。44.D【解析]结合上文提及的patients expect their doctors to give them a clear diagnosis and a straightforward course of treatment可知,患者希望医生能给他们一个明确的诊断和简单的治疗过程,再结合选项可推知患者的这种观念在短时间不会发生改变。句意为:“医学院才刚刚开始教医生如何应对这种情况,患者的期望也没有调整(adjusted)”,故选D。adore v.喜爱:爱慕;transfer v.(使)转移:(使)调动;fade v.褪去;逐渐消逝:adjust v.适应,调整,校正。

Child developmental psychologist Jean Piaget convinced us that young, undeveloped minds couldn’t handle complex concepts because they simply weren’t experienced or mature enough yet. Piaget, ____41____, believed that young kids could not understand cause and effect, that they couldn’t think logically, and that they also couldn’t handle abstract ideas.
But child development specialists are finding out that preschoolers without any formal education may have the capacity to understand more complex concepts than we give them ____42____ for.
Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology at University of California Berkeley and her team devised a way to test how well young kids understand the abstract concept of ____43____ cause and effect—the idea that there may be more than one cause for a single effect. They picked preschoolers around 4 years old ____44____ undergraduates. The study ____45____ a toy that could be turned on by placing a single blue colored block on the toy’s tray, but could also be activated if two blocks-orange and purple-were placed on the tray.
The preschoolers were expert at ____46____ that the blue blocks turned on the toy, as did the purple and orange ones, but that the purple and orange ones needed to be paired together. The undergraduates, however, had a ____47____ time accepting the latter solution. Their previous experience in the world hampered their ability to accept the unusual rules that ____48____ the toy.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University found a similar effect among preschoolers when it came to math. Previous studies showed that if you present infants with eight objects over and over until they got bored, and then showed them 16, they suddenly ____49____ interest and sensed that things change. Even before they are taught about numbers or amounts, then, infants seem to have a grasp on quantity. “All the evidence so far leads us to believe that this is something that babies come into the world with,” says Melissa Kibbe, co-author of that study. According to her research, the preschoolers had some _____50_____ of quantity, and the appropriate amount that they needed to get from a small quantity to a larger one.
Kibbe’s and Gopnik’s recent work may have broader _____51_____ for education, since current math curricula in schools may not be ideal for _____52_____ the number sense that kids are born with. “There’s an exciting movement in psychology over the past decade, as we learn that students bring certain capabilities, or inborn knowledge that we hadn’t thought they had before,” says Jon Star, at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.
Though it may be too early to _____53_____ such findings to the classroom, the results lay the ground work for studying similar inborn skills and how they might be better understood. “The hard part is, _____54_____, how you build up and upon this intuitive knowledge in a way that allows a child to capture the complexity but not hold them back.” says Tina Grotzer, associate professor of education at Harvard. Taking advantage of a child’s still developing sense of numbers and quantities is one thing, but _____55_____ it with too many new constructs about algebra, unknowns, and problem solving may just end up negatively affecting his learning and academic performance. “As soon as concepts get big and complex, there are all sorts of perceptual, attentional, and cognitive costs and challenges involved,” she says.
41. A. in fact B. in particular C. in contrast D. in comparison
42. A. criticism B. credit C. attention D. advance

【导读】文章主要是对比了在屏幕上阅读和纸质阅读的利弊。结论是,虽然数字设备适合阅读不需要深入理解或重复阅读的内容,但对于需要进行“深度阅读”的文本来说,纸质阅读几乎总是更好的选择。调查研究显示,大部分学生认为纸质阅读更适合学业,尤其是长篇文本。数字阅读容易分散注意力,容易引发多任务处理,而纸质阅读更利于专注。一些被调查者表示,在纸质阅读时很少分心,而在屏幕上阅读时则经常分心。针对喜欢纸质阅读的原因,调查结果显示,人们喜欢可以在纸张上做笔记、更容易记住材料和更容易集中注意力。对于不喜欢数字阅读的原因,一些被调查者表示数字阅读不是“真正的阅读”,还有人抱怨容易分心或无法吸收足够的信息。最后,文章呼吁教师和学者要关注学生对长篇阅读的拒绝,特别是数字技术进一步加剧了我们在引导学生进行严肃的以文本为基础的研究方面的挑战。
