While they may not 1 human members in some aspect, their presence is irreplaceable. In contemporary society, individuals develop deep 2 bonds with their animal companions. Patrick and Evelyne Sire are cat lovers living in France. One day, they set off on a road trip to Spain with their cat, Filou. During a 3 for refueling, Patrick lowered the car window to 4 the flow of air inside. Filou, always 5 and full of energy, suddenly spotted something interesting outside. Before Patrick could 6 , Filou jumped out and in a flash they found him out of 7 . The old couple tried every means to find Filou, but could not 8 their beloved cat. Several months later, just when they were about to give up, they received a call. A woman 9 she happened to pick up a cat by the roadside on her way home. She remembered having watched a short video where a couple were 10 searching for a lost cat. When hearing the 11 news, they couldn’t wait to rush to the woman’s house to confirm the cat’s 12 . The moment the cat 13 his owners, he leaped straight into Patrick’s arms. The couple extended heartfelt gratitude to the woman for giving their cat a 14 . It was truly a beautiful story. 15 to this remarkable reunion, the couple shared this experience on their blog, spreading kindness, hope and warmth to others. 1．A．safeguard B．outperform C．overestimate D．brainwash 2．A．emotional B．social C．traditional D．practical 3．A．stop B．risk C．test D．swing 4．A．ignore B．limit C．force D．allow 5．A．nervous B．ambitious C．curious D．adorable 6．A．struggle B．refuse C．react D．leave 7．A．control B．sight C．order D．reach 8．A．contact B．recognize C．attend D．locate 9．A．related B．argued C．considered D．anticipated 10．A．temporarily B．automatically C．desperately D．ultimately 11．A．sympathetic B．familiar C．convincing D．exciting 12．A．identity B．health C．advantage D．attitude 13．A．broke away from B．laid eyes on C．watched out for D．caught up with 14．A．duty B．shelter C．solution D．name 15．A．Exposed B．Devoted C．Subsequent D．Similar Passage 2 As a college student, I volunteered at a wildlife center in Alabama, caring mostly for baby songbirds, squirrels, and rabbits. Most were healthy, so 1 feeding was usually enough. With some time and effort, a teenager could usually 2 . Only once was I 3 an injured animal — a baby rabbit whose eyes were still 4 and half its nose was torn away. That 5 tiny thing, I know now, never had a 6 of survival. Maybe I knew it then, too, but it did not stop me from 7 when it passed away. Many people 8 why wildlife rescuers even try to save such 9 animals. After all, rabbits and squirrels are not endangered. But when faced with a 10 struggling baby animal, even the hardest human heart 11 . So volunteers go to great lengths to save every creature. Even when rescue efforts fail, the act of trying still matters. Saving a common animal will not change the world, but it changes the person who refuses to 12 . In caring for a small life, volunteers learn patience, responsibility, and care. Every rescued animal teaches human a lesson on how to live more 13 on this planet. By reaching out to a 14 animal, people discover empathy and hope within themselves. Wildlife rescue can 15 the human heart. 1．A．extra B．frequent C．regular D．hourly 2．A．compete B．succeed C．hesitate D．escape 3．A．assigned B．passed C．shown D．offered 4．A．blind B．closed C．bright D．curious 5．A．cute B．calm C．special D．poor 6．A．necessity B．chance C．talent D．will 7．A．weeping B．quitting C．checking D．investigating 8．A．realize B．guess C．wonder D．explain 9．A．interesting B．precious C．pretty D．common 10．A．desperately B．aimlessly C．repeatedly D．restlessly 11．A．fails B．beats C．responds D．races 12．A．step up B．give away C．help out D．look away 13．A．gently B．creatively C．simply D．ideally 14．A．graceful B．fearless C．helpless D．joyful 15．A．win B．mend C．excite D．reveal Passage 3 Firefighter Peter was known for his devotion to wildlife. This week, his quick thinking took this devotion to a new level — 1 an unborn baby deer after an accident. Peter was called to the scene of a deer 2 by a car at a high speed. Upon arrival, he found the mother deer had suffered four broken legs, and 3 , there was no way to save it. It lay completely still, yet as he and his partner approached it, they noticed the unexpected 4 in its stomach. Realizing it was pregnant (怀孕的), Peter took 5 action. “I rushed to my truck, held my gloves and a knife, and got it out,” he said. “I knew it wouldn’t 6 if I didn’t do something.” Peter was once a vet (兽医), and his rich experience with 7 and his calm under pressure 8 . The newborn baby deer firstly struggled to 9 , but Peter cleared its nose and gently wiped it down. Then it began to cry out and even tried to stand — some 10 that it was going to 11 the disaster appeared. Soon, Peter transported the baby deer to a protection center, providing 12 for it. Later, it was reportedly doing well and 13 to its new surroundings. Local residents shared their 14 for Peter through social media. And 15 flood in. One highlighted another act of his kindness, saying, “Peter also went into a burning building and saved my cat years back.” 1．A．feeding B．rescuing C．observing D．searching 2．A．struck B．carried C．protected D．discovered 3．A．suitably B．confidently C．unluckily D．illegally 4．A．injury B．disease C．operation D．movement 5．A．creative B．immediate C．limited D．strange 6．A．wake B．grow C．sleep D．survive 7．A．animals B．residents C．buildings D．media 8．A．kept balance B．reached agreement C．made a difference D．broke a promise 9．A．breathe B．escape C．protest D．attack 10．A．tips B．signs C．risks D．warnings 11．A．set down B．account for C．meet with D．live through 12．A．request B．investigation C．shelter D．adventure 13．A．admitting B．leading C．contributing D．adapting 14．A．expectation B．admiration C．anxiety D．curiosity 15．A．comments B．applications C．profits D．funds Passage 4 It isn’t surprising that most people associate fires with death and destruction. But for Jeremy Bailey, a fire manager at the Nature Conservancy, fire is a natural process that 1 the landscape, much like rain. “When I think about fire, it always brings me a pleasant feeling,” he says. He is the first 2 on Life with Fire, a podcast hosted by former wildland firefighter Monthei. After an introductory show, each 3 features an interview with an expert that sets out to show that shocking news accounts of wildfires don’t tell the whole story. “Wildfire is a subtle subject that shouldn’t be 4 to the same talking points every summer and then forgotten about every winter,” says Monthei. The effect of climate change on wildfires is a big talking point on the show because it creates more 5 conditions for fire and lengthens fire seasons. However, a few guests suggest that climate change isn’t the only 6 . In an absorbing discussion about the historic firestorm that hit northern California in September, Nick at the National Interagency Fire Center talks about the factors that had to 7 for such unheard-of fires to occur. 8 the absence of summer monsoons (季风) and presence of persistent heatwaves, it still took lightning and strong winds to generate those vast flames. Another big issue the show tackles is the fact that we can’t put out all wildfires, so we will have to manage them. Bailey is a fan of 9 fires. These “prescribed fires” are often started to clear the low vegetation, such as bushes and dead plants, that typically 10 severe wildfires. Planned blazes are mainly used to reduce the risks of disastrous fires, but he thinks they have wider potential. The podcast also discusses how to encourage women and ethnic minority groups into fire-related jobs, and how to retain them, as these jobs are still 11 done by white men. Lenya, who started a training scheme for women in fire, thinks people with 12 backgrounds are needed to help tackle the growing severity of wildfires. “ 13 at its core requires diversity because you have to have people thinking about issues in different ways and bringing different types of solution to the table,” she says. One 14 of Life with Fire is that although later shows are accessible to a general audience, the podcast takes time to get into its stride (进展). Presenting the topics it covers in a different order would have helped guide people with no knowledge of fire science. Upcoming shows will be more 15 as Monthei talks to fire practitioners from around the world. “I think telling stories and sharing new perspectives worldwide is a critical first step,” she says. 1．A．revitalises B．carbonises C．destroys D．dominates 2．A．host B．interviewer C．guest D．fan 3．A．disaster B．episode C．report D．medium 4．A．converted B．elevated C．referred D．minimized 5．A．demanding B．incredible C．favourable D．changeable 6．A．threat B．cause C．effect D．subject 7．A．line up B．set aside C．make up D．watch out 8．A．In spite of B．On account of C．In case of D．As well as 9．A．extinguished B．unparalleled C．exploited D．controlled 10．A．manages B．promises C．fuels D．eases 11．A．largely B．rarely C．freely D．duly 12．A．professional B．diverse C．related D．noble 13．A．Innovation B．Severity C．Equality D．Broadcast 14．A．theme B．feature C．criticism D．merit 15．A．critical B．international C．scientific D．controversial Passage 5 On a stormy night in southern Greece, Eira Toss stood looking at her flooded home, despair biting at her heart. The century’s worst rainstorm turned the nearby river that was usually 1 into a violent flood, which covered every room with thick mud and reduced her new furniture to ruins. When the rain stopped 2 in the early morning, everything fell silent. Eira stayed outside, her mind 3 by how to fix the chaos — she’d moved in just a week prior, 4 to the village. Just then, the sound of an engine broke the 5 . Down the narrow road came a truck with shovels (铲子). Before Eira could voice her 6 , four village women led by old lady Nora 7 , rolling up sleeves. “We heard about your trouble,” Nora said warmly. “No need to 8 this alone — we’re here to help.” Eira was 9 ; she’d only shared simple greetings with them. Over the next two days, they worked hard from early morning till night, cleaning the muddy floors, carrying out 10 belongings, and clearing away the dirt. By the evening of the second day, her home was 11 . Eira thanked them again and again, but Nora simply said, “This is our 12 of treating people here.” Though the storm had 13 much, it’d also given her something lasting: a place in a community where people 14 one another, not out of duty, but through simple, human 15 . 1．A．peaceful B．deep C．colorful D．clean 2．A．strangely B．eventually C．partially D．desperately 3．A．clouded B．ignored C．encouraged D．refreshed 4．A．sensitive B．thankful C．important D．new 5．A．conversation B．darkness C．quietness D．concentration 6．A．protest B．sorrow C．confusion D．anxiety 7．A．observed B．hesitated C．doubted D．advanced 8．A．face B．avoid C．guarantee D．support 9．A．embarrassed B．shocked C．concerned D．satisfied 10．A．extra B．expensive C．damaged D．used 11．A．warm B．livable C．noisy D．empty 12．A．benefit B．difference C．decision D．style 13．A．taught B．responded C．predicted D．taken 14．A．looked out for B．kept pace with C．took advantage of D．made up for 15．A．potential B．dignity C．care D．intervention Passage 6 The earthquake was over and the city was in ruins. I had no choice but to walk home as all the 1 had stopped as a result of the quake. On my way home I 2 an old lady at a bakery (烘焙店) giving out free bread, which made my heart 3 . A man was holding a sign saying, “Please use our 4 .” He was opening his house for people to go to the toilet. Then the next day I drove to have my car 5 . There was not enough 6 now and many gas stations were either closed or had very 7 lines. I got worried, since I was behind fifteen cars. Finally, when my 8 came, the man smiled and said, “Because of this situation, we are only giving $30 worth of gas per person. Is that all right?” “Of course. It’s nice that we are all able to 9 ,” I said. His smile gave me so much comfort. At the shelter center I saw a man 10 when people brought food to him. It was the first time in three days that food had been 11 there. However, after he dried the tears, his next 12 surprised me, “I am very 13 that we are provided with food. But people in the city next to us haven’t 14 any food at all. Please go to that center as well.” Hearing that, I realized there was a bright future on the other side of this 15 . 1．A．lift B．traffic C．donation D．business 2．A．crashed B．saw C．rescued D．caught 3．A．scared B．broken C．empty D．warm 4．A．kitchen B．bedroom C．living room D．bathroom 5．A．filled up B．cleared up C．cleaned up D．built up 6．A．food B．oxygen C．gas D．water 7．A．strange B．sharp C．long D．familiar 8．A．turn B．time C．order D．determination 9．A．choose B．offer C．profit D．share 10．A．eating B．crying C．erupting D．singing 11．A．left B．stored C．brought D．kept 12．A．words B．roles C．behaviors D．promises 13．A．shocked B．curious C．confused D．grateful 14．A．cooked B．received C．prepared D．exported 15．A．city B．damage C．disaster D．center Passage 7 Information literacy seems to be a unique phrase for our time. It is important in all aspects of life to achieve personal, social, workplace and educational goals. Last month, a leading test providing company 1 that it had created one to measure students’ ability to 2 online material. That suggested an official recognition that the millions of dollars spent to supply online access to our students is of 3 use unless students know how to find out useful information from the ocean of 4 on the Web. Clearly, “computer skills” are not enough. Students are never 5 while surfing the Internet. They trust everything online. That trusting 6 is partly a legacy (遗留物) of the print age. If we tend to believe things we read in library books, it is because they have been 7 first by a publisher, who decided they were worth printing, and then by the librarian who acquired them or the professor who requested their 8 . The Web, however, enjoys no such 9 . But there is a paradox (矛盾) in the way people think of the Web. Everyone is aware that bad information is everywhere online. But most people feel 10 that they can sort the good from the bad. In a survey 11 by the Pew Project on the Internet and American Life, 87 percent of search-engine users said they found what they were looking for all or most of the time. That level of confidence may not be 12 , particularly when a search for information requires judging a Web site’s 13 . According to the Pew survey, only 38 percent of search-engine users were aware of the difference between unpaid and 14 search results, and only 18 percent could tell which is which. People tend to judge the credit of a Web site by its appearance, 15 by checking who put it up and why. 1．A．promised B．announced C．provided D．reminded 2．A．develop B．improve C．endure D．evaluate 3．A．great B．full C．little D．low 4．A．charm B．search C．misunderstanding D．rubbish 5．A．alert B．exhausted C．confused D．considerable 6．A．nature B．sample C．skill D．site 7．A．publicized B．screened C．declined D．maintained 8．A．interaction B．technique C．purchase D．authority 9．A．growth B．process C．challenges D．security 10．A．confused B．incapable C．negative D．confident 11．A．interviewed B．concealed C．relied D．released 12．A．justified B．frustrated C．imposed D．devoted 13．A．design B．profit C．credit D．allowance 14．A．launched B．sponsored C．rejected D．volunteered 15．A．apart from B．in particular C．rather than D．as well as Passage 8 The students’ cooperation during a school activity inspired hope. It was College Day, designed to 1 students to pursue higher education after graduation. At lunch, we 2 a game, during which students needed to answer some questions. Unlike previous 3 , some special education students who are unable to speak joined the game. As the game began, I was ready to 4 if necessary. On the first question, to my 5 , one of the special education students 6 the bell first. He expressed his thoughts through hand gestures 7 and nervously. Before I could even offer help, some students who knew sign language (手语) helped interpret his answer. When I announced “correct”, the crowd burst into 8 — the loudest of the day. It happened again with the next question. This time, as the crowd began 9 his name joyfully, he smiled brightly with 10 . More special education students were 11 to participate, and the cheering grew louder. The entire room was full of happiness — students showed teamwork and 12 . Afterward, I 13 this experience. We often talk about the challenges this generation faces, but I saw something 14 today. They showed genuine care and supported each other to 15 problems. In that moment, they reminded me that the future is in very good hands. 1．A．motivate B．attract C．persuade D．request 2．A．planned B．managed C．prepared D．organized 3．A．classrooms B．occasions C．schools D．times 4．A．assist B．appear C．stop D．act 5．A．anger B．panic C．surprise D．relief 6．A．pointed B．saw C．rang D．heard 7．A．awkwardly B．worriedly C．quickly D．calmly 8．A．laughter B．cheers C．song D．tears 9．A．repeating B．spelling C．whispering D．shouting 10．A．satisfaction B．embarrassment C．confidence D．regret 11．A．forced B．invited C．persuaded D．allowed 12．A．responsibility B．kindness C．generosity D．honesty 13．A．forgot about B．suffered from C．reported on D．reflected on 14．A．inspiring B．interesting C．challenging D．shocking 15．A．discuss B．recognize C．analyze D．address Passage 9 A school bus caught fire on the way to Monticello Middle School. However, a potentially dangerous situation 1 a witness to preparedness and quick action. The bus driver responded 2 , and thanks to this, all 15 students on board were safely evacuated without injury. The 3 occurred at the intersection of Cambridge and Northampton roads when a fire started behind one of the rear wheels of Bus 21. The driver immediately recognized the 4 and guided the students off the bus, ensuring their 5 . Another district driver in the area quickly stepped in to 6 the students to school. Officer Liz Kirby expressed her relief that no one was hurt and 7 both the driver and the students for their calm and orderly 8 . “First and foremost, I can’t express how 9 I am that no one was injured, and I am incredibly 10 for the quick response from the driver,” she said. “I spoke with the driver today, and they largely 11 the students’ good preparation to the annual bus evacuation drills that drivers do with students, thus 12 them effectively.” The school staff were prepared to 13 students upon arrival, ensuring they felt safe and cared for after the incident. An 14 into the fire’s cause is ongoing. Thanks to the driver’s 15 actions, what could have been a tragedy ended with everyone safe and sound. 1．A．ended in B．turned into C．gave away D．resulted from 2．A．suddenly B．gradually C．casually D．swiftly 3．A．incident B．tragedy C．drill D．affair 4．A．opportunity B．scene C．danger D．failure 5．A．health B．security C．position D．future 6．A．transport B．guide C．walk D．lead 7．A．blamed B．awarded C．criticized D．praised 8．A．reward B．emergency C．response D．attitude 9．A．panicked B．relieved C．awkward D．regretful 10．A．admirable B．regretful C．guilty D．grateful 11．A．owed B．contributed C．devoted D．attached 12．A．warning B．reminding C．charging D．preparing 13．A．support B．educate C．discipline D．entertain 14．A．insight B．interview C．investigation D．involvement 15．A．random B．decisive C．cautious D．patient Passage 10 Many children may be fond of animals, but few ever think of making the study of animals as their career. Even 1 will be recognized by the whole world, enjoying the title of United Nations Messenger(使者) of Peace. But one woman has 2 all that. She has lived with chimps in the African forest for many years and made great discoveries. Jane Goodall’s lifelong 3 in animals began at an early age. By the age of 10 or 11, Goodall 4 going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a strange dream in those days, as young girls didn’t think of having such “wild” actions. But she was 5 by her mother. She told her that if she really wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of 6 and never give up looking for a way. When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957, she readily 7   it. Within a few months of her arrival, she met the famous anthropologist(人类学家) Dr Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Coodall was the 8 person he was looking for to begin a 9 of wild chimps on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania. In the beginning, studying the chimps was not easy for her. The animals fled(逃走) from her 10 . With a strong 11 , she searched the forest every day, trying not to get too close to the chimps too soon. Gradually the chimps became used to her presence. In October 1960, she observed a chimp making and using 12 to fish for termites(白蚁). This discovery threw 13 on the popular idea at the time that man was the world’s only toolmaker. The longer Goodall’s research continues, the more it becomes obvious that chimps are very 14 to humans. Since the mid-1980s, Goodall has been lecturing around the world to raise people’s sense about environmental 15 . “Let’s live in the new age with hope, respect for all living things, understanding and love.” she said. 1．A．fewer B．more C．less D．much 2．A．seen B．found C．achieved D．realised 3．A．study B．interest C．sense D．dream 4．A．was fond of B．was tired of C．insisted on D．dreamed of 5．A．encouraged B．prevented C．advised D．forced 6．A．money B．youth C．hope D．chances 7．A．accepted B．refused C．received D．considered 8．A．wrong B．fool C．special D．beautiful 9．A．project B．study C．centre D．career 10．A．in surprise B．in a hurry C．in order D．in fear 11．A．will B．body C．view D．brain 12．A．feet B．tools C．holes D．hands 13．A．doubt B．light C．answers D．beliefs 14．A．close B．similar C．friendly D．helpful 15．A．improvement B．protection C．pollution D．destruction Passage 11 Zhao Ming was acknowledged as one of the greatest doctors for his remarkable contributions to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It was reported that he suffered from different 1 when he was young. His own sufferings inspired him to be a 2 . Even in tough circumstances, he wasn’t 3 but became a doctor successfully in 1920, insisting on 4 poor ordinary people free of charge. One day, he 5 a patient with little hair. Upon knowing his illness, he consulted ancient medical records and started to evaluate different plants for their medical properties to find a traditional 6 treatment. He bought medical devices which could boil distinct plants. He used the liquid 7 to treat his hair, which 8 a great success. Consequently, he inferred that a substance called Garden Balsam Stem (透骨草) 9 worked. Afterwards it was indeed an honor for him to take up a position in the academic 10 of TCM. Out of passion for his job, he 11 his own clinic and gradually discovered new crucial 12 for different skin problems. In his later years, he wrote a book with many flow charts, which plays a 13 role in the development of modern TCM. To sum up, Professor Zhao, 14 himself to doing extraordinary scientific research on TCM throughout his whole life, will be forever 15 by Chinese people. 1．A．evaluations B．diseases C．theories D．devices 2．A．genius B．politician C．doctor D．novelist 3．A．ignored B．signaled C．permitted D．defeated 4．A．treating B．analyzing C．maintaining D．inferring 5．A．indicated B．judged C．encountered D．pursued 6．A．gentle B．botanical C．objective D．moral 7．A．obtained B．reflected C．drafted D．recycled 8．A．took up B．figured out C．tripped over D．turned out 9．A．externally B．financially C．apparently D．shallowly 10．A．element B．institution C．conclusion D．option 11．A．decorated B．monitored C．spotted D．founded 12．A．cures B．resources C．patents D．consequences 13．A．flexible B．vital C．passive D．precious 14．A．addicting B．adapting C．committing D．seeking 15．A．complained B．impressed C．replaced D．respected Passage 12 A successful scientist is generally a good observer. He makes full 1 of the facts he observes. He doesn’t accept ideas which are not based on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority as the only 2 for truth. He always 3 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them. The rise of modern science may perhaps be considered to 4 back to the time of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who lived 5 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle 6 to suggest that we must learn science 7 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself made many important discoveries. Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564—1642 ) , was one of the greatest men, 8 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 9 to show how many important truths could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 10 towards the earth than small ones, 11 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 12 of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 13 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo’s 14 of going direct to nature, and proving our 15   and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science. 1．A．use B．time C．speed D．trust 2．A．reason B．cause C．advice D．result 3．A．thinks B．checks C．has D．learns 4．A．date B．keep C．look D．take 5．A．both B．each C．between D．among 6．A．Schools B．Ages C．Days D．Countries 7．A．in B．with C．on D．by 8．A．who B．when C．that D．where 9．A．ways B．degrees C．levels D．chance 10．A．slowly B．rapidly C．lightly D．heavily 11．A．although B．because C．when D．if 12．A．place B．foot C．top D．ceiling 13．A．big B．small C．equal D．unequal 14．A．spirit B．skill C．theory D．discovery 15．A．plans B．opinions C．world D．ability 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之完形填空12篇 （Units1-4单元话题） 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 Nature in the Balance 人与自然 Unit 2 Natural Disasters 自然灾害 Unit 3 The world Online 网络与科技 Unit 4 Scientists Who Changed the World 著名人物 本资料共12篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应3篇单元话题专题训练 Passage 1 Undeniably, pets are part of the family. While they may not 1 human members in some aspect, their presence is irreplaceable. In contemporary society, individuals develop deep 2 bonds with their animal companions. Patrick and Evelyne Sire are cat lovers living in France. One day, they set off on a road trip to Spain with their cat, Filou. During a 3 for refueling, Patrick lowered the car window to 4 the flow of air inside. Filou, always 5 and full of energy, suddenly spotted something interesting outside. Before Patrick could 6 , Filou jumped out and in a flash they found him out of 7 . The old couple tried every means to find Filou, but could not 8 their beloved cat. Several months later, just when they were about to give up, they received a call. A woman 9 she happened to pick up a cat by the roadside on her way home.

But for Jeremy Bailey, a fire manager at the Nature Conservancy, fire is a natural process that 1 the landscape, much like rain. “When I think about fire, it always brings me a pleasant feeling,” he says. He is the first 2 on Life with Fire, a podcast hosted by former wildland firefighter Monthei. After an introductory show, each 3 features an interview with an expert that sets out to show that shocking news accounts of wildfires don’t tell the whole story. “Wildfire is a subtle subject that shouldn’t be 4 to the same talking points every summer and then forgotten about every winter,” says Monthei. The effect of climate change on wildfires is a big talking point on the show because it creates more 5 conditions for fire and lengthens fire seasons. However, a few guests suggest that climate change isn’t the only 6 . In an absorbing discussion about the historic firestorm that hit northern California in September, Nick at the National Interagency Fire Center talks about the factors that had to 7 for such unheard-of fires to occur. 8 the absence of summer monsoons (季风) and presence of persistent heatwaves, it still took lightning and strong winds to generate those vast flames. Another big issue the show tackles is the fact that we can’t put out all wildfires, so we will have to manage them. Bailey is a fan of 9 fires. These “prescribed fires” are often started to clear the low vegetation, such as bushes and dead plants, that typically 10 severe wildfires. Planned blazes are mainly used to reduce the risks of disastrous fires, but he thinks they have wider potential. The podcast also discusses how to encourage women and ethnic minority groups into fire-related jobs, and how to retain them, as these jobs are still 11 done by white men. Lenya, who started a training scheme for women in fire, thinks people with 12 backgrounds are needed to help tackle the growing severity of wildfires. “ 13 at its core requires diversity because you have to have people thinking about issues in different ways and bringing different types of solution to the table,” she says. One 14 of Life with Fire is that although later shows are accessible to a general audience, the podcast takes time to get into its stride (进展). Presenting the topics it covers in a different order would have helped guide people with no knowledge of fire science.

As well as以及，除……之外。根据空后“the absence of summer monsoons (季风) and presence of persistent heatwaves, it still took lightning and strong winds to generate those vast flames”并结合常识可知，要发生大型火灾，需要的条件是：无雨干旱、持续热浪、闪电和强风。这里是包含被提及的部分，用as well as合适。故选D。 9．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Bailey是可控火的粉丝。A. extinguished熄灭；B. unparalleled无与伦比的；C. exploited利用；D. controlled控制。根据下文“prescribed fires”和“Planned blazes”可知，这里指可控制的火。故选D。 10．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这些“人工控制燃烧的火”通常是为了清除低矮的植被而点燃，如灌木丛和枯死的植物，这些植被通常会引发严重的野火。A. manages管理；B. promises承诺；C. fuels刺激，给……提供燃料；D. eases减轻。根据空前“such as bushes and dead plants”和空后“severe wildfires”以及常识可知，灌木丛和枯死的植物容易点燃，通常会导致火灾。故选C。 11．考查副词词义辨析。句意：该播客还讨论了如何鼓励女性和少数民族从事与火灾相关的工作，以及如何留住他们，因为这些工作仍然主要由白人男性完成。A. largely主要地；B. rarely很少；C. freely自由地；D. duly适当地。根据前文“The podcast also discusses how to encourage women and ethnic minority groups into fire-related jobs, and how to retain them”可知，既然讨论如何让女性和少数民族从事与火灾相关的工作，那说明目前这些工作大部分是白人男性做的。故选A。 12．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：Lenya为从事火灾工作的女性启动了一项培训计划，她认为需要不同背景的人来帮助应对日益严重的野火。A. professional专业的；B. diverse多样的；C. related相关的；D. noble高尚的。根据下文“requires diversity”和“people thinking about issues in different ways and bringing different types of solution to the table”可知，这里指不同背景的人。故选B。 13．考查名词词义辨析。句意：她说：“创新的核心需要多样性，因为你必须让人们以不同的方式思考问题，并提出不同类型的解决方案。”A. Innovation创新；B. Severity严重；C. Equality平等；D.

It is important in all aspects of life to achieve personal, social, workplace and educational goals. Last month, a leading test providing company 1 that it had created one to measure students’ ability to 2 online material. That suggested an official recognition that the millions of dollars spent to supply online access to our students is of 3 use unless students know how to find out useful information from the ocean of 4 on the Web. Clearly, “computer skills” are not enough. Students are never 5 while surfing the Internet. They trust everything online. That trusting 6 is partly a legacy (遗留物) of the print age. If we tend to believe things we read in library books, it is because they have been 7 first by a publisher, who decided they were worth printing, and then by the librarian who acquired them or the professor who requested their 8 . The Web, however, enjoys no such 9 . But there is a paradox (矛盾) in the way people think of the Web. Everyone is aware that bad information is everywhere online. But most people feel 10 that they can sort the good from the bad. In a survey 11 by the Pew Project on the Internet and American Life, 87 percent of search-engine users said they found what they were looking for all or most of the time. That level of confidence may not be 12 , particularly when a search for information requires judging a Web site’s 13 .

But she was 5 by her mother. She told her that if she really wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of 6 and never give up looking for a way. When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957, she readily 7   it. Within a few months of her arrival, she met the famous anthropologist(人类学家) Dr Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Coodall was the 8 person he was looking for to begin a 9 of wild chimps on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.

He makes full 1 of the facts he observes. He doesn’t accept ideas which are not based on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority as the only 2 for truth. He always 3 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them. The rise of modern science may perhaps be considered to 4 back to the time of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who lived 5 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle 6 to suggest that we must learn science 7 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself made many important discoveries. Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564—1642 ) , was one of the greatest men, 8 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 9 to show how many important truths could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 10 towards the earth than small ones, 11 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 12 of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 13 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo’s 14 of going direct to nature, and proving our 15   and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science. 1．A．use B．time C．speed D．trust 2．A．reason B．cause C．advice D．result 3．A．thinks B．checks C．has D．learns 4．A．date B．keep C．look D．take 5．A．both B．each C．between D．among 6．A．Schools B．Ages C．Days D．Countries 7．A．in B．with C．on D．by 8．A．who B．when C．that D．where 9．A．ways B．degrees C．levels D．chance 10．A．slowly B．rapidly C．lightly D．heavily 11．A．although B．because C．when D．if 12．A．place B．foot C．top D．ceiling 13．A．big B．small C．equal D．unequal 14．A．spirit B．skill C．theory D．discovery 15．A．plans B．opinions C．world D．ability 【答案】 1．A 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．B 7．D 8．A 9．B 10．B 11．B 12．C 13．D 14．A 15．B 【导语】本文是篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过对罗杰·培根和伽利略事迹的描述，讲述了一个成功的科学家应该具有的品质：不能盲目相信他人，应该通过观察和实验来获得正确的观点和理论。 1．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他充分利用他观察到的事实。A. use用、使用；make full use of充分利用；B. time时间；C. speed速度；D. trust信任。根据下文“He doesn’t accept ideas which are not based on obvious facts, ”（他不接受不是以明显事实为基础的观点，）和“He always 　3　 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.”（他总是仔细检查想法，并做实验来证明它们。）可知，一个成功的科学家只接受以事实为基础的观点，所以他会充分利用所观察到的事实，做实验来证明这些观点。故选A。 2．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他不接受不是以明显事实为基础的观点，因此拒绝接受权威作为真理的唯一理由。A. reason原因、理由；B. cause起因；C. advice建议；D. result结果。根据句中“He doesn’t accept ideas which are not based on obvious facts,”（他不接受不是以明显事实为基础的观点，）可知，他只把事实作为真理的唯一理由，拒绝接受权威作为真理的唯一理由。故选A。 3．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他总是仔细核查观点，并用实验来证明它们。A. thinks认为、想；B. checks检查、核查；C. has有；D. learns学习。根据句中“makes experiments to prove them.”可知，科学家做实验是为了证明观点的正确性，所以他会仔细核查观点的正确性，并通过实验来加以证明。故选B。 4．考查动词词义辨析。句意：现代科学的兴起也许可以追溯到罗杰·培根的时代，他是牛津的杰出哲学家，生活在1214年到1292年之间。A. date确定年代；date back to追溯到；B. keep保持；C. look看；look back to回顾；D. take带、拿；take back to带回到。根据句中的“the time of Roger Bacon”和“the years 1214 and 1292”可知，现代科学的兴起也许是从罗杰·培根时代开始的，即可以追溯到很早的时期，date back to意义为“追溯到”。故选A。 5．考查代词和介词词义辨析。句意：现代科学的兴起也许可以追溯到罗杰·培根的时代，他是牛津的杰出哲学家，生活在1214年到1292年之间。A. both代词，两者都；B. each代词，每一个；C. between介词，两者之间；D. among介词，在……当中（三者或以上）。根据句中“the time of Roger Bacon”和并列连词“and”可知，罗杰·培根应该生活在1214-1292之间，between...and...表示“在……与……之间”，符合句意。故选C。 6．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他可能是中世纪第一个提出我们必须通过观察和对我们周围的事物进行实验来学习科学的人。A.
