完形填空、閱讀理解課外練(九)一、完型填空I ran in a race over the weekend and re-1earned a valuable lesson. During the middle of the run, I turned a corner and faced a 36 running trackthe kind that doesnt seem to end. When I started the race, the thought of 37 the finish line motivated me. But when 1 was halfway through, out of breath, imagining the finish line didnt provide me with any 38 .Instead of focusing on 39 and reaching my goal, I tried to forget all about the finish line and conquering the long running track ahead. I 40 my head and looked about three steps in front of me. Every three steps became a _41 “finish line. Forget about everything else, I told myself over and over. 42 just those next three steps. 43 I knew it, I had reached the end of the long running track and was 44_ another corner. So what does this mean in the real world? All the experts 45 you to dream big. Making your goals 46 , they say, will help you persist (頑強地堅持) in the face of difficulties. But many times, this thinking doesnt 47 .Big goals can become double-edged sword. They can motivate you to take action, but they can also create 48 : Im in the battle for my life, struggling in the battlefield, and you want me to focus on winning the war? I dont think so. How about focusing on how to 49 the next 24 hours? Theres a fine line of course. If you only focus on whats right in front of you and 50 the bigger picture, your work may start to seem pointless. So what we need is to achieve a(n) 51 . People usually say if youre 52 of heights, the rule is not to look down. During my race, I had a new 53 : dont look up. I focused on my next few 54 and knew if I did this over and over and over. Id 55 reach the finish line. And Im happy to report I did finish the race.36Asingle Bwrong Cnarrow D1ong37Acrossing Bfollowing Cmoving Dpulling 38Aexperience Benergy Cinformation Dprotection 39A. success Beffort Cpoints Dcauses40Aheld Braised Cshook Ddropped41Afinal Bnew Cmain Dfine42APut on BHold on CFocus on DRely on43AAfter BSince CBefore DUntil 44Aturning Bkeeping C1eaving Dmaking45Aencourage Bforce Crequest Dforbid46Atrue Bbig Cinteresting Deasy47Ahelp Bexist Cstay Dappear48Astress Bwork Ccharacters Dopportunities49Aspend Benjoy C. fill Dsurvive50Acatch Bsee Cignore Dimagine51Apurpose Bbalance Cgoal Deffect 52Aaware Bafraid Ctired Dunsure53Aproblem Badventure Cway Drule54Araces Bsteps Cjobs Dideas55Aeventually Bimpossibly Cnaturally D. frequently36-40 DABAD 41-45 BCCAA 46-50 BAADC 51-55 BBDBA二、閱讀理解AFor 75 years, three words have influenced the lives of many young Brits. They are: mirror, signal, manoeuvre (移動).These are the processes all drivers should perform. Learners hoping to pass their driving test need to prove that they understand the importance of these actions before they can throw out their L-plates and head for the highway. In Britain, L-plates ale signs with a red “L” on them which you attach to a car to warn other drivers that you are a learner. This summer the British driving test celebrates its seventy-fifth birthday. Its often described as one of the most frightening tests we face. It is a painful experience that doesnt come very cheap nowadays. Taking the test in 1935 cost just 37. 5 pence；now candidates can expect to pay 93. The test is also harder than ever. In 1935, the pass rate was 63; now its 43. In recent years, the DSAthe organization that oversees (監(jiān)督) the driving testhas looked for ways to assess different aspects of what makes a good driverNow the DSA has announced that candidates will drive for ten minutes without detailed instructions from the examiner. DSAS chief driving examiner Trevor Wedge said the aim was to measure a candidates ability to drive safely while making decisions independently.However, drivers will not be punished for getting lost. “Candidates wont be failed for going off route,” Mr. Wedge said.No doubt there will still be complaints. The BBC has learnt that in 2009 there were l,889 complaints about examiners, of which just 51 were supported.Complaints that were rejected included “Candidate crashed during testclaims examiner distracted (注意力不集中的)” and “Candidate says examiner took her on busy roads during rush hour, which was unfair”.Someone else seemingly failed to understand the nature of an emergency stop when the complaint was filed that an emergency stop was conducted without warning.63. What do we know about L-plates?A. Brits with L-plates cant drive on highways.B. Its difficult for people to get L-plates.C. It takes a long time to get L-plates.D. Most L-plates are black in color.64. According to the passage, the staff members of the DSA .A. teach how to driveB. are mostly policemenC. punish candidates who get lostD. assess the performance of candidates65. We can learn from the passage that .A. examiners dont take candidates on busy roadsB. the pass rate of the driving test in Britain is 63C. the first British driving test took place in the 1920sD. only a small number of complaints about examiners were supported66. What does the author want to tell us most?A. People are afraid of taking tests.B. Its not easy to get a driving license in Britain.C. People must be careful while driving in Britain.D. Complaints about the DSA examiners are increasing. ADDBBNowadays, there is a heated debate on whether pollutants should be cleaned in the air. Cleaning up the air, while good for our lungs, could make global warming worse. And the pollutants still go up around the air, along with carbon dioxide.These pollutants are called aerosols (氣溶粒) and they include soot as well as mixtures of nitrogen (氮) and sulfur (硫) and other stuff into the air. Natalie Mahowald, a climate researcher at Cornell University, says so far, scientists have mostly tried to understand what those aerosols do while theyre actually in the air.“There are so many different kinds of aerosols,” she says. “Some warm and some cool. But in fact, humans are giving out a lot of extra aerosols, and they tend to cool for the most part.”The aerosols reflect sunlight back into space, or keep us cool. But it turns out thats not all they do. These aerosols also influence how much carbon dioxide gets drawn out of the air by plants on land and in the sea.“They can add nutrients, for example, to the oceans or to the land,” Mahowald says. “But also while theyre in the atmosphere they can change the climate, and thus that also can influence the amount of carbon, the land or the ocean can take up. So there are quite a few different ways that aerosols can act on each other.”Mahowalds results suggest that reducing those pollutants could be an even bigger problem than realized, when you consider that aerosols help remove carbon dioxide from the air by encouraging plant growth. Hard numbers on this effect are highly uncertain at the moment, but this could turn out to be quite significant.And studying it is not easy because the effects arent well understood. For example, nitrogen can be a fertilizer (肥料), but it can stop plant growing when nitrogen comes out of the air in acid form. Right now it seems like were much more likely to clean up aerosol pollution, while increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. So scientists, unfortunately, may have a chance to see whether this experiment on our planet should continue or not.36. From Paragraph 2, we know that .A. scientists have been aware of how aerosols workB. Natalie Mahowald is an expert in climateC. cleaning up the air is so popularD. pollutants are under control so far37. What is Natalie Mahowalds opinion on those aerosols?A. Aerosols can influence each other in various ways.B. All the aerosols will cool the earth.C. Aerosols can add nutrients to human beings. D. Any kind of aerosols will warm the earth.38. Why is it important for scientists to get accurate numbers according to the passage? A. Scientists have a chance to research them.B. They can bring scientists much more benefit.C. Scientists can protect the earth from being pollutedD. They can help scientists understand the effects better. 39. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Scientists will be in a dilemma.B. The experiment will be successful.C. Scientists will carry out the experiment.D. Scientists have difficulty in the experiment. 40. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Pollutants in the Air.B. The Experiment on the PlanetC. The Reason for Global Warming D. The Influence of Aerosols BADAD完形填空、閱讀理解課外練(十)一、完型填空二、閱讀理解APhysical fitness refers to good health, and is the result of regular exercise, proper diet and nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery. A person who is physically fit will be able to walk or run without getting breathless and he or she will be able to carry out the activities of everyday living and will not need help. How much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. A physically fit person usually has a normal weight for height. The relation between height and weight is called the Body Mass Index. A taller person can be heavier and still be fit. If a person is too heavy or too thin for the height it may affect the health. Mental health refers to a persons emotional and psychological well-being. “A state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional (feeling) abilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life.” One way to think about mental health is by looking at how well a person functions. Feeling capable and efficient, being able to handle normal levels of stress, having good friends and family, and leading an independent life, and being able to “bounce back,” or recovering from hardships, are all signs of mental health.Public Health refers to trying to stop a disease that is unhealthy to the community, and does not help in long life or promote your health. This is fixed by organized efforts and choices of society, public and private clubs, communities and individuals.It is about the health of many people, or everybody, rather than one person. Public health stops instead of encouraging a disease through surveillance (監(jiān)督) of cases. To prevent being sick, it is good to do healthy behaviors, such as hand washing, vaccination programs and so on. When infectious diseases break out, washing hands may be especially important.26.

What can promote your body health according to the passage?A. Family, society and individuals.B. Private clubs, communities and individuals.C. Regular exercise, proper diet and nutrition.D. Hand washing, vaccination and other healthy behaviors.ADDBCBIf youre someone who is eager to do something beyond the ordinary, you must have figured out by now that there will always be those who are jealous or resentful (怨恨) of your success.It doesnt matter that youve worked long and hard to get where you are, nor that youve made great sacrifices in achieving your goals. The “haters” will always find a reason to speak ill of you and even condemn you.Theyre spiteful (恨的) people who envy you the pride you have in yourself and the recognition youre receiving from others. They cant stand it that youre happy, fulfilled and achieving your goals.These hateful individuals are unwilling to do the work that youve done. They hate your success but are too lazy to invest real time or energy in achieving their own goals.The thing you need to know about these haters is that the only reason they behave this way is that you have something they want, but they arent willing to work for it.The haters are convinced that youve been lucky or that youve had some unfair advantage, but the truth is that your success is born of your untiring efforts, and its these efforts that have brought about your “l(fā)uck.”The best way to deal with haters is what I call the “one-two punch.” First, dont let them hurt you. Be happy about your success and proud of your accomplishments. Company with those who approve you, recognize
