2024届 高考英语 二轮复习 完形填空 专题练习（含解析）

Passage 1
“What do you want to be when you grow up？” When I was a kid, I __1__ the question. Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn't dreaming of becoming something grand or __2__ , like an astronaut.
Now, as an organizational psychologist, my job is to fix other people's jobs, and I've come to believe that asking youngsters that question does them __3__．
My first complaint about the question is that it __4__ kids to define themselves in terms of work. If we define ourselves by our jobs, our __5__depends on what we achieve. So when you are asked what you want to be, it's not socially __6__ to say “A father” or “A mother”， let alone “A person of integrity”．
The second __7__ is the implication that there is one calling (职业) out there for everyone. Research shows that __8__ one leaves students feeling lost and __9__. After all, not everyone has that talent for grand jobs.
If you manage to __10__ the above barriers, there is a third hurdle (难关): careers rarely live up to your childhood __11__. In one study, looking for a(n) __12__ job left college seniors feeling more anxious and less satisfied with the __13__. As Tim Urban writes, happiness is reality minus expectations. It's clear how expectations __14__ our perceived happiness. If you are looking for extreme happiness, you're bound to be disappointed.
Asking kids what they want to be leads them to __15__ a career identity they might never want to earn. Instead, invite them to think about the different things they might want to do.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。询问孩子长大之后想成为什么是对孩子有害的。文章从三方面论述了这一观点。作者建议，不要问孩子这个问题，而是要邀请孩子想想他们可能想做的其他事情。
1．答案与解析：B　根据下文中的“Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn't dreaming of becoming something grand or... like an astronaut.”可知，成年人对作者的回答总是感到失望。所以作者很害怕被问到这个问题。consider考虑；fear害怕；explain解释；recall回想起。
2．答案与解析：C　根据下文中的like an astronaut可知，宇航员属于伟大的或英雄般的人物。average平均的，普通的；humble谦卑的，谦虚的；heroic英雄的，英勇的；romantic浪漫的。
3．答案与解析：A　根据下文中的“My first complaint about the question...”可知，作者对这个问题心存抱怨。由此推知，这个问题对孩子们来说并不好，会对他们造成伤害。harm伤害；good益处；wrong坏事，冤枉；honour荣誉。
4．答案与解析：A　根据上一题的解析和空前的“My first complaint about the question...”可知，这个问题对孩子们有害。当问孩子们长大之后的梦想的时候，孩子们会被迫从工作的角度来定义自己。force强迫，迫使；trouble使烦恼；command命令；forbid禁止。
5．答案与解析：C　根据上文“If we define ourselves by our jobs...”可以推知，如果我们用工作来定义自己，那么，我们在工作中取得的成就会决定我们的个人价值。status地位；experience经历，经验；worth价值；fame名声。
6．答案与解析：D　当你被问到你想成为什么人时，说“一个父亲”或“一个母亲”是不被社会接受的，更不用说“一个正直的人”了。reject拒绝；accurate精确的；confirmed坚定的，被证实的；acceptable可接受的。
7．答案与解析：D　第二个问题是，这暗示着每个人都有一个职业。thought想法，思想；division除法，分配；assumption假设，认为；problem问题。
8．答案与解析：B　根据下文中的“...not everyone has that talent for grand jobs.”可知，对伟大职业的寻求会让学生感到困惑。pick up捡起；search for寻找，搜寻；pray for祈求，恳求；take over接管。
9．答案与解析：D　研究表明，寻找一个伟大的职业让学生感到迷失和困惑。bored厌烦的；impatient不耐烦的；intolerant无法忍受的；confused困惑的。
10．答案与解析：D　根据空前的manage to和后面的there is a third hurdle（难关）可知，该处应该指即使你成功克服了前面提到的两个障碍，这里还有第三个障碍。strengthen增强；control控制；build建造；overcome克服。
11．答案与解析：C　根据前文提到的问题“What do you want to be when you grow up？”可知，孩子们小时候经常被问到自己长大后的理想。但是长大之后做的职业很难符合童年的理想，即童年的雄心壮志。effort努力；struggle奋斗，难事；ambition野心，雄心；gain好处。
12．答案与解析：A　根据后面的left college seniors feeling more anxious and less satisfied可知，大四学生都想找一份理想的工作。但是找理想的工作不容易，所以他们感到焦虑和不满意。ideal理想的；permanent永久的；ordinary普通的；specific特定的，明确的。
13．答案与解析：B　根据前文的“...careers rarely live up to your childhood...”可知，大四学生找不到理想的工作，无法实现童年时的职业理想，学生们对这样的结果感到焦虑和不满意。benefit益处，好处；outcome结果；solution解决办法；truth真相，事实。
14．答案与解析：D　根据上文中的happiness is reality minus expectations可知，幸福感是现实减去期望值，即期望值会影响幸福感。boost推动，使增长；contain包含，抑制；guarantee保证，确保；affect影响。
15．答案与解析：B　上文介绍了问孩子“长大之后想成为什么”这个问题所产生的三方面的危害。由此推知，问孩子这个问题会导致孩子获得一种他们可能永远都不想获得的职业身份。该空和后面的earn一致。refuse拒绝；claim获得，声称，索要；keep保持；ignore忽略，忽视。
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者小时候因佩戴助听器以及说话方式与其他人不同而常常遭到同学们的嘲笑，因此一直处于自卑之中。作者上五年级时，一位老师的简单赞扬改变了作者的世界。
1．答案与解析：B　由下文老师三个字的肯定让作者的生活发生了巨大的变化可知，一些我们认为很“小的”举动能影响到他人的人生。
2．答案与解析：A　由第四段中的all of that和最后一段中提到的作者此后的巨大变化可知，这里是说可以“完全”改变别人的人生。completely“完全地”；suddenly“突然地”；quickly“迅速地”；simply“简单地”。
3．答案与解析：B　由第四题后的my hearing aid可知，作者是学校里唯一一个“失聪的”孩子。
4．答案与解析：D　由第三段第一句中的When the other kids laughed at me可知，学校里的其他孩子“取笑”作者。
5．答案与解析：C　由下一段作者觉得自己不如其他孩子聪明可知，他在学习中也遇到了“困难”。
6．答案与解析：D　由下一句中的I saw myself as a boy who wasn't smart enough可知，作者认为自己“很笨”。
7．答案与解析：C　由下文可知，在作者答对了问题后，乔丹夫人表扬了作者，正是这只有三个词的表扬“改变”了作者的世界。
8．答案与解析：B　乔丹夫人是在教室上课，所以此处指她问了“全班”一个问题。
9．答案与解析：D　由接下来作者描写的自己当时的心理活动及下文的my fears可知，当乔丹夫人叫作者回答的时候，作者感到害怕，故选afraid。
10．答案与解析：C　作者想以自己的行动向乔丹夫人“表明”一点：他值得她喜爱。
11．答案与解析：B　由下文作者对乔丹夫人所做动作的描述可知，此处指作者永远也不会忘记接下来所“发生”的事情。
12．答案与解析：A　由该空前的with sparkling eyes and a wide smile可知，乔丹夫人极力想表达一种兴奋的心情，所以她应是“大声说出”这三个词，以使全班的学生都能听到，故选A。
13．答案与解析：D　因为当时是在上课，所以作者回答完问题后，应是“坐在”座位上，故选D。
14．答案与解析：C　从那之后，作者的成绩和语言表达能力都大大地“提高”了。benefit“受益”；miss“想念；漏掉；错过”；improve“提高”；recover“恢复”。
15．答案与解析：B　由倒数第二段讲述的乔丹夫人的举动和话语可知，此处指她信任作者并敢于把对作者的信任及表扬清楚地“表达”出来。
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章告诉我们：每一个人都有其长处和优势，当我们用心去发现的时候，就会看到闪光的东西。
1．答案与解析：D　他在一个洞穴里“发现”了一个帆布袋子。
2．答案与解析：C　句中bake的意思是“烤，烘”，联系该词可知应该是放在“阳光”下面。light“光线”；shade“阴影”；sand“沙子”，都不符合逻辑。
3．答案与解析：A　它们看上去没有什么特别，但是却“引起了这个人的兴趣”，interest的意思和语境相符。很明显，文章中并不是“打扰”“使失望”或“使满意”之意，故选A。
4．答案与解析：D　前面提到他往海里扔泥球，由此可知，他是尽可能地扔很“远”。其余选项与文意不符。
5．答案与解析：A　文中多次提到treasure等相关信息，所以此处指“贵重的”宝石。选项中special和common的意思在这里不合适，而语境中也不是强调价格，故D项也不对。
6．答案与解析：C　联系上一段中的he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock可知，泥球里“含有”宝石。本题易误选A。cover“覆盖”，但由语境可知，这里不表示“覆盖”之意。
7．答案与解析：B　由上文中的the remaining clay balls等信息可知，这里指他“剩下的”泥球。
8．答案与解析：A　It strikes sb.that...意为“某人猛地意识到……”他猛然意识到他扔掉了许多个泥球。很明显，语境中不是“改变”“提醒”或“借用”之意。
9．答案与解析：D　“不是”数千美元的财宝，而是会有数万的财宝带回家。instead of“代替；而不是”符合文意。
10．答案与解析：B　由下文中的someone等信息可知，这里说的是“人们也像这个样子”。联系文意，此处不是指“生活”“工作”或“学习”。
11．答案与解析：A　它并不总是美丽或闪闪发光的，所以我们“忽视”了。ignore“疏忽，忽略”符合文意。其余选项和语境不符。
