【技巧归纳】
抓住首句, 明确论点 议论文完形填空的首句一般是主旨句,作者通常在文章的首段提出总论点,然后在每段的首句提出分论点
查找论点, 方式多样 (1)开门见山式。直接提出论点,然后用正反、对比、举例等论据加以论证,最后总结全文
(2)导入式。先通过叙述生活中的一件事情或现象,然后根据事情或现象反映的问题提出论点
(3)文末式。一开始作者只是列举生活中的现象,不表明自己的观点,而是通过对具体现象的分析,最后得出结论
注重尾段, 论点照应 议论文的尾段就是结论,也是对论点的照应,不可忽视

“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.

I used to find award show speeches inspiring when celebrities encouraged people to “chase their dreams.” However, as I grew older, I 16 the toxicity (毒性) behind this notion. Pursuing our dreams is not always easy due to various 17 . For instance, I 18 to be a singer but lacked the financial means to audition for competition shows. Later, my dream 19 to becoming a manga editor, but I faced 20 like language barriers, travel costs, and difficult exams.
Though there is hope, considering many celebrities started from humble beginnings, achieving dreams remains 21 . As someone who once had ambitious aspirations, these “chase your dreams” speeches gave me 22 hope. I take issue with such celebrity speeches because they suggest that anyone can 23 whatever they desire simply by wishing for it. 24 , reality tells us otherwise. I am not trying to be 25 , but rather realistic. Growing older has taught me that some dreams are meant to stay as dreams.
Nonetheless, I am grateful that my dream of becoming a singer did not materialize. I have found other passions — writing and editing — and 26 pursued them as a career through college. I have no regrets about this path. If we do not 27 exactly where we want to be, it is alright. Life sometimes presents obstacles that 28 us from choosing our first preference for the future. Our dreams may not always be 29 , but that does not mean good things are not in store for us. Life often takes us on different paths.

More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 31 periods.
The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 32 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure (基础设施) as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font, an expert in tourism. “For 33 , the city no longer belongs to them.”
In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance, Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 34 outside of the city center on its official website. “That takes courage, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can to 35 congestion.”
But it also proposes a better way, which is called “de-tourism”: sustainable travel tips and 36 schedules for exploring a real Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.
A greater variety of 37 for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks, or 38 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 39 the pressure, says Font. ‘If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.” Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 40 , “We should be asking how we can get tourists to 41 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behaviors with ours.”
Font says cities could stand to be more 42 about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking. ‘yeah but at what cost…’” He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(n) 43 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 44 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and spread out to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more 45 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.

David Cote, then CEO of Honeywell, shared the pros and cons of hiring a CEO with experience in the role. Experience can make directors feel more 46 at a candidate, but the question is: Does he or she have the 47 to make a difference If they don’t possess that hunger, they won’t investigate things deeply. So in many cases, experience is 48 .
Are inexperienced CEOs more likely to have hunger than others If they have no real reputation, they’ll be more likely to be driven to 49 . For example, when Cote was CEO of Honeywell, some leaders said to him they didn’t know if the company could be 50 —and that even if it could be, they weren’t sure whether he was the 51 to do it because he was not their first choice. Those comments just 52 his hunger. He decided to impress them.
Does the finding that previous CEO experience can hurt a person’s performance 53 you An experienced CEO might say, “I am 54 in this work, so I know how to settle it.” Rushing to conclusions tends to 55 an experienced CEO to all facts and opinions. People will 56 act according to their own experience, which is an instinct (天性). So sometimes experience can be a(n) 57 .
Rather than a fundamentally necessary factor for a CEO, 58 is simply the icing (糖霜) on the cake. The hunger 59 it. Nobody knows the future. It’s more important to hire somebody eager to 60 things, regardless of their experience.

If doctors lie, it is surely inexcusable. One of the basic 61 the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of doctors 62 to lying to their patients
Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and 63 to see her husband. “He’s on his way, don’t worry,” I said this to calm her down. But it was a lie. He died two years ago. The truth is that it is a 64 to lie sometimes.
Mrs. Walton is one of the dementia (痴呆) sufferers, who lose their memory of 65 events, but hold memories from the distant past. Many of them realize that the past bears little 66 to the present, but are at a loss to explain. They often feel scared that they are 67 by strange people, even when they are with their family. They look at their adult children 68 and wonder who they could be.
I have countless families not knowing how to react as their loved one moves back into distant past and they are 69 in the present. And how, as a doctor, does one manage sufferings that come with having no 70 of these patients’ life for the past ten or 20 years Maybe he can tell them lies that are not big and elaborate — they are 71 comforts intended to calm and allow the subject to be swiftly changed.
72 with them about this false reality is not unprofessional — it is actually kind. That’s not to say that lying to patients with dementia 73 is right. But what kind-hearted person would put another human being through the unimaginable pain of learning, 74 again and again, that they have lost their beloved ones. It would be an unthinkable cruelness.
Sometimes honesty is 75 not the best policy.

If you want to stand out, 10,000 hours of training will take you much further than your natural abilities. Mozart is considered by many as the greatest composer who ever lived. Traditionally, many people 76 outstanding achievements like Mozart’s are due to talent, or even inborn inspiration or 77 .
This assumption holds especially true for child prodigies (神童) like Mozart whose music talent 78 the world at the age of six. But looking more 79 at this phenomenon, we find that these individuals actually had to practice countless hours before showing their 80 remarkable talent. In fact, scientists indicate that a prodigy’s training typically 81 at a very early age, with massive time invested in practice.
For example, when the six-year-old Mozart toured Europe to 82 his brilliant piano skills, he had already 83 3,500 hours of musical training. If you compare this to other pianists who have practiced for as long, Mozart’s 84 wasn’t all that exceptional. It seems that outstanding abilities come from intensive strict practice 85 natural talents. A study shows the only factor directly 86 the students’ level of achievement was the amount of serious practice time: the most 87 performers had practiced for an average of 10,000 hours, while the least skilled had only 4,000 hours of practice. What’s even more revealing is that there were no 88 : All of the top performers had 89 great efforts to their practice. It seems that no extraordinary talent can 90 without tough practice.

【技巧归纳】
抓住首句, 明确论点 议论文完形填空的首句一般是主旨句,作者通常在文章的首段提出总论点,然后在每段的首句提出分论点
查找论点, 方式多样 (1)开门见山式。直接提出论点,然后用正反、对比、举例等论据加以论证,最后总结全文
(2)导入式。先通过叙述生活中的一件事情或现象,然后根据事情或现象反映的问题提出论点
(3)文末式。一开始作者只是列举生活中的现象,不表明自己的观点,而是通过对具体现象的分析,最后得出结论
注重尾段, 论点照应 议论文的尾段就是结论,也是对论点的照应,不可忽视
