专题06完形填空（10空）20篇
一、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
One of my students has decided to study computer science abroad. One day, I asked him why he wanted to study it. He told me he was good at it. “If you weren’t so good at it now, …” I couldn’t finish my words. He said, “That’s 1 . I always get top scores in computer science.”
This disappointed (使……失望) me. I do believe this student has the 2 to do well in computer science. However, he may not achieve anything great 3 he experiences failure (失败) first. On the one hand, failure tells us to try harder. I’ll never forget how disappointed an artist friend was when he was refused from a master’s degree program. He waited for a year or two and tried again. He finally succeeded. He knew how 4 he was and worked even harder. Soon his artwork was so popular. Later, The New York Times 5 him.
On the other hand, early success might be a setback (障碍) which we don’t realize. When I was a teenager, my teacher 6 everything I wrote, and I could get high marks on writing without really trying. By the time I got to college, I felt I had 7 to learn about writing, and I didn’t want any criticism (批评) on my writing. So I 8 courses that might have helped me improve as a writer. After college, I worked as a writer. Then, I experienced criticism and failure. That was when I began to grow.
This is not to say that early success is 9 a setback. The student who always gets top scores in computer science may continue to succeed. The 10 is that he needs to keep learning and keep challenging himself. He mustn’t rest on his laurels (荣誉).

二、Does money buy happiness
In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won the lottery (彩票) of $1.5 billion. The possible chances of winning were 1 in 302.5 million!
It’s easy to imagine what one could do with this lucky 1 , but would this money actually make someone happy Based on the 2 of several lottery winners, it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into huge sums of money can 3 a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. For example, William Post won $16.2 million in a lottery in 1998. Within three months, he was back to be broke (破产) 4 he spent a lot on worthless business. But William felt much happier without any money.
Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager who won $3 million in 2003. She treated her family and friends to lavish gifts and bought 5 designer clothes. After six years, Callie changed back to a poor teenager and 6 that money didn’t make her happy.
It’s found that these lottery winners may 7 know how to handle so much money and do not get advice from financial experts. They waste money on things they don’t need and 8 too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers find that people are happy when they are able to pay for their 9 needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. Expensive things only make people happy temporarily (暂时). Spending time with family and donating reasonable amounts of money to charities make people 10 than money does.
We can hope to suddenly come into lots of money to improve our lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.

10．A．happier B．richer C．healthier D．smarter
三、On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked quickly towards the entrance to the 1 , a man, with quite dirty hair, came up and opened the door for us.
Once inside, my kids whispered, “Mom, he smiles.” I nodded. Regardless of (不管) his appearance, the “doorman” greeted us in a(an) 2 way.
After ordering food, we sat at the window and watched other customers come to the restaurant 3 many ignored (忽视) the “doorman”. Seeing this impoliteness truly made me angry.

It was time to continue our trip. Upon seeing us, the “doorman” came up again and stretched his hand for a handshake and I 9 accepted. I noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of gratitude (感谢) .
Back in truck, I fell into deep thought. I said thanks to a man who had simply held open a door for me, and also said thanks for that chance to teach 10 by example. While we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude.

四、My teenage son, Jordan, always hated having to get home earlier than all his friends. He couldn’t understand why he was 1 seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He surely believed he was an adult, but I pointed out that he was not 2 he was still in high school.
“You don’t 3 me! I can take good care of myself!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him 4
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air could 5 my head. I opened the front door and nearly walked on her：a small black puppy (小狗), just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball, ”I said, then brought her into my home, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed very glad but after an hour or two, she barked to go back outside.
“Why does she keep barking ”Jordan came in and asked.
I told him that she was 6 here but she liked being able to play outside as she wanted.
“That must be nice, ”Jordan said in a low voice, 7 why the puppy, not him, could come and go.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, barking to go outside.
I shook my head at her and patted her, “No, you little thing, you can’t. But it’s for your own good.”
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball.
“I let her out last night…”　Jordan said. I quickly rushed outside. Jordan ran after me at once, with 8 in his eyes. Several minutes later, we found the poor thing, unsure if she was well. Jordan was scared, “We need a doctor! Now!”
Luckily, the doctor saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, John stroked her head, all tears. Then, 9 , he turned to me. He said sorry for what he had done. “I know you just want to protect me, ”he whispered. I heard him talking to Meatball, “Looks like we both have to 10 the curfew. It’s for our own good.”

五、
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed (尴尬) to be seen with my father. He could not walk well and I had to help him. When we walked together (盯) at us.
Our usual walk was to or from the underground, which was how he got to work. He almost 1 missed a day. He would go to the office 2 even if others could not. It was one of his proudest things in his life.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was 3 for him to walk a long way. On days like this, I would pull him 4 the streets on a child’s sled (雪橇) to the underground.
He never took pity on himself or envied other people who could 5 well. What he looked for in others was a good heart. To him, that 6 more than anything else.
My father still tried to do the same things that others did, even if he couldn’t do them the same way. For example, he liked to go to 7 , where he could have a good time just sitting and watching instead of dancing.
I now know he took part in some things through me, his only son. When I played basketball, he “played” too. When I joined the navy (海军), he “ 8 ” too. When I visited his office, he would introduce me, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too,if things had been different.”
He passed away many years ago. I wonder if he ever 9 that I was embarrassed to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I want to tell him how 10 I feel. I often think of him when I envy others, when I don’t have a good heart.

Lead a healthier and more active life with the new Google Fit!
It’s hard to know how much activity you need to stay healthy, isn’t it That’s 1 the workers of Google Fit have worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to bring you Heart Point.
Heart Point is an activity goal. It can help you 2 your health, and it is good for your heart. Activities that get your heart beating 3 bring great health benefits (益处) to you.

“It’s great at 8 steps. I walk about 10,000 steps every day. The app seems to record really exactly as I start and stop the workout. There are fewer records of workouts such as riding a bike. But overall, it’s a great app.” —Alan Brockett (U.S.) “Great app! It monitors activity without needing to be turned on every time. Sometimes, it doesn’t record the route accurately (准确地) and leave off certain parts. However, it’s 9 my favourite fitness app.” —Joshua Via (Canada) “I like this app!

I live on the coast with beautiful sandy beaches. It’s the perfect 1 for my favourite hobby—making sand sculptures. I’d never thought of making sand sculptures before 2 some fantastic ones appeared all along the beach. Beautiful buildings and lovely animals were all made of sand. From that moment, I knew that this was something I just had to do, though I’d never considered myself to be a(n) 3 .
In fact, anyone can create a sand sculpture, but it’s much harder than it looks. The first sand sculpture I tried making was a two-metre long dolphin. I was making 4 on it until suddenly the head started to break off! I tried everything to 5 it, but it was hopeless. Soon the whole thing was a big pile of sand. Some people nearby seemed to think this was quite funny, but that just made me keep trying even 6 . I wished I’d listened to an expert (专家) on YouTube who recommends digging up 7 sand and to use it to build the sand sculptures because it sticks together better. So, I did that for my next sculpture of a camel. And I 8 to complete it in four hours, though it didn’t take me that long to make.
People say that making sand castles is for kids, not adults, but that doesn’t bother (困扰) me at all. Many people don’t understand that even a 9 touch can make a sand sculpture fall off. Of course, heavy rain can do some damage (损坏), but not as much as you might think. If you build far enough up the beach, the sea water won’t 10 a sand sculpture away either. So, when you’re next at the seaside, make one yourself—you’ll get a great sense of achievement!

After a while, a man said, “Zhao will travel to Yuhang in Zhejiang province. He will 4 visit Lingyan Temple because it is very famous.” He continued, “Let’s do something before he 5 .”
Finally they came up with a good 6 . There was a wall in the temple for people to write. So they invited a man to write only two lines of poems on the wall.

十六、No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own effort.
I learned this lesson from a(n) 1 many years ago. I worked as a new football coach (教练) at a university in State of Georgia.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team in the club to play against a 2 team at the end of the term. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game. Being the coach of the new team, I helped them practice once a week and I thought we were sure to 3 , but to my surprise, we lost the game. I could 4 believe that I had got into such a situation. After thinking hard about it, I came to realize that I might be too 5 about ourselves. I had to change my attitude (态度) and the way of training.
Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 6 them. I started doing anything I could to help them. That summer, when other teams 7 their holidays, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football.
Six months later, we won our first game and our second, and continued to head in. Finally, I thought even if we lost the game, it would still be a 8 for us. But that didn’t happen. My boys beat the best team in the state, giving me one of the 9 memories of my life!

十八、In the corner of my desk is a note, which is slowly turning yellow from time. It is a 1 from my mother, with only four sentences, but with enough influence to change my life forever.
In it, she praises my abilities as a writer. Each sentence is full of 2 . The word “but” never appears on the card. However, the word “and” is there many times. Every time I read it. I ask myself how many times I’ve said “but” to my own daughters.
Although our eldest daughter 3 got all “A”s on her report card, teachers would always suggest that she 4 too much in class. I always forgot to ask them if she was improving. 4 , I would greet her with, “Congratulations! Your Dad and I are very 5 , but could you try to talk less in class ”
The same was true of our younger daughter. Like her sister, she is a lovely and bright child. She also thinks of the floor of her room as a closet (壁橱) which has often caused me to say. “Yes, that project is great, but 6 up your room!”
What I learned from my mother is to start thinking “and, and, and” instead. The fact is that “but” feels bad, “and” feels good. When our children feel 7 about what they are doing, they do more of it.
This is not to say that children don’t need or won’t pay attention to their parents’ 8 . They do and they will. When those wishes are positive (积极的), amazing things happen.
It’s not 9 just to say we love our children. We’re also going to have to start guiding and taking part in what is right with our children.

十九、Dear Dad,
