课件127张PPT。专题二 完形填空 完形填空涉及的知识面很广,旨在测试考生的阅读理解能力和综合运用 语言的能力。不仅要求考生具有扎实的英语基础知识,还要求考生具备较强 的综合理解能力和语言运用能力。
完形填空可分为:1.记叙文;2.夹叙夹议文;3.议论文;4.说明文。 (1)重首句,易入题
完形填空的题眼往往出现在文章的开头。通过把握首句,可以确定文章的话题、主题、背景、人物、时间、地点、事件等,从而把握文章的发展方向,达 到顺利“入题”的目的。
(2)寻复现,找答案
完形填空选项的设置,命题人往往通过原词复现、同根词复现、同义词复现、近义词复现、上下词复现等方式重现已经出现过的词汇。做题时, 在把语篇和语境的前提下,应留心选项中是否有与上下文中的词汇相对应的词汇,运用词汇复现技巧快速锁定答案。典例1 After spotting a 18???? on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19????

He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22???? a note behind to let the owner know it was safe...18.A.wallet B.bag C.box D.parcel
答案????A解析 考查原词复现。由After hours in the cold and wet, he 20????inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID可知,Tom Smith发现一辆汽车的前 排座上有一个钱包。当时这辆车停在那儿,窗户摇了下来。A选项正确。19.A.partner B.colleague ????
C.owner D.policeman答案????C解析 考查原词复现。由He then took the wallet to a nearby police station af- ter 22???? a note behind to let the owner know it was safe...可知Tom Smith发 现钱包后没有拿走而是冒雨等待车主回来。典例2 For a long time Gabriel didn't want to be involved in music at all. In his first years of high school, Gabriel would look pityingly at the music students, ???? 36???? across the campus with their heavy instrument cases, 37???? at school for practice hours 38????anyone else had to be there. He swore to himself to 39???? music, as he hated getting to school extra early.

解析 考查原词复现。根据“For a long time Gabriel didn't want to be in- volved in music at all. In his first years of high school, Gabriel would look pity- ingly at the music students,...”可知,不学音乐的学生对学音乐的学生投去同 情的目光,故选pitying。(3)看语境,辨词义
完形填空的四个选项词性相同,意义相近。如果脱离语境或只看句子的部 分,可能会有两个或两个以上的答案。做题时,要从整体上把握文章内容,区分文章的结构层次和逻辑关系,同时认真比较所给选项,从中选出最佳答案。典例3 Raynor Winn and her husband Moth became homeless due to their wrong investment.

(4)析逻辑,索答案
完形填空中有些题目侧重考查对人物话语逻辑性的精准判断以及对特殊语境下的情绪演变、行为态度、语言褒贬和方式转变的理解判断。常见的命题方式包括心理揣测、动作交互、因果关系、转折关系、让步关系、递进关系、对比关系等。解决此类问题时要关注连词的功能、词语的多义性、词语的情感色彩和动作发生的先后,借助具体语境和人物的特定身份,顺着原文的思路,依据上下文进行合乎逻辑的推断。典例4???? 49????, the couple found that their bodies turned for the better, with re- found strong muscles that they thought had 50???? forever. “Our hair was fried and falling out, nails broken, clothes 51???? to a thread, but we were alive.”49.A.Initially B.Eventually C.Temporarily D.Consequently答案????B
解析????最终,这对夫妇发现他们的身体变得好多了。initially 最初;eventually 最终;temporarily 暂时地;consequently结果。 (5)据搭配,知答案
完形填空中,有时会涉及短语,以动词短语为主,偶见介词短语等。解题时,、可以通过仔细观察和回忆所学知识,进行有效推断,选择正确答案。典例5 Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32???? money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000.32.A.borrow B.raise C.save D.earn答案????B
解析 考查固定搭配。raise money 筹钱。Anderson先生在网上发起为Tom 和其他无家可归的人筹钱的活动。 (6)重平行,觅逻辑
文章中的意群总是通过一定的逻辑关系连在一起,特别是并列平行的结
构。这些结构要么通过标点符号体现,要么通过并列连词连接。一般来说,这些平行结构所表达的语境是一致的,考生解题时要特别注意这一点。典例6 After hours in the cold and wet, he 20???? inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系)the driver, only to 21???? it contained ￡400 in notes, with another ￡50 in spare change beside it.
21.A.discover B.collect C.check D.believe答案????A
解析 discover发现;collect收集;check核对,检查;believe相信。Tom将钱包拿 出来希望找到钱包的主人的身份证明,结果他却发现钱包里装着￡400的纸 币和￡50的零钱。此处对应前面的find,应选择discover。 (7)依常识,定答案
完形填空虽然是独立的语篇,但有时会渗透很多科技文化、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。同学们在做题时如果能积极主动地调动自己已有的文 化背景和生活常识,特别是注意中西文化的差异并巧妙加以利用,将会有效简化分析与判断过程,节省宝贵时间,取得“事半功倍”的效果。典例7 “Our hair was fried and falling out, nails broken, clothes 51????to a thread, but we were alive.”51.A.sewn B.washed C.worn D.ironed答案????C
解析 我们的头发被晒坏了并开始脱落,指甲破裂,衣衫破烂不堪,但是我们 还活着。sew缝纫;wash洗;wear磨损,磨坏;iron熨平。根据本句前部分的描述 可知此处描述衣衫破烂。 (8)破难句,解句意
完形填空的文章中会出现一些长句或难句,而它们往往会影响一些选项的选择。这时就要在理解上下文逻辑关系的基础上有针对性地对句子结构、句 子特点进行分析,准确理解句意,明确所填选项在句中的语法功能,从而做出正
确判断。典例8 To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 26???? he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in.26.A.when B.if C.where D.because答案????A
解析 虽然Tom本来可以偷了钱去支付一个可以睡觉的地方,但他仍然选择 了露宿街头(没有偷钱)。when虽然,然而;if如果;where表地点;because因为。
(9)巧排除,降难度
在掌握文章大意和细节的前提下,考生可以通过试填选项选出最符合语
境、最衔接语义的选项,这种解题方法被称为“排除错项”。典例9????(2018课标全国Ⅱ)I took off my T-shirt and 49???? into the water. I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying across the middle.49.A.started B.sank C.dived D.fell答案????C解析 要救那位遇险者,作者需要脱掉衣服,然后“潜入(dived into)”水里,故 选C。stare盯着看,目不转睛地看,凝视;sink下沉,沉没;dive潜水,跳水;fall落 下。考点1 记叙文 记叙文型完形填空可分为叙事和记人两种形式,它们有几个显著的特点: 以一般过去时为主,其他时态为辅;大量使用动词;适当出现直接引语。

11????, the two zookeepers didn't want to see the extinction(灭绝) of this
precious species. With their patience and efforts, they successfully developed a

Cloze 1(2019江苏泰州一模)
Julie was one of my favorite students at the University of Nebraska. I remem- bered her coming to me after class one day. While most students hurriedly left,
Julie 1???? to ask questions about the next week's exam.
Julie never 2???? it to the exam, though. The day after our conversation, she
was tragically struck by a truck.
In Julie's ward, her parents stood in quiet 3????. The physician entered, cleared his 4????, and said, “Your Julie has only a few 5???? to live.” He felt the 6???? to ask, “Would you consider donating some of her organs?”
7????, in a neighboring state, Mary leaned forward, her eyes following
every movement of her child. She was 8???? memories to enjoy when she could no longer 9???? him.
Several states away, John, 26, was reading to his sons, his body connected to
a life-giving “artificial kidney”. Doctors had given him a 10???? of only weeks to live. His only hope was a kidney transplant.
Julie's grief-stricken parents 11???? the physician's question in their mind. Julie had once said she wanted to be an organ donor 12???? her death. 13???? as they were, they turned to the physician, responding, “Yes. Julie always gave to others
while living. She would want to give in death.”
Within 24 hours, Mary was informed she would receive one of Julie's eyes,
and John was told to prepare for a kidney transplant. Julie's other organs would give
life and 14???? to other waiting recipients.
“Julie died right after her twentieth birthday. My heart breaks again and again, at each birthday, at each 15????, when she might have graduated; when she might have married...” says Julie's mother. “But Julie's life was a 16???? to us. Knowing that in her death, she gave life and sight to others is 17???? to us, and remembering that we carried out her 18???? has helped us 19???? the loss of her.” I may have had a small part in teaching Julie how to live. But she, and her
family, are still teaching me an even greater lesson—how to 20????.

2.B 上文提到Julie问考试的事情,但是她却没能参加考试。就在我们谈话后 的一天,她不幸被一辆卡车撞了。get获得;take拿;deserve值得,应得。make it to...为固定搭配,意为“成功到达……”,故选B项。3.D 女儿躺在病房内,伤势很重,所以她的父母感到绝望。embarrassment尴 尬;shock震惊; disbelief不信;desperation绝望,符合语境,故选D项。
4.C 医生进了病房,要公布一个不好的消息,说话之前先清清嗓子。hand手; mind思维;throat 喉咙;pocket口袋。clear one's throat清了清嗓子,符合语境,故 选C项。
5.B 后文提及医生征求父母意见,是否愿意捐赠Julie的部分器官,说明Julie 的生命只剩几个小时了。month月;hour小时;minute分钟;week周。故选B 项。6.C 由于时间紧迫,需要病人家属给出答复,所以医生也就坦率地问家属是否愿意捐赠器官。urge 冲动;pressure压力;freedom自由;pride自豪。医生在说话前清了清嗓子,并不是他喉咙真的不舒服,只是觉得说不出口捐赠器官的事情。既然已经说了Your Julie has only a few hours to live,那么说第二句就不觉得像说第一句那么卡了。feel the freedom to do sth. 相当于feel free to do sth.。故选C项。
7.B 在医生征求Julie父母意见的同时,在附近的一个州,Mary在看她孩子的 每一个动作。however然而;meanwhile同时;anyhow尽管如此;somewhat 有 点。meanwhile表示相同的时间段,另一件事正在发生。此处作者通过插叙 的手法写另一条线:Mary正在与眼疾作斗争,她需要移植眼角膜。故选B项。8.D Mary在努力储存对儿子的记忆,这样到失明的时候还能回味。call up (给某人)打电话;pick up拾起;set up建立;store up储存,符合语境,故选D项。

12.B Julie父母之所以同意捐赠Julie的器官,是尊重她的意愿,因为她曾说过, 如果她去世了,她想成为一名器官捐赠者。by virtue of凭借;in the event of万 一,倘若;on account of 由于;for fear of 担心,害怕。故选B项。
13.A 女儿即将去世,这对做父母的来说是一件非常痛苦的事情。但是他们 作出了答复,决定捐赠女儿的器官。miserable 痛苦的;hesitant犹豫的;passion- ate 热诚的;motivated 积极的,主动的。11空前的grief-stricken也给了暗示,故 选A项。14.B 24小时内,Mary被告知可以做角膜移植手术,而John 被告知可以做肾 移植手术。除此以外,Julie的其他器官给其他接受器官者带来了生命和光 明。happiness幸福;sight视力;encouragement鼓励;promise承诺。根据17空前 的she gave life and sight to others可知,sight符合语境。故选B项。

18.C 根据第六段第二句Julie had once said she wanted to be an organ donor in the event of her death.可知,器官捐赠是Julie生前的一个愿望。arrangement 安排;expectation期望;wish愿望;value价值。carry out wishes实现愿望,符合语 境。故选C项。19.B 实现孩子的愿望也能帮助父母度过失去孩子后的痛苦时光。over在 ……期间;beyond 越过;with 随着。help sb. through帮助某人渡过……,符合语 境,故选B项。
20.D 作为老师我可能只教给Julie一点点怎样活着,而她和她的家人给我上 了更重要的一课——如何才能死得更有意义。give给;sacrifice牺牲;help帮 助;die死。此处与上句的how to live对应,故选D项。Cloze 2(2019江苏宿迁一模)

When I was 13 years old, I stopped speaking. I’m still not exactly sure 1????
—I think I felt that words got me into trouble. The boys in my class were always
2???? me, telling me to shut up. One day, I 3???? into uncontrollable sobs behind

So throughout my 4????, I clammed up—dealing with the wider world only in

Then, at 15, a psychologist saw 7????in me—she said I was intelligent but 8????, and needed to change schools for a fresh start. My parents sent me to a different comprehensive. I knew no one and I had the chance to 9????myself. Cheered by the psychologist's 10????in me, I worked hard and became a swot (勤奋的人). As a result, my parents were 11????. Final- ly at 20, I was referred to a psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with a mild form of autism (自闭症). It was such a(n) 12????to know what was happening that I
cried on the bus on the way home.
It took a further five years to 13????again, a decision that was as much a surprise to me as it was to everyone else. I 14????myself hard, becoming more confident. Gradually, I 15????my speech. I definitely get more than usual pleasure from the use of 16????. It's still such a fresh experience for me 17????different words—ones that can sound so complex, and carry so much 18????.

I was holding her hand when the man in the white coat came in. 1???? both sets of X-rays high, he said seriously: Her lungs were filling up with fluid (液体). This meant that 2???? I would need to consult with specialists, and stop whatever

4????, this doctor seemed to have another plan. He began speaking to me about “quality of life”. He gave me a list of my mother's 5???? and then concluded that they added up to the 6???? of her life.

A young nurse stopped me just before the doctor appeared: “You know, I

“What‘s all this tree-planting for?” I was asked when I began writing
about ? ?1??? a piece of land I had bought in Somerset. The truth is that I just love
trees. And I am not 2????. “As I get older, all I really 3???? is to plant trees,” Prince Charles says in a BBC documentary in which he is 4???? in the wood he planted on the day Prince George was born. There are 5???? and wonderful trees in our cities and villages. They were

support that the Woodland Trust (a woodland conservation charity) 11????.
Trees need 12????, which is why I, a city resident, bought my Somerset wood- land in 1999. At that time, climate change was already well proved, 13???? myhopes of planting long-lived oaks and pines gradually developed into anxiety about their 14????. Tree diseases new to the UK, wind, drought and flood were all 15???? against them.
But I did not 16???? things to move so fast. The woodland is still good; the new trees are growing like mad, but the creatures are 17????. The rabbits have disap- peared and the owl has moved. The bees and butterflies are 18???? there but in
smaller numbers. How can this happen on land 19???? pesticides (杀虫剂)? Surely, it indicates we need to give nature the chance to restore its own 20????.

Just several days ago, a violent storm hit our community. I looked out of the window and witnessed a tree being 1???? by the fierce winds. The branches bent, and swayed back and forth, thanks to their 2???? to avoid breaking. The leaves

[语篇解读] 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者看到大树遭遇强风暴时,虽 然树枝摇摆弯曲,树叶飘落,甚至根部的泥土都有些松动,但是泥土深处的强 劲根部,不仅给大树输送养分,还保持了大树的稳定性,使其在狂风肆虐之下 得以生存。作者由此联想到人生,当我们遇到残酷的挑战时,应该像大树那 样,从根部树立坚定的信念和勇往直前的勇气,坚韧不拔,不被困难打倒。
1.B 我向窗外望去,看见一棵树被狂风肆虐着。crush压坏,压碎;break破碎; remove去除,移开;abuse虐待,摧残,符合语境,因此B项正确。2.C 树枝弯曲,来回摇晃,多亏了它们的柔韧性,才得以避免折断。height高 度;thickness厚度;flexibility柔韧性;outline轮廓。因此C项正确。
3.B 树叶紧紧附在树枝上,因为它们的生命依赖树。answer for对……负责; cater for迎合;touch on谈及,提及;depend on依赖,取决于。
4.A tie打结,系住;pull拉;raise提升,养育,均与句意不符;hold使保持,hold sth. upright使……挺立,故A项正确。
5.D 强壮的树干在与狂风抗争,努力维持这棵树原来的位置,不被吹倒。 achieve实现;reach到达;establish建立;maintain保持。maintain its position保持 自己的位置,因此D项正确。6.C 风暴过后,这棵树不再弯曲,恢复了它原先的姿态,在一片混乱中优雅地 挺立着。current现在的;final最终的;original最初的,原来的;comfortable舒适 的。return to its original position 恢复了它原来的姿态,因此C项正确。
7.D 它努力在风暴中生存下来。explore探索;avoid避免;chase追逐;survive 幸存,存活。根据句意,可知D项正确。
8.A 重要的是,这棵树赢得了这场生存之战。count重要;differ不同;concern 关心;reveal揭露。故A项正确。
9.D 很长一段时间,我都不明白为什么这棵树吸引了我的注意。catch one's attention为固定搭配,意为“吸引某人的注意”,故D 项正确。10.B 随着时间的推移,原因变得很明显了,引起我注意的不仅仅是树本身, 还包括它的根,虽然看不见,却深深地扎根于地下,给树提供稳定性(使树牢固 地站立)和养分。strange奇怪的,陌生的;obvious明显的;possible可能的;rea- sonable合理的。符合语境,故B 项正确。
11.D 随着时间的推移,原因变得很明显了,引起我注意的不仅仅是树本身, 还包括它的根,虽然看不见,却深深地扎根于地下,给树提供稳定性(使树牢固 地站立)和养分。surroundings环境;resource资源;probability可能性;stability稳 定性。结合文意,大树的根深扎于地下,使得大树不被吹倒,即给大树提供了 稳定性,故D项正确。12.A 树根允许树能够经受挫折,因为有树根在支持它。take a beating受打 击,经受挫折,因此A项正确。
13.B 作者由树想到了自己,问自己的“根”有多深。人和树一样,也有 “根”,因此作者觉得以后不论遇到什么挫折,都要回归自己的根。两句之间 存在因果关系,therefore因此,符合语境,故选B项。however然而;nevertheless 然而;besides除了。
14.A 此处作者在列举一些人生的不如意,当你发现孩子行为不端时。mis- behave行为不端;struggle斗争;withdraw撤回,撤销;misunderstand误解。因此A 项正确。15.C 当你的工资过低而你的钱又很紧张时。security安全;deadline最后期 限;money钱;community社区。根据上下文语境可知,money与前面的单词un- derpaid相对应,因此C项正确。
16.C 人生充满暴风雨。surprise惊喜;choice选择;storm暴风雨;change改 变。此处暴风雨是指人生当中的一些挫折,可知C项正确。
17.B 它们会使你摇摆,使你弯曲,使你失去一些叶子,但是你的根越深,你站 得越稳。smile微笑;bend弯曲;hesitate犹豫;advance前进。因此B项符合语境。
18.B????面对挑战,你可能会弯曲,但是不会折断。opportunity机会;challenge挑 战;task任务;difference不同。因此B项正确。19.C 无论风吹得多么强烈,都不要让生活逼迫自己处于不舒服的境地。 force sb. into为固定短语,意为“强迫某人进入……”,因此 C项正确。
20.D 像上文提到的那棵树一样,抗击风暴的力量来自它的根。你的抗击挫 折的力量也来自根。courage勇气;ambition野心,雄心;value价值;strength力量, 力气。所以D项正确。Cloze 3(2018浙江)

In a fast-paced world driven by noise, excitement, and continuous connections due to technology, I think we've lost a(n) 1???? for something essential to the human experience:Quiet.
I'm not talking about the library style version of soft whispers, but about the
soul-defining quiet of introspection(自省), of solitude and of being 2????.
This past weekend, I found myself glued to my computer screen in a flurry (忙

Like so many evenings, the call of the internet had 5???? me in, and the beautiful July night in Pennsylvania was 6????—until my husband stepped in and reminded me that there's more to life than noises, likes and followers.
We got into our truck and drove ten minutes to a local state park, a place that has 7????our different stages of life through the years. Phones and computers 8????, we spent the evening in nature, enjoying simple scenes and 9???? in the quiet of the setting.
Gone were the rings of notifications, the honking horns of cars flying by, and the 10???? of YouTube videos. In their place, a silence 11???? something we both know but sometimes lose 12???? of:Life's quiet, simple moments are sometimes the most beautiful. In these peaceful moments, I found a(n) 13???? with nature and with my hus- band. I found a reminder that there is a world 14???? the computer and the 15 ???? of our fast-paced life.
16????, I was reminded that in these quiet moments, we were able to hear the most important voice:our own.
Our world 17???? constant attention and engagement. We become so 18???? to constantly connecting and engaging with others that we fail to appreciate some- thing 19????to our happiness:our inner voice.

The rollercoaster I rode 2???? you round quite fast. It was, however, a bit too
3???? for me. I'd have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn't ride it, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have ????4????.
I wasn't nervous. I was securely 5????, so I knew I wouldn't fall out. The roller- coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and I 6???? every second. Later,someone came to 7???? me with the Guinness World Records certificate.
My 8???? ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-bucket
challenge. My great-granddaughter recommended me to have a bucket of 9????

in the world to do it, and the video clip of me was very 11????. After that, I started
to think about what else I could do for different 12????. My family say I'm crazy,
but they always go along with me. I do get people 13???? I take it easy, but I'm not taking any 14????.
If someone now broke my world record, I'd say, “Good luck to you.” But thereal 15???? is not what I've done;it's how hard I've always worked. I'm taking it easy now, so I have found a new challenge. I was suspended on a rope from a crane about 25 feet high and 16???? myself down. It was fun.
I've got a few ideas for the next charity challenge on my 106th birthday, but nothing has been 17???? yet. All I can say is that it will be 18???? good, if not better than the rollercoaster.

Like many perfectionists, I truly believed that self-sufficiency was a virtue.
And 1???? my brain was so good at finding what it was looking for, I noticed every single time that idea got proved 2????, and so I always had lots of 3???? that it really was better if I just handled everything myself.

Artist Company, I found myself 7???? everything I could about websites,copywriting, graphic design, etc. Later whenever one of my business friends 8????
about how her website was being held hostage to her designer, I 9???? felt too satisfied. 10????if mistakes were made in my business, they were all mine.
Now this was where my false 11???? showed up—in not wanting others to
Know I made mistakes. If I had other people 12???? me, they would see my errors
and 13????. Working alone, I could keep up a pretty good display of 14????.
But as the Organized Artist Company became increasingly 15????, I realized I was doing harm to the people I was trying to serve by attempting to do every- thing myself. I was 16???? my growth and the depth of my work. I had built a business with my own two hands, and I 17???? with a business
that I could hold in my own two hands. It was cozy, 18???? limited in scope (范围).
Once I was willing to control my ego (自负) and admitted that my vision of
self-sufficiency was a 19????, my business took a remarkable leap forward, and rev- enue 20????. Little change, big difference. 1.A.while B.since C.before D.until

In case you missed it, a video last week showed a miniature horse eating a bowl of carrots—from a high chair. A high chair. Yes, really.
It might seem 1????, but it might also be the logical extension of the grow-
ing???2??? of treating animals as humans and treating pets as children. Examples of
this attitude are 3????, and range from the innocent to the near-crazy. Some people even 4???? their pets for Halloween or create social media accounts for them. Should this cause 5?????Should we just smile and nod when people treat their pets as such?Should we shrug off the Facebook page “Animals Are People Too” and “My Child Has Four Paws”? No. 6???? animals aren't people. And pets aren't children.
There seems to be confusion about the 7???? between pets and children. People 8???? the language of parenthood when talking to their “fur kid” or “fur ba- by”. Of course, it's one thing to use such language lightly, as an innocent ex- pression of love or a(n) 9???? of the great joy and deep bonds that pets, like chil- dren, can create. It's quite another to use this language 10????.
Words 11????. Using inaccurate labels for things doesn't just blur (模糊) the very real lines between pets and people;it can lead to dangerous delusions (错觉). What if a woman 12???? having a baby won't be much different from being a “mom” to a
dog? “Pet parents” point out that they do everything 13???? parents do—feed, bathe, clean up, care for and love their “children”. 14????, all these actions form only

18.A 人们害怕离开自己的房子,因为虽然警察被要求随时待命,以防突发事 件,但他们也像其他人一样疑惑和无助。for 表示原因,and 表示并列关系,but 表示转折,or 表示选择。结合上下文,此处填入 for 最合适。

Whenever Michael Carl, the fashion market director at Vanity Fair, goes out to dinner with friends, he plays something called the “phone stack” game:Everyone
1???? their phones in the middle of the table;whoever looks at their device before

Brandon Holley, the former editor of Lucky magazine, had trouble 3???? her i- Phone when she got home from work. So about six months ago, she 4????
putting her phone into a milk tin the moment she walked in it remains there until after dinner. And Marc Jacobs, the fashion designer, didn't 5???? to sleep close to a beeping gadget. So, he 6???? digital devices from his bedroom—a house rule he 7???? with audiences during a recent screening of “Disconnect”, a film that drama- tizes how technology has alienated (使疏远)people from one another.
As smartphones 8???? to make their way into our lives, and wearable devices like Google Glass 9???? our personal space even further, overtaxed users are ex- ploring their own device-free zones. Whether it's a physical barrier(no iPads at
the dinner table) or a conceptual one (turn off devices by 11 p.m.), users say these
disconnecting 10 are improving their relationships—and 11???? their brains. “Disconnecting is a luxury that we all 12????,” said Lesley M. M. Blume, a New York writer who keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home. “The expectation that we must always be 13????to employers, colleagues and family creates a real obstacle in trying to 14????private time. But that private time is more important than ever.”
A popular method for disconnecting is to choose a box for your cellphone, like
the milk tin that Ms. Holley uses. “ 15????my phone is buzzing or lighting up, it's still a distraction, so it 16????in the box,” said Ms. Holley. Others choose new 17????. “No screens after 11 p.m.,” said Ari Melber, a TV host. “Wefound the evenings were more 18????and we were sleeping better,” he added.
Sleeping is a big factor, which is why some 19???? to leave their phones out of their bedrooms. “I don't want to sleep next to something full of phones and e- mails,” said Peter Som, a fashion designer, who keeps his phone charging in the living room overnight. “It 20????is a head-clearer and distinguishes daytime and sleep time.”1.A.stores B.arranges C.places D.organizes

period decreased their pain, upped their energy, and improved their mental health. And you can 7???? these benefits at any age. Old people who choose to be thank-
ful are less likely to worry about their 8???? health.
Gratitude tends to be easily spread as well. Those who are helped are more like-
ly to pay kindness 9????. One study found that when someone is thanked, it more than doubles his or her chances of being 10???? again, likely because he or she enjoys feeling socially 11????.
If you aren't particularly grateful now, you can learn to be. People who keep
a journal of three positive things that happen to them each day 12???? health-
inducing thankfulness. At first, it may be difficult to 13???? the good things that occur. But 14????, your brain gets trained into a more appreciative mode. And
in the end, the journal becomes a book of joyful 15????. Gratitude training cer-
tainly comes to your aid during your 16???? times because greater 17???? for
life is the part you focus on. 18????your gratefulness directly with the person you feel grateful to, the bene- fits of happiness 19????. You don't need a scientific study to know that showing and accepting gratitude can ensure you an 20???? life, a much better life than you
thought.

Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to 1???? our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or 2????. It's our decision:From which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in 3????or down in desperation?
I believe in the upward look. I choose to 4????the positive and skip right over
the negative. An optimistic attitude is not a luxury(奢侈品);it's a(n) 5????.The way you
look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you
will get along with other people. 6????, negative thoughts, attitudes, and expect-
ations ? ?7????themselves;they become a self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). Pessimism
creates a dark place where no one wants to live.
Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful
day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the
attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) 8 question,
but I felt fine and told him so. “You don’t look well,” he replied. This 9 ?
me completely by surprise. A little 10 confidently, I told him that I had 11???? felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.
By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little 12????. About a
block away, I 13????over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror.
How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right?
By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have
a bad liver? Had I 14????some rare disease?
On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling 15????again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful 16????, and the light reflecting 17????the walls made everyone in- side look as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had 18????the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total 19???? change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long,
I was actually feeling sick. That single 20????observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and
hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, incredible things can be ac-

A handsome man can earn a fifth more than a plainer colleague but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleagues, new research
has shown.
The study by senior economists found that good-looking 1???? male workers could earn 22 percent more than colleagues who looked 2????.
Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar 3????.
Andrew Leigh, the former economics professor at the Australian National Uni- versity who co-authored the report, said,“ 4???? can be a double-edged sword for
women.” Some people still 5???? good looks and intelligence are incompatible(矛盾的)

pay.
He said that 8???? he believed good-looking women might also 9???? more, the research did not 10???? his theory.
The research found that 11???? men in all jobs, from manual labor to highly-paid professional 12????, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing a/an 13???? role.
Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness 14???? a man's earning by 26 percent 15???? an average-looking worker. Former male model Ian Mitchell, 28, who has a first class 16???? in history
from University of Edinburgh and now works for a cosmetic company, told The
Sunday Times:“ It gives you 17????, and I suspect people 18???? to warm to you more quickly.”
The study, entitled Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of
its kind and repeated a 19???? from 1984 to see if the beauty premium had changed.
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist” and
he hoped the findings would encourage 20???? to reserve their prejudice.1.A.guaranteed B.meant C.declared D.expected
