Norman Cousins was given a few months to live in 1964. He had Ankylosing Spondylitis, a rare 1 of the connective tissues. He was told by a doctor that he had a 1 in 500 chance of 2 . He was told to “get his affairs 3 ”.

But Cousins would have none of it. Because he was a journalist, he was used to doing 4 and so he tried to find a solution. He read and 5 that both his disease and the medicines were draining (消耗) his body of vitamin C.

He did three things that would be 6 today but were unheard of then.

1. He left the hospital. He discovered that the culture of 7 and over medication in hospitals was not good for his health. He found a doctor who 8 work with him as a team member instead of insisting on being in charge.

2. He got plenty of vitamin C injections.

3. He got a movie projector, not easy in those days, and a pile of 9 movies. He spent a lot of time watching films and laughing. And he didn’t just laugh. 10 being in constant pain, he made a point of laughing until his stomach hurt from it.

Cousins finally died on November 30, 1990, having 11 years longer than his doctors 12 : 10 years after his first heart attack, 16 years after his collagen (骨胶原) illness, and 26 years after his doctors first 13 his heart disease.

Can it be proved that 14 added 26 years to Norman Cousins’ life? 15 , but we see above that it 16 the immune system that fights disease. There can be 17 real tests for this. They can’t take two groups of dying people and have one laugh and 18 cry and see who lives. The ethical problems would be enormous and there would be too many variables. We will just have to 19 his word. If laughing doesn’t extend life, wouldn’t it be 20 to laugh anyway to make your last days more pleasant?

轻松一刻

Do not think of today’s failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.

– Helen Keller (American author and lecturer, 1880-1968)

别想着今天的失败,想想明天可能到来的成功。你已为自己设立一个困难的任务,坚持就会成功;在克服障碍的过程里你会发现乐趣。记住,我们为得到美好事物所付出的努力不会白费。

——海伦·凯勒

轻松一刻

 The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple pie without any cheese. The little boy of the family left the room quietly for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the guest’s plate.

The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and then said: “You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny (小家伙). Where did you find the cheese?”

“In the rat-trap (捕鼠器), sir,” replied the boy.

完形填空专项训练答案与解析

A

1-5 CACDC 6-10 BACAD

11-15 BACCB 16-20 DACAB

1. C。下文中多次提到“his disease”,可知Cousins患了一种罕见的疾病——强直性脊柱炎。

2. A。由上文“Norman Cousins was given a few months to live ”可知这里指他只有五百分之一的生存几率。

3. C。医生告诉他要把事情安排好,这是医生让病人面对死亡的委婉说法。in detail 详细地;in time 及时;in danger 处于危险中;in order 井然有序地。

4. D。由下文可知他并没有听从医生让他等待死亡的建议,相反,他一直在努力寻求适合自己的治疗方法。作记者的工作与他处理问题的方法最紧密关联的为D选项,习惯于研究,所以才想找到问题的答案,其他选项虽然与他的工作有关,但不符合语境。

5. C。句意为:他读了很多书籍,并且发现……。discovered 和read是顺承关系。

6. B。由“but were unheard of then”可推知他做的事情在当时从未被听说过,但现在看来比较常见。

7. A。他发现,医院这种(疾病治疗)失败的氛围和过度用药对他的健康不利。上文提到他只有五百分之一的治疗希望,所以这里应该是指被疾病击败的氛围,故选A。

8. C。这里would表示一种意愿。

9. A。此处对应下文的“He spent a lot of time watching films and laughing ... he made a point of laughing until his stomach hurt from it”根据常识,能让他笑的肚子痛的一定是滑稽电影。

10. D。make a point of doing sth表示“重视做某事,努力做某事”。句意为:尽管他身体一直疼痛,但是他努力笑,直到笑得肚子疼了。in spite of 尽管;apart from 除……之外;as a result of 由于;in terms of 就……而言,在……方面。

11. B。这里对应开篇第一句“Norman Cousins was given a few months to live in 1964”,survive意为“比……多活多长时间”,符合语境。

12. A。此处对应第一段的“Norman Cousins was given a few months to live in 1964.”句意为:他比医生预测的多活了好多年。

13. C。在医生第一次诊断(diagnose)他的心脏病的26年之后,他才去世。operated 动手术,操作,运转;ignored 忽视,不理睬;attacked 攻击,袭击。

14. C。这里对应上文Cousins做的第三件事情:He spent a lot of time watching films and laughing。

15. B。Not really 不完全如此;No trouble 不麻烦;No problem 没问题;Not at all 一点也不。

16. D。虽然不能完全证明是笑延长了他的寿命,但从他的情况来看,笑确实增强了他的免疫系统。

17. A。由下文“They can’t take two groups of dying people ...”可知不会有这样的测试。

18. C。One ... the other 是固定用法,the other指两者中的另外一个。

19. A。由下文可知这里表示我们要领悟Cousins下面这句话。take表示“理解,接受”,符合语境。

20. B。根据句意“如果笑不能延长生命,那么笑能让你最后的日子更愉快,不是______吗?”可判断只有B符合语境。

B

1-5 BCDAC 6-10 ABDAC

11-15 BADCB 16-20 DACBD

1. B。由下一句“This was one of several nights Noah had been 2 , burning with a high fever.”可知Noah已经不是第一次晚上发高烧了,所以应该是比较严重的问题,故选B。

2. C。Be up有“起床”的意思。这里是说Noah夜晚发高烧醒来,因此选C。

3. D。丈夫将Noah的脸颊放在他的胸膛上,以便Noah可以感知他声音的震动,以传递他的爱,against表示“靠着, 倚着”。

4. A。feel 感觉,感知,符合语境。

5. C。句意为:我带Noah去看医生的次数比我记住的还要多。说明Noah生病很重,故选C。

6. A。这里与上文“burning with a high fever”对应。

7. B。结合前文Noah高烧可知他身体状况处于困境之中,故选C,in trouble 陷入困境;in peace 平静地;in anxiety 焦虑不安地;in shock 处在震惊之中。

8. D。Noah病情严重,我和丈夫都感到恐惧。

9. A。医生叫我们再把他带去,bring in表示“带去,带到”。

11. B。这里指医生说出了我们预期的答案。

12. A。结合前后文可知此时我十分悲伤,选项中只有crying表示消极情绪。

13. D。后半句写丈夫觉得Noah能好转,因此这句话他是在安慰我,故选D。

14. C。此处指Noah的检查结果出来了。

15. B。结合后半句可知Noah能够迅速恢复健康,故选B。

16. D。结合后句我们被告知可以将Noah带回家,说明Noah已恢复健康,此处应选“最终”。

17. A。上文提到Noah很快就会康复,所以这里指的是我们可以将Noah带回家,故选A。

18. C。前文说我偷偷瞥了眼客厅里玩耍的丈夫和儿子,他们正好抬起头抓住了我的目光,只有catch表达出目光的相遇,故选C。

19. B。Noah因为年龄太小,向爸爸做出我爱你的手势很困难,此处他努力尝试去完成,选B。

20. D。根据文中描述的作者丈夫对儿子的爱,可推知由于Noah太小无法做出我爱你的手势,他认真地帮助孩子完成这一动作,故选D。

C

1-5 CBACD 6-10 DBCAB

11-15 DCBAD 16-20 BADCB

1-2. C, B。第二段表示人们先把魔方拿在手里翻来覆去的看看,满不在乎地尝试着转一转,然后解决不了就还给作者。第二题中能够表达该语意的只有“move”这个可数名词。根据这部分就可以判断出作者的意图是让别人先尝试下拼好魔方,所以第一题选C。

3. A。从前文可以看出,这些拿着魔方没有办法的人是属于完全不会的人,根本就不知道应该怎么“开始”,故选A。

4. C。后文提到作者是一个诵读困难者,在他的眼中文字都是一片混乱,所以正确答案为C。

5. D。前句提到单词和字母在他眼里都是完全没有次序的,故可以发现没有什么(文字)在他眼里是“有意义的”。

6. D。从后文中作者四年级时被迫离开公立学校,后来又回到地区高中可知,只有承认自己的缺陷,后退几步,才能继续前进,所以选D。

7. B。从第四段开头可以判断,作者离开公立学校,进入了一个特殊学校进行学习。故选择B。

8. C。从admit可推断,作者现在很可能完全拼对全名有时候还是有困难,这对于任何人来说都是一件羞于承认的事情。故选B。honest主语只能是人。

9. A。不能完全拼对全名;A选项“一贯地,始终”,符合文意。如果选B,就表示完全不能拼对,所以不对,其他选项不符合文意。

10. B。从后文讲的作者在这所新学校学到的可知这个学校擅长“语言处理异常”这个领域。故选C。

11. D。前文提到“语言这副拼图(puzzle)的每一个小块”这个比喻,所以从后面来看“phoneme”就是组成一个词语的部分。故选择D。

12. C。作者在这里学会了学习,并找到了策略,这些策略应该是使他能够回到自己地区的高中去。

13. B。从前后文看,作者如果要回到普通的高中去上学,那么他就必须有能够正常交流和表达自己想法的“能力”,故选B。

14. A。solve需要搭配的名词很自然的就是“problem”,而从后文可以得知,当一个问题被解决之前,看起来是多么的混乱。故选A。

15. D。从前文的分析可以看出,找到解决办法是很突然的,所以飞跃是超乎想象的,故选D。

16. B。此句的意思是“魔方教会了我将一个大问题细化之后就能更好地去处理”,因为魔方实际上就是一个看似是整体性的问题实际上是细节上的问题,所以根据文意此处选择B。turn down 降低;take down 取下,写下,拆掉;put down 放下。

17. A。从前文看出,因为将大的问题细化之后产生了许多不同的部分,而这些部分之前肯定有他们的联系和规律,找到这些联系和规律之后就更容易解决问题,故选A。

18. D。作者在这里表达的意思是这个魔方看似是多个小块的集合,然而要真正解决这个问题并非只是简单的加法,而作者本人也是,并不是自己看起来的那个样子,他能够做得更好,故选D。

19. C。句意为:就和一篇很难的文章或是生活本身一样,魔方也是一个让人失意、挫败不已的难题。很难的文章、生活等都是困难的,需要不停努力才能获得成功,故C最合适。

20. B。最后一句解释了为什么作者要一直把魔方放在背包里,原因是他要将其作为一个提醒,让他知道无论遇到什么困难,只要努力都是能够克服的,故选B。
