Question

【題目】 Within half a year, you will enter senior high school. Then, in Senior 2 or even Senior 1, you will have to 【1】 a choice—become a humanities student (文科生) or a science student (理科生). In the national college entrance examination, humanities students will take exams in history, geography and politics, while science students take physics, chemistry and biology tests. However, some may find the division (劃分) is too limiting (限制的): Why must we choose 【2】 humanities or science?

China is actually changing its national college entrance exams now. Over 12 provincial-level regions have already said they would not have the science-humanities division in the next few years. Students are still required to choose three subjects from the six. But they can choose 【3】 three. That means they can freely choose the subjects they are good at or interested in.

However, not everyone likes this change. Some worry students have problems making the right decisions because there are too many choices. Others worry this change will cause students to learn more subjects if they are not sure about what subjects to choose. 【4】, the division seems easier, but it is not good for students’ future development. Many students are too young to have the clear ideas about their future jobs 【5】 the subjects they choose to learn now may be useless in the future.

And some schools in Shanghai have already 【6】 out a lot about how to help students face the new change. Teachers can help students get to know their advantages and disadvantages. Then students can choose the courses they want and take the classes in different classrooms. Students can also experience different jobs in real life to know what knowledge is needed. We can find that 【7】 not only happen in exams, but also in courses and schools.

In a word, no matter what will happen in the future, for now, you have to get used to the new situation as 【8】 as possible.

【答案】

【1】make

【2】either

【3】themselves

【4】However

【5】so

【6】helped

【7】this

【8】soon

【解析】

【1】句意：那么，在高二甚至高一的時(shí)候，你將不得不選擇成為文學(xué)的學(xué)生或理科的學(xué)生。
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞have to后面跟動(dòng)詞原形；短語make a choice：做出選擇；故答案為make。

【2】句意：然而，有些人可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這種劃分過于局限：為什么我們必須選擇文科或者理科呢？
短語either…or…：或者……或者……；故答案為either。

【3】句意：但他們自己可以選擇三個(gè)。
choose oneself sth.：自己選擇某物；本句主語they，可知填themselves。

【4】句意：然而，這種劃分似乎比較容易，但不利于學(xué)生的未來發(fā)展。
上文Some worry students have problems making the right decisions because there are too many choices. Others worry this change will cause students learn more subjects if they are not sure about what subjects to choose.有人擔(dān)心選擇太多，學(xué)生們可能會(huì)做錯(cuò)選擇。和此句“這種劃分似乎比較容易”是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，在句子開頭，和主句用逗號(hào)隔開，可知填However。

【5】句意：許多學(xué)生還太年輕，對(duì)未來的工作沒有明確的想法，因此他們現(xiàn)在選擇學(xué)習(xí)的科目可能在未來毫無用處。
根據(jù)句意可知前后句是因果關(guān)系，后句表示結(jié)果，可知填so。

【6】句意：在如何幫助學(xué)生面對(duì)新的變化方面，上海的一些學(xué)校已經(jīng)提供了很多幫助。
本句是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，其構(gòu)成have done sth.，可知填過去分詞；短語help out：幫助……解決難題，幫助……擺脫困境；故答案為helped。

【7】句意：我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，這不僅發(fā)生在考試中，也發(fā)生在課程和學(xué)校中。

本詞指代上文Then students can choose the courses they want and take the classes in different classrooms. Students can also experience different jobs in real life to know what knowledge is needed.這件事情，可知用this指代，故答案為this。

【8】句意：總之，不管將來會(huì)發(fā)生什么，就目前而言，你必須盡快適應(yīng)新的形勢(shì)。
短語as soon as possible：盡快，盡早；故答案為soon。

短文填空題旨在考查考生的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的熟練程度、對(duì)語篇整體的把握和理解能力、能夠靈活運(yùn)用語法和詞匯知識(shí)的能力以及綜合運(yùn)用英語語言的能力。做這類試題時(shí)，首先就要通讀短文，圍繞中心意思，全盤綜合考慮來確定詞義；同時(shí)，還要注意語篇中名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式、短語動(dòng)詞的固定搭配、主謂語人稱和數(shù)的一致、謂語動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)以及非謂語動(dòng)詞的運(yùn)用等語法知識(shí)的使用。例如，第1小題，句意：那么，在高二甚至高一的時(shí)候，你將不得不選擇成為文學(xué)的學(xué)生或理科的學(xué)生。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞have to后面跟動(dòng)詞原形；短語make a choice：做出選擇；故答案為make。
