完形填空

  The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard.But in the rich world, children can   1   from a different kind of poverty-of the spirit.  2  , one Western country alone now sees 14 000 attempted suicides(自殺)every year by children under 15, and one child   3   five needs psychiatric(心理)advice.

  There are many good things about   4   in the Third World.Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example.In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between   5   and children.But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices.  6  , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbors working   7   and often shares in that work.

  A child   8   in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s   9  :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies-rather than   10   playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets   11   playing with dolls.

  These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the   12   children.Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky.Children in the rich world,   13  , are provided with a watch as one of the   14   signs of growing up, so that they can   15   along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows…

  Third World children do not usually   16   to stay indoors, still less in high-rise apartments(公寓).Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass” signs and “don’t speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of   17   to study and play.Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them   18   from ten floors up.

    19  , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease.But childhood in the Third World is not all   20

解析:

(1)

suffer意為“遭受,蒙受;經(jīng)受;體驗到(痛苦等)”,指遭受、受苦、受折磨,可用作不及物動詞或及物動詞,可跟from短語。根據(jù)其賓語a different kind of poverty可判斷出在富裕的世界里,孩子可能遭受各種不同的貧窮。come from意為“從……來”。learn from意為“向……學(xué)習(xí)”。survive from意為“從……存活”。

(2)

for instance意為“例如”,用于舉例說明貧窮的孩子們所遭受的痛苦。as usual意為“像往常一樣,照例”。in fact意為“實際上”。in other words意為“換句話說”。

(3)

one children in five意為“五分之一的孩子”,表示五分之一的孩子需要進(jìn)行心理咨詢。

(4)

childhood意為“童年”,這篇短文講述的在第三世界中孩子們所遭受的貧窮和痛苦。但是在他們的童年中也有許多好事。

(5)

adult意為“成人”,根據(jù)上文中的“Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents,relatives and neighbors for example.”可判斷出這里所說的是成人與孩子之間的關(guān)系。而不是孩子與父親、鄰居或親戚之間的關(guān)系。

(6)

instead意為“代替”,強調(diào)用甲而不用乙,并含有否定乙的意味。表示在第三世界國家里,父母不到很遠(yuǎn)的地方工作,孩子們可以看到他們工作。anyhow意為“總之,無論如何,不管怎樣”。however意為“然而”。still意為“仍然”。

(7)

nearby意為“在附近”,根據(jù)所提供的情景the child sees mother and father,relations and neighbors working可判斷出孩子可在附近看父母或鄰居工作。away意為“離開”。alone意為“獨自一人”。along意為“沿著”。

(8)

grow up意為“長大”,表示這樣長大。live through意為“度過,經(jīng)受住”。play意為“玩”。work意為“工作”。

(9)

work意為“工作”。根據(jù)所提供的情景helping to dig or build,look after animals or babies可判斷出孩子們通過參加社區(qū)的工作學(xué)習(xí)他或她的角色。activity意為“活動”。life意為“生活”。study意為“學(xué)習(xí)”。

(10)

through意為“通過”,表示而不是通過在幼兒園里玩水和沙子學(xué)習(xí)他或她的角色。by意為“靠,用,通過”,指借助于某種方法、手段等達(dá)到某種目的。from意為“從……”。with意為“和……一起,和……一塊兒,和……同時”。

(11)

or意為“或者”,表示或者通過玩洋娃娃學(xué)習(xí)他或她的角色。and并列關(guān)系,因為孩子不能同時在幼兒園里玩水和沙子、養(yǎng)寵物、玩洋娃娃,所以不能用and。but表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。so意為“因此”,常用于連接兩個句子。

(12)

western意為“西方的”。這一段講述了在第三世界國家的孩子的成長過程,他們通過勞動學(xué)習(xí)自己的角色,因此第三世界國家孩子在一種自由自在的環(huán)境中成長,所以他們比西方國家的孩子更少壓抑感。eastern意為“東方的”。good意為“好的”。poor意為“貧窮的”。

(13)

on the other hand意為“另一方面”,用于把西方國家的孩子與第三國家的孩子進(jìn)行比較。at any moment意為“在任何時候”。at the same time意為“同時”。on the whole意為“總的來說”。

(14)

earliest意為“最早的”,表示在西方國家里,孩子被給予一塊手表作為長大的標(biāo)志。easiest意為“最容易的”。happiest意為“最幸福的”。quickest意為“最快的”。

(16)

have to do sth.意為“不得不做某事”,表示由于客觀原因而不得不做的事。dare to do sth.意為“敢做某事”。expect to do sth.意為“期望做某事”。require意為“需要做某事”。

(17)

freedom意為“自由”,根據(jù)所提供的情景:Instead of dangerous roads,“keep off the grass” signs and “don’t speak to strangers”可判斷出他們有更多的自由的學(xué)習(xí)和玩的感覺。control意為“控制”。danger意為“危險”。disappointment意為“失望”。

(18)

anxiously意為“憂慮地,擔(dān)心地,掛念地,焦急地”,rather than意為“而不是”,與上文中的freedom相對照,西方國家的家長總是在很高的樓上為自己的孩子擔(dān)憂。eagerly意為“渴望地”。impatiently意為“耐心地”。proudly意為“驕傲地”。

(19)

of course意為“當(dāng)然”,用來表示自然的或不可避免的結(jié)果。由于第三世界國家的孩子們生活在貧窮中,每年都有一千二百萬的不到五歲的兒童死于饑餓與疾病。above all意為“首先,尤其是”。in the end意為“終于”。what’s more意為“另外還有”。

(20)

bad意為“壞的”。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可判斷出,第三世界國家的孩子們雖然生活在貧困、饑餓和疾病之中,但他們在成長的過程中有更多的自由,所以盡管每年有一千二百萬的不到五歲的兒童死于饑餓與疾病,但第三世界國家的孩子們的童年也不是一無是處。good意為“好的”。rich意為“富!。poor意為“貧窮”。

完形填空 :通讀下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在1—25各題所給的四個選項中, 選出   一個最佳答案。  

     When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or   for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For   I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story   than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember   the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For   instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the   story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and   cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in   the speech of a 13 character.

           

   Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and   so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (費心)   about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of   English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of   stories or 18 is called the general reader.

           

   As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.   Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21   you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.   Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;   negatively (負(fù)面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in   expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent   copying is a help to 25 by heart.
