2012英语一完形填空
The ethical judgments of the Supreme Court justices have become an important issue recently. The court cannot maintain its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law when justices behave like politicians. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that weakened the court’s reputation for being independent and impartial.
Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, appeared at political events. That kind of activity makes it less likely that the court’s decisions will be accepted as impartial judgments. Partof the problem is that the justices are not bound by anethics code. At the very least, the court should make itself subject to the code of conduct that applies to the rest of the federal judiciary.
This and other similar cases raise the question of whether there is still a line between the court and politics.
The framers of the Constitution envisioned law as having authority apart from politics.They gave justices permanent positions so they would be freeto upset those in power and have no need to cultivate political support. Our legal system was designed to setlaw apart from politics precisely because they are so closely tied.
Constitutional law is political because it results from choices rooted in fundamental social concepts like liberty and property. When the court deals with social policy decisions, the law it shapes is inescapably political-which is why decisions split along ideological lines are so easily dismissed as unjust.
The justices must address doubts about the court’s legitimacy by making themselves accountable to the code of conduct. That would make rulings more likely to be seen as separate from politics and, as a result, convincing as law.

The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and 23 what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture with notes which do not catch the main points and 24 become hard even for the students to understand.

练习一 For many people today, reading is very important. In applying for a job, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and neve g r et over them. The main deficiency lies in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar ( or curtain ) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization, practically impossible . At first comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts , you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training. 练习二 The past 20 years have been enormous changes in the lives a s n tr d ucture of families in Britain. The biggest change has been coused by divorce . As many as 1 out of 3 marriages now end in it, leading to a situation where many children live with one parent. There has also been a huge ris i e n the number of women with children who work. The large rise in divorces has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce, many families need both parents to work in order to survive . This has caused an increase in childcare facilities , though it is very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas. In addition , women are no longer happy to stay at home raising children, and many have careers earning as much or even more than men, the traditional breadwinner. There has also been a sharp increase in the number of single mothers, particularly among teenagers. Some people have blamed this increas f e or the rise in crime. They feel the lack of a male role model has damaged these children in society. However , these changes have not had a totally negative effect. For women, it is now much easier to have a career and good salary.As for children themselves, some argue that modern children grow up
2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译和精析2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空为读者解释了肢体语言的重要性。这个经常被人们忽视却占据了人们表意的50%的强大语言会在不同文化之间交流时，给人们带来极大的帮助。提醒读者，在生活中要善于利用肢体语言，善于发现肢体语言的作用。 Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 36 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal（非语言）communication takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries 45 touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 - which the Latino will in return regard as 50 . Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 . 2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译： 肢体语言是安静的，秘密的，也是所有语言中最强大的。它远远胜过说出的语言。专家指出，我们的身体发出的信息比我们所了解的更多。事实上，非语言交流占据了我们真正意思的50%。当我们试图跨文化交流时，肢体语言尤为重要。确实，所谓的肢体语言是我们如此大的一部分，而事实上它却经常被忽视。误解也就由此而来。例如，不同的社会对待人与人之间的距离就截然不同。北欧人通常不喜欢身体接触，即便是朋友，所以更不可能跟陌生人。另一方面，拉丁美洲的人身体接触却比较多。因此，在谈话中有可能时一个拉丁人跟着一个挪威人在房间里走动。为了表达友好的拉丁人会一直靠近。而挪威人有可能觉得这种行为非常粗鲁，所以他会一直后退，保持距离—拉丁人会认为这是一种冷漠。 诚然，当人们在交谈时很多事情都在发生。但是，只有很少一部分在语言本身当中。当交谈双方来自不同文化时，误解是极有可能发生的。但是，不管是什么样的情形，最好的建议是遵守这个黄金法则：像你希望被对待的那样对待别人。
成人学位英语考试解题技巧---完形填空 一、概述 完形填空（Part ⅣCloze）是在一篇题材熟悉、难度适中的短文（约200词）中留有20个空白。每个空白为一题，每题有四个选项。要求考生在全面理解内容的基础上选出一个最佳答案，使短文的结构和意思恢复完整。填空的选项包括结构词和实义词，有些选项会涉及到一些重要的语法。 二、完形填空解析 完型填空是英语考试的一个组成部分。《考试大纲》指出：“完型填空部分的目的是测试学生综合运用语言的能力”，也即理解篇章和使用词汇和语法的能力。完型填空有如下特点： 1.这项考试首先是测试考生对篇章的理解能力。虽然所给出的文章被抽去了一些词，但是整篇文章的内容仍是可以理解的。如果考生不能理解文章内容，就难以将正确的词填入文中。这也就是完型填空题与以单句形式考核词汇和语法的实体的根本区别。由此可见，考生在作题时必须时刻从上下文考虑，部应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此，在作题时最好将全文通读一下，了解了全文的意识以后在作题。 2.这项考试还测试考生使用词汇和语法结构的能力。文章中留出的每一个空格要求填入一个词。考试大纲规定：“填空的词项包括结构词和实义词”。结构词（也称虚词，有代词、冠词、介词、连词、关系词等）主要是表示语法结构关系的，在选用结构词时便需要考虑在语法上是否恰当。对实义词（名词、形容词、数词、动词和副词）的选择既要看其意思用在句中是否得当，也要看它与其他词的搭配关系是否合适。 3.首句一般没有空格，对于首句应该给与足够的重视，因为往往它就是中心句或是引导句，它的时态往往决定了全文的时态，所以多花一点时间看首句是值得的。 4.然后以句子为单位一句一句地读，一句一句地填空，主要考虑语法、句意、逻辑和上下文联系。暂时填不出来的就空在那里。 5.最后通读一遍，完成没有填的空，再看看填的顺不顺，不顺的地方大胆修改。 三、答题技巧 1.拿到题目，首先从语法角度考虑，因为语法考察要占70%以上（其中有与词汇考察相交部分），每一题必然是考某一个语法点，如果你在选择答案时已经知道考的是哪一个语法点，那么90%的可能这道题里做对了；如果你云里雾里，那只有祈祷了。 2.从语法着手不行之后，在从句意着手，透彻理解句子的意思。 3.总是第一反应，因为第一反应往往来自于语感。 4.容易的熟悉的题要一跳而过，难题也不要多花时间，先猜一个答案，（以免后来时间紧，忘记），再在题目前做一个记号，等到检查时，再考虑。也许在做其它题目时，你会得到某种启示。 5.掌握语法结构和规则，记住短语搭配，用熟悉的短语去推断正确的答案。 2012年学位英语-- 完形填空模拟真题 例一： Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that gosintosthe collecting o f those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo.One of the ques tions that is always asked of me is __1__ I became an animal collector in the first _ _2__ .The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos.According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any __3__ was not the convention al“mamma”or“daddy”, __4__ the word“zoo”, which I would __5__ over and over agai n with a shrill __6__ until someone, insgroupsto __7__ me up, would take me to the zo o.When I __8__ a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great __9__ of pets, ra nging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time __10__ the countryside in search of fresh specimens to __11__ to my collection of pets.__12__ on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student __13__ , to get experience of the large animals, s

I was 23 a school bus to make ends meet and 24 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 25 five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 26 the job. "Why has my life become so 27 ?" I thought painfully. As I pulled the bus over to 28 a little girl, she handed me an earring 29 I should keep it 30 somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said "BE HAPPY". At first I got angry. Then it 31 me – I had been giving all of my 32 to what was going wrong with my 33 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 34 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 35 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 36 from a lady who was a director at a larger 37 . She asked me if I would 38 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes. My 39 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 40 that I completely changed my life. 2012年高考英语全国卷2完形填空翻译： 大概在20年前我住在纽约。尽管我有很多的经历和一个硕士学位，但是我始终找不到一份满意的工作。 那时，我靠兼职开校车来保持收支平衡，又由于失去了自己的公寓而和我的一个朋友住在一起。我在一家公司面试了五次，终于有一天在我开车的时候他们打来电话说我没能得到这份工作。我很痛苦，心想：“为什么我的生活变得这么的艰难”。 当我把车停在旁边让一个小女孩下车的时候，她交给我一个耳环，并且对我说让我保存好这个耳环，以免有人认领。这个耳环被涂成黑色，耳环上面写着“要开心”。 刚开始我很生气。之后，我被触动了—我总是把注意力放在生活的不顺上，却没有想过一些好的事情。我决定立即列出50件值得开心的事情的清单。之后，我在清单里加入了更多的内容。那天晚上，我接到一位女士的电话，她是一家大型医院的董事。她问我能不能给200个医务工作者做一天关于缓解压力的讲座。我答应了她。 那天讲座进展很顺利，之后不久我就找到了一份高薪工作。对于这一天，我知道是我思维方式的转变才彻底的改变了我的生活。
近几年高考英语完形填空分析 提纲：(一)命题趋势 (二) 完形填空的题型特点及选项设计特点 (三) 完形填空的解题步骤 (四) 突破完形的注意事项及突破 （一）体裁多样化 从图表我们可以看出全国卷的完形填空的体裁多为记叙文、或夹叙夹议。但其他地方说明文也有出现。2008年福建卷、安徽卷2009年上海、重庆、福建卷等就是说明文。2009年甚至还出现了应用文，如安徽卷，即以独特的书信体来命题。 （二）词汇量大幅度增大 从2008年开始，考试说明取消了对完形填空词数的限制。事实上，近两年完形填空所选文章都已超出了原规定200一250的词数限制．大部分篇幅的字数都大约300字。2009年完形填空词量超过300词的有l0套，其中湖南卷更是达到了381个词。2010年山东卷有325个单词，加上选项190个，总共是515词，需要在20分钟内完成。 （三）对词汇的要求提高了 (1)考察基础词汇中一词多义的现象提高了 现在的完形填空题基本上涉及语法问题很少，今年全国卷的完形填空仍然遵循了这一原则。从选项设置的词汇看，基本上都是基础词汇。一般说来，基础词汇的词义容量比较大，但一词多义现象在基础词汇上表现非常明显，这是全国卷今年的完形填空题考察的趋势。 (2)考察多种词义辨析手段 完形填空的考察角度是在文章理解基础上的词义辨析，全国卷的这篇完形填空用到了多种词义辨析手段，如利用构词法中的派生法辨析词义等，这对今后的词汇教学是有启示的。
（3）难度稳中有增。历年英语高考中完形填空是相对难度较大的题目。但多年来其难度一直能够得到较好的控制(一般难度值在0.55-0.6左右，难度略低于整体试卷难度)，但近年来该题的难度值因为加大了词汇量，使长句难句增多，选项中所用词汇更加富有层次、更具有干扰性，因此难度也就自然增大了。 二、（一）完形填空的题型特点近几年来的完形填空题，有以下几个特点： 1. 短文难度基本稳定，与高中英语教材课文难易基本相当。 2. 短文选材一般为故事性文章，采用其他题材的文章还是不具有普遍性。但往往不按时间顺序平铺直叙，有插叙或倒叙，有时还夹有描述和议论。 3. 短文的第一句不设空格，提供给考生一个思路，以便考生做题。 4. 考查内容主要是逻辑上的通顺，极少是考语法，所以每题四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。 5. 短文长度基本稳定，一般都是300多个单词。 （二）完形填空选项设置的几个特点 （2011年全国卷卷完形选项设置）： In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory__36__course about 20 years ago. The professor __37__the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆）, and invited the students to _38_how many beans the jar contained.
