三、完形填空 (共 15 小题,15 分)
阅读下面短文,从各题 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。
My Father’s Son
It’s hard being an astronaut’s son. Everybody expects you to be
36
.
I’m just an average eleven-year-old kid. My father is so good at everything. I
often wonder
37
my father ever had a son like me.
One morning my teacher announced a
38
Day essay contest (竞赛) for the
whole school. What would I
39
? My father is an astronaut; I would start out
with that. No, I decided I wouldn’t do that. The whole country and maybe even the
40
saw my father as an astronaut,
41
that wasn’t the way I saw
whole
him.
How did I
42
my father? Hmm.
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I was little and had a nightmare.
I saw him teaching me how to throw a baseball.
I remembered him hugging me for hours when my dog was killed by a car.
And I remembered how he
43
me with a new little dog at my eighth birthday
party.
These were the things I was going to write about my dad. To me, he wasn’t
44
a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.
On Thursday night the winning essays would be
45
in the hall with all
the parents and students present. I hadn’t shown Dad the essay, and now I almost
46
47
I wouldn’t win. When the third prize was announced and it wasn’t me, I was
and disappointed at the same time. Then the second prize. It was me! I went
up to the stage and read my essay “My Father’s Son.” I watched my parents as
I read.
When I finished reading, the audience applauded. I saw my father
48
his
nose. Tears were running down my mother’s face. Dad cleared his throat, and put
his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.”
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll
49
be a great
hero or win a Nobel Prize, but just then, it was
50
just to be my father’
s son.
36. A. perfect

Let’s Bake (烤) Sugar Cookies
Nobody is actually sure who created the very first cookie. But
the first cookie may have been a mistake. Many cooking experts
believe that a long time ago cooks who wanted to test the
temperature of their ovens would bake a little bit to find out if
the oven was hot enough to bake an entire cake. These test cakes
were called keokje, which means “little cake” in the language
used in the Netherlands. People from the Netherlands brought the
an oven
recipe to the United States. The word“cookie” may have come from their word keokje.
Cookies are also very popular in England, but the English call them “biscuits”,
as do Australians. Almost every country has a word for cookie. In Spain, they are
called galletas, and in Italy, cookies are called biscotti. Americans are not the
only people who enjoy cookies.
You can make cookies following these steps:
·Preheat oven to 150℃. Put a little butter on a cookie sheet.
·Mix together white sugar, brown sugar, butter and eggs. Then add vanilla.
·Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Then mix well.
·Drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.
·Bake at 150℃ for 12 minutes or until lightly brown.
55. In which country were the test cakes first made?
A. Spain.
C. The Netherlands.
B. Australia.
D. The United States.
56. What does the first paragraph talk about?
A. Describe how to bake a cake.
B. Tell why people like cookies.
C. Tell when people make cookies.
D. Describe the history of cookies.
57. What is the first step to bake cookies?
A. Heat oven to 150℃.
B. Mix the butter and the sugar.
C. Test the temperature of the oven.
D. Brush the cookies with some oil.
58. If the cookies look lightly brown, what does this mean?
A. They have burned.
B. They are done.
C. They have become soft.
D. They need to cook for 12 minutes.
C
“The age of melancholy” is how psychologist Daniel Goleman describes our age.
People today experience more depression (feeling of sadness) than older generations,
though the technological wonders help us every day. It might be because of them.
Our lifestyles are increasingly driven by technology. Our days are filled with
phones, computers and the Internet. There is a constant need to check for texts
and emails, to update Facebook, MySpace and Linkedin profiles and to acquire the
latest notebook or 3G cell phone.
Are we being served by these technological wonders or have we become enslaved
by them? I study the psychology of technology, and it seems to me that we are
sleepwalking into a world where technology is severely affecting our well-being.
Technology can be hugely useful in the fast-paced modern living, but we need to
stop it from taking over.
For many of us, it is becoming increasingly difficult to control the impulse
to check our inbox yet again or see whether the headlines have changed since we
looked last time. Our children are in a similar position. In many homes, the computer,
with which we work and play, has become the centre of attention.
How does this arise, and what is it doing to us? People who place a high value
on material goals are unhappier than those who are less materialistic.
Our culture also constantly reminds us that time is money. This indicates a
need for total efficiency (效率), which is the reason for us to allow laptop
computers and mobile phones to blur the separation between work and home. As one
unhappy human resource manager in a high-tech company put it, “They gave me a mobile
phone so they can own me 24 hours a day, and a portable computer, so my office is
now with me all the time—I cannot break out of this pressure.” Sound familiar?
Psychologists generally believe that the lack of a clear separation between
work and home greatly damages our relationships with loved ones. It also makes us
quite likely to focus on the here and now at the expense of long-term goals.
Modern society is in danger of exchanging standard of living for quality of
life. We need ways to help recover those increasingly large parts of our lives that
have been controlled by technology, to regain mastery over technology and learn
to use it in a healthy and positive way.
59. Why does the author mention Daniel Goleman’s words “the age of melancholy”?
