2020届新高考英语新题型练习01 完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练(1)(含答案)
2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练(1)完形填空(山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试)Three years ago,I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department,which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity.During the two days,students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems.MUN has 22 awards:best delegates(代表),honorary mentions,and verbal mentions.Each time I participate in MUN,I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards.But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award.I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times,and I was just filled with 26 at their success.But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something,and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be.Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30.Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time.This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views:knowledge and ability are learned from our 33.That’s true.If I make a mistake in the life practice,then I probably won’t 34 that next time.I believe this is 35 the best way to become better.21.A.strengthen B.condemn C.inspire D.represent 22.A.identical B.temporary C.various D.false 23.A.preparations B.predictions C.appointments D.explanations 24.A.accelerated B.failed C.exited D.succeeded 25.A.approached B.trained C.expected D.witnessed26.A.relief B.envy C.satisfaction D.delight 27.A.annoyed B.ashamed C.good D.terrible 28.A.desert B.1earn C.delete D.display29.A.win B.miss C.deliver D.value30.A.bond B.bet C.victory D.1oss31.A.aim B.benefit C.burden D.1imit32.A.funnier B.worse C.better D.slower33.A.decisions B.attitudes C.positions D.experiences 34.A.repeat B.admit C.accept D.notice 35.A.wrongly B.scarcely C.truly D.narrowly阅读理解(山东师大附中2017级第三次月考)AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五(山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考)Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

Culture ShockCulture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place. 48.The next stage is “the hostility(敌意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. 49.Moreover, people don’t treat you like a guest anymore.Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. 50.The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good. 51.The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.52.It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college).A. You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.B. And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don’t understand.C. In addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.D. You become tired of many things about the new culture.E. You have learned enough to understand the new culture.F.

Your figure, income, education, apartment, theweather, and even the tiniest inconvenience can become a cause for feeling upset.Those who develop the habit of pitying themselves lose the sympathy (同情) of people around them. (2)Assess everything in terms of money.Some people think that happiness can be achieved by having lots of money and that you can’t really enjoy life if you don’t wear fancy clothes, live in a big house or drive an expensive car.(3) Instead, they think it’s their ability to attract it. A truly successful person is not totally dependent on his or her money.(4)Scientists say that peopl e who don’t feel like they belongin their jobs are very likely to feel unhappy and live in poverty. The reason for this is their feelings that make them do what they don’t want and don’t like to do. To get rid of this habit for good, you should put your strength and energy into something satisfying.This is the only way to achieve excellent results.Stay away from your relatives.(5) .And that’s obvious, because it’s the only place where you can findrelief and support when everything comes crashing down around you.A.

They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the g oing gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’tdo that! (3) Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. (4) If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak;it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. (5) You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.A. Never give up on yourself.B. Failure only exists in your own mind!C.

In a word , happiness. Better relationships , more success. But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully . (1) Thus,when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times .Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian (爬行动物似的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival . On the emotional survival side , we want our way to get ahead , to achieve, to "look good . " Let's just face it . (2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger , impatience, blaming and shaming. We all have them . And we can grow beyond them .Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain . Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person , situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort . But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain, but how our mind is set . (3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings . (4) But to really care for ourselves, get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you . Focusing on what's actually happening , you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening ,the resistance.(5) When you find yourself impatient , or angry with yourself , you can remind yourself that you are growing , and that, "Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I'm bothered ." You can say to yourself , " It's true . I don't like this ; this is uncomfortable , but I can tolerate it .A . Practice positive self-talk .B . So the solution to pain is an inside job .C. Patience abilities benefit you in many ways .D . Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.E. we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.F. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.G. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances.41. A. A B. B C.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind andwillingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towards change. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3)They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover,they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present rolesbut also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal.(4)Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, tryto learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system.(5)Seminars ( 商讨会 ), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as theymake learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G. Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learning.46. A.A B.B C.C D.D E.E F.F G.G47.

They put a world of information at ourfingertips . (1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours . Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted , such as while queuing for coffee . They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock, by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am .But for most people , the servant has become the master. Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime . Now everybody is . Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time . (2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction ,even during pre-dinner drinks , and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night .(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves?One solution is digital dieting . Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits , (4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually . The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline , and encourage them to work together to make this possible .We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them, the stronger the addiction will grow . (5)A . This is partly because smart devices are addictive .B . Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office .C. Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime .D . the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits .E. Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss .F. They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers.G.

(4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror ,one at the table and another by the TV . This is optional but highly recommended .(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing . Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in . This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time . For instance, if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry , then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at .Review often but little .Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day .Practice takes time and ifyou rush, you won't remember anything .A.

People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians.②_______So parchment (羊皮纸),made from goatskin, later took its place.In ancient China, books looked a little different. At that time, people there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees,paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.③________Papermaking later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.④______They carved (雕刻)a page of word's into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper.

A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 36 And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.37 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home ata local or store or stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.38 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 39Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 40 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.A.

2020年高考英语专题复习阅读填空-七选五(10篇)五1.How Do You Practice PatiencePatience may be a virtue, but I’m not very good at it—and I’m probably not alone.The following advice may help you practice patience.Try to figure out why you are in a hurryWe tend to lose our patience when we’re multi—tasking or, when we’re on a tight schedule. If you’re stretching yourself too thin, you should reconsider your to-do list before you attempt to change your natural reaction to an overwhelming (压倒性的) situation.(1)Remind yourself that things take timePeople who are impatient are people who insist on getting things done now and don’t like to waste time. (2) Think about your happiest memories. Chances are, they were instances when your patience paid off, like when you worked steadily towards a goal that wasn’t immediately satisfying. Almost anything really good in life takes effort, and if you’re impatient, you’re more likely to give up on relationships, goals, and other things that are important to you.Expect the unexpectedYes, you have plans, but things don’t always work out as planned. (3) This applies not only to circumstances, but also the behavior of those around you. If you yourself blowing up over your spouse (配偶) accidentally forgetting to take out the trash(垃圾), you’re not in touch with the fact that people aren’t perfect.Even if the occasion is not an isolated incident but is instead caused by their repeated carelessness, losing your patience isn’t going to make it any better.Give yourself a break(4) Just sit quietly and think. Don’t watch television; don’t even read.It may be hard at first, and you may even feel pretty impatient after a minute or two, but by taking some time out you can slow your world down, and that’s important to develop the attitude necessary to develop patience. Second, stop holding yourself and the world around you to unreachable standards.Remember what is valuable(5) Move the world toward peace by being kind, generous in forgiveness ofothers, being grateful for what is, and taking full advantage of what matters most.When other unimportant things fuel our impatience, taking time to remember any one of these items reduces our tendency to want something different right now.A. Make plans carefully.B. Accept the turns in life gracefully.C. However, some things just can’t be rushed.D. First, take a few minutes to do nothing.E. People think that it is not easy to gain patience.F. Not focusing on what matters most in this life fuels impatience.G. Try to spread out your tasks so that you’re doing only one thing at a time.2.Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat theirvegetables.(1) Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.This will helpyour kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.Allow them to study in blocks of time,such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. (2) Ideal(理想的)study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of the television,as that will encourage passive activity. (3)You'll also need to help your kids find the right place to study.After you've set up a good study time for little learners,set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.(4) Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.(5) This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and beingthere for them with the answers to any questions.The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.A.Pick a place where your children can study properly.B.Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.C.Finally,spend time with your kids when they're studying.D.Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement,too.E.Instead,use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed.F.Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.G.One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedulethat they keep to.3.The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. (1) . By helping them developclassic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.CuriosityYour children need to be deeply curious. (2) . Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time ?” and then try them out. Ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?CreativityTrue creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new(3) . There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimentingwith materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.Personal skillsUnderstanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. (4) . “Whydo you think she’s crying?”“Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?”“If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”Self Expression(5) there are many ways to express thoughts and ideas –music, acting,drawing, building, photography. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.A. So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?B. And we can’t forget science education.C.

Make sure your clothing is clean, not wrinkled and appropriate for the situation (2) .Stand tallThe way you stand, sit and move tells others a lot about you. Standing up straight makes you look and feel confident. When you approach someone, make eye contact and smile to show you’re friendly and interested. (3)Speak upSpeak loudly and clearly enough so that people don’t have to struggle to hear you.If you don’t know what to say, ask questions. (4) When people are talking, pay attention to what they’re saying rather than planning what you’ll say next.And if you’re not sure what they mean, ask!Value peopleMost importantly, show people you care.

Don’t forget little things like brushing your teeth5.Eyes can speakMuch meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.(1) In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if hesenses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.(2) Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. (3) If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. (4) If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking to long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. (5) Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.A.

(2)For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”(3)You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me”would read“13 5 5 20 13 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the messageof a real code, you must have a code book. (4)For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. The message “Bridge out”would actually mean “Meet me.”(5)However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific lettersof the alphabet.答案解析1.【参考答案】(1)F;(2)A;(3)E;考查对上下文语境的理解。
