大学英语试题(4完型填空)
第四部分:完型填空1Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were placespeople could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that wereconcrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean.Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environmentwas anything but natural. the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given morein large areas so that they can live more comfortably as they would in nature. Even theappearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flowthe areas that animals live in.2For the first time in our marriage, I had decided to spend my holiday alone, without my wife. We hadnot – even good ones – should be broken from time to time. Doing everything together with my wife had become very much of a habit with me. So I hadgone off to Italy my own to spend three weeks at a hotel at the seaside. I had hoped it would benice and warm. But actually it was 35 in the shade, enough to roast an ox. I walked about inshorts, my bald head with a handkerchief, sweating and thirsty. And all the time I had to think of my wife, who had gone to the mountains of North Wales and was doubtless enjoying herself verymuch. Why had I, with my sensitive English skin, gone to Italy of all places? At night, I was keptby two bands playing like mad in the bar downstairs.3Most people have heard of Shakespeare (莎士比亚) and are somewhat familiar with his plays,few know much about his life. In fact, little is known for certain about his early years and schooling.is it clear why he left his native Stratford. Apparently he arrived in London without friends or money, and at first had to earn his living by taking care of the horses of theatre-goers. In time he became recognized for his wit and imagination and was invited to become one of the actors.By 1592, when Shakespeare’s name first appeared in the records, he was already a leading player in anacting company under the protection of a high official at court. He had started to plays which attracted large audiences and eventually he became quite a wealthy man. Shortly after 1600 he returned toStratford, where he continued to write plays, them the great tragedies Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear.4It is always interesting to visit another country,especially for those who have never traveled a great deal. Foreign travel can be very educational for anyone if he is interested enough to make preparations beforehand.Learning the language of the new country would be difficult for the traveler, the benefits of such an effort would become obvious immediately on his arrival. It may not seem important to him when hecomfortably stays at home, but knowing how to a meal or book a room is necessary for thenewcomer in a strange country. Without knowing the language, it is very difficult the stranger to understand the people of the new country and their customs.Of course,in our small world it is often possible to find someone understands our own, but this is only second–places and things are not the heart of any country. To get the greatest benefit from a trip another5The car was invented about a hundred years ago. You may know all kinds of the cars’ names, but manypeople don’t know was the inventor of the first car. The first car was invented not by a German, but by an American. His name was Henry Ford.Henry was born in a poor family. He was the oldest of six children. When he was a boy, he becamein mending watches and machines. When he was twelve years old, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week. In the evening he mended watches foranother dollar a week. The life made him strong and able.At that time there was another interest in the life of the young man. He dreamed to make a machine, itcould run a horse, so named “horseless carriage.” He overcame (克服) a lot of difficulties and in April, 1893, the “horseless carriage” was finished, it was the first Car.Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. He was the first inventor of the car in the world.6You may think there is only sand in the desert of the world, but it is not true. In the desert, as weknow, there is a little rain and it is not for most plants. Still we can see some plants live in the desert.There is water in some places in the deserts. We call these places oases (绿洲). In the oases, there are villages and towns. People grow all kinds of vegetables and rice in the fields there. People also liveoutside the oases. They have camels, sheep and other animals. These animals live the desert plants for their food and do not need any water. The animals are useful to the desert people in many ways.They eat the meat and drink the milk of the animals. They the camels for carrying water, food and something else.The people of the desert have to keep from place to place. They must always look for grass orThe desert people arefood and water.7Mr. Brown and his wife had a small bar near a railway station. The bar didn’t closefor trains. So the business was good.At two o’clock one morning, a man was still sitting at the table in the bar. He Mr.Brown’s young wife wanted to go to bed. She the bar several times, but the man kept sleeping. Then at last she went to her husband and said to him, “You have tried to wake that man several times, and he isn’t drinking anything. Why haven’t you sent him away? It’s too late.”“Oh, no, I don’t want to send him away,” he answered a smile. “You know, each time I woke him up, he gave me five pounds. Then he went to sleep again.”8Fire can help people in many ways. Fire can heat water, your house, give light and cook food.But fire can burn things too. Nobody knows people began to use fire. One story from Australia tells about a man a very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous.Fire kills people every year. So you must be careful matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand,or in an emergency, with your coat or a blanket. This keeps the air a fire and kills it.Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it might hurt you.9No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if people read correctly the signsaround them, they can tell the weather will be like the following day or two.For many centuries people have studied the weather and tried to weather forecasting.Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees don’t seem to be very clear. This is of much water vapour in the air and therefore rain will probably come.If some birds fly high, fine weather is coming, but if they fly near the ground, rainy or stormy weatheris on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting they fly very low.If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if a fog appears in the evening, the next day will bring wet weather. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains to makeweather forecasting.10Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannotthe differences between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors drawhuman quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapesare to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers thatpeople to satisfy both body and soul.11A hot dog is one of the most popular American foods. It was named after Frankfimer, a German food.You may h ear “hot dog” in other ways. People sometimes say “hot dog” to express pleasure.For example, a friend may ask you would like to go to the cinema. You might say, “Great! I would love to go.” Or, you could say, “Hot dog! I would love to go.”People also use the expression to describe someone who is a “show-off”, who tries to show everyoneelse how he is. You often hear such a person called a hot dog. He may be a baseball player forexample, who the ball with one hand, making a(n) catch seem more difficult. You know he is a hot dog because when he makes such a catch, he bows to the crowd, hoping to win their cheers.12There was a woman in Detroit, who had two sons. She was worried about them, especially the younger one, Ben, because he was not doing well in school. Boys in his class made jokes about him because heseemed sogo to the Detroit Public Library to read a book a week and do a book report for her.One day, in Ben’s class, the teacher held up a rock and asked if anyone knew it. Ben put up his handand the teacher let himsaid anything. What could he possibly want to say?”Well, Ben not only knew the rock, but also said a lot about it. He named other rocks in its group andthis from doing one of his book reports.Ben later went on to the of his class. When he finished high school, he went to Yale University and at last became one of the best doctors in the United States.13Mike always loves ships. W hen he was older, he said, “I’m going to be a soldier.” But his eyes were notveryThen he said, “I’m going to a small boat and I’m going around the world.” But boats were very expensive, and Mike did not have enough money.Last summer Mike found a swimming school near his house. The lessons did not cost veryand Mike began going to the school at every end of the week and having lessons. Now he is a good swimmer.Last week a little boy said to him, “You’re a very good swimmer. How do you learn to swim so well?”“I’m not good at all,” Mike said and he smiled.“When I’m in the water, I say to myself, th ere arequickly.”14A little boy wanted to meet God, so he started his trip with some cakes and orange juice. On his way hesaw an old woman in the park. The boy sat down next to her. The old lady lookedso he offered her a cake. She accepted it thankfully and smiled at him. Her smile was pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he gave her a bottle of orange juice. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was very happy! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never say a word. As it grew dark, the boy got up to leave. Before he left, he gave her a kiss. She gave him the biggest smile ever.his face. She asked him, “What made you so happy?” He replied, “I had lunch with God. She’s got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!” The oldwoman also returned to her home Her son asked, “Mother, why are you so happy?” She answered, “I ate cakes in the park with God. You know, he’s much younger than I expected.”15Human language is a system of symbols. No other animal has a complex symbolic language that mustbe learned. Animal language is largely basic human language is learned speech, composed of sounds that symbolize things, ideas, actions, and the like.we "say".Since human language is a form of human behavior, there is nothing absolute about it. It has developed lowly throughout human history and will continue to develop. In the English language there are perhaps16A French student went to London for his holiday. He thought, “I know a little English. I think people can understand me!”eggs. Soon the waiter came up to him and asked. “Can I help you?” “A cup of tea and ...” He could notremember the English word for eggs. He looked around but was eating eggs. Then he saw a picture-book on the table next to him. There was a picture of a cock on its cover(封面). He showed the picture to the waiter. “What’s the English word for this?” he asked. “A cock.” answered the waiter. “What do you call a cock’s wife?” he asked again. “A hen.” “And what do you call a hen’s children?” “Chicks.” “Andthey are born?” “Eggs!”“Very well.” said the French student happ ily. “Bring me two eggs and a cup of tea, please.” Then he sat17A man was sitting in the doctor’s office. He was telling the doctor about his problem. “I like football,doctor,” he said. “Please help me. My life hasand it is getting worse and worse. I can’t I’m out there in thel. When I wake up, I’m moreWhat am I going to do?” The doctor sat back and said, “First of all, you have to do your best not to dream about football. Before you are falling asleep, try to think about something else. Try to think that you are at a party and someone is going to give you several million dollars.” “Are you crazy?” the man shouted,“I’llthe ball!”18Once, a king showed two men a large basket in the garden. He told them to fill it with water from atheir work, he left them, saying, “When the sun is down, I will come and see your work.”At last one of them said, “What’s the use of doing this f oolish work? We can fill the basket.” The other man answered, “That is none of your business.” The first man said, “You may do as you like, but Iso foolish.”He threw down his bucket and went away. The other man said no word, and kept on carrying water. AtAs he poured the last bucket of water into the basket, he saw a bright thing in it. He picked it up. It was a beautiful gold ring. Just then the king came. As soon as he saw the ring, he knew that he had found the kind of man he wanted. He told him to keep the ring for himself. “You have done so well in this little thing,”can believe you with many things.”19Two men started a fight in a street. The big man hit the little man hard, and the little man fell down on the ground. Then the big man saw a policeman coming along the street. He hid himself in a shop. The“Go to a doctor’s house, quickly.” he said. The man in the back seat didn’t move speak. “He’s dead!” the policeman thought.When the taxi stopped outside the doctor’s house, the policeman the man in and the doctor looked at him. “He may be dead.” said the doctor as soon as he saw the man.“He isn’t moving.” When the little man heard“I’m not dead,” he said. “I’m alive!” The policeman was very angry. “Do you know better than the doctor?”“Yes, I do.” said the man. “I wanted to get away from the big man, and I’ve got away now. Thank you very much.”20One day, two friends were walking through the desert. During the journey they had a quarrel, and one friend hit the other one in the face.he didn’t say anything.

They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of homefurnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like.

In fact, it’s quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Researchers say there’re three different kinds of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappear quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a result of a particular situation –for example, a family problem, or the death of a loved one. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually doe not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Chronic (长期的) loneliness lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there’s little they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. Whiletemporary and situational loneliness can be a normal and healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad dangerous condition.6.
