Once again, rumors are spreading．Judgement Day, this time, is set to happen on December 21st, 2012．The date originated from the Mayan calendar, but actually gained popularity through the hit movie, "2012"．How will the world end? And how do we know the exact date? There are many theories: A meteoroid from outer space; a solar storm; a shift in the earth's poles; bla bla bla．They all supposedly pointed to the date of December 21st, 2012．Unfortunately, none of it is true．Zhu Jin, director of Beijing Planetarium, said, "For earth itself, the end will be billions of years away from now．And for us humans, there is a very small chance that we may be affected by some astronomical factors．However, we don't have the ability to foresee such events so far．So when someone tells you the world is going to end on an exact date, it must be fake．"But the truth hasn't stopped people from believing．In the sci-fi movie "2012", the director imagined the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar．The film earned nearly 770 million US dollars worldwide. Ning Hong, Hebei Province, said．"The movie 2012 did get one thing right．There are arks eing made in China, But they're not being built secretly inside the mountains．They are constructed here in the courtyard of a factory．"In April, Liu Qiyuan quit his furniture business and devoted himself to developing these huge round balls．He doesn't believe the end is near, but he wants to be prepared just in case．Liu Qiyuan, the "Ark" builder, said, "The concept originated twenty years ago．The Tangshan earthquake had flattened our house, so I wanted to build a shelter that wouldn't fall．Then in 2004, I saw the tsunami in Indonesia that killed so many people．Then I realized it should be something that could withstand the earthquake and float on water．"Liu is hoping to use his invention as a life boat on the sea．He's planning to test his product on the water next year．It turns out that rumour, though false, is good for business．Doomsday discounts and products are hot on many online stores．While it's surely attracted attention, many complain that it misleads consumers．Their purpose is to promote products．If they believe the world is going to end．who would buythings? Money would be useless, too．41．The purpose of the movie "2012" was .A．to popularize scientific knowledge for the viewersB．to make a profit from the viewersC．to tell the viewers an interesting factual storyD．to warn the viewers of a disastrous event【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。

About a third of all common cancers in the United States, China and Britain could be prevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on Friday.Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in Britain and the United States, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers.“Even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a WCRF medical and scientific adviser.WCRF findings are supported by World Health Organization (WHO) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases.Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率) is rising. Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.Rachel Thompson, the WCRF’s head of science, said that while the message was simple — that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers — it was still a difficult one to get across.The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundred s of thousands of people who don’t smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.“There isn’t a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” Baldini sai d.63. Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixth paragraph?A. protectB. preventC. developD. cure【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。

It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ，experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was notuntil five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.1.

我们可以简单地理解为，完形填空的命题形式决定了完 形文章由两部分信息构成：
未知信息 即20处填空
＋
已知信息即20处 填空之外的原文
＝
一篇完整 的文章
了解了未知信息与已知信息之间的这种紧密互动关系，就 不难理解命题人之所以将 20 处未知信息设置在一篇文章之 中，即设置在一个庞大的已知信息体系之中，就是要求考生先 对这些已知信息进行充分地把握和理解，通过已知信息去破解 未知信息。这就是“藕虽断，丝还连；文不全，意相牵”。
因此，考生必须认识到这 20 处填空绝对不是单纯存在的信 息点，这 20 处填空所在的句子也不是孤立的句子，它们是通篇 文章的一部分，是属于一个整体的。因此，破解这 20 处填空首 先必须对整篇文章进行把握，从把握整体的高度去“俯视”整体 中的这 20 处具体填空。
完形填空答题的宏观思路为：

高三英语二轮复习课时训练（二）一、阅读理解：ALike people，plants experience stress.And also，like people，the response to that stress can determine success.Bad environmental conditions，such as drought，flood，heat and other stresses，affect yields(产量) more than crop pests and diseases.We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields，said Stephen Howell，a professor of genetics and cell biology.Plant cells produce proteins (蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell.Under normal conditions，these proteins are folded into their normal，healthy structures as they are produced.When a plant is under stress，its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins.Then a builtin system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell，” said Howell.In response to the alarm，another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.“As it turns out，responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants，” said Howell.“This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”For plants in the wild，this response is a help for survival，he said.In production of agriculture crops，however，this response reduces yields.“You don't want crop plants to stop growing，” Howell said.“You wantthem to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”With the new understanding of this stress response，the next step may be to silence the alarm system，said Howell.“What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses.That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”1．According to the text，an alarm in the plant cells is caused by ．A．the folded proteinsB．the changed proteinsC．the defensive measuresD．the stress response genes2．The energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions ．A．helps the plants to surviveB．helps to maintain high yieldsC．keeps the plants growingD．helps to produce proteins3．The underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “ ”．A．prevent B．startC.continue D．promote4．How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?A. By making crop plants keep more energy.B．By making crop plants stop growing.C．By making the alarm system stop working.D．By making the alarm system respond quickly.BAs the world’s urban population gets bigger, cities are struggling to provide the basic services that their residents need. One of the most pressing problems is public transport. Take a look at the crisis facing the city of London. At no time in history has there been such a mass migration of people from countryside to city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities—twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty, and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad in the next century, unless we find solutions soon.London is a good example of the problems facing many major urban centers. It was the world’s first megacity—the first with a population of a million people. Its expansion was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which , among other things, powered the world’s first underground railway.Today, London has one of the world’s most extensive transport systems. But, because it was the first city to build a railway network, much of the infrastructure—the trains and buses, the tracks and tunnels—is now hopelessly out-of-date, and needs urgent modernization.London’s future success depends very much on transport. The city lies at the heart of Britain’s road and rail networks and problems in London can rapidly affect other areas of the country. On an average morning, overground trains bring passengers to stations on the outskirts of the city, and they then continue their journeys by underground, bus or taxi.5. More than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities in years.A. 30B. 23C. 17D. 20076. With the development of society is becoming one of the most serious problems of cities.A. poor housingB. povertyC. unemploymentD. public transport7. The underlined word “megacity” in paragraph two means .A. a city with a population of a million people.B. a city with the problem of public transport.C. a city with a lot of car factories.D. a city with much pollution.8. The railway network of London is .A. very helpfulB. in good useC. behind the timesD. first-class9.

Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay. I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.For my 10th birthday, my sister and I Were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.This statistic is depressing, so it's important forms to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action. I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.24.From the underlined sentence in Para.1, we can learn the author_____.A.seldom went surfing at the seaB.forgot his experiences about the oceanC.never went back to his hometownD.had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay25.According to the second paragraph, Australian marine life_____.A.is escaping from the Coral Sea graduallyB.depends on reefs for living greatlyC.may be faced with dangerD.is protected better than that in other oceans26.The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to____.A.contribute to a complete eco-systemB.prevent more marine species being endangeredC.set up a large nature reserve for reefsD.raise more teenagers' environmental awareness27. Angus and the author created a little video to______.A.urge more people to take action to protect the marine speciesB.inspire more people to explore the secret of the oceanC.share their childhood experiences about the oceanD.bring back to people their memory of ocean speciesCA water lily painting,Water Lily Pond, by Claude Monet, the French impressionist artist, was sold for more than $80 million Tuesday, breaking the auction(拍卖）record for himself. Water Lily Pond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put up for sale during his lifetime.The four paintings of Monet's water lily garden were signed and dated by the artist in 1919. One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, while another was sold at auction in 1992 for $ 12.1 million and is in a private collection now. The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War II."After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the telephone, the painting finally was sold to a collector for $80. 4 million, setting a new world record price for the artist at auction," said Olivier Camu, a scholar of impressionist art.The last record for a Monet work was set in May when Le Pont du chemin de fer a Argenteuil sold for $41.4 million.The painting sold Tuesday was bought at a 1971 New York auction for $ 320,000. It has not been exhibited since.Monet's later works had unique characteristics, especially Grandes decorations, another good example, which was bedded in Musee de I'Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet's death in 1926.Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny, France. He selected different water lilies in an effort to get as many different colored flowers as possible, specially creating the garden as a base for his paintings.28. According to the passage, Water Lily Pond broke the last record for Monet's paintings by ______.A. $12 millionB. $39 millionC. $41.4 millionD. $0. 32 million29.What can we learn about Water Lily Pond?A.It was once auctioned in America.B.It was cut into halves before World War II.C.It had been kept in New York for over 40 years.D.It was once put in Musee de I ' Orangerie.30.What does Olivier Camu think of the auction?A. Exciting.B. Inspiring.C. Disappointing.D. Frightening.31.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Monet and his water lily paintingsB.Monet a great impressionist artistC.Monet's garden and its characteristicsD.Water Lily Pond—Monet's best-known paintingDNeed for closure is a psychological term that describes a person's desire for a firm answer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situationwe're in. Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we're rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we're wrong and even how creative we are.In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. It's called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower people's need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that they'll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.In making any big decision, it's not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldn't be rushed. The problem is that we don't keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders.Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages butwhat the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you're under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, it's even more important to think twice.32. How does "need for closure" probably come into being?A. By nature.B. By accident.C. By acquiring.D. By imitating.33. It can be inferred that a high need for closure_____.A. brings about more stressB. causes discomfort and uncertaintyC. leads to not so good decisionsD. promotes one's creativity34. In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants ' need for closure by telling them to_____.A. be cautious about their judgmentsB. value their first impressionC. be responsible for their bossD. pay little attention to the consequences35. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A Another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life.B.Some serious consequences of making decisions.C.Other approaches to making important decisions.D.More helpful solutions to high need for closure.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分,满分10 分）：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

To being or not to beingA few weeks after arriving in China I received an e-mail informing us foreigners how to look after ourselves in summer, including a warning not to eat cold foods.Why are cold foods 41 ? According to traditional Chinese medical beliefs, cold food should be avoided in summer in case one 42 a "summer disease", which sounds to me a bit 43 a cocktail you might drink at a pool party.The idea of food being linked to well-being is hardly 44 to China. But in the West we think 45 of the rules of what is and isn't good for you. It seems each week there is a new study praising the 46 of tomatoes or claiming animal fats are bad for you. The next week another expert will swear you should 47 away from tomatoes and eat more pork belly. The 48 thing to do is to pay attention to the ones you agree with and 49 the ones you don't, eventually 50 a strict diet of dark chocolate and red wine.In China, however, there is a range of 51 beliefs about food and how 52 you eat impacts your health. There is 53 a saying - a good 54 should first be a good chef.To an outsider, these rules can seem a little strange, and 55 most of the reasons for eating certain foods are fairly 56 , others can seem puzzled if they are not the simple philosophies you are 57 to. So, I ignored the 58 mail, continuing to eat cold food at 59 throughout summer. So far, so good. Anyway, a cold food is just the medicine to 60 the summer heat.41.
