2014年上海高考英语新题型专题练习五（附答案）2014年高考英语语法填空练习Part-5Directions: Read the following two passages. Fill in each blank with one proper word or the proper form of the given word to make the passage coherent. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.(A)On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat 25 (pull) out to sea.Two 2-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a footbal l. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella 26 (tie) to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for 27 and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.Everything went quiet in my head, Tim recalls. I was trying 28 (figure) out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. At one point, I considered turning back, he says. I wondered if I was putting my life at risk. After 30 minutes 29 struggling, he was close to yell to the boys, Take down the umbrella!Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, 30 the waves were almost too strong for him.Let’s aim for the pier(码头), Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. Can you guys swim? he cried. A little bit, the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack 31 (wear) life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.Are we almost there? they asked again and again. Yes, Tim told them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.(B)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more bythe detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident 32 I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive 33 our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, 34 (stop) only when 1 had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our 35 (plan) trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is 36 I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and 37 (energize), smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car window, at baby pigs following their mother, or fish 38 (leap) out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life.And new horizons.We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out 39 told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour 40 uncover the best part of a journeyand the best part of yourself.。

His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, and the price of everything was rising.

Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfil their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years. ____25____ (earn) enough money, they finally could move from their two-bedroom home to a seven-bedroom home in a rich neighbourhood. They focused their energies on trying to have ____26____ they considered important for a good life: membership in the local country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. ____27____ much they earned, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financial insecurity that ____28____ (acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack, ____29____ cost the family much. One thing led to ____30____, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years ____31____ Alan and Linda managed to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable lesson from their lives and felt quite blessed. Only now, as they think of what ____32____ (remain) — a solid, loving marriage, a dependable income, and good friends —do they realize that true abundance comes not from gathering fortunes, but rather from appreciating.(B)We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents. In real life, however, this is not always possible. The poem ―Those Winter Sundays‖ by Robert Hayden expresses the speaker‘s regret over the way the speaker, when he was young, ____33____ (treat) his father.

In fact, mature love often requires self-discipline and self-sacrifice.During our stressful teen years, we may find that our parents, especially our fathers, have difficulty____38____ (show) their love for us verbally — sometimes when we need it most. This is certainly very discouraging. However, if we remember ____39____ (be) grateful or not so self-centered, we will see that their love has always been there, only ____40____ (express) in ways different from what we may have expected.(A)I hated dinner parties. But I decided (25)__________ (give) them another try because I‘m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because (26)__________ dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York. In New York, ―I‘m having a dinner party‖ means ―I‘m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you (27)__________ hardly afford and we‘ll be sharing the check evenly,(28)__________ you eat.‖ Worse, in Manhattan, there is always someone who(29)__________ (leave) before the bill arrives. They‘ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don‘t drink, end up (30)__________ (pay) even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: ―Where are you going?‖ And it‘s not like that I can‘t say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people‘s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is like a gathering at Bloomingdale‘s, a well-known department store. Personally, I think dinner parties in London are (31)__________ (impressive) than this.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn (District) and Queens (District) in New York. But at Mallery‘s, when I said that I (32) __________ (be) to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.(B)Several factors led to my recent car accident. First of all, a heavy snow and freezing rain that had fallen the day before made the road I was driving on dangerous. The road had been cleared, (33)__________ it was still dangerously icy. Despite the slippery road, I was stupidly going along (34)__________ about 50 miles an hour, instead of driving more cautiously. Another factor was a dirty green van that suddenly pulled onto the road from a small crossroad of the street about fifty yards ahead of me.。

2014上海高考语法新题型练习（2）（A）According to the latest research in the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of boy’s and girl’s conversations from an early age. She says that little girls’ conversation is1 definite than boys’ and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts 2 they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for woman, private talking is a way 3 (establish) and test intimacy(亲切感). 4 men, private talking is a way to explore the power struture of a relationship.Teaching is one job 5 the differences between men’s and women’s ways of talking show. 6 a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. When a woman teaches 7 woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain 8 have a sexual tendency in its programming, otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.Answers:1 less 2 though 3 to 4 For 5 where 6 When 7 another 8 must(B)99 Percent Occupy Wall StreetA month ago on September 17, a group of college students gathered in Zuccotti Park, a private plaza near Wall Street in New York, to show their anger to the US government.

Several dishes _____26_____(consider) real delicacies in other parts of the world, ____27______haggis in Scotland or fugu (puffer fish) in Japan, are banned from the U.S. food market because of potential health risks. But looking at the issue from a reversed angle, there are actually several common foods eaten in America that are banned in other parts of the world.The shocking truth is that many of our favorite foods, like boxed mac and cheese and yogurt, include ingredients____28______ other countries have established as potentially harmful for health, and therefore are banned. Clearly, mac and cheese on its own isn't poisonous in any way, but the yellow food colorings #5 and #6 have been shown to cause hypersensitivity (过敏) in children, and are therefore banned in countries including Norway, Finland, and Australia. ___29_____yogurt and other milk products, it is the rBGH and rBST that some countries are concerned with --- these growth hormones ____30_______(ban) in several regions including the European Union, Canada, and Japan ___31______their potentially dangerous impacts on the health of both humans and cows.Key:25.To protect26.considered27.like 28.that 29.For 30.are banned 31.because of(B)How many times have you let your basic contact lens hygiene slide, not doing things like washing your hands before ___32_____(handle) your lenses, using tap water _____33______saline solution(盐水溶液) or sleeping in your lenses?During a busy week __34_____work, a woman named Erin was out of contact lens solution but didn't have time to buy any, so she used tap water ____35_____(store)her contact lenses.That would soon prove to be a mistake: She contracted a rare amoeba(阿米巴，变形虫) infection____36_______ began to attack her cornea(眼角膜)."The pain was extreme," she told Dr. Travis Stork on The Doctors.

Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.(A)Many children first learn the value of money 25 receiving an allowance (津贴). The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age 26 financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. 27 get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear 28 , if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is 29 (show) young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they 30 do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. 31 (require) children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest(利息).That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.(B)Do you know how 32 is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons 33 (suggest) that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about 34 we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which 35 (relate) to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered 36 if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered 37 when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully 38 (function). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research 39 mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics.

第I卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AEP Portable HeaterWe all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day. no questions asked. Satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it to our expertise and your money will be given back to you.Now, we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. if you order that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.Take action right now!21. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A. the heat of the EPB. the safety of the EPC. the appearance of the EPD. the material of the EP22. From the passage, we can learn that the EP____.A. doesn’t burn up oxygenB. runs without any noiseC. makes people get sleepyD. is unsuitable for children and pets23. The und erlined word “evenly” in paragraph 4 probably means____.A. continuouslyB. separatelyC. quicklyD. equally24. The main purpose of the passage is to____.A. persuade people to buy the productB. advise people to save on heating billsC. report the new development of portable heatersD. compare the difference of different heart brandsBThey baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.25. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s__.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell26. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects27. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.28. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.29. It can be learned from the passage that stars today____.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.31. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.32. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh.

Ducks are immune to some 41 diseases found in hens. Some breeds of duck produce bigger eggs than hens. In 42 , ducks lay eggs over a longer season than hens do. Poultry (禽类) keepers with gardens have less to worry about if they keep ducks rather than hens because the former are unlikely to dig up plants and destroy roots. While both hens and ducks 43 the garden by eating pests, hens are known to damage grass beds. Ducks, on the other hand, will search for insects more 44 . Only very delicate plants are at risk from the broad, webbed feet of ducks. Like all waterbirds, ducks need 45 to water, and duck keepers typically provide this by building a pond. Something this large is not absolutely necessary, however, ducks need only to be able to 46 their heads in the water to keep their nose clean. If a pond is provided, though, it is important to keep baby ducks away from it until they are old enough to put up with the cool temperature of the water. When 47 ducks, one has to consider just how many the land will support. The rule is generally about 100 ducks per acre. If more than this proportion is introduced, there is a risk of pressing the soil, which can lead to 48 conditions for long periods as the rain is not easily absorbed into the ground. While ducks offer many advantages over hens, they must be given a greater quantity of food, especially if regular eggsare 49 . An adult duck will eat between 170 to 200 grams of food a day. If the ducks live near grass and a pond, they will be able to find for themselves approximately 70% of their daily dietary requirements in warmer months but less than half that in colder times. Therefore, it is important that they be 50 on enough food, such as grain, every day.III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. More and more shoppers are buying things online these days, allowing them to avoid 51 salespeople and long lines at checkout counters. In spite of online convenience, 52 , there are some items — like clothes — that customers prefer to 53 before buying. In light of this, two companies are finding ways to modernize stores and 54 the gap between online and in-store retail (零售). A software company that also happens to sell designer jeans, Hointer has created a fast and painless shopping 55 for its customers. Shoppers walk into a Hointer store and select one of the many pairs of jeans 56 down from bars. Then they point their smartphones at the tag and 57 the Hointer app, after which they select the size and press “try on.” The app then directs them to a specific dressing room. German-made robots bring out the 58 jeans and deliver them through a chute (斜槽) to the dressing room in about 30 seconds. Immediately after 59 pairs of jeans are dropped through another chute, the “outbox,” they disappear from the list in the app. Purchases at Hointer are made with a swipe (刷卡) of a credit card. And interacting with a salesperson is optional! This allows Hointer to hire fewer people and focus on their ultimate goal: developing 60 that supports a retail revol u t i o n . / p >。

This has helped lead to a situation 6 over 1.5 million people need a transfer but only about 10,000 receive a new organ each year. In order to increase the number of organ donors, a new policy will require drivers to state 7 they are willing to become organ donors or not.The practice of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful. In America, the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois where drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60%. Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.However in China organ donation is a(n) 8 (farmiliar)concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas. Some 9 (argue)that the policy puts an evil eye on driving. 10have criticized the project because it predicts death.

The last question at least is easy 3 (answer): we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 source nations of those 4 (send) immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and the former Soviet Union.

In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed­type plant 38 grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she 39 (invite) me to the one­and­only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she hadreceived her Ph.D. degree.

Her words still hurt: The trouble with you is 25 you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view? I sho ok my head stubbornlyand felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, 26 the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.If you come by right now, the receptionist said, the 27 will fit you in.I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist wouldbe so eager to treat so meone at such short notice? 28 wasn’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even 29 worried.

Although this might beexcellent advice in matters 32 (concern) family and friends, borrowing and lending are frequently the foundation of a booming economy.A loan is a sum of money borrowed for a 33 (limit) period.A loan may be obtained from an individual or from an institution such as a bank and is generally granted at a specific rate of interest. Interest is the fee 34 the borrower pays to use the money. An extremely high rate of interestand certainly any amount more than law permits is called usury.Lending money can be a risky business, for 35 is always the possibility that the borrower may not be able to pay the loan. For this reason, a lender generally requires the borrower to register something 36 valuable of his or hers, known as collateral (抵押), as a part of the loan agreement. A house or an automobile, investments in the stock market, even the value of a business, are all examples of collateral(担保物) that a lender 37 be willing to accept in the event that the borrower fails to pay the loan.There are two major sorts of loans: consumer loans and commercial loans. A consumer loan is 38 that is made to an individual, and it may be to buy a house or an automobile or to finance an education. A commercial loan may be used to start a new business, pay for new equipment and staff, or expand an office or factory. The business of making loans also contributes to a healthy economy 39 enhancing the employment market. Loans allow consumers to buy and improve homes,creating jobs for carpenters, architects and etc.Loans enable businesses to expand, and when these businesses open a branch office or a new store, they also increase their consumption of office supplies, furnishings, and computers.In a 40 (boom) economy, money circulates quickly, and each deal represents earnings for someone. It may be reasonable to say that a certain level of debt is normal, even necessary, to a healthy economy as long as the individual borrower or business is careful and try not to take on more than a manageable amount of debt.。

Fill in the other blanks with words that are correct in structure and proper in meaning.(A)One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept 25 (walk) up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. This boy has lost his family, he wrote. He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, 26 I’m very worried about him. Can you help?I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer 27 , and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympatheticallyThe first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only 28 (look) up to look at the children’s drawingson the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived 29 than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?Perhaps he simply needs someone 30 (share) his pain with, I thought. Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering. Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.31 ‘s your turn, he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that onewithout any wordscan reach out to 32 person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens(B)Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and 33 (spend) the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever 34 (record) on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, 35 (well-equip) with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time 36 (productive), dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen.At that point, I understood that nothing I 37 (write) could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I 38 (set) down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas andquotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects 39 I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy 40 (preserve) the present so as to live it in the future.I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memoriesI just live, and the memories form themselves.。

通过样题，我们可以发现新题型语法填空的形式，基本可以分为两种，提供提示词的和没有提示词的。
前者的考察点在于，以提示词的适当形式填空；后者则以连接词、或代词、冠词、介词、固定搭配等为考察点。
相较语法选择题，鉴于没有可供排除的选项，故新题型的难度相对较高，需要考生有一个扎实的语法基础，方可游刃有余的应对此题型。
虽然2014年的考生大部分都花了十几年的时间来训练选择题，对选择题的题型及应试技巧烂熟于心，但是在考纲未发生重大变化的前提下，“万变不离其宗”，纵然题型有变，但是主考的语法点并未发生变化。
只要考生对语法的基本知识有系统的掌握，加之多年选择题的大量操练，一样可以应对新题型，无需感到紧张不安。
