2007英语六级完型填空模拟训练(一)

完形填空是四、六级，专四等的考试题型之一，它考察学生综合运用语言的能力，即理解篇章和使用词汇、语法的能力。

        Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. __62__ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still __63__ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on __64__ TV. Anyone who didn't know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made __65__ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our __66__ to work together before everything goes to hell.

　　Granted, some amount of delusion(错觉)is probably part of the __67__ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work __68__, in the same spot-until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a __69__ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at __70__ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we __71__ did about the dangers we face. But it turns __72__ that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is __73__ the storm, the quake or the __74__ itself. More often it is ourselves.

        So what has happened in the year that __75__ the disaster on the Gulf Coast?In New Orleans,the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood walls.They have got the walls to __76__ they were before Katrina,more or less.That's not __77__,we can now say with confidence.But it may be all __78__ can be expected from one year of hustle(忙碌).
Meanwhile,New Orleans offcials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to __79__ the sick and the disabled.The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a __80__ out.However,state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken.The __81__ with neighboring communities are on going and difficult.

参考答案及解析:

B 62. A) To B) By C) On D) For
介词辨析。通过对前句的分析理解，知道人性的本质-只有在遭受了痛苦之后才会 重视痛苦，于是后句紧跟的连词应该是表示解释说明，而to为至于，on为在...上面，for为因果连词，只有by可以表示通过。

A 63. A) fresh B) obvious C) apparent D) evident
词义辨析。考生初看本题以为考察的是obvious, apparent, evident的词义辨析，三个词都表示明显的意思，但是根据文章的意思，此处应该是表示记忆犹新的意思，因此只有一个fresh表示的是新鲜。

C 64. A) visual B) vivid C) live D) lively
词义辨析。本题考察更多的是常识性的问题。Live这个单词除了有生活的意思之外，还有现场直播的意思。而剩余的混淆项完全是在误导学生，visual为视觉的，vivid为生动活泼的，lively为活泼的意思。

D 65. A) little B) less C) more D) much
词义辨析。在比较级前面添加副词，只能用副词原级，不能再用比较级。B和C显然错误。根据文章的感情色彩，文章表示的是贬义，在嘲笑人们喜欢做马后炮的事情，因此用much不用little.

A 66. A) reluctance B) rejection C) denial D) decline
词义辨析。Reluctance不情愿，rejection拒绝 denial否定 decline 拒绝。本题一看也仿佛是辨析BCD三个表示否定的词义。但是通过分析这个复杂句我们看到了前面的一个关键词willful blindness. 这个词组近年来在欧美属于流行词汇，频繁的出现在各大媒体中。他的英文解释是Willful blindness is a term used in law to describe a situation in which an individual seeks to avoid civil or criminal liability for a wrongful act by intentionally putting himself in a position where he will be unaware of facts.中文解释简单来说就是"装傻"。而复杂句可以翻译成，因为人们都在装傻事情变得更糟糕，除非真的死到临头了，否则人们都会尽最大可能不合作。而这里用reluctance，正好和前面的willful成反义词对应。

D 67. A) natural B) social C) world D) human
词义辨析。与其说这个是考察词义辨析，不如说是在超越大学生的理解能力考察一个固定搭配human condition.看到这个搭配，学生的瞬间逻辑推理是人为因素，但是实际该词组表示人的生存条件的意思。

C 68. A) revising B) refining C) rebuilding D) retrieving
词义辨析。Revising修订，refining提炼，rebuilding重建，retrieving重新得到。地震之后要干什么呢？当然就是重建了。因此这种题目关键是看句子前面的连词and.

A 69. A) review B) reminder C) concept D) prospect
词义辨析。Review回顾，reminder提醒，暗示，concept概念，prospect希望。句子开头一个强转折BUT，表示后面要说的和前面的内容是相反的意思。同时，后面有一个history，通过这个单词就知道前面用review。

C 70. A) preparing B) protesting C) protecting D) prevailing
固定搭配。 protect sb. from sth 保护某人免受某事。Prepare准备，protest抗议，prevail流行，成功。

B 71. A) never B) ever C) then D) before
词义辨析。对于我们所面临的灾难，我们比以前知道的更多。本句中did是用助动词取代实意动词know。因此这里的连词只能用ever表示以前，而before做副词时一定放在句末或后跟名词。

D 72. A) up B) down C) over D) out
固定搭配。Turn out that/ turn out to be sth 证明。Turn up出现，turn down拒绝，turn over营业额/反复考虑

B 73. A) merely B) rarely C) incidentally D) accidentally
词义辨析。本题涉及两组词，一个是merely和rarely，merely表示仅仅，只不过的意思，rarely表示极少，罕有的意思。而incidentally和accidentally均表示巧合。关键在于区分merely和rarely就可以得出答案。

A 74. A) surge B) spur C) surf D) splash
词义辨析。本题实际考察的单词是形近且意思相差很远的一些单词。Surge表示汹涌澎湃，做动词有急速上升的意思 spur刺激，穿刺 surf海浪，做动词有冲浪的意思 splash溅。这种考察方法很常见但是对同学做题来说很容易。

C 75.A) ensued B) traced C) followed D) occurred

B 76.A) which B) where C) what D) when
where引导的从句作介词to的宾语

A 77.A) enough B) certain C) conclusive D) final

C 78.A) but B) as C) that D) those

B 79. A) exile B) evacuate C) dismiss D) displace

A 80.A) ride B) trail C) path D) track
ride out "安全过渡"，track out "追踪"

D 81.A) conventions B) notifications C) communications D) negotiations
