2020届二轮复习 完形填空文体分类练(四) 议论文 A (2019·广州调研) Why study history? People live in the present. They plan for the __1__. History, however, is the study of the past. Given all the __2__ and pressures that come from living in the present and __3__ what is yet to come, why bother with what has happened? Given all the available branches of knowledge, why insist — as most __4__ systems do — on history? And why urge many students to study even more history than they are __5__ to? Any subject of study needs __6__: supporters must explain why it is worth __7__. Like most widely accepted __8__, history attracts people who simply __9__ the information and modes of thought involved. But for people who are less interested in the subject and more __10__ about why they should bother with it, a clearer explanation of its purpose is required. __11__do not perform heart transplants, improve highway design, or arrest criminals. In a society that quite correctly expects education to serve __12__ purposes, history's functions can seem more difficult to __13__ than those of engineering or medicine. History is in fact very useful, actually __14__, but the products of historical study are often less __15__ and immediate than those of other subjects. History helps us understand people, societies and how they __16__. For example, how can we __17__ past wars and future threats without using historical materials? Unfortunately, major aspects of the society's operation cannot be set up as precise experiments. __18__, history must serve, however imperfectly, as our __19__, helping us understand who we are and why we do what we do. This, fundamentally, is why we cannot __20__ history. 语篇解读:很多人有这样的疑惑:我们所有的需求和压力都来自于活在当下,以及对未来的预期,为什么还要在已经发生的事情上花费时间呢?虽然历史研究的成果往往不如其他学科那样立竿见影,但是,历史学科实际上是非常重要的,它能帮助我们了解我们是谁和我们为什么要做我们所做的事情。 1.A.process B.result C.future D.environment 解析:选C 根据该句中的“plan for”,并结合常识可知,人们为未来做计划。C项意为“未来”,故C项正确。A项意为“过程”;B项意为“结果”;D项意为“环境”。 2.A.causes B.demands C.choices D.orders 解析:选B 根据该句中的“and pressures that come from living in the present”并结合选项可知,空处与名词“pressures”对应,表示“ 来自活在当下的需求和压力”。B项意为“需求”,故B项正确。A项意为“原因”,C项意为“选择”,D项意为“次序”,都与语境不符。 3.A.avoiding B.fearing C.celebrating D.anticipating 解析:选D 根据上文的“They plan for the __1__.”以及该句中的“__3__ what is yet to come”,并结合语境可知,此处是说对未来的预期。D项意为“预期”,故D项正确。A项意为“避免”,B项意为“恐惧”,C项意为“庆祝”,都与语境不符。 4.A.financial B.social C.educational D.political 解析:选C 根据下文中的“urge many students to study even more history”可知,我们总是敦促学生学习更多历史知识;结合该句中的“Given all the available branches of knowledge, why insist — as most __4__ systems do —on history?”可知,考虑到所有可用的知识分支,为什么大多数教育体系坚持教授历史?C项意为“教育的”,符合语境。A项意为“财政的”,B项意为“社会的”,D项意为“政治的”,都与语境不符。 5.A.required B.invited C.forced D.permitted 解析:选A 根据该句“And why urge many students to study even more history than they are __5__ to?” ,并结合常识可知,此处表示为什么要敦促许多学生学习比他们被要求学习的还要多的历史呢?A项意为“要求”,故A项正确。B项意为“邀请”,C项意为“强迫”,D项意为“允许”,都与语境不符。 6.A.direction B.exploration C.justification D.revolution 解析:选C 根据该句“Any subject of study needs __6__: supporters must explain why it is worth __7__.”,并结合常识可知,任何学科的研究都需要正当的理由(justification),支持者必须解释其值得关注(attention)的原因,故C项正确。A项意为“方向”,B项意为“探索”,D项意为“改革”,都与语境不符。 7.A.assessment B.attention C.expectation D.mention 解析:选B 参见上题解析。B项意为“关注”,故B项正确。A项意为“评估”;C项意为“期望”;D项意为“提及”。 8.A.subjects B.concepts C.topics D.concerns 解析:选A 根据该段第一句中的“subject”,并结合语境可知,该处指“大多数被普遍接受的学科”。A项意为“学科”,故A项正确。B项意为“概念”,C项意为“话题”,D项意为“忧虑”,都与语境不符。 9.A.provide B.receive C.share D.like 解析:选D 根据该句中的“history attracts people who simply __9__ the information and modes of thought involved” 并结合语境可知,历史吸引了喜欢这些信息以及相关的思维方式的人。D项意为“喜欢”,故D项正确。A项意为“提供”,B项意为“接受”,C项意为“分享”,都与语境不符。 10.A.doubtful B.worried C.thoughtful D.certain 解析:选A 根据“why they should bother with it”并结合全句内容可知,对于那些对这门学科不太感兴趣,而且对为什么要花费时间学这门学科(历史)有疑问的人来说,需要更清楚地解释学这门学科的目的。A项意为“怀疑”,故A项正确。B项意为“担心的”,C项意为“思考的,深思的”,D项意为“肯定”,都与语境不符。 11.A.Supporters B.Historians C.Audiences D.Teachers 解析:选B 根据上文可知,历史学科吸引了喜欢历史信息和相关思维方式的人;而对于对历史学科不太感兴趣的人来说,则需要更清楚地向他们解释学习这一学科的目的;并结合语境可知,该处说明历史学家的特点,并引出对上述问题的解释。B项意为“历史学家”,故B项正确。A项意为“支持者”;C项意为“观众”;D项意为“老师”。 12.A.public B.multiple C.different D.useful 解析:选D 根据该句中的“In a society that quite correctly expects education to serve __12__ purposes”,并结合该段尾句中的“History is in fact very useful”和常识可知,社会期望教育有作用。D项意为“有用的”,故D项正确。A项意为“公共的”,B项意为“多种多样的”,C项意为“不同的”,都与语境不符。 13.A.define B.expect C.satisfy D.ignore 解析:选A 根据该句中的“history's functions can seem more difficult to __13__ than those of engineering or medicine”,并结合常识可知,历史学科的功能似乎比工程或医学学科的功能更难定义。A项意为“给下定义”,故A项正确。B项意为“预期”,C项意为“满足”,D项意为“忽视”,都与语境不符。 14.A.optional B.attractive C.accessible D.essential 解析:选D 根据该句中的“History is in fact very useful, actually __14__”,并结合语境可推知,空处和“very useful”对应,说明历史事实上是非常有用的,实际上是非常重要的。D项意为“极其重要的”,故D项正确。A项意为“可选择的”,B项意为“吸引人的”,C项意为“可进入的”,都与语境不符。 15.A.valuable B.interesting C.instructive D.accurate 解析:选C 根据该句中的“but the products of historical study are often less __15__ and immediate than those of other subjects” 可知,历史研究的成果往往不如其他学科的成果更有教育意义和即时的效果。C项意为“有教育意义的”,故C项正确。A项意为“有价值的”,B项意为“有趣的”,D项意为“精确的”,都与语境不符。 16.A.imagine B.behave C.fight D.fade 解析:选B 根据下文所举的例子,并结合该句“History helps us understand people, societies and how they __16__.”可知,历史帮助我们了解人、社会以及他们是如何表现的。B项意为“表现”,故B项正确。A项意为“想象”,C项意为“战斗”,D项意为“褪色”,都与语境不符。 17.A.prevent B.remember C.evaluate D.declare 解析:选C 根据下文“Unfortunately, major aspects of the society's operation cannot be set up as precise experiments.”;并结合该句中的“how can we __17__ past wars and future threats without using historical materials”可推知,如果不使用历史资料,我们如何评估过去的战争和未来的威胁呢?C项意为“评估”,故C项正确。A项意为“阻止”;B项意为“记得”;D项意为“宣告”。 18.A.Consequently B.Alternatively C.Fortunately D.Admittedly 解析: 选A 根据上文可知,社会运转的重要方面不能作为精确的实验来设置,并结合该句可知,因此,历史必须作为我们的实验室(laboratory),帮助我们了解我们是谁和我们为什么要做我们所做的事情。A项意为“因此”,故A项正确。B项意为“或者”,C项意为“幸运地”,D项意为“不可否认地”,都与语境不符。 19.A.library B.laboratory C.clinic D.museum 解析:选B 参见上题解析。B项意为“实验室”,故B项正确。A项意为“图书馆”,C项意为“诊所”,D项意为“博物馆”,都与语境不符。 20.A.make up for B.give in to C.get close to D.stay away from 解析:选D 根据上文可知,历史帮助我们了解我们是谁和我们为什么要做我们所做的事情;据此可知,此处是说我们不能远离历史。D项意为“远离”,故D项正确。A项意为“弥补”,B项意为“屈服”,C项意为“接近”,都与语境不符。 B (2019·重庆调研)I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.
