1、完形填空一

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, 【1】  goes like this， "Your future   【2】 （depend） on many things,but mostly on you. " I can't agree  【3】   (much) with this view. It's true that our future  【4】   (determine) by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination,  【5】 hard work play a more important role. In  【6】  words, we are the master of our own future.

Take Abraham Lincoln for example. He was born in a poor family, and only received a  【7】  (limit) education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he  【8】     （change）not only his own fate but also the history of America.   【9】 to this day. Lincolnis regarded as one of the most inspiring figures in the world.

 【10】 ,  I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.

答案：

【1】which

【2】depends  

【3】more

【4】is determined

【5】and

【6】other

【7】limited

【8】changed

【9】Even

【10】Therefore

解析试题分析：

【1】这里含有一个非限制性定语从句，指物，所以填which。

【2】客观的真理，用一般现在时，且主语是第三人称单数，所以填depends。

【3】这里表示非常赞同，所以填more。

【4】表示经常和反复发生的动作，用一般现在时，且“我们的未来”和“决定”之间是被动关系，故用被动语态。

【5】表示并列关系，所以填and。

【6】句意：换句话说，我们是我们未来的主人。In other words是固定用法，意思是换句话说。

【7】修饰名词，故用形容词形式。

【8】表示发生在过去的事情，故用一般过去时。

【9】句意：甚至到今天，林肯被认为是世界上最有鼓舞力的人物，故填Even。

【10】句意：因此，我坚定地相信我们的未来是靠我们自己双手创造的。

4、阅读理解

LONDON (Reuters Life!) ---- Forget about talking your children into considering life as a doctor or a teacher and start training them for the talent show.

A survey of British parents showed the aspirations (志向) of their children are greatly different from what they dreamed about when considering who they wanted to be when they grew up.

Although astronaut (宇航员) still remains fairly high on the list of careers (事业) kids dream about these days, others like doctor and teacher have been taken the place of by the desire (欲望) to win good name and money as a sporting hero, pop star or actor.

The parents of children aged 5 to 11 said the choice of lawyer had dropped by only one place on a top 10 list to sixth, while teacher had dropped to ninth from top in the last 25 or more years.

The survey for British TV channel “Watch” found a great difference between the genders (性别) of today’s young people when compared with their parents’ dreams 25 years or more ago.

Playing professional football, being an astronaut and joining the firefighting service topped the boys’ choices, while girls are more likely to be dreaming of taking to the stage as a pop star or actress or joining the medical profession.

When asked what they would like their children to do for a living, today’s parents still like the academic (学术的) professions (职业), with law and medicine scoring highly, while being a boss came third.

Parents also praised job happiness above wealth (财富) when it comes to their hopes for their children.

Nearly 70 percent of the parents surveyed thought that they failed to follow their dreams when it came to their career, with 37 percent thinking it was caused by a lack of aspiration and not having the necessary conditions.

【1】From the passage we know that most parents still hope that in the future their children can take up ______.

A．jobs such as musicians, singers and dancers

D．jobs which will be well paid only

【2】According to the survey for British TV channel “Watch”, which of the following is the boys’ best career choice?

A．A pop star      B．An actor   C．A doctor  D．A firefighter

【3】What can be learnt from the passage?

A．Parents’ hope for their children’s career did not change too much.

B．Parents pay much attention to the income of their children.

C．Less than half of the parents who were surveyed didn’t follow their dreams.

D．Most parents didn’t have the necessary conditions to realize their dreams.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Many reasons cause the change of children’s dreams.

B．Parents’ dreams are different form children’s.

C．Parents are changing their own dreams.

D．Children’s dreams are always changing.
