完形填空 Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewis

burg, a 1 of about eighty miles. It was late and I
was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fa

st I was 2 , I"d say I was
not overspeeding. Several times I got 3 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I wa

s
holding my fists tightly with   4 .
     At one point along an open highway, I   5 a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road
by now, but as I   6 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me.
Nothing. No cars, no s

uggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to   7 , the only human being for at least a mile in any  8 .
     I started   9 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being   10 , because there was
obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no   11 in going through it.
     Much later that night, after I   12 a group of friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight,
the question of why I"d stopped for that light   13 me. I think I stopped because it"s part of a contract
(合同) we all have with each other. It is not only the   14 , but also it

is an arrangement we have, and
we

trust each other to   15 it: we don"t go through red lights. Like most of us, I am more likely to be
   16 from doing something bad by the social convention(传统习惯) that   17 it than by any law against
it.
     It"s amazing that we ever   18 each other to do the right thing, isn"t it? And we do, too. Trust is our
  19  preference.
     I was so   20 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

     Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
drawing to a close.
     When his heart problems led to an operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery
was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to
operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on
the day before his 48th birthday.
     Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned,
the stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart
attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework,
promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned
his father had died. Jim"s father was 48.
     "I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says. "He felt that if he had not
asked him to look at his homework, his father would not have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea.
The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not
to live to the age of 48.
      Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood
experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less
direct than Jim"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife
diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.

1. Jim was rushed back to operation because         .

A. his heart didn"t work well
B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. the first one wasn"t well performed

2. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim"s case?

A. Jim died at a young age.
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s.

3. From Smoller"s words, we can infer that          .

A. Jim"s father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48

4. Which of the following could have strong effect on one"s physical health according to the text?

题型：河南省期中题难度：| 查看答案

a．One"s genes. b．One"s life in childhood. c．One"s physical education.
d．The date of one"s birthday. e．The opinions one has about something.

making the schedule run   3   than usual. It seemed I was going to be late   4   home and my husband,
being the   5 person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe   6   I hurried, I could
still make it home.
     I was heading inside to  7   for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them
asking for   8 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just   9   a few minutes ago.
     The young man at the counter was trying to be   10   in explaining how to get there, with two other
people making   11  . One of them was   12   trying to give them a whole different route back. It was
then that I walked over to the couple and said, "Would you like to follow me to the   13  ?"
     A look of   14   crossed the woman"s face.
     "I"m going right by there," I said, which wasn"t a(an)   15   since I had just made up my mind to do
  16   that.
     I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right   17   me.
It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to   18 . I felt better than I had
all day and my headache was nearly gone.
     Later, as I arrived home, my husband   19  , "So you aren"t ever late any more."
     I said, "Sometimes it"s   20   to be late."

In the spring of 1926, Yan Qingbao, a 43-year-old farmer, discovered a circular piece of jade(玉) while digging a hole. Driven by curiosity, he dug deeper and found a group of about 400 colourful jade pieces. At the time, he had no idea that his discovery would be as important as other wonders of the world such as China"s Great Wall and Egypt"s pyramids. Since then more than 10000 relics, dating back to between 5000 and 3000 BC have been unearthed at Shanxingdui. These relics include gold, pottery, bone tools and ivory objects. They prove that Shanxingdui contains the ruins of an ancient city that was once thepolitical, economic and cultural center of the ancient Shu Kingdom-the old name for Sichuan. It has helped modern historians realize that Sichuan"s human history goes back more than 5000 years. And, located on the upper part of the Yangtze River, the site challenges the common. idea that Chinese civilization rose from a single source-the Yellow River valley. Shanxingdui was named the Scientific Education Base for China"s Youth in March this year. But still, only four of the Shanxingdui Ruins 12 square kilometers have been uncovered. Who knows what other big surprises are waiting to be shown to the world. 1. The farmer dug a hole and found a group of about 400 colourful jade pieces because___. A. he wanted to look for treasure B. he was curious about it C. he knew there were many relics in the hole D. he wanted to be famous for doing so 2. The underlined word "challenge" here means___. A. change B. agree with C. compete with D. disappoint 3. The main idea of the passage is___. A. Shanxingdui was named the Scientific Education Base for China"s Youth B. Shanxingdui was once the political, economic and cultural center of the ancient Shu Kingdom C. the importance of the discovery of Shanxingdui D. it has helped modern historians realize that Shichuan"s human history goes back more than 5000 years 4. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. About 10400 relics have been unearthed at Shanxingdui. B. The farmer didn"t know his discovery would be as important as other wonders of the world. C. Modern historians realize that Sichuan"s human history goes back more than 5000 years. D. Chinese civilization rose from a single source-the Yellow River valley.
