試題分析:本文講述了一個人的后車輪附近藏著一只蜂王,導(dǎo)致一群蜜蜂追隨它的汽車的故事。最后他給養(yǎng)蜂人打電話,讓他把蜜蜂給取走了。
小題1:考查名詞。connection連接; difference不同; communication 交流,通訊; similarity相似。這里指的是人與昆蟲的區(qū)別,注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在對兩者的不同作比較。故選B。
小題2:考查名詞。passengers乘客; insects昆蟲; former前者; first第一。根據(jù)下文the latter quickly,所以與它相對應(yīng),故選C。
小題3:考查動詞。give給; keep保持; pay花費; draw attention 引起注意。句中的while 表對比。前面說偷乘車輛或船只的人通常都會盡量不讓人發(fā)現(xiàn),而“偷”乘車輛或船只的昆蟲則不同,怎么個不同?那就是它們會draw attention (引起注意)。故選D。
小題4:考查形容詞。unfortunate不幸的; careless粗心的; unpleasant討厭的,令人不快的; hopeless沒有希望的。根據(jù)下文可知,這個人很不走運。故選A。
小題5:考查名詞。front前面; back后面; left左邊; right右邊。根據(jù)文章最后一段倒數(shù)第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知,此處應(yīng)填 back。故選B。
小題6:考查動詞。drive開始; continue繼續(xù); push推; forc強迫。既然通過檢查沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)什么問題,所以他就繼續(xù)(continue)趕路。故選B。
小題7:考查副詞。normally正常地; gently輕輕地; quietly安靜地; immediately立刻。由于是一種奇怪的聲音,并且他幾次下車查看,說明這種聲音不算normally;又由于后面說…became even louder,說明它不gently;actually 在此不合語境。故選D,指車一開動,又馬上出現(xiàn)了那種聲音。故選D。
小題8:考查形容詞。black黑色的; beautiful漂亮的; white 白的; colorful彩色的。根據(jù)下文可知,跟在車后的是一群蜜蜂,作者把它形容成一團烏云,故用black。故選 A。
小題9:考查介詞。below在……下面; ahead向前; nearby在附近; behind在后面。
根據(jù)上下文語境可知,這群蜜蜂不是在車底,是在附近,也不是前面,也不是在車后面。故選C。
小題10:考查形容詞。boring煩人的; careful仔細(xì)的; exciting令人高興的;  hard難的。司機盡量把車開快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂,這樣的的駕駛肯定很hard。故選D。
小題11:考查名詞。hotel旅館; museum歷史博物館; hospital醫(yī)院; school學(xué)校。根據(jù)下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。故選A。
小題12:考查動詞。break打破; move移動; hurry匆忙; drop下降。因為這位看見他停車的顧客發(fā)現(xiàn)他的車上滿是蜜蜂,所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)進來告訴他。故選C。
小題13:考查形容詞。be crowded with 擠滿了……;be covered with 被……所覆蓋;be filled with裝滿……;be equipped with 由……所裝備。根據(jù)語境,只有B較合適。故選B。
小題14:考查動詞。advis建議; require要求; order命令; request請求。advise sb that… 意為“建議某人……”,此處用的是該結(jié)構(gòu)的被動式,其意為“有人建議他……”。故選A。
小題15:考查名詞。bee-keeper養(yǎng)蜂人; policeman警察; waiter服務(wù)員;repairman修理工。要對付這批蜜蜂,顯然只有bee-keeper(養(yǎng)蜂人)最合適。故選A。
點評:完形填空所用的短文一般不給標(biāo)題,但短文的主題句,往往在每段文章的首句,有時也出現(xiàn)在文章的中間或結(jié)束處。主題句提供全篇的性質(zhì)、大意等,這是深入了解全文的“窗口”,甚至能以語句為立足點,從該句的時態(tài)、語氣推測全文的主要內(nèi)容。

I live in a very over populated beach area in the Los Angeles, and I love the beautiful scenery!

Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty 200 years ago. At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincoln’s case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his country's history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.
If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”
He could have quit many times-—-but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit,he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his lifeas a role model for future generations. Lincoln’s high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true?
A. Lincoln was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
B. Like Lincoln, a poor origin leads to a bright future.
C. America is considered self-made because of Lincoln.
D. Self-determination and will contributed to Lincoln’s success.
小題2:What is Paragraph Two mainly about?
A. How Lincoln made his way to the White House.
B. Lincoln suffered various failures.
C. Lincoln was a man who never quit.
D. Lincoln once lost two business ventures.
小題3:Which is the correct order of what happened to Lincoln?
a. He was paying off his debt.  b. He failed in the run for land officer,
c. He got less than 100 votes nationally. d. he stuck to his mission, e. He went bankrupt.
A.b-c-c-d-aB.e-a-b-c-dC.e-c-a-b-dD.d-c-a-b-c
小題4:What’s the function of Lincoln’s famous saying in Paragraph Two?
A. To tell us that determination is the most important to success.
B. To attract readers1 attention.
C. To show why Lincoln was able to carry on in hard times.
D. To summarize Lincoln’s story.
小題5:Why does the writer consider Lincoln as one of the greatest presidents in America?
A. Because he still influences America as a role model.
B. Because he set a good example to the present politicians.
C. Because of his great personalities.
D. Because he went through diverse difficulties.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race.

But then I 44 something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 45 abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 46 was only to finish.
