2016年专四专八改革，完型填空由原始20个选择题，变为15选10 的选词填空(与四六级形式一致)。考试吧将根据改革后的新题型为专四考生设置2016专四新题型：完形填空模拟练习，供考生们参考。

(一)

Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any(36)you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain(37). In a chain store ask to see the manager.

Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in (38),write a letter. Be sure to39to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not(40)with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.

If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to(41) or repair the faulty article. You may find this an(42) solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back,but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some(43)loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for(44) from your Citizens' Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back--if, for example, he changes an article simply because you don't like it or it does not fit. He does not hive to take back the goods in these(45).

投诉应该找负责人。带上你可能有的任何[36]收据，返回你购买商品的商店。在大商店里，要求见进货员。在小商店里，店员也可能是店主，所以你可以[37]直接投诉。在连锁商店里，要求见经理。

即便是最勇敢的人也会觉得当面投诉很困难，所以，如果不想E3S]当面投诉，你可以写信。确保所写[39]属实，并把你所写的内容复印一份自己保留。在这个阶段，你应该提供所有的收据单号，但是你无需提供收据或其他文件来证明你买了这件商品。如果你对所得到的回复不[40]满意，或者如果你没得到回复，要写信给这家公司、商店或组织的总经理。务必将你自己写的信以及你收到的任何来信备份。如果你的投诉是合理的，店主可能会提出[41]退换或修理有问题的物品。你可能会觉得这是个[42]很吸引人的解决方法。在某些情况下，你或许有权拒绝接受这件商品并要求退款，但这只有在你几乎没用过这件商品并即时采取行动的情况下才可以。即使你无法拒绝这件商品，你或许也能拿回些退款。

而且，如果你遭受了一些[43]特殊的损失，例如，如果一台新洗衣机把你的衣服弄破了，你也许会获得损失的赔偿。如果店主给你提供信用证，让你在同样的商店里购买商品时使用，而你更希望他给你钱，那么你就该说出来。如果你接受了信用证，请记住，你之后就不能索要退款了。如果店主拒绝给你钱，你可以在接受信用证前向公民咨询局征求[44]意见。在一些情况下，店主不需要给你退款——比如，因为你不喜欢某件商品或这件商品不适合你，而他也给你换了货的话，在这些[45]情况下，他不需要收回商品并退款。

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Many of the aids which are advertised as liberating the modem woman tend to have the opposite effect,because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value,like toys for adults. It is (36 )less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really37too much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted first, stains38by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed.

It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a(39)and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of domesticated woman fostered by the women's magazines with the goods advertised by those periodicals, advertising which finances them, one realizes how useful a projected image can be in commerce.

A careful (40) has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving gadget, follow it up with a(41)recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness,(42) the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce "that lovely

home-baked(43)the family love",and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became a tremendous vogue when they were first(44) (difficult to know who would wear all those rapidly produced sweaters, which lacked the advantages of hand-made woolens). Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by(45)women presetting the dinner before catching a bus to the office.

广告上所说的许多可以解放现代妇女的辅助设备往往会产生相反的效果，因为它们只是改变了劳动的性质而并没有消除劳动。机器有某种新颖的价值，就像成年人的玩具一样。把衣服放进洗衣机[36]确实可以轻松些，但所节省出的时间[37]总量却实在没有太多：机器需要有人看着，先得把衣服认真分好类。用手把污渍[38]洗掉，还得按按钮、换水，然后取出衣物、晾干、熨平。

把所有衣服打包送到[39]洗衣房反而更加省事，而且也未必更贵，因为不需要任何资本投资。同样.如果你真的想节约时间，你就不会用电动搅拌机来做蛋糕，而是去商店里买。如果你将女性杂志所培育出来的居家女性形象与那些给它们提供经费的期刊、广告里所宣传的商品相比较的话，你就会意识到树立形象在商业上是多么有用。你需要小心地建立一种[40]

平衡：如果你展示了一个省力的小器具，那么，紧接着下一页就要展示一个[41]复杂的要诀;绝不能做出这种暗示，即女人可以找到一份工作，而是要培养她自身的价值意识，[42]强调她作为家庭主妇时富有创意的一面。因此，我们准备好现成的蛋糕粉，烹饪者只要自己加个鸡蛋进去就能做出“那种家人喜爱的、诱人的家庭烘焙的[43]风味”。还有可以手工编织的图案，或者更糟糕的是，可以用编织机织出的编织图案，而在编织机刚被[44]引进时，这些东西十分流行(很难知道谁会穿上那些迅速生产出来的毛衣，它们缺乏手工编织的毛织物的优势)。自动化炊具的广告图片上是美丽的年轻母亲带着孩子到公园玩，而不是[45]职业女性在赶公交车土班前预先准备好晚饭的场景。

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Culture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, beliefs, and ways of life of a given group of human beings. In this (36), every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.

~

To the professional anthropologist (人类学家), there is no intrinsic(37)of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy(等级制度) among languages.

People once thought of the languages of backward groups as (38) and undeveloped forms of speech,consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the(39)of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or(40 )structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which41the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however,two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to(42)the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in"backward" languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly(43)and complicated.

This study of language, in turn, (44)a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed(45), and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.

B. superiority

C. conceive

D. transfer

文化是人类某一特定群体所有传统、风俗、信仰及生活方式的总和。从这种[36]意义上说，每个群体都有一种文化，不管在我们看来，它是多么野蛮、不发达或未开化。

对于专业的人类学家而言，没有哪种文化在本质上比另一种[37]优越，这就像对于专业的语言学家而言。语言之间并没有内在的等级一样。

/

人们曾经认为落后群体的语言就是[38]野蛮的、不发达的言语形式，主要包括咕哝和呻吟。尽管一般来说，语言有可能是以一系列的咕哝和呻吟的形式开始的，但是，通过对“落后”语言的研究证实，今天没有哪种语言符合这种描述。按照我们的最严格标准来讲，作为[39]传递思想的工具，多数未开化人群的语言极其复杂、缜密，并具有独创性。这些语言在语音模式或[40]语法结构上通常能完全满足语言的所有需求，并不落后于我们西方的语言，比我们落后的只是[41]反映这些说话者所知物体及活动的词汇。然而，即使是在这方面，也有两点值得一提：1.所有语言都[42]拥有拓展词汇的机制，要么是通过将现存词汇组合在一起来拓展，要么是通过从其他语言中借入一些词并将其改造以适应自身体系来实现。2.在这些[43]“落后的”语言中，尽管那些需要名字及区分的物体及活动与我们不同，它们却都经常是多得出奇、复杂得出奇。

对于语言的研究反过来让人们对人类学家的断言——所有的文化都该被[45]独立看待，而不该带着等级观念去看待——[44]有了新的认识。

初中英语中考完型填空题型分类及解题思路

2010年中考英语完型填空题型分类及解题思路完形填空是一种测试考生综合运用英语语言知识能力的一种题型，它集阅读理解能力与语言应用能力考查于一体，考查考生在阅读理解基础上，在一定语言情景下灵活运用词汇的能力。它首先要求考生具备较强的阅读能力，具备能根据短文所给线索，捕捉相关信息，进行分析判断、逻辑推理的能力，它还要求考生能熟练运用所学词汇、语法、习惯用语及交际用语等语言知识进行填词，考查了使用语言的准确性。由于完形填空属于有障碍性的阅读，考生对阅读这些含有空缺单词的短文没有把握、困难较大，所以往往望题生畏。因而完形填空历来是中考中考生失分率较高的题型。 义务教育新教材使用之后，完形填空试题的难度逐渐增大。以往完形填空试题的考点主要集中在词汇、语法、句法上，对语篇背景考虑不多，近年来考查的重点已由在语篇中考查语法逐渐转向对语篇的整体理解。比如多数试题所设选项如单从语法角度来判定都是正确的，但一旦联系语篇内容，则只有一个正确答案。由于难度的提高，使完形填空成为考生最棘手题型之一，感到既容易丢分又难于进行复习。 要完成好完形填空试题，考生除必须掌握一定的语法、词汇知识外，还有赖于提高阅读理解能力。因为只有看懂了短文才能确定正确答案。另外考生还要有计划地多做一些完形填空的练习，逐渐增加训练的频度，提高训练的难度，通过训练提高阅读理解能力，做到能根据短文所给线索和信息进行分析、推理、归纳、判断，进一步提高词语辨析和灵活运用的能力。只有通过平时多读多练，不断拓宽知识面，进一步了解英美风土人情等有关文化背景知识，熟练掌握英语习惯用语的表达等，才能为正确完成完形填空试题提供前提保障。 例1、完形填空： Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family name comes 1 . For example, my 2 name is Jim Allan White. White is my 3 name. My 4 gave me both of my other names. People don't use their 5 names very often. So "John Henry Brown" is usually 6 "John Brown". People never use Mr, Mrs or Miss before their 7 names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr Brown, 8 you should never say Mr John. They use Mr、Mrs or Miss 9 the family name. This is 10 from Chinese names. The first name is the family name, and the last name is the given name.

2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析

2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析 【完形填空原文】 Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat. But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally? In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent! But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it. Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement. 【语法题真题及解析】 51.

2020高中英语二轮复习专题三：完形填空第一讲 词汇篇

完形填空和语法填空二者共属高考浙江卷中的语言运用部分，二者虽题型不同，但宗旨都是考查考生在理解整体语篇的基础上具体运用语法知识和词语的能力。 年份 体裁题材 考点分布 动词 (短语) 名 词 (短 语) 形 容 词 (短 语) 副 词 介 词 (短 语) 连 词 代 词 2019.6 记叙文唤起对食物浪费的关 注 8 5 4 3 0 0 0 2018.11 记叙文解救学生的手指11 6 2 0 1 0 0 2018.6 夹叙夹议文充分利用时间9 5 4 2 0 0 0 2017.11 记叙文Harvold救人的英勇故 事 12 6 2 0 0 0 0 2017.6 记叙文保护书籍的故事9 4 5 2 0 0 0 [考纲解读] 1．完形填空旨在考查考生的综合理解能力和语言运用能力： (1)要求考生能够领悟一篇有空缺的语篇大意，结合全文，推出“未知”内容，具有主观性测试和客观性测试的双重特点。 (2)既可以在语篇中考查考生的英语基础知识，即语法、词汇知识；又可以考查考生运用所学语言知识的能力；还可以考查考生的英语文化背景知识；同时，考查考生把握上下文行

文逻辑和整个篇章结构的能力。 2．完形填空的每个选项的取舍要受层次语境的影响。完形填空的考点层次从低到高可分为：词汇层次、句子层次、语篇层次。 [命题趋势] 完形填空是测试考生综合语言运用能力的填空补缺式障碍性阅读。它以语篇信息为基础，以中心脉络信息为主线，多层面反复式信息为暗示，纵横向立体式信息相照应，给考生提供足够的解题信息。预计今后的高考中会有以下命题趋势： 1．综合考查考生的英语基础知识和语言运用能力，包括词汇运用能力、阅读理解能力、分析判断能力、逻辑推理能力和跨文化交际能力。 2．文章材料多以叙述为主，叙议结合。故事性记叙文仍会占主导地位，但夹叙夹议文会增多。 3．语篇层次设空增多，从而体现“突出语篇”的命题思路，测试考生对上下文衔接关系、行文逻辑等的综合理解，进而考查考生的思维能力。 第一讲词汇篇 高考完形填空主要是对考纲词汇的考查，重点考查考生在具体语境中准确理解和运用考纲词汇的能力。近几年高考完形填空对词汇在整体语篇中的灵活运用的考查尤为突出，主要涉及名词、动词(短语)、形容词和副词等实词的词义理解、一词多义的积累、熟词生义的推断以及近义词用法的辨析。没有掌握好考纲中基础词汇的词义是造成失分的主要原因之一，而不能弄清意义相近词汇的细微区别则成为拿高分的障碍。 考生要想得高分，准确掌握考纲词汇是基础，强化对多义词的掌握和对重难点词的积累是关键。 超重点1词义理解——考纲生僻词汇强化记忆 [强化1]动词
