of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears 4 resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.

5 Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved

6 its tragic past to become

a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks 7 to its position in the mid dle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also 8 thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, 9 travel time between the cities from several hours

to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is 10 to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.

Signs of Nanjing’s 11 wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart

of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, 12 the father of modern China, looks 13 over a busy 14 area.

There is perhaps no more 15 symbol of the city’s transfo rmation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. 16 offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building

in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.

Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and 17 student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music 18 in all sorts of places. On a larger 19 , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract 20 from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

1. A. advance B. affection C. air D. ability

2. A. unforgettable B. unthinkable C. unbearable D. unnecessary

3. A. Actually B. Regretfully C. Hopefully D. Consequently

4. A. close B. slight C. much D. little

5. A. Because B. But C. As D. Since

6. A. beyond B. on C. off D. out

7. A. in addition B. in all C. in part D. in fact

8. A. started B. enlarged C. existed D. accelerated

9. A. removing B. cutting C. dividing D. lowering

10. A. scheduled B. invented C. desired D. meant

11. A. attractive B. well-received C. newfound D. discovered

12. A. thought B. treated C. considered D. elected

13. A. out B. at C. about D. for

14. A. remote B. regional C. rural D. commercial

15. A. universal B. visible C. traditional D. political

16. A. Keeping B. Consisting C. Opening D. Housing

高考英语完型填空专题练习及答案

完形填空练习【考点分析】主要考查语法知识、单词拼写能力和逻辑推理能力等，对基础相对薄弱的学生，尤其是英语语法基础相对薄弱的学生有一定的难度。【复习策略】掌握句子的基本结构首先，我们必须熟练掌握简单句的基本句型结构：（1）主语+谓语（+宾语+宾补）（2）主语+系动词+表语其次，我们要充分了解充当各个句子成分的典型词类：（1）充当主语或宾语的典型词类是名词或代词。此外，还有动名词、不定式短语等。（2）充当谓语的一定是动词。（3）充当补语或表语的典型词类是形容词。（4）在名词前作定语的典型词类是形容词或形容词性物主代词。（5）作状语的典型词类是副词。再次，我们还要掌握句子的扩展结构：两个或几个简单句之间若不用句号或分号，就必须要用连词，否则，句子的结构就不完整。连词主要有以下四类：（1）用and,but,or,while(而，却)，when（就在这个时候）等构成并列句。用if,unless,before,after,until,although,though,as,since,because,so,so that 等构成含状语从句的复合句（这里要注意区分一下复杂句和复合句，复合句是包含在复杂句这个概念里面的,在下文的基础写作部分有提到）。（3）用who,which,that,when,where,why等构成含定语从句的复合句。（这里要提醒考生的是往往不给任何提示的空就是填连词或关系词的，但也须结合句子

结构来分析。）（4）用that,if/whether(是否)，wh-等构成含名词性从句的复合句。【解题方法】用句子结构分析法巧解语法填空.分析句子的结构对解答语法填空题很有帮助。在解答语法填空题时，分析句子结构可以迅速确定所要填的词语的词类或大致方向，若再结合语境就可以很快得出具体的词语或词形，结合语境方面要特别注意短文的时态和上下文中的一些提示。【经典例题】阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。 The Internet has become part of young people’s life. ____1____ report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet .

高考英语完形填空专项训练

高考英语完形填空专项训练一、考点分析根据德国学者J·Trier的理论，“词可以在一个共同概念的支配下结合在一起形成一个语义场”。语义场中词与词之间的语义关系是相互依存的。意义上相关的词汇出现在同一语篇中，构成以某一话题为中心的词汇链。简言之，任何一篇文章必然是围绕一个话题来论述的，因此，行文中词语的同现或复现现象就不可避免。词汇的复现现象具体指的是某一个词以原词、词形变化后的词、同义词、近义词、反义词、上义词、下义词等形式重复出现在语篇中。根据这个原则，某个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现的相关词，同学们可以依据这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。现在就以高考真题为例来为同学们呈现如何利用词汇复现规律这一技巧帮助我们在完形填空中做出正确选择。 If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals. In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture. Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.
