“7 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,”said Jean Lacey, a biology student, why don't they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn't much more than a 8 village.Its streets were never 9 for heavy traffic.

From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us.When humans first 1 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 2 tool.Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind?s future 3 and cultural growth increased.
Many linguists believe that evolution is 4 for our ability to produce and use language.They 5 that our highly evolved brain provides us 6 an innate language ability not found in lower 7 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 9 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.Therefore there are critical 10 times for language development.
Current 11 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 12 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 13 grades.Young children often can learn several languages by being 14 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 15 of their first language have become firmly fixed.
16 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum.Children who have been 17 from other human beings do not possess language.This demonstrates that 18 with other human beings isnecessary for proper language development.Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 19 than any innate capacities.These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 20 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them.Parents gradually shape their child's lang
uage skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.

2.【答案】A
【解析】根據(jù)語法分析,答案應(yīng)用來修飾語言的。valuable珍貴的;appropriate合適的,適當(dāng)?shù);convenient方便的,便利的;favorite最喜歡的。語言并不是人類選擇的結(jié)果,而是人類在進(jìn)化過程中慢慢發(fā)展起來的,對人類來說,應(yīng)當(dāng)是珍貴的。
3.【答案】A
【解析】此處意思是:語言的發(fā)展增加了人類未來的成就和文化進(jìn)步的可能性。attainments成就;feasibility可行性;entertainments娛樂;evolution進(jìn)化。
4.【答案】D
【解析】此處意為:許多語言學(xué)家認(rèn)為進(jìn)化使人們產(chǎn)生和具備了語言的能力。固定短語be responsible for對……負(fù)責(zé),是……的原由。其它選項(xiàng)不與for搭配。
5.【答案】C
【解析】根據(jù)語法分析,空格后應(yīng)是一個(gè)賓語從句,而A,B,D三項(xiàng)后都不能接從句做直接賓語。confirm(確認(rèn))+名詞;inform(通知)sb.of sth.;convince(使某人確信) sb.of sth.

9.【答案】A
【解析】此句句義是:語言本身作為童年時(shí)期大腦生長的一種功能,其發(fā)展是緩慢的。as (作為,當(dāng)作)合乎題意。Like作為介詞的意思是“像……一樣”。
10.【答案】B

19.【答案】A
【解析】根據(jù)分析,本句中的“this”和“even more basic”分別指代上句的“interaction with other human beings”和“necessary”,此處所填詞對應(yīng)上文中的language development。也就是說,language acquisition語言習(xí)得。appreciation欣賞,感激;requirement要求;alternative轉(zhuǎn)移,轉(zhuǎn)變,轉(zhuǎn)換。
20.【答案】C
【解析】本句功能是以另一種方式解釋前文中的“imitative, learned behavior.(模仿性的后天行為)”。In other words換言之,換句話說;As a result結(jié)果是;After all畢竟;Above all首先。
CET4:完形填空模擬題(四)
For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to“stretch”him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 15 is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 16 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 17 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 18 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 19 the training,now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.He is delighted that how he can 20 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
1.A.applying B.doing C.offering D.getting
2.A.quickly B.easily C.roughly D.decidedly
3.A.good B.curious C.poor D.urgent
4.A.training B.habits C.situations D.custom
5.A.lies B.combines C.touches D.involves
6.A.some B.A lot C.little D.dull
7.A.Fortunately B.In fact
C.Logically D.Unfortunately
8.A.reuse B.reread C.rewrite D.recite

19.A.for B.in C.after D.before
20.A.master B.go over C.present
D.get through
Cloze Test 4答案
1.【答案】D
【解析】本句意思是“誰如果想謀得一份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申請”;B.doing做;C.offering提供此三項(xiàng)均不符題意, 只有D.getting(獲得)適合。
2.【答案】A
【解析】本句意為“快速閱讀與理解的能力,是關(guān)系到成敗的關(guān)鍵所在”只有quickly與原意吻合。easily(容易地);roughly (粗略地); decidedly(果斷地)均與原文內(nèi)容不符。
3.【答案】C
【解析】英語中,閱讀速度快的人稱為good reader,反之,就是poor reader。
根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容,多數(shù)人都屬于poor reader,因此選poor(差的)。其它選項(xiàng)不妥。
4.【答案】B
【解析】此處的意思是“大多數(shù)人早期養(yǎng)成看書慢的習(xí)
慣”因此選habits(習(xí)慣)。training (訓(xùn)練,培訓(xùn));situations(形勢);custom(風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣)。
5.【答案】A
【解析】此處說的是“主要的困難在于語言的自身要素,即單詞”。combines聯(lián)合;touches接觸;involves包括,這三項(xiàng)的詞義與原文不符。而lies與in構(gòu)成搭配,意為“在于”。
6.【答案】C
【解析】這里的意思是“如果單個(gè)地看這些字,它們并沒有什么意義”。some有點(diǎn);A lot許多;dull單調(diào)的。此三項(xiàng)不合題意。只有l(wèi)ittle(很少)是否定詞,合乎邏輯。
7.【答案】D
【解析】此句意為“作者對未受過閱讀訓(xùn)練的人的不良習(xí)慣感到遺憾”。
Fortunately幸運(yùn)地;In fact事實(shí)上;Logically合乎邏輯地,均不妥。
Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句義。
8.【答案】B
【解析】此句意為“在閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常重讀(反復(fù)讀)”因此,選reread重讀。reuse再使用;Rewrite改寫;recite背誦。
9.【答案】A
【解析】此處所填的詞既是look back over的賓語,又是you have just read的賓語,只有what能充當(dāng)這種雙重成分。
10.【答案】C 【解析】scales down按比例減少;cuts down削減;此兩項(xiàng)不合題意。
measures不能與down搭配。只有slow與down搭配的意思“放慢”,在此合適。
11.【答案】B
【解析】本段前文已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)you,在此選one(泛指人們,我們,你)來代替you。some one無此用法。如果用reader,前面應(yīng)加定冠詞。he不能與該段邏輯一致。
12.【答案】A
【解析】此句意為“訓(xùn)練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關(guān)”,因此選accelerator (快讀器)。actor演員;amplifier放大器;observer觀察者。
13.【答案】D
【解析】前面的faster決定了應(yīng)當(dāng)選than,構(gòu)成比較級。
14.【答案】C
【解析】此句意為“快速閱讀器迫使你加快閱讀速度,使你再也不能逐字閱讀,回顧前文內(nèi)容或者默讀”。enabling相當(dāng)于making possible;leading引導(dǎo);indicating指出,表明。都不合題意。只有making (使,使得)最合適。
15.【答案】B
【解析】這里的意思是“速讀最初會(huì)影響理解”,所以選comprehension(理解力)。meaning意義,意思,指詞或詞組表示的意義;gist大意,要旨regression回顧
16.【答案】A
【解析】與前半句中的not only相呼應(yīng),構(gòu)成句式“不僅……,而且……”,只有選but,而nor;or或for均不能構(gòu)成固定用法。
17.【答案】C
【解析】本句中的主語是第三人稱復(fù)數(shù),物主代詞必然是their。
18.【答案】B
【解析】take與后面的for instance構(gòu)成短語,意為:“以……例”,其它三項(xiàng)不能構(gòu)成搭配。
19.【答案】D
【解析】這里提到受訓(xùn)之前與受訓(xùn)之后進(jìn)行比較,對比,因此選before。
20.【答案】D
【解析】此處意為:在較短時(shí)間內(nèi),讀完眾多的材料。master掌握;go over復(fù)習(xí);present呈現(xiàn),展現(xiàn);此三項(xiàng)均不妥;只有g(shù)et through (讀完)最恰當(dāng)。

16.【答案】D
【解析】選項(xiàng)A, B, C分別是deal(處理,論述,涉及)的原形,過去分詞及被動(dòng)語態(tài)。根據(jù)語法和語義,此處應(yīng)填將來進(jìn)行時(shí),意思是“隨著書中內(nèi)容的進(jìn)一步深入,我們將詳細(xì)論述發(fā)展和加強(qiáng)學(xué)習(xí)技能的具體過程!
17.【答案】C
【解析】根據(jù)上下文,這里應(yīng)當(dāng)指“學(xué)習(xí)技能”。
18.【答案】B
【解析】固定短語to begin with,意為“首先,第一”,常用做插入語。
19.【答案】A
【解析】謂語動(dòng)詞pause后,examine又是動(dòng)詞原形,所以這里應(yīng)當(dāng)選to,可構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞不定式,做目的狀語。其余選項(xiàng)都是介詞,不合題意。
20.【答案】C
【解析】本句對全文進(jìn)行總結(jié)概括,與文章的開頭相呼應(yīng),Of the utmost importance is your attitude故選attitude。

Children model themselves largely on their parents.They do so mainly through identification.Children identify 1 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 2 of that parent.The things parents do and say—and the 3 they do and say to them—therefore strongly influence a child's 4 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 5 they want their child to become.
A parent's actions 6 affect the self?image that a child forms 7 identification.Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 8 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.Children who observe chiefly 9 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 10 positive qualities in themselves.Children may 11 their self?image, however, as they become increasingly 12 by peersgroupsstandards before they reach 13 .
Isolated events, 13 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 14 on a child's behavior.Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training.Children who know they are loved can, 15 , accept the divorce of their parent's or a parent?s early 16 .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 17 a sign of rejection or punishment.
In the same way, all children are not influenced 18 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. 19 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 20 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

Cloze Test 23
1.【答案】B
【解析】identify與with連用,意為“把……和……聯(lián)系起來”。
2.【答案】B
【解析】文中的意思是“……代表他父母特點(diǎn)的品質(zhì)和情感”。Inform“通知”;conceive“想象”;indicative“指示的”;characteristic“特點(diǎn)、特性”。
3.【答案】C
【解析】這里way是指父母的行為方式。gesture手勢,expression表情,extent范圍,這三項(xiàng)與上行文不符。
4.【答案】A
【解析】這里是說父母的行為方式對孩子的行為影響強(qiáng)烈。behavior行為,words語言,mood心情,reactions反應(yīng),均不符合題意。
5.【答案】A
【解析】這里是說父母必須始終如一地表現(xiàn)出想讓他們的孩子成為的那種類型的人。human指人類,creatures指生物,adult指成年人。
6.【答案】C
【解析】前面是說父母的言行會(huì)強(qiáng)烈地影響孩子的行為,這里是說父母的言行還影響孩子的自我形象,所以用連詞also。in turn依次;nevertheless然而;as a result結(jié)果。
7.【答案】D
【解析】這里是說孩子通過鑒別身份形成自我形象,因此選擇through。
8.【答案】B
【解析】根據(jù)下文:children who observe chiefly negative qualities in their parents…,可以看出答案。
9.【答案】A
【解析】由上句positive可以推測出此處要選其反義詞negative。
10.【答案】B
【解析】have difficulty(in)doing sth.“做……有困難”,固定用法。
11.【答案】A
【解析】由however可以看出,這句話的意思是對前面“子女的自我形象要受到父母的言行影響”的轉(zhuǎn)折。modify“修改、修飾”;give up“放棄”。copy和continue不符合文義。
12.【答案】B
【解析】influenced“受影響的”;mature“成熟的”;unique“惟一的”;independent“獨(dú)立的”。句后用by…作介詞短語,故此處需要一個(gè)過去分詞。
13.【答案】C
【解析】這里是說“孤立的事件,甚至是富有戲劇性的事,都不一定會(huì)對孩子的行為產(chǎn)生永久的影響”。
14.【答案】D
【解析】have an effect on“對……產(chǎn)生影響”,固定搭配。
15.【答案】B
【解析】逗號后面的一句是對前句的解釋,是舉例說明,故選for
example。
16.【答案】A
【解析】這里or與連接的兩個(gè)詞都應(yīng)是意義相似的令人不愉快的事,選項(xiàng)中與divorce相對應(yīng)的詞只有death。
17.【答案】A
【解析】interpret與as搭配,意為“把……理解為”。
18.【答案】C
【解析】這句是說“并不是所有的孩子同樣地都受到玩具、游戲、讀物、電視節(jié)目的影響。alike“同樣地”,意思最接近。
19.【答案】D
【解析】as“正如……”;A、B項(xiàng)選擇是感嘆詞,后面多用逗號。Right在意思上不合適。
20.【答案】B
【解析】本句意為:家庭關(guān)系的突然變化或某種經(jīng)歷對孩子的影響取決于他們對這些事如何理解。result“結(jié)果”;effect“影響”;scale“刻度”;cause“原因”
