2010届高考二轮英语复习专项训练：完形填空（四）

2010届高考二轮英语复习专项训练：完形填空（四） Passage 4 For those who are conditioned to think that learning only happens in a classroom, the world of self-learning can be a little daunting. How do we best take   1   of these new opportunities? Your interest in the subject is the essential driver of success. You can’t learn what you do not want to learn. Emotion is an important part of the learning   2   . If you are even moderately interested in a subject, give yourself  a chance. The key is to get started. If you can create some pleasurable   3  , you may find that the subject grows on you. Don’t expect to understand things, much less remember them, the first time you study them. Trust that things will get clearer   4   your brain comes to grips with new information. It is like a cross-word puzzle. As you start to put the pieces together, or string the words together, the full picture becomes clearer. The brain learns all the time, but    5    its own schedule. Learning does not take place according to a schedule laid down by a curriculum or teacher. Some things are easier to learn than others. Some things just take    6   to click in. Keep at it, and you will gradually find that things that seem difficult at first , will become easy with time. Your brain is struggling to form patterns to    7    new input from your learning activities. Sometimes, no matter how long you focus on one subject, your brain is not going to pick it up. If you are stuck, move   8   . Then cover the same general information from a different source, a different book, or a podcast, or an online lecture or a video. Try to become a  grazing learner, roaming the countryside,     9   a feedlot learner, just standing there in one spot. The broader your base, the easier it is to learn. Just as the “rich get richer”, the more you know,     10   you can learn. Take full advantage of the Internet, iTunes, and     11   mobile devices, not to mention good old-fashioned books and magazines. Learn during “dead time”. Listen in your car, on the train, or   12   jogging. Have your learning with you while waiting in the doctor’s office, or listen while checking out at the supermarket. Anytime is     13  time. Remember, you are learning through exposure, not by nailing things down. It is more like moisture accumulation in a    14   , rather than building a brick wall. The more varied your learning content, and the more varied the ways in which you learn, the       15 the puzzle will become. Different learning activities suit different people, at different times of the day. Vary your activities in order to keep your interest level   16    . Even if listening and reading work best for you, treat yourself to the odd video lecture, or get-together with other learners. This will renew your batteries. The “loneliness of the distance learner” is a thing of the   17  . Join a learning community on the web, where members share their knowledge and experience. Search for the communities that suit your interests and learning style. You will find encouragement, advice and stimulus from fellow learners,        18    from tutors, teachers and coaches. In these communities, you can measure your progress against your own goals, or compare your experience     19    that of other learners. You can even teach and help others, which is a great way to learn. Never has it been easier nor more exciting to be a learner. Let constant learning be a major part of your life-style. The   20        will be constant, personally, socially, and professionally. (   ) 1. A. advantage    B. place                C. possession               D. example (   ) 2.

A 我们该如何利用这些新的机会，其中的利用，也就是take advantage of :利用，take place:发生，take possession of:占领，take an example of:拿当例子，明显不合适。 2. B 情绪是学习过程中的一项重要部分，其中的过程就是process，而不是进展：progress，压力：pressure和提议：proposal。 3. C 如果你能创造一些能带来乐趣的具体做法，你就会发现就会有进展，其中的具体做法就是routines，而不是大路：roads街道：streets和建筑物：building。 4. D 随着你的大脑渐渐的掌握了这些信息，事情自然变得清晰，其中的随着，就是连词as，而不是介词with：随着，又不是如果：if和否则：unless。 5. A 大脑一直都在学习，但是是按自己的节奏：on one’s schedule，最具有迷惑性的是with，但是它表示随着……，to:对于……， for：为了……,都不能和schedule搭配表示按……..之意。 6. C 前一句的意思是：一些东西比别的容易学，这一句就应该是：一些东西难学，也就是要花更长的时间去学，更长：longer，更多：shorter，时间更快：sooner和更低：lower，显得不合适。 7. D 你的大脑一直尽力形成某种方式来应对来自你学来的新输入的东西，其中的应对就是cope with，而不是和…….一起来：com with，和…….一起走：go with，把……带走：take with 8. B 如果你有困难，请继续向前。继续就是on，而不是向下：down，远去：away和离去：off。 9. C 尽力成为多角度的学习者，而不是单一的学习者。而不是就是：rather than，少于：less than，多于：more than除了：other than，都不合适。 10. D 知道的越多，学得就越多。这儿是the more……，the more…….句型，用more表示多，而不是越少：less，越快：quicker，和越低：lower。 11. D 各种各样的移动设施。各种各样也就是：various，而不是相同：same，相似：similar，熟悉：familiar。 12. A 边散步边听，while：一边……一边…..，而不是在……之前：before，在…..之后：after，和如果：if。 13. B 如何时间都是学习时间：learning，而不是玩的时间：playing，谈话的时间：talking和说话的时间speaking：。 14. A 这就像云中的水汽积累，而不像砌砖墙。云就是：cloud，而不是天空：sky，地球：earth和大海：sea。 15. B 你学习的方式越多，难题就越清晰，也就是clearer，而不是越干净：cleaner，越难：harder，和越低：lower。 16. B 为了保持你高昂的兴趣，要是你的学习行为多样化，keep up：使……高涨，keep dwon:使……..降低，keep in保持……..在里面，keep out把……..挡在外面。 17. C 远程学习的孤独那是过去的事，是过去：past，而不是现在：present，白天：day和夜晚：night。 18. C 也可以从辅导员、教师和教练那儿找到鼓励、建议和动力。也：as well as，而只要：as long as，就而论：as far as，尽快：as soon as，都不合适。 19. B 或者和别的学习者对比彼此的经验，和……就是with，而不是没有：without，对于：to，超出：beyond。 20. D 这样一来带来的回报，无论是个性，社交还是职业上，将是长期的。回报就是rewards，而不是奖品：awards，单词：words和言语：remarks。
