II. 完形填空 (共 20 小题; 每小题 20 分; 满分 20 分)
A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he
couldn’t move. What was the 21 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile
phone went out of 22 as a result of exhausted battery (电池). Nothing could be done but 23 in
cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 24 of the rescue (救援).
It is almost 25 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more
surprising was his 26 : “First of all I checked up my 27 conditions and found myself not in
fatal (致命的) danger. As there was no 28 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best
to keep the wound from 29 . In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the 30 of an exploration adventure that happened
last year. A group of young men 31 to explore a mountain cave and got lost.
32 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of
33 . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 34 people that found them,
the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 35 of the cave. If they
stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 36 themselves, they would probably
sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with 37 itself? When you meet with obstacles in
life and work, you are lost in darkness. Mind you (请你注意) it’s 38 yet and you needn’t put up
struggle 39 . It seems to be a negative attitude; 40 a person who can afford to do so must
have foresight (预见) as well as great courage in the first place.

A
That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking
home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away,
I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my
acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San
Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running,
both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except
a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to
see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the
noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and
unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the
noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be
found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next
to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could 天津一中高一单元测验 英语试卷 第 4 页 (共 9 页)
this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused
look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 A. M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had
gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city
couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

B
During the high school career, students may begin to question the importance of a college
education. They might find themselves asking, “Why is it important to go to college?” The answer is
that, more than ever, college graduates enjoy much greater opportunities available to them than those
who have not received a college education.
For many high school students, being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is
an appealing thought. They may also be affected by the rising cost of tuition, and while it is true that a
higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face, the importance of a college
education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today’s economy.
Why should you go to college? One important answer to this question is more opportunity. As
opposed to generations of the past, high school graduates today are unable to obtain high-paying jobs
that were once available. The U.S. has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an
economy based on knowledge, and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that
of a high school education forty years ago. It serves as the gateway to better options and more
opportunity.
There are additional reasons as to why it is important to go to college. When students experience a 天津一中高一单元测验 英语试卷 第 5 页 (共 9 页)
post secondary education, they have the opportunity to read books and listen to the lectures of top
experts in their fields. This encourages students to think, ask questions, and explore new ideas, which
allows for additional growth and development and provides college graduates with more opportunities
in the job market over those who have not experienced a higher education.
The importance of a college education is also stressed because of the opportunity to gain valuable
resources during the study. The more connections which are collected during your college career, the
more options you will have when you begin your job search. Once you have ended your job search and
have started your career, however, the importance of a college education has not been exhausted.
Having a college degree often provides for greater promotion opportunity.
So, why should you go to college? The reasoning does not begin and end with the job aspect. A
good education is beneficial from many different viewpoints, and though the importance of a college
education is quite evident for many high school students, what is often not as clear is how they will pay
for that education.
46. Why do some high school graduates prefer working to college study?
A. To obtain high-paying jobs. B. To earn money at an early age.
C. To spend less money on tuition. D. To adapt to the knowledge-based society.
47. The author most likely agrees with the idea that ____.
A. too much time is spent on lectures in college study.
B. high school education is a gateway to more opportunity.
C. college graduates gain more chances over others in job market.
D. a college degree guarantees promotion in American companies.
48. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph after the last paragraph of the passage?
A. Refusing college education. B. Changing college education.
C. Receiving college education. D. Affording college education.
49. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Importance of college education. B. Education means opportunity.
C. Which is more important, job or education? D. How to survive in the college.
50. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever
experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with
others — they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do.
Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many
acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences
between acquaintances and friends.
It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes
you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go
through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably
become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with
you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help
you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time,
you can experience what true friendship is.
In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or
they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to
like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some
of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real 天津一中高一单元测验 英语试卷 第 7 页 (共 9 页)
friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.
However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by
themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because
they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.
51. According to the passage, which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?
A. They have all of the same interests as you do.
B. You seldom meet them in your life.
C. They are sure to become your good friends.
D. Not all of them can become your friends.
52. According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you
________.
A. go to the same school as your friend
B. get into trouble
C. enjoy the same kind of music as your friend
D. see your friend often
53. We know from the passage that ________.
A. it doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not
B. people with bright personality are easy to have friends
C. people without friends are always unhappy
D. it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one
54. What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?
A. Very deep. B. Not deep at all.
C. As precious as skin. D. Hidden under the skin.
55. What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?
A. Interested. B. Angry. C. Hopeful. D. Regretful.
