高二英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.

I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.

Success , wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness , yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy . I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing .I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys , such as cars , computers ,and televisions ,yet never seem content for too long .Please remember , happiness is the journey of life , not the destination.

1.What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A. The author has a great talent for algebra.

B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.

C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.

D. The author’s experience in his childhood changed his life.

2.The author wants to tell us through the first paragraph that___________.

A. interest is the best teacher　　　　　

B. children are the hope of the future

C. young people are fearless　　　　　

D. where there’s a will , there’s a way

3.What is the secret of happiness in the author’s opinion?

A. Success and wealth.　　　　　　　　

B. Gifts and self-confidence.

C. Enthusiasm and good health.　　　

D. Knowledge and achievements.

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that ___________.

A. rich people generally feel unhappy

B. wealth can’t bring people any happiness

C. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wants

D. being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealth

Johnny the Explorer

Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields and, two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address.

By the time he was seven, Johnny used to disappear from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. Sometimes he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “I just like seeing places,” Johnny told them.

Johnny continued to “see places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he travelled hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.

It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some passages and got on board the nearest plane.

In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed mathematics and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him. “An explorer!” he answered. “But it’s difficult to become an explorer in this modern age,” they tried to tell him. But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!

Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in a daily paper. A long journey was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were jobs for three young people “willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure”. Johnny applied, and two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.

1.At what age did Johnny board a plane for the first time?

A. Three　　　　 B. Seven　　　　　 C. Twelve　　　 D. Not mentioned

2.Johnny frequently left home because ______.

A. he preferred to stay alone　　　　　

B. he enjoyed seeing new places

C. he couldn’t do well at school　　　

D. he didn’t get along well with his parents

3.People around Johnny ______.

A. tried to stop him from slipping away　　

B. kept following him to get him back

C. booked tickets for him if necessary　　　

D. were clear about how he travelled abroad

4.From the passage, we can learn that ______.

A. Johnny worked for a daily paper　　

B. Johnny lacked a sense of adventure

C. Johnny went exploring along the Amazon River

D. Johnny went to Brazil two months after he finished school
