I feel ashamed to admit this, but in much of my past life, I pretended I knew what was going on when I didn’t, for fear of being “caught out”. In the school cafeteria, when people talked about TV shows, which I didn’t have the channels for, or on MSN Messenger, when I read unfamiliar song lyrics my friends had shared, I felt upset and I’d pretend to be calm and recognize what they were talking about, like everyone else.
I did this, as I didn’t want to be seen not to understand some things that people, I respected were good at. I thought that if I didn’t know what was going on, it betrayed a moral failing and exposed me as a boy who was deeply uncool and actually, a bit stupid.
And so I nodded along silently. I prayed I wouldn’t be found out what I really was, or I would feel embarrassed. I would follow up each incident with some diligent homework on the subject, trying to disguise myself. Unsurprisingly, it all became far too much and recently I’ve found myself overwhelmed by the number of things I didn’t know about. From politics to pop culture—even Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. I just felt exhausted by it all.
And so I made a decision. I decided to stop nodding frequently at the pub while crazily searching the relative information under the table. Instead, now I’m embracing saying what is really true when I don’t know what the other person is talking about. Instead of hurrying to make up some funny opinion about a show I’ve never seen, I’ll say something like: “I’ve heard of that show but I haven’t watched it yet” Saying “I don’t know” is such a simple thing. I’m sorry that it took me so long to start saying that. I’ve changed my attitude towards something I don’t know in life. I’ll never get caught in an embarrassing lie again.
1.What does the author tell us in paragraph 1?
A.His fear of making mistakes. B.The ways to make friends in the past.
C.School activities he and his friends loved. D.His sense of shame about lying in the past.
2.How did the author feel when he didn’t know about the topic m conversation?
A.Confused. B.Anxious and awkward.
C.Unconcerned. D.Calm and relaxed
3.What does the underlined word “disguise” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Hide. B.Beat.
C.Expose. D.Fool.
4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To show disadvantages of being ignored.
B.To show some embarrassing learning experiences.
C.To tell us what to do with the case of being “caught out”.
D.To tell us how saying “I don’t know” changed his life attitude.

高三英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
When my daughter, Sophie, was admitted to a college we were very happy, but a little worried about becoming empty nesters. I knew I had to do something to help myself adapt, starting with the summer before she left.
Sophie had a pack of colorful T-shirts. I knew she wouldn’t wear them any more, so I decided to make a quilt out of them for her bed at college. It focused my energy, and also let me relive some memories. I tried to work on the quilt when Sophie wasn’t at home----which turned out to be often. She was very busy with her friends. Even when she was around, her door was shut more than usual. I felt a bit hurt. After all, we didn’t have much time together before she went to college, I was already missing her, and she hadn’t ever left yet.
When we arrived at the college, a wave of emotion flooded me. I tried to hold it back, but Sophie saw it in my face. She took a big red book from her bag. “I made this for you, Mom,” she said. Then I knew why she had been staying behind a closed door that summer. It was an album of photographs documenting the life of our family over the last 17 years.
I broke into tears. Some of it was sadness at having to let her go, but some of it was joy. I knew that our connection was more powerful than ever, and that we’d always be connected by the strongest of threads, the love that went into every stitch of her quilt and every photo of my album.
In Sophie’s dormitory I unfolded the quilt on her bed. For a moment she was speechless. Then she threw her arms around me. “Mom, I love you,” she said. One of her new friends was calling her outside. Sophie turned, and I let her go.
1.
What do we learn about Sophie from the passage?
| A．She did not understand how her mother felt about her leaving. |
| B．She had few friends, and kept to herself at home that summer. |
| C．She made a photo album to show her love. |
| D．She liked her colorful T-shirts very much. |
2.
Why did the author feel hurt, according to the second paragraph?
| A．Because Sophie was not interested in what she was doing. |
| B．Because Sophie had little time for her. |
| C．Because Sophie was going to leave home for a long time. |
| D．Because Sophie did not help her to make the quilt. |
3.
How did the author feel when they arrived at the college?
| A．She felt worried. |
| B．She felt nervous. |
| C．She was sorry to be leaving her daughter. |
| D．She missed her daughter very much. |
4.
Why did the author finally let her daughter go?
| A．She realized that her daughter had to go to college by herself. |
| B．She realized that the love between them would never be cut off. |
| C．Sophie’s present had made her forget her sorrow. |
| D．Sophie’s new friends were calling her outside the dormitory. |
