高三英语完型填空困难题查看答案及解析
I grew up with a fat dad—450 pounds at his heaviest.Every week he would try a new diet,and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.
After my thirdgrade year,my dad landed a lifechanging job in Manhattan.My mom,my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown,Chicago,and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind.
Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City.There would be no more special weekends at my grandmother’s house,the only place I can remember feeling happy,safe and nourished (有营养的).It was what I desired.In this new city,I felt extremely alone and lost,and I missed my grandmother terribly.
My grandmother knew just how I felt—And she knew the cure.Every week,she would send me a card with a $20 bill,a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market.It kept us bonded,and her recipes filled my body and soul.
Over the years,I have grown to better understand my father’s struggles with weight and the toll (代价) it took on him and those who love him.I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain.And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps because of it),as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.
Today,my father weighs 220 pounds and is a vegan (素食者).How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks.More importantly,food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart,but a bridge that keep us connected.There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weightloss victories.And now I am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father’s house,just as my grandmother did for me.
1.What kind of person was actually the author’s father?
A.He was a man of vanity and selfishness.
B.He didn’t like to eat with his family.
C.He was more painful than selfish.
D.He forced his family to eat what he liked.
2.The author desired to go to his grandmother’s________.
A.to see his father B.for tasty food
C.for pocket money D.to avoid his family
3.The underlined word “cure” in Paragraph 4 is the nearest in meaning to “________”.
A.solution B.concern
C.operation D.situation
4.The author became a nutrition consultant mainly because________.
A.his father often talked with him about dietary theories
B.he was determined to change his own daily habits
C.he wanted to study the recipes his grandmother had given him
D.his childhood experiences gave him too deep an impression
5.What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?
A.He often quarreled with his father about food
B.His father will tell him his story in the following weeks
C.The most he talks about with his father is nourishment
D.He often sends recipe cards to his grandmother in return

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 21 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 23 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 24 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 25 . One day John took out a folded piece of 26 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 27 up some drawers at home.
It was a 28 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写,乱涂) about her dream guy. 29 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 30 only had a few months left to live.
It was 31 a beautiful recipe (处方,食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 33 reads. After that she turned 34 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 35 with and loved most in her life. “36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 37 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 38 as Janet was to him. I need to 39 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know 40 I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

高三英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
In 2010, after six years of training and further six years on the wards, I resigned from my job as a junior doctor. My parents still haven’t forgiven me.
Last year, the General Medical Council wrote to me to say they were taking my name off the medical register. It wasn’t exactly a huge shock, as I hadn’t practiced medicine in half a decade.
It was, however, excellent news for my spare room, as I cleared out box after box of old paperwork, tearing files up fast. One thing I did rescue from the jaws of death was my training portfolio (档案袋). All doctors are recommended to log their clinical experience, in what’s known as reflective practice. On looking through this portfolio for the first time in years, my reflective practice seemed to involve going up to my hospital on-call room and writing down anything remotely interesting that had happened that day.
Among the funny and the dull, I was reminded of the long hours and the huge impact being a. junior doctor had on my life. Reading back, it felt extreme and unreasonable in terms of what was expected of me, but at the time I’d just accepted it as part of the job. There were points where I wouldn’t have stepped back if an entry read “had to eat a helicopter today”.
Around the same time that I was reliving all this through my diaries, junior doctors in the here and now were coming under fire from politicians. I couldn’t help but feel doctors were struggling to get their side of the story across (probably because they were at work the whole time) and it struck me that the public weren’t hearing the truth about what it actually means to be a doctor. Rather than shrugging my shoulders and ignoring the evidence, I decided I had to do something to redress the balance.
So here they are: the diaries I kept during my time in the NHS, verruca’s and all. What it’s like working on the front line, the consequences in my personal life, and how, one terrible day, it all became too much for me. (Sorry for the spoiler of my book beforehand, but you still watched Titanic knowing how that was going to play out.)
Along the way, I’ll help you out with the medical terminology and provide a bit of context about what each job involved. Unlike being a junior doctor, I won’t just drop you in the deep end and expect you to know exactly what you’re doing.
1.Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?
A.But I found it a hard job to pick up my practice of medicine.
B.But I found it an easy task to turn over a new leaf in the long term.
C.But I found it a simple act to get involved in self-reflection as a junior doctor.
D.But I found it a big deal on an emotional level to permanently close this chapter of my life.
2.The author cleared out box after box of old paperwork so fast because .
A.he was disappointed at being dismissed from the NHS
B.being removed from his position served his purpose
C.being rescued from the jaws of death discouraged him
D.he had promised to keep his patients' personal information secret
3.The phrase “had to eat a helicopter today” in Paragraph 4 indicates that a junior doctor has to .
A.work hard for promotion B.equip himself with practical skills
C.look through all the portfolios D.live up to some extreme expectations
4.Which of the following best explains “redress the balance” underlined in Paragraph 5?
A.Argue with politicians. B.Tell the full story of doctors.
C.Collect more solid evidence. D.Win the support of the public.
5.What does the author intend to do by writing this article?
A.Reveal what it means to be a junior doctor.
B.Inform readers of some medical knowledge.
C.Give some background information on a book.
D.Encourage more people to practice medicine.
6.What attitude does the author hold towards the NHS?
A.Critical. B.Appreciative
C.Ambiguous. D.Doubtful.
