高二英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
In the four months since I last posted articles on my blog，I’ve been spending a lot of time studying Chinese.I wanted to pass the HSK.From the beginning of my program，the HSK was the end goal of my Chinese learning this year.Luckily，I passed it and now I have one and a half months to go home and stay with my family.
It’s really exciting to learn Chinese in an environment where I can study very fast.What’s more，I can see my own progress in different ways.When I got here eight and a half months ago，I only knew a few of the 150 words tested in the HSK 1.However,until now,I’ve taken and passed the 2500word HSK 5.
I remember a time around January.I thought my Chinese had reached the point where I was comfortable in my daytoday conversations.So my progress would slow down greatly.However，it turned out that I was totally wrong.The conversations I can have now far surpass(超过) the ones I was having in January.
Today I hit a languagelearning landmark(里程碑) that was particularly exciting for me:I finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in Chinese.It might not seem that exciting，but it was for me because it’s the first full book I’ve read in Chinese.And it’s the third language I’ve read Harry Potter in.I’m especially proud because I spent about seven months reading the first 35 pages,but in the last month and a half,I managed to read about 150 pages.My next challenge is to read a novel written by a Chinese author，rather than one that I’ve already read many times in English!
Hopefully，I’ll be able to keep up my languagelearning progress over the next month and a half，because I know I’ll probably never have another opportunity to learn a language like this.
Do you want to learn a new language？If you do，go to the country where people speak it and learn it from the locals.
1.What do we know about the author when she first came to China?
A. She didn’t want to learn Chinese.
B. She took the HSK 1 immediately.
C. She was extremely poor at Chinese.
D. She just knew 150 words tested in the HSK 1.
2.Why does the author say she was totally wrong in Paragraph 3?
A. Because she didn’t really know how to learn Chinese.

C. Because she was uncomfortable in her day to day conversations.
D. Because she made rapid progress in her day to day conversations.
3.What does the author want to show by mentioning reading Harry Potter?
A. She could read books really fast.
B. It’s good to learn through reading.
C. She learned the Chinese language quickly.
D. The Harry Potter books are worth reading.
4.What does the author’s Chinese learning experience mainly tell us?

The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, “Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”

In doing so, he showed a steel brace(固定器) running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.

At the end of last summer my parents’ house in Tunstall went up in flames. Several months on, we’re still trying to find out exactly what happened, but my parents John and Carole were out when more than half the house was burned to the ground. What was left behind needed to be pulled down and most of the things that were not actually destroyed were so smoke-damaged that they would have to be thrown away.
My parents were both teachers and not the kind of people to fill their house with expensive furniture, so most of their belongings were memories-----including photos and the tracksuit(运动服) that Dad was given when he carried the Olympic torch (火炬). But what really upset me was not the loss of these things.
Dad had an album(唱片) for every occasion. Once his car got broken into and he was more upset that his cassettes had been nicked(划伤) than about all the rest of the damage. So when I was considering doing something to help after the fire, I immediately thought about his music. We couldn’t get the old photos back, but we could replace his CDs and records. Then I started a little page about my dad on the blogging site Tumblr.
Within a few days, news of what had happened spread by word of mouth, and I was getting messages from friends I hadn’t spoken to for years. I also heard from Dad’s mates and even from people neither of us had ever met. Soon packages arrived from all over the country. I expected 100CDs if we were lucky, but his new collection would now run into the thousands!
On Christmas Day, all the records, tapes and CDs were packed into a beautiful box, which of course, was for my dad. A lot of them came from his previous students and he was touched to realize what an effect he had had on their lives. Eventually , he told me, “What could have been a bad Christmas has been a very good one.”
1.Last summer, the author’s parents___________.
A. rebuilt their house in Tunstall
B. lost their house due to a big fire
C. got burned while putting out a fire
D. found their house was broken into
2.Which of the following things does John care about most?
A. His tracksuit. B. The Olympic torch.
C. The old photos. D. His music collection.
3.We can infer from the text that John_______.
A. was a very popular teacher
B. had a hard time last Christmas
C. sang a lot for various occasions
D. lost interest in all things after the fire
4.What does the author probably try to tell us in the text?
A. One father is more than a hundred school masters.
B. Music washes away from the heart the dust of everyday life.
C. The world is full of people happy to do something for someone.
D. Accidents may happen to everyone if they are not careful enough.
