2018.9月（第4部分）完形填空-解密

第四部分完形填空（2018年9月统考）

 

简单说完形填空就是选词填空，给5个单词填写在不同的位置， 1篇短文5小题，每题3分，共15分.

以下完形填空题（100%实考题）题目难度较低，根据预测考试出现几率总结20篇，建议强记，可以直接看内容后背答案，确保完型的15分不丢。

解题思路：一般是一篇150字左右的短文中间留5个空缺部分,5个选项中选出最佳答案填入相应的空格内,一个空格只能填一个选项。

做题前快速浏览短文，忽略空白，掌握文章大意，之后以巨资为单位仔细阅读，逐个填空，根据上下文，常识和词语，根据文章内容判断选择。先易后难， 利用已选出的正确答案推测未知答案。比如说一段话的结尾是句号，接着是空格， 那么这个空格主要从下面的答案中找一个以大写字母开头的单词，因为句首需要大写；比如说the后面需要跟的是名词，你就从答案中找名词属性的单词。确定一个少一个，剩余不会做的题目，可以填还有选的选项，不要填重复的答案。

本部分不做红色标注，建议有一定基础的同学进行温习掌握，如基础较差可考前突击复习。

Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the freshwater that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other   22  .And we can't even use all of that, because some of it is in the form oficebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, asthings stand today, this small amount of fresh water,  23  isconstantly being replaced by rainfall; is still enough for us. But our need forwater is increasing rapidly－almost day by day. We all have to learn how to stopwasting our  24 water. One of thefirst steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it.

Scientistshave studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the packagehas a great effect___21__ the “quality” of the product and on how well itsells, because “consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package.Many products are packages and many packages are products, ’’ as Louis Cheskin,the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.”

For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots onthe thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word“green” today can keep food prices___23__.

科学家们最近研究了顾客行为，发现包装的外观极大地影响了对商品质量的判断以及商品的销量，因为“顾客一般辨认不出商品与包装。很多商品是包装好了的，很多包装本身就是商品。”首个研究包装带给顾客感受的社会科学家路易斯•彻斯金发现。

颜色是商品包装的一个制胜法宝。对眼睛移动的研究显示，颜色能快速吸引人的注意力。以V8为例。很多年来，西红柿和胡萝卜的鲜艳的红色映在细小的瓶子上，让你感觉到这个对你身体很有好处。而今天“绿色“这个词可以是食物价格大幅度上涨。形状是另一个关键。圆形象征着幸福、和平，因为这些形状既对你的眼睛又对你的心脏有好处。那就是为什么麦当劳M是黄色的圆圆的字体既可以吸引年轻人又可以吸引老人。

顾客对包装的颜色以及形状的反应，依然是生产商和销售商来满足顾客身体和心灵需求的主要方式。

鹰是世界上寿命最长的鸟类，一生的年龄可达70岁。要活这么长的寿命，在其生命的中期必须做出艰难却重要的决定。

因为鹰活到40岁的时候，它的长而灵活爪子开始老化，无法有效地抓住猎物；它的长而尖喙变弯，翅膀也越加沉重，由于厚重的老羽毛，翅膀和胸粘在一起，使得飞翔十分吃力。这时，它只有两种选择：一是等待死亡；二是经历150天痛苦的重整后再生。?

选择重整后再生的鹰，要经过一个痛苦更新的过程。它首先要努力地飞到山顶，在悬崖筑巢，这段时间，要用力将又长又弯的喙击打岩石，直到完全脱落，然后等候新的喙长出来；再用长出的新喙将老羽毛一片一片地拔掉。五个月后，待新的羽毛长出后，鹰得以重生，又可以翱翔于广阔的天空，继续后30年的生命旅程。
