点评非等距离挖空的命题方式是完形填空的最大特色．短文首句不挖空，以便为考生理解全文留下足够信息，命题者根据考查目的进行挖空，造成信息链中断，这就要求考生依据上下文的文意捕捉到空白处的缺词．从近几年高考完形填空题看，纯语法知识几乎不考，主要考查考生灵活运用所学词汇的能力，尤其是以考查实词或信息词为主，着重考查考生对文章的内在逻辑和整体把握能力．因此，把握句间和段落之间的内在逻辑关系，通过上下文暗示，对篇章、段落或句意的整体把握；再则，干扰项的设置与语法结构无甚关系，重在文意干扰．因此，把握文意和具体语境，通过对词义的辨析，是解完形填空的最好手段．

10．When my brother and I were young，my Mom would take us on Transportation Days．
It goes like this：you can't take any means of transport more than once．We would start from home walking two blocks to the railway station．We'd take the train into the city center，then a bus，switching to the tram，then maybe a taxi．We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district，but we didn't like the way the horses were treated，so we never did．At the end of the day，we took the subway to our closest station，where Mom's friend was waiting to give us a ride home-our first car ride of the day．
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around．She was born to be multimodal（多方式的）．She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and，above all，a failure of confidence-the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels．
Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform，nothing is frightening any more．New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored．And your personal car，if you have one，becomes just one more tool in the toolbox-and often an inadequate one，limiting both your mobility and your wallet．
On Transportation Days，we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy，but the transportation was the point．First，it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window．As I got older，my Mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself：How do I know where to get off？How do I know how much it costs？How do I know when I need tickets，and where to get them？What track，what line，which direction，where's the stop，and will I get wet when we go under the river？
I'm writing this right now on an airplane，a means we didn't try on our Transportation Days and，we now know，the dirtiest and most polluting of them all．My flight routed me through Philadelphia．My multimodal Mom met me for dinner in the airport．She took a train to meet me．

62．Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days？B
A．Having a car ride．
B．Taking the train twice．
C．Buying more than one toy．
D．Touring the historic district．
63．According to the writer，what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days？A
A．Building confidence in herself．
B．Reducing her use of private cars．
C．Developing her sense of direction．
D．Giving her knowledge about vehicles．
64．The underlined word"paralyzed"（in Para.5）is closest in meaning to"D"．
A．displayed
B．misunderstood
C．forgot
D．ruined
65．Which means of transportation does the writer probably dislike？A
A．Airplane．B．Subway．C．Tram．D．Car．

11．Overpopulation is one of the serious problems that the whole world is facing．Many
countries are trying to handle it．Among them，Brazil has become one of the developing world's great successes at reducing population growth-but more by accident than design．While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates，Brazil has had better result without really trying，says George Martine at Harvard．
Brazil's population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951and 1960to 1.93% a year between 1981and 1990，and Brazilian women now have only 2.7children on average．Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990，an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries．
Martine puts it down to，among other things，soap operas and installment （分期付款） plans introduced in the 1970s．both played an important，although indirect，role in lowering the birth rate．Brazil is one of the world's biggest producers of soap operas．Globo，Brazil's most popular television network，shows three hours of soaps six nights a week，while three others show at least one hour a night．Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities．
"Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction，they describe middle and upper class values-not many children，different attitudes towards sex，women working，"says Martine．"They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values，which were put into a very attractive package．"
Meanwhile，the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers．"This led to an enormous change in consumption （消耗、消费） patterns and consumption was incompatible （不相容的） with unlimited reproduction．"Says Martine．

68．According to the passage，Brazil has cut back its population growthB．
A．by educating its citizens 　　　　　　　　
B．by chance
C．by developing TV programs 　　　　　
D．by careful family planning
69．According to the passage，many Third World countriesB．
A．haven't attacked much importance to birth control
B．haven't yet found an effective measure to control their population
C．would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate
D．neglected the role of TV plays in family planning
70．Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil's birth rate becauseC．
A．they keep people sitting long hours watching TV
B．people are drawn to their attractive package
C．they have gradually changed people's way of life
D．they popularize birth control measures
71．What is Martine's conclusion about Brazil's population growth？D
A．The increase in birth rate will increase consumption．
B．A country's production is limited by its population growth．
C．Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory （互相矛盾的）
D．The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate．

5．We might think we know which colours do what．The idea that red wakes us up or blue calms us down is deeply rooted in Western culture．But do they really change our behaviour in the ways that we assume？
When it comes to scientific research，the results are mixed and at times contested．Some studies have found that people do better on cognitive tasks when faced with red rather than blue or green； others show the opposite．The idea is that if you repeatedly have a particular experience surrounded by a certain colour，then you eventually begin to associate that colour with the way you were feeling or behaving．A school career spent reading your teacher's red writing circling your mistakes forever makes you link red with danger．Blue meanwhile is more likely to be associated with calmer situations like marvelling at a big blue expanse of sky．
Of course there will always be exceptions---the comment from the teacher saying"well done"is also written in red．It is true that people do make different associations with different colours，but whether this translates into behaving in a certain way or succeeding at a particular task is a different question．
In 2009researchers tried to clarify the situation．They sat their participants at computer screens coloured blue，red or"neutral"and tested them on various tasks．With a red screen people did better on tasks requiring attention to detail，but when the screen was blue they did better on creative tasks．In practice this might be tricky．In a classroom you might want to think creatively some of the time and pay attention to detail at others．
However，when another team tried to repeat the study with a larger group of people in 2014，the effect of colour disappeared．The initial study consisted of just 69people．In this new，bigger study，of 263volunteers，background colour made no difference．
So colours might well have an effect，but so far those effects have been difficult to demonstrate consistently and sometimes don't seem to exist at all．
58．What's the major function of the first paragraph？C
A．To present a widely held view
B．To raise a question of behavior change
C．To introduce the theme of the passage
D．To summarize the whole passage
59．The author mentions the exception in Paragraph 3in order to showC．
A．there are exceptions to every rule
B．people tend to associate colors with behaviors
C．colors don't necessarily mean particular behaviors
D．colors do matter to those who desire success
60．It can be concluded from the results of the studies in 2009and 2014thatB．
A．the research findings are practical in indoor decoration
B．solid evidence is inadequate to prove how colors affect us
C．a larger study may help confirm colors'effects on our behaviors
D．walls should be painted different colors depending on different tasks．

15．Most animals never see their parents!Some insects，fish，amphibians （两栖动物） and reptiles（爬行动物） hatch from eggs and face life completely alone．But we found some unusual animal dads．
Penguin：A father Emperor penguin bears the Antarctic cold for 60 days or more to protect his eggs．During this time he doesn't eat a thing．Most father penguins lose about 25 pounds while they wait for their babies to hatch．Afterwards，they feed the babies a special liquid from the mouth．When the mothers return，the fathers go to eat and rest．
