    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．It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave．（31）G But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages？Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body？
    Scientists have recently tackled these questions．They found that when a person is looking at your face，she might not believe what she sees of your body language matches the feeling that your face shows．
    （32）BPreviously，they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken．For example，most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice，"I'm so excited．"
    When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language，most scientists suspected that the face was more important．To test if this was true，psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies（with faces blurred out） that showed anger or fear．（33）FAn angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips．A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth．（34）EA scared body had arms forward and shoulders square，as if ready to defend．
    These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people．Even when people pay attention to the face，body language subtly influences which emotion they read．（35）D And if you want to be understood，it helps to avoid sending mixed messages．
    A．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people．
    B．Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists．
    C．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds．
    D．So，your body language is important for telling people how you feel．
    E．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle，as if ready to fight．
    F．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies．
    G．When you do this，your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them．

      Millions of people are using cell phones today．In many places，it is actually considered unusual not to use one．（31）B．They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected．
    The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried．Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones．Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity（负面报道）of such ideas．（32）E．On the other hand，signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment．In one case，a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss．（33）F．This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day，every day of his working week，for a couple of years．
    （33）D？The answer is radiation（辐射）．High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones．Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation，but they say the amount is too small to worry about．
    As the discussion about the safety continues，it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often．（35）G．Use your mobile phone only when you really need it．In the future，mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health．So for now，it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often．

    A．They will possibly affect their benefits
    B．In many countries，cell phones are very popular with young people

    15．For their nick-of-time acts，Toby，a 2-year-old dog，and Winnie，a cute cat，were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals．
    As Amy Paul choked（哽住） on a piece of apple at her home，her dog jumped up，landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece in her throat out．When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be killed by carbon monoxide，their cat clawed at the wife Cathy's hair until she woke up and called for help．
    No one could explain their timely heroics．
    Both pets were rescued by their owners in infancy-----Toby as a 4-week-old thrown into a garbage bin to die，and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn，so helpless that Cathy's husband，Eric，had to feed her milk with an eyedropper．
    As the Keeslings recalled it，a gas-driven pump being used broke down，spreading carbon monoxide through the house．By the time Winnie went to rescue，the couple's 14-year-old son was already unconscious．"Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me，with a kind of angry sound，"Cathy Keesling said．The state police responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death，judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house．
    Amy Paul's husband was at his job when she took a midday break from making jewelry and bit into an apple．"Normally I peel them，but I read in Good Housekeeping Magazine that the skin has all the nutrients，so I ate the skin，and that's what caused me to choke，"she recalled．"I couldn't breathe and I was in panic when Toby jumped on me．He never does that，but he did，and saved my life．"
    Both Toby and Winnie accompanied their owners to the awards luncheon．
    21．What would be the suitable title for the passage？B
    A．Great Honors for Cat and Dog
    B．Dog and Cat Honored for Saving Their Masters
    C．Unforgettable Experiences
    D．So Smart Animals Are
    22．Winnie saved the lives of its owner's whole family in an accident byD．
    A．jumping onto its owner                   
    B．calling for help
    C．making some strange noises               
    D．clawing at Cathy's hair
    23．Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word"infancy"in Paragraph 4？A
    A．babyhood         B．Youth      
    C．Middle age        D．agedness
    24．What caused the carbon monoxide spreading through the house？A
    A．A pump breaking down．
    B．A driver breaking into the house．
    C．The burning gas．
    D．The poisonous gas．
