I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not __38___ have scored more than 80. __39___, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always __40__ it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man __41___ questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I’d prove myself a __42___. In a world where I have to work with my __43___, I’d do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man __44___ He had a habit of telling __45___. One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb(聋哑) man __46___ some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made __47___ movements with the other hanD．The clerk brought him a hammer, He __48__ his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk __49___ him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the __50___ man who came in was blind．He wanted scissors (剪刀). __51___ do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his __52___ and asked for them. I’ve been __53___ that on all my customers today, but I knew __54___ I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I askeD．“Because you are so god damned educated, DoC．I knew you couldn’t be very __55___.”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

| 2002年完形填空所选材料为一篇夹叙夹议的短文，题材涉及人才观，富含辩证哲理，教育意义较强。其难度与上年基本持平。短文选材还具有以下特点：
(1)短文所涉及的话题与考生贴近，阅读理解过程中背景不会构成困难。(2)开头以设问点题——何谓智力?继而对Intelligence test所给成绩的意义提出质疑。循此线索展开讨论，以auto-repair man和自己这个Doctor作为对照，提出对智力高低、人才优劣的评价观念。(3)篇章结构清晰：五个自然段中，前三段和第五段均为作者个人阐述；第四段占全文篇幅的五分之三，以对照人物(auto-repair man)所讲述的故事及两人之间的对话为主，语言生动，形成鲜明反差，道出了另一种人才评价观。把握这一篇章结构特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。(4)短文以第一人称记述，因此可以知道作者的所思所想，对另一个人物的观点态度则只能通过“我”的所见所闻来观察品味，阅读答题过程中需要十分细致地把握好人物角色的转换，才能准确作出判断选择。 在20小题中只需经过局部判断便可找出答案的只有2题，仅占10％：37、40；其余小题则需要逾越句子甚至通篇理解才可找到答案(带*号的小题属于后者)：36、38*、39、41*、42*、43*、44、45*、46*、47*、48*、49*、50*、51*、52*、53、54、55*。显然，绝大多数小题都需要从全文角度进行判断才能选对答案，这一命题思路反映了NMET“突出语篇”的命题风格与考查要求。 1．(02—36) [思路]此项智力测验(intelligence test)是a11 soldiers都已接受(took)过的，“我”本人又已经有了成绩(scored 160)，本空中所填动词应能表达出“参加”测试之意，选received才对。 [答案]C [说明]选择failed(选项A)填入此空的考生显然没能掌握全文大意，甚至也没有正确理解本段的意思：作者是说自己在intelligence test中表现不俗，平均分100，“我”考了160，自然不会是failed the test了。 2．(02—37) [答案]A 3．(02—38) [思路]可以从本句结构(could not have scored)看出作者所使用的婉转推测语气。此处语意为，这位auto-re pair man在这类intelligence tests中得分不会超过80分。根据作者的这种语气在句中添加副词，以一种犹疑口气表示委婉礼貌，自然也与作者的“Doc”身份相称，应该选用 possibly这样的“柔和字眼”。其余三个选项副词如果填入此空，均难以表达此意。 [答案]B 4．(02—39) [思路]本空之后讲：when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him(=the auto-repair man)；上文说过“我”的intelligence test score为160，此人最多不会超过80。两人形成对比，为明显的转折语气，四个选项连词中只有Yet可以有此功能。 [答案]D 5．(02—40) [答案]A 6．(02—41) [思路]本段开头所采用的语气(Well，then...)说明作者这里要让读者换个角度看问题。此处仍然采用比较与对照(compare and contrast)的写作方式：上文说的是常规性的intelligence test，此处suppose一反常规地由auto repair man出题来考“我”这样的Doctor。所以是由auto repair man来出题(designed questions)，而不是被动地答题应试(排除answered，practised和tried)。 考生如能通过浏览把握本文各段大意对选出答案也极为有助：第一段点题，交待自己在智力测验中的好成绩；第二段介绍auto-repair man情况；本段则要说明，如果由后者出题考自己，结果会如何。 [答案]C 7．(02—42) [答案]D 8．(02—43) [思路]本句为上文的归纳与结论。需要特别注意“我”与auto-repair man分别代表着两类人——劳心者(those who work with their brains)和劳力者(...with their hands)。作者此处承认，由“我”来对付另一个领域中的问题，则会勉为其难(do poorly)，这里说的正是auto repair man所长而“我”所短的领域，本空应选hands。 [答案]C [说明]如果误选A项则会形成如下文意：In a world where I have to work with my brains，I’d do poorly，这显然与原本文意相反(行文至此一直在说自己的智商不低)。这部分考生没有能够把握住全文的基本文脉，不明白作者此处是想说明自己在“动手”方面不如别人。 9．(02—44) [思路]从形式上看，本题所设选项为副词或相应短语，实际上用在句子里表达的是一种逻辑关联语意。这里是要“再”来说说the auto-repair man，空中应该填入 again。以下引出大段故事，也是全文的主干部分。 [答案]A 10．(02—45) [答案]B 11．(02—46) [答案]D 12．(02—47) [答案]B 13．(02—48) [答案]C 14．(02—49) [答案]A 15．(02—50) [思路]应该了解整个故事的梗概：都是买钉子，一个聋哑，一个盲人。体会这位说笑话者(auto-repair man)的意图与叙事条理。这里说到随后来的一位顾客，要买剪刀，应该是the next man。根据常理，商店不会只来两位顾客，因此不能选(the)other。 [答案]D 16．(02—51) [答案]B 17．(02—52) [答案]C 18．(02—53) [答案]A 19．(02—54) [答案]A 20．(02—55) [思路]在auto-repair man看来，书读多了的人思维是不会那么敏捷的(couldn’t be very smart)。需要注意所讲的这个笑话和所提的问题，主要是考查人是否能够作出快捷反应，而不是说人的清醒与否，因此选项A(clear=not confused)看来似乎也有些道理，却也是不能作为最佳答案的。 [答案]D

How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃)? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking prop
er measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.
● Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
● Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器)。Don’t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
● If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.
● Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they don’t know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.
● This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.
【小题1】. What is the main idea of the passage?
| A．to tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays |
| B．to let the outdoor lights on all the time |
| C．to tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday |
| D．to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet. |
| A．Have all the curtains closed | B．Stop your mail service at once |
| C．Turn to your close neighbors or friends | D．Equip your home with security system |
| A．be very popular with families | B．have no effect on preventing thefts |
| C．give a false impression on thefts. | D．be a little hard to be brought into effect. |
| A．discover | B．discourage | C．surprise | D．attract |
