However, Falcon was later found to have been hiding in the familys garage the whole time. The “balloon boy”
28、 incident turned out to be a hoax (骗局) and the Heenes were _28_ of doing it in the hope of landing their own reality TV shows. Instead, they got a fine and a short sentence each but they were certainly _29_ for a while.So do we want fame? Research suggests that a large number of us do. According to
29、one recent survey, 30 percent of adults regularly daydream about being famous and 40 percent of us expect to _30_ some kind of fame in our lifetimes. Perhaps a better question is: should we want to be famous? Do we really want every _31_ of our private lives exposed in newspapers and discussed on te
30、levision? Some people, such as talent show contestant Susan Boyle, seem ill-euipped to deal with this kind of _32_, despite their talent. Boyle gained international fame for her extraordinary singing voice after appearing on TV talent show Britains Got Talent and her first album became the fastest-s
31、elling of all time in the U.K. But the sudden fame didnt seem easy for her at first, and after the final of the show, Boyle was _33_ to a private psychiatric clinic.Furthermore, people who achieve fame often dont seem to like it once they have it. A survey of celebrities found that they worry about
32、the press, critics, threatening letters, the lack of privacy, and the _34_ on their children. These are hardly worries that _35_ people have to deal with. They also, _36_, worry about what would happen if they were no longer famous. And there are plenty of people to ask about that. Take, for example
33、, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy from the sea and enjoyed the media spotlight for several months afterwards. When it ended, however, he _37_ his job as a toilet cleaner. “I know Im a nobody,” he said when the attention had _38_.“When the person has to go back to everyday life, there

C【解析】【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了现今社会很多人都想成名，有的人想尽各种办法博取名声，有的人却并不能适应成名之后带来的变化，也有人成名之后患得患失。当回归平常生活的时候，这些人往往有一种失落和失望。【25题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意： 似乎任何想要名气的人都可以获得它。A. envy妒忌；B. avoid避免；C. afford买得起；D. get得到。分析可知，横线后的it指的是名气；根据后文Richard and Mayumi
38、Heene的例子可知，他们做出的行为是为了变得出名从而得到名气。故选D项。26题详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：比如Richard和Mayumi Heene，把一个大气球升到2000米的高空，然后打电话给一个电视网络，说他们六岁的儿子Falcon在气球里面。A. for example比如；B. on the other hand另一方面；C. in contrast相反；D. in comparison相较而言。根据后文的The “balloon boy” incident turned out to be a hoax (骗局) and the Heenes were _4_ of doin
39、g it in the hope of landing their own reality TV shows.可知，“气球男孩”事件只是一个为了博取关注度的骗局，这个事件正好验证了上一段中的“It seemed that anyone who wanted fame could _1_ it. And some people wanted it far too much.”，所以这是对上文的举例说明。故选A项。【27题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：飞机被重新规划航线，Denver国际机场被关停。A. shut down关闭；B. searched through全面搜索；C. sent off
40、寄出；D. looked into调查。根据上文的“Richard and Mayumi Heene, _2_ , launched a large balloon 2,000 meters into the air and then called a TV network to say that their six-year-old son, Falcon, was inside it.”可推断，机场为了救人，停运了所有飞机，机场被关闭。故选A项。【28题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：气球男孩事件证明是一个骗局，Heene夫妇因此被控告，他们的行为是为了开展他们自己的电视真人秀。A. cha
41、rged控告；B. accused控告；C. considered认为；D. warned警告。根据后文的“they got a fine and a short sentence each”可知，Heene夫妇被控告，结果是被罚款被判刑；用charge表示控告的短语为be charged with,用accuse表示控告的短语为be accused of。故选B项。【29题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：相反，他们被罚款并且两个人都被判了短期徒刑但是他们确实在短时间内出名了。A. supported支持的；B. ashamed羞愧的；C. crazy疯狂的； D. famous 著名的。根据
42、前文的“the Heenes were _4_ of doing it in the hope of landing their own reality TV shows”及常识可知，Heene夫妇的行为肯定会引起社会关注，成为新闻，他们也会因此变得出名。故选D项。【30题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：根据最近的调查，30%的成年人经常做白日梦，梦想自己成为了名人，40%的人希望在生活中体验某种名气。A. involve涉及，参与；B. increase提高；C. beat打败；D. experience 体验。根据句中的并列词and可知，前后的内容是并列关系，前半句说的是人们想出名，可推断后
43、半句也是表达类似含义，即人们想体验出名的感觉。故选D项。【31题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们真的想让我们私生活的每一个方面都曝光在报纸上，然后在电视上被讨论吗？A. arrangement安排；B. aspect方面；C. variety种类；D. zone地区。根据前文的“So do we want fame? Research suggests that a large number of us do. ”可知，我们大部分人都想成名；根据常识可知，成名之后社会关注度变高，私生活被暴露在公众视野之下，方方面面都可能被当作讨论的对象。故选B项。【32题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：有些人
44、，比如说选秀选手Susan Boyle，似乎并没有准备好去处理好成名所带来的压力，尽管他们很有才华。A. behavior行为；B. crisis危机；C. pressure压力；D. reputation名声。根据后文的“Boyle gained international fame for her extraordinary singing voice after appearing on TV talent show.”及“But the sudden fame didnt seem easy for her at first”可知，Susan Boyle在选秀节目中一战成名了，但是突然
45、的名声大噪对她而言并不是一件容易的事情，而是很有压力。故选C项。【33题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：Boyle进了一家私人精神科诊所。A. accessible可达到的；B. admitted收治入院的；C. used习惯的；D. crowded拥挤的。根据前文的“But the sudden fame didnt seem easy for her at first”可知，名声大噪对Boyle来说，带来了很大的不适，产生了精神压力，可推断她去看了精神科。故选B项。【34题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：一份针对名人的调查发现，他们担心记者、批评者、威胁信、隐私的缺乏以及对他们孩子的影响。A
46、. weight重量；B. influence影响；C. benefit益处；D. energy能量。根据句中表示并列的and可知，横线后的名词应该与前文的“threatening letters”、 “the lack of privacy”等并列，具有一定的贬义色彩。故选B项。【35题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些忧虑几乎不是普通人需要去应对的。A. intelligent聪明的；B. well-known著名的；C. common普通的；D. considerate体贴的。根据前文的“A survey of celebrities found that they worry abo
47、ut the press, critics, threatening letters, the lack of privacy, and the _10_ on their children. ”可知，这些忧虑是名人所面临的；句中的hardly表示否定，可推断不需要处理这种忧虑的是跟名人相对的普通人。故选C项。【36题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：讽刺的是，他们也会担忧如果他们一旦不再出名，将会发生什么。A. accidentally偶然地；B. fortunately幸运地；C. ironically讽刺地；D. understandably正常地。这里的they指的是那些名人，他们享受了很
48、多成名带来的益处，但是也忍不住患得患失，这是一件具有讽刺意味的事。故选C项。【37题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：然而，当事情结束的时候，他又回归了厕所清洁员的工作。A. held up支撑；B. gave up放弃；C. decided on选定；D. returned to回到。根据前文“Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy from the sea and enjoyed the media spotlight for several months afterwards.”中的takefor
49、example可知，这是对前文一些人担心不再出名的举例验证,可推断此处讲述的是Donato Dalrymple不再出名之后的现状，即回归到之前的工作。故选D项。【38题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：“我知道我什么也不是，”当他的关注度消失的时候，他这样说道。A. disappeared消失；B. arisen上升；C. been paid被支付；D. grown增长。根据前文的“Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy from the sea and enjoyed the media spotlig
50、ht for several months afterwards.”可知，在被媒体关注一段时间之后，他回到了原来清洁工的生活，意味着他的关注度也随之消失了。故选A项。【39题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：当曾经的名人不得不回归日常生活的时候，会有一种失望和失落以及被骗走某些东西的感觉。A. moderation适度；B. achievement成就；C. disappointment失望；D. direction方向。根据前文Donato Dalrymple的事例可知，当曾经出名的人回归原来的生活的时候，这种落差是很明显的,所以会有一种失望的感觉。故选C项。【点睛】完形填空大部分考查词汇的语境
51、运用，这些词汇往往含义上差别很大，但是也不排除近义词的辨析，这个时候一定要从多个角度解题。如本篇的第4小题，有两个选项都是控告的意思，但是用法不同，这个时候不能光从句意出发，也要结合搭配和语法等方面进行综合考虑。Section BDirections: Read the following three passages.

65、m cleaner.“有一天，吸尘器尖叫着离开了，我不得不清空袋子，因为我找不到替代品。带着对这台机器工作方式终生憎恨，我决定制造一个无袋吸尘器。”由此可知，“三十多岁时，他决定为妻子发明一种新型吸尘器。”的这一说法是错误的。故选B。【41题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million.“然而，直到1993年，我的银行经理亲自说服劳埃德银行借给我
