1、江苏省仪征中学 2015 届高三英语周三练习（三）二 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1 分,满分 20 分）Over the past few decades,more and more countries have opened up the markets,increasingly 41 the world economy into one free-flowing global market.The question is:Is economic globalization 42 for all?According to the World Bank,one of its chief
2、 supporters,economic globalization has helped reduce 43 in a large number of developing countries.It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 44 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration(融合)of local economies into the world economy.Home
3、to 45 three billion people,these twenty-four countries have seen incomes 46 at an average rate of five percent 47 to two percent in developed countries.Those who 48 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.49 ,
4、small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 50 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view,believing that economic globalization is actually 51 the gap between the rich and poor.A study 52 by the UN-sponsor
5、ed World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 53 from integration into the world economy and that the poor,the uneducated,unskilled workers,and native peoples have been left behind.54 ,they maintain that globalization may eventu
6、ally threaten emerging businesses.For example,Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 55 their products may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of 56 .When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods,or when superstore

21、idents,according to Australian psychologists.But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident.The performance of difficult tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise.The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud mus
22、ic made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions:silence,rock music played a
23、t a gentle 55 decibels(分贝),and the same music at 85 decibels.For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car.They had to track a moving disk on screen,respond to traffic signals changing color,and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On
24、 the tracking task,there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions.But under both the loud and quiet music conditions,the performers“braked”at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all.That could mean a reduction in braking dis
25、tance of a couple of meters actually,the difference between life and death for a pedestrian.When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field,the psychologists found that when the music was quiet，people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 millisecon
26、ds.For the people listening at 85 decibels,response times dropped by a further 50 millisecondsa whole tenth of second faster than those“driving”with no music.“But theres a trade-off,”the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology.“They lose the ability to look around the whole situation
27、effectively.”In responding to objects that suddenly appeared,people subjected to 85-decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups.Since some accidentssuch as children running into the roadtake place without any notice,drivers listening to loud music must be less s
28、afe as a result.64.Which of the following is the best way to make driving safer?A.Loud music.B.Quiet music.C.Silence.D.Heavy metal music.65.Where did the researchers do the experiment?A.At crossroads.B.At a police traffic station.C.In a crowded street.D.Under the same conditions as those of the stre
29、ets.66.Which of the following didnt help the performers to“brake”sooner at red lights?A.Silence.B.Loud music.C.Quiet music.D.Rock music.67.Which of the following is NOT true of loud music?A.It helped the performers to brake sooner at red lights.B.It helped the performers to be more careful.C.It help
30、ed the performers to respond faster to objects suddenly stepping in the way.D.It can do more good than harm to drivers.C Grasshoppers are having to change their songone of the iconic sounds of summerto make themselves heard above the noise of road traffic,ecologists have discovered.The study,publish
31、ed in the British Ecological Societys journal Functional Ecology,is the first to show that human-made noise affects natural insect populations.Animals use sound to communicate for many reasons,including marking out territory,warning of predators and finding mates,and although previous research shows
32、 birds,whales and even frogs change their calls in noisy environments,the impact of human-made noise on insects has been neglected until now.Ulrike Lampe and colleagues from the University of Bielefeld in Germany caught 188 male bow-winged grasshoppers,half from quiet locations and half from beside
33、busy roads.The grasshoppers use their song to attract mates.The team then studied the differences in the two groups songs in the laboratory.To encourage them to sing they exposed the males to a female grasshopper,and then recorded their courtship songs.Analysis of almost 1,000 recordings revealed gr
34、asshoppers living beside noisy roads produced different songs to those living in quieter locations.According to Lampe:Bow-winged grasshoppers produce songs that include low and high frequency components.We found that grasshoppers from noisy habitats increase the volume of the lower-frequency part of
35、 their song,which makes sense since road noise can mask signals in this part of the frequency spectrum(频谱).The teams findings are important because traffic noise could be upsetting the grasshoppers mating system(交配系统).Increased noise levels could affect grasshopper courtship in several ways.It could
36、 prevent females from hearing male courtship songs properly,prevent females from recognizing males of their own species,or impair females ability to estimate how attractive a male is from his song,Lampe explains.Having discovered that human-made noise affects insect communication,the researchers now
37、 want to learn more about how the mechanism works,and whether the grasshoppers adapt to noise during their development as larvae(幼虫),or whether males from noisy habitats produce different songs due to genetic differences.The bow-winged grasshopper is a common species in Central Europe.Adults occur m
38、ainly between July and September,preferring dry grasslands.Around 1.5 cm long,they vary in colour from green and browns to red and purple.The males song consists of 2 second-long phrases that increase in amplitude(振幅)towards the end.The beginning of a phrase is characterized by slower ticking sounds
39、 that increase in speed and amplitude,leading to a buzzing sound towards the end of the phrase.A courtship song usually includes 2 phrases.68.The author wrote the article to _.A.introduce how grasshoppers make noises to attract mates.B.raise the awareness of protecting bow-winged grasshoppers.C.warn
40、 us that human-made noise has changed ecological system.D.inform us of a recent discovery of ecological research.69.Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?A.Grasshoppers change their songs to adapt to the noisy environment.B.Bow-winged grasshoppers use their songs to communicat
41、e.C.Grasshoppers songs include both low and high frequency components.D.Bow-winged grasshoppers are a common species in Central Europe.70.What does the underlined word“impair”in the fourth paragraph mean?A.repair B.weaken C.develop D.improve 71.Which of the following statements is true according the
42、 passage?A.Grasshopper larvaes learn to adapt to human-made noise.B.Animals make sounds only for the purpose of finding mates.C.Road noise can cover the lower-frequency part of their song.D.Bow-winged grasshoppers grow up into adults in spring.D Hilary Smith belonged to a good family.But by the age
43、of twenty,he had spent all the money the good old family had.He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison.He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary.What he could do seemed to be one of two things:die
44、or work.Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world.He had an aunt.She was his fathers only sister,but his father used to say she brought no glory to the family.Hilary,of course,tried to discover what she had done.It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman.Instead,she had chosen a h
45、usband who was connected with trade.Of course as soon as she became Mrs.Parks,her brother considered her dead.Later on,Mr.Parks died and left her a lot of money;but that did not bring her back to life in her brothers opinion.Hilary discovered his aunts address.Fortunately she remained faithful and h
46、onest to him even after she fell ill.So Hilarys star shone again,and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor.He had only about a sixpence in his pocket.One thing was soon clear:his aunt was seriously ill,and nothing could cure her illness.Hilary
47、was very worried.Fate had found a home for him,and was now going to throw him out of it.There was only one thing that could save him:her will.Will?she said,yes,I have made one.That was when I was a girl and had not much money.I left all my money to some religious people.Didnt you make another will w
48、hen you were married?Hilary asked.His aunt shook her head.No,she said in a low voice,There was no need.When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law.It told him what he already believed.When a woman is married,an
49、 earlier will loses its value.A new will must be made.If no new will is made,the money goes to the nearest relation.Hilary knew that he was his aunts only relation.His future was safe.After a few months had passed,Hilarys problems became serious.He badly needed money.He had expensive tastes,and owed
50、 a lot of money to shopkeepers.They trusted him because his aunt was rich;but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all.In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds.Hilary was not very angry.He began to wonder about a new problem.
51、Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer?Was it not better for her to die now?While he was considering what to do,his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer.So she was going to make a new will,Hilary thought.She might leave all her money to someone else.Soon he reached a clea
52、r decision.He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off,he doubled the amount of some medicine.The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.Thank you,his aunt took the glass from his hand with a g
53、rateful look.I want,more than anything,to sleep,and never to wake up again.Is that what you wish,Hilary?Dont blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do.Sick people get these ideas,you know.One thing I ought to explain to you.Mr.Parks never married me.He already had a wife and could
54、nt marry again.That made your foolish father very angry with me.Well,if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor.If I die tonight,youll get nothing.No,Hilary,dont try to take the glass away.If you do that,I shall know;and I dont want to know.Good night,Hilary.Then,very carefully,s
55、he raised the glass to her mouth and drank.72.Why did Hilarys father consider his aunt dead?A.Because he thought she was a shame to the family.B.Because she married a businessman with a wife against his will.C.Because she broke away from the family for a better life.D.Because they lost contact with
56、each other after her marriage.73.The underlined sentence He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman in paragraph 11 suggests that Hilary Smith _.A.decided to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyer B.was determined to put his aunts life to an end C.made up his mind to take good care of his au
57、nt D.would help his aunt to donate all her money to religious people 74.According to the law book,_.A.Hilarys aunt is not allowed to make a new will.B.Hilarys aunt must leave the money to the religious people after she dies.C.the money will go to Hilary after his aunt dies without a new will.D.Hilar
58、y must look after his aunt till her death because he is the only relation.75.Which detail from the story is the climax(高潮)of the story?A.Hilary escaped from the prison.B.Hilary quarreled with is aunt about ten pounds.C.Hilarys aunt made a will to leave all her money to someone else.D.Hilarys aunt dr
