7、 you decide to go where you can eat a healthier meal.KEY:26 N 空格前的 of 表明此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)名詞，與介詞 on 搭配?？崭窈蟮?roller-skates 指“溜冰鞋”，詞庫的動(dòng)名詞中，strapping 可與 on 搭配，后接表示鞋子的賓語，意為“用帶子系上(鞋子）”，符合此處語境。27I 此處需填入修飾 attitude 的詞，由 a 可知需填入的單詞是輔音字母開頭的。上文提到“你”喜歡溜旱冰，穿上鞋子就微笑。“你”同樣知道溜旱冰是很好的運(yùn)動(dòng)，因此這種態(tài)度是積極正面的，故填入 positive “積極的”。28D 此處應(yīng)填入謂

8、語動(dòng)詞，由主語 description 可知是第三人稱單數(shù)形式。文章開頭的 Let's say.表明第一段對(duì)溜旱冰的描繪是舉例，因此此處符合語義邏輯的是 illustrates“說明，闡明”，該處句子的意思是“對(duì)溜旱冰的描述說明了態(tài)度有三個(gè)組成部分”。29C 此處應(yīng)填入謂語動(dòng)詞，由主語 feelings 可知是動(dòng)詞原形。本句要說明態(tài)度的第一個(gè)部分 affect “情感”，主語 these feelings 指的是對(duì)溜旱冰這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)的喜愛之情，highlight “強(qiáng)調(diào)，突出”與賓語 the affective or emotional component“情感或感情部分”搭配合理。而 p

9、revail“流行，盛行；獲勝”是不及物動(dòng)詞,prompt “推動(dòng)；提示”在語義上也不合邏輯。30B 空格在名詞 health 之后，可能填入副詞或名詞。因?yàn)榭崭窈蟮?that the activity can bring“這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)可以帶來的”是定語從句，故應(yīng)填入名詞，充當(dāng)從句先行詞。第一段提到“你”知道溜旱冰是極好的運(yùn)動(dòng)(excellent exercise)，因此本句填入語義相關(guān)的 benefits “好處”。31L 此處應(yīng)填入謂語動(dòng)詞，構(gòu)成sb. to do sth.結(jié)構(gòu)，主語 attitudes 表明該詞是原形。符合要求的是 prompt “促使”，句子意思是“我們的態(tài)度促使我們?nèi)ネ饷?/p>

10、享受溜旱冰的樂趣”。32 E 空格前的 the 表明此處應(yīng)填入名詞，空格后 that 引導(dǎo)的是同位語從句，意為“這三個(gè)組成部分總是協(xié)調(diào)統(tǒng)一的”。impression“印象”符合上下文語義，指“我們不想給你留下這種印象”,呼應(yīng)后文“它們并不是”。33H 空格在 work together 之后，故應(yīng)填入副詞。perfectly“完美地”符合語境，指這三個(gè)部分配合完美。上下文沒有表示動(dòng)作先后的描述，故 primarily“主要地，首先”不對(duì)。34 A 由 or 可知此處應(yīng)填入與 eating 并列的動(dòng)名詞，意思上表示相反的情況，因此 avoiding“避免”正確，指“吃比薩還是不吃”。35J 空格

11、前的 may 表明此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞原形，且是不及物動(dòng)詞。上一句提到情感部分可能更強(qiáng)的情形（probably will be stronger），本句指認(rèn)知部分更強(qiáng)的情況，故填入與 be stronger 近義的 prevail“獲勝”。CET6-cloze-2016-6-2Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.The robotics revolution is set to bring humans face to face with an old fearman-made creations as smart and ca

17、esting J. penaltiesK. preserving L. programmed M. proximately N. victims O. widespread閱讀參考答案26 A空格位于句末，前面是副詞 naturally 和主語 the question,因此應(yīng)填入不及物動(dòng)詞，充當(dāng)句子謂語。由 As 從句中 take on 所用的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，可知填入的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)是第三人稱單數(shù)。上文提到人們懼怕機(jī)器人缺乏道德界限(without a moral compass),空格后是具體的問題，因此本句應(yīng)表示問題自然“出現(xiàn)，引起”，故arises 符合要求。另一個(gè)第三人稱單數(shù)動(dòng)詞是 ascend

18、s“上升；攀登”，與 question 搭配不當(dāng)。27D由空格前的 the 和空格后的 of 可知此處應(yīng)填入名詞。介詞 of 后是兩個(gè)并列的名詞結(jié)構(gòu)：computational power“計(jì)算能力”和 engineering advances“工程學(xué)發(fā)展”。由此可知名詞中combination“結(jié)合體”符合語義邏輯。28 F空格位于助動(dòng)詞 will 和謂語動(dòng)詞 enable 之間，故應(yīng)填入副詞。本句表示某物能夠降低殘疾人的家庭護(hù)理費(fèi)用。副詞中符合語義邏輯的是 eventually“終于，最終”。29O空格在名詞 use 之前，故應(yīng)填入形空詞或分詞。本句的結(jié)構(gòu)是. use of driverl

19、ess cars andcountless. uses for robots,因此填入的詞與 countless“無數(shù)的”語義相關(guān)，應(yīng)指運(yùn)用得“多”或“廣”，故填入 widespread “廣泛的，普遍的”,指機(jī)器人最終將普遍運(yùn)用在無人駕駛汽車、家用和服務(wù)業(yè)等方面。30C空格處應(yīng)填入分詞或形容詞，構(gòu)成 be. to 的搭配。上文提到機(jī)器人最終會(huì)普遍運(yùn)用，本句用 but 轉(zhuǎn)折，提到 problems“問題”，接著下文列舉了具體的問題，因此空格處填入 bound“肯定的，一定的”，指“問題肯定會(huì)有”。31 H空格前的 will 表明此處應(yīng)填入及物動(dòng)詞原形，與后面的名詞 privacy“隱私”構(gòu)成搭

20、配。invade“入侵，侵犯”符合要求，指無人機(jī)可能會(huì)“侵犯”別人的隱私。32 N空格在 the 和 of 之間，故應(yīng)填入名詞。本句指陪審團(tuán)對(duì)機(jī)器的表示同情，會(huì)讓企業(yè)家受到懲罰。上文說機(jī)器人會(huì)發(fā)生碰撞，無人機(jī)侵犯隱私，機(jī)器人割草機(jī)軋壓鄰居家的貓。這些都是機(jī)器的“受害者”，故victims “受害人，犧牲品”符合語義邏輯。33 J空格前的 company-crushing 是復(fù)合形容詞，表示“令公司壓力大的，可摧毀公司的”，故應(yīng)填入與damages “賠償金”并列的名詞，形式上也是復(fù)數(shù)，作 punish 的間接賓語。故 penalties“罰金”符合要求。34 K空格前的 while 是連詞，故

21、應(yīng)填入動(dòng)名詞形式。由賓語 space“空間”,可知搭配恰當(dāng)?shù)氖莗reserving“保護(hù)，保留”，句子意為：政府在給創(chuàng)新“保留”空間時(shí)，應(yīng)該做些什么來保護(hù)人們呢？35L空格與過去分詞 built 和 sold 并列，故也應(yīng)是表被動(dòng)的過去分詞形式。本句指大型復(fù)雜系統(tǒng)(systems)應(yīng)該由廠商創(chuàng)建并銷售。符合語義邏輯、并與 systems 搭配的是 programmed“規(guī)劃”。CET6-cloze-2016-6-3Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Pursuing a career is an essential par

22、t of adolescent development. "The adolescent becomes an adult when he26_ a real job." To cognitive researchers like Piaget, adulthood meant the beginning of an27_ .Piaget argued that once adolescents enter the world of work, their newly acquired ability to form hypotheses allows them to cr

23、eate representations that are too ideal. The28_ of such ideals, without the tempering of the reality of a job or profession, rapidly leads adolescents to become29_ of the non-idealistic world and to press for reform in a characteristically adolescent way. Piaget said: "True adaptation to societ

25、ic views. Some people refer to such modification as maturity.

For this reason, community interventions and government job programs that offer summer and vacation work are not only economically _35_ but also help to stimulate the adolescent's sense of worth.A. automatically B. ben

27、eficial C. capturing D. confused E. emphasizingF. entrance G. excited H. existence I. incidentally J. intolerantK. occupation L. promises M. recession N. slightly O. undertakes閱讀參考答案26 O空格所在句子為 when 引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句，從句中缺少謂語動(dòng)詞，且根據(jù)主句中謂語動(dòng)詞 becomes可進(jìn)一步確定此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞的第三人稱單數(shù)。賓語是 a real j

28、ob, undertakes“承擔(dān);從事”符合語境，句子表示從事一份真正的工作時(shí)，他（她）才真正步人成年人的行列。而 promises“承諾”不符合語義邏輯。27K空格前面的不定冠詞 an 決定了此處應(yīng)填入一個(gè)首發(fā)音是元音的名詞。上句提到，青少年真正步入成年人行列是當(dāng)他從事一份真正的工作時(shí)，也就是說成年意味著一份職業(yè)的開始,故填入 occupation“職業(yè)”合適。28H空格前面的 the 和后面的 of 決定了此處應(yīng)填入名詞，和后面的 of such ideals 

29、;搭配。existence“存在”符合語義邏輯，表示這些理想的存在。29J空格前面是動(dòng)詞 become,可判斷此處應(yīng)填入形容詞或名詞。前面提到青少年會(huì)產(chǎn)生一些過于理想化的想法，那么對(duì)于這個(gè)不那么理想的世界應(yīng)該是“接受不了”或“難以忍受的”，故填入 intolerant“無法忍受的”。30 A空格位于動(dòng)詞 comes 之后，when 引導(dǎo)的狀語從句之前，所在句子不缺少主要成分，可判斷此處需要填入副詞。從邏輯上推斷，當(dāng)青少年改革者試圖將他的想法付諸工作實(shí)踐時(shí)，對(duì)社會(huì)的真正適應(yīng)就是自然而然的了，故 automatically“自動(dòng)地；自然而

30、然地”符合語境。31N空格所在部分為一個(gè)固定短語 take. out of context,意為“斷章取義，脫離上下文”,其中 take 的賓語應(yīng)是句子的主語 Piaget's statement,所以該過去分詞短語在句子中作狀語，且不缺少主要成分，由此可判斷此處需要填入一個(gè)副詞。本句要說明在什么情況下，皮亞杰的論斷或許太過苛刻，填入 slightly“輕微地”合適，意為“稍加孤立地看”。32E空格所在部分為 what 引導(dǎo)的主語從句，從句缺少謂語動(dòng)詞，由前面的助動(dòng)詞 

31、;was 可判斷此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式,本句的表語是 the way“那種方式”。emphasizing“強(qiáng)調(diào)”符合語境，表示他意在強(qiáng)調(diào)的是那種方式。33M空格前面的 of 決定了此處應(yīng)填入名詞或動(dòng)名詞形式。就業(yè)崗位越來越少，所以應(yīng)該是處于蕭條時(shí)期，且根據(jù)下文 difficult economic times 也可判斷出 recession“衰退”符合語義邏輯。34 D空格所在部分為“l(fā)eave sb.+賓語補(bǔ)足語”結(jié)構(gòu)，空格填入的單詞作 leave 的賓補(bǔ)，

32、且能與后面的about 搭配，可判斷此處應(yīng)填入形容詞或動(dòng)詞的分詞形式。處于這樣的經(jīng)濟(jì)困難時(shí)期，很多青少年或許對(duì)他們?cè)谏鐣?huì)中扮演的角色應(yīng)該是“迷茫”或“困惑”的，詞庫中符合這一語義的是 confused“困惑的；混亂的”。35B空格所在句子缺少謂語，由前面的助動(dòng)詞 are 可判斷此處應(yīng)填入形容詞或動(dòng)詞的分詞形式。根據(jù)主語community interventions and government job programs 和空格前的 economically, 可知填入beneficia

33、l“有益的”，表示社區(qū)干預(yù)和政府提供的就業(yè)計(jì)劃不僅使青少年在經(jīng)濟(jì)上受益。CET6-cloze-2016-12-1Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is important that scientists be seen as normal people asking and answering important questions.Good, sound science depends on 26, experiments and reasoned methodologies.

52、their students have actually achieved one of higher educations most important goals: critical thinking skills. Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no 26 gains in such mental abilities during their school years. Mr. Daniels needed to 27

After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is “very important” has fallen 28 in the last 5-6 years.Purdue now has a pilot test to assess students critical thinking skills. Yet like many college teachers around

54、 the U.S., the faculty remain 29 that their work as educators can be measured by a “l(fā)earning 30 ” such as a graduates ability to investigate and reason. However, the professors need not worry so much. The results of a recent experiment showed that professors can use 31 metrics to measure how well st

55、udents do in three key areas: critical thinking, written communication, and quantitative literacy.Despite the success of the experiment, the actual results are worrisome, and mostly 32 earlier studies. The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels o

56、n critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or quantitative literacy. And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.American universities, despite their global 33 for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world
