完形填空题不必练——它是用来考试的而非用来提高英语水平的！文/江节明 高三英语怎样复习才能高效？我通过将近30年的高考命题研究和高三英语教学实践，终于搞清楚了一个不被大家所注意的奥秘或者说一开始不易被大家所接受的观点：完形填空题不必练，只需要练习阅读就行！你（或你让你的孩子）对照着以下的文章做做实验看看，你就会发现：我的发现是多么的具有说服力！做完形填空非常费时，一篇文章做完形填空需要18分钟，而18分钟却能阅读4篇文章。看看哪个高效？显然，做完形填空是“事倍功半”，而做阅读理解确实“事半功倍”！你的阅读能力上去了，词汇运用能力上去了，完形填空自然就能做好，根本就不必练！按照我说的方法去学，你会学得很轻松，成绩提高又很快。所以说，方法很重要。 我发现，在全国许多地方，教师教不得法，学生学不得法，出现了“费时多，收效少”的局面。为提高高三复习效果，我们作为教师应该好好研究高考命题的本质和真正意图，摸索怎么样复习才能够真正取得好的效果。完形填空不用练——这只是其中的一个措施！还有其他题型，应该也有很好的复习方法——这就需要我们探索。
1 Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column.She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems——mostly problems with communication. Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Plus,” which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.

It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard (无意中听到) our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.” 21. From the passage, we understand that ____________. A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties B. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers C. the author received the same education as most people during his childhood D. the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting 22. According to the author,______________. A. giving means you will have less money B. the excitement of giving can bring you money C. you don’t have to be rich in order to give D. when you give away money, you will be rich 23. The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper ______________. A. in writing B. in person C. in the window display D. about the neighborhood 24. When the author needed a post-office box, _______________. A. he had to put his name on a waiting list B. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation C. many people had applied for post-office boxes before him D. he asked the postmaster to make one for him 25.

3 By the time she got the box open, Nancy was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. Eagerly she removed the cotton surrounding the small object inside the box, and held it up to the light. It glittered and sparkled （闪闪发光）—made alive by the bright sunlight pouring through the window. Nancy turned the object slowly in her hands, first this way and then that way. It continued to sparkle and shine as if it had a light of its own. She cried out in delight. Her diamond engagement ring had been found and returned to her, just as the woman on the phone had promised. For two weeks, Nancy almost collapsed after losing the ring on the subway. She had placed ads in the newspapers and on the radio, offering a reward for the return of the ring. And, she had almost given up hope when the phone call came. A kind, elderly female voice informed her that she had found the ring between seat cushions （坐垫）. She had called, she said, to make sure of the exact address and had promised to return the ring by insured mail the next day. And then she had added sweetly: “There's no need to send a reward either. I lost my engagement ring once when I was young, and some kind, unknown person returned it to me the next day. I feel I'm only paying back an old debt of thanks.” Nancy had thanked the finder profusely and asked her name, but the other woman had said that it wasn't important. And, now, here was the ring once again in her hand. She put it back on her finger and breathed a huge sigh of relief. 31．The word “object” in the first and second paragraphs refers to the________.
