真題練習(xí)

　　從以上列表中選擇詞匯填空，注意形式變化。（答案見文后）

　　1. Today, we can __________ accomplish a lot of things without the help of others, which leads to the popular belief that we are becoming more and more __________. (2016/11/5，我們?cè)絹?lái)越獨(dú)立還是越來(lái)越相互依賴？）

　　今天，我們好像沒有別人的幫助能夠做成很多事情，這讓大家都相信，我們正變得越來(lái)越獨(dú)立。

　　2. For quite a long time, receiving a good education was the only way for young people to get a decent job and earn a high salary. But now, this is __________ not the case any more. Influenced by business stars like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, many young people now begin to believe that one’s success is not in proportion to the education s/he receives. The students, therefore, are not motivated enough to focus on their learning. (2017/3/4, 年輕人不喜歡學(xué)習(xí)的原因及解決辦法)

　　在很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間內(nèi)，接受好的教育是年輕人獲好工作、掙高工資的唯一路徑，但是現(xiàn)在看起來(lái)似乎不是那樣了。受比爾.蓋茨、史蒂夫.喬布斯這些商界明星的影響，很多年輕人現(xiàn)在開始相信，一個(gè)人的成功與他/她所受的教育并不成正比，因此，這些學(xué)生就沒有動(dòng)力來(lái)專心學(xué)習(xí)了。

　　3. Keeping knowledge in the Internet, however, will make us excessively __________ on electronic devices. Simply put, in case of power-off or computer break-down, we will be thrown into a terribly helpless situation. (2017/3/30, 知識(shí)存儲(chǔ)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上是好是壞？)

　　然而，把知識(shí)保存在網(wǎng)上會(huì)讓我們過(guò)于依賴電子產(chǎn)品。簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō)，萬(wàn)一遇到停電或者電腦崩潰，我們就會(huì)陷入到一個(gè)特別無(wú)助的境況。

　　4. If we as human beings stand at the top of the pyramid of ecosystem, our survival is totally __________ on the existence of other "lower" animals. (2019/2/23, 是否應(yīng)該保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物？)

　　如果我們?nèi)祟愓驹谏鷳B(tài)系統(tǒng)金字塔的頂端，我們的生存完全取決于其他“低端”動(dòng)物的存在。

　　5. It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school. The trend is not restricted to rich students who have the money to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically __________ for a period of time. (高中畢業(yè)后是否應(yīng)該有間隔年？《劍橋雅思》官方范文）

　　6. Yet for such organisations as Bill Gates Charity Foundation whose money comes from the entire world, it is far from enough only to help Americans, although it is headquartered in the U.S. As a matter of fact, Bill Gates Charity Foundation, along with other “global” charity groups, has __________ its help to all people in all countries and regions throughout the world. (2016/6/20，慈善機(jī)構(gòu)應(yīng)該幫助其他國(guó)家需要幫助的人嗎？）

　　然而，對(duì)于像比爾.蓋茨慈善基金會(huì)這樣的組織而言（它的錢來(lái)自全世界），雖然其總部在美國(guó)，但若只幫助美國(guó)人就遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠了。事實(shí)上，比爾.蓋茨慈善基金會(huì)，還有其他類似的“全球”慈善機(jī)構(gòu)，已經(jīng)將他們的幫助延伸到了世界上所有國(guó)家和地區(qū)的人們。

　　7. In conclusion, the golden days of print news are gone forever, but nothing is like the feeling of physically holding a newspaper in hands. After all, the different ways of learning about news are not __________ exclusive. Each news media outlet is effective in its own way. (2018/3/24,報(bào)紙是獲取新聞的最佳途徑嗎？）

　　總之，印刷新聞的黃金時(shí)代已經(jīng)一去不返了，但沒有什么比手拿報(bào)紙的感覺更好了。畢竟，獲知新聞的不同方式之間并不相互排斥，每一種新聞媒體都以其自己的方式產(chǎn)生作用。

　　8. Giving aid to those countries in need is always regarded as a right thing to do, not only because it can strengthen __________ friendship, but also because it will win global reputation for the country who gives away. This reputation will, in turn, translate into various forms of support, financially or politically, from other countries. A country which never gives aid to other countries may very likely be isolated from the rest of the world. (2020/7/25, 本國(guó)還有人不富裕時(shí)，政府是否應(yīng)該進(jìn)行國(guó)際援助？)

　　向那些有需要的國(guó)家提供援助總是被認(rèn)為是一件正確的事情，這不僅是因?yàn)樗�能加�?qiáng)彼此的友誼，也因?yàn)樗鼘�為捐助的�?guó)家贏得全球聲譽(yù)。這種聲譽(yù)反過(guò)來(lái)將轉(zhuǎn)化為來(lái)自其他國(guó)家的各種形式的支持，包括財(cái)政的支持或政治的支持。從來(lái)不向其他國(guó)家提供援助的國(guó)家很可能與世界其他國(guó)家隔絕。

　　9. Reading or telling stories, besides providing an opportunity for the parents to stay together with their children, is also often considered as a wonderful __________ for parents to share their life’s lesson or wisdom with their children. So the fairy tale about a fox is often not just an interesting story, but one that tells the kids about the risks of greed, and similarly, the story of George Washington cutting a cherry tree makes the kids realize the importance of honesty. (2017/7/15, 父母應(yīng)該給孩子讀書講故事嗎？)

　　讀或講故事除了給父母提供機(jī)會(huì)與孩子待在一起，還通常被認(rèn)為是父母與孩子分享人生教訓(xùn)或智慧的機(jī)會(huì)。因此，關(guān)于一只狐貍的童話故事通常不只是一個(gè)有趣的故事，而是告訴孩子們貪婪的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，同樣，喬治·華盛頓砍櫻桃樹的故事讓孩子們意識(shí)到誠(chéng)實(shí)的重要性。
