點(diǎn)評(píng) 由于完形填空的文章是一個(gè)意義相關(guān)聯(lián)的語篇,圍繞一個(gè)話題論述,因此在行文中詞語的重復(fù)、替代、復(fù)現(xiàn)和同現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象是不可避免的.根據(jù)這個(gè)原則,某一個(gè)空格所對(duì)應(yīng)的答案很可能就是在上下文中復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)的相關(guān)詞,考生可以根據(jù)這些詞之間的有機(jī)聯(lián)系來確定答案.所以,解題時(shí)應(yīng)聯(lián)系上下文尋找相關(guān)線索,如某一個(gè)詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞和概括詞等.但由于我們?cè)谧鲱}時(shí)不可能總是重復(fù)地閱讀文章,因此,在做完形填空時(shí)要培養(yǎng)一種捕捉并記憶相關(guān)信息的能力.

3.Anthony Horowitz was miserable (痛苦的) as a child.He was,as he puts it,"not very bright"and couldn't win the attention of his very wealthy parents,who preferred his"clever"older brother.At age 8,Horowitz was sent away to an abusive (虐待的) boarding school in his native England,even though he screamed and pleaded (懇求) with his parents year after year not to send him."The thought was,‘It'll be good for him',"Horowitz recalls (回憶).
It was not.Horowitz did badly in his studies,had few friends and was bullied (欺負(fù)) for five years."My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me,"he said."I wasn't even smart enough to rebel (反抗).The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write.When I was 10years old,I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer."
Now,at 55,Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors.His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5million copies,and the eighth book featuring the young spy,Crocodile Tears,came out this month.
The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider,an agent for the British intelligence agency MI6.
Horowitz said he doesn't try to write for kids; it just comes out that way."I have a feeling it's to do with purity and simplicity.I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room,the character in the room,and get on with the action,"he said.
That style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because,he says,writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups:In both cases,it's all about entertaining people with a good story.
Now,Horowitz couldn't be happier with his life.He sums up his success:"…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself.I do believe it completely."

56.The text is mainly aboutC.
A.Horowitz's popular book-Alex Rider
B.Horowitz's miserable childhood
C.Horowitz,a successful children's writer

57.In his childhood,Anthony HorowitzC.
A.was more intelligent than his brother
B.was paid more attention by his parents
C.led a miserable why he was sent to the boarding school
D.led a miserable life because of poverty
58.In the boarding school,Horowitz's teachersD.
A.showed great concern for him
B.often abused and bullied him
C.taught him how to write stories
D.thought little of his ability
59.Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz?C
A.He was the beloved child of his family.
B.He benefited a lot from boarding school.
C.He emphasizes the plot rather than character in stories.
D.Although he is successful,he isn't very happy.
60.What advice does Horowitz have for readers?A
A.Confidence is the key to success.
B.Hardship teaches valuable lessons.
C.Interest is the best teacher.
D.Diligence is the parent of success.
