Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very 小题1: things are hand written. All too often, people buy a pen based only on 小题2:, and wonder why they are not satisfied 小题3: they begin to use it. However, buying a pen that you’ll enjoy is not 小题4: if you keep the following in mind.
First of all, a pen should fit comfortably in your hand and be 小题5: to use. The thickness of the pen is the most important characteristic 小题6: comfort. Having a small hand and thick fingers, you may be comfortable with a thin pen. If you have a 小题7: hand and thicker fingers, you may 小题8: a fatter pen. The length of a pen can 小题9: influence comfort. A pen that is too 小题10: can easily feel top-heavy and unstable.
Then, the writing point of the pen should 小题11: the ink to flow evenly（均匀地）while the pen remains in touch with the paper. 小题12: will make it possible for you to create a 小题13: line of writing. The point should also be sensitive enough to 小题14: ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not block the 小题15: may leave drops of ink, 小题16: you pick the pen up and put it down again.
小题17:, the pen should make a thick, dark line. Fine-line pens may 小题18: bad handwriting, but fine lines do not command 小题19: next to printed text, as, 小题20: , a signature on a printed letter. A broader line, on the other hand, gives an impression of confidence and authority（权威）.

试题分析：许多人在使用钢笔的时候不知道什么样的笔才是好笔，在购买的时候只注重其外表，二忽略了好的钢笔所需的重要特点。本文给你在选购钢笔时提出了几点建议。
小题1:C现在有了打字机，动手写的材料当然是很"少"了。
小题2:B根据上下文内容，很多人买钢笔只注重钢笔的外表，而忽略了其它重要的东西。
小题3:A许多人都很想知道为什么钢笔不好使用的原因。"once"表示"一旦......就......"。
小题4:B人们对使用的钢笔不满意，是因为他们在购买时没有选好。如果记住以下几点，购买一支你称心的钢笔当然就不会"困难"了。
小题5:B满意的钢笔当然是"容易"使用。
小题6:A粗细是决定舒适度的最重要的特征。其他选项不合语境。
小题7:D与上句中的"small hand"对应。
小题8:C如果你手大指粗，你"更愿意"使用粗笔了。其他选项动词不合语义：recommend推荐，prepare准备，demand需要
小题9:B前面讲述了钢笔的粗细决定了使用是否舒适，接下来钢笔的长度，因此用副词"also"符合语境。
小题10:C从后面的fel top-heavy and unstable可以知道使用的钢笔太"长"。
小题11:A笔尖应该是"允许"墨水均匀地流出的。其它选项不合语义。change改变，reduce降低，press挤压。
小题12:D这里用"this"指代前面的情况。
小题13:C这样的笔才可能写出"流畅"的文字。
小题14:A笔尖当然也要能"防止"墨水流淌出来。其它选项不合语境。free使自由，protect保护，remove迁移.
小题15:D不能阻挡墨水"流出"的笔尖就会产生墨点。
小题16:B用"as"符合前后分句的逻辑关系，即"当你提起笔又放下的时候"。
小题17:D该句上两段的首句连接词"First of all, Then"，所以这里应该用Finally。
小题18:C钢笔书写出的"好线条"可以"弥补"蹩脚书法的不足。show up露面；differ from与......不同；break down分解，发生故障；compensate for补偿。
小题19:A在打印稿中，纤细精致的笔划不醒目让你"注意、留意"。其他选项不合语境。
小题20:B从a signature on a printed letter可知这里是"举例"说明
点评：本文给你在选购钢笔时提出了几点建议。从本篇完型我们可以看出完形的考查趋势。突出考察学生词汇与结构，词汇与结构这部分既是整个考试的基础，也是本题考察的重点部分，在以后的复习中，要特别重视词汇与语法的复习，重视自己基础的夯实与提高，只有这样，才能以不变应万变，在高考中中立于不败之地。另外在答题注意上下文理解，同时结合逻辑推理进行答题，题目就能迎刃而解了。 |
举一反三
A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet website called a “blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying “web log”, or “personal website”. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like．
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to the people who read them．They contain links to other websites．And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others．
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year．
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products．
At thesame time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service “weblogs.com”． He said the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closed．
One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket．Rebecca Blood created the website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site．That article led to a book called The Weblog Handbook．It has been translated into four languages so far．
Miss Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about thirty thousand visitors a month．She writes about anything and everything —— politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice． And she wrote about how to prevent people from being stolen from online bank accounts．
小题1:The text is mainly written to _______．| A．introduce an Internet website called “blog” | | B．introduce a short way of saying “web log” | | C．tell readers about blogs | | D．tell readers how to write blogs |
小题2:From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except _______．| A．different ideas | B．medical advice | | C．advertisements | D．account passwords |
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?| A．Politicians don’t use blogs at all． | | B．A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs． | | C．Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls． | | D．Dave Winer closed his “weblogs.com” because of the money shortage． |
小题4:The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that _______．| A．it was created by a woman | | B．it is about the history of blogs | | C．it provides useful information and advice | | D．it has editions in atleast four different languages |

The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state 36 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 38 out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 39 that the things a possible employer is most 40 to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to 42 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 43 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 44 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 45 in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful 46 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 47 your product and why they like it.”
Try to 48 generalities(概述). Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 50 in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no 51 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 52 .
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 53 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54 is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 55 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

If you like bicycling as much as you like playing ball and can’t seem to decide between the two sports, you may want to consider cycle ball—a fun sport that adopts the key attributes from both activities and transforms it into a totally new game..
Also known as red ball, the game was invented in 1893 by German laborers who wished to play polo(马球), but could not afford horses. While the sport has not caught on in North America, it is very fashionable in Europe and even Japan.
Played in an indoor court, cycle ball is similar to soccer in many ways—the aim is to score as many goals as possible, and only the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball.
The one big difference? Use of legs is forbidden. Instead, players have to guide the ball across the court, using the front wheels of their bicycles or with their heads. In fact, if a player even touches the floor with his feet during the 14-minute game, it is considered a foul(犯规) and the opposing team gets a free kick.
While the game was initially(最初) played with normal bikes, things are a little different now. The seats of these specialized bikes are positioned over the back tire and they sport a single fixed gear, making it easier for the rider to control the constant back and forth movement required for the game. The handlebars(车把) also point straight up so that the competitors can sit upright while playing and they are about twice the weight of normal bikes, which helps with the stability.
While cycle ball may sound a little strange, it is a fast-paced sport that requires much training, skill, and, is also really fun to watch.
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?| A．The origin and development of soccer | | B．The differences between cycle ball and soccer. | | C．The most popular sports game in the world. | | D．A new and fun sports game—cycle ball |
小题2:What does the underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?| A．turned up | B．hung up | C．come about | D．become popular |
小题3:What can we know about cycle ball?| A．It is a fast-paced game played in an indoor court | | B．It was invented in 1893 by poor British people. | | C．It is another name of soccer played by many people. | | D．It is a strange game played with normal bikes. |
小题4:It can be known from the passage that __________.| A．every player who is playing cycle ball is allowed to touch the ball. | | B．the aim of playing cycle ball is to score as many goals as possible. | | C．if a player touches the floor with his feet, the opposing team will win | | D．heads are not allowed to be used to guide the ball across the court. |
小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?| A．Cycle ball is popular both in Japan and other Asian countries. | | B．The cycle ball game is popular all over the world. | | C．A cycle ball game takes 14 minutes. | | D．Cycle ball has to be played with heads, legs or the front wheels. |

“NOW I just don"t believe that. ”Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It"s simply badly researched，or the makers must think we"re fools. Recently, The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on untrue tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.
Tom Chiver, the writer of The Daily Telegraph uses his first example from the movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus（病毒）which destroys Windows the computer system the alien （外星人）spacecraft uses. “It"s a good thing that they didn"t have Norton Anti-virus，” jokes Chivers.
It"s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from the movie Star Wars, where the glowing light beams (光束）traveling through space look very impressive. But the problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子）for the light to reflect off. In reality, they"d be invisible（看不见的）, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.
Most people think that the mind—bending Matrix films are made for great viewing. But for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little bit silly. He comments “…the film is based on the idea that humans are kept alive as electricity generators (发电机). This is not just unlikely —it"s basically impossible. They would need more energy to stay alive than they would produce. It"s just like saying that you"ll power the car with batteries, and keep the batteries charged by running a generator from the wheels. ”
And finally, as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by. In the film the bad guy has “gene treatment” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible in our real world.
小题1:Which of the following does the writer agree with about the movie Independence Day?| A．It"s a science fiction movie. | | B．It"s about the alien spacecraft. | | C．It"s produced by Tom Chiver. | | D．It"s a jokey and humorous one. |
小题2: What is mainly talked about in the 4th paragraph?| A．How we can power the car with batteries. | | B．How Tom Chiver thinks of the Matrix films. | | C．How humans are kept alive as power generator. | | D．How the Matrix films are made for great viewing. |
小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?| A．The movie Star Wars is about the light beams in space. | | B．The author doesn"t take the science in movies seriously. | | C．Nowadays nobody believes in science movies any more. | | D．There is a horrible virus in the movie Independence Day. |
小题4:The underlined word “They” in the 4th paragraph refers to ______.| A．human beings | B．car wheels | | C．Matrix films | D．electricity generators |
