问题 完形填空

第二节 语法填空(共10小题,每题2分,共20分)

仔细阅读下面短文,短文中有10个空格。请按照语境以及括号里的具体要求完成语法填空、词形变化等。答案填写在答题卡标号为16—25的对应位置。

The holiday’s upon us. After months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, ‘Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and 16        media that offer a lot more 17       (colour) programs. Books are history!”

But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading and reading as widely as possible.

One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection 18       words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article 19        it is from the TV or the Internet.

But an even more important point is 20        books give you something that modern media simply can not: The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.

Though “easy” may be welcome, 21       (luck) it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品) for a book.

But perhaps the best single reason is that simply 22       (choose) what you read and doing it by yourself 23        (mean) that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, 24        while you are reading, you’ll find that what once 25        (seem) like a duty is now a pleasure.

答案

16. other    17. colourful      18. of      19. than      20. that  

21. unluckily   22. choosing      23. means   24. but       25. seemed

OTD是NASA(美国国家航空航天局)的一个检测来自地球低轨道的闪电的项目。它不仅是一个科学实验,还是一个管理实验。这个实验有了失败的经历,所以拖延了时间。现在要在七个月内完成任务。实现项目目标非常困难,但是,大家非常乐观,因为高级管理层给团队自主决策权,快速决策权自然也给了OTD的首席工程师佛瑞德•桑德尔(一个从来不知道放弃的人,具有坚持不懈、精力充沛和紧迫感等可贵品质的人)。考虑到问题的复杂性,佛瑞德首先对任务进行了分解。制定了项目时间表。佛瑞德和团队其他成员讨论如何才能缩短修复时间,使OTD回到原进度。佛瑞德想出了一个非常冒险的主意:他自己加固支架。他有知识、技术和工具;他所需要的只是符合质量要求的飞行硬件。第一次测试失败后,佛瑞德画出了支架的硬件改动草图。他建议,用金属面板加固现有的支架。由于能给支架必要的支撑,因而是可行的。当天下午,佛瑞德就采取了行动。第二天,测试继续进行,硬件通过振动测试。OTD在九个月内交付了,比原定目标多两个月,但是我们在它最终被集成到宇宙飞船之前完成。OTD至今已运行了三年半,建立了世界上首个全球闪电数据库,并改变了科学家们对闪电速度和暴风雨演变的理解。

考虑到问题的复杂性,佛瑞德首先对任务进行了分解,制定了项目时间表。这个过程发生在项目生命周期的()阶段。

A、项目计划的制订

B、项目启动

C、项目可行性分析

D、项目监督和控制
