I   38   . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose   39  that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.

【點(diǎn)評】

2011年高考英語浙江卷完形填空部分原文節(jié)選于讀者文摘（Reader'sDigest)澳大利亞版，考題略有刪節(jié)，并替換掉原文中超過高考范圍的詞匯，采取同義詞替換的手段使原文表述通暢。所選文章延續(xù)歷年出題模式，以記敘文為題材，選取作者在生命中不平凡的階段受到陌生人幫助的事實(shí)，歌頌和贊揚(yáng)人間真情和助人的美德。

【解析】

21題，屬于上文提示法，首句中出現(xiàn)ill，此選項(xiàng)應(yīng)是ill的同義表達(dá)，故選D.sickness。

　　22題，屬于上文提示法，上句出現(xiàn)病情可以manageable，所以作者應(yīng)該是享受那段過去的美好時光，故選B.enjoyed。此選項(xiàng)在2009年全國一卷完形填空部分第41題出現(xiàn)過，且也為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　23題，屬于下文解釋法，下文出現(xiàn)發(fā)生改變，結(jié)合首句作者生病，可推出作者表達(dá)的是不幸的情緒，故選C.unfortunately。此選項(xiàng)為高考完形填空中的的高頻選項(xiàng)。

　　24題，屬于轉(zhuǎn)折對比法，上文出現(xiàn)yearsago和changed，因此推出此題應(yīng)回歸現(xiàn)實(shí)，故選A.now。此選項(xiàng)在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37題出現(xiàn)過，且也為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　25題，屬于固定搭配法，addupto總計(jì)，makeupfor彌補(bǔ)，補(bǔ)償，getridof處理，擺脫，takeadvantageof利用，此題應(yīng)選B.makeupfor。此選項(xiàng)考生不應(yīng)陌生，2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21題D選項(xiàng)曾出現(xiàn)過此詞，可見背歷年考題中的選項(xiàng)部分的重要性。

　　26題，屬于邏輯關(guān)系法，此法多用于句子與句子之間，解決連詞的問題。此題因?yàn)樽髡呦挛缧枰X，所以受到限制。故選B.As。

　　27題，屬于上文解釋法，第三段首句提到作者打算做某事，但由于病情，下午需要睡覺，所以選擇受限，故選C.choices。

　　28題，屬于前后照應(yīng)法，上文提到過幾年之前唱歌的事實(shí)，此處再次出現(xiàn)要去唱歌，故選D.goingback。

　　29題，屬于中文代入法，全家都是音樂家，所以走進(jìn)音像店會被認(rèn)出，故選A.recognized。

　　30題，屬于AandB法，這是并列結(jié)構(gòu)，要求前后詞性與詞義要相似，幾乎在每年的高考完形中都會考查這個知識點(diǎn)。本題and之前說東西很貴，之后理應(yīng)推出沒有足夠的錢，故選A.money。

　　31題，屬于反義多一對，即四個選項(xiàng)中有一組反義詞，答案多在這組反義詞中出現(xiàn)。此題C和D構(gòu)成反義結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)文章信息，故選D.often。

　　32題，屬于中文代入法，實(shí)際上一張光盤里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用，故選A.actually。

　　33題，屬于上文提示法，上文中作者有提到過想再次唱歌的這個想法，故選C.idea。

　　34題，屬于同義辨析法，此考查點(diǎn)多在四級考試完形填空部分中出現(xiàn)，在2008年高考英語浙江卷第26題也曾考查過，當(dāng)年的難度系數(shù)約為0.32。此題中的B.view強(qiáng)調(diào)的是眺望風(fēng)景，C.look強(qiáng)調(diào)看的眼神，D.sight強(qiáng)調(diào)視力，本文店主深深地看了作者，屬于眼神之間的交流，故選C.look。

　　35題，屬于固定搭配法，店主帶領(lǐng)作者穿過擁擠的店鋪，從空間穿過，故選D.through。

　　36題，屬于感情色彩法，此法多用于解決形容詞或副詞。下文出現(xiàn)treasure，因此可以推出店主對自己的寶物愛不釋手，心愛地觸摸，故選B.lovingly。

　　37題，屬于固定搭配法，takeyourpick，美國俚語，隨你挑選的意思，故選A.pick。

　　38題，屬于語法識別法，近幾年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化語法點(diǎn)考查，一般只會涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本應(yīng)該做的事情而沒有做，放在原文中過于牽強(qiáng)，而本題是作者受到店主的感激，非常感動，本可以哭但沒有哭，故選D.couldhavecried。

　　39題，屬于尋找重復(fù)法，31題與32題之前曾出現(xiàn)onlythreetofoursongs...canuse，對應(yīng)...couldsing,故選B.theones。

　　40題，屬于主旨概況法，即所選選項(xiàng)要與原文中心相一致。本文詳細(xì)描述店主對作者的幫助，店主的善舉感動作者，故選C.kindness。

（2011·浙江卷）A

One evening in February 2007 . a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales . She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later,she watched  the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.

     Ceely's  near miss  made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(導(dǎo)航儀).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily . Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing ."I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train ,"she told the BBC.

   W ho is to blame here ? Rick Stevenson ,who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,

      but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small  problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.

     The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s  not clear why he only focuses digital technology,while  there may be a number of other possible  causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.

It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an accout of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors .

The game between humans and their smart devices  is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be  way a wiser use of technology.   

If there is such a way, it should involve more than just  an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands  of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long .

 41 .What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?           

 A. She was not familiar with the road.           

 B. It was dark and raining heavily then.   

C. The railway works failed to give the signal.

D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing

   42.The phrase” near miss” (paragraph 2 ) can best be replaced by _______.             

A. close bit                    B. heavy loss             C.narrow escape         D. big mistake      

  43.Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?             

A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.            

B. Digital technology often falls short of out expectation.            

C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.             

D. GPS error is not the only cause for Celery’s accident. 

44.In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is________.

A. one-sided     B. reasonable      C.puzzling      D.well-based

45.What is the real concern of the writer of this article?

A.The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.

B.The relationship between humans and technology

C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.           

D. The human unawareness  of technical problems.

（2011·浙江卷）C

   In the more and more competitive service industry , it is no longer enough to promise customrr satisfaction. Today , customer “delighi” is what companies are trying to achieve in or order to keep and increase market share.

It is accepted in the marketing industry , and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people : those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal

     New llenges for customer care have come when peoplecan obtain  goods and services through  telephone call centers and the Intemet. For example , many companies now have to invest(投資)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”—caused by delays in answering calls ,being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.

“Many people do not like talking to machines ,”says Dr . Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketng at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them .The aim is to make the customet feel they know you and that you can trest— the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”

  Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering  (saying that a repair will be camed out within five hours ,but getting it done within two );replacing a faulty product immediately : throwing in a gift voucher(購物禮卷)as an unexpected “thank you” to regntlar customers ;and always returning calls ,even when they are complaints.

  Aiming for customer delight is all very well , but if services do not reach the high level promised , disappointment or worse will be the result . This can be eased by offering an aplogy and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example,“I know how you must feel”) , and possible solutions (replacement , compensation or whatever faimess suggests best meets the case).

           Airlines face some of the tourhest challenges over customer care . Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather ,unclaimed luggage and technieal problems .

   For British Airways staff , a winning telephone style is considercd vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times . They are trained to answer quickly ,with their name , job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has investod heavily in information technology to make sure that infomation is available instantly on scren.

     British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are

 

taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.

   Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as "we do as we please”. On the other  hand , the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of  disappointment.

50. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that       .

A.  complaining customers are hard to satisfy

B.  unsatisfied customers receive better service

C.  Satisfied customers catch more attention

D.  well-treated customers promote business

51. The writer mentions “phone rage”(Paragraph 3) to show that        .

A. customers often use phones to express their anger

B. people still prefer to buy goods online

C. customer care becomes more attention

D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services 

52.  What does the writer recommend to create delight?

A. Calling customers regularly    B. Giving a “thank you” note.

C. Delivering a quicker service    D. Promising more gifts.

53. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph6), what would he  probably say?

A.“I know how upset you must be.”   B.“I appreciate your understanding.”

C. “I’m sorry for the delay.”          D.“I know it’s our fault.”

54. Customer delight is important for airlines because      .

A. their telephone style remains anchanged

B. they are more likely to meet with complaints

C. the services cost them a lot of money

D. the policies can be applied to their staff

55. Which of the following is conveyed in this article?

A. Face-to-face service creatcs comfortable feelings among customers.

B. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.

C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.

D. Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks.
