　　2017年職稱英語試題《理工C》完形填空專項(xiàng)練習(xí)答案

　　1.B。這里是說，60年前Kenneth Amold看到了我們今天依然能看到的現(xiàn)象。上文出現(xiàn)過saw這個動詞，still提示此處也應(yīng)填see。

　　2.C。這里考查的是介詞的用法。flying后面需要的是一個方式狀語，來修飾flyin9這個動作，只有with是合適的，表示伴隨：with the motion ofa saucer skimming on water(像飛碟飛速掠過水面般的動作)。

　　3.D。這里是說，當(dāng)時人們只可能提出“是否有來自另外一個星球的生靈造訪地球?”這個問題，所以應(yīng)該選visit，其他選項(xiàng)role，bomb，capture的意思分別為“統(tǒng)治”“轟炸”“捕獲”，都不適合此處的語境。

　　4.A。這里是說，由于這個現(xiàn)象多次被觀察到，所以美國軍方開始著手調(diào)查。四個選項(xiàng)分別代入，只有investigate(調(diào)查)符合語境;attack，shoot，confront的意義分別是“攻擊”“射擊”“面對”，都不符合文章的意思。

　　5.C。這里是說，美國軍方把這些奇怪的物體稱為UFO(不明飛行物)，這就是今天他們名字的由來。

　　6.A。這里是說，盡管軍方的調(diào)查沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)天外來客的跡象，但這并不能阻止那些篤信者。這里只能選true believers(篤信者)，而不是thinkers(思想家)，或者followers(追隨者)。runners則和文章的內(nèi)容完全無關(guān)。

　　7.B。這里考查cover up這個短語，意思是“掩蓋”。這句話的意思是：這些人認(rèn)為軍方在掩蓋事實(shí)。

　　8.D。這里是考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)such…that…(如此……以致……)。

　　9.C。所給的四個選項(xiàng)不論從語法的角度還是從語義的角度考慮都可以填入到這個空格里。但下面的句子給了提示，它講到在宗教不那么具有影響力的情況下人們會怎么想;回到本句，它講的是在過去也就是宗教的影響比較大的情況下人們當(dāng)然會從宗教的角度來解釋這個現(xiàn)象。

　　10.A。這里是說，在宗教不那么盛行，而科幻又變得流行的情況下，人們不再把這些看作是上帝的蹤跡，而認(rèn)為它們是來自其他星球的來訪者。四個選項(xiàng)只有planets(星球)符合語境。

　　11.D。注意這個War是大寫的，所以不會填入一個像cool，nuclear這樣的修飾性的詞匯，而應(yīng)該是一個專用的名稱。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束后，世界進(jìn)入所謂的“冷戰(zhàn)”(the ColdWar)時期。這是個常識性問題。

　　12.B。這里考查固定短語look t0…for help(向……求助)。

　　13.D。這里是說，現(xiàn)代人要向那些擁有先進(jìn)技術(shù)的外星人求助，顯然答案應(yīng)為advanced(先進(jìn)的，高級的)。

　　14.C。這里是說，宇宙浩瀚，因此假設(shè)在宇宙的其他地方存在生命是合理的。在四個選項(xiàng)中，只有reasonable(合理的)的意義是肯定的，其他三個詞的意義都是否定的。

　　15.A。這里考查的是習(xí)慣搭配perform the experiment(做實(shí)驗(yàn))。這句話的意思是：有些人報告說他們曾被外星人抓獲，并讓他們在自己身上做了試驗(yàn)。
