完形填空题的测试重点是对语篇的理解能力与语言综合运用能力，即注重考生综合概括、推理判断、获取信息与处理信息的能力。每小题都必须以语篇为单位理解全文，要根据上下文确定答案，避免不需要经过思考、判断就能根据或语法知识获取答案的题目。At Lifes CrossroadsLeaving high school, I had to choose a career path-medicine or business-before college started in three months, but I couldnt _1_.Both my uncles suggested I work for a month in a _2_ followed by a month in a hospital before I could know what to do. It seemed like a _3_ idea.Then near the end of two months, I began thinking about my two _4_ .The bank had offered better working conditions. The hospital was full of excitement, but the training was hard. It seemed that the choice of _5_ was going to win out.The last day of my work at the hospital, I was _6_ home when I saw a boy hit by a bus and lie in the road as the bus ran away. _7_ stopped. I knew if the boy stayed there, he would _8_ very soon. So, without help, I lifted him into my car.The next day, I went to see him. His _9_ were sitting around his bed. The doctor introduced me as “the person who saved the boys life”.Everyone got up, with _10_ smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands to her face, repeating again and again, “Son, you are an angel!”What a feeling this was, to help save the life of another person! _11_, I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I went to college for my _12_ studies.We may spend a lot of time wondering about what _13_ to take in our lives, but sometimes you dont really have to worry about your _14_ decisions. They are made for you by some quality in you-by what youre _15_ to do when necessary.( ) 1.A. explainB. decideC. practiceD. imagine( ) 2.A. teamB. laboratoryC. gardenD. company( ) 3.A. funnyB. madC. goodD. silly( ) 4.A. unclesB. hobbiesC. collegesD. experiences( ) 5.
