2017年高考英语完形填空真题3
How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee 16 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed 17 the airport. We were driving in the 18 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 19 , slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and 20 the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started 21 at us.
My taxi driver just 22 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 23 . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 24 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 25 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 26 . Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be 27 . Don’t take their garbage and 28 it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 29 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 30 in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you 31 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you 32 them more frequently.
So, Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 33 it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by 34 go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day! Have a marvelous, garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 35 the harvest you reap tomorrow.

【文章大意】本文叙述了作者乘坐出租车时发生的事情,通过出租车司机的一番话,阐明一个道理:记住美好的,忘却不愉快的,专注重要的;对待生活的态度决定生活的状态。
16.B下文叙述的是出租车司机的豁达和睿智:不要让那些满 腹怒气骂骂咧咧的人影响自己的心情,做自己该做的事情。作者设问“你会让……等人毁坏你一天的心情吗”以引起下文。ruin毁坏;enrich丰富;spare抽出、腾出;obtain获得。均与下文语境不合。故B项正确。
17.D head for前往。介词for表示方向。类似的短语还有leave for. 故D项正确。
18.B latter后者;right正确的;右边的;opposite相反的;对面的;free有空的;免费的;自由的;作者乘坐的出租车应该是在“正确的”车道上行驶。作者提及此事是为了衬托下文小车司机的无礼。故选择B项。
19.A一辆小车突然从路旁停车位驶出,出租车司机只得猛踩“刹车”。故选择brakes(车刹),A项正确。常理可知“门窗、座位”不合题意。
20.C knock敲;overtake超过、超越;miss错过;思念;lose遗失。出租车司机紧急刹车、向傍边猛打方向,才避免了与小车相撞。miss错过;未击中。故C项正确。
21.D从下文作者不理解出租车司机的友善举动可推断,此处应该是小车司机无礼。laugh at嘲笑;throw sth. at sb: 将某物向某人砸过去; glance at: 看一眼;yell at sb. 对某人吼叫。故选择D项。
22.B此处显示出租车司机的大度,对着对方“微笑、挥手”,丝毫没有因为小车司机有错且无礼以及差点发生的严重后果而生气,反而主动示好。wonder想知道、纳闷;guess猜测; ignore: 不理、忽略。不合语境。故选择B项。
23.A出租车司机主动示好不是因为怕事或敷衍,而是真诚地表示友善。所以作者不能理解。angry愤怒的;disappointed失望的;tired疲劳的,故选friendly,A项正确。
24.C expectation期望、期待;passenger乘客;garbage垃圾;goods货物。前一句提到“垃圾车定律”。这里及后文是对该定律的解释:许多人就像垃圾车,满腹沮丧、愤怒、失望等垃圾,垃圾满了就要倾倒。故选C项。
25.D turn up出现;push推;hold up延误;pile up堆积。垃圾堆积起来就需要找地方倾倒。pile up堆积。故D项正确。
26.C road道路;child儿童;you你;dustbin垃圾箱。这些满腹“垃圾”的人有时会将不良情绪倾泻到他们碰到的任何人身上。本题选择you,泛指任何人。故C项正确。
27.B upset难过的;happy快乐的、幸福的;pitiful可怜的;frightened害怕的。
作者说,相信他说的话,你就会“快乐一些”。故选择B项。
28.A不要接受别人倾倒的“垃圾”并转倒给其他人。spread sth. to sb.将某事传给某人;share sth. with sb.与某人分享某物。故选择 A项。
29.D surprise惊讶;pleasure乐趣;doubt疑虑;regret后悔。如果不接受别人的“垃圾”并转倒给其他人,你就不会因轻率冲动而后悔。人生苦短,每天早晨从“后悔”中醒来是难以承受之重。故选择D项。
30.B funny有趣的;important重要的;strange奇怪的;embarrassing令人尴尬的。能否成功的标志在于你能否迅速忘却不快而专注于“重要”的人生目标。故选择B 项。
31.A remember记得;forget忘记;value重视;appreciate欣赏、感激。后句说到人们更容易储存不好的记忆,所以此处说的是人们更经常“记住”的是糟糕的事情。故A项正确。
32.C enjoy享受、喜爱;exchange交换;recall记起、回忆起;imagine想象。人们更容易储存不好的记忆,自然也更容易“回想”起不好的记忆。故选择C项。
33.B inspire激励;take接受、参加;mend修补、修正;notice注意到、看到。生活中你的努力只占一层,九层取决于你的生活态度。此处take意为“接受”。故B项正确。
34.A let让;允许;consist包括、包含;make制造;dream梦想、希望。只有“忘却”不好的,才能为美好的东西在心中留下位置。let go of sth. 放弃;忘却。故A项正确。
35.D今天播下的种子“决定”明天的收获。distinguish区分、分辨;deserve应得、配得;deliver投递、分发。
