45.C【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文主要讲述了美国的消防员中有780,000志愿者，他们保护着美国三分之人口的生命财产安全。志愿消防员希望国会能通过对志愿消防员减税的法案。即使法案通不过，志愿消防员也仍然会做好自己的本职工作。【26题详解】考查动词辨析。A.taught教；

B.amusing有趣的；

C.pleasing令人愉快的；

D.worrying令人担忧的。句意：令人惊讶的是，有些时候他们还需要自己买装备。surprising用来说明在采购设备时的资金来源问题，以此引起社会的关注。故A选项切题。【28题详解】考查动词辨析。A.appreciate欣赏；

B.know知道，了解；

C.prove证明是；

D.analyze分析。句意：我知道这一点，因为我在科罗拉多州的杜兰戈是一名志愿消防员。作者本身就是一名消防员，所以对这件事情很了解。故B选项切题。【29题详解】考查名词辨析。wildfires野火；

B.wars战争

；

C.lightning闪电；

D.embarrassments尴尬。句意：我在2014年回应了超过50个电话，从野火到车祸的每件事情。作者是消防员，处理的事情都是与火有关的事情，故A选项切题。【30题详解】考查名词辨析。A.company公司；

B.department部门；

C.team团队；

D.family家庭。句意：我花了将近1000美元买我的部门没有提供的可选装备。由上文的mostly-orall-volunteerfiredepartments可知，B选项切题。【31题详解】考查名词辨析。A.manner方式；

B.life生活；

C.project工程；

D.job工作。作者买的高质量的手电筒，刀子和更好的手套，使得自己的工作变得容易。故D选项切题。【32题详解】考查名词辨析。A.guest客人；B.politician政治家；C.bill议案，账单；D.word单词。句意：昨天，国会提出了一项法案。由下文的inCongress可以判断出一项议案被提出。故C选项切题。【33题详解】考查形容词辨析。A.wise明智的；B.proud自豪的；C.same相同的；D.first第一。句意：昨天，国会提出了一项法案，该法案将为那些自愿成为现场急救员的人给予大幅度的税收减免。这里的firstresponders指的是现场急救员。故D选项切题。【34题详解】考查连词辨析。A.so所以；B.when当---时候；C.though然而，尽管；D.because因为。句意：然而，减税那将是不错的。故选C选项切题。【35题详解】考查动词辨析。A.encourage鼓励；B.persuade说服；C.invite邀请；D.allow允许。句意：这将鼓励更多的人帮助其他人。上文已经提到减税会减轻志愿消防员的负担，所以会鼓舞更多的人来从事这个行业。故A选项切题。【36题详解】考查动词辨析。A.neglect忽略；B.need需要；C.predict预测；D.admit承认。句意：我们需要那个。由becauseitwilleasethefinancialburdenonvolunteersandacknowledgetheirtimecommitment因为这将减轻志愿者的经济负担并承认他们的时间付出。可知，B选项切题。【37题详解】考查形容词辨析。A.dark黑暗的；B.rural农村的；C.dirty脏的；D.cold冷的。句意：在农村地区，人口密度低需要消防服务相对来说稀少。由下文的populationdensityislow可以判断出是在农村地区。故B选项切题。【38题详解】考查动词短语辨析。A.endup以.结束；B.standout突出，杰出；C.workout制定出，工作出；D.makesense有意义。句意：这对全天候的职业消防队员来说毫无意义。由小题12小题可知。故D选型切题。【39题详解】考查副词辨析。A.Recently最近；B.Quickly迅速地；C.Instead相反，代替；D.Besides另外。句意：相反，自愿者来填补这个空白。故C选项切题。【40题详解】考查名词辨析。A.time时间；B.hole洞，孔；C.form

表格；D.gap间隙。句意：相反，自愿者来填补这个空白。由上文可知，农村人口少，所以安排全职消防员是无意义的，但又不能不安排消防员。而志愿消防员却能填补这个空隙。故D选项切题。【41题详解】考查形容词辨析。A.busiest最忙的；B.hottest最热的；C.worst最差的；D.shortest最短的。句意：我们准备把日常生活放在一边，帮助别人度过人生中最糟糕的一天。故C选项切题。【42题详解】考查动词辨析。A.matter重要;

B.pass通过;

C.exist存在;

D.happen发生。句意：我们可能从未见过面，也可能永远不会再见面，但在危机中这并不重要。由小题16的句意可知，志愿消防员时刻准备着帮助处在危险中的人们，彼此认不认识，并不重要，重要的是能帮助人们脱离险境。故A选项切题。【43题详解】考查名词辨析。A.Satisfaction满意;

B.Pay付款;

C.Strength力量;

D.Education教育。句意：为了骄傲，不是为了报酬。因为是志愿消防员，所以作者说了这样一句话。故B选项切题。【44题详解】考查名词辨析。A.communities社区;

B.neighbors邻居;

C.children孩子

D.patients病人。句意：我们是自愿的，因为我们的社区需要我们。根据句意，故A选项切题。【45题详解】考查名词辨析。A.disappointment失望;

B.trouble麻烦;

C.hesitation犹豫;

D.anxiety焦虑。句意：如果没有减税，当警报响起时，我们会毫不犹豫地穿上我们的装备。withoutanyhesitation毫不犹豫,表明了作者做好本职工作的态度和决心。故C选项切题。【点睛】了解生活常识，确定相关知识也是解决完形填空的技巧之一，因为我们所阅读的短文都来源于生活，所以对一些基本生活知识的掌握有利于我们对于选项的准确判断。小题12,16,19的判断需要我们结合生活知识来判断。短文中说到了人口少，所以农村的人口比城市的少，故12小题B选项切题。无论谁或者谁的财产遭到大火的毁灭，这天都是他们生活中最糟糕的一天，故16小题A选项切题。消防员们是为人民服务的，无论是邻居，孩子，还是病人都是生活在社区，故19小题A选项切题。所以同学们要注意观察生活，将学习与生活结合在一起。三、阅读理解22.MultitaskingPeoplewhomultitaskallthetimemaybetheworstatdoingtwothingsatonce,anewresearchsuggests.Thefindings,basedonperformancesandself-evaluationbyabout275collegestudents,indicatethatmanypeoplemultitasknotoutofadesiretoincreaseproductivity,butbecausetheyareeasilydistracted(分心)andcan’tfocusononeactivity.And“thosepeopleturnouttobetheworstathandlingdifferentthings,”saidDavidSanbonmatsu,apsychologistattheUniversityofUtah.Sanbonmatsuandhiscolleaguesgavethestudentsasetoftestsandaskedthemtoreporthowoftentheymultitasked,howgoodtheythoughttheywereatit,andhowsensation-seeking(寻求刺激)orimperative(冲动)theywere.Theythenevaluatedtheparticipants’multitaskingabilitywithatrickymentaltaskthatrequiredthestudentstodosimplemathematicalcalculationswhilerememberingasetofletters.Notsurprisingly,thescientistssaid,mostpeoplethoughttheywerebetterthanaverageatmultitasking,andthosewhothoughttheywerebetteratitweremorelikelytoreportusingacellphonewhiledrivingorviewingmultiplekindsofmediaatonce.Butthosewhofrequentlydealwithmanythingsatthesametimewerefoundtoperformtheworstattheactualmultitaskingtest.Theyalsoweremorelikelytoadmittosensation-seekingandimpulsivebehavior,whichconnectswithhoweasilypeoplegetboredanddistracted.“Peoplemultitasknotbecauseit’sgoingtoleadtogreaterproductivity,butbecausethey’redistractible,andtheygetsuckedintothingsthatarenotasimportant.”Sanbonmatsusaid.AdamGazzaley,aresearcherattheUniversityofCalifornia,SanFrancisco,whowasnotamemberoftheresearchgroup,saidonelimitationofthestudywasthatitcouldn’tfindoutwhetherpeoplewhostartoutlessfocusedtendtowardmultitaskingorwhetherpeople’srecognizingandunderstandingabilitieschangeasaresultofmultitasking.Thefindingsdosuggest,however,whythesensation-seekerwhomultitaskthemostmayenjoyriskydistracteddriving.“Peoplewhoaremultitaskingaregenerallylesssensitivetoriskysituations.”saidPaulAtchley,anotherresearchernotinthegroup.“Thismaypartlyexplainwhypeoplegoinforthesesituationseventhoughthey’redangerous.”46.
