2013英语四级考试提前练：完形填空(7)
2004年6月Historians tend to tell the same joke when they are describing history education in America. It’s the one 61 the teacher standing in the schoolroom door 62 goodbye to students for the summer and calling 63 them, “By the way, we won World War II.”
The problem with the joke, of course, is that it’s 64 funny. The recent surveys on 65 illiteracy (无知) are beginning to numb (令人震惊): nearly one third of American 17?year?olds cannot even 66 which countries the United States 67 against in that war. One third have no 68 when the Declaration of Independence was 69. One third thought Columbus reached the New World after 1750. Two thirds cannot correctly 70 the Civil War between 1850 and 1900. 71 when they get the answers right, some are 72 guessing.
Unlike math or science, ignorance of history cannot be 73 connected to loss of international 74. But it does affect our future 75 a democratic nation and as individuals.
The 76 news is that there is growing agreement 77 what is wrong with the 78 of history and what needs to be 79 to fix it. The steps are tentative (尝试性) 80 yet to be felt in most classrooms.

【答案】：
61.A62.B63.B64.D65.A
66.C67.C68.D69.B70.B
71.A72.B73.D74.C75. D
76.D77.C78.C79.A80.B.
【答案解析】：
61.A it指代的是历史学家们所说的笑话，接下来的便是笑话的内容。引出内容的介词是about，故选A。
62.B 此题考查词汇和上下文理解：老师站在校门口对学生挥别，所以，此处选waving(挥手)，而不能选shaking(握手)或nodding(点头)，speaking后面一般不接宾语。
63.B 此题考查词组。四个选项分别和call组成四个词组：call in(来访)，call after(追喊)， call for(号召、提倡)，call up(提出、召唤)。
64.D 从下文看出，现在的美国年轻人对于本国的历史十分无知。由此推断，这个笑话是一点儿也不好笑的。因此，选D。
65.A 文章以历史学家讲的一个笑话开头，这里的调查则应该是针对历史的无知程度展开的。故选A historical。
66.C 此题与67题一起分析。首先来看67题，这个空缺在定语从句which countries the United Statesagainst in that war中充当谓语，四个选项中，不难得出，fought against这个固定搭配表示“与……战斗”是正确答案。再回到66题，此题考查的是考生的词汇：distinguish(区分、辨认)，acknowledge(承认)，“identify”(确认、认出)，convey(传达)，根据意思，这里应选择C identify。
67.C 参照66题。
