2014高考英语突破完形填空训练（12）及答案 AWords：325难度系数：建议用时：8分钟Central Park covers more than three hundred and forty hectares.It was the first public park built in the United States.In 1858，a design competition was held to find the best idea for planning the huge area in the center of New York City.The winners were two landscape designers，American Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux from Britain.It was not easy to create this park.It may look like a natural environment of lakes and woodlands，but it was entirely built by human labor.Workers moved millions of cubic meters of stone and earth to clear the area.They brought in more than fourteen thousand cubic meters of fertile soil from New Jersey to make it possible to grow trees and other plants.It took fifteen years to complete the project.Central Park was a huge success and helped create a movement across the United States for creating public gardens.Today，the park is managed by the Central Park Conservancy under an agreement with New York City.The Conservancy raises about eighty­five percent of the parks twenty­seven million dollars yearly budget.Here are a few facts that help show just how big and busy Central Park is.It contains seven kilometers of paths for horseback riding and about 93 kilometers of walking paths.When you get tired from all that walking，there are more than 9,000 benches where you can sit down.There are 21 playgrounds for children as well as areas to play basketball，baseball，football and even chess.There is also a zoo.And，every summer，visitors can watch plays by William Shakespeare in an outdoor theater.About twenty­five million people visit Central Park each year to enjoy its many sights and activities.The park is also important for natural life.It contains more than twenty­six thousand trees.And hundreds of kinds of birds have been sighted in the park which serves as a stopping area for birds as they fly to other places.【解题导语】美国中央公园的建设耗时十五年，在一片不毛之地上用人力将石块和土方堆积而成。公园设施齐全，风景优美，生物资源丰富。中央公园被称为美国园林建筑的奇迹。1What is mainly talked about in the passage?AThe design competition that took place in 1858.BHow workers built Central Park.CCentral Park attracts millions of visitors every year.DThe first public park in the United States.解析：选D。考查主旨大意。综观全文可知，本文主要介绍的是美国第一个公园中央公园。2Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?ANew York City provides twenty­seven million dollars for Central Park every year.BThere is a distance of about ninety­three kilometers for tourists to travel on foot in Central Park.CMore than nine thousand benches are provided for travelers to sit on for a rest.DMigrating birds stay in Central Park and then go on with their journey.解析：选A。考查细节理解。文章第六段说“The Conservancy raises about eighty­five percent of the parks twenty­seven million dollars yearly budget”，即公园管理处负责筹集85%的预算，纽约市政府只负责剩下的15%的资金，因此A项的表述错误。3We can infer from the passage that _.Athe building of Central Park is a miracleBthe soil used to be fertile before Central Park was builtClarge quantities of stone was brought in from New Jersey to build Central ParkDpeople can enjoy plays by William Shakespeare in an outdoor theater throughout the year.解析：选A。考查推理判断。根据第三、四、五段的描述可以推知，中央公园的建设是一个奇迹。4Visitors can enjoy doing the following except _ in Central Park.Aplaying basketballBvisiting animalsCriding horses Dswimming解析：选D。考查细节理解。文章第八段介绍了游客在中央公园可以进行的项目，并未提及可以游泳。因此答案选D。*结束完形填空When I smoked with my family, I would feel so  26   and good that nothing else in the world seemed so  27  .
