Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought   1   him as my “Valentine man”.
My first recollection of the   2   he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was   3   “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to   4   my birthstone, a ruby (紅寶石). There is   5   difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember   6   that ring with pride that all the cards in the world   7   not surpass (超越).
  8   I grew older, the gifts gave   9   to heart-shaped boxes filled with my   10__   chocolate and always included a   11   card signed “Love, Dad”.

Those things never   19  , nor does the memory of a man who never   20   being my Valentine.

12. D  work out設計出, 做出;pick out 挑選; keep out 使在外; carry out貫徹, 執行。本句句意為:中國在實施著許多研究,目的是想瞭解更多的北方氣候和環境的變化。故選D。
13. B  根據第12題句意,可知。
14. B  such as表示列舉, for example = for instance舉例說明,such that如此。
15. A  have something to do with 與......有關。
16. C  選項A、D不合句意;B為不及物動詞;故選C。
17. C  in greater depth意為在更深層處,greater強調與此之前的含蓄比較。
18. A  include強調包含有,而contain表示內容,不用進行時,including為介詞。
19. D  of與抽象名詞連用相當於該名詞的形容詞,即of great support = very supportable。

2010高考英語最新完形填空精講精練(13)
(一)
The purpose of a letter of application(求職信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state ___1___ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have ___2___. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without ___3___ out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in ___4___ that the things a possible employer is most ___5___ to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. ___6___ the first few sentences fail to ___7___ the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be ___8___ at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not ___9___ your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your ___10___ in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful ___11___ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives ___12___ your product and why they like it. ”
Try to ___13___ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___14___. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ___15___ in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no ___16___ has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is ___17___.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___18___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.
