考点43 完形填空议论文
高考频度：★★☆☆☆

议论文是一种通过剖析事物或论述事理来提出主张或发表见解的文体。议论文分为两种，一种是夹叙夹议型，另一种是纯议论型。
议论文是一种剖析事理、论述事物、发表见解或提出主张的说理性文章。议论文的目的不仅是客观地解释事物，还力图说服读者相信并接受某一观点。议论文是高考完形填空题中较难的一种体裁，它一般由三个要素组成：论点、论据和结论。做好这类题的关键在于要抓住作者的论点。
议论文中对于论点的提出通常有三种形式：
1. 开门见山，直接提出论点
在有些议论文中作者开头就提出论点，通过论证，最后提出自己的看法，或提出另一个话题供大家讨论。一般来说，这种形式的议论文作者态度明确，我们也能很容易地把握作者对某一件事的看法。
2. 导入式提出论点
在有些议论文中，作者并不是直接提出自己的观点，而是通过对某一现象的论述来赞扬或批评某一事物，进而提出自己的观点，然后再用具体的论据去证明自己的观点。
3. 水到渠成式得出结论
在有些议论文中作者开头只是列举一系列生活中的现象，而不是表明自己的观点，通过对具体现象的分析，最后自然得出结论，而此结论就是文章的论点。
议论文形式的完形填空不像记叙文形式的完形填空那么有情景。因此，我们对整个文章的把握相对来说也难得多。解答这类题要遵循下列原则：
1. 从首尾句入手，抓住中心
议论文的写作思路一般为：提出问题→分析问题→解决问题。因此，文章的第一、二句话通常为文章的主题句，而文章的结尾句常为文章的结论。由此可见，我们必须充分利用文章的首尾句，推测出文章的中心，从而理解全文。
2. 紧扣信息词，把握作者观点
考生要弄清文章的行文逻辑，如转折关系、因果关系、递进关系、对比关系、让步关系、指代关系等。有时文章的第一、二段并不是作者的观点，而是对某个事物的介绍或描述，然后用信息词，如but，however，yet等将自己的观点引出，因此，阅读时一定要特别留意这些信息词。
3. 从语境入手，确定逻辑关系
句与句之间总要反映出因果、假设、条件、类推等逻辑关系。这些逻辑关系常常通过on the one hand, on the other hand, as a result, as a consequence, on the contrary, above all, first of all, secondly, finally, in case等单词或短语表达出来。但有时作者并不使用这些单词或短语，而是将逻辑关系暗含于文章中，这就需要考生根据语境来确定逻辑关系。
4. 理清文章的论点、论据和结论
如果我们连论点、论据、结论都没把握住的话，只能是漫无目的地选择答案了。一般说来，能说明论点的答案可以在论据里得到印证，且作为论点的某些答案也可以与论据有机地结合起来，使论点与论据相辅相承，从而使整篇文章上下一致。如果我们所选的答案前后矛盾，论点与论据相悖，最后的结论与论点自相矛盾，那就说明我们对文章的把握缺乏条理性和系统性，我们就需重新来理顺文章的各部分，直到条理清楚为止，然后再根据自己对文章的把握及各部分的逻辑关系选出答案。

Lawmakers in New Jersey recently advanced a bill that would ban businesses from going cashless—a move that would put the state at odds with the global trend toward electronic payments but would 1 resistance from local officials who see no-cash policies as unfair.
Almost 1 of 3 Americans in 2018 say they don't use cash during a typical week of purchases, according to the Pew study released this week. The findings reveal life that Americans are becoming less reliant on paper currency, mirroring 2 in Sweden, India and China. But state and local officials say that restaurants and shops do that adopt cashless policies have left some members of the community behind— individuals without the 3 to open a bank account or who lack access to lines of credit or the mobile apps that power digital payments.
The New Jersey measure, which would apply only to face-to-face sales and would 4 internet and phone purchases, comes as officials push 5 efforts to bar no-cash rules in New York and Philadelphia. 6 cashless policies offer consumers the promise of convenience and provide businesses greater protection against theft, they also can exclude low-income consumers or undocumented immigrants, critics say. "Cash-free businesses are discriminatory by design and pose 7 to low-income communities that may not have access to credit or debit," New York Council member Torres said on Twitter when he introduced a bill that would ban the practice.
According to the Pew study, the decline in the use of 8 currency is uneven among the population when race, age and income are accounted for. Pew found a significant 9 in cashless adoption tied to annual household income, with adults making at least $75,000 more than twice as likely to make all their purchases without using cash in a typical week, 10 with people who make less than $30,000. The Pew findings suggest that the 11 of going cashless may come with a cost that only some groups of people will bear. Americans with lower incomes are roughly four times as likely than higher earners to make almost all of their purchases with cash, according to the study.
As has been noted, business leaders have 12 cashless policies by pointing to higher security and 13 customer service and efficiency. Some advocates have focused on providing people who are underserved by the 14 banking system with more affordable options, attacking the root cause behind the 15 of cashless payments.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you were like most children, you probably let your imagination run 16 . Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a famous chef. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more 17 Or you might have given up on some altogether.
If that’s the case, then today’s the day for you. January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come True Day. If you’ve been 18 fulfilling your dreams, this is the day to make a fresh start.
It’s important to dream because dreams can give us the 19 to succeed in life. Dreams inspire and motivate us. The great thing about dreams is that there’s no 20 to accomplish them right away. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to 21 . The important thing is that you’re 22 working toward your dream. And the best way to do that is by setting goals.
What is the 23 between a dream and a goal? It’s been said that dreams are the final destination; goals are the stops along the way.
Dreams can be very 24 . But the steps you take to reach them should be very 25 . Your dreams state what you want, but goals explain how you’ll get there. That makes goal seting a necessary step in 26 your dreams.
Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former U. S. Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the 27 of working for our dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic: it takes sweat, 28 and hard work. “Author Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no 29 limit. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down yo dream, and 30 your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come true.

Is Helicopter Parenting Necessary?
We’ve all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting. Remaining too 46 in a kid’s life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.
Superficially, this wisdom is sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling backlash(反冲). The concern: warnings that moms and dads should 47 “the over parenting trap”—are discouraging parents from getting involved at all.
Yes, parents can be intrusive. 48 , there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family. One mom kept 49 about her son’s signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in.”
That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to 50 parents who get too involved, now have a different 51 . But the solution to both is the same: devising ways to channel moms and dads into the right kind of 52 role.
Much of this began because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students 53 with their parents like never before, thanks to smartphones. And with 54 in education soaring, university leaders have started to view parents as investment partners. Most of them have paid for this education for their children or gone into debt for this education. And in some sense, they’re entitled to know and be assured that colleges are 55 their children’s welfare.
Crucially, parent-outreach programs have also served as buffers(缓冲), 56 students—or worse, their professors—the discomfort of the nagging. At the University of Maryland, for example, the parent office has handled 57 for weekly academic-progress reports, which do not exist in higher education. Parents just want to know they have a place to go where someone will listen to their concerns.
But now, with some moms and dads cautious of even contacting the school in the first place, those same programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often via blogs, email and Facebook. Parents are now advised to be a guide, while acknowledging that the 58 owns the journey. That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems. But if issues 59 , or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for a little while. “When you think about it, helicopters are useful tools,” says Chelsea Petree, who is launching a parent-outreach program. “They can see things we on the 60 can’t see and get to emergencies quicker than we can. They can swoop in when needed. The key is that they go back up.”

Growing Adoption of Green Cleaning
When we clean the bathroom, we’ve got all kinds of stuff to help us out: a cleaning solution that removes dirty marks from the shower walls and something in a squeeze bottle that makes the toilet sparkling clean. When all is done, the room is neat and clean, 61 dirt and bacteria. There’s just one problem—the 62 we used to clean can be harmful to people and the environment. For this reason, many people say that traditional cleaners should be 63 and replaced with less harmful “green” products.
The problem 64 the fact that some cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that just aren’t healthy for humans, animals, or the planet. Think of the 65 coming from a factory and getting into the air. The smoke creates air pollution, which harms the environment and makes us feel ill when we breathe it in. 66 , the chemicals in cleaning products pollute the air and can hurt us when we breathe them in or when they get on our skin. However, not all cleaning products are harmful. Green products, which do not contain harsh chemicals, are said to be good 67 because they are effective at cleaning and are safe for people and for the planet.
68 about chemicals has led many states to require schools and government buildings to use environmentally friendly cleaning products instead of products containing poisonous chemicals. Last year, 10 states required the use of green products and at least 5 other states were considering 69 in support of these products. A proposed bill would apply to bathroom and floor cleaners, hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and etc.
Many green cleaning products are widely available at prices 70 traditional products. In some cases, manufacturers receive green certifications for products they have long had on the market, and the prices of these products remain low. But not everyone shares the view about the
71 of green products. Toilet paper, trash bags and paper towel made from recycled materials can cost up to 20% more than traditional products, said Stephen, director of the Green Cleaning Network.
So, 72 of the proposed legislation are concerned about the potentially higher costs for some green products. These critics say that states should not determine which products 73 institutes and agencies must buy, especially if they increase costs, since many universities are already struggling financially. Some states have made compromises ( 妥 协 ) to help 74 concerns about costs. In Wisconsin, a recent adjustment to the bill would give schools and agencies three years instead of one to begin using green products. It would also 75 them to quit if they could show that their costs would increase.
