Have You Filled up the Form?

Of all things in the world,I most dislike filling up forms;in fact,I have a________(51)horror of it. Applying for a driving license,________(52)for an evening course,booking a holiday abroad一everything nowadays seem to involve________(53)information about one's personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter________(54)hand.When applying for a job,it may be________(55)some obscure interest to a________(56)employer to learn that I collect stamp or had measles as a child,but why should he conceivably want to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 1988?
The authorities who________(57)one to fill up forms,frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put________(58)one's intimate friends.The worst of it is that, when________(59)with such questions,my mind goes blank.Have I ever suffered from a serious illness?My mother always assured me I was"delicate".Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well,I wear contact lenses and my upper teeth are not my own,but perhaps the word"defects"________(60)to my character. Am I supposed to________(61)that I like gambling,and find it difficult to get up in the morning?Both of them are true.
Of all,I think job applications are the worst,education,previous experience,post held,give
________(62)…Terrified by the awful warning about giving false________(63)which appear at
the bottom of the form,I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms.________(64)hard I try,there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily account and which I am certain,if left________(65),will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention.

选项 _________(59)
A:to confront       
B:confronted
C:confronting       
D:being confronted

答案B

解析positive的意思是“绝对的、确实的”,例如:It was a positive delight to hear her sing so beautifully.听她美妙的歌声绝对是一种享受。原文是“事实上,我对它确实有一种恐惧”,因此选A。
register的意思是“注册、登记”, “ register for an evening course”,即“报名参加夜校课程”。此处选B最合逻辑,因为报名上课需要填表格,其他各项均不合题意。
involve在这里为“包括”的意思,例如:Taking the job involves living abroad.接受这份工作就必须到国外工作。表此意时:“ involve”后面接名词或动名词,因为这里表示填表,就必须提供给别人一些自己的私人信息,所以此题选C。
“in hand”是一个固定搭配,表示“在手头上的,随时可用的”,因为这里指 “与手头上正办的事情无关的信息”,所以用B最合适。“at hand”为“即将到来的”;“by hand” 指“用手做”;“to hand”指“在取用的范围内”。
“of”在这里表示一种因果关系,其后接原因。本句话的意思是“申请一份工作时,如果未来老板想要知道我集邮、小时候得过麻疹,那他的兴趣真是让人费解”。
“prospective”指“未来的”,用在“employer(雇主)”前最合适,根据上下文可知,这里谈到的是求职过程中的情况,所以还只是未来的雇主,现在关系还不确定。
“require”指“需要、要求”,带有一点强制性,用在这里最合适,因为这里是说政府、权威机构(authorities)要求人们去填表。“invite”指“邀请”,不合题意;“request”为 “拜托、恳请”,用在这里显得语气过于软弱,因此选D。
“put to”是一个固定搭配,指“向……提问”,用在这里符合文意。本句话的意思是“权威机构让人们常常填写的内容往往是一个人向亲密朋友询问前都会扰像的问题”。
“confront”指“碰到、遭遇”,因为此句主语为“my mind”,所以这里 “confront”要用被动语态。本句话的意思是“最糟糕的是每当我面对这些问题就会头脑一片空白”。
“apply to”指“适用、应用”,例如:This rule does not apply to my case.这个规定不适用于我的情况。本文中指作者怀疑“defects”缺陷这个词适用于他的性格特点。
“admit”指“承认”,因为前面提到了怀疑他的身体有缺陷,这里就说“我是不是还要承认我喜欢赌博,而且早上起不来呢?”根据上下文,C为正确选项,而其他各项都有 “否认、拒绝”的意思。
因为这里叙述的是填求职表格的内容,前面有“过去的经历”,“所任职务”,可以推断肯定要填写一些“日期”,所以选项dates最合适。
“declaration”除了“声明”意思之外,还有“申报”,例如:Please make a written declaration of all the goods you bought abroad.请把你在海外买的全部货物以书面形式申报。本文中指填表格时候对自己情况的申报。
“however”在这里是副词,指“无论到什么程度”,例如:However cold it is, he always goes swimming.不管有多冷,他都要去游泳。本文指“不论我怎么努力回忆”。
这里的意思是“但是如果空着不填就会让人认为我坐牢了,或者从事什么不便于提到的令人怀疑的职业”。blank的意思是“未做标记的、未写的”,而其他各项均无此意,D项不合语法结构,因此选C。
