二、完形填空（15小题，每题1分，共15分）
Many freshmen feel anxious about the high school placement English test, especially the cloze test. They treat it as a collection of separate words and ignore the hidden logic between sentences. Few of them know the **ladder logic（梯形逻辑）** can totally change their way of solving cloze problems.
At first, I also failed many cloze exercises. I only chose words based on Chinese translation and seldom cared about the context. Once I finished a 15-blank passage in ten minutes, thinking I did perfectly. However, my teacher pointed out that half of my answers conflicted with the writer’s attitude. She told me three layers of ladder logic to solve cloze.
The first layer is fixed collocations. We must master dozens of verb phrases and preposition matches, such as calm down, stick to and give up. Without solid basic collocations, we cannot rule out wrong options quickly. The second layer is sentence logic, including transition, cause and effect, and progressive relations. Words like however, therefore and besides act as clear signs to judge the semantic direction. The third layer is the whole text’s emotion and theme. All choices must match the writer’s mood and the main idea from the beginning to the end.
I followed this method for one month. Every time I did cloze, I marked collocations, circled logic words and grasped the emotional line of the story. Gradually, my cloze scores rose from 8 to 13 out of 15. This ladder logic method proves that cloze testing is never just a vocabulary test, but a test of comprehensive logical thinking.
16. A. simple B. separate C. similar D. special
17. A. forget B. ignore C. remember D. accept
18. A. change B. support C. waste D. copy
19. A. succeeded B. improved C. failed D. passed
20. A. based on B. filled with C. full of D. covered with
21. A. sadly B. carefully C. seldom D. often
22. A. slowly B. perfectly C. carelessly D. quietly
23. A. agreed with B. connected with C. conflicted with D. dealt with
24. A. layers B. lines C. points D. rules
25. A. refuse B. master C. forget D. avoid
26. A. without B. with C. for D. by
27. A. judge B. read C. write D. draw
28. A. word B. sentence C. story D. emotion
29. A. marked B. removed C. lost D. broke
30. A. fell B. rose C. stayed D. kept

Ladder Logic for Cloze Test
Cloze is the most divisive part in high school placement English exams. Most junior high students solve cloze by translating each word one by one, which leads to frequent mistakes. The ladder logic method divides cloze analysis into three clear levels to help students get high scores steadily.
Level 1: Basic collocation. This is the foundation. Before practicing cloze, students need to sort out verb phrases, adjective preposition matches and noun fixed usages. Many wrong options can be eliminated directly if you are familiar with these collocations.
Level 2: Sentence logical relations. Every cloze passage is made up of logically connected sentences. Transition words show whether two sentences are opposite or consistent in meaning. If you ignore words like but, so and besides, you will easily choose semantically contradictory answers.
Level 3: Full-text emotion and theme. A complete cloze article has a fixed emotional thread and central idea. All blanks must fit the writer’s attitude. For example, if the whole passage talks about the benefits of reading, you cannot choose words with negative meanings to fill in the blanks.
Steps to use this method: First skim the whole passage to grasp the theme and emotion line; second fill blanks by combining collocation and sentence logic; finally reread the full text to check if all answers match the central idea.
31. What’s the main problem of most students when doing cloze?
A. They lack enough vocabulary.
B. They only translate words without analyzing logic.
C. They cannot remember fixed collocations.
D. They read the passage too slowly.
32. How many layers does the ladder logic include?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
33. Which of the following belongs to Level 1 learning content?
A. Analyzing transition words
B. Grasping the writer’s feeling
C. Memorizing verb fixed phrases
D. Judging cause-and-effect relations
34. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Transition words reflect sentence logic.
B. Negative words are not allowed in cloze.
C. All passages have two opposite themes.
D. Collocations are less important than logic.
35. What is the correct order of using ladder logic?
A. Fill blanks → skim full text → check answers
B. Skim text → fill blanks → recheck
C. Recheck → fill blanks → skim text
D. Skim text → recheck → fill blanks
B
Reading English articles every day is a necessary habit for new senior high students. Many students only practice reading exercises before exams, which cannot improve their long-term reading ability. Daily reading can enlarge vocabulary, train logical thinking and lay a solid foundation for cloze and writing.
It’s better to choose materials suitable for placement test difficulty: short argumentative essays, biographies and simple science passages. You’d better prepare a notebook to write down unfamiliar words and good sentence structures while reading. After reading one passage, try to summarize the main idea in one sentence to train your ability of text generalization.
Many students complain that they have no spare time for extra reading. Actually, 20 minutes every morning or before bedtime is enough. Persistence matters more than long reading time once. Only continuous daily reading can help you adapt to the long and complex articles in high school entrance placement exams.
36. Why is daily reading important for freshmen?
A. It helps get high scores in one single exam.
B. It improves vocabulary and logical thinking.
C. It replaces all grammar exercise books.
D. It saves time for doing cloze exercises.
37. Which material is recommended for daily reading?
A. Simple children’s storybooks
B. Long foreign novels
C. Argumentative short passages
D. Short funny online videos
38. What should students do during reading?
A. Copy the whole article on notebooks
B. Write down new words and good sentences
C. Stop reading once meeting unknown words
D. Finish reading at least one hour every day
39. How much reading time is advised per day?
A. 10 minutes B. 20 minutes C. 30 minutes D. 40 minutes
40. What is the key to effective daily reading?
A. Reading fast
B. Choosing difficult articles
C. Keeping reading every day
D. Memorizing all new words
C
Nowadays, many students rely too much on electronic translation tools when learning English. They search every unknown word immediately instead of guessing meanings from context. This habit weakens their ability to analyze passages independently, especially harmful to cloze and reading comprehension.
Teachers suggest students guess word meanings first according to sentence logic and context clues. For cloze tests, there are always context hints hidden in the previous or following sentences. If you form the habit of guessing words, you will think more actively and get better scores in placement exams.
Electronic tools can be used after you finish exercises to check answers and sort out new words, but never use them while you are doing cloze or reading exercises. True English ability comes from independent thinking rather than quick translation from machines.
41. What bad habit do many students have?
A. Giving up English reading easily
B. Using translation tools at any time
C. Memorizing words without sentences
D. Ignoring cloze logic training
42. What does the writer think of relying on translation tools during exercises?
A. Very helpful B. A little useful C. Harmful D. Unrelated
43. How should students deal with unknown words first?
A. Look them up on phones
B. Guess meanings from context
C. Skip all unknown words
D. Write them down to memorize later
44. When can students use translation tools properly?
A. While doing cloze exercises
B. When finishing all exercises
C. During reading exams
D. Before starting daily reading
45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Students should learn English without electronic tools.
B. Translation tools are useless for English learning.
C. Use translation tools properly and think independently.
D. Cloze tests need more context guessing training.

Master Ladder Logic to Improve Cloze Scores
As the high school placement test approaches, many students lose lots of points in cloze tests. They only memorize words mechanically and choose answers by simple Chinese translation, ignoring the hidden logic of passages. This old learning method always leads to low scores.
Actually, the ladder logic method can completely change our cloze performance. It has three layers: fixed collocations as the basic layer, sentence transition logic as the middle layer, and full-text emotion and theme as the top layer. We should judge options from all three levels instead of single words.
To master this skill, we need daily training. Finish one cloze passage every day, mark collocations and logic words, and review wrong questions regularly. Only by practicing this method persistently can we make great progress in the upcoming placement exam.
