在完形填空中遇到生词是常见的现象，但这却影响了考生对文章的理解判断，并无形中增加了考生的心理压力，对正常发挥不利。一般说来，完形中的生词不会出现在选项中。对于那些不影响文章理解的生词，我们不必去深究，通过上下文了解其大概意义即可，有时可以忽略；而对于比较重要的和解题有关的生词，要注意构词法、上下句语义、语法逻辑或根据中心思想推敲句子间的逻辑等来把握词义。‎ ‎【举一反三】 ‎ I truly

解析　句意为：幸运的是，他把它还回来了。从前文看，作者没想到这个人还能将她的项链还给她。再次获得母亲的遗物，作者应该感到很幸运。luckily幸运地；naturally自然地；surely当然，肯定；hopefully有希望地。‎ ‎26．A.nursed B．cured C．missed D．guarded 答案　A 解析　句意为：在听说了我在母亲去世前6个月是如何照顾她的后……根据“for

解析　句意为：2008年12月，我被聘为一名旅馆经理，我也完全搬到了这里。honour纪念；hire雇用；regard把……看作；train训练。尽管四个选项均可与as搭配构成短语，但结合句意，只有B项正确。‎ ‎32．A.travel B．business C．children D．marriage 答案　D 解析　句意为：我们相爱了。一开始，我并未想到要谈婚论嫁。travel旅行；business生意；children孩子；marriage婚姻。根据前文We fell in love.及后文作者依然对母亲的去世感到悲伤可推断此处，作者虽然爱保罗，却没想到要与他结婚。根据逻辑推理可知D项正确。‎ ‎33．A.recently B．once C．still D．firstly 答案　C 解析　句意为：……因为失去母亲的悲痛仍然感觉很强烈。结合前文作者虽然爱保罗却并未想到要谈婚论嫁可知，失去母亲之痛仍折磨着作者。recently最近；once曾经；still仍旧，依然；firstly首先。根据句意可知C项正确。‎ ‎34．A.left B．pushed C．surprised D．interrupted 答案　B 解析　句意为：保罗理解那种感觉，他从来不催促我，但到夏天的时候，我们结婚了。leave离开；push推；催促；surprise使……吃惊；interrupt打断。后文的but表明了前后语意的转折。根据句意及逻辑关系可知B项正确。‎ ‎35．A.hotel B．restaurant C．home D．shop 答案　A

解析　句意为：……因为如果没有她给我的项链，我们不可能来到这里。unless除非；while当……时候；because因为；though虽然。根据前后文逻辑关系及语意可知C项正确。‎ ‎40．A.money B．chair C．house D．necklace 答案　D 题型二 分析句子结构破解长难句 ‎ “Just sign here，sir，”the deliveryman said as

(2012·浙江)‎ ‎21．A.strictly B．carefully C．roughly D．casually 答案　B 解析　根据下文及最后一段可知，这把漂亮的雨伞作为对作者善良、无私行为的奖励被邮寄给了他，所以包裹应是包得非常仔细。carefully仔细地，符合语境。strictly严格地；roughly粗糙地，粗略地；casually随便地，随意地。‎ ‎22．A.Opening B．Seizing C．Observing D．Searching 答案　A 解析　根据下文Oscar saw an umbrella inside可反推出Oscar已经将盒子打开了。‎ ‎23．A.After B．When C．Since D．Although 答案　D 解析　本句句意为：虽然他有20多年没有见它了，但是他还是立刻认出了它。根据句中的had not seen it in more than 20 years和recognized it可知，前后语意为转折关系。‎ ‎24．A.clearly B．fully C．immediately D．suddenly 答案　C 解析　根据后文内容可知，作者对这把伞的印象非常深刻，所以当他见到这把伞时，立刻就认出它来。clearly清楚地；fully完全地，十分地；immediately立刻，马上；suddenly突然。‎ ‎25．A.average B．unusual C．plain D．typical 答案　B 解析　从第二段中“a very old one with a beautifully carved wooden handle”可知，这把伞非同一般。unusual非同寻常的，符合语境。average普通的，一般的，平均的；plain朴素的，简单的；typical典型的，有代表性的。‎

‎28．A.convinced B．forced C．encouraged D．advised 答案　A ‎29．A.until B．before C．which D．where 答案　D 解析　根据句式结构分析可知，空格后为一个定语从句，其先行词为the seat，关系词在从句中充当地点状语，故选where。‎ ‎30．A.family B．theater C．house D．neighborhood 答案　C 解析　通过对下文的理解可知，作者说服了祖父母到失主家送伞。根据后文的rang the bell，the door opened等字眼可知是到了失主的家里。‎ ‎31．A.invite B．help C．bother D．know 答案　B 解析　当老妇人看到作者时并不知道作者的来意，所以询问作者她能为他做些什么。May I help you？表示“有需要帮忙的吗？”。‎ ‎32．A.putting up B．turning out C．picking up D．holding out 答案　D 解析　通读前文可知，作者要将老人的伞归还回去，自然是要伸出手将伞递给老人。hold out伸出，符合语境。put up举起，张贴；turn out结果是，最终是；pick up捡起，接收，用车接。‎ ‎33．A.chance B．fact C．gift D．result 答案　C 解析　本句句意为：奥斯卡说着，伸手将伞递过去，好像是在递交一份期盼已久的礼物。选项中只有C项可与hold out搭配。‎ ‎34．A.wide B．confident C．proud D．shy 答案　A 解析　父亲多年前赠送的礼物现在失而复得，老妇人自然是笑逐颜开。a wide smile为习惯搭配，表示“笑得很开心”。confident自信的，proud自豪的，shy羞涩的，均与语境及常理不符。‎ ‎35．A.patience B．kindness C．courage D．determination 答案　B 解析　作者将捡到的东西归还失主，自然是好心。老妇人希望能送给作者点儿什么作为对他好心的报答。最后一段中的kind也与该处的kindness相呼应。‎ ‎36．A.obviously B．naturally C．exactly D．probably 答案　C 解析　作者的祖母对他说过的话恰巧老妇人的父亲也跟她说过。exactly恰好，正确地，符合语境。obviously显而易见地；naturally自然地；probably很可能。‎ ‎37．A.old B．rare C．precious D．nice 答案　A 解析　本句句意为：伞状况完好，鉴于它已经那么旧了。根据文章第二段中a very old one以及more than 20 years可知，这把伞很旧了。尽管这把伞经历了漫长的岁月，但其状况依然良好。‎ ‎38．A.in contrast B．in return C．in exchange D．in answer 答案　D ‎39．A.possess B．accept C．carry D．value 答案　B 解析　由该语境可知，老妇人将这把伞邮寄给作者，希望作者能够将其作为一份礼物收下，以此表达老人对于作者无私帮助的感激。‎ ‎40．A.attractive B．significant C．unselfish D．sympathetic 答案　C 解析　通读前文可知，作者为了找到伞的主人做了很多事情，而且并没有为自己的善举索取什么。他的做法在老妇人看来是善良、无私的。unselfish无私的，符合语境。attractive吸引人的；significant重要的；sympathetic有同情心的。‎ ‎【提分秘籍】 ‎ 分析长难句可从下面几点入手：‎ ‎1．找出谓语动词 找到了谓语动词，就说明有句子存在。有时态的动词通常是谓语。然后，顺着谓语动词往前找，如果有引导词存在，说明这个谓语动词所在的句子就是个从句，再根据引导词前的单词判定该从句的类型。如果没有引导词存在，那说明这是主句的谓语动词，那它的前面就是主语，后面就应该是宾语或表语。‎ ‎2．寻找并列连词 常见的并列连词有and，but，yet，or，so，for，not only...but also...看到这些单词，一般 就有并列结构存在，并且很可能存在着省略问题。‎ ‎3．寻找引导词 找到引导词就找到了从句，再根据引导词前的单词确定其是什么从句。‎ ‎4．寻找名词 一般的长句子中，名词后只要不是谓语动词，一般都有修饰限定成分，即定语或同位语。也就是说，我们只要能寻找到名词，其后的句子成分就确定是修饰或解释前面的名词的。‎ ‎【举一反三】 ‎ One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow.__1__ the little bird had flown into our open garage.Then I __2__ the bird before I saw it.‎ ‎“What’s that？”I asked when I first heard the sound.‎ ‎“It’s coming from the __3__，” my wife，Anita，said.“Maybe it’s one of the little __4__.”‎ I looked into the garage.No children at all.But there was that sound again，coming from right up there.And that’s __5__ I saw the sparrow.It was flying __6__ just inches below the ceiling.It was clearly __7__ to get out，but couldn’t see the way out was not up，but __8__ and out through the garage door.So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head __9__ the ceiling.‎ I tried to terrify it out，but only succeeded in driving it into the __10__ open space between the door and the ceiling.Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet __11__ it could get outside，but that only seemed to __12__ it more.‎ ‎“Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes？” Anita __13__.“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.”‎ We went back into the house，where we __14__ to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling.Then suddenly，it was __15__ and our uninvited guest was gone.‎ I’ve __16__ that little sparrow through the years，and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people.We think we were __17__ to fly ever upward，and we don’t even consider the __18__ that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit.Once we figure out that we can make __19__ without banging(碰) our heads against ceilings，we can usually save ourselves much __20__.‎ ‎1．A.Still B．Somehow C．Instead D．Perhaps ‎ 答案　B 解析　通过文中“we had an uninvited guest”，可知这只鸟是不速之客，不知怎么地，它飞进了车库。此处选择somehow“不知怎么地”。‎ ‎2．A.heard B．caught C．searched D．observed 答案　A 解析　通过后面的“before I saw it”，可知此处为：我先听见了声音，后看见了小鸟。此处选择heard“听见”，符合句意。‎ ‎3．A.house B．backyard C．garage D．basement 答案　C 解析　此处与下一句“I looked into the garage.”相互呼应。我听见了声音，问妻子，妻子说可能是孩子在车库。故选择garage。‎ ‎4．A.birds B．guests C．cats D．kids 答案　D 解析　此处与后文“No children at all”相呼应。妻子说可能是孩子的声音，我看了后发现没有孩子在车库。故选择kids。‎ ‎5．A.when B．how C．why D．whether 答案　A 解析　“That’s when I saw the sparrow.”那时我看见了那只麻雀，与前一句“But there was that sound again”前后顺承。‎ ‎6．A.quickly B．anxiously C．cautiously D．slowly 答案　B 解析　此处通过后文“So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head ________ the ceiling.”可以猜测，此时的小鸟非常焦虑，想快点飞出去。故选择anxiously。quickly 迅速地；cautiously小心谨慎地；slowly慢慢地，均不符合句意。‎ ‎7．A.deciding B．hesitating C．trying D．choosing 答案　C 解析　此处应是小鸟试图出去，但找不到办法。try试图，努力；decide决定；hesitate犹豫不决；choose选择，均不符合题意。‎ ‎8．A.up B．backward C．forward D．down 答案　D ‎9．A.against B．off C．along D．into 答案　A 解析　此处和文章最后一句中“without banging(碰) our heads against ceilings”形成前后呼应。against碰撞，如waves dashing against the shore。off 远离；along沿着；into进入。‎ ‎10．A.free B．small C．wide D．dark 答案　B 解析　通过文中“space between the door and the ceiling”可知此处指的是天花板和门之间的小空隙中，故选择small。free 自由的，有空的；wide宽阔的；dark黑暗的。此处强调我试图把鸟吓出去，却适得其反。‎ ‎11．A.in case B．even if C．as though D．so that 答案　D 解析　通过分析句子“Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet ________ it could get outside”可知，句中show the bird how to fly down的目的就是让它飞出去，故用so that 引导目的状语从句。in case 以防万一；even if 即使；as though＝as if 好像，都不符合句子的意思。‎ ‎12．A.puzzle B．confuse C．frighten D．disturb 答案　C 解析　通过文中“I tried to terrify it out”和此处“but that only seemed to ________ it more”可以猜测，此处应是让它更害怕。frighten使……害怕，符合句意。puzzle使困惑，不解；confuse使……迷惑，困惑；disturb打扰。‎ ‎13．A.suggested B．explained C．insisted D．demanded 答案　A 解析　此处是Anita提出建议，故用suggested。‎ ‎14．A.attempted B．continued C．refused D．failed 答案　B ‎15．A.fierce B．empty C．safe D．silent 答案　D 解析　通过文中“our uninvited guest was gone”可知，小鸟飞走了后就没有动静了，故选择silent。fierce激烈的；empty空的；safe安全的。‎ ‎16．A.looked after B．worried about C．thought about D．brought up 答案　C 解析　look after照顾；worry about对……担忧；bring up养育。小鸟已经飞走了，谈不上“照顾”、“担忧”、“养育”，故选择“think about(考虑，思索)”。‎ ‎17．A.forced B．determined C．born D．urged 答案　C 解析　我们一直认为我们生来(born)就该往高处飞。force强迫；determine决定；urge强烈要求。‎ ‎18．A.idea B．possibility C．challenge D．problem 答案　B 解析　由语境可知此处选possibility。idea主意；challenge挑战；problem问题。‎ ‎19．A.progress B．peace C．decisions D．efforts 答案　A 解析　make progress取得进步，符合句意。make peace讲和；make decision做决定；make efforts作出努力，均不合题意。‎ ‎20．A.panic B．pressure C．loss D．trouble 答案　D 解析　save意为“省下”，搭配为save ourselves much trouble“给我们省下不少麻烦”。panic惊慌；pressure压力；loss损失，都不合题意。‎ 题型三 　日积月累攻克固定搭配 ‎ “Look，it’s Baldy！”A boy shouted in my direction
