面对高考高考完形填空解题技巧 96页

高考完形填空解题技巧 (I)‎ ‎  完形填空是全国各地高考英语必考题型之一，占20分。题型特征是：一篇短文中间留20 个空格，每个空格给出4个选项，要求从中选出最佳答案填入相应的空格内。由于这种题型既考查学生的语法、词法、句法、习惯用法等英语基础知识的综合运用能力，又考查他们对短文的阅读和理解能力。这种题型综合性较强，因而难度较大。总的来说，完形填空为了测试考生实际应用英语的能力和语感。具体说来，是从语 篇角度综合测试考生的阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。因此，本文我就考试出题的三个方向、考试题型和具体 解题技巧做了详细阐述：‎ 一、考试出题的大致方向是：‎ ‎1、词汇：某些词义的识别，同义词辨析。英语习惯用法的熟悉程度。 　　2、语法结构：语法规则的实际应用。 　　3、语篇句意：从语篇角度,即上下文和情景语境综合测试考生的阅读理解能力 ‎4. 逻辑推理和生活常识 二、考试题型： 　　（一）词汇题：‎ ‎　　单纯地考单词或短语的释义： 　　1.There can be no question about the value of a safety program. From a financial standpoint alone, safety ____. (‘99)　　‎ A. comes off B. turns up C. pays off D. holds up 　　答案：C. 　　词汇辨析题：‎ 主要是指同义词、近义词的辨析，这类题较难。 　　2.They are needed for ____ food into energy and body maintenance. (‘96) 　　A. shifting B. transferring C. altering D. transforming 　　答案：D. 　　固定短语搭配题： 　　3.With it, astronauts will acquire a workhouse vehicle ____ of flyingsintosspace and returning many times. (‘92) 　　A. capable B. suitable C. efficient D. fit 　　答案：A. 　　(二)语法题： 　　语法结构题，主要是考结构词：代词、介词和从句连接词。 　　4.Moreover, inaccurate or indefinite words may make ____ difficult for the listener to understand the message which is being transmitted to him. (’94) 　　A. that B. it C. so D. this　　答案：B. 　　(三)语篇题： 　　文章的上下文决定所缺处所选择的词.这一考点要求学生根据文章的整体内容进行理解,根据层次结构和内容的逻辑关系,去选择符合文章情节的答案,这也叫情景意义的选择. ‎ ‎　　5.Getting enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for excess vitamins. Many people ____ believe in being on the "safe side" and thus take extra vitamins. (96) 　　A. nevertheless B. therefore C. moreover D. meanwhile 　　答案：A. 　三、解题技巧 要做好完形填空题，除了要具备较扎实的英语基本功之外，还必须具备良好的应试心态，掌握一定的答题技巧,这样有助于在做题时思路清晰,速度加快,节约时间,增进效益. ‎ ‎1..充满信心，沉着冷静。‎ 无论做什么事情，信心十分重要。有的同学尽管英语基础不错，但由于平时做练 习时有“偏食”的习惯，即喜欢做基础题，怕做综合性较强的能力题（如完形填空、阅读理解等），因而在考试中遇到这类题目时就会感到压力大，信心不足。同学们在做完形填空题时一定要充满信心，沉着冷静，要相信自己的实力。只有这样，答题时才能发挥出自己的最佳水平，减少失误。‎ ‎2、精读第一句 它是了解全文大意的基石.完形填空文章的第一句话通常是没有空白的完整句子，而且第一句往往是文章的主题句(Topic Sentence)，或是含有主题词的句子，考生可以根据它来把握文章的中心思想，为下面答题奠定基础。‎ 这里，首先我们要知道英文的主题句的特点。一个有效的主题句应该有以下两个标准： 　　1.Topic：主题或议题。明确指示段落的内容，起到限定主题范围的作用。 　　2.Opinion：反映作者对待主题的观点、印象、态度，起到限定段落基调的作用。　　 　　知道了英文主题句的特点之后，我们在阅读完型填空文章的第一句话时，就不应该只是读懂其字面中文意思，而是要透过首句来预测文章的中心内容，为接下来做题把准方向。比如1994年考题的首句是： 　　The first and smallest unit that can be discussed in relation to language is the word. 　 　这就是一句非常有效的主题句。据此，我们可以大胆地预测文章的主题是讨论"词汇(word)"与"语言表达(language)"的关系。作者的态度通 过"first and smallest"就说明作者认为"词汇"对于"语言"的重要意义。实际上，该篇文章的确是围绕"词汇"与"语言"的关系展开的。 　　由此可见，精读第一句对于理解和把握整个文章的中心意义和作者的行文的脉络是非常有效的。这就为我们往下做题指明了方向！‎ ‎3.通读全文，掌握大意,粗选答案 有 相当一部分同学在没有通读全文、弄懂大意的情况下 就急忙边阅读边依空选择。这是一种不良的答题习惯。而且那些错误的答案会在大脑中先入为主，在复查时很难发现，同学们在做题之前必须先集中精力将短文精读 两遍，掌握其大意，同时要记住短文里的人物、时间或 地点，尤其要注意首句和尾句的含义。这样，答题时才能心中有数。此时可以边阅读边粗选答案,这是为了尽量减少空格,帮助更透彻地了解全文.‎ ‎　  4、从上下文寻找信息词 　　完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相联的语篇，而词语的重复出现、同义词和反义词的使用是重要的连句成篇的词汇纽带，因此，在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义词、反义词相互照应等现象。 　　警示：考生在答题时，不要急于求成。而要充分利用上下文信息词，在继续阅读中寻找和斟酌答案。 　　充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。例如：‎ ‎　　1)Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very very ＿.‎ ‎　　A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous 根据转折连词but的提示，所填入的词应与shallow相反，因此答案为A。‎ ‎2)Mrs O’Neill asked ＿＿ questions and she didn’t scold us either.‎ ‎　　A. no B. certain C. many D. more and是一个并列连词；either为副词，用在否定句或否定词后加强语势，由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词，因此答案是A。      5.形意结合，前后参照 ‎ 完形填空所要求填的答案在意义上必须和短文内容相符，形式上必须符合语法规 则和习惯用法。有些同学之所以失分较多，其中一个很重要的原因就是顾此失彼。同学们在选择答案时，应先从意义上判断其是否与短文内容相吻合，然后再从形式 上（如时态、语态、非谓语动词、主谓一致、固定搭配 等）判断所选答案是否恰当，前后参照，连贯考虑，提高选择的准确率。 ‎ 比如：‎ Washoe is a young chimpanzee(黑猩猩). She is no 41 chimpanzee, though. Scientists are doing a research 42  her . They want to see how civilized she can  43 . Already she does many things a human being can do.(95NMET)‎ ‎  41空的选项是foolish/ordinary/special/simple,均为形容词,都能修饰chimpanzee, 根据下文, 此黑猩猩在接受驯化,已经能做人能做的许多事,从而便可确定,她不再是普通的(ordinary)黑猩猩了.如果不前后参照,去辨别四个词的用法,是无法选出正确答案的.‎ ‎6.先易后难，迂回解题 ‎ 做完形填空时，对于一时没有把握的题目，可以采用“迂回战术”，在题号前标上记号，先绕过去做下面的题目。在做完较容易的题目之后再回过头来思考那些难题，同时把已确定好了的答 案代入短文，帮助理解。这样，也许难题就不难了。‎ ‎7、把握文章组织结构 主要是针对语篇题。 　　做题时，要把准文章作者发展脉络，文章的起承转合，要注意段落与段落之间，句与句之间的内在逻辑联系，领悟暗示，选对答案。‎ Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened __21__. As was discussed before, it was not __22__ the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic __23__. (2002) ‎ ‎　　21. A. between B. before C. since D. later 　　22. A. after B. by C. during D. until 　　23. A. means B. method C. medium D. measure 　　答案：21. A. 22. D. 23. C 　 　分析：我们注意到文章讲了两个时间：20世纪和15、16世纪，而19世纪显然是处在两者之间，故21填between。22题是一语法结构题，固定结 构：It was not until---that---。23题属于前面介绍的"信息词"题。上文中出现的：television, printing, newspaper均说明该题应填medium ‎8.了解生活常识，确定相关知识。‎ ‎　　Every morning she would give him breakfast in bed and bring him the paper to 30 (1998)‎ ‎    A. check    B.read    C. keep   D.sign ‎    分析: 外国人早上有读报的习惯,其中paper即为报纸.这是理解本文细节的关键,有了这些文化背景知识,可迅速推断出正确答案为B ‎    9.必要时采用排除法,根据已知条件和信息去推断未知事物      ‎ ‎　　10.全文贯通，复查核定 做 完题目后，要仔细复查核定。全方位,多角度地检查所选答案,看能否使全文连贯畅通,内容清晰,主题突出.对于个别拿不准的答案, 应根据语感完成.复查可以采用两种方法：1.不看已选的答案，再 把所有的题目做一遍，然后看看两个答案是否一致，如不一致，再仔细比较鉴别；2.把答案代入短文细读一遍，看所选答案是否与短文整体相吻合，再把每个空白 处与它相对应的4个答案一一对照。‎ 总 之，要提高完形填空的解题水平，除了上面介绍的方法技巧外，在平时的学习实践中，一要不断积累并熟练掌握词汇语法等扎实的基本技能,对于重要的语法项目, 如定语从句状语从句非谓语动词名词性从句等,要加以总结概括,以做题时运用灵活,概念清楚。二要有计划，有目的地训练，加强阅读，提高速度，培养语感,在 实践中感悟的辨析，搭配，学会对文章进行逻辑判断及推理，既要看懂表层意思，更要理解深层次的含义。三要按步骤，由简到难，由短到长地进行有针对性的专项 训练，材料要精选，解题要限时，体裁要多样，运用正确的解题方法与技巧。四要注意分析错题,避免出现类似错误.只要我们持之以恒，解答完形填空的水平就能 得到提高。‎ 高考完形填空试题解题思路与解题技巧 (II)‎ 做完形填空题是基于整个语篇的理解，要求学生掌握相当数量的词汇、句型、词组和一定的阅读理解能力和词语 搭配能力，综合运用语言知识的能力。由此可见完形填空题也是阅读题，是一种难度较大的题型。是对考生阅读理解和语言综合运用能力的测试。本文侧重对完形填 空题进行了全方位的剖析，介绍了完形填空题的理论依据、试题形式、试题性质，详细分析了填空类型、短文长度、间隔设计、成分与结构，总结出一整套完形填空 题的解题思路与技巧，旨在帮助同学们提高解题意识，把握解题思路，掌握解题技巧。 ‎ ‎    一、完形填空题型介绍     1、理论依据     完形填空，又称为综合填空。英文叫Cloze Test(或Cloze Procedure, Cloze Technique)。 从20世纪70年代起，这种测试形式就被我国外语教学界普遍采用。该题型也已成为我国高考英语试题及各种英语测试的固定题型，因此引起了广大英语教师和参 加考试的学生广泛关注。     Cloze 一词来源于“格式塔心理学派”（Gestalt Psychology）的术语。这个学派主张整体理解，理解时从上到下，从总体结构到各个组成部分进行分析，它认为人有时对不完整的事物进行补充的能力。 按照“格式塔心理学派”的理论，一篇文章有它的主题思想，整体结构，理论支持，总体布局等特点。选一篇文章，中间去掉一些词，也就是说每隔一些词留一个空 格，这篇文章仍有足够的线索，考生能用这些线索，通过上下文的分析，对被去掉的词作出正确的判断，从所给的选项中选出恰当的词填入空格，使上下文合理、符 合题意、并能保持原文内容的完整性和原文的语言特色。后来人们把这个理论应用到英语测试题上，就形成了今天的Cloze Test, 具体地说就是一种综合填空测试题。综上所述就是完形填空题的理论依据。     2、试题形式     完形填空题的形式主要有两种： 1）一种是取一篇短文，在当中挖掉一些词，留出空格，在文章下方提供4个可供选择的答案，考生从中选出正确的答案； 2）一种是取一篇短文，每隔一定数量的词，留出空格，不提供任何可供选择的答案，考生根据上下文填写一个恰当的词；     目前我国高考英语试题采用的是第一种形式，即在所选短文的下面提供4个可供选择的答案，考生从四个选项中选出一个正确答案。这是我国高考和英语测试采用的最流行的一种形式。     3、试题性质     完形填空题与语法选择题和词汇选择题虽然都是填空题， 但在试题性质和测试目的上是完全不同的。语法、结构单项填空通常是以一个句子的形式出现的，通过选择一个答案，这个答案在语法上能够使这个句子完整。词汇 选择题通常也是以一个句子的形式出现的，通过选择一个答案，这个答案能够使这个句子在意义上完整。而做完形填空题则基于整个语篇的理解，要求考生掌握相当 数量的词汇、句型、词组和有一定的阅读理解能力，和词语搭配能力，综合运用语言知识的能力。由此可见完形填空题是阅读题，是一种难度较大的题型。是一种对 考生阅读理解能力的测试。     二、完形填空的题型特色     1、填空类型分析     完形填空题的词项有两大类：实词和虚词。实词指：动词、名词、形容词、副词、代词和数词； 虚词指：介词及介词短语、连词和冠词。还有一种划分是把完形填空题分为语义和动能两大类，如果该题型要求考生填入实词，这种填空题为语义类；如果该题型要 求考生填入虚词，这种填空题为功能类。笔者分析并统计高考英语试题中的完形填空题以填实词（动词、名词、形容词、副词、代词、数词）‎ 为主，虚词（连词、介词、介词短语）为次；也就是说以语义类为主，功能类为次。这就意味着完形填空题主要测试考生的阅读能力和英语语言知识综合运用能力。     2、短文长度分析    从短文的长度来看，近10年高考中，每篇短文平均为221个单词。     3、间隔设计分析     完形填空题的难易取决于两个因素：1）所取的短文本身所含的生词量、语法、句子结构、句子长短、文化背景等； 2）空格之间的长度，空格与空格之间的长度越长，填空难度就越小，长度越小难度就越大。‎ ‎ 4、成分与结构分析     从完形填空所填入的句子成分来看，以谓语、定语、宾语、状语居多，还有表语、及其他成分，以及非谓语动词、习惯搭配、固定词组、介词短语和各种句型等。从结构上分析，完形填空所提供的四个选项，如果单从本句的结构来看，四个选项都可以填入空 格，但从意义上看只有一个答案。如1993年上海市高考英语试题的完形填空题的第61题：This ___61__ that you can watch the movement of his eyes as he reads the page. ____62__ you do this, you will see that your friend’s eyes do not make a continuous forward sweep. ____63___ they progress by little “jumps”, moving, then stopping, as they progress along the line. ‎ ‎61. (A) shows (B) means (C) expresses (D) proves     本题所提供的四个选项都是动词，都能接宾语从句，后面跟的正是宾语从句，从结构上看四个答案都能填入空格，然而从四个词的意义来看，应该用 means(意味着)，因为只有means才符合题意。 有的单从这一句的语法、语言知识来看，四个选项填入都能成立，但从整个语篇考虑，答案只有一个。再如2000年全国英语高考卷的完形填空题第29 题：Worse still, Dad ___27___ a step and fell, sending my new suitcases __28___ down the stairs. “Damn!” he screamed, his face turning red. I knew ___29___ was ahead. Whenever Dad’s face turns red___30___! ‎ ‎29. (A) suffering (B) difficulty (C) trouble (D) danger 根据本句的结构分析，这个空格是主语的位置，四个选项都可以做主语，四个选项都能填进去；从意义上看，如果不考虑上下文，四个选项都对；但如果你看了下文你就可以知道应该选C, trouble做答案。从语篇考虑，从全局考虑，瞻前顾后，浏览全文，整体感知，前后连贯，固定词组，习惯搭配，结构意义等，是完形填空题的最大特色。     三、完形填空的解题思路与技巧     1、整体浏览 抓住主题     在做完形填空题前，首先要整体浏览，对全文快速阅读一遍，了解文章的大意，掌握文章的主题，并留心文中的关键词，了解这篇短文说什么，发生的时间、地点、文章的目的、作者的观点与态度等，这对于做好完形填空题能起到事半功倍的效果。因此，了解文章的主题和大意就显得十分重要。人们常说‘看书先看皮，看报先看题’，这是因为书的封面和报纸的标题都能传达一本书和一篇文章的主题。但是完形填空题所选短文一般都是没有标题的，那么要掌握文章的主题怎么办。要找到文章的主题，首先要找到文章的主题句，因为主题句就能反映文章的主题。文章总是围绕一定的主题展开的，而每一个段落则是说明主题的一个方面，概 ‎ 括了一个段落的中心思想的句子就是主题句。主题句常常出现在段首与段尾，在段首就是一段文章开头的一两句，在段尾就是文章的最后一句；因此浏览短文时，首先要细读段首与段尾；比较起来，主题句位于段首的比例更高一些，所以，首段的第一句或最后一句往往是主题句，它就是引领整篇文章的主旨，是文章的灵魂，因此要抓住不放。作者要支持自己的观点，那么第二段就是作者围绕主题展开的正文。以2000年上海市秋季高考英语试卷完形填空为例：     例 1     Bedtime stories are one of the delights of early childhood. But according to Dr. Julie Spreadbury from Queensland‎ ‎University, parents should not 61(give)up reading to their children 62(after)they enter primary school. She says listening to, reading and discussing the stories help children’s 63(development).     “My 64(research) indicates that once children can read themselves, most parents stop reading 65(to) them,” Dr. Spreadbury says.     “ 66(That) may be at the end of the Year 1,which is far too 67(early).”     Dr. Spreadbury says 68(bedtime)reading not only gives children a good start at school, but brings parents and their children closer.     “This makes it 69(easier) for them to open up and talk to parents about things that are worrying them, or things they are 70(celebrating) in their everyday life.     从上述短文我们可以看出，‘She says listening to, reading and discussing the stories help children’s 63(development).’是该短文的主题句，这是因为下面的三段都是围绕着这个主题展开的。     2、再读全篇 试填答案     许多考生都有这样的经历，做完形填空题时，一看到题目就做，结果自己感到很有把握的答案错了，问题就是对短文的内容和结构没有完整、清晰的了解和把握。因此读第二遍就显得很有必要，这样就可以使考生对短文有更好的把握。在读第二遍时，对于一眼就能看出的答案，不必纠缠，马上就填入，对于那些看看有点像，但没有把握的答案，可以开始试填，待看完第二遍时，再来看看试填的答案，如发现先前填得不对，这时应该及时更正，这时你就会比较有把握，也比较有信 心了。 以2000年上海市秋季高考英语试卷完形填空为例：     例 2     Chinese scientists are again becoming excited about the fact that a large hairy animal may live in central China. Now they hope it won’t be too long before they are able to 71(prove) its existence. Their confidence is the 72(result) of a new discovery of the mystery animal in Hubei‎ ‎Province.     Ten Chinese 73(engineers), enjoying a holiday in a National Forest Park, were driving down a road. As their bus turned a corner, the men were suddenly 74(amazed) by what they saw. Three 75(tall) animals, covered with long dark hair , were crossing the road. On seeing the animals, the engineers immediately stopped and 76(ran after) them. 77(However), when they saw how the animals moved through the forest with great 78(speed) and strength, they did not dare to follow any further. The men did not take any 79(photographs). However, scientists are 80(delighted) by the ‎ discovery, because the engineers were all very well educated people and scientists feel they can 81(rely on) what they described.     After the discovery, scientists returned to the forest and 82(collected) some hair and measured footprints. About 20 inches appears to be the length of the animal’s foot! Chinese scientists have now set up a special group to exchange information and make a 83(study) of the forest. But in the meantime, some people 84(refuse) to believe that this half-man, half-monkey exists. They will not believe that it is 85(real) until one of the animals has been caught.     71. a. prove b. analyze c. protect d. check     72. a. basis b. requirement c. result d. preparation     73. a. travelers b. engineers c. scientists d. explorers     74. a. frightened b. amazed c. upset d. inspired     75. a. trained b. rejected c. tall d. violent     76. a. shot at b. looked at c. fought with d. ran after     77. a. However b. Indeed c. Meanwhile d. Anyway     78. a. difficulty b. speed c. care d. pleasure     79. a. bullets b. tools c. medicines d. photographs     80. a. surprised b. delighted c. disturbed d. supported     81. a. rely on b. deal with c. write down d. pass on     82. a. cut b. pulled c. collected d. tore     83. a. film b. tour c. choice d. study     84. a. come b. refuse c. prefer d. have     85. a. wrong b. alive c. real d. correct     在做73题时，我们可以试选a. travelers , 因为后面有‘enjoying a holiday in a National Forest Park, were driving down a road.’ 但我们再往下读时，就会发现travelers 不对，而应该选b. engineers , 因为在第二段我们会看到‘On seeing the animals, the engineers immediately stopped…’ ，这里的the engineers显然是指the men 和ten Chinese engineers。再如74题，很多学生一开始会选a. frightened, 因为受了后面句子的影响：‘Three __75____ animals, covered with long dark hair , were crossing the road.’ 特别是受到‘covered with long dark hair’的影响。当下文的空格完成以后，我们就会发现选frightened不对，而应选b. amazed, 因为下文有 ‘On seeing the animals, the engineers immediately stopped and 76(ran after) them.’如果中国工程师们 were frightened(frighten: vt. to fill with fear; alarm充满恐惧；惊恐), 他们就不会stopped and ran after them. 所以要选amazed(astonished).这是一个非常典型的关于‘再读全篇 试填答案’的例子。当你做题目没有把握时，就先试填，待文章看完时再回过头来检查你试填的答案，这不失为做完形填空题的好方法之一。     3、瞻前顾后 寻找关联     我们在‘再读全篇，试填答案’一节中所谈的已涉及到‘瞻前顾后 寻找关联’的某些含义，但侧重‘试填’；而我们将在这里侧重谈‘瞻前顾后 寻找关联’‎ ‎。完形填空题的特点基于整个语篇的理解，不从单句入手，有时如果从某一个单句来理解，四个选项都可以填入，但从整个语篇来看，答案只有一个。一般来讲，一个学生如果具有较高语言水平，较好的文化背景知识，史地及其他知识比较丰富的话，做该题型的困难就会比较少；可容忍被挖掉的词就会多一些，反之亦然。但对于相同知识水平的学生来讲，讲究方法就尤其重要了。在做题目的时候，首先要对空格前后句子，然后对该空格相应的选项进行全面分析。通过‘瞻前顾后，寻找关联’来确定空格中的词的词性、意思、和功能。如果是功能性的空格，则要求学生填入虚词即连词、介词、冠词等，那么就应根据功能来选答案。如果是语法问题，那么就要考虑时态和语态是否符合上下文、主谓是否一致；如果是语义空格，那么则要求考生填入实词即动词、名词、形容词、副词、代词等，那么就要 通过上下文进行分析，根据文章的语义环境，做到‘瞻前顾后，寻找关联’，然后作出合理的判断。以2002年上海市秋季高考英语试卷完形填空为例：     例 3     Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn’t have done or something you didn’t do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have. There’s no 51( point) in getting depressed about it now—it’s no 52( use) crying over spilt milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly what happened and why 53(because) we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.     One thing we all do now and again is to lose our 54(temper) with a friend or close relative. The odd thing is that we more often display great 55(anger) towards someone we are fond of than towards 56(strangers) . The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to 57 (let off) a bit of steam in a safe environment, while the consequences of 58(insulting) a stranger could be far more serious.     Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue and undoubtedly this is the 59(case). On the other hand, we have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel, and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of 60(guilt) . Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?     51. a. reason b. purpose c. point d. result     52. a. use b. help c. value d. benefit     53. a. so b. because c. but d. though     54. a. mind b. memory c. manner d. temper     55. a. anger b. interest c. love d. respect     56. a. strangers b. friends c. relatives d. colleagues     57. a. run through b. throw away c. give up d. let off     58. a. inviting b. insulting c. speaking to d. believing in     59. a. issue b. case c. event d. factor     60. a. excitement b. happiness c. pride d. guilt     以做55题为例，单从这一句来看，四个选项a. anger b. interest c. love d. respect都可以填进去, 但从下文的‘we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net,’(我们把朋友和亲戚看作一种安全网。) ‘an opportunity to let off a bit of steam in safe environment’ (一种在安全环境中可以宣泄怨气的机会)。再从前文的‘The odd thing is that …(奇怪的事是…), 因此第55题可以判断选anger, 这样才能符合题义：‘‎ 奇怪的事是我们更经常地对我们喜欢的某些人发泄愤怒。’在做这个题目的时候，我们‘瞻前’又‘顾后’，所以就比较顺利。再比如做54 题，我们也可以从下文的‘we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net,’(我们把朋友和亲戚看作一种安全网。)和‘an opportunity to let off a bit of steam in safe environment’得到启示,很容易看出要选d, 以构成lose our temper的结构。根据这一原则，我们就能顺利地选出56题的答案是a, strangers, 这是因为上文提到的‘我们把朋友和亲戚看作一种安全网’，也就是说我们经常对朋友和亲戚发脾气比较安全，而对strangers发脾气的后果就比较严重， 据此我们也就能够很容易得出结论58题应该选b, insulting。我们在做完形填空题时，做到瞻前顾后，寻找关联，这样就能做到在高考中得高分。     4、完形完义 立足全局     做完形填空有两个程序：一是完形（选择选项，然后填补空白）；二是完义（阅读短文，然后理解短文）。但是完形必须在完义的基础上进行，也就是说首先要在阅读理解短文的基础上做好完形。完形必须服从完义，单句必须服从段落，段落必须服从全文，局部必须服从全局。因此，我们在做完形填空题时，不能读一句做一句，更不能看到就填，这样往往要出差错。先从整体到局部完义，再从局部到整体完形，完形完义，立足全局。以2001年上海市秋季高考英语试卷完形填空 为例：     例4     Many people find that regular physical activity gives them an unexpected benefit. They sleep better and wake up feeling more 61(refreshed) , in part due to increased amounts of deep sleep. Deep sleep may play a role in the body restoring itself 62(physically) , as opposed to REM(rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep. Researchers have found that physical exercise, especially 63(done) in the afternoon or early evening, produces more 64(deep sleep) early in the night. 65(Exercise)can also help you get a better night’s sleep in a number of indirect ways. The relaxation and tiredness 66(caused) by exercise can improve sleep.     Exercise encourages weight loss and also may 67(relieve) depression. Exercising later in the day can also help delay the 68(nighttime) drop in your body’s temperature. The 69(benefits) of exercise are especially important for older people, 70(since) exercise has been shown to increase the amount of sleep senior adults get in a night and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep.

Exercise. 再看69题，从单句的语法上看，四个选项都可以填进去，从单句的意义上看，benefits, ways, places三个选项都可以填进去，但从全文来看，特别是文章第一句的‘regular physical activity gives them an unexpected benefit’，就只有b. benefits填进去才对，而且是唯一的答案。65题和69题的做法体现了“完形必须服从完义”，“段落必须服从全文，局部必须服从全局”的原则。     5、复读全文 验证答案     我们做完形填空题的最后一道工序就是“复读全文 验证答案”。 题目做完以后，我们要把‘完形’后的全文再读一遍，看看是否‘完义’，检查自己对全文的理解是否准确，情节发展是否合理，全文前后上下是否符合逻辑，验证 自己完形的答案是否能使全文贯通流畅，如果读起来流畅而通顺，说明既完形又完义；反之，则说明我们对文章还没有完全理解，也就是说虽然‘完形’了，但还没 有‘完义’，必须重新推敲已填答案。此外，还要从语法上看句子是否主谓一致，特别要注意非谓语动词是否与主语一致，时态是否前后呼应，检查动宾搭配，动 词、形容词、名词与介词的搭配是否合理，如果发现问题，则要根据文章的主题思想、本句、本段和全文的上下文与逻辑关系，重新选择选项；如果个别选项实在没 有把握，那就根据感觉猜一个，但决不能放弃。总之，我们要从完形和完义、语法和语义等方面进行推敲，修正错误，弥补疏漏，从而使自己的答案尽可能地接近或 达到完美。‎ 完形填空专项训练 ‎（一）‎ The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to    1 students’ strong interest in computers?‎ Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different     2 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is     3 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology.    4 ,views differ on ‎ whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success     5 whether they can make use of computers effectively.‎ Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see    6 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject    7 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the    8 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it     9 to see the policy through.‎ Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to    10 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.‎ Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools    11 IT learning has just started. All teachers—including the seniors who are very     ‎12 in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to    13 from the very beginning. They will become    14 and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have     15 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching     16 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then    17 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his    18 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning    19 .   20 the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on?

Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 ,when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six ‎3 in analyzing a problem.‎ ‎ 4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.‎ Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.‎ Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.‎ After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.‎ In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.‎ Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.

efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to    1 students’ strong interest in computers?‎ Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different     2 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is     3 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology.    4 ,views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success     5 whether they can make use of computers effectively.‎ Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see    6 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject    7 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the    8 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it     9 to see the policy through.‎ Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to    10 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.‎ Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools    11 IT learning has just started. All teachers—including the seniors who are very     ‎12 in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to    13 from the very beginning. They will become    14 and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have     15 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching     16 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then    17 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his    18 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning    19 .   20 the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.‎ ‎1.A.show B.be C.match D.have ‎【解析】 句子的主语是IT learning(即：using computers to teach students)，IT learning是教师的教学行为，不可能show students’ strong interest in ‎ computers，只能是教师用计算机辅助教学与学生对计算机的浓厚兴趣相一致，故用match（find sth.like or suitable for use with相称，相配)。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎2.A.with B.to C.in D.from ‎【解析】 different与from搭配，在这里表示“教学生有关计算机的知识技能与通过使用计算机辅助教学是不同的两件事”。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎3.A.no reason B.no doubt C.no need D.no time ‎【解析】 作者先是肯定了在科技时代，信息技术作为新的教学工具起着重要作用这一事实，故用no doubt。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎4.A.However B.Therefore C.And D.So ‎【解析】 接着，用however表示转折，提出不同看法：学校能否成功地达到目标取决于他们是否能有效地使用计算机辅助教学。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎5.A.depends on B.leads to C.results in D.believes in ‎【解析】 depend on：依靠；lead to：导致；result in：造成、引起；believe in：信赖，A项符合文意。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎6.A.that B.such C.what D.how ‎【解析】 作者以中文教学为例，表明专家们在他们IT教学管理中面临着怎样的困难。what在此作连接代词，修饰difficulties，引导一个宾语从句作see的宾语。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎7.A.the usual way B.the regular way C.the best way D.the new way ‎【解析】 根据文意，教师用计算机辅助教学是一种新的教学方法。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎8.A.fact B.message C.news D.truth ‎【解析】 同位语从句中所表达的内容(执教不同学科的老师有不同的要求)是一个事实。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎9.A.easy B.helpful C.hard D.fast ‎【解析】 老师教的学科不同，要求不同，故使这一政策很难进行到底。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎10.A.sit for B.run for C.give D.attend ‎【解析】 training course应该是attend，即根据上述政策，懂得计算机知识的教师也得去参加计算机教学的培训课程。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎11.A.for which B.that C.where D.which ‎【解析】 此处用where引导一个定语从句，作school的定语，where在从句中充当地点状语。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎12.A.interested B.satisfied C.successful D.experienced ‎【解析】 此处指在教学中有经验的老教师。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎13.A.work B.start C.teach D.manage ‎【解析】 有经验的老教师面对用计算机进行教学无所适从，也得从头开始。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎14.A.pleased B.disappointed C.certain D.comfortable ‎【解析】 面对新的难题，他们感到灰心，乃至他们的教学工作也受到不好的影响。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎15.A.ordered B.improved C.encouraged D.instructed ‎【解析】 作为expert，自然应该是instruct(指导)学校去完成交给的工作(即IT learning)。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎16.A.methods B.skills C.programs D.performances ‎【解析】 performances在这里是指“教学工作”。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎17.A.make a living B.give lessons C.go to lectures D.does work ‎【解析】 作者表明：“有的教师迫于压力，将日常教学工作通过计算机来进行，是为了服从IT teaching所规定的时间要求，而后又用老办法上课。”‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎18.A.work-mates B.headmasters C.instructors D.students ‎【解析】 从四个选项中可以判断，A、B、C三项都不是老师的做法。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎19.A.skills B.experiences C.duties D.methods ‎【解析】 再者，有的教师为了完成他的IT教学任务，课外作业也让学生在课堂上通过计算机去做。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎20.A.As B.So long as C.Even though D.As far as ‎【解析】 as far as常与be concerned搭配，表示“就……而言”。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎（二）‎ Tim Becker and his neighbors are doing something to make their neighborhood a trouble-free area.‎ When Tim Becker gets in his car to go shopping, he doesn’t    1 drive to a store and back home. He always looks    2 up and down the streets of his neighborhood. He looks for anything ‎ 3 such as strange cars, loud noises, 4 windows, or people gathering on street comers.‎ Tim 5 to a neighborhood watch group in Stoneville‎, Indiana, ‎USA.

We keep watch on the neighborhood at night and on weekends. Usually a 16 of four or five of us goes out together. If something doesn’t look right, then we call the 17 .For example, if we notice a group of teenagers who seem to be looking for 18 ,or someone destroying property, we report to the police.”‎ Alex feels the neighborhood watch groups  19 a lot in keeping crime down. Her husband Jim agrees,“Police are good people, but they can’t do 20 .”‎ ‎1.A.yet B.still C.just D.rather ‎【解析】 本题考查副词词义辨析及学生依据语境选用恰当副词的能力。从后面的句子可以知道Tim Becker去买东西时不只是从家到商店直来直去，而是还要在居民区里巡视，所以应选用副词just。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎2.A.carefully　 B.clearly C.nervously D.coldly ‎【解析】 本题考查学生根据上下文判断并选择恰当副词来修饰动词的能力。学生此处要考虑Tim是怎样在居民区巡视的，从整篇文章可以看出，Tim对居民区的保卫工作很负责任，同时下面一句也讲到他对发生的任何可疑情况都很注意，所以可以判定Tim总是“looks carefully”，而不是其他。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎3.A.familiar B.unusual C.expensive D.interesting ‎【解析】 本题考查考生根据上下文对所给形容词做出判断选择的能力。Tim是为了社区安全进行巡视，应注意一些可疑情况，且后面举的例子也是一些反常情况，属于“unusual”。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎4.A.curtained B.open C.old D.broken ‎【解析】 本题考查学生根据上下文进行判断选择的能力，前面提到的“anything unusual”为本题设立了前提，那么选A、B、C，即“拉着窗帘的窗户、开着的窗户、旧的窗户”都不属于“unusual”，而选择D，“打破的窗户”应为最佳答案。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎5.A.attends B.belongs C.goes D.turns ‎【解析】 本题考查动词词意的辨析。Tim与watch group的关系应是其中的一个成员，因此应选“belong to，属于”。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎6.A.meets B.quarrels C.sings D.searches ‎【解析】 本题考查根据上下文做出判断及动词词意的辨析。此题的提示在后面一句，即“…Tim gets together with…”，所以本句应理解为“社区巡视组的成员每月的第三个星期三会面一次。” ‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎7.A.where B.why C.when D.how ‎【解析】 本题考查学生对文章的准确理解并做出判断的能力。句中“that”一词对此题的选择至关重要，that指“每月第三个星期三会面”，接下来应理解为“那是Tim和其他成员交流讨论情况的时间”。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎8.A.politics B.wealth C.health D.safety ‎【解析】 本题考查学生词意辨析和根据上下文进行判断的能力。如果学生能知道四个名词的意思，此题应该比较容易。根据文章的整体意思，显然他们讨论的是社区安全问题。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎9.A.keep B.hold C.let D.protect ‎【解析】 本题考查学生动词词意辨析及对句子的准确理解的能力。根据文章意思，巡视组应是帮助警察维护社区的安全，即“keep…safe”，此题的干扰项是D，如果用“protect，保护”，虽然意思也正确，但不需要句子后面的safe，两个词意思重复。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎10.A.its B.his C.their D.your ‎【解析】‎ ‎ 本题考查学生对句子的准确理解及判断的能力。此题的干扰项是B，如果选B，意思便是Tim的居住区，而Tina（注意Tina是女的）是这个巡视组的组长，也应住在此居民区，所以应该用“their，他们的居民区”。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎11.A.round B.on C.about D.to ‎【解析】 本题考查学生对一些句型的掌握及句意的理解。本句的意思是“人们好像觉得犯罪（案件）只是发生在别人身上，而不是发生在他们自己身上”。此处承前面的动词happen，因此应该选“to”。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎12.A.right B.chance C.courage D.mind ‎【解析】 本题考查学生对词意的辨析及阅读理解能力。此句的意思是“我认为任何人都没有权力去偷别人的东西或是使得别人坐在家都觉得不安全。”这里选用“任何人都没有机会／勇气／想法 ……”都是不合适的。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎13.A.unlucky B.unsafe C.disappointed D.discouraged ‎【解析】 本题考查根据上下文判断句意。如果有被偷窃的可能，人们或许也会感到不幸、失望或泄气，但本篇文章讲的是关于社区安全，所以选择感到不安全，更符合上下文的意思。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎14.A.set B.let C.hold D.look ‎【解析】 本题考查学生对一些常用动词短语的掌握。set out意为“出发”，let out意为“发出”，hold out意为“举出”，look out意为“小心”。根据上下文判断，D为正确答案。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎15.A.care B.enter C.watch D.manage ‎【解析】‎ ‎ 本题考查动词词意辨析及在具体语境中的使用。根据上下文，最佳选择应是watch，意为“巡视、留意（彼此的家）”，而不是“介意”“进入”或“经营”（彼此的家）。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎16.A.group B.set C.number D.crowd ‎【解析】 本题考查的是一组名词的词意辨析。后面的“four or five of us”决定了应是“a group of，一小组／一小队”，而不是“a set of，一套”“a number of，若干个”或“a crowd of，一大群”。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎17.A.judges B.police C.firemen D.doctors ‎【解析】 本题考查学生根据上下文进行推理判断的能力。此题的提示在后面一句“For example，if…，we report to the police.”这里的“For example”即把本题句子的内容具体化了，所以应选择“call the police”，而不是其他。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎18.A.work B.burden C.service D.trouble ‎【解析】 本题考查学生根据上下文进行推理判断的能力。因为“we report to the police”，所以应是出现一些不良现象或犯罪情况，如：“someone destroying poverty”，因此应选择“look for trouble”，选项B的意思是“负担”，此处也不合适。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎19.A.produce B.find C.get D.help ‎【解析】 本题考查学生对文章的理解能力和根据上下文进行判断的能力。根据上下文，特别是后面一句中“agree”一词，说明Alex和她丈夫的观点是一致的，因此19、20两题相互提示、相互补充，那么在19题中应理解为“巡视小组对减少犯罪有很大帮助”，而不是“产生很多（A）”“发现很多（B）”，或“得到很多（C）”。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎20.A.anything B.evening C.harm D.wrong ‎【解析】 本题考查学生根据上下文进行推理判断的能力。前面讲到巡视小组对控制犯罪帮助很大，此处接着阐述这一观点，即“警察（在维护治安中）很重要，但他们不可能做好一切。” ‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎（三）‎ People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 ,when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six ‎3 in analyzing a problem.‎ ‎ 4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.‎ Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.‎ Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.‎ After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.‎ In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.‎ Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.‎ ‎1.A.serious B.usual C.similar D.common ‎【解析】 从上文的提示“try to remember a solution from the last time”，表明人们一旦遇上类似的问题，首先想到的是上次碰到这类问题的解决办法。只有问题“类似”，才会想到“上一次”的办法。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎2.A.Besides B.Instead C.Otherwise D.However ‎【解析】 下文用however表示转折，表明作者观点：有时靠老办法往往不灵，于是人们便开始分析问题，寻找新的解决途径。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎3.A.ways B.conditions C.stages D.orders ‎【解析】‎ ‎ 从下文的列举看，作者讲的是解决问题的六个阶段，且层层深入(stage：a period in a course of events)，而不是在阐述解决问题的六个办法、条件、顺序。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎4.A.First B.Usually ‎ C.In general D.Most importantly ‎【解析】 下文next，finally等表明作者在列举分析问题、解决问题的几个步骤，故填first(首先)，与下文呼应。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎5.A.explain B.prove C.show D.see ‎【解析】 作为分析的第一步，Sam必须查看自行车的毛病出在哪儿。see在此的含义是：examine or recognize by looking。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎6.A.check B.determine C.correct D.recover ‎【解析】 determine在这里意为“断定、确定”的意思，因为只有断定哪个部分有问题，才会找到针对性的解决办法。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎7.A.answers B.skills C.explanation D.information ‎【解析】 下文he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes，talked to his friends at the bike shop，表明Sam是在查找有关自行车修理的资料和信息。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎8.A.possible B.exact C.real D.special ‎【解析】 此时的解决方案尚未确定，故只能是possible solutions，下文a possible solution有暗示。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎9.A.In other words B.Once in a while C.First of all D.At this time ‎【解析】 at this time表示Sam断定车闸出了毛病的同时即查找修理车闸的资料。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎10.A.look for B.talk to C.agree with D.depend on ‎【解析】 此处用talk to表明Sam与自行车店的朋友通过交谈了解修理自行车车闸的有关资料、信息。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎11.A.discussing B.settling down C.comparing with D.studying ‎【解析】 上文Sam所做的一切均属于studying(学习、研究)的行为。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎12.A.extra B.enough C.several D.countless ‎【解析】 下文所举的tighten or loosen the brakes；buy new brakes and change the old ones表明此处应填several。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎13.A.secondly B.again C.also D.alone ‎ ‎【解析】 作者再次以Sam修自行车为例，说明确定问题所在之后如何解决问题，有一些意见、建议可供选择。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎14.A.suggestion B.conclusion C.decision D.discovery ‎【解析】 上文表明有一些建议可供选择，但最终导致解决问题似乎只有其中的一条。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎15.A.next B.clear C.final D.new ‎【解析】 从下文举例看，有时导致解决问题最后的主意纯属意外。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎16.A.unexpectedly B.late C.clearly D.often ‎【解析】 上文提到Sam解决自行车车闸问题有几条建议可供选择：拧紧或放松车闸，买新车闸，更换旧车闸，这时Sam突然发现车闸不灵的原因是一块口香糖将车闸粘住了，最终导致解决问题的办法便是意料之外了。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎17.A.simple B.different C.quick D.sudden ‎【解析】 车闸问题的意外发现使Sam立即采取了完全不同的解决办法(既非拧紧或放松车闸，亦非更换车闸)。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎18.A.fortunately B.easily C.clearly D.immediately ‎【解析】 发现了问题的症结所在，解决问题便当机立断，毫不迟疑。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎19.A.clean B.separate C.loosen D.remove ‎【解析】 既然口香糖粘住了车闸，只需清洗干净就可解决问题。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎20.A.recorded B.completed C.tested D.accepted ‎【解析】 Sam的解决办法经过“检验(test)”获得了成功，他的问题解决了。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎（四）‎ He has been called the “missing link”.Half-man, half-beast.

Most believe the footprints are nothing more than 11 animal tracks, which had been made 12 as they melted and refroze in the snow. 13 ,in 1964,a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was 14 and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans. But, 15 ,no evidence has ever 16 been produced.‎ These days, only a few people continue to take the story of Abominable Snowman 17 ,but if they ever 18 catching one, they may face a real 19 : Would they put it in a 20 or give it a room in a hotel?‎ ‎1.A.event B.story C.adventure D.description ‎【解析】 四个选项均为名词，都可以填入空白处作句子的主语，但从该段叙述的多年来人们关于生存在喜马拉雅山上的雪人的传说及下文Over the years,the story of the Yetis has continued.和These days,only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman seriously.就不难看出此空应填story。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎2.A.centuries B.too long C.some time D.many years ‎【解析】 短文大部分描述的是多年来人们对于世界最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰上有关雪人存在的传说、考察和猜想，文中Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest及In 1916,Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest.等信息，则清楚地说明了此空应填many years。‎ ‎【答案】 Ｄ ‎3.A.heard from B.cared for C.knew of D.read about ‎【解析】 四个选项的短语动词所表达的意思不同。hear from接到……的信；cared for关心、照顾、喜欢；know of知道，听说（不一定见过或认识）；read about 谈到，获悉。短文第二段中they said that they had 4 caught Yetis on two occasions 5 none has ever been produced as evidence（证据)说明了人们对珠穆朗玛峰上雪人的存在只不过是听说而已，却拿不出任何证据，自然最佳答案应该选Ｃ了。‎ ‎【答案】 Ｃ ‎4.A.even B.hardly C.certainly D.probably ‎【解析】 上文20世纪20年代的登山者报告，在珠穆朗玛峰坡上发现了像人脚印一样的足迹。当地人听说过这种动物并给其起名为“雪人”。这里they said that they had caught Yetis on two occasions 是当地人叙述雪人存在的一种更为真实的情况，因此此空应填副词even,意思是“甚至”，用来加强语气，强调谓语动词，故最佳答案选A。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎5.A.as B.though C.when D.until ‎【解析】 主句中叙述了they had even caught Yetis on two occasions,从句none has ever been produced as evidence则否定了上述情况的真实性，表示的是让步意义，故此空应填though,引导一个让步状语从句。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎6.A.developed B.changed C.occurred D.continued ‎【解析】 四个选项的过去分词都可以和助动词has构成现在完成时态，从单句看很难选择。短文第二段叙述了Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest及下文In 1916,Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest则说明了珠穆朗玛峰上雪人故事的发展情况，故此空应填 continued。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎7.A.entirely B.naturally C.clearly D.simply ‎【解析】 根据四个选项的副词意思判断，如果填入前三个，则在某种程度上肯定了Eric Shipton 在珠穆朗玛峰雪地里所拍摄的足迹是猴子或熊留下的。这与下文the Abominable snowman might really exist.所表达的意思不符，所以此空只能填 simply。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎8.A.found B.declared C.felt D.doubted ‎【解析】 四个选项均为动词的过去式，但只有felt 意为“感到”，不仅表示感官知觉，还表示情感或想法，且能与前一个谓语动词believed 所表达的意思相吻合。两个并列的谓语动词后各带一个宾语从句，叙述了Shipton由拍照珠穆朗玛峰雪地里的足迹联想到雪人存在的可能性，故C为最佳选项。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎9.A.exist B.escape C.disappear D.return ‎【解析】 四个选项所表达的意思不同:exist 存在；escape逃跑；disappear消失；return返回。由前一个宾语从句that they were not simply the tracks of the a monkey or ‎ bear可以判断出此空应填exist,即Shipton 认为在珠穆朗玛峰上，雪人很可能真正存在。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎10.A.clearer B.more C.possible D.rare ‎ ‎【解析】 短文第二段叙述了Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest。我们再根据该空所在段的首句Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis及下文Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ordinary animal tracks 就可以判断出此空应填more,说明人们在弄清雪人真相的努力中，所发现的唯一东西仅仅是更多的脚印，故此空应填more。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎11.A.huge B.recent C.ordinary D.frightening ‎【解析】 由下文However,in 1964,a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was real 可以推测出，此空应填形容词ordinary,说明大多数人认为，他们发现的更多的脚印，只不过是普通动物的足迹。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎12.A.strange B.large C.deep D.rough ‎【解析】 此句which 引导的非限制性定语从句中，含有一个原因状语从句。As they melted and refroze in the snow清楚地阐述了人们发现的更多的脚印要比普通的动物足迹大的原因。此空应填形容词large,在定语从句中作主语补足语。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎13.A.In the end B.Therefore C.After all D.However ‎【解析】 空白后1964年，俄罗斯科学家说的the Abominable Snowman was real and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans与上句说的大部分人相信脚印只不过是普通动物的足迹，不承认雪人的存在所表示的是转折关系，故此空应填副词However,表转折。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎14.A.imagined B.real C.special D.familiar ‎ ‎【解析】 前句叙述了Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ordinary animal tracks,我们再根据However所表示的转折意义，就不难判断出此空应填形容词real。一位俄国科学家认为雪人是真的。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎15.A.so B.besides C.again D.instead ‎【解析】 短文第二段叙述了登山者报告，发现了在珠穆朗玛峰坡有像人脚印的足迹，当地人把这种动物称之为雪人，他们还说甚至于两次捉到了雪人，事实是none has ever been produced as evidence。短文第四段又叙述了1964年，一位俄国科学家说雪人是真的，并且与史前的人类继续存在着联系。由but所表示的转折意义及空白后no evidence has ever actually been produced可以判断出，此空应填副词again,在句中作插入语，说明俄罗斯科学家所说的雪人的存在，又一次没有得到真实存在的证据。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎16.A.rightly B.actually C.normally D.particularly ‎【解析】 四个选项的副词填在句中作状语修饰谓语动词语法都正确，但是根据上文中 一句肯定了雪人的存在，以及根据空白所在句子中but所表示的转折意义和again 一词对雪人存在证据的再次否定，就不难判断出此空应填actually。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎17.A.lightly B.jokingly C.seriously D.properly ‎【解析】 上文叙述了登山者及当地人认为珠穆朗玛峰雪人的存在，并对弄清雪人的真实情况作了进一步的努力，还有一些外国人也认为雪人是真的，但都只不过是传说和猜测而已，谁也拿不出真凭实据。我们再根据空白前的语境，可以体会出当今人们对有关雪人的故事已经冷淡下来，仅有很少的人认真对待此事，故此空应填副词seriously,意为“严肃地”“认真地”。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎18.A.succeed in B.insist on C.depend on D.join in ‎【解析】 四个选项均为“动词+介词”构成的短语动词，其后都能跟动名词作宾语，填在句中语法都正确，但它们所表达的意义都不同：succeed in做成某事； insist on坚持；depend on依靠；join in参加。由该句的主句they may face a real problem:Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?可以推断出，条件状语从句所假定的是成功地捉住了雪人，无疑答案应选A。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎19.A.decision B.situation C.subject D.problem ‎【解析】 四个选项的名词填入句中作宾语语法都正确，但短文末句Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel？则清楚地告诉我们，究竟把雪人放在何处？这是捉住雪人的人们所面临的一个难以抉择的真实问题，故此空应填problem。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎20.A.zoo B.mountain C.museum D.laboratory ‎【解析】 四个选项均为表示处所的名词，填入哪个选项正确很难做出抉择。我们读了短文第一段就可以知道，人们对这种被认为生活在世界最高山峰珠穆朗玛峰的所谓雪人，究竟属于人类还是属于动物还没有明确地划分出来。如果“雪人”划归人类，应该give it a room in a hotel;如果把“雪人”划归动物，自然应该放到动物园里去生活了，故此空应填zoo。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎（五）‎ ‎45-49 CBDAB

once,or maybe twice.‎ ‎1.A.say B.talk C.share D.explain ‎【解析】 从上下文意思分析，此处表示下文将要向大家介绍一下我的learning experience。与大家共同分享，所以用share。say在此具有较强的干扰性，主要是受汉语的影响。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎2.A.as B.while C.then D.when ‎【解析】 此处应根据句型结构去选择答案。be doing sth.when sth.else happened为英语的固定句型结构，表示“正在做某事，这时另一件事发生了”的意思。在这一结构中，连词必须用when，或者用and at this time。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎3.A.lost B.tired C.hungry D.anxious ‎【解析】

D.giving ‎【解析】 此处表示“向……妥协”的意思，故用give in短语。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎18.A.free B.cheap C.plain D.delicious ‎【解析】 根据上文的意思，那个pizza没有付钱，当然是“免费的”。‎ ‎【答案】 A ‎19.A.make B.wake C.catch D.put ‎【解析】 此处表示“即使你摆脱了，你的良心也会陪伴着你”。catch up with表示“追赶上”的意思。‎ ‎【答案】 C ‎20.A.coward B.fool C.loser D.hero ‎【解析】 根据上一句的saying的意思判断，此处作者把自己比喻成了coward和hero时的心理感受。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎（十八）‎ A king cobra is an ugly-looking snake

根据语境，被蛇咬已经过去了很长一段时间，为争取时间抢救生命，到了医院，理应迅速地把我送进手术室。rush在此为及物动词，“急送”的意思。因对该词的词性把握不准而容易误选A、C两项。‎ ‎【答案】 B ‎12.A.gave B.operated C.got D.made ‎ ‎【解析】 此处为固定的动词与名词的搭配用法。‎ ‎【答案】 D ‎13.A.talk B.smile C.eyes

I was a child,and I had 10 of gardening then.It was my father’s hobby,you see.Unfortunately,he wasn’t 11 enough to do it himself.My brother and I did all of it between us year after year.There was one right way and many wrong ways.Each blade （叶片）of grass was an enemy to be 12 by hand,not just cut off.I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”‎ ‎“I see.You took a dislike to it,and now you’re getting even!”‎ ‎“I dislike it.Then,of course,I didn’t understand the 13 it had.It used to 14 me.It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here,something not quite straight here,the enemy showing its head in

her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and, using her hands to 36 the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he'd told her was 37 . Then she settled in, 38 her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg.‎ ‎ It had been a year since Susan, 34, became 39 . Due to a medical misdiagnosis, she was suddenly 40 into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Mark, her husband , 41 her to work each day, even though they worked at 42 ends of the city. Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn't 43 .Susan had to start taking the bus again. Just as he predicted, Susan was 44 at the idea of taking the bus again. "How am I 45 to know where I am going? I feel like you're abandoning me. "she responded bitterly. Mark taught her how to rely on her other 46 , specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to 47 to her new environment. Monday morning arrived, they went their 48 ways for the first time.‎ ‎ On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying, the driver said, "I sure do 49 you." Curious, she asked the driver, "Why do you say that you envy me?"‎ ‎ The driver responded, "It must feel 50 to be taken care of and protected like you are." "What do you mean?" she asked.‎ ‎ The driver answered, "You know, every morning for the past week, a fine- looking gentleman in a military uniform has been 51 across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street 52 and he watches until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away." Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. For 53 she couldn't physically see him, she had always felt Mark's presence. He had given her a gift more powerful than 54 , a gift she didn't need to see to 55 ——the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.‎ ‎36. A. feel B. use C. draw D. control ‎37.

It is   1   to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to and   2   other people as equals. A down-to-earth person is just the   3   of someone who acts important and proud.‎ Down-to-earth persons   4   be important members of society, of course.   5  they do not let their importance “go to their heads”. They do not   6   themselves to be better persons than others of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, often without cause, is   7   to have “his nose in the air”. There is   8   way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.‎ Americans   9   another expression that means almost the same as “down-to-earth”. The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”. Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person with a good   10   of reality. He   11   what is called “common sense”. He may have   12  , but he does not allow them to   13   his knowledge of what is real.‎ The opposite kind of   14   is one who has his “head-in-the-clouds”. A man with his-head-in-the-clouds is a dreamer whose   15   is not in the real world.‎ ‎   16  , such a dreamer can be brought back to earth.   17   words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.‎ Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very   18   to have both feet on-the –ground.‎ ‎  19   we have both our feet on-the –ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act honestly and openly   20   others.

His   1   are mostly bank managers, business executives, airline pilots and the   2  , but Max's seven-bedroom house —  3    $ 80,000 — is the largest in the area.   4   outside the house are Max's $ 7000 sports car and his wife's Morris Mini.   5  is a 150 colour TV set and the family's   6   — a circular bath with gold-plated taps.
