专题二 完形填空 ‎【备考策略】‎ ‎1 考情分析 ‎2 解题技巧 ‎2011版高中英语二轮专题复习学案：专题二 完形填空之记叙类（1）（新课标）‎ ‎【考点分类突破】‎ 记叙文 ‎【体裁诠释】‎ ‎ 记叙文分为记事和记人两种形式。主要包括事件叙述、故事、幽默、名人传记等。‎ ‎ 1. 记叙方式多样。通常为了叙述方便，作者会按时间先后顺序或空间顺序等方式来安排情节和内容。这类文章条理清楚，层次分明。读者也较容易理解和接受。但有时为了突出某个情节或为了增加阅读趣味，或为了其他目的，作者可能会采用插叙，甚至倒叙的写作手法。‎ ‎ 在阅读时，先浏览全文，判断出文章的叙述方式，以便抓住文章的主线，理清文章的脉络。然后依据文章信息，了解文章内容的来龙去脉，进而达到对文意的透彻理解，这样才能做出合理的选择。‎ ‎ 2. 记叙文往往有较强的故事趣味性，有情节的跌宕起伏和情感的细腻变化等特点，信息量很大。作者在叙述过程中往往会融入人物的语言、行为、心理的描写，这在一定程度上增加了考生理解文章的难度。这时，必须理清上下文的脉络，对人物的语言、行为、心理等给出合理的想像和推理，并仔细揣摩作者的用意，从而透彻理解文意，达到对语境的准确理解，进而做出合理的选择。‎ ‎ 3. ‎ 命题倾向于注重短文本身的教育意义或选取记叙具有特殊个性品质的人物故事，给人以启迪或鼓舞；作者有时在记叙过程中或记叙结束后发表自己的看法和感受。因此只有借助上下文乃至全文的语境才能揣摩作者的心境，及其对各个角色、各个事件的态度。在答题过程中，除了要把握关联词语，还要把握语气、动作等的描写，以期与作者达到共鸣。‎ ‎【典例探究】‎ ‎（2010·山东卷） 世纪金榜 It was a cool October evening.

Thank you, Mrs. McNamara. ‎ 答案 ‎1、【文章大意】‎ 我家后面的小路曲径通幽，那路“我”和狗常走。为了探索新的路径，狗竟将我带到了很远很远的地方，最后是一位老人驱车送我们回家。小狗的聪明好动跃然纸上。‎ ‎【答案解释】‎ B。由第二段第一句Beans is a white dog可知，此处选B（dog）。‎ C。由第四段最后一句The sniffing and exploring was going well for him可知，Beans经常“探索（explore）”只有他才知道的某一原因，故选C。‎ A。根据下一句：他不仅能理解我们告诉他的，而且……，可判断Beans的确很聪明（smart），所以选A。‎ D。由前面的makes sounds可知，Beans好象是要向后面的我“表达（speak）”什么，故该选D。‎ B。由前面的trail (小径) 可知，我以为Beans又会把我领到那条熟悉的“小路（path）”。A（车道）、C（十字路口）、D（公路）均不合语境。‎ A。由后面的… take me home以及… I 47 that Beans probably knew all along how to get home可知，我突然意识到Beans很可能“知道（knew）”回家的路。显然就该选A了。‎ D。很“明显（apparent）”我们变得茫然了。‎ B。由第一段第二句… through untold miles of forest可知，此空该填B（forest）。‎ A。后一句话提到Beans颇有嗅探能力，所以Beans是完全“不担心的（unconcerned）”。‎ C。最后我们“来到（came to）”十字路口，唯C符合语境。‎ D。我们是按照Lady Luck的指点走的，所以“很快（shortly）”就到达了一座村舍。‎ C。从我们的冒险经历看，我“断定（concluded）”Beans很可能始终知道回家的路，他只是在探索新路径中找到了太多的快乐而已。所以选C是合适的。‎ ‎2、【文章大意】本文叙述了Alice 在回家路上的一次奇特的经历。‎ ‎36.

(常用于句首)大体而言,概括说...probably 很可能。‎ ‎53. 【解析】选D。从后面的around 2,000可知词典中用于解释词义的词量是有限的。limited 有限的；extra 额外的；average平均的，普通的；total 总的。‎ ‎54. 【解析】选A。在有限的范围内，查阅阅读释义的话，就会反复接触基本词汇、学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点，所以用repeatedly表示“反复地，经常地”，nearly 几乎；immediately 立刻，马上；anxiously 着急地。‎ ‎55. 【解析】选D。下文的“我能用英语更流利地表达自己”应是“因为”使用了这本词典的缘故。because of 因为；according to 根据；in relation to 与…有关系；in addition to 除此之外，而且。‎ ‎4、【文章大意】作者一开始对于街头艺人的行乞不屑一顾，但是当作者看到这位街头艺人是在为地震灾区募捐的那一刻，改变了一个自负的“我”。‎ ‎26.【解析】选A。由下文可知，作者上街去买东西吃去了，所以应是离开办公室。‎ ‎27.【解析】选C。在路上，作者看见了一个街头艺人。lead “带领”； choose“选择”；fool“愚弄”，从上下文中均没有信息提示。‎ ‎28. 【解析】选B。由下文可知作者口袋里装的应该是钱，但是他不会给这位街头艺人。‎ ‎29.【解析】选B。由语境可知作者不愿意把钱给这名街头艺人，他认为艺人只会拿这些钱去过毒瘾或酒瘾。only“只，仅”符合语境。almost“几乎，差不多”， rather “相当”，still“仍然，仍旧；更”均不符合语境。‎ ‎30.【解析】选B。下面的young and ragged都是外表，应该用look like “看起来像”。‎ ‎31. 【解析】选D。由下文可知作者不想把钱给这个艺人，但又不知怎么花才好，所以应用表示转折的连词but。though 表让步，for表原因，therefore表结果。‎ ‎32. 【解析】选B。这里是作者的心理活动，接着作者意识到不能因为对方是个街头艺人就凌驾于他之上。realize“意识到”符合语境。declare“宣布”，expect“期望”，guess“猜想”。‎ ‎33. 【解析】选C。him指的是那个艺人。‎ ‎34. 【解析】选C。由下文可知作者进行了思想斗争之后，应该是停下来把钱放进……。文章中并没有提到捐钱的人很多，所以不用等待，也不用跟在别人后面，就在街上，也不用到达。‎ ‎35. 【解析】选B。由上文可知艺人前面放了一顶帽子，是供观众往里投钱用的。‎ ‎36. 【解析】选A。文章开头作者就提到他活得很自私，所以这儿他出了钱，就想着有所回报。awkward “笨拙的，局促的”，innocent“无辜的，清白的”，special“特别的；专门的”。‎ ‎37. 【解析】选A。作者投钱之后期待的是一种快乐和满足感。‎ ‎38. 【解析】选A 。但是作者并没有得到那种感觉，所以作者应是失望地走开了。unfortunately“不幸地”，coincidentally“碰巧，巧合”，comfortably“舒适地”。‎ ‎39. 【解析】选D 。作者投了钱，但并没有获得快乐和满足，所以作者认为“这证明是浪费钱”。words“话语”，effort“努力”，space“空间”。‎ ‎40. 【解析】选B。上一段提到作者失望地走了，又由on my way home可知下面的一幕发生在作者下午下班回家的路上，时间应是天快要黑的时候，所以应选B项。moment“时刻”，break“暂停，休息”，event“事件”。‎ ‎41. 【解析】选C。因为天快要黑了，所以当作者再次看到那个艺人的时候，他正在装箱打包准备离开。pack up “装箱打包”，符合语境。walk around“四处走动”， passing by“经过”，run off“排出，流出”。‎ ‎42. 【解析】选D。后面的宾语是a cafe counter(一家餐馆的柜台)，所以应选D，walk to “朝……走去“。‎ ‎43. 【解析】选D。在这家餐馆的柜台前，他把挣到的所有的钱都倒进……total “全体的，总计的”，符合语境，chief “主要的，首要的”，basic“基本的”，actual“实际的，现实的”。‎ ‎44. 【解析】选B。for在这里表目标或用途，意为为地震募捐资金的募捐箱。‎ ‎45. 【解析】选D。作者由于受到这个艺人的大公无私，乐于奉献的精神的感染，应该是把身上所有的零钱都投进募捐箱。‎ ‎5、【文章大意】三位女士在作者十二岁那年圣诞节赠送给作者礼物的善举激励着着作者在今天也做出了相同的行为 。 ‎ ‎21. 选B。从后面的“家里钱不多 ”可以得知，今年得不到圣诞礼物。所以选B。‎ ‎22. 选C。从后面的“回到学校不再感到难堪”，可以知道是别人问我圣诞节得到了什么礼物。只有get表示“得到”.‎ ‎23. 选D。正当我准备接受得不到圣诞礼物的事实时，三个女人来到我家。‎ ‎24. 选C。三个女人带着圣诞礼物来到我家，turn up 表示“出现，露面”，符合语境。‎ ‎25. 选A。她们给我带来了一个布娃娃，所以我感到以后到学校就不会再尴尬了，因而产生了心情舒缓的感觉。relief, 舒缓，放松，符合语境要求。‎ ‎26. 选C。我没有被忘记，还有人在惦念着我。这点也可以从文章的倒数第二句话“I wasn't forgotten.”中看出来。所以，选择forgotten。‎ ‎27. 选D。有人想着我给我送礼物。think enough of 为固定短语，表示“时刻想着、惦念”，符合语境要求。‎ ‎28. 选B。来到新家后的第一个圣诞节如何过得更独特更有纪念意义，所以选first。‎ ‎29. 选B。正当我思考时，我立刻就想起了我12岁那年到我家造访的那三个女人。instantly 立刻、马上,符合语境要求。‎ ‎30. 选C。因此我就决定要让尽可能多的孩子感到他们是重要的，别人始终在想着他们。importance 符合语境要求。‎ ‎31. 选C。我提出一个计划并召集了公司40个人来参与。come up with 提出、想出，符合语境要求。‎ ‎32. 选D。每个包装纸上都贴有孩子的名字，以和前面的every 信息照应。‎ ‎33. 选B。 和前面的信息“special and memorable”照应，所以此处选择B项。‎ ‎34. 选A。在把礼物发给孩子们之前，我提醒孩子们不要打开礼物。remind 提醒，符合语境要求。‎ ‎35. 选B。直到每个孩子都到了再打开礼物包装。此处为固定句型“not…until”，直到……才， 符合语境要求。 ‎ ‎36. 选C。孩子们一直等待想打开礼物的时刻到来了，the moment 那个时刻，符合语境要求。 ‎ ‎37. 选A。孩子们打开了礼物，兴奋的神情和灿烂的笑容立刻充盈整个房间。light up 把…...照亮，熏染，符合语境要求。‎ ‎38. 选D。和前面信息“their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room”一致，所以此处应该为“快乐 ”。‎ ‎39. 选A。和后面的“It was a feeling”一致，所以此处应该为it。‎ ‎40. 选D。这种感觉是从多年前得到三个女人送给我圣诞礼物时就有的。from 从…,表示来源。‎ ‎6、【文章大意】本文主要讲述了Mrs. McNamara老师对作者生活有深远影响的故事。‎ ‎1.
