The 46 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 47 their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very 48 of communicating without speaking 49 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 50 .This newness just left me 51 more.
After that, feeling the need to 52 further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club`s meetings. I only learned how to 53 the alphabet that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my 54 progress,I was excited. I then made it a point to 55 those meetings and learn all I could.
The following term, I 56 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 57 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 58 , if there had been any talking, it would have 59 us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 60 way of communication it opens.

【名师点睛】
“记叙文”类完形填空主要包括幽默故事、名人传记、事件叙述等。文中以叙述为主,通过人物之间的对话来反映人们对事件的看法及其起因。叙述上多半用平述的形式,很少加入作者的评论。 因此如果对文章上下文情景把握不住,就会失分。为了减少失分率,考生可以参考以下几点:
1、首先读懂文章的首句,把握全篇,弄清文章要讲什么。
完形填空一般没有标题,读懂第一句很关键。第一句一般不留空,是个完整的句子,整篇文窜的信息从此句开始。因此读好第一句不仅能够把握文章要讲什么内容,而且也可能把握作者的写作态度。因此,考生最好在读完第一句话后,不要急于看下一句,而是应先根据首句内容,对下文所要出现的故事进行一下推测,这有利于靠近作者的思路,避免走弯路。根据文章第一段的第一句While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life,college sets the stage for that exploration.可知作者在大学期间探索某些东西。所以第41题I myself went through this 41 process划线处应该填searching,和前文中的exploration呼应。
2、先通读全文,掌握大意,理清各种角色。
记叙文一般有两个或两个以上的角色,作者对这些角色的态度各不一样,即使同样—件事发生在不同人身上作者也可能采用不同的写作描述。
3、理顺事件的发生、发展、结局
记叙文的多项选择式完形填空题多半以事情发展的顺序进行叙述。正确把握文章的发展顺序对于把握文章的主旨有着重要的意义,因此在选择答案时可以先理情人物的关系及各自所做的事情。
例如第57题The professor was deaf and any talking was 57 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant.可知作者参加报名上手语课,教授的耳朵是听不见的,这是符合情理的。按照事情的发展,考生可以推测课堂上讲话应该是不允许的。所以选择A选项prohibit,表示“禁止”。

本篇完形填空很好地体现出重在考查语篇理解能力,且不在情节上、词汇考查大做文章的趋势。其中对于语篇的上下文复现考查非常之多。 语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象,如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现,结构同现,同义同现,修饰同现,因果同现等。因此,利用上下文寻找解题信息,确定正确答案。如:
I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his 52 from high school and remained the same 53 person I met forty years before .
A.daring B.modest C.caring D.smart
考点:考查记叙文阅读

完型填空题的命题特点及答题方法:
1.侧重基础知识,考查学生语言知识的能力
完型填空以文入手,结合文章的内容考查学生的基础知识,主要是词语搭配、固定句型、近义词辨析、辨析句子结构、掌握语法规则的能力,其中考查实词居多。比如最后一题who are making a 55 in the world. 根据选项提供的词马上就可以判断此处为固定短语:make a difference:起作用,有影响,选D。
2.上下文对照,考查学生捕捉关键词的能力
解完型填空题时,单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的,需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。所谓上下对照,即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此,在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力,捕捉关键词。
3.设置语境,考查学生的分析推理能力
旨在考查学生在选项都符合语法及句子结构的情况下能否利用前后语境去推断出正确答案。例如第51空,she has received a lot of 51 。她收到了很多的 。这是就要考虑到下文了,因为下文有这方面的举例,是给她颁奖,由此可判断是对她的赞美,故答案为A。
4.结合生活,考查学生利用常识题的能力
目的考查学生的生活常识,看看学生是否善于观察生活,积累生活常识,能否利用常识去做恰当的选择。

【名师点睛】这篇文章是记叙文,难度适中,这类文章首先要通读抓住故事发生的情节和作者想传达的中心思想。围绕主旨解答更有把握。故事内容体现了作者的坚持不懈的毅力和不被困难压倒的精神。学生要抓住这个主题,而且这个主题贯穿整个文章。这个文章一个明显的特点是上下文之间的联系非常紧密。做题时把握选项词义且要牢记上下文的关联对解题会很有帮助。
做题时要结合完形填空的特点,完形填空题有的考查词语同现、词语复现,有的则是要运用逻辑推理能力,领会和掌握解题策略对提高完形填空的解题速度和准确率大有裨益。
1. 上下文串联和语境暗示。
这篇完型填空里面出现词语同现的很少,但是词语复现不少,就是指某一个词以原词、同根词、同义词、反义词等方式重复出现在语篇中,语篇中的句子通过这种复现关系达到相互衔接。像这篇完型的18题和首句的动词weighed 相对应;24题,下文明显出现了program,还有29题,上文出现了the fear;34题是和下文的I lost 150 pounds and raised $50,000!信息词对应的,都是属于这种类型。
2. 逻辑推理。
逻辑推理是通过对句子间和上下文之间逻辑关系的理解从而推断出正确答案。其中逻辑关系主要包括因果关系、转折关系、对比关系、并列关系等。逻辑推理题需要考生对上下文的理解全面把握,难度较大,考生不能将句子独立开,要注意一个句群,一个段落的整体理解。这篇文章逻辑推理的题较多。19题主要是上下文的逻辑关系,推断出是程度副词seriously;如27题,根据主句和宾语内容推断出是as;还有35题,抓住通读全文和位于末端尾句推断出来这是一个总结全文的主题句。

【答案】36-40. DDACB 41-45. ADCBD 46-50. AACBC 51-55. ADBBC
37. D考查上下文串联。根据“ __37__at school for practice hours __38__ anyone else”可知,学习音乐的同学需要比不学音乐的早到学校几个小时,为了练习弹奏乐器,turn up原意“调高(音量)”,在此意为“出现”,符合语境。
38. A 考查上下文串联。“anyone else”指不学音乐的学生,学习音乐的要比规定的到校时间早到几个小时,before anyone else had to be there比规定的到校时间早几个小时。这也是Gabriel不想学习音乐的原因之一。
39. C考查上下文串联。本题需要结合语境进行选择。根据“as he hated getting to school extra early”可知,Gabriel讨厌过早到校,因此他对自己发誓“不学”音乐,A背叛;B接受;C避免,避开;D欣赏。注意单词在文章中的灵活翻译,只有C项符合语境。
40. B考查上下文串联。本段讲Gabriel在一次音乐课上意外发现自己很喜欢音乐,与上一段是转折关系,
故选B。
41. A考查名词辨析和句意理解。that was __41__of his school’s standard curriculum是定语从句,音乐课是学
校的标准课程的一部分,言外之意就是说,每个学生都得上这门音乐课。
42. D考查上下文串联。根据下句“actually... tried to hide... pleasure”等词或词组可以看出,Gabriel在音乐中找到了乐趣,并试图隐藏这份愉悦,由此可知,第38空的意思是“演奏音乐很容易”。只有D项符合语境。
43. C考查上下文串联。根据actually可知,Gabriel对音乐的看法有了变化,他实际上是喜欢音乐的,A/B/D都是有否定倾向的词,不符合语境。
44. B考查近义词辨析和上下文串联。Gabriel不想让音乐老师看到自己表露出来的很明显的喜悦之情,transparent指(谎言、借口)易看穿的;obvious明显的,显然的,故选B。
45. D考查动词辨析。A.run 跑,经营;B.jogged慢跑;C.jumped跳;D.wandered漫游,闲逛,徘徊。音乐老师在教室里来回走动,听到Gabriel弹奏钢琴的声音,就走过来聆听。wander符合语境。
48. C考查词组辨析。A.occur to sb某人突然想起;B.take to开始喜欢;C.appeal to有吸引力,引起兴趣;D.hold to抓住。老师让Gabriel找一件自己喜欢的乐器。
49. B考查名词辨析和上下文串联。A.change改变,零钱;B.chance机会,可能性;C.mission任务;D.function功能。Gabriel准备试一下大提琴。给大提琴一次机会,即尝试拉一下大提琴,其余不符合语境。
50. C考查上下文串联。根据But可知,前后是转折关系,下句说Gabriel发现自己很喜欢大提琴,说明前一句是说他只是随便拉一下。
51. A考查固定搭配和上下文串联。be committed to sth/ doing sth致力于;be used to doing sth某人习惯于做
某事;be limited to被限制在;be admitted to被录取,允许进入某地。根据“so that within a couple of months
he was playing reasonably well”可知,花了几个月的时间练习之后,Gabriel的大提琴已经拉得非常好了。
52. D考查上下文串联。本段与第一段呼应。学习音乐意味着早到学校,要把沉重的乐器背来背去,meant在此意为“意味着”,构成句型It/This means that...这就意味着......。
53. B考查上下文串联。开始学习音乐之后,Gabriel不得不拖着沉重的乐器早早地到学校练习拉琴。drag指吃力地拖、拉某物,符合语境。
54. B考查上下文串联。根据“non-musicians
”可知,这里指不学音乐的学生的表情,根据第一段可知,不学音乐的学生对学音乐的投去同情的目光,故选pitying。
【名师点睛】
完形填空的首句往往开宗明义,是文章的主题。细读首句可启示全文。而尾句往往是对文章主题的总结。所以,它们是了解文章大意的一个窗口,对我们理解全文有着重要的启示作用。因此,要充分利用段首句提供的信息,去挖掘文章的思路,寻找文章的脉络与线索。一般来讲,高考完形填空的首、尾句通常是不挖空的。先跳读这两句,便可判断体裁,猜想它要讲的内容。若首句交代了when, where, who, what,即四个W,那么就是记叙文,很可能就是一个故事,为了测试语篇的理解能力,出题者特别注意选材的趣味性,其结尾往往出人意料,耐人寻味。
本题而言,文章开头部分“For a long time Gabriel didn’t want to be involved in music at all. In his first years of high school, Gabriel would look pityingly at music students...”告诉了我们一些很有价值的信息,比如:“For a long time”的暗示作用。Gabriel一点也不想接触音乐,这种想法已经存在很久了,暗示他可能会开始学习音乐。“look pityingly at music students”同情地看着学习音乐的学生,也为下文的转折做了铺垫。
另外,完形填空题中对词汇知识的考查,主要体现在习惯用法和同义词、近义词的辨析两方面。习惯用法是英语中某种固定的结构形态,即所谓的“习语”,不能随意改动。所以,考生平时应掌握好习惯用法。对词义辨析题的考查有加大力度的趋势。要做好这类题,需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力,特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力。本题的44、47就是考查了近义词的辨析,第47题的taste误导性很大。
同时,信息的复现也是完形填空的一个特点。语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象,如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现,结构同现,同义同现,修饰同现,因果同现等。因此,可以利用上下文寻找解题信息,从而确定正确答案。
