D。作者想拥有一架钢琴，而她的丈夫的答复是Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one。‎ ‎47. B。此处指作者想知道儿子是怎样弄到那么钱来买这个礼物的。afford 指“付得起钱”。‎ ‎48. D。家里人都醒了，也就是整个屋子的人都醒了，这是拟人的写法。‎ ‎49.

B。根据前文讲到的 without an appointment和后文讲到的kept waiting可知，此处指Stanford夫妇被秘书拦住(stopped)了。‎ ‎38. A。根据For hours, the secretary took no notice of them 这一信息来看，秘书肯定是希望(hoping)他们最后变得失望而离开。‎ ‎39. B。分析见上题。‎ ‎40.

A。根据上文的Hades…fell in love with Persephone 以及后文的…agree to the marriage 可知，Hades想娶Persephone为妻。‎ ‎39. A。此处指的是Zeus既不会同意这桩婚事，也不会禁止。‎ ‎40. D。根据下文可知，Hades是抢走Persephone，即没有得到允许。‎ ‎41.

D。通读全文(尤其是第2段第1句话)可知，“你”是战地记者(a war reporter)，那“你”当然地站在 camera 前了。‎ ‎38. B。既然是战地记者站在摄像机前，那当然是给电视观众(TV viewers)作报道了。‎ ‎39. A。根据第1段中说的around you shells are exploding以及第2段中说的…reporters and photographers were killed 可知，只有选项A最合适。另外，比较四个选项，再结合常识，也可选出答案A。‎ ‎40. C。根据常识和后面的 28 reporters and photographers were killed 可知答案选C。‎ ‎41. A。根据文章意思和常识，战地记者死了28人，那么还有数百人应该是 injured。‎ ‎42. A。比较：bring 带来；show 出示，拿给……看；take 带去，拿到；make 制造。结合后面的 pictures to our TV screens，只有bring 最佳。‎ ‎43. C。前面说给电视带来pictures，那么与之相对照，给报纸带来的应该是stories。‎ ‎44. B。根据下文可知，成为一名驻外记者是年轻记者的梦想。‎ ‎45. D。where引导地点状语从句，其意为“……的地方”。‎ ‎46. D。前文说当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想，所以当实现梦想的机会出现的时候，他们就一定会抓住，即使(even if)是战争也不畏惧。‎ ‎47. A。根据下文中的…and bullet(子弹) are flying past your ears…What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again 可知，记者们也有“害怕”的时候。‎ ‎48. C。子弹从耳边飞过，用past，即指从耳朵旁边飞过。注意不能用through，因为它是指“穿过”“穿透”。‎ ‎49. B。句中的but使句意发生转折，前面说有时也有害怕的时候，后面经but转折后，应该这种感觉一会儿就过去了。(答此题时要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想”这一主题。)‎ ‎50. A。此处指的是害怕的感觉过去后，当下一场战争爆发的时候，你又会出现在那里。(答此题时也要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想”这一主题。)‎ ‎51. C。由下文可知，他们随身带着护身符，所以他们不相信他们会死。‎ ‎52. D。比较：hang 悬挂；wear 穿，戴；hold 握住，拿住；carry 带，携带。因其后的宾语是 a lucky charm(护身符)，显然只有 carry 最合适。‎ ‎53. B。比较四个选项，再结合空格后的every time，选B最佳。‎ ‎54. C。向上帝祈求，当然是说“我保证”或“我发誓”，故选C最佳。‎ ‎55. B。由于战地记者们在“退出”这个问题上总是说话不算数，所以当上帝再次听到他们保证的时候，上帝便会“发笑”了。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·湖南卷 When I was thirteen, my family moved from Boston to Tucson‎, ‎Arizona. ___36___ the move, my father ___37___ us in the living-room on a freezing January night.

A。比较四个选项，再结合本段大意，只有gather 最佳，指父亲把孩子们聚集在一起讲搬家的事情。‎ ‎38. C。通读全文可知，由于两地的地理环境差异很大，搬家给孩子们的生活带来了很大的变化，而当时只是听父亲说要搬家，孩子们并没意识到今后的生活发生变化。‎ ‎39. B。文章讲的是搬家的事，所以只有填空move最合适。‎ ‎40. C。与前面的small形成对比，用big。‎ ‎41. C。指作者在火车上所观察到的景色(scene)的变化——从绿树到平原，再到高山。‎ ‎42. A。指作者在沿途看到了许多新的陌生的植物，这表明(suggest)他今后还会接触到更多新的奥秘。‎ ‎43. A。比较：settle into迁入(新居)，习惯于(新居、生活、环境等)；walk into 走进；step into 步入，走进；hurry into 匆匆忙忙进入。由于其后的宾语是home，不是house，所以不能直接“走进去”。settle into 表示“习惯于”的例子：It takes a few months to settle into life at college. 要过几个月才能习惯大学的生活。‎ ‎44. D。while在此表示对比。句意为：姐妹们正在为失去朋友而伤心，而“我”却急切去探索周围的新环境。‎ ‎45. D。eagerly意为“渴望地”“热切地”。指作者来到新地方后那种渴望了解大自然的急迫心情。(做此题要注意结合下文讲的“我”对探索大自然的热情。)‎ ‎46. B。as usual 意为“像往常一样”。（这是作者热心探索大自然的表现之一。）‎ ‎47. D。根据文章最后一句话 Someone should teach you which plant you should and shouldn’t touch 可知，此空应填空 touch。‎ ‎48. B。in fact意为“事实上”，表示对前面情况的进一步强调。‎ ‎49. A。注意第51空后有提示。‎ ‎50. C。此处指作者以前住的大城市与现在的desert形成强烈对比，因此选shock。其余几项用于此处均讲不通。‎ ‎51. A。此处填空的find不是表示“发现”，而是表示“感觉”，又如：How do you find your new job? 你认为你的新工作怎么样？‎ ‎52. B。句中的vastness 意为“宽广”或“空旷无际”。句意为：这种宽广就是当你站在山上眺望其下沙漠的情景。‎ ‎53. C。此句的大意是：当你站在山顶上眺望这一片沙漠的时候，与这个世界相比，你会感觉到你自己是多么的渺小。sense 在此表示“感到”，其余几个动词填在此处均讲不能。‎ ‎54. D。比较：however 但是，然而；otherwise 要不然；therefore 因此，所以；meanwhile 在此同时。结合上句话的意思，只有meanwhile 最合适。‎ ‎55. B。结合全文的意思，此处应是指作者的生活发生变化。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·江苏卷 On May 27, 1995‎, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, ___36___ my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it ___37___ over a fence. Chris was paralyzed(瘫痪) from the chest down, ___38___ to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of ___39___ with lots of unexpected challenges(挑战). We went from the “haves” to the “have-nots”. Or so we thought.‎ ‎___40___ what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of ___41___ difficulties. We came to learn that something ___42___ could happen in a disaster. All over the world people ___43___ Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a ___44___ center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of ___45___ had been received and sorted.‎ As ___46___, we opened letter after letter. They gave us ___47___ and became a source of strength for us. We used them to ___48___ ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a ___49___, or to the “Disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or ___50___ in bed living happily and ___51___.‎ These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so ___52___ we offer one of them to you.‎ Dear Chris,‎ My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your___53___ accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this ___54___ challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you ___55___.‎ Yours Sincerely,‎ Nancy Reagan ‎36.A.since B. before C. when D. while ‎37.

A. nearby B. close C. busy D. alive ‎【答案与解析】‎ 文章讲的是Chris摔伤后，生活所面临的困难以及后来人们对他们的关心和鼓励。‎ ‎36. C。根据句意可知，“3点过几分”正是事故发生的时间，故其后用when引导非限制性定语从句。when 在此可译为“当时”。‎ ‎37. D。因空格后是 over a fence，根据常识，马应该是“跳”过栅栏，故选jump。‎ ‎38. B。因出事后Chris胸部以下瘫痪了，所以他不能(unable)正常地呼吸。其他几个词填在此处均讲不通。‎ ‎39. C。a life of convenience方便的生活。此句的大意是：即使是平常很方便的生活，我们也面临着很多意想不到的挑战。‎ ‎40. D。前面一段讲事故发生后我们面临的困境，而接下来一段则讲到人们对Chris的关心。故用yet 来表示转折。‎ ‎41. A。大家都关心Chris，给他寄来礼物，这显然是与我们sharing difficulties。‎ ‎42. C。一人遇到不幸，众人伸手相帮，这当然是something wonderful。‎ ‎43. B。下文说每天有很多信和明信片寄给Chris，表明有许多人关心他。care for 意为“关心”。‎ ‎44. A。由于Chris摔伤了，自然是在医院治病。a medical center意为“医疗中心”。‎ ‎45. D。根据前文的letters and postcards和空格后的 had been received and sorted可知，答案只能选D。注意，由于mail表示“邮件”时是不可数名词，所以其前用了pieces来修饰。‎ ‎46. B。此句的意思是：我们一家人拆的信是一封接一接——说明收到的信件很多。‎ ‎47. C。根据常识，人们给处于困境的人写信，应该是表示安慰和鼓励。比较四个选项，comfort最合适。‎ ‎48. A。此处指的是我们利用这些好心人的来信来鼓舞我们自己。‎ ‎49. B。根据常识，要想laugh自然要去找marked with “Funny” 的信件。‎ ‎50. C。用even(甚至)表示递进关系，即“我们想从坐轮椅的人甚至是生病卧床的人那儿得到些建议”。‎ ‎51. D。与happily 相并列的应是successfully。‎ ‎52. A。表示下文马上要提出的内容，用here。‎ ‎53. D。riding accident指骑马出的事故。类似地，car accident 指车祸。‎ ‎54. C。difficult challenge指困难的挑战。其余三项无法不合题意。‎ ‎55. D。比较四个选项，只有alive最合适。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·江西卷 In the summer vacation of 1997, I was fixed with a job. I worked as a(n) ___36___ at Mr. Breen’s fruit shop. The fruit shop did ___37___ business. Most of the trade came from the housewives who lived in the neighbourhood, ___38___ he also had regular customers who arrived outside the shop in cars. Mr Breen ___39___ them all by name and they sometimes even had their order already made up, always ___40___ me to carry it out to their car. They were clearly long-standing customers, and I ___41___ they must have stayed faithful to him ___42___ he had promised to sell good quality ___43___. He had a way with them—I had to ___44___ that. He called every woman “madam” for a start, ___45___ those who clearly were not, but when he ___46___ it, it did not sound like flattery (奉承). It just sounded ___47___ in an old-fashioned way. He was a great chatter ___48___. If he did not know them, he would greet them with a few ___49___ about the weather, ___50___ he did, he would ask about their families or make ___51___, always cutting his cloth ___52___ his customers. Whatever their bills came to, be ___53___ gave them back the few odd pence (零钱), and I am sure they thought he was very generous (慷慨). But I thought he was the opposite.

B。在水果店做店员，用assistant。‎ ‎37. A。根据下文可知，这个店的生意一直不错(good)。‎ ‎38. D。此处用but表转折关系。句意为：大多数的生意来自于住在附近的家庭主妇，但也有些常客乘车从外地来。‎ ‎39. B。know sb by name 意为“只知道某人的名字”。‎ ‎40. C。get sb to do sth 意为“叫某人做某事”。动词make和let后接不定式作宾语补足语时要省加重to，keep不能用不定式作宾语补足语。‎ ‎41. D。此处是作者根据自己了解的情况(even had their order already made up…long-standing customers等)所作出的猜测。‎ ‎42. C。顾客信任他是因为他许诺卖给他们优质水果。表原因，用because。‎ ‎43. B。由于是水果店，自然是卖fruit。‎ ‎44. A。由于水果店的老板把生意一直做得很好，所以“我”不得不承认(admit)他与顾客打交道有自己的一套方法。‎ ‎45. D。句意为：老板开始对每一个woman都称madam，即使那些明显不是madam的woman，他也这样称呼。（由此可看出老板的圆滑）‎ ‎46. B。此处用say强调所说的内容。大意是：老板称那些明显不是madam的woman为madam，但却一点听不出像是奉承。(这也体现了老板的交际水平)‎ ‎47. C。由前句可知，老板这样说听起来不像是奉承，只是像有点过时的polite。 ‎ ‎48. A。他也是一个健谈的人。also, either, as well 都可表示“也”，其区别是：also用于句中；either 用在否定句；as well 用于句末。‎ ‎49. C。对于不熟的人用谈论天气的话来问候或搭腔。（这是英美人的交际习惯）‎ ‎50. D。前面说if he did not know them…(如果他不认识他们)，此处说 if he did (know them)…(如果他认识他们)，两者的意思显然为对比或转折关系。‎ ‎51. B。此处说的是，老板跟熟悉的人交谈，就问候他们的家人或跟他们开开玩笑。(这也是合乎常理的)‎ ‎52. A。cut one’s cloth according to one’s customers 意为“量体裁衣”。此处说的是老板的讲话很到位。‎ ‎53. D。此处说的是，无论账上的数目是多少，老板总要(always)给顾客找一些零钱——其目的是要让顾客认为他很慷慨。（这也从一个角度可以看出老板的生意之道）‎ ‎54. C。前面说老板千方百计想显得自己很慷慨，但作者自己却完全持相反的观点。他认为老板从来不扔掉任何东西(never threw anything away)。‎ ‎55. A。looking for something for nothing 指不要花钱而得到某物。for nothing 是习语，意为“免费”。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·辽宁卷 Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians(挪威人) had ___36___ them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After ___37___ the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves ___38___ they started the 950-mile journey back.‎ The journey was unexpectedly ___39___ and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly ___40___. The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had ___41___ to mark their way home. To make things ___42___. Evans, whom they had all thought of ___43___ the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having ___44___ along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died.‎ The four who were ___45___ pushed on at the best speed they could ___46___.

He knew his slowness was making it less likely that ___50___ could save themselves. He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him ___51___ a few more miles, until it was time to put up the ___52___ for another night.‎ The following morning, ___53___ the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be ___54___ some time.” He was never seen again.

D。英国人以为他们是最早到达南极的人，没想到在这场比赛中他们输给了挪威人。beat sb 指“击败某人”。‎ ‎37. C。因为南极地区被冰雪覆盖，在上面插上国旗很不容易，且南极风很大，所以用plant较合适。plant 除表示“种植”外，还可表示“牢牢安置”“牢固地固定在一个位置上”。‎ ‎38. D。根据常理，肯定是在插好国旗之后返回之前拍照留念，故用before。‎ ‎39. D。根据下文可知，因为暴风雪的原因，归程很艰难，并且他们所做的回程标志也不见了，因此返程速度很慢。‎ ‎40. C。因为一直下着暴风雪，所以太阳难得一见。‎ ‎41. C。指暴风雪使他们无法找到回程标志——他们在去时竖立的石头。set up 指“设立”“竖立”“架起”。‎ ‎42. D。to make things worse是固定短语，其意为“更糟糕的是”。‎ ‎43. C。think of…as…是习语，其意为“认为……是……”“把……看作……”。‎ ‎44. B。Evans 掉进了一个冰洞，他肯定要想办法挣扎着要出来，故用struggle 最合适。‎ ‎45. A。be left指“剩下的”。一共五个人，已经死了一个，故剩下四人。‎ ‎46. A。manage指设法做成某事。其他三项的意思是：try 试图，设法；employ雇佣；find找到，发现。‎ ‎47. B。因为当时下着暴风雪，并且下文又说 Oates 的脚在晚上肿胀得很大，由此可知，他的脚当时是冰伤了。‎ ‎48. A。此处的意思是，Oates的脚肿得很厉害，以至于几乎不能穿靴子。‎ ‎49. A。Oates的脚肿得很厉害，以至于几乎不能穿靴子，这说明他当时in great pain。‎ ‎50. D。此处说的是，Oates若因脚伤走不快，就会影响到其他三个人的自救。the others指这四个人中除Oates外的其他三个人，其中的the表特指。‎ ‎51. D。on在此表示“继续向前”的意思。又如：They moved on to the next city. 他继续赶往一个城市。‎ ‎52. B。指他们晚上搭起帐篷过夜。注意，不能选sleeping-bag，因为其前的动词是 put up。‎ ‎53. A。指当其他三人还在睡袋中睡觉的时候，Oates打了个招呼就一个人出去了。while 表示“当……的时候”。‎ ‎54. D。指要离开一会儿。‎ ‎55. C。他一个人独自(alone)出去，希望不拖累其他同伴。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·全国卷I One afternoon I was sitting at my favorite table in a restaurant, waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive. Suddenly I ___36___ that a man sitting at a table near the window kept glancing in my direction, ___37___ he knew me.

When the waiter brought my ___41___the man was clearly puzzled (困惑) by the ___42___ way in which the waiter and I ___43___each other. He seemed even more puzzled as ___44___went on and it became ___45___that all the waiters in the restaurant knew me. Finally he got up and went into the ___46___. When he came out, he paid his bill and ___47___without another glance in my direction. ‎ I called the owner of the restaurant and asked what the man had ___48___. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective (侦探). He ___49___ you here because he thought you were the man he ___50___. ” “What? ” I said, showing my ___51___. The owner continued, “He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo of the wanted man. I ___52___ say he looked very much like you! Of course, since we know you, we told him that he had made a ___53___. ” “Well, it’s really ___54___I came to a restaurant where I’m known, ” I said. “___55___, I might have been in trouble.”‎ ‎36.

Otherwise D. Therefore ‎【答案与解析】‎ 文章主要讲的是作者因与某侦探要找的人长得相似而被错误跟踪的有趣经历。‎ ‎36. C。通读全文可知，作者与那个人并不认识，因此可排除A和D。B与全文语境不符。C与全文内容吻合。‎ ‎37. D。比较：since自从……以来，由于；even if 即使；though虽然；as if似乎，好像。由于那个人不停地往“我”这个方向看，给“我”的感觉是好像他认识“我”。‎ ‎38. B。根据后文可知，那个人是侦探。而根据常识可知，侦探肯定是利用那张报纸作掩护的。由此可知，那张报纸是open的。另外，下文的…he was ___ to read 也暗示我们，报纸是打开的。‎ ‎39. C。由于下文讲到那个人是侦探，并且是跟踪“我”来餐馆的，所以他肯定不是在真读报，而是在利看报纸作掩护，故填 C最佳。‎ ‎40. A。作者在上文说，那个人是在假装看报，所以下文说的应该是作者可以看出(see)他在盯着“我”看。‎ ‎41. D。根据文章开头说的…waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive 可知，此处应填 food。‎ ‎42. B。文章开头说sitting at my favorite table，既然有favorite table，说明经常来这里。另外，下文又说all the waiters in the restaurant knew me，这说明我与服务员都很熟。由此可推知，此处选B最合适。‎ ‎43. A。比较：chat with与……闲聊；1ook at看；laugh at 嘲笑；talk about谈论……。根据此处的语境，只有chat with最佳。‎ ‎44. B。as time went on指随着时间的推移。‎ ‎45. C。此处的it为形式主语，其后的that all the waiters…是主语从句，此句的意思是“餐馆里所有的服务员都认识我”这件事变得很……，比较四个选项和上文的语境，显然只有clear最合适。‎ ‎46. D。根据下文讲到的He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo of the wanted man 可知此处应填 kitchen。‎ ‎47. A。那个人弄清真相(即“我”不是他要找的人)后，知道自己跟错对象了，所以付了账离开(left)了。‎ ‎48. A。因为那个人开始一直看我，而后来进了一次kitchen后就看都没看“我”一眼就离开了。根据常识，“我”出于好奇肯定要问问这个人想要干什么。‎ ‎49. C。follow意为“跟踪”。因为那个人是个侦探，他误认为作者是他要找的人，所以就跟踪他到了餐馆 。‎ ‎50. D。比较：beat打；deal with对付；meet 会见，迎接；look for寻找。显然只有look for 在此符合语境。‎ ‎51. B。作者听到餐馆老板这样一说，自然感到非常吃惊。‎ ‎52. A。比较四个选项的意思以及下文说的 he looked very much like you，只有填 must 最佳。‎ ‎53. B。make a mistake固定短语，意为“出错”“弄错”“犯错误”。‎ ‎54. D。听了餐馆老板的话，作者感到非常庆幸(lucky)。要不是在这个大家都熟悉他的餐馆里，他可能就遇上麻烦了。‎ ‎55. C。比较：thus 因此，从而；however 但是，然而；otherwise 否则，要不然；therefore 因此，所以。前句说it’s really lucky I came to a restaurant where I’m known，后句又说 I might have been in trouble，其间显然只有用otherwise 来衔接才最通顺。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·全国卷II, III As I drove my blue Buick into the garage. I saw that a yellow Oldsmobile was ___21___ too close to my space. I had to drive back and forth to get my car into the ___22___ space. That left ___23___ enough room to open the door.

Still, each time she got home first, she parked too close to my ___30___. Then one day, I thought, “What can I do?” I soon found ___31___. The next day the woman ___32___ a note on her windshield(挡风玻璃):‎ Dear Yellow Oldsmobile, ‎ I’m sorry my mistress(女主人) shouted at yours the other day. She’s been sorry about it. I know it because she doesn’t sing anymore while ___33___. It wasn’t like her to scream ___34___. Fact is, she’d just got bad news and was taking it out on you two. I ___35___ you and your mistress will ___36___ her.‎ ‎ Your neighbor,‎ ‎ Blue Buick When I went to the___37___ the next morning, the Oldsmobile was gone, but there was a note on my windshield:‎ Dear Blue Buick,‎ My mistress is sorry, too.

A. followed B. passed C. found D. greeted ‎【答案与解析】‎ 文章讲的是两位车主因停车的事所发生的争吵以及后来各自通过一种巧妙的道歉而和解的故事。‎ ‎21. B。根据第1句As I drove my blue Buick into the garage可知，此处指的是“停车”，故选parked。‎ ‎22. C。由于那辆yellow Oldsmobile 停得太靠近“我”的车位，所以我的车位显得比较narrow。‎ ‎23. D。由于那辆车停得太近，留给我的空间显得很narrow，所以导致“我”的车门几乎都不好打开。故选 hardly。‎ ‎24. B。此处是说，这次我先把回家，即先把车开进车库，故用first。‎ ‎25. A。as usual 意为“像往常一样”，指的是“像往常一样与我的车贴得很近”。‎ ‎26. C。run out意为“用完，耗尽”。此句的意思是“我的忍耐力用完了”，即“我”终于失去了耐心，或者说忍无可忍了。‎ ‎27. D。比较：save 挽救，节省；offer 主动提供；leave 留下，留给；keep 保持。此处说的是对方没有给“我”留足停车的空间，故用leave。‎ ‎28. A。双方的车停得很靠近，所以对方猛推车门，肯定会撞到我的车门上。此处的mine指my door。‎ ‎29. B。with在此表示伴随，with this 相当于 with these words，其意为“说完这话”。‎ ‎30. D。在车库里，车并排而停，所以此处指的是她的车离“我”的车位的side很近。‎ ‎31. C。此处指作者找到了解决问题的办法。‎ ‎32. D。discover 意为“发现”，即在挡风玻璃上发现有一张字条。‎ ‎33. B。由于这个字条是“以车子的口吻写的”，所以选driving，因为车子它只知道主人在开车时做什么，而不会知道其他情况。‎ ‎34. C。like that 意为“像那样”。本句的意思是：(那天)她像那样吼叫不是她的本性或本意。(言外之意是：她像那样吼叫是另有原因的)‎ ‎35. A。此句是在请求对方原谅，其意为：我希望你(指车子)和你的女主人能原谅她。‎ ‎36. C。forgive为“原谅”。分析见上句。‎ ‎37. D。此处说的是，第二天“我”去车库(garage)开车时，那辆yellow Oldsmobile已开走了。‎ ‎38. A。比较四个选项，只有crazily较合适。crazily的本意是“疯狂地，发狂地，疯子似地”，对方用此词是为了表示歉意。‎ ‎39. B。根据后面的…their drivers waved cheerfully and smiled可知，此处填friends最合适。‎ ‎40. B。pass 指“从……旁经过”，符合文章的意思。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·山东卷 My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling ___36___, but I always knew he was ___37___. He never criticized us, but used ___38___ to bring out our best. He’d say,” If you pout water on flowers, they flourish.

C。根据下文可知，“我”的父亲与大多父亲管教孩子总是批评相比，他显得很special，因为他从来不批评我们，而是用表扬来使我们做得更好。‎ ‎38. A。与前面提到批评相对比，此处应填praise。‎ ‎39. C。作者在回忆往事，故用remember。‎ ‎40. B。根据下文提到的something unpleasant可知此处应用unkind。‎ ‎41. C。比较：another time 另一次；some time 一段时间；any time 任何时候；other time 其他时间。在这四个选项中，只有any time 相当于连词，可以引导时间状语从句。‎ ‎42. B。in 指在某人身上。又如：She saw in the girl some likeness to her daughter. 她在这女孩身上看到某种与自己女儿相似的地方。‎ ‎43. D。比较：in return 作为回报；in case万一，以防万一；by turns 轮流；by chance偶然。此句说的是：如果你在别人身人找到 the best，那么别人就会回报你 the best。‎ ‎44. D。follow意为“遵循”。‎ ‎45. A。比较：understanding 通情达理的，善解人意的；experienced 有经验的；serious严肃的，认真的；demanding 要求极苛刻的。根据后面父亲对“我”退学办杂志这件的处理可知，此处选A最合适。‎ ‎46. A。比较：take up 占用时间或空间；make up 编造；pick up捡起，捡时，用车接；keep up跟上，赶上。此处指的是办杂志占去了“我”大量的时间，故填take up。‎ ‎47. D。根据后文的stay in school or leave to work on my magazine可知，此处是要“我”在留在学校读书或退学办杂志之间做出选择。‎ ‎48. B。as意为“像……一样”。‎ ‎49. C。根据下文可知，父亲本想当生物学家，但后来当了律师，显然是被他的父亲说服(persuade)了。‎ ‎50. A。“我”一直(always)很后悔，因为我本想当一名biologist。‎ ‎51. B。因前后意思转折，故用but。‎ ‎52. D。自己本来想当一名biologist，但被父亲说服后当了一名律师，因此自己也就没有去追求自己的理想。‎ ‎53. C。as it turned out 是一种惯用句式，其意为“结果”“果不其然”“果然不出所料”。又如：I didn’t need my umbrella, as it turned out. 我原本就不必带伞的，果不其然(因为并未下雨)。As it turned out, their fears were groundless. 果然不出所料，他们的担心是没有根据的。‎ ‎54. B。文章前面说过“我”退学创办一本杂志，故此处选B。‎ ‎55. D。此处指作者自己要用其父亲培养他的办法来培养自己的孩子。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·天津卷 Having left the town, the girl stopped the car at the landing near the entrance of the bay(海湾). She stepped into the ___16___ and rowed out silently. The tide was rushing to the entrance and ___17___ to the wild open sea. She had to row across the bay to reach ___18___side. The waves struck against the side of the boat, ___19___and uneven; it became ___20___ difficult to row. If she ___21___ for a moment, the tide would push the boat back towards the ___22___.‎ She wasn’t even halfway, ___23___ she was already tired and her hands ___24___ from pulling on the rough wooden oars (船桨). “I’m never going to ___25___ it”, she thought. She rested the oars on her knees and ___26___ her head helplessly, then looked up as she ___27___ the boat shift(晃动) against the tide.‎ The east wind, which had swung(旋转) around from the south-west, ___28___ her help and pushed the boat towards the mountains. It was going to be ___ 29___. Her hands weren’t so painful. Her chest didn’t feel as if it was about to burst ___ 30___.‎ The lights of the town became ___31___. One of the oars banged against the side of the boat and she ___32___ it with a start. Had she been asleep, or just ___33___? She looked over her shoulder. She was almost on the beach. The girl gave one last ___34___ on the oars to ground the boat, and then lay back against the seat. She listened to the waves ___35___ and knew she had come home. Far across the moonlit bay the lights were no more than a sparkling chain.‎ ‎16. A. car B. boat C. ship D. mail ‎17. A. beside B. before C. behind D. beyond ‎18.A. another B. other C. either D. the other ‎19. A. deep B. calm C. gentle D. rough ‎20. A. more B. less C. as D. least ‎21. A. slept B. continued C. rested D. rowed ‎22. A. home B. mountains C. south-west D. entrance ‎23. A. if B. so C. but, D. since ‎24. A. hurt B. ruined C. troubled D. broke ‎25. A. get B. make C. keep D. take ‎26. A. mined B. dropped C. cocked D. raised ‎27. A. saw B. made C. heard D. felt ‎28. A. got to B. came to C. sent for D. reached for ‎29. A. difficult B. serious C. all right D. certain enough ‎30. A. any more B. still more C. no more D. once more ‎31. A. brighter B. bigger C. closer D. smaller ‎32. A. destroyed B. threw C. repaired D. seized ‎33. A. dreaming B. guessing C. inventing D. expecting ‎34. A. blow B. hit C. pull D. strike ‎35. A. anxiously B. happily C. sadly D. carefully 文章主要描述一个女孩独自划船过海以及在海上与风浪搏击的故事。‎ ‎16. B。根据下文说的 rowed out silently可知她是上了一条船。‎ l7. D。此处说的是，海浪冲向入口处，然后又退回大海。beyond 表示“向远处”。‎ ‎18. D。因为她要row across the bay，显然是横穿海湾去另一边。‎ ‎19. D。根据下文可知，海浪变得越来越大，划动小船很不容易，故此处填rough最合语境。‎ ‎20. A。海浪大了，划船当然会更难了。‎ ‎21. C。此处说的是，尽管划船很艰难，但她却不能停下来休息(rested)一会儿，否则潮水会把小船冲回来——正所谓“逆水行舟，不进则退”。‎ ‎22. D。上文讲到她是从海湾的入口处向外面划的，所以她若停下来就有可能被冲回到入口处。‎ ‎23. C。句意是：她甚至还没有划完一半，但她就已经很累了。前后为转折关系，故用but。 ‎ ‎24. A。因为船桨很粗糙(rough)，而且她还得在大浪中用力划船，所以手被弄伤(hurt)了。‎ ‎25. B。前文说，风大浪高，船桨粗糙，双手弄伤，筋疲力尽，行程还没完成一半；下文又说…her head helpless…。由此可知，此时她的心情肯定是“没望了”，故选B。make it 是习语，意思是“成功”“设法做成某事”。‎ ‎26. B。按照常理，人们在 helpless, hopeless 的时候，通常是“低着头”，所以有汉语成语“垂头丧气”。另外，根据下文的 look up也可知，此处应该是 drop her head。‎ ‎27. D。此处说的是她无助地坐在船上，感觉到船在迎着潮水晃动。‎ ‎28. B。此处说的是，此时风向变了，西南风变成了东风，而这东风正可以帮她把船推向大山边。come to one’s help 是惯用表达，其意为“来帮助某人”。‎ ‎29. C。根据下文的 Her hands weren’t so painful. Her chest didn’t feel as if it was about to burst ___ 30___ 可知，此空填all right 最佳。‎ ‎30. A。not…any more是固定搭配，意为“不再……”。‎ ‎31. D。根据第1段第1句可知，这个女孩是town横渡海面到另一边去， 现在当她渡过海湾回过头来看这个town时，其灯光自己是变得越来越小。‎ ‎32. D。with a start 的意思是“一惊而……”“猛然惊醒过来”。此句说的是“她一惊，抓住了桨”。‎ ‎33. A。女孩在一身疲惫中借助风力不知不觉到了对岸，所以她怀疑自己是不是睡着了，或者是在做梦。‎ ‎34. C。pull 在此指“摇桨”。‎ ‎35. B。根据后面的…knew she had come home 可知，女孩经过努力和风的帮助终于回了家，此时她的心情自是“高兴”。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·浙江卷 It was raining. I went into a café and asked for a coffee. ___21___ I was waiting for my drink, I realized that there were other people in the place, but I sensed ___22 ___.

B。根据下文可知，咖啡屋里虽然有很多人，作者却找不到一个人可以交流，因为他们都在忙于与电脑交流，所以此处填loneliness较合适。‎ ‎23. A。此处表因果关系。即我感觉不到他们的souls，是因为他们的souls都已完全属于电脑和网络。‎ ‎24. C。根据下文可知，人们都在忙于上网聊天或玩游戏，所以此处以填空 computer 最为适合，但选项中没有此词，所以选与之同类的词语 net(网络)。‎ ‎25. C。根据常识，人们通常是坐(sitting)在电脑前上网或玩游戏。‎ ‎26. A。根据空格前后的内容可知，那个人既在网上聊天，同时还玩游戏，开始作者问了他几次，他才回答，所以此处的意思是“我很忙，我没空与你讲话”。‎ ‎27. C。at the same time 意为“同时”，指那个人既在网上聊天，同时还玩游戏。‎ ‎28. A。指作者对此感到很吃惊，因为人们宁可在网上聊天，而不愿搭理身边的人。‎ ‎29. B。again 指“再”“又”。指作者再一次想跟那人说话。‎ ‎30. A。此处用but 表转折。因为作者想找他说话，但他一句也不说。‎ ‎31. D。因为那人不愿搭理作者，即使作者摸他的肩膀，他也没反应，所以作者感到不高兴(unhappy)。注意不要选afraid，否则他就不敢把手放在电脑显示器前了。‎ ‎32. C。比较：Shut up 住嘴；Enjoy yourself 玩得开心；Leave me alone 别管我，别打扰我；Help me out 请帮帮我。根据四个选项的意思，显然只有C最合语境。‎ ‎33. D。作者抬头看了看周围的情况，没有一个人对此有反应。‎ ‎34. B。比较：From then on从那时起；At that moment在那时；In all总计；Above all首先，最重要的是。选B最合适，指作者当时的感受。‎ ‎35. A。因为那儿的人宁可在网上与人聊天，也不愿搭理身边的人。这说明他们对计算机更感兴趣。‎ ‎36. A。比较四个选项的意思，只有computer 在此最符合全文的语境。‎ ‎37.C。此处指作者根据目前的情况想像将来的情况。‎ ‎38. B。前面说有的人宁可在网上聊天，也不愿搭理身边的人。此处作者是假设人们更愿与电脑分享生活而不是与其他人分享生活。‎ ‎39. D。指作者当时陷入沉思，并没有意识到咖啡的味道不好。‎ ‎40. B。此处作者打了一个比方，他说他没意识到咖啡的味道不好就像Steve没有注意到其身边有人一样。‎ ‎2005年高考英语完形填空真题详解·重庆卷 Hidden passengers traveling in ships, trams, or even cars can be a terrible trouble— especially when they are insects.

C。根据常识可知，偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现。make effort to do sth 固定词组，“尽力做做某事”，make every possible effort to do sth 的意思是“尽一切可能做某事”‎ ‎38. D。句中的while 表对比。前面说偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现，而“偷”乘车辆或船只的昆虫则不同，怎么个不同？那就是它们会draw attention (引起注意)。‎ ‎39. A。根据下文可知，这个人很不走运。‎ ‎40. C。指从一个山村出发去伦敦。比较：set out 出发，动身；pass by从……旁经过；leave out 遗漏，漏掉；get up起床。‎ ‎41. B。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知，此处应填 back。‎ ‎42. D。指司机听到从车后面传来有奇怪的声音，所以他就下车来检查(examine)一下，看是什么原因。‎ ‎43. B。既然通过检查没有发现什么问题，所以他就继续(continue)赶路。‎ ‎44. D。比较：immediately 立即，马上；normally 正常地；gently轻柔地；actually实际上。由于是一种奇怪的声音，并且他几次下车查看，说明这种声音不算normally；又由于后面说…became even louder，说明它不gently；actually 在此不合语境。故选D，指车一开动，又马上出现了那种声音。‎ ‎45. B。由于声音是从后面传来的，所以当司机再一次听到这种声音时，他马上回过头来看。比较：turn one’s head 转头，调头；hide one’s head 藏起某人的头；shake one’s head 摇头；raise one’s head 抬起头。‎ ‎46. A。根据下文可知，跟在车后的是一群蜜蜂，作者把它形容成一团乌云，故用black。‎ ‎47. C。根据上下文语境可知，这群蜜蜂不是在车底，不是在附近，也不是前面，而是在车后面。‎ ‎48. D。司机尽量把车开快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂，这样的的驾驶肯定很hard。‎ ‎49. A。根据下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。‎ ‎50. D。It was not long before... 是固定句型，其意为“不久以后”。‎ ‎51. C。因为这位看见他停车的顾客发现他的车上满是蜜蜂，所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)进来告诉他。‎ ‎52. B。比较：be crowded with 挤满了……；be covered with 被……所覆盖；be filled with装满……；be equipped with 由……所装备。根据语境，只有B较合适。‎ ‎53. A。advise sb that… 意为“建议某人……”，此处用的是该结构的被动式，其意为“有人建议他……”。‎ ‎54. A。要对付这批蜜蜂，显然只有bee-keeper(养蜂人)最合适。。‎ ‎55. C。比较：unexpected 想不到的，未预料到；unfamiliar 不熟悉的；unknown不知道的；uncertain不确定的。对于一个bee-keeper 来说，突然得到这么多蜜蜂，当然属于 unexpected了。‎
