1、2007-2008高中英语完形填空技巧和方法 高考题是我们老师和同学的行动指南，好比在浩瀚的大海行进中的航船离不开的指示灯，只有真正领悟高考题才能发现很多的技巧和方法，因为完形填空的设置是中国人而不是外国人，他们是在一定的语言环境下来挖空的，按照一定的法则和规律来设题的。所以我们首先应该了解和充分分析高考题。 (福建卷 )一个游客丢失了几卷已拍摄好了的胶卷，本也没有什么大不了的。可这里的服务员就不这么看了，他们的服务又会怎样呢？请看：Not too long ago, an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly.

10、下一两卷未用过的(unused)胶卷以拍摄表演的其它内容，而不是印刷好的(printed)，拍摄好的(shot)，记录好的(recorded)胶卷，并向她保证照顾好其它的表演内容。 Two weeks later the guest received a _13_ at her home. In it were photos of all the actors of our show, _14_ signed by each performer. There were also _15_ of the public procession (游行队伍) and fireworks in the

13、uently常常, 频繁地；personally亲自；alone；actually实际上, 事实上。 15 B 逻辑推理常识运用 同时还有公园里游行队伍和燃放烟花爆竹表演(performances)的照片(pictures)，而不应该是规则(rules)，手册(handbooks)。 16 C 逻辑推理词义比较 这些照片自然是那前台服务员下班(work)后利用自己的休息时间(time)拍摄的。case和position与文意不符。 17 A 前后照应逻辑推理 作者我碰巧知晓了包括照片(photo)，这个公园地点(place)和那个表演(show)在内的整个的事情(story)。 18 C 逻辑
14、推理语法规则 她说在她一生中，从来没有(never)从任何事情中得到过这样好的服务。注意句子中的倒装结构，可以排除almost和nearly。only与文意不符。 Excellent _19_ does not come from policy (政策性的)handbooks.

15、分析 19 D 逻辑推理常识运用前后照应 综合全文，也许有好的建议(advice)，好的经验(experience)和好的质量(quality)，但良好的服务(service)不是来自于政策性的手册上的规定。 20 A 词义辨析逻辑推理前后照应 良好的服务来自于那些会关心，会护理(care)的有心人，来自于对那种姿态给予鼓励和学习的文化、素养。care注意，照料, 关心, 护理；serve服务，招待；like喜欢，爱好；know知道，了解。 二、 我们让同学们了解了高考题的特点和基本方法后，应该循序渐进的进行“完形填空方法”的单句或某一段的挖空训练 一、语法This autumn was th

32、Boys Any more明显地告诉我们，本文是关于女孩子对冲浪运动的看法，而且提出了一个很鲜明的观点：冲浪运动并不再是男孩子的专利！女孩子也能做，而且会有所成就。Surfing: Its Not Just for Boys Anymore If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would _1_: surfing (冲浪运动).
33、But isnt that a boy thing? Some people _2_. Most certainly not. I started surfing about five years ago and_3_in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first _4_ was the best feeling I had ever experienced. When I try to _5_ surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because,
34、 in my _6_, theres nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body, _7_, and soul. Theres sand between my toes and cool, salt water all _8_ us.

36、rld C. earth D. ocean答案1 B 前后照应逻辑推理 词义比较 如果你询问高中的女生们她们最喜欢的体育运动的名字，她们不是告诉(tell)，给予(give)，意识到(realize)，而是回答(answer)你询问的问题。 2 A 常识运用 逻辑推理 词义比较 先看语境：前一句的意思是“但是它难道不是男孩子的事情吗?(意思是：这是男孩子的事情。)”；后一句的意思是“大多数人当然不”，由社会的实际情况和这两句的意思可以判断出，只是有一部分人(不太多)对此问题(前一句)不理解(understand)，不相信(believe)，不能作出回答(reply)，而纳闷、惊奇(wonder
37、)，持怀疑态度，而大多数人却肯定地认为：冲浪运动是男孩子的事情。 3 D 固定搭配 fallbe in love with爱上，是固定结构，其它选项没有这种搭配形式。 4 A 常识运用 因为文章是在谈论冲浪运动，冲上第一个浪(wave)去是我经历过的最佳感受，而不是暴风雨 (storm)、航海(sail)或船(boat)。 5 C 固定搭配 词义比较 作者想把冲浪运动和其他运动进行比较(compare)。connect with连接, 联络，将.连起来；compare with与比较；tie up with和联系一起；bring带来，引起，通常不与with连用。 6 D 逻辑推理 常识运用 作
38、者把冲浪运动当作了它的生活(life)的组成部分，她不仅仅只是在假期(holiday)里冲浪，当然工作(work)和学习(study)也不能耽误。in my life是“在我的生活中”。 7 A 常识运用 词义比较 冲浪运动涉及到身体，智力、智慧(mind)和心灵、精神诸方面，这三个方面共同组成人的身心发展因素。 8 C 常识运用 逻辑推理 在海洋里进行冲浪运动，身体的沿线(along)，上面(above)，旁边(by)，而是身体的四周(around)都是凉爽的咸水。 9 B 常识运用 逻辑推理 冲浪运动可能要经过沙滩(beach)，有可能是在湖(lake)里，但它主要还是脚踏冲浪板(boar
39、d)在水(water)面上进行。 10 D 常识运用 逻辑推理 冲浪运动是在大海、大洋中进行的，就有和海洋(ocean)融为一体的感觉。 The one thing I can _11_ from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge(挑战). You can never be the “best suffer” because the ocean _12_ an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfin
40、g styles are wonderful. Some suffers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive(活跃有力的) and _13_. All of these things attract me to surfing and make it _14_ from any other sport.

A. think B. succeed C. perform D. feel答案11 B 作者不是从其他运动，而是从冲浪运动中获得(get)了无止境的挑战的体会”。再则，前文The feeling I get when Im surfing across that water，becoming one with the ocean也有暗示。take f
44、rom减少, 降低；get from从得到；make from由.制造； keep from阻止, 隐瞒, 抑制。 12 C你永远也不会是最好的冲浪手，因为大洋呈现、提供(offer)的是任何人都控制不了的、数不尽的、各种各样的海浪。catch抓住，捕获；include包括，包含；offer提供；collect收集，聚集。 13 A有些冲浪手自由自在、娴熟流畅，有些冲浪手则活跃有力、生机勃勃。注意这两个句子的并列关系，应该特别注意free 和 flowing之间词义的顺承和协调“自由而流畅”，后句的aggressive and_13_也应该是这样一种意义联系，故选择A，sharp可以表示“精明
45、敏捷的，迅速活泼，有力有为”的意思，其它三项在意义上与aggressive的顺承和协调相距甚远。 14 D所有的这些都在吸引着我去冲浪，并使之不同于(different)其他运动。注意此段第一句The one thing I can get from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge.也有所暗示。(be) different from和不同。(be)far from远离, 远非；known和right通常不与from搭配。 15 B我尽力(try)地劝我所认识的每一个女孩去做人们认为女孩不能做的事情。choose选择、挑选
46、；try试图、努力；learn学习；promise答应、许诺。 16 A朝着新的水平(level)不断前进是人类活动的组成部分。level水平，水准, 标准, 级别；point 点, 尖端；step步调, 步伐, 步骤, 措施；part 部分, 局部。 17 C所以女孩子们难道不应当应拾级而上，开始冲破(push)男人过去主宰的事物极限吗？reach到达，伸出；accept 接受, 认可；push突出，突破攻击；set 放置，树立，调整。 18 D在我们国家有女性和总统不仅仅一起坐(sit)，步行(walk)，战斗(fight)，而且并肩工作(work)着。同时注意句子的一般现在时意义特征，表
47、示经常性的行为。 19 C所以为什么女孩子不能够肩并肩地与男孩子一起踢足球，外出一起冲浪呢？介词on表示“在供职”、“(是)的成员”，on the football team的意思是“是/成为足球队队员”。 20 B给女孩子一个获得成功(succeed)的机会，让她们思考(think) ，感觉(feel)表演(perform)，她们就都会有所成就。 二 、方法指导与演练1、逻辑推理.A friend of mine taking an advanced psychology ( 心理学 ) course spends every Saturday working with mentally (

80、，但作答前花上两、三分钟，忽略残缺部分，对整个篇章作出判断，是完全必要,也是很值得的。只有这样,才能掌握文章大意, 找到文章基调，弄清作者思路,情节发展过程,建立起必要的背景知识,也才有保证抓住中心议题,做到心中有底,其后才能不断根据文中提供的信息,将被删除的细节补全,使文章的情节得到正常发展，最后获得完整语篇。 在通读时,文章的第一句是很重要的,它常为全文提供大意,主题,体裁,人物,时间,地点,气氛等多方面信息,有了这些信息,再往下读,就是跳过一些空格,也不会太紧张。在通读文章之后，要充分利用文章本身提供的信息（也就是我们常说的语境），找出正确答案。对文章领会越深刻，越能体会到上下文之间的关
81、系，答案才能找得越准确。在读其他句子时,也不要忽视小词,有些信息往往来自于这些小词,它们的色彩能决定我们的选择。下面以2000年高考完形填空为例，进行分析。 I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more.

90、描述了在不长的一段时间内发生的情况，但在这段时间中，主人公的情绪有一个根本的转变。我们在阅读这段短文时，不但要读懂文章，还要体会出这种转变，同时根据这种转变作出正确判断，从而找出合适的选项。在通读本文之后，我们发现文章的第1段到第3段的基调是一致的，从第4自然段中间开始，往后的文章气氛有了一个转折。正因为这个转折，我们可以发现前后文章所用词汇有着鲜明的对比，当然，选项也就出现相应的变化。比如在前面部分中有slowly, lonely, worse still, fell, “Damn!”, scream, turning red, complaining 等词汇，这些词汇使我们体会出这段文章的
91、沉闷气氛；这一部分中的tired, missed, trouble, look out, with difficulty, bad, empty , worst等选项，正是与这种气氛符合的选项。第二部分所用词汇显然发生变化，如：wasnt empty at all, furniture, curtains, a TV set, even paintings on the wall, well-made bed, dressed neatly, greeting, soft voice, success等等；这一部分中的smiling, less red, friends等选项既符合这一部分的轻
92、松气氛，也与前面部分出现对比。下面我们以其中一些空为例，进行更具体的分析、说明。第1空的4个选项虽然方向是一致的，但根据上文语境中提到的slowly、carrying a big suitcase等等，这种情况产生的结果应该是tired。第4空还是根据上文语境中提到的一系列不利情况的发生，可以想见会有麻烦trouble；suffering, difficulty, danger 在此虽然符合文段气氛，但都过分夸张或与实际情况有出入，所以不能选。第5空在第4空选对的基础上，可以看出应该“小心”，所以选look out。第6空的4个动词选项放在句中，语法上都行得通，但此处须结合下文意义看，我们可以
93、说“使”某人做什么事，是为了产生或不产生什么结果，而“帮助”、“鼓励”或“领导”某人做什么事，应该是为产生一个结果，如此看来只能选get了。第11空：我们已经知道主人公是个新大学生，父亲正在帮着她搬家，根据常识，他们首先应该“找到”房间，不会搜寻（search）或订（book）房间；而enter应该发生在“找到”之后，同时它与修饰词quickly不搭配，也不合适，因此只能选find。第12空：but then again 是一个固定词组，相当于however, 中文意思是“但是（也可能是另外一种情况）”, 如果知道这一点，此空就很容易做出了。第13空：从下文中的提示the room wasnt
94、 empty at all可以看到该选empty。第17空的选项与这个空所处的位置有很大关系，我们前面提到文章前半部分处于低调，这就决定了作者此时的态度是作好了最坏的准备，选worst；而其他3个选项都与这种气氛无关。第23空：故事发展到此，整个气氛已经有了根本的转变，而就是在这时作者的想法也有了转变，此空4个选项中有3个表示时间: soon, later, then, 前两个时间都表示将来，与故事的发展不符合，then表示“此时”，与情节符合，所以选它；there表示地点，而地点仍然是过去的地点，并没有发生变化，因此不选。 做完形填空后，我们一定要把文章完整地读一读，看看是否顺畅、有道理、一
95、气呵成。往往在检查中，我们才能看到错误选项造成的说不通、气氛不协调、不符合逻辑。2.明确词意,词型,词的搭配,并按上下文需要作答。做完形填空中遇到的一个最大的问题就是拿不准该选哪个词,有时就是在语境清楚明确的情况下,也不容易选出正确答案,这就需要我们掌握词意的细微区别,词意程度的深浅,所表示范围的大小,或感情色彩的不同等词意方面的知识;掌握词型知识,如动词的不同动词型,或其他词类的词型等;及词的搭配,如动词与名词的固定搭配,动词与介词的搭配,名词与介词的搭配,形容词与介词的搭配等等。同时上下文是一环套一环的, 不同的词汇说明事物发展的不同程度,不同场合;人物的不同动作,不同心理;结果的不同方面
96、,不同色彩等等。只有把对上下文语境的明了及对词的用法的清楚结合起来作答,完形填空的正确性才能有充分的证。根据历年高考完形填空试题中所考的各种词类的比例来看,动词,名词所占的比例最大，其次是形容词,副词,连词,介词,代词等。所以在词的学习方面,我们应该对动词,名词给予特别的留心与关照。下面例题是1999年高考完形填空试题。People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bell. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell to
97、wer of the 1 and have made up their minds to 2 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest (抗议) against heavy trucks which run 3 through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it 4 to sleep at night, but they are 5 damage to our houses and shops of historical 6 ,” said John Norris, one of the p
98、rotesters.“ 7 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why dont they build a new road that goes 8 the town? Burlington isnt much more than a 9 village.

105、11-15 CDCAB 16-20 BADCA 21-25 BDADA 这是一篇报导。此篇报导涉及了一个热门话题：环境保护问题。这种体裁及题材在日常生活中，尤其是在报刊杂志中最为常见。因此文章的实用性体现得极为突出。 第3空：我们知道本篇文章是讲噪音污染的，交通噪音污染对人们的骚扰很严重，而且是持续不断的，在此只有day and night频率最高，能表达这种意义, 而over and over, now and then都不能准确表达这种持续性。第6空：文章前面提到houses, shops，这些都是地点，因此不能选sense(表示感觉), period(表示时间)；scene可以表示地点，
106、但这个词表达不出这些地点的价值；interest可以说明是“名胜”，体现出了地点的价值。 第7空，涉及到上下句之间的逻辑关系问题。上句we must have these noisy trucks on the roads, 与下句why dont they build a new road.，尤其上句中的must这个词，使我们体会到两句之间是条件关系，而下句的dont又使我们决定应该选if，全句意思是“假如我们必须忍受路上的这些卡车，他们为什么不能建一条绕城公路呢？”；although引导让步状语从句；when引导时间状语从句；unless虽然引导条件状语从句，但它与if意义正好相反，也不能
107、选。第8空，根据上下文提供的语境，我们知道，此句话是抗议者说的，抗议者当然希望道路“绕城”而过，不会是“穿城”而过，因此只能选round，不能是through。第9空，句型not more than = at most, 意思是“至多”，much只起修饰作用，根据这个意义及后面的被修饰词village，我们可以选quiet 或large，如果选quiet village-“平静的村落”，这个意义与“至多”相矛盾；而large village-“大村子”，却说明“至多是个大村子”，言外之意就是不适宜繁忙的交通。第10空，根据下文的for，我们想到mean sb./sth for.是“准备干某工作
108、”的意思，与上下文符合；本空如果选used，那么就意味着“从来没有交通繁忙”，这种说法与文中抗议者要表达的意思是不一样的。这两句的意思是“伯零顿至多是个大村庄，它的街道从来不是为繁忙的交通而准备的”。第14空，从上文中我们知道学生们有意制造噪音，为了使政府官员意识到人们要忍受的是什么，因此选stand；accept是“接受”的意思，人们对噪音如果接受了，那就不要抗议了，因此不能选；know是“知道”的意思，与上下文无关；share是“共享”的意思，这与噪音不能搭配。第17空：政府官员不住在此处，市政厅又是隔音的，他们可能根本注意不到噪音，选notice正是这个意思；mention“提到”，与此
109、处意义不符；fear是“害怕”的意思，对噪音谈不上害怕；control“控制”也与此处上下文不符。在第21、22空的句子中提到警察会对这些学生采取的行动，这些学生并没犯罪，警察所能采取的行动只可能是制止他们，而不会“抓”或“战斗”，从这些分析出发，这两空选afraid、stop。做第23空时，一定要看下句 I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. 下句是对上句的解释，即：这些学生只是帮助敲钟。再从他们的身份来看，他们是学习生物的大学生，他们毕业后也不会从事此项工作，因此不能选 hopeful, 或 serious；更不可能是exp
110、erienced-有经验的, proper在此是suitable“合适的”意义，指他们不是专职敲钟人，也就不会触犯法律。第24空：这个学生在针对记者的发问回答，在提问中，谈到警察会制止他们，警察加以干涉的事情，一定与法律有关，警察是不会因为其他原因进行干涉，因此只能选law。3.根据语法知识,典型句型及句型之间的关系来作答。 高考完形填空中根据语法知识设的空并不多, 但掌握一定的语法知识，根据上下文学会分析句子类型、或句子与句子之间的逻辑关系，也是非常有用的。我们要看清句子是时间状语从句,定语从句还是并列句等等,另外我们还需要进行分析，看句与句之间是原因与结果的关系,还是现象与结论的关系,或是
111、前后顺序关系,或是后对前的进一步解释关系,还是并列的,同位的,对比的,选择的,转折的关系等等。 下面例题节自92年高考完形填空试题。 The lecture on smoking was over at last. As we boys were rushing towards the playground, Jim slipped by the table. The watch, which Mrs. Smith had 1 on the table as she started her lecture, disappeared. We were 2 to go back for class

115、都可能接不定式, 但是却与when搭配不起来。第3空,根据上句句型结构是“正要返回教室”,可知同学们还没有集合起来,而校长此时需把大家集合起来,因此选了together。第4空,根据语法可以先排除fun, 因为fun是个不可数名词,前面不能加不定冠词a,其他两答案trick和prize又都与此时的上下文无关,因此选job。第5空,根据语法现在完成时用法,我们知道before常与现在完成时连用,强调事情的结果,而且before也符合上下文,因此我们选它。第7空是个祈使句,校长让大家看看谁能找到表,所以这个祈使句实际上是Lets see,的意思, 此空我们选see。要提高做完形填空的正确率、尽量减
116、少错误选择，也是要有较高的阅读能力作基础的。因此，平时扩大阅读量、扩大知识面，十分必要。学习英语要靠积累，课堂上要积累，课外更要积累。高考是选拔人才的考试，谁知识面广，谁积累得多，谁在能力上就更胜一筹。【强化训练】 (1)Ella Fant was a middle-aged lady who lived with her only son John in a small house.

During the summer, in the months of March and April, the skies 3 cities, towns and villages throughout the Kingdom are 4 with kites of all descriptions - long-tailed dragons, twisting snakes, beautiful butterflies, or familiar cartoon characters wheeling and weaving in the warm
133、 air. One afternoon, a friend and long-time kite flier invited me to 5 him at the Pramane Ground. “ What s the attraction?” I asked as he flew a huge kite. “ Well, you can feel a bit of a 6 at first,” he replied, “ a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and 7 up into the sky. But onc
134、e you forget yourself, you get caught up in the 8 of controlling something in the air where you cannot follow. You re on the ground: the kite s in the air but it s you that are making it all 9 . Go on, go fly a kite.” I took his advice in the 10 it was meant and, holding the hand of my young daughte
135、r so that others would think I was only satisfying a child s 11 , I bought a rainbow-coloured snake. After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air 12 greater ease than I expected. It was only my daughter s crying, “ My go, my go” that I realized I d been holding the string, completely 13 what
136、 I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime. Like many other 14 of popular culture, the sport of kite flying in Thailand has been 15 down from generation to generation. Its origins(起源) are 16 probably in ancient China, although it seems likely that Thai kites are as old as the 17 itself. It was a
137、 crazy 18 by everyone from the king down. “ Its a great tradition(传统), that has the 19 of bringing generations together.” says my friend. “ What you see today at the King s Cup is the 20 as the people of the past would have seen more than two hundred years ago.” 1.A.fires B.fights C.turns D.keeps 2.

To 4 the sense of fear, he took a 5 of his father. Then he put the camera aside and picked up the gun. His father said happily, “
148、I ve been 6 a long time for this day. I ll let you shoot first.” He leaned forward, eyes narrowed. “ There s a small 7 now, headed this way. Keep your head down; I ll give you the 8 .” Jeremy s heart was beating 9 . “ No, don t let them come, please!” But they came, closer, closer. “ Now, take him!”

For a second he hung there balanced 13 life and death. There was no sound. Jeremy stood 14 , seizing his gun. “ What happened? 15
150、didn t you shoot?” his father said in a controlled voice. The boy didn t answer. His lips were 16 . “ Because they were so 17 .” he said and burst into tears. He sat down, face buried in his hands and wept. All 18 of pleasing his father was gone. He had his chance and he had failed. For a moment his

173、 killed. The 2 thing is, his wife is dead. He only has a married sister who might take them 3 she lives on the other side of the Sierras. And the snow is too 4 to get any mail across the mountains.” John went on working, but his thoughts were on the snow-covered 5 through the mountains. He remembere
174、d 6 as a boy he had climbed snow mountains on snowshoes. He examined the wood. 7 he decided to make a pair of snowshoes out of it. After he made them he began to practise on his snowshoes until he felt 8 of himself. Then he showed his neighbors how his snowshoes 9 . Stepping forward, one of the town
175、 elders spoke up. “ If you re 10 , go ahead and carry the mail.” 11 neither tracks nor path to follow, he moved ahead on what he believed to be the proper 12 . As he went up the mountains the wind and cold barely 13 him down. When darkness 14 , John still moved on, guided by the stars. It was late i
176、nto the night when he finally decided to stop. He must save his 15 for the long journey still ahead. Finding the stump of a tree, he set it on 16 . Then he made a platform of branches on the snow. Stretching out on it with his feet to the fire and the mailbag under his head, he immediately fell 17 .

As he glided into town, people 19 out of their homes and surrounded him. They stared in 20 at the blue-eyed man on strange snowshoes. “ I brought you mail from Placervill

For the next five winters, 22 paid little, Snow-Shoe John went on steadily carrying the 23 . For many years Snow-Shoe John was talked a

218、5 ABDBA 16-20 CDCBA (12)1-5 ACBBA 6-10 DDCAA 11-15 BACBA 16-20 DDCCB 21-25 ACBAD 部分讲解（1）本篇文章是98NMET完形填空考题。从第一遍通读中，我们知道了不少信息，充分利用上下文提供的信息，也就是我们常说的语境-语言环境，把握文章基调，才能找出正确答案。 文章本身是个故事，是以讽刺口吻写的。它向我们展示了一位盲目信赖、崇拜自己儿子的母亲。3. 根据中心，就知道这位母亲认为儿子一切正确、不会做错事，应选wrong。7根据下文陈述的几项工作，而得出选jobs。8上文有managed这个词，很容易选成clean，但读
219、过下文后，我们会发现John换了工作，可见他干了错事，选clean与下文不符，只能选break，才与下文连得起来。11前文已经谈到John两次失误，这第三次与前两次的关系是递进关系，当然选even。13本空是对前面情况的总结，John三次失败，说明没有工作适合于他，因此选no。14谈到John下一步情况，选项的四个词都可以与下面的不定式连用，但意义不一样，began和managed都表示已经采取行动，而从下文看，此时John只是在作计划，promised 表示答应参加，与上下文不符，只有decided可以说明John的打算。15既然John此时只是打算参军，还未行动，他的母亲谈到的只能是个消息
220、，应选news。19与全篇基调一致，崇拜儿子的母亲对儿子的一切都感到自豪，因此是proud mother。20本空所在的句子中有地点状语in the crowd,我们可以看出应该选与地点有关的position。24后面紧接着Theyre all.,可见前面提到的是“他们”，应选them。25本空相对来说难一些，out of order是一个固定搭配，我们平时也常常用到它，但它与上下文不符合，上文提到the one who couldnt keep pace with the others,可见John并不是“坏了”或“不合规定”，而是“不合步子”，要选step。（2）本篇文章讲述了一个坚持不懈
221、奋斗，最后终于成功的母亲。本文用了倒叙手法，这种手法在英语中是通过时态体现的，这一点，对于学生来说很容易忽略，因为中文不存在动词变形问题。因此学生做题时要通过考虑时态来分清时空关系。在第二段中，第一句和第二句的不同时态就可以看出，从第二句开始，作者开始对更早情况回忆。第三段虽然没有用过去完成时，但从意思上可以看出是对童年事件的回忆。第四段的第一句仍然是回忆，但后两句时态变化说明回忆停止。阅读时，首先应该看到这一点，思路要随着这个线索发展。4. 在文章刚刚开始阶段，讲的是作者写文章时的情况，当时作者虽已是三个孩子的母亲，已经四十多岁了，但还未成功。而出版商问的问题是有目的的，她问了作者的岁数，再
222、问作者的健康情况，因为她怕作者经不住这个突然的消息，过度兴奋而出现问题，因此要选 health。6. 本空虽然在第二段，但与第一段事件一致，作者听到这个消息确实感到震惊，作者的这种感情与她过去的经历有直接的关系，shock恰如其分地表达了作者的这种感情。9. 本空处在作者对自己不断失败的回忆中，她不屈不挠，虽然失败，但立刻开始新的尝试，此空的四个选项虽然都可以与ing形式搭配，但只有 got down to 的意义符合这种情况。13. 作者在回忆童年时期祖母对自己的影响，祖母当然只是讲故事，而不可能写故事，telling 是合适选项。14、15. 这两个空都说明了祖母对作者的影响，一个人有了热
223、爱，才可能有投入，而祖母激起了作者对文学的热爱和她的想象力，这些都是作者坚持不懈写作的原因，其他词不能表达这种含义。16. 作者讲述并总结祖母对自己的影响，这种影响不是一般的影响，不是仔细的影响，只能是持续的影响，因此要选 lasting。19. 我们注意到作者做的这件事是在看孩子与做饭之间做的，这种时候，一般腾不出手来写作，也无法读书，只能思索、发展思路，因此只能选developing。（3）本文讲述了泰国春天的风筝热。文章大多数设空都在考查学生根据上下文选择正确选项的能力。1上下文提到“风筝”，“强烈的兴趣”，在此只有把fire作动词用，才能与它的主语及宾语搭配，fire本意为“点燃”，而
224、此时为“激发(兴趣)”之意。2根据此句的句意，大家对放风筝有一种狂热，句子中有nothing，与之搭配用short，就成了“决不缺乏热情”的意思。4此句的主语是skies, 天空中满是风筝飞舞，充满活力，alive恰到好处地表达了此意。6根据下文提到的情景，一个大人站着，手中拿着线，眼睛盯着天空，显得傻乎乎的，fool就表达了这种意思。11父亲带女儿放风筝，装作是在满足女儿的要求，以致不会被看作傻乎乎，因此要选“要求”即request。16本文在此叙述到起源，因此选rooted。17泰国是个“王国”，也就是Kingdom，而在本句中提到了它，后面又用了反身代词itself，因此应选kingdo
225、m。 (4) 本篇是1994年NMET完形填空试题。全文第一句花提供了时间: early morning in summer, 清晨是什么样:人们赶去上班吧。这样就为我们继续往下考虑提示了一个方向。第一段中尽管有三个空, 读完后可以意识到,这一天不是休息日: In the street, sleepy-eyed people were moving quickly; 但这一天又有什么不寻常的事: was to be different。第二段出现了一个具体人物-Philippe Petit, 身份是the daring Frenchman, daring大胆的, 给我们提供考虑方向:他要做惊险
226、的事。1根据文章提供的时间，自然想到人们清晨走向工作jobs, 此时offices只能是一部分人的走向,范围太小。3.根据下文this day was to be different,使我们想到,应该选与different相对的ordinary, 而3应选but,使上下句的转折关系表现出来。4. 根据词组等待 wait for，很容易选for, 但词组后面是crowded streets,这是无法搭配的,不可能等待街道。句中the crowded streets与on top of a building of 110 stories high 是同位语,由此只能选above-等在街道上方。5.
227、 根据后文的the two towers of the World Trade Center,可知该选building。6. 根据下文的Philippe walked his way,可知应选walk。11这个空处在第四段，这段讲的是观众, 考虑问题要从观众角度出发。本句谓语动词是began to notice，streets与city是不会发出这样的动作的,我们可以不考虑; passengers乘客,表达范围太小; crowds人群, 包括了各种各样的人,因此可选。12本空处在一个感叹句中,这个感叹是由观众发出的,观众从地面往上看到空中的小人影所作的表演,他们感叹的不是高度height,而是
228、人的表演,他们发出的是惊叹的感觉,也就是wonder。 pleasure有乐无惊, danger有险无奇, 都不足以说明当时观众的心情。 从文章用的词汇daring, even, astonishing等,所营造的气氛,及下一段Philippe所做的各种动作来看,wonder是最合适的。13从地面观众角度看1350 feet高度的人,自然是 tiny figure。14根据下文的back and forth，得知这是有来有回的运动，这种运动可以称为trips；circles是“环绕、转圈”的意思，在绷索上是无法做这种动作的；movements表现不出来回的动作，也不对。17能躺在绷索上，需要的
229、是“勇气” -courage，光有精神spirit，或力量spirit，都是不够的。（5）本文涉及了保护野生动物这个话题。文中Jeremy不但自己不猎杀动物，而且影响了父亲，具有很好的教育意义。文章设空时，有些选项涉及了一般学生不熟悉的用法。学生平时阅读很有限，所见英语说法、用法都限制在较小的范围内，一旦超出范围，一些学生就只能瞎猜。从这点来看，学生平时扩大阅读量、扩大知识面，十分必要。4根据下文，Jeremy给父亲照相，看来他是想缓和紧张与惧怕心理，ease在此是动词，意为“使减轻、安心”。7父亲在指导他打野鸭，此空前的修饰词是a small，sound和troop虽然都可以用它修饰，但意义
230、不对，flight在此是“飞翔的鸟群”的意思，这种用法是学生所没有见过的。9wildly修饰心跳得剧烈。11本空前面省了介词in, in the way就说明了Jeremy用的是父亲教给他的方式来操作。17Jeremy下不了手的原因并不只是野鸭子可爱lovely，或者活泼lively；而是因为它们是活生生的alive。这与上文的balanced between life and death就一致了。20lower在此作动词用，是“降低”的意思，也就是说Jeremy没有放下手。21根据下文，父亲递给他照相机，这确实是他没有想到的，因此他有些不相信，选unbelieving。24父亲说有时不做一件
231、事要与做一件事拿出同样的勇气，选courage，而不能选勇敢-bravery。25父亲转变态度，要学习用照相机了，因此选camera。（6）本文涉及了教育问题，在美国，有些孩子辍学，并不是因为没钱，而是因为厌学（这种情况各国都有）。主人公Mary Feldman看到这种情况，想出了很好的解决办法。标题Loving the blues就是全文中心，也就是Mary Feldman想出的办法。3.reach out在此 = make efforts to do sth.“作出努力做某事”的意思。4.本文涉及的只是学生逃学去玩儿的情况，这种情况的原因是他们对学习失去“兴趣”，而不是“幸福”或“信任”。
232、6.Feldman在调查孩子们的兴趣时，当然要问什么使他们激动，而不会是“有印象”或“使满意”。8.realized是“意识到”的意思，也就是说有一个从不知道到知道的过程；而knew和thought不能体现出这个过程。11.根据后面的表示目的的动词，只能由人发出这些动作，此空只能选表示人物的名词。13.Feldman要实行计划需要钱，当地企事业帮助了她，在此用了 “rescue”这个词，表达这个意义，其他词都不能表达这种意义。18.音乐家所做的事是把传统的东西传给孩子们，而不是仅仅给孩子们表演一下，四个选项中只有pass on能表达这种意义。19.some在此是“大约”的意思，相当于about
233、。 (7)本文讲述了纽约一位学法律的女大学生得到一笔遗产，她用这笔遗产，通过给低收入及失业妇女提供服装来帮助她们改变形象，最终取得工作。在这篇文章中体现了一种文化背景，这种背景对于有些学生来说是很难体会的，即：当人们去面试或工作时，他们一定要穿着得体，以便给别人留下好印象。而穿着不好，就可能意味着找不到工作。因此得体的服装对于妇女来说是非常重要的。4. 本空就体现了本文的文化背景，要选poorly符合这种背景。9考查学生根据上下文做答的能力，学生在做完形填空时，一定要重视每一个细节，紧扣文章提供的线索，分析选项与文章线索的关系，找出正确答案。上文提到Nancy找到diet center的成员来
234、捐赠衣服，人们一旦节食，他们的衣服可能就不合适了。因此应该选fit。12Nancy找到一个新的地方-basement 储存衣服，本句是以地方作主语，如果用regard, 只能用在被动语态中；用serve as，表示“用作”，可以用地点作主语。17Nancy开创的事业红火起来，捐赠越来越多，stream in 是个形象说法，形容捐赠滚滚而来。18put sth. on hold 是个习惯表达法，意思是“暂时终止”；Nancy 为了事业，只好先终止学业，因此选law studies。（8）这篇文章介绍了一个传奇人物的事迹。主人公被称为Snow-shoe John，可见他在这方面有建树，他利用Sno
235、w-shoe，为山区人民送邮件，被人们传为佳话。5.pass在此是“山间隘路”的意思。6本句中 as a boy 是个时间状语，如果把这个状语放在句尾，就很容易看出本句应该选how了。7.Then and there是“就在当时当地”的意思。11.with结构用来表示伴随情况，表示当时既没有道路也没有车马痕迹可以遵循的情况。12.course在此是“进行方向”的意思。13.根据John在上文所显示的决心及他本身所具有的体质看，风和寒冷是不会使他倒下的，但很可能使他减速，slow down正是这个意思。19.山村的人们看到一个装束奇怪的生人，就都会跑出家门来观看，pour out是个形象的用法，
236、表达人们“涌出”家门的情形。（9）本文是一篇描绘性文章，全文的故事情节并不曲折，但考查了学生是否能跟随文章思路发展，找到正确答案。5年轻妇女到底坐在男青年的旁边还是对面，从下文中我们看到，当她往窗外看时才转头，而此时却不转头，可见她坐在男青年对面，我们选opposite。7从文章中我们看到first这个词，即男青年刚刚把编织的针拿出来，因此只能选out，而不是up。8hardly是否定意义，不能选；even表示进一步关系，没有道理，也不选；如果选almost与后面动词搭配，说明她几乎想要，而不是真的要，与上下文不符，也不能选；只有really 能说明当时她的想法。9say something是
237、干扰项，下文提到她确实与男青年说了话，可见不能选；smile是微笑，这种动作谈不到不礼貌，也不选；只有laugh说明当时她的想法。11选项中的doing是干扰项，而此时她已经看到男青年在干什么了，因此只能问他在织什么，要选making。13think是干扰项，它表示一个人的想法，如果男青年不认为织手套有用，他是不会织的，而他要想证明这种手套确实有用，只能选find。15火车要进站前，应该减速，因此选slowed down。16这句话用了倒装句型，选项中只有only在句子开头才可能出现倒装句，因此只有选它。20我们首先要看主语it指的是什么，如果指毛线球，根据常识，我们知道毛线球掉到水里后不可能
238、继续滚，因此不能选rolling；此时it指的是天气，选raining造成与文章开头的wet呼应，使全文流畅。（10）本篇文章讲述了一个大学生打工的经历及体验。文中大多数设空都是根据上下文语境要求所设。只有把文章来龙去脉看清楚，认真体会所缺词在文中所起作用，才能选出正确答案。1本句的主语是it，也就是主人公工作的小店，在此是要说这个小店的地点，situated这个过去分词作定语，意思是“座落在”，表达了这种意义。3主人公的身份是店员，她不需要烧咖啡，只要倒咖啡、端咖啡，因此选poured“倾倒”。5burst into形象地表达出孩子们蜂拥冲进店铺的情况。6成人看到孩子们挤满店铺，他们就不再进
239、来，而是走过去，因此选pass。11当有人把车票丢了，作者还会借钱给他们，missing表达了这种意义。16occurred to是“想到”的意思，主语是想法，to后面接人。18当来人问起这件事，作者只得承认，admitted 在此是“承认”的意思。25根据上文别人把作者称为Doughnuts Lady，这是一个称号，因此选title。（11）本文是一篇报导，此篇报导涉及了一个热门话题：环境保护问题。这种体裁及题材在日常生活中，尤其是在报刊杂志中最为常见。因此文章的实用性体现得极为突出。有些学生只会阅读书本上特定题目的文章，一旦离开书本就无所适从。因此我们应该适应这种文章的结构。文章中，有年轻
240、人的困难、他的努力、他的成功、他的看法以及别人对他的看法。同时文章没有根据时间顺序平铺直叙。以上这些都需我们读文章时仔细体会并熟悉这种语体。1根据第一段所叙述的情况看，事情发生在白天，同时，能够跳跃在树影之间的，只有“阳光”。3在描述了一个春天的阳光明媚的景象后，连词but一转折，仔细观察，就发现了麻烦，closer在此是“更仔细”的意思。4根据上文叙述得知，麻烦来自污染，垃圾飘浮在河上，并挂在树枝上。在河上运完木材后，往往有一些剩木头会聚在一个角落，垃圾也会被圈在其中，trapped形象地表现出这种情况。8根据前面的修饰词one-man，如果选work，意思就是这个工作只要一个人就行；而与e
241、ffort搭配，就意味着只有一个人在努力，这种意思与全文是符合的。其他两个选项都与这个空相差很远。13根据下文中的backing“支持”，可见应该选supporter“支持者”。16Chad和他的伙伴们从河中拉起的垃圾可以覆盖一个足球场，cover正是这个意义；而spread“铺开”，意味着他们特意把垃圾铺开在球场上，因此不选。18in progress这个词组的意思是“在进展中”；其他的词组都与此时的上下文无关。19这个同位语是the Mississippi River Basin Alliance的同位语，说明这个组织的性质因此选union。23此空设在islands后面，是修饰islan
242、ds的，而islands与waterway的关系应该是dotting，即“岛屿散落在河道上”。24Chad孩童时在密西西比河上掘蚌、在岛屿上玩儿，这一切带给他的是快乐joy，而在这种情况下，pride“骄傲”则过分了。（12）本文讲述了一个男孩在比赛中受伤，因为受到一位他所崇拜的球星的鼓舞，恢复了自信心，最后战胜伤疼，迅速痊愈的故事。文章设空大部分都考查学生根据上下文做答的能力，因此看懂文章，仔细分析，才能做好这个完形填空。6Johnny在比赛中受了重伤，虽然住院治疗，但不见好转，医生觉得应该使他在精神上战胜困难，因此提到这种新的方法是“医药”-medicine 所无能为力的。其他三个答案都不
243、是医生治疗所用的方法，因此不选。7对于Johnny来说，他不能起床，因此只能 meet“会见”他所想见的人，而不能visit“走访”他所想见的人。10父亲要尽微薄之力，least正体现父亲至少可以作的事，The least I can do is try. 的意思是“至少我可以试试”。19在本句中，his eyes 是动作的发出者，因此不能选用looking, 只能选shining, 意思是“眼睛发亮”。22Sure enough 是习惯用语，意思是“当然了”。【英语多棱镜】 Do you talk to people just to pass the time?If we are being
244、 polite with people there are only a few things we can choose to say. However, conversations which pass the time can be a little bit more varied. We have pass-time conversations at parties or before meetings or when we are delayed in a train. Someone will choose a subject and comment on it in a gene

(If you just made the statement, Im quite happy about the rain! and gave no explanation, particularly if you didnt smile, the other person would be offended!) People sometimes talk about serious subjects in pass-time conversations. And yet they dont really say anything which might be too original or disturbing.
