3、artist used and their current(现在的)chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year，many attracted by the mystery of her smile.“Its very interesting that when you re not looking at her，she seems to be smiling，and then，you look at her and she slops.”said Professor Margaret Liv
4、ingstone of Harvard University.“It s because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail，but less suited to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However，the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always

6、later.During World War II，French men hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies，the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.1The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa_.Ais losing its valueBis being damaged after s
7、o many yearsCis getting more valuable with years passingDwill rot away答案：B细节理解题。首先，由转折词But判断，本句的意思应和文章前面所说“美貌是永恒的”在意义上相反。后面又介绍说“蒙娜丽莎”的健康状况随着岁月的流逝而恶化，画的木板变形，因此断定此处的意思是指随着岁月的流逝，名画蒙娜丽莎受到了损坏。2The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen_.Aby indirect vision Bat a distanceCby direct vision Din shadows答案：A
8、细节理解题。文章第四段提到，人们“正视”时，往往看不到“蒙娜丽莎”的微笑，原因是当时达芬奇是在暗处画得画，因此只有人们“不正视”时，才能看到她的微笑。3From the last paragraph，we can infer that_.Amany interesting stories have been written about the Mona LisaBpeople are interested in the stories about the Mona LisaCsome mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa
9、Dmany more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa答案：C推理判断题。文章前面提到“蒙娜丽莎”的历史像她的微笑一样是个谜，因此最后一段的意思是她还有一些秘密未被人知。4Experts havent had any repairs on the Mona Lisa because_.Ait is now in a poor chemical stateBthey dont know how to replace the wooden panelCthey dont have the materials Da Vinci usedDthey ar
10、e afraid it will be done further damage答案：D推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，专家对于达芬奇所用的材料及材料现在的化学状态没有把握，也就是说担心盲目修补会更加损坏此画。A项讲此画状况极差，观点过激与本文不符；B项本文未提及；C项与第三段最后一句不符。【湖北省2014高考英语第二次联考试题】完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today.

20、文。所选材料源于生活，时代感强，语言地道，内容健康，情节丰富，寓意深刻，常涉及人物的心理活动描写，集知识、文化、教育和娱乐为一体，具有极强的可读性。词数大多在250300，难度低于阅读理解部分的文段。近年来的完形填空试题在选项的设置上越来越淡化语法结构，重在文意的干扰，即把具体的语言知识溶进具体的语言情景中去，考查考生通过上下文的前后提示或暗示，对整体文意进行把握的能力。这种考查方式所占的比例较大，且难度也大，若单纯从句子或个别段落来分析，或许所给的四个选项在语法和结构上都是正确的，若放在全局，则不一定正确。因此，快速浏览全文，领悟文章主旨，通过上下文的语境来选择正确答案是解决这类题的关键。以
21、下是广东省最近三年高考自主命题的完形填空的命题特点以及实词考查对照表：应试点睛完形填空考查的内容和范围1主要考查的词类完形填空题突出考查考生对篇章的整体理解和对语境的理解， 而在文章中只有实词才能较好地突出词汇的语境化。细读近两年的考试大纲和研究近三年的高考试题后，我们可以得知，广东卷完形填空只考查实词，主要是名词、动词(包括动词短语)、形容词、副词等。同时， 每小题的四个选项均属同一词类或同一语法形式。若四个选项都是名词， 那么都是单数名词或复数名词或是不可数名词；若四个选项都是形容词或副词， 要么都是原级， 要么都是比较级， 要么都是最高级；如果都是动词， 那么四个选项要么都是及物动词或不
22、及物动词， 要么都是ing形式或ed形式， 要么都是动词原形。2试题的选文特点广东卷完形填空的体裁可以是具有一定故事情节的记叙文， 或是夹叙夹议、富有哲理的议论文， 也可以是说明文。20092011年广东高考英语试题的三篇文章的主题都很明确， 内容完整， 结构严谨， 层次分明， 逻辑性强， 文章内容新， 立意高， 构思巧妙， 富有一定的时代特色和教育意义， 句式结构不是很复杂， 知识内涵没有超出中学生的认知水平， 考生读起来熟悉、亲切、自然， 其难度略高于高三教材。完形填空的首句是文章的窗口， 有助于考生了解和推测全文的大意， 所以短文首句均不设空， 每两题空格最大间隔一般不超过30个词， 最
23、小不低于5个词。广东卷完形填空的全部答案都是通过理解上下文来确定的， 也可以说是要求考生从文章中找出直接或间接的答案。它一般不设纯语法题， 如不设主谓一致题， 不设复合句的连接词， 不考介词、代词等。另外， 四个选项中一般不会出现很难辨析的同义词或近义词。逻辑推理、背景知识、生活常识、习惯用法和搭配是命题者经常考虑的命题点。3考查的主要技能首先，考查考生结合文章上下文对词汇意义及其用法的理解和运用能力。完形填空题型有相当一部分试题是考查考生能否根据文章的上下文来正确辨别所给选项， 选出最适合文章语境的词或词组。其次，考查考生灵活运用习惯用法和常用搭配的能力。另外，考查考生根据生活常识进行推理和
24、判断的能力。探究点一对名词和动词的考查完形填空主要考查语境理解， 而在通常情况下， 只有实词才能较好地体现语境。20092011年广东高考英语卷完形填空考查的全为实词， 如名词、动词、形容词、副词等。一、名词名词是完形填空中对词汇考查的重要内容之一。名词在英语基本词汇中所占比例很大， 而且英语中名词的同义词和近义词很多， 所以对名词考查的主要项目是名词词义辨析， 此外还有名词与介词的搭配、名词与动词的搭配等。做题时应该注意：1名词的基本意义以及同、近义名词的区分例1 Chinese arts have won the _ of a lot of people outside China.Aen
25、joymentBappreciationCentertainment Dreputation【解析】 B本题考查名词的词义辨析。enjoyment享乐， 快乐；appreciation欣赏， 正确评价， 感激；entertainment款待， 娱乐；reputation名誉， 名声。根据语境“中国的艺术得到许多海外人士的好评”可知答案为B。2名词在特定情景、语境中的特殊含义例2 “The longer you stay away from the motherland，” she said, “the sweeter your blood grows to the mosquitoes.” W
