2013高考英语专题（3）:完形填空指导（1）及训练题（答案或解析）
本集分析了考生做不好完形填空的原因，然后提出了做完形填空的基本步骤，并配有8篇完形填空训练题，有答案或解析。资源共21页。
要做好完形填空，考生须具备扎实的基础知识以及快速阅读和理解的能力，另外，良好的心理素质和思维品质也至关重要。
　　有些考生虽然具有一定的基础，但完形填空题的得分却总不尽如人意。他们的问题概括起来主要有以下几方面：
　　1. 不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至与文章的中心相悖。
　　2. 容易受定势思维的干扰，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中英语知识的运用。
　　3. 对完形填空怀有厌倦、恐惧心理，以至做完形填空时处于应付状态。
　　那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空的准确率呢?大家应从以下三个方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题的过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“浏览、细读和验证”做到有机结合，明确每一步思维的主攻方向。
　　一、通览全文，抓准主旨
　　有的同学或是急于求成，总想"一步到位"，或是由于原文设置空格所造成的理解障碍，担心通读文章时不但抓不住大意反而浪费时间，未通览全文即边读边填，结果是就句论句，无法形成连贯的思路，或“见木不见林”，理解偏离文章的中心，欲速则不达。
　　大家首先要克服不良心理，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注重把握文章的整体内容，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句。开始阅读时可能会有模模糊糊，类似“钻山洞”的感觉，此时千万不可半途而废;再往下读，文意会逐渐显露，读完全文心里往往会有"豁然开朗"之感。另外，要重视文章首句的作用，一般情况下，首句不设空格，这就为大家窥视文章全貌提供了一个“窗口”。通过文章的首句大家可以对文章进行比较准确的定位。
　　另外，大家要给文章准确定位，不仅要重视文章的首句，有时注意一下文章的结尾，首尾联系起来，对文章的定位会更准确。
　　抓住文章的主旨大意后，考生围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。抓住了主旨，一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项也就起不到作用了。
二、细读全文，透析文意
　　有的考生在做完形填空题时，一看到一些自己比较熟悉的语法结构，如句子、短语等，便不假思索地去选，对特定的语境不去作深入的理解，导致“定势思维”错误。
　　事实上，从NMET完形填空的出题特点看，其干扰项的设置均与“语法结构”错误无关，重在文意的干扰，这是出题者近几年始终坚持的方向。NMET完形填空每个题的四个选项并不是一种单纯的词汇辨析，因为从语法的角度看每个选项都是正确的。因此是否能恰如其分地传达文意才是选择正确答案或最佳答案的唯一标准，要吃透文意，理解到位，大家应做到以下几点：
　　1. 注意上下文的内在联系
　　断章取义，就题论题，忽视上下文的信息提示是学生常犯的错误。考生在做完形填空的过程中，应学会边读边在大脑中储藏上下文的信息。信息提示有时出现在前面，有时出现在后面。如：
　　Eating spaghetti (意大利面条) caught my eye. The word "spaghetti" brought back the 36 of an evening at Uncle Alien’ s in Belleville (when) _37_ all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat (served) _38_ spaghetti for supper.(2004全国卷I)
　　36. A. memory B. thought C. knowledge D. experience 本题的信息提示出现在前面。做题的关键在于把握brought back与后面名词的搭配关系，即动词短语决定了名词的选择。bring back"把……带回来"，因此此处只能是"把过去的记忆带回来"，即"使人回忆起……"，因此答案只能是A。
　　With these words I began to (face) _36_ the problem, the problem of my telephone addiction. I used to call people _37_ , from the moment I woke up to the time I went to sleep. I (waited) _38_ to be phoned, I wanted to phone. Just one more call.
　　37. A. now and then B. all the time C. at home D. at work 本题的信息提示出现在后面。空后的“从早晨醒来到上床睡觉”说明前面的动作是“经常、不断的”，因此答案只能是B。　　2. 注意英汉两种语言的差异，不能简单地互译
　　出题者深知学生在英语学习过程中的弱点，往往从母语的角度设置干扰项来增加试题难度，考查学生的基本功和灵活运用能力，所以在平常的学习中，要逐渐培养自己的"语感"，不要受母语的影响。
It started socially —a few calls each day. It seemed (fine) _39_ , just a quick chat. Gradually though, the (situation) _40_ got worse. Soon it was _41_ use, until, finally, addiction.
　　41. A. frequent B. regular C. unusual D. particular 本题如果仅凭汉语思维"经常用"电话，很容易误选B, regular虽然也有"经常的"的意思，但侧重指"固定的，有规律的"，不是一个贬义词。因此此处表示最后作者打电话上瘾之前，打电话是一种"频繁的"行为，含有贬义，因此用"频繁的"，表示行为"过火"，答案为A。
　　3. 研读细节，准确认定语境
　　用学生平日常见的固定搭配来干扰学生对具体语境的认定，利用定势思维来增强试题的诱惑性。如：
　　I was phoning people and (leaving) _46_ messages to make sure _47_ calls would see me through the day.
　　47. A. long B. immediate C. enough D. surprising 本题仅看前面和后面介词短语的搭配，很容易误选A。但仔细推敲语境，此处并不表示电话的"长度"，而表示电话的"数量"，因此应选C。
　　4. 发挥逻辑思维能力，挖掘文章寓意、隐意
　　近几年NMET完形填空以叙事为主，有时加入一定的议论和说明，内容贴近生活，表层意思易于理解，所以很容易给学生造成一种"假象"，产生“轻敌”心理，有些同学做完一篇完形填空以后，自我感觉不错，但一对答案错很多，原因是这些同学仅仅理解了文章的表层含义，而忽略了其深层含义。事实上，NMET完形填空文章大都包含一定的哲理、寓意，具备深层探询的可能性。这就要求考生不仅要明确文章的表层意义，还要挖掘出文章的深层含义，做到“表里一致”。如：
　　_52_ laughed, then the whole class was laughing with open?hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show (pleasure) _53_ , but what I was feeling was pure happiness. 52. A. People B. Nobody C. Somebody D. I 本题要求根据事情发展的逻辑关系来判定答案。答案是C，此处叙述作者的作文给全班同学带来欢乐的过程，先是“有人”发笑，最后全班同学大笑，逻辑通顺。
　5. 结合生活常识判断
　　At first, everyone on the team got _38_ playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the _39_ started. Some parents, who had paid the coach extra so their daughters could have _40_ one?on?one training, got angry when she didn’t give them more playing time in our _41_ . The coach was replaced. (2004北京高考)
　　38. A. great B. equal C. right D. extra 39. A. business B. struggle C. attempt D. pressure 40. A. free B. private C. good D. basic 41. A. matches B. courses C. lessons D. programs 本文介绍作者(一个少年女子足球队员)踢足球的经历。一开始，我们得到“平等的(38)”踢球时间;然后当我们的队获得联赛冠军以后，怎样呢?结合生活常识判断，应是有了"压力(39)"。后面父母贿赂教练干什么呢?根据生活常识判断，应该是让自己的孩子得到“开小灶”的机会，因此40应选B, private“私人的”。41，父母生气是因为贿赂没有起作用，也就是在我们的“比赛”中，他们的女儿没有得到更多的上场比赛的时间。
　　三、全面验证，理清逻辑
　　NMET完形填空所选文章都堪称精品，其逻辑必是上下贯通，其脉络也必是自然有序，令人信服。因此，做完一篇完形填空以后，大家对文章的线索、脉络以及主旨、寓意等心里也应该有一种很"明朗"的感觉;如果做完以后，还是似懂非懂，犹如"雾里看花"，那就证明你对文章的把握还有问题，还要复读全文，验证答案。大家可以从文章的内在逻辑入手，回味一下，看所选答案是否经得起推敲，是否能自然融入整个语篇，如果有游离于文章主旨之外或与整篇文章的逻辑相矛盾的答案，就需要重新理解、修正。有的同学做完完形填空以后，不加核查便草草"收场"，结果让很明显的错误从眼前跳过，造成考场上不应有的"遗憾"。

In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is 21 known as a place for the maintenance of official business and government cars. 22 it is a place for vehicle maintenance.
More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the 23 to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to 24 me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the 25 ,my friend drove his car into the innermost 26 , which had a sign“carpool only”. I 27 what“carpool”meant.

My friend couldn’t help 31 and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more 32 can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on 33 that.

“Learn English in six month, or your ___7___ back ...” “Easy and funny? Our records and tapes ___8___ you master your English in a month. ___9___ the first day your ___10___ will be excellent. Just send ...” Of course, it never ___11___ quite like this.
The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should ___12___ that we all learned our own language well when we were ___13___. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. ___14___ what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. When he is using the language, talking in it, and ___15___ in it all the time, just imagine how much ___16___ that gets!

【答案与解析】
1. C。only 意为“仅仅、只有”。句意为：世界上约有五百种语言，但只有记种是重要的。

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list ___1___ in our past that we felt ___2___ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very ___3___ process, but there’ s always some ___4___soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then ___5___ that we find ways to ___6___ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever ___7___ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my ___8___, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff ___9___ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a ___10___ on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious ___11___. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ___12___ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name ___13___ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still ___14___. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few ___15___, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it？”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a ___16___ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you ___17___ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it ___18___ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to ___19___ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to ___20___the past wrongdoings.
1. A. something B. anything C. somebody D. anybody

【答案与解析】
1. B。根据下文可知句意为：教员要求我们把我们过去的任何事情(anything)都列成表，这些事情是我们感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的，然后大声读出。若填something只表示一些事情，与句意不符。
2. A。ashamed 意为“羞愧的”，根据后面列举的几项，不应该是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。
3. A。private 意为“私人的、保密的、不让人知道的”。上述事情都属于个人隐私，不宜公开。
4. D。brave 意为“勇敢的”，尽管是隐私不宜公开，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。
5. B。suggested 意为“建议”，句子谓语用的动词原形，是虚拟语气，可先排除expected；从说话者语气看，不是“命令”，所以可排除ordered和demanded。
6. C。这里教员建议要做以下几件事情：to make apologize to people“向人们道谦”，(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施纠正错误的所作所为”。
7. A。本来作者是参加一个交际培训班，而现在教员所要学员做的一切似乎与培养交际能力无关，所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高(improve)他的交际能力。
8. B。make a list 意为“列表、造表”。
9. C。none of us kids liked是定语从句，前面省略了关系代词whom / that(代替Sheriff)，选none表示Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴都不喜欢那位郡长(Sheriff)，与下文吻合。
10. C。play a trick on sb 意为“捉弄某人”。
11. B。sign 意为“记号、标记、符号”，指Jimmy他们写的字。
12. D。ever用于否定句表示“在任何时候、从来”，由于Jimmy说了谎话，所以“从来就没人查明事实真相(found out)”。与下文“几乎20年后再提及此事”相呼应。
13. A。appear 意为“出现”，指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。
14. D。alive 意为“活着的”，此时Jimmy还不知道Sheriff Brown是否活着，与后面他们接通电话，证实了Sheriff Brown还活着。所以此处不宜用其他形容词。
15. B。ring 意为“铃声”，这里指电话被拨通。
16. D。由we had a good laugh 可知 Sheriff 和 Jimmy 进行的是热烈的(lively)讨论。所以不宜选其他形容词。
17. D。后面的句子说明原因，故选 because 引导原因状语从句：因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事给忘了。
18. A。around 意为“大约”，此句表示：而 Jimmy 却这些(nearly20年)年来一直把他所做过的错事记在心头。
19. C。clear up 意为“消除、解除”，此句意为：在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有101项(做错了事情)。
20. C。 right 意为“纠正”，此句意为：纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。
