“有提示词类”解题攻略
(一)高频考点之一:提示词为动词
1.考查谓语动词
解题 攻略 若句中无谓语动词,或者虽然已有谓语动词,但需填的动词与之是并列关系时,所给动词就是谓语动词;此时,应先考虑时态,考生可以根据句中的时间状语或语篇提示确定时态,然后考虑语态,最后需考虑主谓一致和语气问题,来确定谓语动词的数。
典例1 While running regularly can't make you live forever, the review says it ____ (be) more effective at lengthening life than walking, cycling or swimming. 分析:分析句子结构可知,前半句是由while引导的让步状语从句,后半句是主句,主句中含有一个宾语从句,即it ...or swimming作says的宾语。又因此处是对客观情况的描述,应用一般现在时,再根据主谓一致原则可知,应填is。
典例2 Diets have changed in China — and so too has its top crop. Since 2011, the country __ __ (grow) more corn than rice. 分析:分析句子成分可知,空格所在的句子中缺少谓语动词。根据时间状语Since 2011可知,谓语动词需用现在完成时,根据句意可知应用主动语态,再根据主谓一致原则可知填has grown。
典例3 The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 — when the government ____ (start) a soil testing program that gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers — and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. 分析:分析句子结构可知,when the government ____ (start) a soil testing program为关系副词when引导的定语从句,先行词为2005。通过分析定语从句可知从句中缺少谓语动词,再根据时间状语between 2005可知应填一般过去时,根据句意可知需用主动语态,故填started。
2.考查非谓语动词
解题 攻略 若句中已有谓语动词,空处又不在句中作并列谓语时,所要填的通常是非谓语动词,此时需进一步确定是非谓语动词的哪种形式。一般来说,作主语、宾语、表语、定语通常用动名词形式;此外,doing表示主动、正在进行;done表示被动、完成;to do表示尚未发生的动作。
典例4 You don't have to run fast or for long __ __ (see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk of ____ (die) early by running. 分析:第一句中已有谓语动词don't have to run,故空格处应为非谓语动词。根据句意可知应填不定式to see,作目的状语。第二句中已有谓语动词reduce,故空格处应为非谓语动词。又因空格前有介词of,结合句意可知,应填dying,作介词of的宾语。
典例5 Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice ____ (improve) water quality. 分析:句中已有谓语动词encourages,故空格处应为非谓语动词。根据句意可知应填不定式to improve,作目的状语。
典例6 China's approach to protecting its environment while ___ (feed) its citizens “offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide,” says the bank's Juergen Voegele. 分析:分析句子成分可知,句中已有谓语动词offers,再根据空格前有从属连词while可知,“while ____ (feed) its citizens”为时间状语从句的省略结构,所填的词与其逻辑主语China之间为主动关系,故应填现在分词feeding。
典例7 But my connection with pandas goes back to my days on a TV show in the mid 1980s, when I was the first Western TV reporter ____(permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. 分析:when引导的从句中已经有谓语动词was,且从句中无其他连词,故空处应填非谓语动词。reporter与permit之间是被动关系,故用过去分词表被动。过去分词短语permitted to ...作后置定语,修饰reporter。故填permitted。
3.考查派生词
解题 攻略 有时所给提示词虽然是动词,但是空格处既不是考查谓语动词也不是考查非谓语动词,而是要求填所给词的派生词。此时要结合空格处前后的修饰词来确定所给提示词应派生为哪种词性。一般考查动词派生为名词,有时还需考虑动词变为形容词甚至副词。
典例8 This switch has decreased __66__ (pollute) in the country's major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. 分析:分析句子成分可知空格前面有谓语动词has decreased,其后缺少宾语,故填名词pollution。
典例9 This development was only possible with the ___ (introduce) of electric powered engines and lifts. 分析:由前面的定冠词the可知,其后应接名词,故填introduction。
(二)高频考点之二:提示词为名词
解题 攻略 所给提示词为名词时,通常考查可数名词的单数变复数,或名词派生为形容词、动词等。
典例10 Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014 that showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all ___ (cause). 分析:分析句子成分可知,from all ___ (cause)为介词短语作后置定语,空处位于介词之后作宾语,又因空格前面有all,所以填其复数形式causes。
典例11 To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to ____ (strength) your leg muscles (肌肉), avoid hills and get good running shoes. 分析:分析句子成分可知,空格前面有谓语动词do,再根据句意可知,此处应填动词形式,与空前的不定式符号to构成不定式短语,在句中作目的状语。故填strengthen。
典例12 The Central London Railway was one of the most ____ (success) of these new lines, and was opened in 1900. 分析:根据语境并结合空前的the most可知,空处表达最高级意义。故填successful。
(三)高频考点之三:提示词为形容词或副词
解题 攻略 当提示词为形容词或副词时,需考虑是否是考查比较级或形容词和副词之间的相互转换。当提示词为形容词时,还要考虑是否需要转换为名词形式。
典例13 (2018·全国卷Ⅰ)According to a review of evidence in a medical journal, runners live three years ____ (long) than non runners. 分析:根据空格后面的than可知,此处考查比较级形式,故填longer。
典例14 A taste for meat is __63__ (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. 分析:分析句子成分可知,空处在句中作状语,修饰谓语动词is应用副词。故填actually。
(四)低频考点:提示词为代词
解题 攻略 所给提示词是代词时,一般考查人称代词变为物主代词。有时需考虑人称代词单数变为复数、主格变为宾格、人称代词变为反身代词等。
典例15 When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find ___ (they) alive. 分析:因空处作动词find的宾语,故应填人称代词的宾格形式,即them。
典例16 On my recent visit, I held a lively three month old twin that had been rejected by __68__ (it) mother. 分析:mother是名词,所填词作定语修饰mother,故填其形容词性物主代词its。
二、“无提示词类”解题攻略
(一)高频考点之一:填介词
解题 攻略 当名词或代词在句中不作主语、表语或动词的宾语时,其前面一般是填介词。对介词的考查通常侧重于固定搭配中的介词及常见介词的习惯用法。
典例1 My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a scientist who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching ____ these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried. 分析:search for是固定搭配,表示“寻找”,此处指“我”在寻找“我”研究的三只西部低地大猩猩。故填for。
典例2 It ran for just under seven kilometers and allowed people to avoid terrible crowds on the roads above as they travelled to and ____ work. 分析:travel to and from work表示“上下班”,故填from。
(二)高频考点之二:填冠词
解题 攻略 当空格后有名词而且两者搭配在一起表示泛指或特指含义,或者空格处修饰序数词、最高级、表示特指意义的比较级等形式时,那么空格处一般是填冠词。有时还考查冠词在一些固定搭配中的用法。
典例3 Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over ____ past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. 分析:句意:玉米产量在过去25年里增长了近125%,而大米只增长了7%。特指在过去的25年里。故填定冠词the。
典例4 Unexpectedly, I'm face to face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at ____ top of her lungs. 分析:固定短语at the top of“在……的顶部”,此处表示以最大的肺活量喊叫。故填the。
(三)高频考点之三:填从属关联词
解题 攻略 当空格前后为两个句子,且其中一个句子在另一句中充当某一句子成分时,空格处应填从属关联词。一般情况下,考查的是定语从句的关联词,有时也考查名词性从句或状语从句的关联词。
典例5 Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014 ____ showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all causes. 分析:分析句子结构可知,空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a study,并在定语从句中作主语,故填that/which。
典例6 Over time, ____ the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. 分析:根据句意和句子结构可知,空格处引导时间状语从句,表示“随着”或“当……时候”,故填as/when。
(四)低频考点:填并列连词
解题攻略 当空格前后是同一层次并具有相同句法功能的词、短语或句子时,空格处一般是填并列连词。
典例7 Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice to improve water quality. Corn uses less water ____ rice and creates less fertilizer (化肥) runoff. 分析:根据比较级less可知,此处将玉米和水稻用水量进行比较,需填连词,故填than。

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The Year in a Word or Two
Can anybody describe a year with only one word
Each December, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) nominates (提名) a word to describe the very year ___21___ has just passed.
2020 was a very unusual year that was really worthy ___22___ (describe) with two words. Two of the obvious words the OED suggested were “pandemic (疫情)” and “lockdown,” due to most of human activities across the globe ___23___ (bring) to a stop by the life-threatening disease. Businesses have been closed and people have had to stay in their homes for weeks or even months on end.
___24___ I would like to nominate “cooperation” and “hope” as my words of the year because it is supposed to be described in a more positive and ___25___ (helpless) way, because there was a great deal of cooperation between countries and international health organizations. China took a leading role in this effort by sending masks and protective clothing to Canada, the United States and Europe, ___26___ to countries in the Middle East and Africa. Without this cooperation, the pandemic, bad ___27___ it has been, could have been much worse.
And that brings me to my second word: hope. We are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and, with a little “hope,” we will get to see the world begin to return to normal.
For young people, it was the first time that they ___28___ (experience) something big, a worry that they shared with their families, friends and neighbors, and a suffering ___29___ (endure) at this moment and to be endured next few weeks. And they also learned that “hope” — the belief that ___30___ you will see tomorrow will be better than today — is at the heart of every human being.
With “cooperation” and “hope,” 2021 should make for a wonderful year.
这是一篇议论文。对于2020年,《牛津英语词典》推荐用两个单词是“疫情”和“封锁”作为年度词汇,但是作者认为应该用“合作”和“希望”作为年度词汇,并解释了原因。
21. 【答案】that 考查定语从句。句意:每年12月,《牛津英语词典》(OED)都会选出一个词来描述刚刚过去的这一年。定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为year,被the very修饰,所以用关系代词that。故填that。
22. 【答案】to be described 考查固定搭配。句意:2020年是非常不寻常的一年,真的可以用两个词来形容。be worthy to be done意为“值得(被做)……”,为固定搭配。故填to be described。
23. 【答案】having been brought / being brought 考查动名词和被动语态。句意:牛津英语词典推荐的两个明显的单词是“疫情”和“封锁”,因为全球范围内的大多数人类活动已经被这种威胁生命的疾病停止了。due to后应用动名词作宾语。动词bring和逻辑主语most of human activities构成被动关系,所以可用动名词的一般式的被动形式。因为大多数人类活动已经被这种威胁生命的疾病停止了这件事发生在牛津英语词典推荐这两个词之前,所以也可以用动名词的完成式的被动形式。故填having been brought或being brought。
24. 【答案】But 考查连词。句意:但是,我想提名“合作”和“希望”作为我的年度词汇,因为这应该用一种更加积极和不那么无助的方式来描述,因为各国和国际卫生组织之间进行了大量的合作。前文讲牛津英语词典推荐的两个明显的单词是“疫情”和“封锁”,后文“I would like to nominate “cooperation” and “hope” as my words of the year”与之构成转折关系,且空格后没有逗号,所以应用转折词but。故填But。
25.【答案】 less helpless 考查形容词比较级。句意:但是,我想提名“合作”和“希望”作为我的年度词汇,因为这应该用一种更加积极和不那么无助的方式来描述,因为各国和国际卫生组织之间进行了大量的合作。“疫情”和“封锁”这两个词是很消极和无助的,所以“合作”和“希望”是不那么无助的。所以应用比较级less helpless。故填less helpless。
26. 【答案】as well as 考查介词短语。句意:中国在这方面发挥了主导作用,向加拿大、美国、欧洲以及中东和非洲国家运送口罩和防护服。根据前文“to Canada, the United States and Europe”可知,此处是指也向中东和非洲国家运送口罩和防护服。所以应用介词短语as well as,意为“也”。故填as well as。
27. 【答案】as / though 考查让步状语从句。句意:如果没有这种合作,大流行虽然已经很糟糕,但可能会更糟。“bad it has been”和“could have been much worse”构成转折关系,所以此处应为让步状语从句。因为“bad it has been”为部分倒装,所以表示“尽管”应用as或though。故填as或though。
28. 【答案】had experienced 考查动词时态。句意:对年轻人来说,这是他们第一次经历一件大事,一件他们要与家人、朋友和邻居分享的忧虑,一件此刻正在忍受的痛苦,以及在接下来的几周内将要忍受的痛苦。“it was the+序数词+time+that从句”句式中,that从句应使用过去完成时。故填had experienced。
29. 【答案】being endured 考查非谓语动词。句意:对年轻人来说,这是他们第一次经历一件大事,一件他们要与家人、朋友和邻居分享的忧虑,一件此刻正在忍受的痛苦,以及在接下来的几周内将要忍受的痛苦。根据at this moment可知,此处表示正在进行,所以应用现在分词。动词endure意为“忍受”,和逻辑主语suffering构成被动关系。所以应用现在分词的一般式的被动形式作后置定语。故填being endured。
30. 【答案】what考查主语从句。句意:他们还了解到,“希望”——相信你将看到的明天会比今天更好——是每个人心中的信念。在主语从句中缺少主语,且是指事情,所以应用what引导。故填what。

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.
The reality of college can be pretty different from the images _____21_____ (present) in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.
This isn’t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students _____22_____ (be) on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work all year round. About one-quarter of those who work while _____23_____ (attend) school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical____24____developing important professional and social skills that make ____25____easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way ____26____(ensure) a job later on.
But it’s not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that _____27_____ they’re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance ______28______ students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students ______29______ end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn’t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students _______30_______ (far) into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章提到了自上世纪70年代就出现的一种现象,大学生会一边打工一边上学,以此减轻生活负担并积累工作经验,但与此同时也因为无法兼顾工作和学业,可能导致无法毕业。
21. 【答案】presented 考查非谓语动词。句意:大学的现实可能与电影和电视中呈现的形象大不相同。名词images与present之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填presented。
22. 【答案】has been 考查时态。句意:自20世纪70年代以来,打工的学生比例一直在上升,五分之一的学生全年都在打工。根据句中时间状语since the 1970s可知,用一般现在时。主语The share of working students为单数,所以谓语动词用has。故填has been。
23. 【答案】attending 考查非谓语动词。句意:在那些一边工作一边上学的人中,约有四分之一的人既有全日制课程又有全职工作。句中逻辑主语those 与attend之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作定语。故填attending。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了好莱坞正在制作的大片《海洋深处》拍摄了迄今为止历史上最惊险刺激的鲸鱼袭击场景之一,这部电影讲述了美国捕鲸船埃塞克斯号的真实冒险故事。
36. 【答案】most dramatic 考查形容词最高级。句意:好莱坞正在为即将上映的大片《海洋深处》制作迄今为止历史上最惊险刺激的鲸鱼袭击场景之一。根据名词scenes可知此处要用形容词,作定语,由“one of history's”可知要用形容词最高级。故填most dramatic。
37.【答案】 to be released 考查动词不定式。句意:这部电影将于12月在美国上映,讲述了美国捕鲸船埃塞克斯号的真实冒险故事。be due to do,预定做某事,此处省略be作后置定语,release和逻辑主语The film之间是被动关系,因此要用不定式的被动式。故填to be released。
38. 【答案】fat 考查名词。句意:船上的船员是在捕抹香鲸,抹香鲸的脂肪可以制成有价值的鲸油。此处是一个非限制性定语从句,由whose可知此处要用名词,fat“脂肪”,是不可数名词。故填fat。
39. 【答案】that 考查强调句。句意:就是在那里,全体船员遭遇了灾难。分析句子可知,此句是强调句,强调句结构是is/was it+被强调部分+that/who+其他,被强调部分是there,故填that。
40. 【答案】On 考查介词。句意:1820年11月20日早上8点,他们发现了一群鲸鱼。根据Nov.20, 1820可知具体日期要用介词on,位于句首要大写。故填On。
41.【答案】 rose 考查时态。句意:突然,当鲸鱼上升呼吸空气时,水面裂开了。此句是由as连接的状语从句,主语是the whales,此处是谓语动词,由上文谓语broke可知此处时态也是一般过去时,rise的过去式是rose。故填rose。
42. 【答案】a 考查冠词。句意:后来,Chase注意到又有第三条鲸鱼“直接”朝这艘船游去。“a(n)+序数词+单数名词”表示“又、再”,third 的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
43. 【答案】amazement 考查名词。句意:“我们用无比惊讶的眼神看着对方。”根据形容词perfect可知此处要用名词,作宾语,amazement“惊讶”是不可数名词。故填amazement。
44. 【答案】stuck 考查非谓语动词。句意:20个人幸存了下来,被困在海中。根据谓语动词survived可知此处要用非谓语动词,由Twenty men和stick之间是被动关系,可知要用过去分词作状语。故填stuck。
45. 【答案】when考查连词。句意:此外,他们的小船被海浪分开了,当救援最终到达时,只剩下八个人。根据“help finally arrived”可知此处要用连词when,连接时间状语从句。故填when。
