In the past twenty years,there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another.While some newly independent countries have 1 most jobs to local people,others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers.This is particularly the 2 in the Middle East,where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to 3 outsiders to improve local facilities.Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the USA and Europe.It has brought in construction workers and technicians from many countries, including South Korea and Japan.
In view of the 4 living and working conditions in the Middle East, surprising it is not that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country,and this is a 5 attraction.An allied(联合的) benefit is the low 6 or a complete lack of it.This 7 the amount of pay received by visiting workers and is very popular with them.
Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating(补偿的) advantage. 8 ,the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other for safety and comfort. 9 , many migrant workers can save large sum of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities.The work is often complex and
full of problems but this merely presents greater 10 to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do 11 work in their home country.
One major problem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are 12 ones.They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence.This is to be 13 since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents.In any case,migrant workers accept this 14 ,along with others,because of the 15 financial benefits which they receive.

第二部分 完形填空
一、高考考情分析
1.题型
完形填空是在阅读的基础上考查考生对词汇知识的综合运用能力,不仅考查考生的逻辑思维能力和对文章语境的把握能力,更是对考生整体语篇意义理解的连贯性和运用语言的准确性的考查。要求考生通读全文,掌握大意,综合运用所学的词汇、语法等方面的知识,从所给选项中选出最佳选项,填入空白处后能使短文意思通顺,结构完整。新高考中,完形填空的题量由20个减至15个,每小题分值由1.5分减至1分,满分由30分减至15分。
2.命题特点
文章以记叙文为主,偶尔考查夹叙夹议和说明文。文章首句不设空,让考生对故事背景有初步了解。空格分布均匀,设空处兼顾词、句和篇章三个层面,着重考查对语篇的理解和对动词、名词、形容词和副词等实词的运用。
3.2020~2022年新高考真题完形填空考点分布
考点 年份/卷别 名词 动词 形容词 副词 词组或 短语 正确答 案分布 合计
2022年 新高考Ⅰ卷 5 5 2 1 2 4344 15
新高考Ⅱ卷 6 6 2 1 0 4344 15
2021年 新高考Ⅰ卷 8 4 2 0 1 4434 15
2020年 新高考Ⅰ卷(山东卷) 7 4 2 1 1 3444 15
新高考Ⅱ卷(海南卷) 4 8 1 1 1 4443 15
从上表可以看出,在新高考中,动词、名词、形容词、副词在语篇和语境中的运用特别重要,强调了对考纲内词汇熟词生义的考查,侧重于在具体的语境中理解词汇特殊的含义。另外,对于动词短语和固定搭配的积累和记忆也尤为重要。这些都是我们在备考中必须注意的。
二、高考解题策略
1.研读首句,通读全文,把握主旨。考生做题时需整体把握,把握文章脉络、结构,理解作者的态度、观点和表达习惯等。
2.注重语境,上下结合,初选答案。在掌握文章大意的基础上复读全文,边读边选,先易后难。从上下文语境、语意、语法、词义等多种角度进行筛选分析。对于少数难题,暂时跳过,或许在后文会出现明显的提示词。
3.检查全文,统筹兼顾,确保最佳。填空全部完成后,考生还要进行复查,仔细推敲。检查文章语意是否前后一致,上下是否连贯,内容是否完整,所选答案是否符合句法结构。要做到整体把握,不确定的地方,应结合文章的主题,从意义、语法或其他方面重新考虑,确保选择最佳答案。
三、给术科生的建议
要在100天内征服完形填空,除了要有打硬仗的心理准备,不怕挫折,越战越勇,还需做到:
1.尽快巩固基础知识,提高基本能力,尤其是对考纲词汇的记忆;
2.多阅读,熟悉记叙文文体,特别是记叙文的结构和理解方式,提高阅读理解能力;
3.总结出自己的个性化词汇,边读边建立自己的词库,特别是要熟记历年全国高考题中出现的高级词汇和熟词生义;
4.保证两天一次的真题实战,分梯级、有策略地找到适合自己的解题方法。
