知备考方向
①完形填空要求考生在正确理解语篇主旨大意的基础上,关注具体语境中不同词语、句子和整个语篇结构之间的联系,检测其对英语词法、句法及语篇知识的掌握情况。考生要培养语篇分析能力,养成良好的解题习惯,通过阅读文本材料构成信息链,形成句内、段内、篇内的联系;复核答案时要从全篇角度审视本空所选单词是否恰当、与上下文内容是否一致等。
②牢固掌握词汇的基本用法,适当拓展一些高频词汇的熟词生义、一词多义;专门进行词汇辨析和词汇的机械记忆效果并不好,通过阅读语篇来培养思维能力和掌握语言知识是比较有效的方法。
③掌握答题步骤和答题方法,进行合理科学的训练,重视文章的关键句、主题句(常常是首句或尾句),从而快速把握住文章的主题思想和感情基调以及作者的观点、态度。
④选择一些英语美文和比较典型的高考真题进行诵读,培养语感,渗透语言知识和文化背景知识,提升思维品质,培养学科素养。

【解析】 作者前往Harenna Forest,跟随养蜂人Ziyad目睹了一次收蜂蜜的过程。
1.D 根据下文内容可知,作者见证了蜂蜜收获的过程,故选D。witness"见证,目击,当场看到"。
2.C 根据下文的"Ziyad got close to the hive which was around 20 metres above the ground"和"Ziyad escaped from the tree"可知,养蜂人Ziyad爬到了离地面约20米的高处,故可知蜂箱应该在树顶,故选C。courtyard "庭院,院子";field"田,地,领域";cave"山洞"。
3.B 由下文内容可知,Ziyad要爬到距离地面约20米的树顶收蜂蜜,结合下文的"kept attacking as Ziyad escaped from the tree"可知,这个行为时常是危险的,故选B。urgent"紧急的";pointless"无意义的"。
4.C 由下文内容可知,作者目睹了Ziyad收蜂蜜的过程,故作者跟着养蜂人Ziyad经过草地并进入茂密的丛林去收获蜂蜜,故选C。search"搜寻";recognise"认出"。
5.A 根据下文的"wrapped them with string, and 6 the bunch to create a torch (火把)"可知,Ziyad把一把把潮湿的树叶收集起来,再用绳子绑成一束做成火把,故选A。
6.B 结合上题解析及下文的"blew smoke from his torch into a tiny hole in the hive"可知,Ziyad点燃了树叶做成的火把,还把烟吹进了蜂箱里的小洞中,故选B。shake"摇动";light"点燃";measure"测量"; decorate"装饰"。
7.D 结合下文内容可知,Ziyad爬到离地面约20米的树顶;再由上文的"with one end of a rope ... trunk of a tree"可知,Ziyad已经做好开始爬树的准备了,故选D。
8.C 根据上题解析可知,Ziyad是绑着绳子沿着树干向上爬的,因此他每隔几分钟停下来,把绳子移到树干更高的地方以方便继续往上爬,故选C。
9.A 由空后的"Ziyad got close to the hive"可知,最终,Ziyad到达了树顶,故选A。naturally"自然地"; immediately"立即,马上"。
10.D 由上文可知,收获蜂蜜是一个艰难且危险的工作,而且是在离地面约20米的树顶上作业,因此 Ziyad应该是小心翼翼地朝着蜂箱缓慢移动,故选D。inch"(使朝某方向)谨慎移动"。
11.C 由空后的"was back on the ground"可知,Ziyad从树上回到地面上了,故选C。cut off"切掉";go up "向上";slide down"滑下来";hold onto"握住"。
12.B 由下文的"A cool summer... still in the honeycombs (蜂巢)"可知,幼蜂还在蜂巢里,没有出去采蜜,因此那时还不是收获蜂蜜的时候,故选B。
13.A 结合空前、空后内容可知,现在收获蜂蜜太早了,幼蜂还没长到足够大出去采蜜,因此可推测是气候原因延迟了蜜蜂的孵化,故选A。hatch"孵化";train"训练";sow"播种";trade"做买卖"。
14.D 由上文的"Suddenly, Ziyad let out a sharp cry"及语境可知,Ziyad把火把的烟吹到蜂箱里的小洞中这个行为惹恼了成年的蜜蜂,因此成年蜜蜂一直在攻击他,故选D。curious"好奇的"。
15.A 根据第13题的解析可知,现在不是收获蜂蜜的时机,还需等待一个合适的时候,故选A。 equipment"设备";order"订单,命令"。

【解析】 本文主要讲述了作者很多年前在意大利的加尔法尼亚纳(Garfagnana)买了一套房子,第一次去那里住的时候,邻居Mario骑着摩托车给作者送来了一些西红柿和一瓶葡萄酒。西红柿和葡萄酒都其貌不扬,但邻居的好意让作者决定试一试。没想到,西红柿让作者想起了儿时吃的西红柿的味道,葡萄酒也完美。这让作者不禁感叹:不能以貌取"物"。而通过Mario的礼物,作者也感受到了加尔法尼亚纳的味道。
1.D 根据上文中的"I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer"可以看出,此处讲的是作者第一次居住(stayed)期间的故事。camp"宿营,露营"。
2.A 根据上文中的"we heard the chug-chug-chug of a motorbike"和下文中的"down the hill toward us"可知,摩托车是向作者家行进(making its way)的。make one’s way"前进,行进";search one’s way"探路"; squeeze one’s way"挤过去";feel one’s way"摸索前进"。
3.B 根据上文中的"The first time we 1 there"和下文中的"some tomatoes and a bottle of wine"可以推测,Mario应该是作者的邻居(neighbor)。
4.C 根据上一空可知,Mario是作者的邻居,他在作者第一次到来的时候,给作者带来(bring)一些西红柿和一瓶葡萄酒以示欢迎。
5.D 根据上文可知,Mario在作者第一次到来的时候,给作者送礼物。结合常识可知,这是一种善意的表示(gesture),故选D项。choice"选择,挑选,抉择";comment"议论,评论,解释";gesture"(表明感情或意图的)姿态,表示"。
6.A 根据下文中的"because they were so misshapen"可以推测,Mario送来了一些奇形怪状的西红柿,这让作者很担忧(worried)。thrilled"非常兴奋,极为激动";bored"厌烦的"。
7.C 根据下文中的"you get in a supermarket"可知,空处讲的是超市里的西红柿的情况。结合生活常识可知,超市里的西红柿看起来漂亮、圆圆的而又有光泽(shiny)。shiny"光亮的,锃亮的,反光的,有光泽的"。
8.B 根据上文中对西红柿的描述及"the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label(标签) on it"可知,由于西红柿外观不好,酒很浑浊,且酒瓶老旧,没有标签,作者觉得这瓶葡萄酒的质量也好(good)不到哪里去。
9.B 根据上文可知,作者第一次来,Mario就给作者送礼物。因此,哪怕礼物看起来不怎么好,作者对Mario的善良还是很感激的(thankful for)。be sympathetic to"对……表示同情";be thankful for"对……表示感激";be cautious about"对……谨慎";be interested in"对……感兴趣"。
10.A 根据下文中的"Those tomatoes had a 13 that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child"和"it was 17 "可知,作者还是试着(tried)吃了西红柿,并试喝了葡萄酒。
11.C 根据下文中的"Those tomatoes had a 13 that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child"可知,西红柿很好吃,因此只根据西红柿奇形怪状的外表就判断它不好,这是不明智的 (unwise)。uncertain"犹豫,不确定的"。
12.A 根据上文中的"we were 6 because they were so misshapen"可知,作者之前就根据西红柿的外表对其进行了评判,这里作者表示仅凭你吃的东西的外表作评判是不明智的。appearance"外表,外貌"; origin"起源,源头,起因"。
13.D 根据常识可知,应该是西红柿的味道(taste)让作者想起了小时候叔叔种的西红柿,且这一点也可以通过下文的"Nowadays supermarket tomatoes 14 perfect but taste of water"进行印证。
14.B 根据上文中的"the nice, round, 7 things you get in a supermarket"可知,超市里的西红柿看起来 (look)很完美。
15.A 根据上文提到的超市里的西红柿看起来很完美,但寡而无味和常识可知,这样的西红柿无法给人们留下美好的(happy)回忆。vivid"(记忆、描述等)生动的,逼真的,(光、颜色等)鲜艳的,鲜明的"; vague"不明确的,不清楚的,(形状)模糊的"。
16.D 上文对超市卖的西红柿进行了吐槽,本句依然是对这些西红柿的吐槽。根据"It’s a surprise they haven’t managed to grow square ones"可知,此处作者是在吐槽人们为什么不把西红柿种成方的,这样还好包装(pack)呢。
17.A 空前空后形成了转折。结合空前的"Mario’s wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle"可知,Mario的酒可能是浑浊的,是从一个旧瓶子里倒出来的,但是他的酒完美(perfect)。convenient"方便的,便利的";familiar"熟悉的,常见的,普通的"。
18.C 根据上文中的"It’s good to eat things at the correct time"和常识可知,当季的(in season)食物是可口的。on view"展览着";on sale"出售,折价销售";in season"当季的";in need"贫困的,困难中的"。
19.D 根据上文可知,Mario送来的西红柿是当地的,结合上文中的"as close as possible"也可以判断,作者认为要吃离种植(grown)地尽可能近的食物。store"贮存,储藏"。
20.B 此处呼应上文中的"coming to 4 us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine",故选B项。

【解析】 作者从自己一家人过去10年里野营的经历中摘取两个片段作了描述,一次是在溪边露营,三岁的儿子掉进小溪中;另外一次,作者一家人在湖中乘船垂钓时遭遇暴风雨,所幸一个渔民把作者一家人拖到了岸边。
1.C 前文说在过去10年里作者一家有美好的野营经历(My husband... over the past ten years),下文说 "especially from the early years when our children were little",由此判断此处应选C,表示"记忆,回忆"。idea"想法";joke"玩笑";discovery"发现"。
2.A 根据下文的"He was 4 , and his crying let the whole campground know it"可知,此处表示作者一家在Chalk Creek旁边露营,因此应选A,表示"露营,野营"。
3.D 根据空后的"that our 15-month-old boy would fall into the creek (小溪)"可知,这里说的是作者担心他们15个月的儿子会掉进小溪里,因此选D。
4.C 前文说作者"tied a rope around his waist to keep him near to our spot",下文提到孩子哭叫。由此可推知,孩子哭叫是因为他被绳子拴住腰部感到不舒服(uncomfortable),因此选C。注意文中细致的描述并厘清故事的脉络才能正确解答本题:被绳子拴住腰部→不舒服→哭叫。
5.B 前文说作者用绳子拴住15个月大的儿子的腰部,孩子因不舒服而哭叫,下文说 "I just kept a close eye on him",由此可知,这里表示作者不再用绳子拴着他,因此选B,表示"而不是,代替"。
6.A 根据上文内容和下文中的"he didn’t end up in the creek"可知,这里表示作者在露营的时候一直密切关注自己15个月大的儿子,这一招很有效,儿子最终没有掉进小溪里,故选A。
7.D 根据语境可知,此处指作者一家人出发时天气还是晴朗的,但暴风雨快速来临了。因此这里应用 head off表示"出发"。
8.B 根据语境及常识可知,这里指突如其来的暴风雨打断了作者一家平静的旅行,因此选B,表示"打断"。
9.A 前文说山中暴风雨来得很快,再结合空后的 "picked up and thunder rolled"可知,此处应选A,表示"风越来越大"。
10.C 根据空前的"stopped fishing"及下文中的"We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor"可知,作者一家人乘坐的船原本停在湖中,作者的丈夫在钓鱼,暴风雨来临时作者的丈夫停止钓鱼去启动(start)船只的发动机,因此选C。
11.A 结合前文的"Nothing"和下文中的"We were stuck in the middle of the lake"可知,作者的丈夫再次启动发动机,不幸的是还是发动不了,故选A。
12.D 前文说发动机发动不了,作者一家人被困在湖中,由此可推知,当时作者一家人无计可施,因此选D,表示"无助地"。
13.C 前文说作者一家人被困湖中,此时一个渔民把作者一家人拖到岸边,由此可推知,最终作者一家人安全了,因此选C。
14.D 下文说"wondering what camping fun and 15 we will experience next",由此可知,作者很喜欢这样的经历,因此选D,表示"兴奋"。
15.B 根据前文对两次野营经历的描述可知,此处应用名词adventure表示"冒险的刺激"。

【解析】 一箱辣肠,一群海鸥,一片"乱局",一次处罚,一段道歉,一生感悟。
1.B 语境语义 根据本句可知,Burchill因公入住(staying)费尔蒙特帝后大酒店。study"学习,研究"; look"看";pack"打包,收拾,塞进,堆积"。
2.A 语境语义 根据下一句可知,朋友们早前让他从东部家乡带(bring)一些辣香肠来。由此判断, Burchill计划去看望(visit)友人。
3.C 语境语义 参见上题解析。
4.A 语境语义 因此,他装了(filled)一满箱辣香肠。lock"锁上,锁住";abandon"遗弃,抛弃";lose"遗失,损失,输掉"。
5.D 逻辑推理 担心(worried)室内暖和的温度会影响辣香肠的存放,保险起见,Burchill将辣香肠摊放在窗边的桌上。
6.D 语境语义 参见上题解析。dig out"挖掘出,发现";clear out"把……腾空,清除";cut out"裁剪,删除";lay out"摊放"。
7.B 逻辑推理 Burchill认为辣香肠摆放在窗边很安全(safe)。delicious"美味的,可口的";soft"柔软的,柔和的";ready"准备好的,现成的"。

14.A 逻辑推理 根据上文中的"They rushed...the lamps were falling down"可推知,现场一片混乱(mess)。 puzzle"智力游戏,不解之谜";fight"搏斗,斗争,竞赛";challenge"挑战"。
15.D 语境语义 根据第四段可知,随着年龄的增长,Burchill更加睿智,他将那件事归因于年轻时的莽撞。由此可见,此处填入的词在语义范畴上应与Older和wiser一致,故用mature"成熟"。recover"康复,恢复,找回";retire"退休,离开,撤离";escape"逃跑,摆脱"。
16.D 语境语义 此处表示"我承认该为自己的行为(actions)负责,因为自己间接(indirectly)对酒店造成了破坏,我来这里表达诚挚的(hat in hand)歉意"。

However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably 2 at hiding.They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 3 .
For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 4 as evidence that children are hopelessly "egocentric" (自我中心的) creatures.But our 5 research results in child developmental psychology 6 that idea.
We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC. Each 7 sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 8 . We then asked the child if she could 9 or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn’t. The same 10 happened when the adult

【解析】 人们常常认为学龄前儿童很不擅长玩捉迷藏,因为他们常常只把自己的眼睛遮上,而身体的其他部位却暴露在外。很长时间以来,人们把孩子们的这一行为解释为"以自我为中心"。但最近在儿童发展心理学方面令人惊讶的研究结果反驳了那个观点。实验证明,孩子们之所以有如此行为,是因为他们认为"只有你也能看到我,我才能看到你",这说明孩子们之间存在着相互承认和尊重,而非"以自我为中心"。
1.C 根据下文中的"making oneself unable to be seen"可推断,避开(escaping)别人的目光,使自己不被人看见,这是一件非常令人兴奋的事情。
2.B 根据下文中的"They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 3 "可知,他们常常只是用手遮住自己的眼睛,把身体其他部位暴露在外,由此可推断,他们不擅长隐藏。

7.B 由上句中的"children"可知,此处是指每个孩子(child)都与一名成人坐在一起。
8.D 逻辑推理 由下句中的"hear"可推断出此空填"ears"。
9.A 逻辑推理 由上句中的"eyes"可推断出此空填"see"。
10.B 根据语境可知,当成年人捂住自己的嘴时,同样的事情(thing)发生了。
11.B 这么一来(Now),孩子们说他们不能和她说话。
12.A 逻辑推理 由上文的"mouth"可推断出此空填"speak"。
13.C 根据语境可知,许多实验(experiments)排除了孩子们误解了他们被问到的问题这种可能性。 instruction "指示,命令,用法说明";description "描述";assumption"假设"。
14.A 孩子们理解(comprehended)这些问题,并且确切地(exactly)知道他们被问到了什么。 predict"预言"; explore"探索";ignore"忽视"。

17.B 参见上题解析。ability"能力";identity"身份";purpose"目的"。
18.C 根据语境可知,他们只是坚持(insist on)相互的承认和尊重。hold back"隐瞒, 阻止";make up"构成,编造"。
19.D 根据语境可知,我们的研究发现(findings)表明,当孩子在头上盖一条毯子"隐藏"时,这并不是自我中心主义的结果。limitation"限制";requirement"必备条件";theory"理论"。
