技法点拨 1.生活常识 完形填空所选的文章多是具有一定故事情节和教育意义的记叙文。这些文章贴近考生的生活，会涉及对生活常识的考查。考生要准确理解语境，根据生活常识选出正确答案。 典例 [2021·新高考Ⅱ卷·片段]In the 1990s, a group of thieves often sold stolen goods with the help of some beggars. To look into the case, Wang disguised（伪装） himself and joined the beggars. Dirty shorts and old shoes gave him the 46 of a real beggar and his convincing dialect soon won him the trust of the beggars. 46. ( C ) A. challenge B. experience C. appearance D. freedom 思路点拨 考查名词。句意：肮脏的短裤和旧鞋子赋予了他一个真正的乞丐的外表，他那令人信服的方言很快为他赢得了乞丐们的信任。根据生活常识可知，他的穿着打扮就是一个乞丐的外表。故选C项。 真题体验 1. [2022·新高考Ⅰ卷·片段]My husband, our children and I have had wonderful camping experiences over the past ten years. Some of our memories are funny, especially from the early years when our children were little. Once, we camped along Chalk Creek. I was 43 that our 15-month-old boy would fall into the creek （小溪）. I tied a rope around his waist to keep him near to our spot. 43. ( D ) A. annoyed B. surprised C. disappointed D. worried [解析]考查形容词。句意：我担心我们15个月大的儿子会掉进小溪里。作者一家在一条小溪边野营，根据生活常识可知，作为父母当然会为这么小的孩子担心，害怕他掉进水里。故选D项。 2. [2021·新高考Ⅱ卷·片段]“I often invited them to drink alcohol. Once they were 49, they began to talk a lot,”Wang said. “I'd then excuse myself to use the toilet, note down what the beggars said, and send the information to my teammates.” 49. ( A ) A. drunk B. deserted C. bored D. lost [解析]考查形容词。此处表示“我经常邀请他们喝酒。一旦他们喝醉了，就开始说很多话”。根据生活常识可知，通常人一旦喝醉了，就会多说话，说出隐藏在内心的秘密。故选A项。 2.文化背景 完形填空的语篇常常渗透着各类相关的文化背景知识，有的选项设置与文化背景相关，这就要求考生有较宽的知识面，特别是对英语国家文化的敏感性和鉴别力，这样才能准确理解文意。 典例 [2021·全国甲卷·片段]“I have matured and I admit responsibility for my actions,” he said in the letter. “I come to you, 57, to apologize for the damage I had indirectly caused and to ask you to reconsider my lifetime ban from the hotel.” 57. ( C ) A. hands in pockets B. nose in the air C. hat in hand D. feet on the ground 思路点拨 考查固定搭配。句意：“我已经成熟了，并承认对自己行为的责任。”他在信中写道：“我来找你，恭恭敬敬地，为我间接造成的破坏道歉并请求你重新考虑对我入住酒店的终身禁令。”hat in hand是一个习语，表示“十分恭敬”的意思。英语国家的人向别人真诚地道歉或者表示敬意时，都要摘下帽子。故选C项。 真题体验 3. [2021·新高考Ⅰ卷·片段]My life as a tax-paying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked in a baking factory. My best friend Betsy's father was a manager at Hough Bakeries, which, at Easter time, made little bunny（兔子） cakes for all its 42 throughout Cleveland. It happened that the plant downtown needed eight kids for temporary help during our spring break, for which I had no plans beyond listening to my favorite records. 42. ( A ) A. stores B. families C. schools D. citizens [解析]考查名词。句意：我最好的朋友Betsy的父亲是Hough Bakeries的经理，这家工厂在复活节期间为它在克利夫兰的所有店铺制作小兔子蛋糕。小兔子是西方复活节的象征之一。在这一天，人们会到商店购买兔子形状的蛋糕。因此这家面包厂是为该地区的店铺制作这种蛋糕的。故选A项。 对点精练 [2022·新高考Ⅰ卷]A 语篇类型：记叙文 主题语境： 人与自我 My husband, our children and I have had wonderful camping experiences over the past ten years.
