【题型解读】
完形填空是近年来英语中考一直采用的一种综合性很强的测试题型。完形填空涉及的知识面广,灵活性较高。它不仅能测试考生的英语知识水平和对所学知识的综合运用能力,而且能反映出考生的阅读理解能力,分析判断能力和逻辑推理能力。
中考完形填空一般以记叙文或夹叙夹议文为主,主题语境包括人与自我,人与社会,人与自然。侧重考查在具体语境中运用词汇知识的能力,降低了对单词本身用法的考查,少量数词生义和一词多义的考查。选材内容源于真实生活,以人物思想和行为为中心,体现理性思维,人文情怀、参与社会的人文素养等正能量;以时间或空间的变化为线索,按事件的发生、发展和结束来展开叙述;时态上多以一般过去时为主,其他时态为辅。完形填空题以考查实词为主,主要包括名词、动词、形容词、副词及相关短语。从近几年中考试题来看,完形填空越来越强调对上下文以及通篇文章的理解。
【命题规律】
考点:以实词为主,侧重对动词(短语)、名词和形容词的考查。重点在上下文语境理解上,词汇运用次之。每小题给出的单词多为同一类词。所设的选项更具有干扰性,更加强调对语境的考查。
核心考点:逻辑推理,把考查的重点放在理解全文、通篇考虑、掌握大意、注重关联等方面。
题型和考查角度:
1.句内层次题:解题信息分布在本句内部,瞻前顾后,左顾右盼,边读边填。
2.句组层次题:解题信息分布在设空处前后的一组句子中,瞻前顾后寻找暗示。
3.语篇层次题:解题信息分布在语篇的某一处甚至全篇,需要综合推断。
【解题策略】
上下文推理题:从整体角度考虑,结合上下文语境才能判断出最佳答案。
逻辑推理题:注意对文章内容进行逻辑分析、推理判断。理解上下文的内在关联和连贯意义。
词汇复现题:有些答案是会在上下文中重复出现的,关注语境,读懂题意,选出答案。
生活常识题:注意文化背景和生活常识,利用上下文线索,分析句子的关系。
语境推断题:注意对文章发生的背景,所处环境进行分析,进而理解语境,利用上下文线索,找到关键提示词或句子,选出答案。
固定搭配题:注意英语中的固定搭配、习惯用语及短语的运用。
【应试技巧】
1、了解记叙文的六要素
记叙文,无论是记人还是叙事,都会交代清楚时间、地点、人物、 事件、经过和结果,即记叙文的“六要素”。弄清了这六个要素,基本上就理解了整篇文章。
2、明确作者的写作目的
就事论事一般来说不是作者记叙的目的,作者往往通过叙述阐明个道理。 作者总是为了某个目的,在情节选择和细节描写上作出合理的安排。读者明晰了写作目的,就能抓住文章的主旨。
3、读懂作者的观点或态度
解题时要认真分析全文,看作者是否一直采用某种态度叙事或描述人。 为了增加试题难度,命题人往往采用变化的形式,考生只有在语境的指导下,对文章进行逻辑推断,才能推出文字之下的深层信息。
4、弄清作者叙述的视角
弄清文章是以第几人称的视角展开记叙的。通常英语记叙文展开记叙的视角有两个:第一人称和第三人称。 用第一人称就是从 ”参与者”的角度进行记叙,读者可从字里行间感受到作者态度和感情。用第三人称就是以“观察者”的身份展开叙述,作者的语气客观,与读者保持定距高,读者的注意力更多地集中在故事本身上。了解作者的写作角度有助于我们抓住作者思维,深入理解文章的意义,把握好语境。
【考点诠释】
(一)、利用文章首句信息解题
完形填空首先考查的就是考生对文章的理解能力。因此考生在做完形填空时,应把它作为一个意思连贯、结构完整的语篇,而不是单项选择。首句或前几句话都是完整的,为考生提供足够的信息去挖掘文章的思路,而且,这里往往包含主题句,它提供的信息是把握全文主旨的关键,可以帮助考生判断全文大意甚至全文主题。所以利用首句信息解题是处理完形填空中任何问题都必须遵循的步骤,掌握好了首句,有助于抓住文章主旨,因而我们才可以通过上下文确定文章所要前进的方向。
【示例】 Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only 1 about winning every race and becoming more successful.
1.A.heard B.talked C.cared D.learned
(二)、寻找有关线索进行逻辑推理
如果题目中的四个选项从词汇搭配,语法角度考虑均行得通,但由于文章是一个完整的统一体,词,句,段三者存在着内在逻辑关系,此时需要从上下文中寻找有关的提示或暗示,对文章的情节进行逻辑推理,抓住关键信息,理顺句与句之间的关系,确定合理的答案。
【示例】Their ____30____ language helps me know when to adjust class activities, and when to talk to students separately, so they can all get the most out of school.
30. A. body B. spoken C. written D. foreign
(三)、利用上下文逻辑关系解题
完形填空中的每一个空格并非孤立存在的,命题者必须通过上下文体现出某种线索来保证空格所填答案的唯一性,而这一线索即是上下文乃至贯穿全文的逻辑关系,若在解题时忽视这一点,则无异于只见树木,不见森林。文章的逻辑关系不外乎有列举、并列、因果、让步、对照、递进、目的、条件等,命题者往往借助于连词或介词短语来设置选项,因此在平时学习时就应该分清并牢记相关连词及介词短语所表示的逻辑关系。
【示例】So we should always keep improving ourselves 20 try to understand our true value.
20.A.and B.so C.but D.or
(四)、巧妙运用词汇复现轻松选择判断
同义词,近义词,反义词是借助意思相同,相近或相反的表达方式或解释性语言使上下文的意思得以连接起来。因此,做题时,应充分注意分析上下文中出现的解释性语言。对于上下文意思复现的表达,可以借助于复现信息的同根词来补全信息,巧妙运用词汇复现,轻松选择判断。
【示例】 When they finished, Jack looked at their misshapen (奇形怪状的) robot. He couldn’t stop smiling. “I think it’s the best ____30____ I have ever built. Now I have to write my report,” Jack said, hugging Grandpa. “Thank you, Grandpa. I had a lot of fun.”
30. A. room B. table C. schoolbag D. robot
【示例】I remember the year when I was seven years old. I ___16___ a pretty hair clip from a girl in my dance class. ..........What a bad end I would come to if I became a thief—people would not trust me any more.
16. A. borrowed B. discovered C. stole D. pulled
(五)、熟记短语搭配仔细辨析解题
短语动词在完形填空题中是比较常见的,占有一定的比例。这类短语有两种考查方式:一种是四个选项中只有一个搭配是正确的;另一种是四个选项的搭配不止一个正确,这时考生须借助上下文的意思作出适当的判断。
【示例】The charity began with a simple dream of giving ___6 hope ___, joy and magic to those kids. It later ___7___ a national organization that sent cards to over 5000 sick kids at more than 50 hospitals across the country.
7. A. looked up B. gave up C. broke into D. turned into
【示例】 It’s easy to see when students show interest in a lesson. Most ____19____ and make eye contact. They lean forward and look at me.
19. A. look down B. look up C. look back D. look through
(六)、上下求索利用语境进行逻辑判断
语境题在完形填空题中已占有一半题量,因此,利用好文章的语境关系就能对文章进行准确性地逻辑判断,在理解文意的基础上推断出每一空的准确信息从而确定答案。其具体方法就是认真读原文,找出反映语境的标志性的词汇或句子,并大胆预测下文。
【示例】One day, I was receiving my thirteenth operation in the hospital. Being away from my friends and school was causing me almost as much ___3___ as the operation itself.
3. A. fun B. pain C. value D. danger
【示例】Seeing a picture of a child ___9___ one of our cards with a huge smile makes us keep this wonderful charity alive.
9. A. selling B. printing C. holding D. cleaning
【示例】____10____ might provide medicine for these sick kids, but we provide that little bit of hope and magic that’ll go a long way.
10. A. Teachers B. Friends C. Patients D. Doctors
(七)、利用作者情感态度来解题
第一遍通读时,应在掌握文章大意,弄清作者思路的基础上,着重寻找反映语境褒贬性的标志性词汇或句子,这些标志性词汇或句子往往对文章的语境褒贬性起着决定性的作用,因此,我们有时候可以根据作者对人物或事情的褒贬性来排除干扰做出正确的选择。
【示例】When I came back, Judy smiled at me. Ms Jenkins called her name and Judy 41 followed her. She was still calm and smiling when she came out.
When Ms Jenkins told us who were chosen to join the choir group, I wasn’t 42 when Judy’s name was on her list and mine wasn’t, but I was disappointed.
41.A.strangely B.carefully C.calmly D.seriously
42.A.excited B.surprised C.moved D.pleased
(八)、依据常识,确定答案
完形填空的文章内容往往与文化生活、史地知识、生活科技等相关,有些内容是我们已经掌握的生活常识。知识范围越广,越有利于文章的理解。因而答题时要充分调动相关知识帮助我们分析、推断,最终确定答案。
【示例】Later, she 64 plenty of bags and went back to the park with her mom. Juliet put up her picture on a big trash can(垃圾桶). “Will you help me 65 trash, mom ” Juliet said as she handed her mom a bag. “I surely will.” replied her mom with a big smile.
65.A.set up B.pick up C.put up D.take up

Of course, Shelly, the most popular girl in the class, spoke up.
“Well, Mr. Sims, my parents can 85 it. Do I still have to help ”

Passage 1
(2024·江苏南京·三模)Not long ago, I arrived at a meeting earlier. So I walked into a room, and there I saw some volunteers were busy with handouts (手册) of the meeting. I went over and asked if I could 1 .

That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair.” she said. I had a feeling she’d 22 that. “Yeah, that’s right.” I said. “But we always go to the fair.”
“Tessa, you’re the artist and my brother thought the tulips I painted were rocket ships.” she smiled. “You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I said in my most 23 voice. I really didn’t want to go alone.
“Would you like to 24 the art camp ” Mom asked. “Probably not, none of my friends are going.” I said. Mom knew me well, “Maybe next year.” “Maybe.” I sighed. “I’m going outside to 25 the Westons’ pine tree.” “Dinner will be ready in an hour.” Mom reminded me.
I opened the door and sat at the front stoop, thinking about the art camp and wishing I could be a little 26 . Mandy could make friends in ten minutes, but my stomach twirls like a roller coaster when I don’t know anyone around me.
Once I started drawing, I didn’t 27 anything around. That’s why I jumped when Mr. Weston said, “You’ve done a great job.” “Thanks,” I smiled. “I have planted pine trees before. Roots grow 28 , not down, so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree withers (枯萎).You have a good 29 .” Mr. Weston added and nodded good-bye.
I thought about what Mr. Weston told me as I stared at the towering pine. I’d never 30 how far a tree’s roots stretch (延伸) outward. I wasn’t stretching my own roots out at all.
That night, I took a deep breath and filled in the application for art camp. My stomach felt a little jumbled, but I also felt a shiver of excitement. I am the pine!

Passage 4
(2024·江苏无锡·一模)In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t 31 when one evening my mother announced she had taken on a new project.
“I am going to telephone seniors (老年人),” said my mother. “Every 32 But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I 33 .” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to 34 . She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch 35 ,” I said.
My attitude (态度) didn’t stop my mother’s love for the project. That evening, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “ 36 do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert ” My mother said, “I’m the 37 person she talked to today.”
It took me more than thirty years to 38 understand the meaning of my mother’s words. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly 39 she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator.

I was nine when my father first sent me flowers. I had been taking tap-dancing lessons for six months, and the school was holding its yearly performance. As a member of the beginners’ chorus line, I was 41 of my lowly status (地位). So it was a surprise to have my name called out at the end of the show along with the lead 42 and to find my arms full of red roses. I can still feel myself standing on that stage, blushing (脸红) and gazing out at the audience, seeing my father’s grin as he clapped his hands 43 .
As the years passed, other occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations—were 44 with Dad’s flowers. Dad’s flowers represented his pride, and my success. When I graduated from college, I began a new career and was engaged to be married.
With time passing by, my luck grew. My father slowly became 45 , but his gifts of flowers continued 46 he died of a heart attack a few months before his 70th birthday. I covered his coffin with the largest, reddest roses I could find.
Often in the following years since, I have wanted to go out and buy a big bunch to fill the living room, but I 47 did. I knew it would not be the same.
Then one birthday, the door bell rang. I was feeling 48 because I was alone. My son, Matt, had run out earlier with a “see you later”, without mentioning my birthday. So I was surprised to see his large body at the door. “Forgot my key,” he said, shrugging. “Forgot your birthday, too.

After an hour of 51 , I still couldn’t get the rhythm(节奏) quite right on a Mozart piece that I had to show to my piano teacher the following day. Although I tried very hard, I just couldn’t seem to play it the way it was 52 to be played.
I decided to take a break. For the most part, after a little bit of work, I could usually learn the song pretty quickly. Sadly, it was always that one song, which might have appeared simple but was difficult, that always annoyed(惹恼) me. These types of songs always made me 53 myself whether I could be a pianist.
After dinner, I decided to come back to the 54 . Placing my fingers on the keys, I chose to play the piece carefully and 55 , paying attention to hitting the correct notes instead of trying to play the piece quickly. Using this new method, I exercised a great deal of patience, something that I often had 56 with. Instead of thinking how hard the rhythm was, I thought about how I could 57 myself, little by little. Finally, I could slowly see myself getting better.
That evening, I didn’t even get the rhythm right until a week later. I 58 an important lesson—sometimes, baby steps are the best way to reach a goal.

As a little girl when I heard my sister talk about her life-changing term abroad in Paris, it became my goal to visit it one day. When my daily life in New Jersey seemed boring, I often 61 about walking around the streets of Paris. Luckily, with our financial (财务的) situation 62 , European travel became a reality.
Travelling to a European country with my 63 was exciting, but it would not be complete without facing problems and figuring them out.
We had just started to get 64 familiar (熟悉的) with the Paris subway system. Since using it was very difficult, we were walking slowly until we 65 the subway was about to leave. As soon as I 66 , the doors shut with my mom on the other side. I did not have my cell phone, neither of us could speak a word of 67 , and we had no idea how to connect each other. My mom and I, who were both 68 , began to knock heavily on the doors. Suddenly, a man with a very puzzled look on his face walked over to the doors and simply 69 them.

When I was about 12, I didn’t like a girl who liked to 96 my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list 97 : I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to bear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very 98 . I ran to Daddy with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me 99 . Then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not Allen, didn’t you ever wonder 100 you’re really like Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great 101 , I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a 102 picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just 103 your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, 104 hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

【题型解读】
完形填空是近年来英语中考一直采用的一种综合性很强的测试题型。完形填空涉及的知识面广,灵活性较高。它不仅能测试考生的英语知识水平和对所学知识的综合运用能力,而且能反映出考生的阅读理解能力,分析判断能力和逻辑推理能力。
中考完形填空一般以记叙文或夹叙夹议文为主,主题语境包括人与自我,人与社会,人与自然。侧重考查在具体语境中运用词汇知识的能力,降低了对单词本身用法的考查,少量数词生义和一词多义的考查。选材内容源于真实生活,以人物思想和行为为中心,体现理性思维,人文情怀、参与社会的人文素养等正能量;以时间或空间的变化为线索,按事件的发生、发展和结束来展开叙述;时态上多以一般过去时为主,其他时态为辅。完形填空题以考查实词为主,主要包括名词、动词、形容词、副词及相关短语。从近几年中考试题来看,完形填空越来越强调对上下文以及通篇文章的理解。
【命题规律】
考点:以实词为主,侧重对动词(短语)、名词和形容词的考查。重点在上下文语境理解上,词汇运用次之。每小题给出的单词多为同一类词。所设的选项更具有干扰性,更加强调对语境的考查。
核心考点:逻辑推理,把考查的重点放在理解全文、通篇考虑、掌握大意、注重关联等方面。
题型和考查角度:
1.句内层次题:解题信息分布在本句内部,瞻前顾后,左顾右盼,边读边填。
2.句组层次题:解题信息分布在设空处前后的一组句子中,瞻前顾后寻找暗示。
3.语篇层次题:解题信息分布在语篇的某一处甚至全篇,需要综合推断。
【解题策略】
上下文推理题:从整体角度考虑,结合上下文语境才能判断出最佳答案。
逻辑推理题:注意对文章内容进行逻辑分析、推理判断。理解上下文的内在关联和连贯意义。
词汇复现题:有些答案是会在上下文中重复出现的,关注语境,读懂题意,选出答案。
生活常识题:注意文化背景和生活常识,利用上下文线索,分析句子的关系。
语境推断题:注意对文章发生的背景,所处环境进行分析,进而理解语境,利用上下文线索,找到关键提示词或句子,选出答案。
固定搭配题:注意英语中的固定搭配、习惯用语及短语的运用。
【应试技巧】
1、了解记叙文的六要素
记叙文,无论是记人还是叙事,都会交代清楚时间、地点、人物、 事件、经过和结果,即记叙文的“六要素”。弄清了这六个要素,基本上就理解了整篇文章。
2、明确作者的写作目的
就事论事一般来说不是作者记叙的目的,作者往往通过叙述阐明个道理。 作者总是为了某个目的,在情节选择和细节描写上作出合理的安排。读者明晰了写作目的,就能抓住文章的主旨。
3、读懂作者的观点或态度
解题时要认真分析全文,看作者是否一直采用某种态度叙事或描述人。 为了增加试题难度,命题人往往采用变化的形式,考生只有在语境的指导下,对文章进行逻辑推断,才能推出文字之下的深层信息。
4、弄清作者叙述的视角
弄清文章是以第几人称的视角展开记叙的。通常英语记叙文展开记叙的视角有两个:第一人称和第三人称。 用第一人称就是从 ”参与者”的角度进行记叙,读者可从字里行间感受到作者态度和感情。用第三人称就是以“观察者”的身份展开叙述,作者的语气客观,与读者保持定距高,读者的注意力更多地集中在故事本身上。了解作者的写作角度有助于我们抓住作者思维,深入理解文章的意义,把握好语境。
【考点诠释】
(一)、利用文章首句信息解题
完形填空首先考查的就是考生对文章的理解能力。因此考生在做完形填空时,应把它作为一个意思连贯、结构完整的语篇,而不是单项选择。首句或前几句话都是完整的,为考生提供足够的信息去挖掘文章的思路,而且,这里往往包含主题句,它提供的信息是把握全文主旨的关键,可以帮助考生判断全文大意甚至全文主题。所以利用首句信息解题是处理完形填空中任何问题都必须遵循的步骤,掌握好了首句,有助于抓住文章主旨,因而我们才可以通过上下文确定文章所要前进的方向。
【示例】 Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only 1 about winning every race and becoming more successful.
1.A.heard B.talked C.cared D.learned
【答案】1.C
【解析】本篇完形填空的第一句话没有设题,是一个完整的句子。据此可知,本文讲述了村子里有一个十几岁的男孩,他只在乎赢得每一场比赛,变得更成功。句意:他只关心赢得每一场比赛,变得更加成功。
heard听到;talked谈论;cared在乎;learned学习。根据“He only...about winning every race”可知男孩只关心赢得每一场比赛。care about“关心”。故选C。
(二)、寻找有关线索进行逻辑推理
如果题目中的四个选项从词汇搭配,语法角度考虑均行得通,但由于文章是一个完整的统一体,词,句,段三者存在着内在逻辑关系,此时需要从上下文中寻找有关的提示或暗示,对文章的情节进行逻辑推理,抓住关键信息,理顺句与句之间的关系,确定合理的答案。
【示例】Their ____30____ language helps me know when to adjust class activities, and when to talk to students separately, so they can all get the most out of school.
30. A. body B. spoken C. written D. foreign
【答案】A
【解析】句意:他们的肢体语言帮助我知道什么时候该调整课堂活动,什么时候该分别与学生交谈,这样他们都能从学校得到最大的收获。
body身体;spoken口语的;written书面的;foreign外国的。根据“Their …language helps me know when to adjust(调整) class activities”可知,本文主要讲述了彼得的妈妈作为一名老师,通过身体语言判断学生的状态。故选A。
(三)、利用上下文逻辑关系解题
完形填空中的每一个空格并非孤立存在的,命题者必须通过上下文体现出某种线索来保证空格所填答案的唯一性,而这一线索即是上下文乃至贯穿全文的逻辑关系,若在解题时忽视这一点,则无异于只见树木,不见森林。文章的逻辑关系不外乎有列举、并列、因果、让步、对照、递进、目的、条件等,命题者往往借助于连词或介词短语来设置选项,因此在平时学习时就应该分清并牢记相关连词及介词短语所表示的逻辑关系。
【示例】So we should always keep improving ourselves 20 try to understand our true value.
20.A.and B.so C.but D.or
【答案】20.A
【解析】句意:所以我们应该不断提高自己,努力了解自己的真正价值。
and和;so因此;but但是;or或者。根据“So we should always keep improving ourselves...try to understand our true value.”可知,前后两句构成并列关系,用and连接。故选A。
(四)、巧妙运用词汇复现轻松选择判断
同义词,近义词,反义词是借助意思相同,相近或相反的表达方式或解释性语言使上下文的意思得以连接起来。因此,做题时,应充分注意分析上下文中出现的解释性语言。对于上下文意思复现的表达,可以借助于复现信息的同根词来补全信息,巧妙运用词汇复现,轻松选择判断。
【示例】 When they finished, Jack looked at their misshapen (奇形怪状的) robot. He couldn’t stop smiling. “I think it’s the best ____30____ I have ever built. Now I have to write my report,” Jack said, hugging Grandpa. “Thank you, Grandpa. I had a lot of fun.”
30. A. room B. table C. schoolbag D. robot
【答案】D
【解析】句意:我认为这是我制造过的最好的机器人。
room房间;table桌子;schoolbag书包;robot机器人。根据“Jack looked at their misshapen (奇形怪状的) robot”可知,他们建造的是机器人。故选D。
【示例】I remember the year when I was seven years old. I ___16___ a pretty hair clip from a girl in my dance class. ..........What a bad end I would come to if I became a thief—people would not trust me any more.
16. A. borrowed B. discovered C. stole D. pulled
【答案】C
【解析】句意:我从舞蹈课上的一个女孩那里偷了一个漂亮的发夹。
borrowed借入;discovered发现;stole偷;pulled拉。根据“if I became a thief”可知是偷了一个发夹。故选C。
(五)、熟记短语搭配仔细辨析解题
短语动词在完形填空题中是比较常见的,占有一定的比例。这类短语有两种考查方式:一种是四个选项中只有一个搭配是正确的;另一种是四个选项的搭配不止一个正确,这时考生须借助上下文的意思作出适当的判断。
【示例】The charity began with a simple dream of giving ___6 hope ___, joy and magic to those kids. It later ___7___ a national organization that sent cards to over 5000 sick kids at more than 50 hospitals across the country.
7. A. looked up B. gave up C. broke into D. turned into
【答案】D
【解析】句意:后来它变成了一个全国性的组织,给全国50多家医院的5000多名生病的孩子送去了贺卡。
looked up查阅;gave up放弃;broke into闯入;turned into变成。根据“a national organization ”可知是指这个慈善机构变成了全国性的组织,故选D。
【示例】 It’s easy to see when students show interest in a lesson. Most ____19____ and make eye contact. They lean forward and look at me.
19. A. look down B. look up C. look back D. look through
【答案】B
【解析】句意:大多数人抬头与人眼神交流。
look down向下看;look up查阅,向上看;look back回顾;look through浏览。根据“It’s easy to see when students show interest in a lesson. Most… and make eye contact.”可知,学生如果对课堂感兴趣,会抬头与老师进行眼神交流。故选B。
(六)、上下求索利用语境进行逻辑判断
语境题在完形填空题中已占有一半题量,因此,利用好文章的语境关系就能对文章进行准确性地逻辑判断,在理解文意的基础上推断出每一空的准确信息从而确定答案。其具体方法就是认真读原文,找出反映语境的标志性的词汇或句子,并大胆预测下文。
【示例】One day, I was receiving my thirteenth operation in the hospital. Being away from my friends and school was causing me almost as much ___3___ as the operation itself.
3. A. fun B. pain C. value D. danger
【答案】B
【解析】离开我的朋友和学校给我带来的痛苦几乎和手术本身一样多。
fun乐趣;pain痛苦;value价值;danger危险。根据“Being away from my friends and school ”可知离开了朋友和学校,作者是很痛苦的,故选B。
【示例】Seeing a picture of a child ___9___ one of our cards with a huge smile makes us keep this wonderful charity alive.
9. A. selling B. printing C. holding D. cleaning
【答案】C
【解析】看到一个孩子带着灿烂的笑容拿着我们的卡片的照片,让我们把这个美好的慈善机构继续存在下去。
selling卖;printing打印;holding持着;cleaning打扫。根据“Seeing a picture of a child...one of our cards with a huge smile”可知是指孩子拿着卡片,应用holding,故选C。
【示例】____10____ might provide medicine for these sick kids, but we provide that little bit of hope and magic that’ll go a long way.
10. A. Teachers B. Friends C. Patients D. Doctors
【答案】D
【10题详解】医生可能会为这些生病的孩子提供药物,但我们提供的是那一点点希望和魔力,这将会走很长的路。Teachers老师;Friends朋友;Patients病人;Doctors医生。根据“provide medicine for these sick kids,”可知给生病的孩子提供药物的是医生,故选D。
(七)、利用作者情感态度来解题
第一遍通读时,应在掌握文章大意,弄清作者思路的基础上,着重寻找反映语境褒贬性的标志性词汇或句子,这些标志性词汇或句子往往对文章的语境褒贬性起着决定性的作用,因此,我们有时候可以根据作者对人物或事情的褒贬性来排除干扰做出正确的选择。
【示例】When I came back, Judy smiled at me. Ms Jenkins called her name and Judy 41 followed her. She was still calm and smiling when she came out.
When Ms Jenkins told us who were chosen to join the choir group, I wasn’t 42 when Judy’s name was on her list and mine wasn’t, but I was disappointed.
41.A.strangely B.carefully C.calmly D.seriously
42.A.excited B.surprised C.moved D.pleased
【答案】 41.C 42.B
【导语】本文讲述了作者和好朋友Judy之间的故事。作者从小和Judy一起,Judy几乎什么都比她优秀。在一次合唱表演中,作者被选为独唱,她非常紧张,但在Judy的帮助下,作者最终克服了胆怯、完成了表演。
41.句意:Jenkins小姐叫了她的名字,Judy平静地跟着她。
strangely奇怪地;carefully仔细地;calmly平静地;seriously严肃地。根据“She was still
calm and smiling when she came out.”可知Judy很平静。故选C。
42.句意:当知道Judy的名字在名单上,而我的不在的时候,我一点也不失望。
excited兴奋的;surprised惊讶的;moved感动的;pleased满意的。根据“when Judy’s name
was on her list and mine wasn’t, but I was disappointed.”以及上文“Judy and I had been classmates since primary school. She was always better than I.”可知作者认为Judy很优秀,这完全是意料之中的事,不会感到惊讶。故选B。
(八)、依据常识,确定答案
完形填空的文章内容往往与文化生活、史地知识、生活科技等相关,有些内容是我们已经掌握的生活常识。知识范围越广,越有利于文章的理解。因而答题时要充分调动相关知识帮助我们分析、推断,最终确定答案。
【示例】Later, she 64 plenty of bags and went back to the park with her mom. Juliet put up her picture on a big trash can(垃圾桶). “Will you help me 65 trash, mom ” Juliet said as she handed her mom a bag. “I surely will.” replied her mom with a big smile.

One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that the seventh grade field trip would be to a theme park. The classroom was filled with excitement as the girls discussed what they would wear and what they should bring with them.

When Mr. Sims asked him 77 , Danny stood up and said, “It’s too much money for me. My dad hurt his back and has been out of 78 for a while. I’m not asking my parents for money.”
Sitting back down in his seat, Danny held his head up 79 , even though whispering had already begun. I could only sit quietly in my seat, knowing those 80 could be about me when they found out I would not be going either.
“Dan, I’m very proud of you for 81 the situation that your parents are in,” Mr. Sims replied.
Seeing the students whispering in the back, Mr. Sims spoke again, only 82 .
“This year, we’re going to do things differently. The trip is not until the end of the month, so there’s plenty of time for money 83 . Each student must bring in at least one idea for that. If a student doesn’t want to help, then he or she will be staying here that day. Any 84 ”
Of course, Shelly, the most popular girl in the class, spoke up.
“Well, Mr. Sims, my parents can 85 it. Do I still have to help ”
