选词填空
备战 2025 年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀
生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、词性判断与语法综合运用
难点：需根据空格前后语法结构（如冠词、介词、动词时态）快速判断词性，例如：
名词：前面有冠词（a/an/the）或形容词（如 interesting book）；
动词：需结合时态（如过去式）、语态（被动语态）或非谓语形式（不定式/分词）。
高频陷阱：动词的过去式与过去分词混淆（如 written vs. wrote）、名词单复数误用（如 advice
不可数）。
2、上下文逻辑与语义连贯
难点：需通过逻辑关系词（如 however, therefore）或代词（如 it, they）推断答案，例如：
前文提到“Pollution is increasing”，后文可能需填 reduce 或 control。
干扰项设计：选项看似语法正确但逻辑不符（如因果倒置或语义矛盾）。
3、高频词汇与固定搭配
重点词汇：动词（disappear, protect）、形 容 词（different, special）、副 词（completely, especially）
及短语（take place, as well as）。
易错点：忽略搭配习惯（如 make progress 不可数，无复数形式）。
4、长难句与复合考点
难点：含定语从句、状语从句的复合句占比提升，需拆分句子结构，例如：
The man who is wearing a black hat is my uncle.（需填 who）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、通读全文，把握主旨
方法：快速浏览文章，标注主题句及段落大意，预判空格处所需词性（如首段多填名词/动
词）。
示例：若文章主题为“环保措施”，空格可能涉及 recycle, protect 等词汇。
2、分类词性，缩小范围
技巧：
动词：判断是否需变形（时态/语态）或搭配介词（如 look forward to + doing）；
形容词/副词：根据修饰对象（名词/动词）选择词性，并注意比较级/最高级。
3、逻辑推理与选项对比
策略：
并列关系（and/or）：选近义词（如 happy 和 glad）；
转折关系（but/however）：选反义词（如 easy 和 difficult）；
因果关系（because/so）：选逻辑关联词（如 result）。
4、代入验证与复查
重点：检查语法一致性（主谓一致、时态呼应）及语义通顺度，例如：
若空格后为复数名词，需填形容词（如 different）而非副词（differently）。
三、2025 年命题趋势预测
1、题型创新与难度提升
复合型考点：增加“语法+语境”双重考查（如时态+固定搭配），
长难句比例增加：含从句的句子占比提升至 40%，需强化长句拆解能力。
2、本土化与跨学科融合
上海特色：可能涉及“海河生态治理”“浦东新区科技发展”等主题，需掌握相关词汇（如
eco-city, smart grid）。
跨学科内容：科学类文本（如可再生能源原理）或社会热点（垃圾分类），考查信息整合能
力。
3、高频考点分布
动词与名词（占比约 45%）：如 protect, experience, method；
形容词/副词（占比约 30%）：如 different, especially；
逻辑连接词（占比约 15%）：如 however, therefore；
短语搭配（占比约 10%）：如 take care of, in the way。
四、备考建议
1、高频词汇与搭配专项突破
整理近 5 年真题高频词（如 achieve, decide, carefully），每日默写并强化拼写准确性；
积累上海本土文化词汇（如 Tianjin Eye, Five Great Avenues）及固定搭配（如 be proud of）。
2、语法与逻辑推理强化训练
针对主谓一致、时态语态、非谓语动词进行专项练习，结合例句理解规则；
通过逻辑标志词（如 but/however）训练上下文推理能力。
3、限时模拟与错题复盘
每日完成 1-2 篇选词填空，限时 8 分钟/篇，模拟考场压力；
建立错题本，分类标注错误类型（如语法误判、逻辑偏差），针对性强化。
4、真题精练与模拟实战
精析 2022-2024 年上海中考真题，总结高频考点（如情景交际、时态综合）；
选用含图表、文化背景的模拟题，提升综合应试能力。
总结：2025 年上海中考选词填空将延续“语法细节+语境逻辑”双核心，强化本土化题材与复
合型考点。考生需以高频词汇为基础，提升长难句解析能力，并通过真题模拟适应命题趋势。

As a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with math wisdom (智慧).
You may have played many of them before. Let’s take a look at four of them.
Chinese nine linked rings puzzle (九连环)
The nine linked rings puzzle, also called the Chinese ring puzzle, is usually made up of nine
rings connected to a handle (手柄). Players have to remove all the rings from the handle to 1
the game. An early record of this type of puzzle can be found in Strategies of the Warring States
(《战国策》) from the WesternHan Dynasty (206BC-AD24). This is not a 2 game. For
example, if you want to remove the ninth ring, you have to remove the third, fifth, and seventh
ones first. If you start from the eighth, you won’t be able to do it.
Tangram (七巧板)
First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of seven
pieces of different shapes, 3 triangles (三角形), squares and parallelograms (平行四边
形). For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. To do it, they have to
know about geometry (几何学). In the 18th century, the tangram was 4 to the West and
soon became popular there.

Luban lock (鲁班锁)
The Luban lock was first created by Chinese carpenter (木匠) Lu Ban 2,000 years ago.
Legend (传说) has it that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his
son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to 5 the six
pieces. However, it is usually 6 to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together.
Now, there are Luban locks made up of nine or more pieces.
Huarong Pass (华容道)
Huarong Pass is a 7 Chinese block-moving puzzle. Every block is named after a
character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》), like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei
and Zhao Yun. To succeed in the game, players have to move the blocks to get “Cao Cao” out.
This is a test of one’s math knowledge, for example, of geometric area (几何面积). According to
the Chinese Puzzle website, it takes 8 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free.

All living cells (细胞) send out weak waves of electricity. As the heart starts to 5 ,
it sends out its records, which form an electrocardiogram (心电图). The brain, too, sends out brain
waves of electricity. An electroencephalogram helps a doctor to tell how 6 the brain is
working. The electric waves are extremely small. They are so small that sensitive machines are
needed. But in some animals, certain muscle (肌肉) cells are so 7 that they do not work
as most muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the 8

备战 2025 年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀
生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、词性判断与语法综合运用
难点：需根据空格前后语法结构（如冠词、介词、动词时态）快速判断词性，例如：
名词：前面有冠词（a/an/the）或形容词（如 interesting book）；
动词：需结合时态（如过去式）、语态（被动语态）或非谓语形式（不定式/分词）。
高频陷阱：动词的过去式与过去分词混淆（如 written vs. wrote）、名词单复数误用（如 advice
不可数）。
2、上下文逻辑与语义连贯
难点：需通过逻辑关系词（如 however, therefore）或代词（如 it, they）推断答案，例如：
前文提到“Pollution is increasing”，后文可能需填 reduce 或 control。
干扰项设计：选项看似语法正确但逻辑不符（如因果倒置或语义矛盾）。
3、高频词汇与固定搭配
重点词汇：动词（disappear, protect）、形 容 词（different, special）、副 词（completely, especially）
及短语（take place, as well as）。
易错点：忽略搭配习惯（如 make progress 不可数，无复数形式）。
4、长难句与复合考点
难点：含定语从句、状语从句的复合句占比提升，需拆分句子结构，例如：
The man who is wearing a black hat is my uncle.（需填 who）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、通读全文，把握主旨
方法：快速浏览文章，标注主题句及段落大意，预判空格处所需词性（如首段多填名词/动
词）。
示例：若文章主题为“环保措施”，空格可能涉及 recycle, protect 等词汇。
2、分类词性，缩小范围
技巧：
动词：判断是否需变形（时态/语态）或搭配介词（如 look forward to + doing）；
形容词/副词：根据修饰对象（名词/动词）选择词性，并注意比较级/最高级。
3、逻辑推理与选项对比
策略：
并列关系（and/or）：选近义词（如 happy 和 glad）；
转折关系（but/however）：选反义词（如 easy 和 difficult）；
因果关系（because/so）：选逻辑关联词（如 result）。
4、代入验证与复查
重点：检查语法一致性（主谓一致、时态呼应）及语义通顺度，例如：
若空格后为复数名词，需填形容词（如 different）而非副词（differently）。
三、2025 年命题趋势预测
1、题型创新与难度提升
复合型考点：增加“语法+语境”双重考查（如时态+固定搭配），
长难句比例增加：含从句的句子占比提升至 40%，需强化长句拆解能力。
2、本土化与跨学科融合
上海特色：可能涉及“海河生态治理”“浦东新区科技发展”等主题，需掌握相关词汇（如
eco-city, smart grid）。
跨学科内容：科学类文本（如可再生能源原理）或社会热点（垃圾分类），考查信息整合能
力。
3、高频考点分布
动词与名词（占比约 45%）：如 protect, experience, method；
形容词/副词（占比约 30%）：如 different, especially；
逻辑连接词（占比约 15%）：如 however, therefore；
短语搭配（占比约 10%）：如 take care of, in the way。
四、备考建议
1、高频词汇与搭配专项突破
整理近 5 年真题高频词（如 achieve, decide, carefully），每日默写并强化拼写准确性；
积累上海本土文化词汇（如 Tianjin Eye, Five Great Avenues）及固定搭配（如 be proud of）。
2、语法与逻辑推理强化训练
针对主谓一致、时态语态、非谓语动词进行专项练习，结合例句理解规则；
通过逻辑标志词（如 but/however）训练上下文推理能力。
3、限时模拟与错题复盘
每日完成 1-2 篇选词填空，限时 8 分钟/篇，模拟考场压力；
建立错题本，分类标注错误类型（如语法误判、逻辑偏差），针对性强化。
4、真题精练与模拟实战
精析 2022-2024 年上海中考真题，总结高频考点（如情景交际、时态综合）；
选用含图表、文化背景的模拟题，提升综合应试能力。
总结：2025 年上海中考选词填空将延续“语法细节+语境逻辑”双核心，强化本土化题材与复
合型考点。考生需以高频词汇为基础，提升长难句解析能力，并通过真题模拟适应命题趋势。

You may have played many of them before. Let’s take a look at four of them.
Chinese nine linked rings puzzle (九连环)
The nine linked rings puzzle, also called the Chinese ring puzzle, is usually made up of nine
rings connected to a handle (手柄). Players have to remove all the rings from the handle to 1

(《战国策》) from the WesternHan Dynasty (206BC-AD24). This is not a 2 game. For
example, if you want to remove the ninth ring, you have to remove the third, fifth, and seventh
ones first. If you start from the eighth, you won’t be able to do it.
Tangram (七巧板)
First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of seven
pieces of different shapes, 3 triangles (三角形), squares and parallelograms (平行四边
形). For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. To do it, they have to

pieces. However, it is usually 6 to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together.
Now, there are Luban locks made up of nine or more pieces.
Huarong Pass (华容道)
Huarong Pass is a 7 Chinese block-moving puzzle. Every block is named after a
character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》), like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei
and Zhao Yun. To succeed in the game, players have to move the blocks to get “Cao Cao” out.

it sends out its records, which form an electrocardiogram (心电图). The brain, too, sends out brain
waves of electricity. An electroencephalogram helps a doctor to tell how 6 the brain is
working. The electric waves are extremely small. They are so small that sensitive machines are
needed. But in some animals, certain muscle (肌肉) cells are so 7 that they do not work
