专题4 说明文型完形填空
专题导读
说明文往往围绕一个问题从不同的侧面来加以说明，通常结构严谨、句子结构复杂，因此也是高考完形填空中较难理解的一种文体。
说明文一般有三类：一是实体事例说明文(实体事物是指国家、城市、人物、山水、树木、花草、虫鱼、鸟兽、建筑、文化古迹、科技成果及各种工农业产品)。包括说明书、广告、解说词、人物介绍、知识小品、知识注解等。二是事理(事理是指观点、立场、名词概念、学术流派等)说明文。包括理论性解释、文书简介、教材等。三是文艺性说明文。即把说明对象拟人化，进而编成故事，对其进行介绍。
说明文完形填空的具体特点：(1)开头点题。做说明文型完形填空时，要明确说明的对象是什么，是具体实物还是理论性概念。因此，明确说明的对象是掌握说明细节的前提。在近年的说明文型完形填空中，作者一般在文章的首句直接提出说明的对象。(2)结构清晰。把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明文的写作一般按时间顺序(指先后顺序)，空间顺序(从局部到整体，从上到下，从内到外)，逻辑顺序(前因后果，先果后因，先主后次)；认识顺序(由此及彼，由浅入深，由具体到抽象，由现象到本质)。说明文型完形填空短文层次清晰，整体性强，所以，递进性词汇和名词的设题往往出现得较多。说明文往往较直白，写作脉络清晰，又没有很多感情因素的掺入，所以就不会有过多的情感词汇，自然不会有钻不出的“迷宫”。据此特点，我们便可以跟着“作者”走，理清整篇文章的思路，从而顺利答题。
真题典例
[2010·上海卷] The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece. If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a natural part of the writing __1__.
What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out of town previews that many Broadway shows go through The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering，—__2__ revising.Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process. When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, when Phantom
opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had __3__several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber __4__ some of the music because the Phantom’s makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.
When you revise, you change aspects of your work in __5__ to your evolving purpose, or to include __6__ ideas or newly discovered information.
Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment.__7__， it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way.Even your decision to __8__ topics
while prewriting is a type of revising.However，don’t make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows __9__.Always make time to become your own __10__and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak.Reviewing your work in this way can give you __11__ new ideas.
Revising involves __12__ the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present.When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose __13__ throughout my draft Do I ever lose sight of my purpose Have I given my readers all of the __14__ —that is, facts, opinions, inferences—that they need in order to understand my main idea Finally, have I included too many __15__ details that may confuse readers

【解析】修改是作品写作过程中非常重要且必需的步骤。文章讲述了作品修改的目的和途径。
1．C 参照下文的“Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.”和“However，don’t make the mistake of skipping the revision stage”。technique意为“技术”；style意为“风格”；career意为“事业，生涯”，都不符合题意。
2．D 前面adding, deleting, replacing, reordering都是revising的方面，in other words意为“换句话说”，符合题意。in particular意为“尤其，特别”，表强调；as a result意为“因此”，表结果；for example意为“例如”，表举例说明；都不符题意。
3．A 人们观看的是完美的表演，但表演之前作品经历了(undergo)多次修改，与上文的“Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.”对应。skip(跳远)、reject(拒绝，抵制)、replace(取代)都不符合题意。
4．A 动词release(释放，赦免，发行)，record(记录，录音)，reserve(保留，预订)都不符合题意。动词rewrite表示“重写，修改”，与动词revise同义，与本篇话题相关。
5．B 介词短语in addition to表示“而且，除……之外还有”；in opposition to表示“与……的意见相反”；in contrast to表示“与……形成对比”，都与本题不符。in response to(作为对……的反应)在本句表示“你修改作品是对你想改进作品的一种回应”。
6．D fresh ideas 与后面的newly discovered information对应。
7．C 副词moreover(而且)类似于but also，表递进含义；副词however然而，表转折关系；instead作为“替代，反而”，表相反含义；therefore因此，表原因。由语境可知选C。
8．B switch topics(变换标题)属于修改作品的一部分。动词discuss(讨论)、exhaust(使筋疲力尽)、cover(覆盖，包含)都不符题意。
9．A rearranging(重新安排)、performing(表演)、training(培训)都与题意不符。由上文可知选drafting，意为“起草，草案”。
10．C 名词audience(观众)与下句view your dress rehearsal对应。名词director(导演)、master(主人，大师)、visitor(来访者)都与题意不符。
11．B 形容词valuable表示“做自己作品的观众能给你有价值的新信息”。形容词personal(个人的)、basic(基本的)、delicate(娇贵的、纤弱的、精美的)都与题意不符。
12．D 句意表示“修改包括评价作品所有方面的有效性和适当性”。故选D。
13．D 形容词clear在本句表示“我的文章大意或写作意图是否清晰”，与下文confuse readers对应。形容词amazing(令人惊讶的)、bright(明亮的，聪明的)、unique(独特的)都与题意不符。
14．C facts，opinions，inferences都属于information，故选C。
15．A unnecessary details表示“不必要的信息”，句意表示不必要的信息反而使读者困惑、误导读者。形容词uninteresting(单调的，乏味的)、concrete(具体的)、final(最终的，决定性的)都与题意不符。
新题预测
(一)
People do not analyse every problem they meet.They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.Other times they begin to act without __1__；they try to find a solution by trial and error.However, when all of these methods __2__， the person with a problem has to start analysing.There are six __3__ in analysing a problem.
First, the person must recognize that there is a problem.For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken.Sam must __4__ that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must __5__ the problem.Before Sam can repair
his bicycle, he must know why it does not work.He must __6__ the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for __7__ that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions.Suppose Sam __8__ that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.__9__， he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes or talk to his friends at the bike shop.
After __10__ the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution, which might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one __11__ seems to be the solution to the problem.Sometimes the final idea comes quite __12__ because the thinker suddenly sees something in a __13__ way.Sam suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake.He immediately hits on the solution to his problem: he must __14__ the brake.Finally the solution is __15__. Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.In short he has solved the problem.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，通过举例说明了解决问题的六大步骤。文章浅显易懂，逻辑性强。
1．B without thinking意为“不假思索”。

6．B determine意为“测定，找出”，与find out意思相同。
7．D 根据下文Sam所做的事情可知，要了解问题的相关信息才能修理，所以选information。

13．B 因为想解决问题的人突然发现了一些东西，直接就找到了症结所在，而这种方法与上文所述是不同的。
14．A 去掉口香糖的方法是清理车闸。
15．C 只有经过检验，才能证明解决问题的方法的正确性。

专题3 议论文型完形填空
专题导读
议论文是高考完形填空中较难的一种文体，一般由三个要素组成：论点、论据、结论。要做好议论文类的完形填空最重要的是抓住作者的论点。不同的议论文论点的提出方式往往不同，大体有以下三种情况：(1)开门见山地提出论点。有些议论文在文章的一开始就提出论点。然后再通过具体的论据去说明论点，论据有时候既有正面的论据，也有反面的论据，最后总结全文。(2)导入式提出论点。有些议论文会先通过叙述生活中的一件具体的事情或描述生活中的现象，然后根据事情或现象所反映的问题提出自己的论点，再用具体的论据去说明自己的论点。(3)最后提出论点。有些议论文一开始作者仅仅是列举生活中的现象，不表明自己的观点，而是通过对具体现象的分析，自然得出一种结论，这种结论往往就是作者的论点。对于纯议论形式的完形填空，要在掌握全文主旨的情况下，抓好每段的首句。抓住了每段的主旨句也就是把握了文章的脉络，理解文意就容易多了。

I observed a number of__6__children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a__7__class.In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment,
relying__8__on their teachers’ directions.In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect__9__on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.
Many are concerned that gifted children become__10__and lose interest in learning.However，this__11__is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these__12__simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are__13__.Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they__14__so goes far beyond the work they have in school.Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious.The gifted child who is bored is an__15__child.

【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章就有天赋的学生是不是应该进特殊班的问题进行了讨论：调查表明被分在特殊班的学生并没有表现出人们预料的好效果，因为特殊班里的学生过分依赖老师的引导，反而对学习失去了兴趣。
1．C 考查名词辨析。根据文意可知分班的争论是基于一种观念，即普通班会阻碍有天赋的学生的发展。
2．C 考查非谓语动词的用法。这里指为普通学生设计的普通班的学习环境。
3．D 考查形容词词义辨析。下文指为普通学生设计的普通班；average(普通的，一般的)与前面的gifted相对。故选D。
4．B 考查形容词的词义辨析。特殊班能帮助学生早毕业，尽早地走进生活。
5．A 考查语境理解。根据上文可知此处指有天赋的孩子。句意为：然而把有天赋的孩子从普通班分出来可能会产生严重的问题。
6．A 考查形容词词义辨析。此处intelligent意为“聪明的，有天赋的”，与gifted同义。
7．B 考查形容词词义辨析。根据语境可知选regular，意为“普通的”。
8．D 考查副词词义辨析。在特殊班里的学生没怎么表现出运用自己的判断力的能力，相反，他们过分依赖老师的引导。
9．C 考查副词词义辨析。由having no worry about keeping up可知在普通班有天赋的学生不必担心跟不上课程的问题，所以他们就会自动地思考许多问题。此处voluntarily意为“自愿地，主动地”。
10．B 考查形容词词义辨析。许多人担心有天赋的孩子会感到厌烦从而对学习失去兴趣。
11．A 考查名词词义辨析。这种担心更多来自于老师和家长而不是学生。
12．B 考查名词词义辨析。根据上文的parents and teachers可知，一些老师和家长有了应该为那些有天赋的学生设立特殊班的想法。
13．A 考查形容词词义辨析。根据上文可知此处应为“有天赋的”学生。
14．D 考查动词词义辨析。根据语境可知选feel，意为“感觉”，feel so与前面的feel bored意义一致。
15．C 考查形容词词义辨析。根据上文Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious.可知此处选C。

Most people believe they don’t have much imagination.They are __1__.Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to __2__it.Creativity isn’t always __3__ with great works of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time __4__ think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
Making connections.This technique involves taking __5__ ideas and trying to find links between them.First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you
need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words__6__ with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the __7__to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original __8__；you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
No limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t__9__. You have as much time/space/money, etc.as you want.Think about your goal and the new __10__.If your goal is to learn to ski, __11__， you can now practise

【解析】1．A 很多人都认为他们没有太多的想象力，其实他们是错的。wrong意为“错误的”，符合句意。
2．C 我们每个人都有想象力，但是当我们变成成年人之后，我们忘记了如何使用我们的想象力。put up with意为“容忍，忍受”；catch up with意为“赶上”；make use of意为“使用”； keep track of意为“跟踪”。所以答案为C。
3．D 该句话的意思是“创造力并非总是和伟大的艺术品或思想相联系。”be connected with意为“与某物有联系”。
4．B routinely意为“通常地”，符合句意。
5．B 该技巧的中心是创造联系，那么就要求我们把不相关的理念联系起来，并且找出他们之间的联系。
6．D be associated with意为“与某物有关系”。
7．A 与上文的ideas一致，指的是把理念和你要做的事情联系起来。

专题1 记叙文型完形填空
专题导读
记叙文是高考完形填空的主打体裁。其主要特点是以记叙为主，辅以各种综合表达方法，包括描写、说明、议论和抒情等。通过对人和事的描写表达作者的思想感情和中心思想。记叙的要素包括时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过和结果。记叙文的另一特点就是有一定的叙事线索，如：人物线索(人物的经历、见闻、感受等)、事件线索(中心事件的来龙去脉)、感情线索(作者或作品中主要人物的思想感情变化)、时间线索、地点和空间线索等。作者在叙述过程中往往会融入人物的语言、行为、心理的描写，这在一定程度上增加了考生理解文章的难度。这时，考生必须理清上下文的脉络，对人物的语言、行为、心理等进行合理的想象和推理，并仔细揣摩作者的用意，从而透彻理解文意，达到对语境的准确理解，这样才能作出合理的选择。

专题2 夹叙夹议型完形填空
专题导读
夹叙夹议的文章是高考完形填空中最热点的一类体裁。所选文章语言地道、寓意深刻、可读性强。此类完形填空一般有以下三种结构特点：(1)事例——观点。先叙述作者自己亲历或所见所闻的一件事情，然后针对这件事情发表自己对生活的看法，或揭示生活的真理；(2)观点——事例。先提出一种观点或看法，然后围绕这一观点或看法用具体的事例来说明，一般是一个事例，有时也会用几个事例从不同的侧面加以说明；(3)观点——事例——观点。提出一种观点或看法，然后用事例说明，最后再进一步阐述或总结自己的观点。
解题时，要做到：(1)读好短文首句，琢磨文章内容。完形填空的首句一般不设空，是完整的一句话，信息就从这里开始，他暗示或告诉读者下文将会说什么。正确的利用首句信息对于把握文章的大意是极其重要和有效的；(2)感受文体风格，领会作者意图。文章的写作风格往往能表现出作者的思想倾向和情感态度，因此分析作者是否一直用某种态度叙述某件事情，就能正确地把握反映作者思想情感的关键词。

【解析】 本文属夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了一个男孩放学回家途中看到苹果树上高高挂着的苹果，尽力想摘下，但无论他如何努力，他始终没有摘下苹果，最终只能放弃回家，不过他越想越不开心。本文说明面对我们无法改变的事实时，我们应该及时改变自己的看法，这样感觉会更好。
1．C 考查形容词比较级的词义辨析。A项意为“更难过”；B项意为“更生气”；C项意为“更饿”；D项意为“味道更好”。句意为：他越看苹果，就感到越饿，就越想要拥有苹果。故选择C项。
2．B 考查动词词义辨析。A项意为“扩展”；B项意为“延伸”；C项意为“摇摆”；D项意为“拖”。句意为：他踮起脚尖，手尽可能伸高。所以用stretch表示“延伸”。
3．A 考查动词词义辨析。由句意可知，他开始上下跳得尽可能高，以便能够到苹果。所以本题选择A项jump。
4．D 考查名词词义辨析。A项意为“希望”；B项意为“手”；C项意为“视觉，视野”；D项意为“范围，延伸”。句意为：虽然跳得很高，但是仍旧够不着。out of reach意为“够不着”，是固定搭配。
5．B 考查动词词义辨析。句意为：他没有放弃，他认为要是有个东西垫高站在上面就好了。have something to stand on表示“有东西可站”。故选B项。
6．A 考查动词词义辨析。A项意为“破损，弄坏”；B项意为“摇动”；C项意为“拿走”；D项意为“撞击，碰撞”。句意为：他的书包不能垫起很高，而且他也不想弄坏(break)里面的东西，像午餐盒、铅笔盒和玩具。
7．D 考查动词短语辨析。look up意为“抬头看，查找”；look forward意为“向前看，展望”；look down意为“向下看”；look around意为“四处张望”。除了书包外，他只有四处张望寻找，希望能找到一个旧盒子、石头等可以垫高的东西，故选D项。
8．C 他已经尝试了能想到的所有办法。别无选择他只能放弃了，所以这里选C项。
9．B 考查副词的用法。放弃了摘苹果，他离开了(walk away)。
10．C 考查名词词义辨析。A项意为“希望”；B项意为“信仰，理念”；C项意为“努力”；D项意为“目标”。句意为：起初他感到气愤、失望，想到自己那么努力就生气，而且他真的很想拥有那个苹果。所以本题选择C项。
11．A 考查动词词义辨析。A项意为“想到，认为”；B项意为“想象”；C项意为“试图”；D项意为“宣称”。句意为：他想得越多，就越生气。根据句意可知选用A项。
12．B 考查副词词义辨析。A项意为“因此”；B项意为“然而”；C项意为“而且”；D项意为“否则”。句意为：然而(however)，故事中的男孩是一个聪明的孩子，即使他总是得不到他想要的东西。此处是与上文形成对比，所以选B项表示转折。
13．D 考查形容词词义辨析。A项意为“熟练的，灵巧的”；B项意为“快乐的”；C项意为“有害的”；D项意为“有益的”。句意为：他自言自语道，这(生气)无益，我没有苹果而且我也感到痛苦。
14．D 考查不定代词的用法。句意为：我再没有什么办法可以帮我去摘到苹果了，这已是不变的事实。不过，我们应该能够改变自己内心的感受(即不要生气)。因此选择D项。
15．A 考查动词词义辨析。A项意为“改变”；B项意为“表达”；C项意为“忘记”；D项意为“描述”。

【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一个人应该认识到自己的长处和短处，然后充分发挥自己的长处，对世界作出自己最大的贡献，这就是爱因斯坦放弃当以色列总统而潜心于物理学研究的原因。
1. D 根据前文提到的我们不能做好所有的事，而且有许多事情我们根本就做不了，再结合空格前表示转折意义的But可知，这里应该是指我们每个人都有自己的“天赋(gifts)”。
2．B 此处构成offer sb.sth.搭配，再结合下一个空后的by the offer可知答案。
3．C 尽管他拒绝担任以色列总统，但对此他仍然深受(deeply)感动。
4．A 从and前的平行词saddened可知只有“惭愧的(ashamed)”符合语境。
5．C 这里指缺少“与生俱来的(natural)”的资质(即天赋)，即不适合当总统。
6．B 爱因斯坦认为自己缺乏天赋和经验来行使“官方的(official)”职能。
7．D 指履行总统的职责。fulfill意为“完成，履行”。
8．C 从前文提到的原因可知他“缺少(lack)”必要的政治上的才能。
9．D 知道自己的不足真的会令我们感到“羞耻(shame)”吗？
10．B 知道自己的不足，然后“把精力集中在(focus on)”自己能做好的事情上。
11．A 指我们可能认识到也可能没有“认识到(recognize)”这个道理，即上一段最后两句提到的道理。
12．D 根据上文可知应该是我们很少有人能成为爱因斯坦，但我们仍然能对生活作出有意义的贡献。
13．A 从上题分析可知，此处contribute to意为“对……有贡献”。
14．B 当我们知道自己能做什么……由于宾语从句we can do缺少宾语且空格处还引导宾语从句，故用what。
15．C 显然我们应该找出自己的长处，做好自己能做的事情。that particular thing指我们发现自己能做的那件事。

【解析】本文是夹叙夹议文。为了使自己的大学申请表更有吸引力，作者带病学习、工作。后来，作者对这种舍本逐末的做法做出了自我反省。
1．C cause sb. to do sth.意为“促使某人做某事”，符合语境。
2．B 前文school与后文life之间存在递进关系，故选用even。
3．A 由下文可知，作者认为这种想法不见得真的如此。true意为“符合事实，是真的而不是假的或捏造的”，real意为“人或事物真实存在，而不是想象的或虚构的”。
4．B 语境：我正要离开教室，恰在此时突然感觉像是背部抽筋了。 when是并列连词，连接前后两个句子，表示“恰在此时(突然)”，因此选B。
5．C 几天不吃饭体重当然下降。
6．A hang在此表示衣服宽大、松弛的样子。
7．D 睡得少会感觉眼皮很重，故用heavy。
8．B drop class意为“旷课”，符合语境。
9．A 作者固执地认为：生活中的磨难要么把人击倒，要么使人更坚强。
10．B 作者如此卖力地工作是为了让大学申请表看起来更吸引人。do good to意为“对……有利”。
11．D 这样拼命工作，作者是为了上得起理想的大学。afford意为“花得起(钱)，拿得出(时间)”。
12．A the amount of...意为“……的数量”，这里指“工作的量(大)”，不可数，因此不能用number。
13．B 申请表再有吸引力又有什么用呢？impressive 意为“有吸引力的”，与上文 “does good”前后照应。
14．C 不能享受结果，做这些工作又有什么意义呢？point 意为“意义，道理”；reason意为“原因”；idea 意为“想法”；tip意为“尖端，建议”。
15．B 关注未来的人，应担忧(关注)现在(的健康)。

第1模块 完形填空
考纲解读
完形填空是一种综合测试，涉及的知识面很广，是用来测试考生的阅读理解能力和综合应用语言的能力。具体表现在以下几个方面：
(1)词语辨析能力
(2)语法结构分析能力
(3)语篇理解能力
(4)逻辑推理能力
(5)文化背景透析能力
(6)作者意图剖析能力
(7)生活常识综合运用能力
命题分析
完形填空在选材上主要以记叙文、夹叙夹议型的文章为主，伴之以说明文和议论文。所选材料源于生活，时代感强，语言地道，内容健康，情节丰富，寓意深刻，常涉及人物的心理活动描写，集知识、文化、教育和娱乐为一体，具有极强的可读性。词数大多在250—300，难度低于阅读理解部分的文段。
近年来的完形填空试题在选项的设置上越来越淡化语法结构，重在文意的干扰，即把具体的语言知识溶进具体的语言情景中去，考查考生通过上下文的前后提示或暗示，对整体文意进行把握的能力。这种考查方式所占的比例较大，且难度也大，若单纯从句子或个别段落来分析，或许所给的四个选项在语法和结构上都是正确的，若放在全局，则不一定正确。因此，快速浏览全文，领悟文章主旨，通过上下文的语境来选择正确答案是解决这类题的关键。以下是广东省最近三年高考自主命题的完形填空的命题特点以及实词考查对照表：
应试点睛
完形填空考查的内容和范围
1．主要考查的词类
完形填空题突出考查考生对篇章的整体理解和对语境的理解， 而在文章中只有实词才能较好地突出词汇的语境化。细读近两年的考试大纲和研究近三年的高考试题后，我们可以得知，广东卷完形填空只考查实词，主要是名词、动词(包括动词短语)、形容词、副词等。同时， 每小题的四个选项均属同一词类或同一语法形式。若四个选项都是名词， 那么都是单数名词或复数名词或是不可数名词；若四个选项都是形容词或副词， 要么都是原级， 要么都是比较级， 要么都是最高级；如果都是动词， 那么四个选项要么都是及物动词或不及物动词， 要么都是 ing形式或 ed形式， 要么都是动词原形。
2．试题的选文特点
广东卷完形填空的体裁可以是具有一定故事情节的记叙文， 或是夹叙夹议、富有哲理的议论文， 也可以是说明文。
2009～2011年广东高考英语试题的三篇文章的主题都很明确， 内容完整， 结构严谨， 层次分明， 逻辑性强， 文章内容新， 立意高， 构思巧妙， 富有一定的时代特色和教育意义， 句式结构不是很复杂， 知识内涵没有超出中学生的认知水平， 考生读起来熟悉、亲切、自然， 其难度略高于高三教材。
完形填空的首句是文章的窗口， 有助于考生了解和推测全文的大意， 所以短文首句均不设空， 每两题空格最大间隔一般不超过30个词， 最小不低于5个词。
广东卷完形填空的全部答案都是通过理解上下文来确定的， 也可以说是要求考生从文章中找出直接或间接的答案。它一般不设纯语法题， 如不设主谓一致题， 不设复合句的连接词， 不考介词、代词等。另外， 四个选项中一般不会出现很难辨析的同义词或近义词。逻辑推理、背景知识、生活常识、习惯用法和搭配是命题者经常考虑的命题点。
3．考查的主要技能
首先，考查考生结合文章上下文对词汇意义及其用法的理解和运用能力。完形填空题型有相当一部分试题是考查考生能否根据文章的上下文来正确辨别所给选项， 选出最适合文章语境的词或词组。其次，考查考生灵活运用习惯用法和常用搭配的能力。另外，考查考生根据生活常识进行推理和判断的能力。
探究点一 对名词和动词的考查
完形填空主要考查语境理解， 而在通常情况下， 只有实词才能较好地体现语境。2009～2011年广东高考英语卷完形填空考查的全为实词， 如名词、动词、形容词、副词等。
一、名词
名词是完形填空中对词汇考查的重要内容之一。名词在英语基本词汇中所占比例很大， 而且英语中名词的同义词和近义词很多， 所以对名词考查的主要项目是名词词义辨析， 此外还有名词与介词的搭配、名词与动词的搭配等。
做题时应该注意：
1．名词的基本意义以及同、近义名词的区分
例1 Chinese arts have won the ________ of a lot of people outside China.
A．enjoyment B．appreciation
C．entertainment D．reputation
【解析】 B 本题考查名词的词义辨析。enjoyment享乐， 快乐；appreciation欣赏， 正确评价， 感激；entertainment款待， 娱乐；reputation名誉， 名声。根据语境“中国的艺术得到许多海外人士的好评”可知答案为B。
2．名词在特定情景、语境中的特殊含义
例2 “The longer you stay away from the motherland，” she said, “the sweeter your blood grows to the mosquitoes.” Well, less than a week after my arrival, I was already carpeted with a ________ of mosquito bites.
A．shade B．pile
C．cloud D．blanket
【解析】 D blanket原意是“毯子，毛毯”， 此处意思是“像毯子一样的厚厚的覆盖物”， 此处引申为“一层”。另外， blanket常用作名词， 意思是“毯子”， 也可用作动词， 意思是“像毯子一样覆盖”。
例3 It didn’t matter whether you were black, white or Asian; everyone worked together for the ________ of the company.
A．good B．boss
C．rest D．right
【解析】 A 此处good是名词， 意为“好处，利益”。

【解析】 D of the same mind是固定结构， 意为“意见一致，想法一致”。
二、动词
动词是高考考查的热点。命题者通过设计特定的、真实的语境对动词和动词短语的用法进行考查。
做题时应该注意：
1．动词的基本意义、引申意义
例9 Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as EL Nino.The appearance of EL Nino is known to ________ the weather around the world.
A．effect B．Affect C．spoil D．heat

探究点二 对形容词和副词的考查
形容词、副词是高考完形填空题重要的考查内容。形容词可以修饰名词；副词主要用来修饰动词、形容词、副词等。广东高考完形填空考查的副词有相当一部分是方式副词(表示行为动作发生方式的副词)。
重点掌握以下两类副词：
1．由形容词加后缀ly构成的副词， 如slowly(慢慢地), politely(有礼貌地), proudly(骄傲地), carelessly(粗心地), properly(适当地， 完全地), successfully(成功地)，
badly(严重地， 非常)等。
2．由分词加后缀ly构成的副词， 如surprisingly(使人惊奇的是), hurriedly(匆忙地), undoubtedly(无疑， 必定)等。
做题时应该注意：
1．形容词、副词的基本意义、引申意义
例1 That his only son was killed in a car accident was a __________ blow to the old man.
A．heavy B．broad
C．huge D．main
【解析】 A 老人唯一的儿子在车祸中丧生对他来说是沉重的打击。这里的heavy意思是“强烈的， 沉重的”。
例2 She has the ability to keep________ in an emergency.

【解析】 B 我们不妨从这几个表示“静”的反义词的角度来加以辨析。calm对应wild, 指海上无浪， 情绪稳定；still对应moving, 指不动；silent对应wordy, 指不出声；quiet对应noisy, 指安静， 无噪音。由句意可知应选B。
例3 Mr.Smith used to smoke ________ but he has given it up.
A．seriously B．heavily
C．badly D．hardly
【解析】 B Mr.Smith以前抽烟抽得很凶， 但现在已经戒掉了。这里的heavily指的是量大， 次数频繁。
例4 The final score of the basketball match was 93∶94.We were only ________ beaten.
A．nearly B．slightly
C．narrowly D．lightly
【解析】 C 副词narrowly在此表示“勉强地”。句意：篮球赛的最后比分是93∶94。我们以微弱的劣势输掉了比赛。
例5 It is always difficult being in a foreign country, ________ if you don’t speak the language.
A．extremely B．naturally
C．basically D．especially

C．entirely D．freely
【解析】 C strongly强烈地；extremely极端地， 非常；entirely全部地， 完全地； freely自由地。根据句意， C项最符合。
2．同、近义形容词、副词的区别
在对形容词和副词的考查中， 有时会碰到同义、近义词的辨析。辨析时， 单从汉语意思上有时是无法辨清的。我们要逆向思维， 采用反义对比、分析构词等方法， 使语义一目了然。
例7 When I took his temperature, it was two degrees above ________.
A．average B．ordinary
C．regular D．normal
例8 Letter boxes are much more ________ in the UK than in the US, where most people have a mailbox instead.
A．Common B．Normal C．ordinary D．usual
例9 It’s in the ________ interest that we should have a well run health service.
A．ordinary B．general
C．Particular D．usual
例10 Now, in our country, free medical treatment covers sickness of mind as well as ________sickness.
A．normal B．average
C．ordinary D．regular
【解析】 7.D 8.A 9.B 10.C 这组题目主要涉及ordinary, usual, common和normal等词语的辨析。要辨清这几个中文意义十分相近的词的用法， 我们不妨来个逆向思维， 从它们的反义词上去寻找一些“蛛丝马迹”：ordinary — special (特殊的)；general — specific, particular (具体的， 个体的)；common — rare (少见的)；normal — abnormal (不正常的)。从反义词的角度， 把同义、近义词作对比， 它们的区别便一目了然。
3．形容词与介词的搭配
例11 This magazine is very ________ with young people, who like its content and style.
A．familiar B．popular
C．similar D．particular
【解析】 B be familiar with熟悉；be popular with受……欢迎；be similar to与……相似(注意不搭配介词with)；be particular about对……很讲究(不搭配介词with)。
4．副词与动词的搭配
例12 I ________ recognize the difficult situation the company is in.
A．Strongly B．deeply
C．sincerely D．fully
【解析】 D 注意记忆一些常用表达， 如deeply regret 深感遗憾；fully recognize完全认清；sincerely hope由衷地希望；strongly recommend强烈建议。
5．语境
对形容词、副词的考查， 侧重语境考查占较大比重。解答此类题目时不仅要理解形容词和副词的词义， 而且对语境的正确理解更为重要。所以，要根据语境选择与短文所描述的情景或叙述的人、物、事件的性质、特征等有关的形容词或副词， 选择与短文前后叙述的话题、主题、中心内容相关的形容词或副词。
例13 The committee is discussing the problem right now. It will ________ have been solved by the end of next week. A．eagerly ．hopefullyC．immediately Ｄ ．gradually
【解析】 B 既然“现在正在讨论”， 那么这个问题在一定时间内得到解决是“有希望的”。比较四个选项， 你会发现A、C、D在逻辑上都讲不通， 可知答案是B。
例14 At times, worrying is a normal, ________ response to a difficult event or situation — a loved one being injured in an accident, for example.
A．effective B．individual
C．inevitable D．unfavorable
【解析】 C 分析题干的语境可知， 既然“worrying”是对困难的一种正常反应， 那么这种现象的发生就是自然的， 也是“不可避免的”。
探究点三 前制性、后制性和语篇性的设空
完形填空答案有的由已读过的上文决定， 有的由未读过的下文决定， 还有的要综合上下文而定， 这三种设空方法分别称为前制性设空、后制性设空和语篇性设空。毫无疑问， 前制性设空难度低， 后制性设空难度较高， 语篇性设空难度最大。
1．前制性设空：答案由已读过的上文决定
例1 I couldn’t bear the pain of the bites.I woke up my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine.Unhappy for being ______ she said, “There is nothing you can do…”
A．blamed B．interrupted
C．moved D．frightened
【解析】 B 根据I woke up my cousin可以知道答案。
例2 Being alone in outer space can be frightening.That is one reason why astronauts on solo space flights were given plenty of work to keep them ________ .
A．tired B．asleep
C．conscious D．busy
【解析】 D 既然Being alone in outer space can be frightening. 那么astronauts...were given plenty of work的目的就是使他们有事可做。
2．后制性设空：答案由未读过的下文决定
例3 Ring up this lady.She wants a ________ immediately.In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.
A．Cook B．help
C．teacher D．secretary
【解析】 A 根据下文…have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner可以知道答案。
例4 Liu Mei is among the ________ ones. The Chinese University of Hong Kong granted Liu a full scholarship — HK$500,000. Not all students are so fortunate.
A．poor B．smart
C．lucky D．silent
【解析】 C 根据下文．..granted Liu a full scholarship和Not all students are so fortunate.可以知道答案。
例5 It had been a long standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could ________lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one.” was my husband’s response.
A．give B．take
C．draw D．teach
【解析】 B 根据下文Learn to play the piano, and...可以知道答案。
3．语篇性设空：综合上下文后敲定答案
这种设题方式体现了“突出语篇”的命题思路。
例6 I did very badly at school.My headmaster thought I was ________ and when I was 14 he said, “You’re never going to be anything but a failure.”
A．bright B．useless
C．simple D．hopeful
【解析】 B 根据上文．..did very badly和下文You’re never going to be anything but a failure, 可知答案。
例7 I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week. It was one of the most ________ games I’ve ever had. When Ed suggested we play, I laughed quietly, figuring on an easy victory. ...When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs. In a way, I think we both won: I won the game, but cousin Ed won my respect.
A．encouraging B．hopeless
C．surprising D．regular
【解析】 C 此题并非考查四个词的区别， 而是考查对全文的理解。根据后文提到的作者预计的得分与实际得分相比较， 这场比赛的结果是出人意料的， 所以可以推断C项为正确答案。
探究点四 句子、句组和语篇的层次
完形填空题设空的答案有的由一个句子决定， 有的由相邻不远的一组句子决定， 还有的由语篇内容综合决定。因此， 完形填空设空分为句子层次、句组层次和语篇层次。设空的难度， 从句子层次到句组层次， 再到语篇层次， 依次递增。
1．句子层次
完形填空的设空答案由一个句子决定。其所提供的四个选项往往在语法上都能成立， 但从语境来看， 却只有一个选项是最合适的。
例1 I could hardly wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to ________ the coffee, tea and morning goodies.
A．start B．Cook C．set D．serve
【解析】 A cook(烹调)与后面的宾语coffee和tea不搭配， 它可以与breakfast搭配；set(摆放)，serve(端饭菜)都必须有服务对象， 通过对全段的理解可知我一早就去厨房，此时家里其他人都还没起床； start(开始动手)正说明一开始的情况。
例2 For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, hoping that the couple would finally become ________ and go away.
A．surprised B．disappointed
C．worried D．troubled
【解析】 B 根据句子中的took no notice和go away可以判断出答案。
例3 I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a“________”， or...
A．Cry B．Laugh
C．Chat D．Sigh
【解析】 B 根据“Funny”可以判断出答案。
2．句组层次
完形填空题有的设空仅仅根据一个句子往往解决不了问题， 必须联系上下句， 甚至更多的句子才能得出答案。有的试题需要考生越过句子， 甚至是段落来进行理解和推断。句组层次的题型， 比句子层次的在难度上提高了。
例4 And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream. I made my __1__ to start my own company and leave my secure position after __2__ a regional sales meeting. The vice president of our company delivered a __3__ that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be？” After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a god？” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.
1．A.plan B．Promise C．decision D．mind
2．A.attending B．Joining C．entering D．holding
3．A.newspaper B．Book C．report D．speech
【解析】 1.C 从空后的to start my own company and leave my secure(无忧无虑的) position我们知道这是作者作出的“决定”。
2．A 从空后的a regional sales meeting 我们知道作者是参加会议。
3．D 从He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be？” 以及后文我们知道， 他作的是一个“演讲”， 而不是作报告。
3．语篇层次
完形填空的设空答案若从单句或局部来分析， 所给的四个答案在语法或结构上都是正确的， 若统观全篇， 则只有一个是正确的。语篇层次是完形填空命题的较高层次， 这个层次的题难度较大， 做题时需要具备很强的阅读理解能力以及逻辑推理、分析判断的能力。
例5
Dear Laura，
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program.You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world.Well, I’m here to give you ________ .
...
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still exists and lives even in the ever changing world of me, me, me! I thought you’d love to share this story.
A．hope B．Advice C．support D．courage
Yours，
Hilary
【解析】 A You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world.这句话正体现作者要说明的中心是unselfish love(无私的爱), 而信的结尾又作了肯定回答that kind of love still exists and lives even in the ever changing world of me, me, me！首尾呼应， 中心明确。把握住这个中心， 对选出正确选项极有帮助。本小题在第一段中体现出对全文的概括， 文中的you持怀疑态度， 作者当然不可能support(支持)、courage(鼓励)；advice(劝告)是在对方没主意的情况下发出的；hope(希望)正是针对怀疑而来， 作者在下文中用事实给you以“希望”， 打消you的怀疑。
例6 Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the________ and have made up their minds to ring the bells non stop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run day and night through the narrow High Street.
...
“Not really，” she said, “actually we are proper bell ringers. I mean we are assistant bell ringers for the church...I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.”
A．college B．village
C．town D．church
【解析】 D 该题答案提示一直到最后(I mean we are assistant bell ringers for the church...I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.)才出现， 答案选D。
