本文是一篇故事情节较强的记述文。

文章述了“父怎样执行自己曾儿子下的言” ，故事生、动人，极富吸引力。

事性叙文相而言，度不大，考生简单掌握文意，通理解主句，依据叙文的基本因素理清文章的主、背景、、地
址、人物、事件等，掌握文章的展方向，就能利达到“完形”的目的。

解指：
1.B only to do sth. “ 果却，不料”，作果状，表示果在主的料以外；在分作果状，表示
由主句所生的上的果。

realize 在海里思“ 到，认识”；find在表面上就能“ ，看出”。

2. A四个都是英成，依据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America 判断， A 。

3.D 从意上判断，“他想起了他曾他儿子下的言”； memorized 是“背，熟”。

4.A 从构上剖析，句是省略了的省略句，省略以后，意仍旧清楚，如不省略，使用第
三人称数happens。

从意上剖析，可清除C、 D 。

5. A表示“哭泣”，几个都可能表示种意，但句式搭配不一样，其表形式分Tears fill his eyes ；Tears
come into his eyes；He bursts into tears 。

6.B 从上下文意判断，“他不断地想起他他儿子下的言” 。

7. B和短是完形填空的要点之一。

此要分清四的不一样含。

dig 及物，“掘（土），挖”；
dig through “（找⋯⋯）在⋯⋯里发掘”； dig out “ 掘出”dig into “ 研”。

8. D从构上剖析，用在分作陪伴状，用and 表示并列，用 said。

9. C Come on 表示，不耐，意“得啦！，来！”，可用 Come, Come,取代。

10. D从上判断 one line“一句（台）”，A 中的 one word 干性大，它表示“一个”，如用 words 是
正确的。

11. A“介 +反身代”有固定含，for oneself 单独地，自； by oneself 独地； of oneself 自行地，自地；
to oneself（着）自己。

12. C四个都有“活着的”之意，live 用作定，作表用living ， alive。

living 和 alive 在乎上有微
差， living 可作定和表，含有“本以死了，但是活着” ，又如：I can’tbelieve my first teacher is still living。

alive
作表和后置定，其含与dead 相。

lively “生的，活的” 。

13.D “在第 38 小的候，⋯⋯”，序数以前要用定冠。

14.B 注意四个的区： sound “（各样）声音”；voice “（人的）嗓音” noise“（不动听的）嘈音”；
tone“（人的）气，” 。

15. B是表未来的虚气，主句顶用would + 原形，从下文的句子中也能找到似的句子。

16. A从意上判断，“假如你来救我，他也会获救。

”是条件状从句，用if 引，但是中没有if ，
when 与 if 同，引条件状从句。

even if 引步状从句。

17. C此包括一个固定句型：There are ⋯ left. “ 有⋯⋯节余下来” 。

18. C14 ⋯out of 33 意： 33人中有 14 人活下来。

out of “从⋯⋯里面” 。

特注意此中的介与前方的left
没有任何系。

假如没存心到点，极可能会。

19.D 从意上判断，“房子坍毁，自然形成的三角缝隙”。

而 make room; make space 意“（存心地）⋯⋯ 出空”。

20.A 从上下文意判断，此句原由状从句。

（ B ）

本文是一篇拥有必定真理和教育意义的、夹叙夹议的谈论文。

文章通述“盲目追星” 一案例，了然“看不要只看表面，而要‘ Go Deep ’着重内含” 一点。

近几年高考完形填空题多采纳这种体裁，一定惹起高度重视。

这种短文经常引用某一详细案例加以，剖析
事物的展方向，进而得出。

文章的构，性。

对学生的语篇整体理解能力和连接思想能力有较
高的要求。

解指：
1.A介的固定搭配，“在某种程度上” 。

2.D know about “认识”从下文中也能找到同样的短。

3.D apart from “除⋯⋯外，有⋯⋯”，拥有“附带性”。

其余拥有“排他性”。

从上文中也能找到相
同的短。

4.C此“介 +关系代”引定从句，about与 be uncertain 搭配。

5.B从上文中的 we all 判断，“不是我，有我的朋友”。

6.A从构上判断，此句含有和构，this ，后用数。

从下文的意上判断，“生活中的
趣之一”。

7.C否认句顶用 or 接。

“不要达到狂和胡的程度”。

8.D“正如俗所的” ，此四个都有“ ”之意，但是它都有自己的搭配， A. speaks“ 言，演”；
B. talks “交”；
C. tells “告”；如用 says 是正确的，此中的goes 与 says 同。

9.B judge⋯by⋯或 judge⋯ from ⋯“依据⋯⋯判断”，从上句中能找到同样的意。

10.A“是一个人好的道德和献才得以成明星”。

make 以后接复合。

11.D从上下文意上判断，“在相貌上要少” 。

12.C从句子构上剖析，用在分形式作陪伴状。

13.A从句子构上剖析，此定从句，that 取代先行 things，因此用复数形式，关系代在从句中作
主， that 不可以省略。

14.B此句的句子构复，主是前方的the things ，此要填，因为主和之有一个定从
句，造成了句子的复性。

意“⋯⋯有明确的意”。

15.D从意上判断，“假如我不着重内含，足表面的西，早会我将一无所”。

16.C从句子的接上剖析有“因果”关系。

17.C从意上判断，“除非我意到点并做某些改，否的⋯⋯”。

18.B从意上判断，“更着重内含是一个人步（成熟）的象征”。

19.B pains 在此及物，意“ （苦）心”，种意与上下文是相通的。

本文是一篇文。

作者“努力工作有利于身体健康” 一点行睁开。

体裁性的完形填空也是高考命的一大，考生来，有必定的度。

解不要注
意句子中的搭配，更要从整体上掌握文章的构，依据文章的行文行合理的推测。

如本中的第2、6、 7、12、 13、 19 小。

解指：
1. B 从文章的主句 Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. 剖析，可得出“ 女比家庭主更健康” 。

A 法。

2.C 依据上一句行推理，“没有工作的人比有工作的人身体差” 。

3. A 从构上剖析，在从句中又有一个状从句。

意“研究表示当失率上涨1%，死亡率相上涨2%。

”
4.A短意的区是完形填空的常考点，考生平注意累。

come down to “ ”；equal to“等于”；
add up to “合”； amount to“ 共到；相当于” 。

5.D此的干性大，需从意和构双方面行剖析， A “不填”仿佛有可能，但从构上斟酌，然不
符“ keep sb. + adj.” 构；再从意上剖析，可清除 B 、 C 。

此的意“令人免遭孤单和孤独”。

6.D从下文⋯ and lonely when they have nothing to do 行推理，意“没事做的人会感觉unhappy, worried and lonely ”。

7.A从上下文上判断。

“最快的人是那些大忙人。

”
8.D从下一句剖析，意“工作看作人与生活系的梁”。

9.B 从意上判断，“通工作人互相系（接触）”。

10.A means“意味着” 。

11. D 从意上剖析， A 、 C 不切合上下文的关系， B 于重，达不到“死亡”的程度。

12.A 从文章的篇章构上剖析，上文述的是工作人来的益，下文是述方面的内容，属“ ”
的关系，而不是“ 折”的关系。

因此A。

13.B 从意上判断，此必同前方的 a sense of fulfillment （充感）意相似。

因此 B ，意“成就感”
14.C 从下文的 his writing 可判断出答案。

15.C 依据医生从事的工作性可判定是“成功地病人手”。

16.B “老看到学生成”，主要表示在知、上的。

17. D beyond words “没法用言表达”； in a word “ 言之”；without a word “二没”； at a word “反快速地，立刻”。

18. A 从法构上剖析，which 和 what。

conclusion以后一个同位从句，依据同位从句的特色，that 不可以省略，也不可以
用
19.D 从全文意上剖析，“工作越多，人就会越高、越健康” 。

而不是“越孤独、越衰弱” 。

从句子构上剖析，此含有一个“ the more ⋯ ,the more⋯”句型。

20. A 从句子构上判断，此句三个并列。

同注意修要用副well ，不可以用形容good 。

英语阅读理解精练三篇附详尽分析
(A)
Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
"It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There's no simple way to climb it. There are
threatening avalanches (雪崩 ) and ice falls that protect the mountain."
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's story was of frostbite ( ) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks. Finally, he's done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it," said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us
to come down."
What's next for a man who can't stop climbing? "I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
1.What record has Ed Viesturs set?
A.He has succeeded in climbing to the world ’s 14th highest mountain.
B.He has been to the top of the world ’s 14 highest mountains.
C.He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.
D.He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
2.The underlined word “hooked ”in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.
A. frightened
B. discouraged
C. interested
D. upset
3. The author used Viestures’words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ______.
A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
D. those who like mountain climbing wo n’tstop climbing
4.What’s the next probably plan of Viestures?
A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family.
B. Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.
C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.
D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
(B)
Although hurricane season doesn't begin until June 1, a Pacific storm has already struck. El Salvador, which was ruined by a Caribbean storm in 1995, was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday. This is the first Pacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.
Some 14,000 people left from the western coast of El Salvador. The storm weakened as it crossed land, heading east. Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricane's wake.
Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season. It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles per hour, the minimum strength of a hurricane. A Category 3 hurricane, Adrian also caused damage and flooding in Honduras. It is expected to break up before reaching the Caribbean Sea on the eastern coast of Central America.
Hurricane season typically begins June 1 and lasts through November 30. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted ( 预告 ) seven to nine hurricanes for the 2005 season.
"It is difficult to make any kind of an exact prediction of how many of these will strike land," NOAA administrator
Conrad Lautenbacher said. He predicts two to three hurricanes will strike the U.S. this season.
Last year, six of nine hurricanes reached Category 3 strength or higher. Four of those hit Florida within a six-week period. Altogether, Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne caused more than $40 billion in damage in the Sunshine State.
This year's forecast is based on ocean temperatures. Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms, which can then turn into hurricanes.
"The issue, really, this year is the unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic," said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.
5.Which of the following is the 2005 first hurricane?
A. Charley.
B. Adrian.
C. Jeanne.
D. Frances.
6.How many countries struck by the hurricane are mentioned in the text?
A. Six.
B. Nine.
C. Five.
D. Three.
7.We can infer that warmer ocean temperatures ______.
A. have nothing to do with the hurricane
B. cause less hurricane
C. are more likely to cause the hurricanes
D. do a lot of damage to the areas along the coast
8.The passage implies that _______.
A.hurricane season comes early this year
B.every hurricane formed in oceans could cause great damage to the land
C. hurricane often comes in winter and spring
D. tropical storm is more severe than hurricane
(C)
It's not quite a rat. Nor is it a squirrel, or a mouse. It's definitely a rodent (目物), and it's also a brand-new family of mammals.
The locals of the Southeast Asian country of Laos call the creature a kha-nyou (ga-nyou). The kha-nyou have long body hair, short legs, and a hairy tail less thick than a squirrel's. They're vegetarians living in the rocky hills of Laos, and they come
out at night, but for more information, you'll have to ask the Lao people.
"It was for sale on a table next to some vegetables. I knew immediately it was something I had never seen before," said Robert Timmins, a researcher for the Wildlife Conservation Society. Timmins was working in Laos to stop people from selling endangered animals when he spotted the species. Criminals who trade illegal wildlife can make a lot of money, but they also push the animals closer to disappearing from the planet.
The kha-nyou live in karsts, or rough rock. Mark Robinson, a scientist with the World Wildlife Foundation, set out with
Lao villagers to find a few more of the rodents for study. They climbed onto a karst, trapped with rice, and caught several.
"To find something so unusual in this day and age is just extraordinary," said Timmins. "For all we know, this could be the
last remaining animal family left to be discovered."
It's a big deal to discover an entirely new family of animals. Humans, for instance, belong to the same family as great apes, chimpanzees, and gorillas. So even though kha-nyous look like rats, they're really very different. The last time scientists discovered a new family of mammals may have been in the 1970s, when they found new bats in Thailand.
Timmins seems to have the gift for finding new animals in Laos—he discovered a new species of rabbit there in 1999.
Scientists call the kha-nyou Laonastes aenigmamus, which means "mysterious mouse that lives among the stones." But if that's too hard, Timmins and Robinson suggest you call them "rock rats."
9. Which of the following is not the name for this new creature?
A. Karsts.
B. Kha-nyou.
C. rock rats.
D. Laonastes aenigmamus.
10.Which of the following cannot describe the new species of rodent?
A. They live among the rocky hills of Laos.
B. They live on meat of other animals.
11. Which of the following is the last discovery of new species of animal except the rodent?
12.It implies in the passage that ______.
A.finding a new animal family in Southeast Asia is easy
B.finding a new animal family in modern time is extremely rare
C.in Southeast Asia new species of animals are often discovered
D.animals that look like the same are of the same family
