高考专项突破——完形填空( 附答案详析)
一、完形填空解题策略:
1.跳过空格、通读全文、把握大意。
先跳过空格,通读试题所给的要完形填空的短文,获得整体印象,做到弄清文脉、抓住主旨,较好地把握短文大意。
要在阅读理解短文意思的基础上才开始判定选择,切忌仓促下笔。
2.结合选项、综合考虑、初定答案。
在理解全文意思的基础上,再结合所给备选项细读全文,联系上、下文内容,注意从上、下文的语法结构和词语搭配及从选择项中寻找解题的提示,以词、句的意义为先,再从分析句子结构入手,根据短文意思、语法规则、词语固定搭配等进行综合考虑,对备选项逐一进行分析、比较和筛选,排除干扰项、初步选定答案。
3.瞻前顾后、先易后难、各个击破。
动笔时要瞻前顾后、通篇考虑、先易后难。
对比较明显直接的、自己最有把握的答案先做,一下子不能确定答案的,先跳过这一空格,继续往下做,最后回过头来再集中精力解决难点。
这时可结合已确定答案的选项再读一遍短文,随着对短文理解的深入,可以降低试题的难度,提高选择的正确率。
4.复读全文、逐空验证、弥补疏漏。
完成各道题选择后,把所选的答案代入原文,再把全文通读一篇,逐空认真复查。
看所选定的答案是否使短文意思前后连贯、顺理成章,语法结构是否正确,是否符合习惯表达法。
如发现错误答案或有疑问的,应再次推敲、反复斟酌、做出修正。
做完形填空选择题时应注意如下几点:
1.完形填空的短文通常没有标题且文章的首句和尾句,一般不设空,要特别注重对首、尾句的理解,因为它们往往提示或点明文章的主题,对理解全文有较大帮助。
2.第一遍通读带有空缺单词的短文时可能一时把握不住短文内容,弄不清头绪,这是很正常的。
此时要注意克服畏难情绪和急躁心理,应稳定情绪,再将短文读一、二遍,直到明确大意为止。
3.做题时切勿一看到一个空格就急着选出一个答案,这样往往只见树木不见树林。
由于缺乏全局观念,极易导致连续选错。
因为完形填空不同于单个句子的选词填空,其空白处是位于一篇文章之中,因此必须纵观全文、通篇考虑。
4.每篇完形填空所设的空多以实词为主,所提供的四个备选项中只有一个是正确的,其它三项均为干扰项。
而干扰项也多半与前、后的句子或词组可以形成某种搭配,即如单从语法角度判断则无法确定,还必须从语篇意义上加以鉴别。
5.动笔时先易后难,先完成容易、有把握的答案,这样可以增强自信心,然后再集中精力解决难点。
对于实在无法确定的,可以从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找提示,大胆地作出猜测。

One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to 36 a great climbing plant that had grown 37 a roof beam(房梁),so that we could repair the roof and 38 the walls.

for granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, however, he felt 39 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 40 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job

According to Jimmy, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 48 in Jimm y’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 49 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 50 .
Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the“small people”in Jimmy’s books—if we make choices that are 52 for us.

The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the I-595 freeway
near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to 36 the sweat off my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky.“ 37 can’t it rain?” I thought. That would 38 things down.
I thought about my 39 , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned
40 right now. I’d had some problems in school, 41 my parents decided to let me 42 full-time with my dad, We both worked for my uncle, who had taken 43 of a maintenance(道路养护)company. It was up to us to keep the roads 44 of rubbish. The job was 45 and dirty, especially on hot days 46 this. I wondered why I ever agreed to do it.
We continued our 47 route along the I-595, 48 for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some 49 were broken on the ground. It wasn’t like that before.
“Dad! Pull over! I want to 50 something out.”

Shaking off the 41 like a wet dog , I entered Mr Rader’s office . After a quick glance he 42 me over to the fire-place . Noticing the 43 in the top of my 44 , he said , “ Come with me !” pulling me into his pickup 45 . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store . Inside , a salesman 46 me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had 47 seen . I 48 about 10 feet tall when I got up 49 them . “ We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr Rader said .
Back in his office , Mr Rader took out a 50 , wrote something on it , and handed it to me . With 51 eyes , I read , “ Do to others as you would have them do to you .” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy , I want you to 52 I love you”.

One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign(竞选)finance reform(改革). The people who are 36 for reform usually want the 37 to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates(候选人)and their 38 can spend.
One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to 39 for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 40 money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 41 so many money raising events.
Another 42 is the fear that candidates will be owned or 43 by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 44 .
On the 45 side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really 46 just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is 47 if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.
If one person or a group of people want to tell the 48 what they think about
an issue or candidate, they have to buy 49 on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of 50 .
Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of 51 or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control 52 discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 53 .
What do you think about this 54 ? Listen to what the candidates for national office have to say. Which candidates 55 the most sense to you? 36.A.waiting B.calling C.standing D.preparing 37.A.government B.president C.candidates D.citizens
38.A.leaders B.bosses C.supporters D.states 39.A.pay B.compete C.wait D.work 40.A.raising B.earning C.giving D.getting 41.A.notice B.report C.guard D.attend 42.A.event B.cost C.reason D.office 43.A.encouraged B.forced C.controlled

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelli gence . But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people .
The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’(非智力因素)include 36 feelings , will , motivation (动机), interests and habits . After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males , American psychologists (心理学)37 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 38 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn , will power and self-confidence .
39 people all know that one should have definite objectives , a strong will and good learning habits , quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 40 these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried 41 their children fail to do well in their studies . They blame either genetic (遗传的)factors , malnutrition ,(营养不良)or laziness , but they never take 42 consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time , some teachers don’t inquire into these , as reasons 43 students do poorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises , or 44 criticize or laugh at them . After all , these students lose self-confidence . Some of them just feel defeated and
45 themselves up as hopeless . Others may go astray(迷途)because they are sick of learning . 46 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 47 of learning , because of examinations , 36.4 per cent lacked persistence , initiative (主动)and consciousness (正直地、谨慎的)and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .
It is clear 48 the lack of cultivation (培养)of non-intelligence factors has been a main 49 to intelligence development in teenagers . It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and 50 development among a few students .
If we don’t start now to 51 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 52 of teenagers , but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward 53 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors .
First , parents and teachers should 54 understand teenage psychology . On this basis , they can help them to pursue (调动)the objectives of learning , 55 their interests and toughening their willpower .

You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes’ break between classes. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can’t 36 how quickly time has passed.
If you are familiar with this 37 , you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun-and 38 when you are bored. Now scientists have 39 a reason why this is the case.
Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 40 according to how we focus on a task. When we are 41 , we concentrate more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains 42 the clock is ticking more slowly.
In an experiment 43 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image 44
researchers monitored their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to 45 concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then
46 the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that 47 was more active when the volunteers paid 48 subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is 49 focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 50 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. 51 , time
passes without us really 52 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 53 energies on monitoring the passing of time.
54 , time seems to drag.
Next time you feel bored 55 , perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!
