考研英语完形填空：你不知道的秘密

凯程考研集训营，为学生引路，为学员服务！考研英语完形填空：你不知道的秘密从分值角来看，大家都知道考研英语阅读理解是半壁江山，占总分的60%。

包括阅读、翻译和新题型三部分。

第二大得分点就是英语大小作文，总共30分。

更重要的是相对阅读作文较容易得分。

这也是冲刺阶段，同学们复习的重点。

但是，正因为如此，很多同学忽略了最后一部分完形填空。

主要原因在于考生得分往往只有2-3分，付出的努力与得到的回报不成比例。

因此，大部分考生都打算放弃完型，或者在考试最后还有时间的情况下蒙答案。

这固然是一种好的答题策略，但是，如果有好的应对办法，即使能提高一分也是非常有用的。

好的办法是什么，且看考试点朵拉老师为大家指点迷津。

两大误区很多同学因为从心理上和策略上不重视完形填空，也就不会花太多时间研究完形填空及其做题方法和技巧。

因为这样做会花费很多时间。

最多也就每天做一篇练习，也只达到熟悉题型的目的。

因此，很多考生并不真正了解完形填空，并形成了两种误区。

首先，很多同学认为完形填空阅读量小，一般每篇文章只有240-280个单词，看上去不难，从一开始就没准备下大力气复习准备。

也就是在主观上轻视。

其次，很多同学认为完形填空所填的空都是单词，而且很简单。

所以，只需每天花时间记单词就可以，不用刻意再去做练习。

深度价值事实上，完形填空并不是大家所认为的这样，而是有更多价值尚未挖掘。

首先，做完形填空是检验考生掌握单词是否牢固的一个大好机会。

因为，考研英语学习，记单词是从开始复习到考试前一天，每天都要做的必备工作。

所以，在做阅读和完型填空时，遇到不熟悉的、尚未记牢的、同义词、形近词等，应该随时整理出来，每天花时间复习。

其次，做完型也有助于锻炼提高考生阅读能力，特别是根据上下文判断推理的能力。

因为，完形填空的游戏规则就是用已知信息确定未知信息。

另外，完形填空真题都是经过精挑细选深加工完成的，并不仅仅是一道题，同时也是一篇高质量的文章。

积累背诵优美的句子，尝试着用高级词汇替换其中的简单词汇，也对提高写作能力大有帮助。

考研英语一完形填空蒙abcd

考研英语一完形填空蒙abcd全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Blind Guessing for Cloze Tests in English for Postgraduate Entrance ExamsIf you're planning to take the English exam for postgraduate admissions, you've probably heard about the dreaded cloze test section. For those unfamiliar, it's that part where they give you a passage with several blanks, and you have to choose the correct word from multiple choice options to fill each blank. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, let me tell you, it's a real mind-bender!As someone who has been through the wringer of preparation for these exams, I can confidently say that the cloze test is the stuff of nightmares. No matter how much you study, how many practice tests you take, or how extensive your vocabulary is, those blanks always seem to mock you with their ambiguity.Now, I'm not one to advocate for shortcuts or cheating, but when it comes to the cloze test, sometimes you just have to embrace the art of blind guessing. Yes, you read that right –blind guessing. It's a survival tactic that has helped many a student scrape through this section relatively unscathed.The first step in mastering the art of blind guessing is to develop a keen sense of observation. As you read through the passage, pay close attention to the context surrounding each blank. Look for clues in the sentence structure, the tone, and the overall theme of the passage. These subtle hints can sometimes point you in the right direction, even if you're unsure of the exact word.Next, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the different types of words that commonly appear in cloze tests. Adjectives, nouns, verbs, and prepositions are frequent offenders, so it's a good idea to brush up on your knowledge of these word classes. Knowing the basic functions and relationships between these parts of speech can help you eliminate unlikely options and increase your chances of guessing correctly.Now, let's talk about the actual guessing process. When you're faced with a blank and none of the options seem to make sense, it's time to channel your inner psychic and tap into the power of random selection. Personally, I like to go with my gut instinct, but if that fails, I have a foolproof method: the ABCD dance.The ABCD dance is a sacred ritual that involves closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, and letting your pen or pencil move in a mystical pattern across the answer choices. Once you've completed the dance, you simply select the option your writing utensil has graced with its presence. It may sound silly, but trust me, this method has worked wonders for me in the past.Of course, blind guessing isn't a surefire solution, and it's always better to have a solid grasp of the language and vocabulary. But when all else fails, it's nice to have a backup plan that doesn't involve breaking down in tears or resorting to desperate measures like bribery or blackmail.In all seriousness, though, the cloze test is a challenging aspect of the English exam for postgraduate admissions, and it requires a combination of skill, strategy, and a healthy dose of luck. While blind guessing may seem like a last resort, it's a valuable tool to have in your arsenal, especially when the pressure is on and the blanks seem insurmountable.So, my fellow test-takers, embrace the art of blind guessing with open arms. Channel your inner gambler, trust your instincts, and let the ABCD dance guide you through the treacherous waters of the cloze test. Who knows? With a little bit of luck and a whole lot of blind faith, you just might come out on the otherside with a passing score and a newfound appreciation for the mysteries of the English language.篇2The Painful Art of Blindly Filling Blanks for the GREOh man, the dread I feel every time I sit down to practice those torturous cloze passages for the GRE English exam. You know the ones I'm talking about - those monstrous reading passages riddled with an ungodly number of blanks that we're supposed to accurately fill in using just contextual clues and our admittedly finite vocabulary. It's like being thrown into the deep end of a pool filled with alphabet soup rather than water.The first few questions always start off so innocuously, lulling me into a false sense of confidence. "Oh yeah, I totally know this word! It's ___ (something super obvious like 'happy' or 'big')." But then, just a few questions later, it's like the test makers activate some kind of evil word jumbler that contorts basic English into incomprehensible gibberish.I'll be reading along, nodding my head like "Yeah, this makes sense so far..." And then WHAM! I'm blindsided by some monstrosity like: "Despite the ______ criticisms, the author's ______ premise remained ______." Wait, what?! My brain just completelyblue screened. I've got nothing. At that point, I usually just furiously circle ABCD a few times and mutter under my breath while spiraling into an existential crisis.The truly soul-crushing ones though are when you've correctly intuited the general vibe and meaning of the sentence, but you're stuck choosing between two annoyingly synonymous words that seemingly fit. "Was that blank asking for 'perplexing' or 'bewildering'? Oh god, I'm going to be kicking myself when I get this back!" I can't decide, so I just circle both and pray the gods of standardized testing will take pity on me.At a certain point, I stop even trying to really digest the passage and just start rapidly fire-hosing ABCD's onto the page with complete disregard. I call this my "precipitation strategy" because I'm essentially just blindly picking letters like rain drops and hoping enough of them turn into the right puddles to pass. Is it the most elegant or advisable approach? Of course not. But sometimes the fatigue and drudgery of it all leaves me no choice but to unleash a torrent of scantron marks and hope something sticks.Don't even get me started on the double blank questions where you have to pick ONE letter for each blank, but the answers are interdependent. Ugh, I'd rather drink alphabet soupthan deal with that fresh hell. It's like putting together a nauseating little word puzzle while being smothered by vocabulary. No thank you!At the end of my practice tests, I'm always an exhausted, babbling wreck mumbling "positive...concept...notion...entity?" under my breath while absentmindedly filling in circles. And the worst part is, no matter how miserable the blank filling experience is, I have to just keep revisiting that personal lexical haunt over and over again until test day.But I suppose that's the twisted nature of academic hazing rituals like the GRE. You've got to emotionally persevere through countless cycles of obfuscating gobbledygook if you want entry into that sacred ivory tower of higher education. Filling in those torturous cloze blanks isn't just an English test, it's a relentless gauntlet that hammers you into submission until you're able to push through with robotic exactitude.Well, keep bringing it on you sadistic test makers! This battle-hardened soldier will continue doggedly plugging away and festooning those passages with my blind ABCD pockmarks. I may emerge from each encounter battered and questioning my own sanity, but I'll never surrender! Mwahaha, suck on that cloze tests! Your silly little word games are no match for my fortitudeand increasingly unhinged determination! Ahahahahaaahhhhhh....篇3The Struggle of Cloze Test Guessing on the Graduate English Entrance ExamAs a student preparing for the Graduate English Entrance Exam, one section that has always filled me with an equal mix of dread and determination is the cloze test. This deceptively simple-looking section, where you have to choose the correct words to fill in the blanks of a passage, is a true test of your English language prowess and strategic thinking.I still vividly remember my first encounter with the cloze test during one of the many practice exams I took. The passage seemed straightforward enough, but as I started reading, the blanks began to appear with an alarming frequency. Each one felt like a tiny hurdle, taunting me with its multiple-choice options.At first, I naively thought I could rely solely on my vocabulary knowledge to sail through the cloze test. I would read the sentence, consider the options, and pick the word that seemedto fit best. However, it didn't take long for me to realize that this approach was akin to navigating a minefield blindfolded.The cloze test is a cunning beast, designed to test not just your lexical prowess but also your ability to comprehend the nuances of the English language. It's a delicate dance between understanding the context, grasping the tone, and anticipating the logical flow of the passage.As I trudged through more practice tests, I quickly learned that guessing on the cloze test was both an art and a science. It required a strategic approach, a willingness to think outside the box, and a healthy dose of educated guesswork.One of the first strategies I adopted was to read the entire passage carefully before attempting to fill in any blanks. This helped me grasp the overall context and tone, allowing me to make more informed guesses when faced with tricky options. It was like solving a puzzle, where each blank was a piece that had to fit seamlessly into the bigger picture.Next, I learned to pay close attention to the surrounding words and phrases. The cloze test is often designed to test your understanding of collocations, idioms, and idiomatic expressions.A word that might seem out of place on its own could suddenlymake perfect sense when considered within the context of the sentence.As I gained more experience, I also started to recognize patterns in the way the cloze test questions were structured. Some blanks were designed to test your knowledge of grammar rules, while others were more focused on vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. By identifying these patterns, I could tailor my guessing strategies accordingly.One particularly useful technique I developed was the process of elimination. When faced with a challenging blank and multiple plausible options, I would systematically eliminate the choices that definitely didn't fit, narrowing down my options until I was left with the most logical choice.Of course, even with all these strategies in place, there were times when I found myself utterly stumped. In those moments, I learned the value of educated guesswork. I would consider the tone and style of the passage, the difficulty level of the surrounding words, and even the length of the word itself as potential clues.It was a nerve-wracking experience, akin to walking a tightrope without a safety net. There were times when I would second-guess my choices, convinced that I had made acatastrophic mistake that would cost me dearly on the final score.Yet, through it all, I persevered. I spent countless hours practicing, analyzing my mistakes, and refining my guessing strategies. The cloze test became my personal Everest, a challenge that I was determined to conquer through sheer grit and determination.And as the day of the actual Graduate English Entrance Exam approached, I felt a strange sense of confidence wash over me. I knew that I had done everything in my power to prepare for the dreaded cloze test section. I had sharpened my guessing skills to a fine edge, and I was ready to face the challenge head-on.As I sat down in the examination hall, my heart pounding with anticipation, I couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie with the other students around me. We were all in this together, united in our quest to conquer the cloze test and secure our place in the graduate programs of our dreams.When the test booklet was placed in front of me, I took a deep breath and dove into the cloze test section. Each blank was a puzzle to be solved, a challenge to be met with equal parts strategy and intuition.Some blanks were easy, almost child's play, while others had me second-guessing myself with every option. But I persevered, drawing upon the guessing strategies I had honed over countless practice sessions.As the clock ticked down, I found myself in a race against time, my mind working furiously to decipher the clues and make the most educated guesses possible. It was a thrilling, adrenaline-fueled experience, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.When the proctor finally called time, I felt a sense of relief and accomplishment wash over me. I had given it my all, and no matter the outcome, I knew that I had fought the good fight against the dreaded cloze test.As I reflect on my experience with the Graduate English Entrance Exam, the cloze test section stands out as a true test of resilience, strategic thinking, and a willingness to embrace the art of educated guessing. It taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, adaptability, and the importance of thinking outside the box.While the cloze test may have been a source of anxiety and frustration at times, it also served as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the English language. Each blank was a tinywindow into the intricate web of grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions that make up this rich and diverse language.So, to all the students out there preparing for the Graduate English Entrance Exam, embrace the cloze test as a challenge to be conquered, not feared. Approach it with a strategic mindset, a willingness to think critically, and a healthy dose of educated guesswork. And above all, never lose sight of the fact that this is just one small hurdle on your path to achieving your academic dreams.The cloze test may be a formidable foe, but with the right preparation and mindset, you can emerge victorious, armed with the knowledge and skills that will serve you well in your future academic and professional endeavors.。

考研英语二真题及答案完形填空Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices given below and marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Man-made climate change, or global warming, has become a hot topic in recent years. It refers to long-term changes in the earth's temperature attributed mainly to the increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in 1 atmosphere, which trap more heat. There has been a heated debate over the causes and the effects of 2 change, and ways to address the issue.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical, and socio-economic information relevant to the understanding of climate change. 3 the IPCC has highlighted that there is strong evidence that human activities have caused the observed increase in greenhouse gases, the uncertainties surrounding climate change still persist.In the context of climate change 4 , the term "mitigation" refers to measures taken to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases in order to limit or prevent the extent of climate change. Examples of mitigation 5 adopting renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and improving energy efficiency in buildings and transportation.Mitigation 6 also include afforestation, which is the establishment of forests where there were none previously, as forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help reduce greenhouse gas levels.Adaptation, on the other hand, refers to the adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate change. This is 7 important for vulnerable communities and ecosystems that are exposed to the impacts of climate change. Examples of adaptation measures 8 the construction of sea walls to protect coastal areas from rising sea levels, developing drought-resistant crops to combat water scarcity, and implementing early warning systems for extreme weather events.Addressing climate change requires concerted efforts from all countries around the world, as it is a global issue that 9 no boundaries. The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), aims to strengthen the global response to climate change and limit the global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.In conclusion, man-made climate change is a pressing issue that requires urgent action. Both mitigation and adaptation measures will be necessary to address the causes and impacts of climate change.

不让人知道的秘密英语作文

不让人知道的秘密英语作文Title: Keeping Secrets: The Art of Concealing Truths。

In the realm of human interaction, secrets often play a significant role, shrouding aspects of our lives in mystery and intrigue. Whether out of necessity, discretion, or personal choice, the act of concealing information can be both a burden and a privilege. In this essay, we delve into the intricacies of keeping secrets and explore the nuances of secrecy in various contexts.To begin with, secrets serve as a mechanism for maintaining privacy and safeguarding sensitive information. Individuals may withhold certain details about their personal lives to protect themselves or others from potential harm or judgment. This could involve concealing past mistakes, unconventional preferences, or private struggles that they deem too delicate to share openly. By keeping such secrets, individuals exercise control over their narrative and preserve a sense of autonomy in theirrelationships and social interactions.Furthermore, secrets can also be a source of power and leverage in interpersonal dynamics. In professional settings, for instance, employees may possess confidential knowledge or insights that give them a competitive edge or bargaining leverage over their peers or rivals. Similarly, in politics and diplomacy, governments may engage in covert operations or withhold classified information to manipulate outcomes or maintain strategic advantage on the global stage. In these contexts, the ability to keep secrets is not only valued but often essential for achieving desired outcomes and preserving national interests.However, the act of keeping secrets is not without its ethical considerations and moral dilemmas. While some secrets may be innocuous or benign, others can have far-reaching consequences, causing harm or injustice if revealed or kept hidden. For instance, concealing evidence of wrongdoing or withholding information that could prevent harm to others may betray ethical principles and compromise the integrity of individuals or institutions involved.Moreover, the burden of secrecy can weigh heavily on those entrusted with confidential information, leading tofeelings of guilt, anxiety, or isolation as they navigate the complexities of truth and deception.In relationships, the dynamics of secrecy can profoundly impact trust and intimacy between partners, friends, or family members. While some level of privacy is essential for maintaining autonomy and individuality within relationships, excessive secrecy or deception can erode trust and breed suspicion. Secrets kept from loved ones, whether out of fear, shame, or a desire to protect them, can create barriers to open communication and hinder genuine connection. Ultimately, the choice to disclose or withhold information in relationships requires careful consideration of the potential consequences and the underlying motivations driving secrecy.Moreover, the digital age has transformed the landscape of secrecy, presenting new challenges and opportunities for concealing information. With the proliferation of social media, online communication platforms, and data encryptiontechnologies, individuals have greater means to protecttheir privacy and control the dissemination of personal information. However, this also raises concerns about the erosion of privacy rights and the potential for abuse of power by corporations and governments seeking to exploit personal data for profit or surveillance purposes.In conclusion, the art of keeping secrets is a multifaceted phenomenon shaped by individual values,societal norms, and the complexities of human relationships. While secrecy can serve as a means of protection, empowerment, or privacy, it also carries ethical responsibilities and moral implications that warrantcareful consideration. As we navigate the intricacies of truth and deception in our lives, it is essential to strike a balance between transparency and discretion, recognizing the power and limitations of secrecy in shaping ourpersonal and collective experiences.。

Indeed, predictions of such a society have been ___2___ for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment “would soon revolutionize th e very ___3___ of money itself,” only to ___4___ itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so ___5___ in coming?Although e-money might be more convenient and may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work __6___ the disappearance of the paper system.

The ___18___ of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a whole new field of computer science has developed to ___19___ security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic ___20___ that contains a large amount of personal data on buying habits.
