完形填空之词语辨析

【技能讲解】近几年高考完形填空选项的四个选项一般形式完全相同，如都是动词原形、都是副词、都是名词复数等，这就要求考生能区分四个选项的单词在意义上和用法上的不同，选出正确答案。命题者深知学生在英语学习中的弱点，往往会从母语的角度设置干扰项来考察学生的英语思维、语言的基本用法，因此，考生一定要注意英汉两种语言的差异，不能简单的互译。

典例剖析

Several years ago I __2__ a letter from seventeen­year­old Kerry, who described herself as a world­class fault­finder, almost always __3__ by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and __4__ was ever good enough. She was highly self­critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really __5__ person.

Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her __6__.

1．A.lonely B．great

C．quiet D．uneasy

[答案] B 句意：但是，当你不总是挑剔的话，生活可以很美好。lonely意为“孤独的”；great意为“极好的”；quiet意为“安静的”；uneasy意为“心神不安的”。故答案选B。

2．A.received B．answered

C．expected D．rejected

[答案] A 句意：几年前，我收到了一封来自17岁的Kerry的信，在信中她将自己描述成了一个世界一流的吹毛求疵的人，几乎总是因为各种事情而烦恼。

receive意为“收到”；answer意为“回答”；expect意为“期望”；reject意为“拒绝”。根据语境可知，作者是收到了一封信。故答案选A。

3．A.threatened B．interrupted

C．bothered D．spoiled

[答案] C threaten意为“威胁”；interrupt意为“打断”；bother意为“使……恼怒，烦恼”；spoil意为“宠坏”。根据下文“People were always doing things that a nnoyed her”及常识可推知，爱吹毛求疵的人容易烦恼。故答案选C。

4．A.anything B．everything

C．something D．nothing

[答案] D 句意：人们总是做些让她恼怒的事情，她觉得一切事情都不够好。anything意为“任何事情”；everything意为“一切事情”；something意为“某件事情”；nothing意为“没有事情”。上文提到Kerry觉得人们总是做些让她生气的事情；由此可推知，此处指没有事情足够好，表示否定意义。故答案选D。

5．A.caring B．boring

C．interesting D．surprising

[答案] B 句意：她变成了一个真正令他人厌烦的人。caring意为“有同情心的，感到关心的”；boring意为“令人厌烦的”；interesting意为“有趣的”；surprising意为“令人惊讶的”。根据语境并结合常识可知，经常挑别人毛病的人会让人感到厌烦。故答案选B。

6．A.attitude B．plan

C．measure D．explanation

[答案] A 句意：不幸的是，一场可怕的事故才改变了她的态度。attitude 意为“态度”；plan意为“计划”；measure意为“措施”；explanation意为“解释”。根据本段最后两句可知，Kerry改变了自己的处世态度。故答案选A。
