押全国卷（乙卷）第41—60题
完形填空：夹叙夹议文、说明文

从近几年的高考完形填空题来看，夹叙夹议类文章往往在平淡的叙述中蕴含着深刻的人生哲理。鉴于这一点，考生不仅要理解文章的字面意思，更重要的是要挖掘文章的内涵。只有这样才能透彻理解文章，做好完形填空。
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 先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。

夹叙夹议文、说明文解题技巧
1．研读首句，了解文章大意
首句通常是文章的关键句、引题句或主题句。通过首句一般可以初步判断文章的主旨，或中心议题以及作者的情感态度或思想观点。
2．分析结构，明确作者观点
做题时考生需借助文章结构，仔细体会“叙”与“议”的关系，明确作者观点，把握文章脉
3．叙议结合，抓住议论内涵
夹叙夹议文中，“叙”和“议”是一个有机整体，二者不可分割。特别是要抓住议论部分的内涵，因为这是文章最重要的部分，记叙完全是为议论服务的。
4．统筹兼顾，确定正确答案
主旨和语境互为条件，互为提示。考生做题时，思维一定要灵活，随着“叙”和“议”的转换，及时调整思维方式，合理确定正确答案。

注重语篇层次题和易错题、助力完形填空赢高分
一、巧解语篇层次题
语篇层次是最高的考点层次，也是学生拉分题，此类试题需要阅读全篇， 站在整个语篇的角度才能选出正确的答案。
技法1 利用首尾呼应关系解题
[典例]　[2021·浙江卷节选]
[2]I was sent to the Coronado National Forest for my first 8-day __42____. We had to 43.carry everything we needed and walk three miles to where we worked. It may not seem like a 44.long way but in 35 ℃ heat and with a heavy pack，my legs were on fire.
……
[6]53.Needless to say, I suffered a lot. But I know whatever I have to face in my life I was there and I 54.survived. I think I am much 55.stronger for having taken part in the project.
42．A.tour B．project
C．campaign D．course
解题依据：完形填空文章或段落存在首尾呼应的关系，通过结合首段(或首句)和尾段(或尾句)信息，考生可以更好地解答部分题目。
分析：本题可以利用首尾呼应解题。根据文章末尾的“the project”可知，本篇文章讲述地是作者某次项目的经历，结合文末信息回到开头题目，可知作者被派去Coronado National Forest是为了一个8天的“项目”。
自主解答：________
名师点津：记叙类的完形填空文章往往通过讲述一个故事来传达中心思想或表达立意，作者多采用首尾呼应的文章写法，通过文章结尾处升华主题。因此，考生应学会首尾兼顾，结合文章开头、结尾信息解答题目。
技法2 利用文章发展脉络解题
[典例]　[2021·全国卷乙]
[1]Simply saying thank you doesn't seem enough in certain situations. I was considering this while working as a 41.nurse just a few weeks ago. And it came to me then how much easier it would be if we had a range of words that express different 42.grades of gratitude (感谢).
[2]My thoughts were soon __43__. We had a woman patient who was 44.recovering from a knee replacement operation. One afternoon, while 45.attempting to get into bed she collapsed (倒下) from what was 46.eventually discovered to be a heart attack. The collapse was disastrous, 47.requiring the emergency medical team and good teamwork. But she recovered, though 48.slowly,__and was ready for discharge (出院) after four weeks.
43．A.brushed aside
B．put to the test
C．brought under discussion
D．taken into account
解题依据：叙事型完形填空文章在行文结构上往往包括开端——故事发展——高潮——结局等不同情节，考生应梳理文章发展脉络，厘清行文结构。
分析：本题可以利用文章发展脉络解题。文章首段提出了一个想法：应有不同的词语表达不同程度的感谢，根据下文，作者叙述了一个患者表达感谢的故事。据此推断，作者在首段提出的想法很快经受了检验。be brushed aside“被漠视”；be put to the test“使受考验，使受检验”；be taken into account“被考虑进去”。
自主解答：________
名师点津：
解题策略
遵循发展脉络，合理思考推理，及时调整思路
上下求索，捕捉关键信息
回头看——关注是否与前文呼应，不留遗憾
关键点——需随机应变，不要一意孤行，更不可胡思乱想
二、规避5大易错点智取完形拉分题
高考担负着区分考生、选拔人才的功能，因此每篇完形填空中总有2～3道较难题目成为考生取得优异成绩的“拦路虎”。导致这些题目失分的原因主要有以下几点：
①解题信息比较隐蔽；
②干扰项迷惑性较强；
③情感态度较难把握；
④惯性思维所致。
针对这些题目，考生除了需要具备扎实的语言功底外，还应谨慎小心应对。本讲总结了解答完形填空的五大易错点，旨在让考生遇到此类题目时不要急于求成，要三思而后判。
易错点1 因缺乏全篇关联思维而错选
语篇层次题的解题信息不局限于某一句或某一句群，而是分散在某一段或几段甚至全篇，这就要求考生理解整篇文章，抓住全文的脉络、作者的思想、意图或主人公的心理，然后进行准确的推理、判断，从而做出正确的选择。对于此类题目，一定要坚持这样一个原则——不急于解答，读完全文后综合考虑再做判定。
[典例]　[2021·新高考Ⅰ卷]My life as a tax-paying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked in a baking factory.
My best friend Betsy's father was a manager at Hough Bakeries, which, at Easter time, 41.made little bunny (兔子) cakes for all its 42.stores throughout Cleveland. It happened that the plant downtown needed eight kids for __43__ help during our spring break, for which I had no 44.plans beyond listening to my favorite records.
43．A.generous B．financial
C．technical D．temporary
分析：本题是典型的语篇层次题，只看题目所在的句子我们是无法确定答案的，此类题目需要综合全篇来找线索。根据上文中的“for three whole days”和下文中的“during our spring break”可知，这里说的是春假期间，市中心的工厂需要临时找八个孩子来帮忙。generous“慷慨的，大方的”；financial“财务的，金融的”；technical“技术的，专业的”；temporary“临时的，暂时的”。
自主解答：________
易错点2 因不能正确区分形近(义近)词而错选
完形填空题选项中经常会出现一些形近词或义近词让考生辨析，因为词形相近或意义相近，无形中增加了难度，如果考生对这些词掌握得不好或不着眼于语篇的意义便很容易选错。
[典例]　[2021·全国甲卷]“I have 55.matured and I admit responsibility for my 56.actions，” he said in the letter. “I come to you, 57 ,to apologize for the damage I had 58.indirectly caused and to ask you to 59.reconsider my lifetime ban from the hotel.”
57．A.hands in pockets B．nose in the air
C．hat in hand D．feet on the ground
分析：四个备选项在形式上非常相似，基本都是名词＋介词＋名词的词组，部分考生很容易因混淆而失分。本题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。根据空后“... apologize for the damage”可推测作者的态度是谦卑的，所以选hat in hand 恭敬地(乞求或请求)。其他选项不符合语境：hands in pockets双手插兜；nose in the air目中无人；feet on the ground脚踏实地。考生如果完全掌握了这四个词组，很容易选出正确选项。
自主解答：________
易错点3 因词汇理解障碍而错选
在完形填空题的设题上，命题者往往还将一些考生平常容易忽视的词汇设置成选项，从而造成考生错选。对于这些词汇，考生在平时必须高度重视，背熟记熟。
[典例]　[2021·天津卷]“It's a really great 33.experience for kids，” said a neighbor in an interview with the local newspaper. “Pruitt is certainly providing a 34.service,__but it's not just the bikes. It's the relationships in the community. It's the __35__ he can make on people.”
35．A.compromise B．impression
C．impact D．progress
分析：本题考查语境推断。根据全文内容可知，此处表示Pruitt的行为对人们产生的“影响”。本题的选择难度在于A选项“compromise 妥协，和解”对于同学们而言是一个相对陌生的词汇，一些考生可能因为词汇积累不够，又不能有效地利用上下文中的提示而失分。
自主解答：________
易错点4 因不明一词多义或熟词生义而错选
在最近几年的高考完形填空中，对于一词多义或熟词生义的考查屡见不鲜，这往往也是考生容易忽视的地方。很多考生由于不懂这些熟词的“新义”而出现思维堵塞，造成了不应有的失分。下面我们选取具有代表性的试题加以分析，以帮助考生熟悉其命题特点，从而跳出命题人设置的词汇“陷阱”。
[典例1]　[2021·新高考Ⅰ卷]Our __48__ in the factory were simple：Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing (糖霜) ears. Apply icing eyes and nose.49.Remove bunny from the belt.
48．A.joys B．ideas
C．roles D．choices
分析：根据下文中的“Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing(糖霜)ears...from the belt”可知，这里介绍的是作者他们在工厂的具体工作或职责。role除了表示“角色”外，还可以表示“职责，作用”。
自主解答：________
[典例2]　[2018·浙江高考]One day I 46.met a former classmate of mine who was 47.making a lot of money running a sideline (副业).Since his regular job was 48.boring,__I asked him why he just didn't do his sideline full-time. He said without the job, he would __49__ have too much time and would just do what I did back in 50.college. He said that if he 51.quit the job, he would lose his 52.drive to work and succeed.
49．A.luckily B．hardly
C．hopefully D．simply
分析：根据句意可知，他说如果没有那份工作，他确实会有很多时间。simply“确实，简直”。此处simply这个词属于熟词生义，我们比较熟悉它的义项是“简单地，简朴地”。由此可知正确选项。
自主解答：________
易错点5 因惯性思维而错选
在英语学习中，由于种种原因，如考生的母语、知识面、思维习惯等都有可能令考生产生一些思维定式，即不善于思考，考虑问题不全面，导致误解一些题目，从而抑制思维能力的发展。完形填空解题中因惯性思维而失分常有以下两种情况：
(1)学习单词时受到的思维定式影响
有些考生学习英语单词过于简单化，只记忆中文意思，而不深刻理解实际用法和英汉用法之间的细微差异。例如：表示“成功做某事”，不可以用“succeed to do sth.”来表达。
(2)学习词组或习惯用语时受到的思维定式影响
例如：学习了wait for这个词组以后，有的考生在做题过程中只要碰到wait，后面要接介词时就毫不犹豫地选择for。但在“He stopped his car to wait at the red light.”中就不用for。
[典例]　[2021·天津卷]For Pruitt, a keen bicyclist, the first thing to do was __19__ his stolen bike. But when he went bike shopping, he found few available, which got him thinking: What if the 20.lack of bikes was COVID-19 related，and what if the person who'd taken his bike really needed 21.transportation to get to work?
19．A.ride B．lock
C．repair D．replace
分析：考查语境推断。Pruitt作为热衷骑自行车的人，自行车被偷，他首先要做的应该是换一辆自行车，“replace”符合语境。但考生受思维定式影响，可能看到后文的“bike”就下意识地以为选择ride a bike这个固定搭配，从而误选A项。

Passage 1（2021 •全乙国卷•第41—60题）
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过作者做护士期间遇到的一个女病人为例，表达了我们应该对别人的付出表示真诚的感谢，即使他们只是做了自己分内的事。

Passage 2（2018 •北京卷•第41—60题）
The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source（来源）of temptation（诱惑）. But the 61 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 62 more remarkable.
After spotting a 63 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 64 to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he 65 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver, only to 66 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 67 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 68 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 69 .
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 70 .
Mr. Anderson said：＂I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 71 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and
72 he didn’t take the wallet for himself；he thought about others 73 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 74 guys out there.＂
Mr. Smith’s act 75 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 76 about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 77 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. ＂I think the faith that everyone has shown 78 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job 79 and all sorts,＂ Mr. Anderson commented.
For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 80 . The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.

Passage 3（2020 •全国Ⅰ卷•第41—60题）
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者以现实中的门，引申出生活中的“门”，从而探讨了一种教育理念。作者认为家长们不要害怕告诉孩子们真相，这样，孩子们才可以在生活的道路上，不再被各种“进退两难”所困扰，从而抓住机遇，勇往直前。
Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and I have kept telling them that our sliding glass door is just a window. The 81 is obvious. If we 82 it is a door, they’ll want to go outside 83 . It will drive us crazy. The kids apparently know the 84 . But our insisting it’s 85 a window has kept them from 86 millions of requests to open the door.
I hate lying to the kids. One day they’ll 87 and discover that everything they’ve always known about windows is a 88 .
I wonder if 89 should always tell the truth no matter the 90 . I have a very strong 91 that the lie we’re telling is doing 92 damage to our children. Windows and doors have 93 metaphorical(比喻) meanings. I’m telling them they can’t open what they absolutely know is a door. What if later in 94 they come to a metaphorical door, like an opportunity(机会) of some sort, and 95 opening the door and taking the opportunity, they just 96 it and wonder, ＂What if it isn’t a door?＂ That is, ＂What if it isn’t a 97 opportunity?＂
Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear. But the 98 is that I shouldn’t lie to my kids. I should just 99 repeatedly having to say, ＂No. We can’t go outside now.＂ Then when they come to other doors in life, whether they are real or metopherical, they won’t 100 to open them and walk through.

Passage 4（2019 •天津卷•第41—60题）
I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some 101 station.
The 102 moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the 103 of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.
Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband 104 it while I was on the phone in the dining room. “Does Jennifer live here?” I heard a lady say. In my husband’s hand was my wallet, with not a penny 105 . She left before I could 106 make it to the door to offer my thanks.
After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who 107 the lady as Erin Smith. Without 108 , I called to thank her. She said she 109 my wallet on a bus seat. She 110 that going to a stranger’s house was a 111 move, but she decided to take the chance. “If I were in that 112 , I would want someone to try to find me,” she said.
This one stranger responded beautifully to my small 113 , but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right after Erin 114 my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license to an online forum(论坛), trying to see 115 anyone knew me. No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face. I’ve never 116 words with those moms beyond small talk, but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the people I 117 tend to act.
118 , I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone 119 what almost anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely 120 .

Passage 5（2020 • 全国Ⅲ卷•第41—60题）
As s businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom you feel affection, 121 can also drive you mad. They’ll come rushing in, 122 their handbag’s been stolen. They’ll 123 that they left it in the changing room, create havoe (混乱) and then 124 it had been in their car all the time. They’ll have out half the 125 in the shop, and want the only style you don’t have left in a 126 colour. I do know how upset the shop staff can get, but I try to persuade them to keep 127 .
I remember the first really 128 customer we had at Covent Garden. She was 129 absolutely everything, nothing was right and I was rather 130 that she became a “regular”. After a while, she 131 for the way she behaved at the beginning. She had split up with her husband the week before, was living in a flat 132 , and since she’d found it too much to cope with (应对), she’d taken it out on 133 people.
That taught me a valuable 134 and I pass it on to the people who 135 in the market. Don’t take it 136 . If a customer is rude or difficult, just think “Maybe she’s had a row with her husband. Maybe her child’s not 137 .” Always water it down and don’t let your ego (自我) get 138 . If you do, you won’t be able to 139 it and the whole thing develops into an unpleasant scene and that 140 everyone’s day.
121．A．shopkeepers B．customers C．salespersons D．receptionists

When he returned for his __7__ in the evening, he just found that his lock had been cut and that the bike was __8__ .
The London worker thought he'd never __9__ his bike again. However, as he went to ask at the station about any potential __10__ that had filmed the robbery, a rail worker, Abdul Muneeb, rushed over to him and asked him to unlock the __11__ bike lock to prove he was the __12__ . Farmer then explained how Muneeb said “I have your bike” with a __13__ he would never forget.
With the lock undone, Muneeb told Farmer how he'd __14__ someone cutting the bike lock earlier on during his shift. He stopped the man from __15__ the bike and then wheeled it to a __16__ place. Muneeb __17__ four hours after his shift had ended so he could see the bike __18__ to its rightful owner.
As Farmer quite __19__ posted, “The world needs more Abduls, who is a legend (传奇人物) of a man and a __20__ to his employer.”

Expect the unexpected
A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” The following day, as I tried to complete my day's work, I happened to __1__ a bumblebee (大黄蜂) on the skylight (天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought __2__ the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still __3__.
All that had changed was that the living room was a __4__ and that I was dizzy from __5__ into the sunlight. I did not __6__ to waste an hour on a tiny insect, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.
It is not only time that we tend to __7__—we don't take account of unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work __8__， but we seldom think of all the __9__ things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day of a week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly __10__ to feel challenged—even at a task you thought was simple __11__ that is part of life.
If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more __12__. In __13__ school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule, __14__ for myself. Yet I was __15__ each time. After accepting that school wouldn't be easy, I found myself __16__ a more positive attitude and __17__ results.
Of course, there should be preparations made to take account of __18__ or time. Doing so can only help you __19__ your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up (太过自责) when something stands in our __20__. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.

Many evolution coaches seem to agree that great things happen the minute we step outside of our comfort zone. For me, one of the most important things we should always remember is that growth and __1__ can't coexist.
The personal development expert Napoleon Hill once said, “Whatever the mind can believe, it can achieve __2__ how many times you may have __3__ in the past or how great your aims and hopes may be. “This statement is __4__ because it reminds us that we're the only ones who can be __5__ for how far we'll go. To reach any __6__， we're usually required to __7__ the way we do things.
However, stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step toward __8__ real changes. But persistence (坚持) and continuing to move forward are __9__ important, as it's extremely easy to slide back into old __10__ without realizing it.
For long, I wanted to live in Argentina, so halfway through my Bachelor's degree, I bought a one­way ticket there. While I was there, I was able to __11__ the last two years of my degree online before flying home for graduation. I still live in Argentina now, and I can proudly say that taking the __12__ steps to make it a __13__ was one of the most important things I ever did. Certainly, I'm not suggesting we should all buy one­way tickets to foreign countries and just see what __14__ . But it's important for us to __15__ what we want and try to bring our __16__ to life.
Living in a comfort zone can trick us into __17__ we have enough time, but years can fly by without us having accomplished what we really wanted to. We won't __18__ have tomorrow to do what we could have done today. So, accept the discomfort and allow it to __19__ you to try new things. You never know what you could be missing out on by remaining __20__.

Success lies behind a locked door, but not everyone has the right key.
Many years ago, I met an old friend of mine, who had __1__ himself to acting, but had never been quite __2__ . In his middle age, he seemed to be defeated and sad. I thought of his perseverance (毅力). Certainly, our __3__ doesn't look kindly upon quitting. Failure is perfectly __4__ as long as it eventually results in success. We often chant “Winners never __5__ ” and “If you do not succeed at first, try again”. We jump at stories of perseverance, of the author who submitted stories for years before her __6__ were published, or of the athlete who has trained since childhood to win gold medals at the Olympics.
Perseverance __7__ when it's rewarded with success, but it doesn't reward every person. For every J．K. Rowling, there are thousands of ambitious writers who will __8__ get anything published. For every Olympic athlete, there are countless others who __9__ every day of their lives but never made it. We all agree that doing the same thing and __10__ a different result is unwise. So, why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good __11__ ?
We often consider quitting in the face of failure to be __12__. We believe that perseverance is the key to success. Perseverance is only one part of success. You __13__ talent or skill, as well as enthusiasm and drive. Luck and timing are also key to any great success. Our society believes that anything is possible __14__ you believe, but not everyone can make it. Quitting when you're not ahead is sometimes a __15__ thing to do.
__16__， if you enjoy a pursuit, regardless of its outcome, you should __17__. If you knew your story would never be published, would you want to write? If you could never be a champion swimmer, would you still practice? Sometimes, it's wise to put your __18__ into something else. Failure is not always the __19__ to success. Sometimes, it is the door to something __20__.,

[2022·南昌市高三摸底测试卷] When we feel failure, we learn to figure it out. In the process, we learn, we __1__ , and we become more understanding. But without that __2__ failure, this beautiful chain reaction doesn't even have a chance to begin.
The other day, I was __3__ six kids at my house, and while my oldest son was playing with the other kids, he started acting __4__ and aggressively. __5__ , I tried to stop it. I corrected him and separated him from the __6__. I even punished him. __7__ was working, until __8__ , one of the other kids said, “We don't want to __9__ you anymore.” And the rest agreed.
My son kept trying to __10__ the group. He walked to the other side of the circle to see if another __11__ would let him in. He said please. He went to his room to find some toys to __12__ everyone. But it was too __13__ . He was refused. My first instinct (直觉) was to ask the other kids to __14__ him. But then, I realized that if I did that, I'd be__15__ my son the greatest lesson that the painful exclusion (排斥) resulted from his bad behavior.
