表1:2017~2019年全国卷完形填空题型比较
表2:2017~2019年全国卷完形填空主题比较
表3:2017~2019年全国卷完形填空考点比较
分析近3年的全国卷高考试题,我们不难发现,完形填空的文章体裁主要是记叙文。文章内容可读性较强。题型分为句子层面、句组层面、语篇层面,多以句子层面题和句组层面题为主,语篇层面题为辅,较难的语篇层面题有3道左右。这就要求考生在做完形填空题时,心中始终有这三个层面,认真甄别每道题是属于哪种层面,然后再确定用哪种方法来解题。
全国卷完形填空语篇基本控制在250词左右,但其中长难句增多,加大了完形填空的难度。记叙文的第一句通常把短文中故事发生的时间、地点、人物和事件等交代清楚,这是考生在解题时理解并掌握全文大意的基础。2019年全国Ⅲ卷再次出现首句设空的情况(The small town of Rjukan in Norway is situated between several mountains and does not get direct sunlight from late September to mid-March—　41　 six months out of the year.)。这就给考生理解文章带来了麻烦,需要他们认真分析上下文。空格在短文中均衡分布,绝大多数空格之间的距离大致相当。
　 完形填空语篇逻辑严密,故事情节曲折但完整。文章使用明显的过渡词语来连接语篇,体现了“突出语篇”的命题风格与考查要求。完形填空考查名词、动词、形容词、副词等,2019年全国Ⅰ、Ⅲ卷没有考查虚词。词源方面,全国Ⅰ、Ⅲ卷主要考查初中词汇和高中必修词汇,全国Ⅰ、Ⅱ卷明显突出选修词汇,2019年全国Ⅲ卷还出现超纲词汇sun-starved。另外,高考对熟词生义的考查也是越来越重视,2019年全国Ⅰ卷中的face(基本义:脸;拓展义:外观)就是典型的例子。
Passage 1 [2019·全国Ⅰ]Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. They 　41　 with them lots of waste. The 　42　 might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers (冰川) are disappearing, changing the 　43　 of Kilimanjaro.  Hearing these stories, I'm 　44　 about the place—other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences. 
However, I soon 　45　 that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of 　46　 among tons of rubbish. I find a 　47　 mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are 　48　 but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be 　49　. The best of a Kilimanjaro 　50　, in my opinion, isn't reaching the top. Mountains are 　51　 as spiritual places by many cultures. This 　52　 is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as 　53　 go through five ecosystems (生态系统)
in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3,000 meters, 　54　 lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather 　55　—low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I 　56　 twelve shades of green from where I stand.Above 4,000 meters is the highland 　57　: gravel(砾石), stones and rocks. 　58　 you climb into an arctic-like zone with 　59　 snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear. 
Does Kilimanjaro 　60　 its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining the atmosphere of peace?I found the opposite to be true.

攻略一　重视首句,把握开篇　　完形填空一般无标题,全文信息从首句开始。细读首句,可断定文章体裁,预测全文大意。突破首句,顺藤摸瓜,逐步弄清每个空格与上下文的关系,然后利用已知的信息顺利理解全文,以确定需要填入的内容。攻略二　速读全文,掌握大意　　速读全文要一气呵成,尽管有空格、生词或不明白的地方,仍要快速读下去。速读时要注意找出关键词、中心词,画出某些表示人物和情节的词,以便形成思路。要注意不要在未掌握大意的
基础上,边阅读边做题,这样速度慢、准确率低。攻略三　瞻前顾后,灵活答题　　在一篇完形填空中,有时仅凭一句话很难确定正确的答案。如果继续读下去,并且兼顾上下文,就能发现与问题有关的信息词或信息句子出现,这些词或句子往往直接或间接地提示出正确答案。完形填空要求考生不仅要有广博的语言知识,还要学会利用生活经历、常识或背景知识进行综合判断。攻略四　复核全文,调整答案　　一篇完形填空做好后,可以再通读一遍进行核查,核查时要
注意以下三点:1.上下文的一致性:时态、语态的一致;代词、名词、单复数的一致。2.从语法、习惯用法及固定搭配,甚至语感入手,看是否符合上下文的逻辑。3.段与段、句与句之间的衔接是否连贯。 这次复核很重要,往往能纠正一两处甚至多处错误,同时对极难确定的答案,也要凭语感选一个,决不可不选。但是这一步往往被大多数考生忽视,造成不必要的失分。

微专题 01 完形填空之宏观把握架构
做完形填空题,最大的禁忌就是急于求成、贸然答题,不置于语篇大环境下而凭主观臆断,造成“只见树木,不见森林”的片面性错误。正确的做法:先通读全文和选项,对文意和题目有个大致了解,弄清楚主旨大意及思考方向后,再进行第二遍精读和答题。如何读文,如何做题,怎样才能高效,本讲将给予悉心宏观指导。

考生熟知各种文体特点,有利于从整体上把握文章的篇章逻辑和组织方式,为更好地理解文章大意打下良好的基础。为便于考生加深理解,在此,我们结合完形填空选文的具体特点再略述一二。(一)常考文体——记叙文 完形填空的文章体裁以记叙文为主,从叙事方式来看,故事内容基本都遵循“起—承—转—合”的常见记叙文写作思路。
从正负态度来解释,则可分为两种模式:一种为“负—正”,即故事开始就是“坏事”,后来转变为“好事”；另一种是“正—负—正”,即文章开始平静祥和,中间经历挫折、困难,最终迎来光明美好的结局。两种模式的共同点在于,无论故事如何开篇,过程都会经历曲折,结尾必然收获美好、充满希望。 总之,完形填空的选材基本都是积极向上、引人向善的文章。了解这点有助于考生理解文章内容、把握主人公情感走向,进而帮助考生解题。
(二)常考文体——夹叙夹议文 夹叙夹议类的文章通常采用叙议结合的写作方法,文章先进行叙述,然后在段落的结尾或文章的末尾展开议论,说明故事所包含的哲理或总结出作者的观点。阅读此类文章时,考生要重点关注议论的部分,从而总结出文章的主旨。(三)时考文体——说明文 说明文是以说明为主要表达方式,用来说明事物、阐明事理的一种文体。它通过揭示概念来说明事物的特征、本质及其规律性,给人准确的科学知识或传递某种思想。其基本模式:观点—说明—总结。
[2018·全国Ⅰ]During my second year at the city college,I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits.I 　41　 the idea of taking the class because,after all,who doesn't want to　42　a few dollars?More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And,even if I weren't　43　enough about free credits,news about our　44　was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster,which　45　I would be learning from one of the game's 　46　.I could hardly wait to　47　him. 
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this　48　was no game for him;he meant business. In his introduction, he made it　49　that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to　50　the class,among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to　51　what we would learn in class to our future professions and,　52　,to our lives. I managed to get an A in that　53　and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the　54　. 
Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he　55　me:“The absolute most important　56　that you learn when you play chess is how to make good　57　.On every single move you have to　58　a situation,process what your opponent(对手)is doing and　59　the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my　60　as a journalist.

一、依据文体特征读文 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在大学期间参加了名叫“思维象棋”的“免费”课程,经过自己的努力学习,从导师那里学到了很多受益终身的技能,从而对人生有了感悟。主题在最后一段,即如何正确地做决定。二、“题文齐读法”例解 第一段:仔细阅读文章首句可知,此处讲述了作者在大二期间学习名叫“思维象棋”的“免费”课程。读到第41空和第42
空时,马上浏览一下选项,再结合第41空前的a “free” course以及这两个空后的宾语the idea of taking the class和a few dollars,可预判第41题A项(jumped at)、第42题C项(save)正确,即“欣然接受”课程和“省钱”。 读到第43空时,浏览选项发现均为形容词,在句中作表语,说明主语的心情,结合空后的free credits以及上文中的I'd always wanted to learn chess可知,作者的心情应该是“兴奋的(excited)”,故预判B项正确。 接着读第44空,浏览选项后,我们不能做出预判,需要继续读下文。读到下一句中的an international grandmaster时,我
们不难对第44题做出预判,即C项(instructor)正确。 读到第45空和第46空时,结合选项和上文中的关键词an international grandmaster可知,这两个空所在的句子是对关键词的进一步补充说明,故可预判第45题D项(meant)、第46题C项(best)正确。 读到第47空时,浏览选项,结合上文信息以及关键词could hardly wait很容易预判B项(meet)正确,即“我迫不及待地想见到导师”。 第二段:读到第48空时,快速浏览选项,结合空前的关键信息returning to teach可知,这是一份工作,即可预判D项(job)正确。
读到第49空时,浏览选项我们可以发现它们均为形容词,并结合第49空的句式结构可知,此处应作宾语补足语,对后面的宾语从句作补充说明,再根据常识,可预判D项(clear)正确。 下一句涉及第50、51、52三道题,我们需要一口气读完这句话了解句意,由句意可知,前半句是“目的”,后半句是老师的“要求”,浏览选项,结合句意,可预判第50题B项(pass)正确,即“为了通过这门课”。对于后半句中的第51题,选项都是动词,再结合后面的介词to,以及句中的关键信息write a paper、 what we would learn in class、 future professions、 our lives可预判
第51题D项(apply)、第52题A项(eventually)正确,即“把我们在课堂上所学的东西运用到未来的职业中,并最终运用到我们的生活中”。 读到本段最后一句话时,浏览选项和上下文语境发现无法对第53空做出预判,可先跳过。(此题需要读完全篇,根据第1段中的offering a “free” course中的关键词course判断C项正确。) 读到第54空时,联系空前的learned life lessons that have served me well可知“我从学习国际象棋中学到了一些对我课堂之外的生活有用的知识”,故可预判B项(classroom)正确。
第三段:读到本段时,因为有了前面的信息,我们采用“题文齐读法”就更有优势了。本段第1句说到“学习国际象棋10年后的今天,我仍旧在使用老师教给我的东西”,故可预判第55题的正确答案为A项(taught)。 读完第56、57空后,浏览选项,结合句中的you learn when you play chess is how to make good可预判第56题C项(skill)、第57题B项(decisions)正确。 读完第58空和第59空所在的句子,浏览选项我们可以发现这两个空都需填动词,我们再结合空后的宾语a situation、 the
best move不难做出预判,第58题A项(analyze)、第59题C项(evaluate)正确,即“分析形势”“评估出最好的一步”。 读完最后一句话,根据关键词as a journalist,并浏览选项,可预判第60题A项(role)正确,即“这些话在我成为一名记者后仍然是正确的”。
[2018·天津]No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own 　1　.  I learned this lesson from a(n) 　2　 many years ago. I took the head 　3　job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.  It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the 　4　 team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to 　5　the
game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I couldn't 　6　 I had got into such a situation.

That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their 　12　, we met every day and 　13　passing and kicking the football. 
Six months after suffering our 　14　on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 　15　. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 　16　for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 　17　of my life!  From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 　18　 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and　19　them. I helped
them to see themselves 　20　, and they built themselves into winners.  Winners are made, not born.

微专题 02 完形填空之句内题、句组题和语篇题
句内层次题的解题信息分布在本句内,在读懂文意的前提下,利用本句的一些解题信息就可直接作答。对于此类题目,考生可以边读边填,将原文信息尽量复原。方法1　利用习惯搭配及固定结构解题完形填空中经常会考查一些习惯搭配、固定结构和固定句式,这时考生就需要运用习惯搭配及固定结构来解题。
返
[2018·全国Ⅱ]I was thrilled! I arrived early at Byron Bay where we were supposed to meet. The bay was 　45　 in sunshine, and there was a group of kayakers around 150m off the shore. 45.A.bathed　　B.clean C.deep D.formed
A　be bathed in为固定搭配,表示“沐浴在······中”。
方法2　利用生活常识和文化背景解题 完形填空的语篇中往往渗透着诸如文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。考生在做题时,若能积极地调动自己掌握的文化背景知识和生活常识,巧妙地加以运用,特别是注意中西方文化的差异,将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程,节省宝贵的时间,从而轻松地做出正确判断。
[2018·全国Ⅱ]Getting a little closer, I realized one kayak(皮划艇) was in trouble. “Something's not right!” I took off my T-shirt and 　49　 into the water. I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying across the middle. He was shaking violently. Linking arms with one of the instructors, I helped 　51　 the young man out of the water. He was unconscious and as I looked at his face, something occurred to me. Those brown eyes were very
familiar. “What's his name?” I asked the instructor. “Ben,” he replied, and immediately I knew. That stranger was my son! 49.A.stared B.sank C.dived D.fell51.A.lead B.persuade C.carry D.keep
49.C　根据生活常识,作者注意到一个皮划艇出了意外情况,自然是脱掉T恤衫,跳进水里救人,dive意为“跳水”。51.C　作者和一位教练一起应该是将这个不省人事的年轻人抬出了水面,用carry表示“抬”。
方法3　利用对应成分分析法解题 完形填空文章的上下文之间以及句子内部之间往往有着一定的逻辑关系,它使句子的各个成分之间形成一定的对应关系。考生可以根据这种逻辑关系找出与设空处相对应的已知成分,将它作为线索,通过它推断出设空处的答案。
[2018·全国Ⅲ]Teresa posted a photo of the chance meeting on a social networking website accompanied by the touching words:“What a blessing this young man was to our family! He was so 　59　 and kind to do this.” 59.A.smart B.calm C.sweet D.fair
方法4　利用逻辑关系解题 此方法是通过分析设空处上下文与已知信息之间的逻辑关系来确定答案,主要应用于完形填空的两类题型:一是考查连接词和起连接词作用的短语;二是考查上下文的逻辑关系。
We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 　48　 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller's accident. 48.A.and B.then C.but D.thus
方法5　利用语境暗示分析法解题 上下文语境具体体现为全文的主线和主题、作者的态度倾向和评价、上下文语篇衔接、句际和段际关系。在句内层次题中,我们通常可以通过上下文语境暗示,即根据已知信息,推导出正确答案。
[2018·全国Ⅱ]The instructors called for an ambulance.　55　, after a brief stay in hospital, Ben was well enough to be allowed to 　56　 and later the family met up for dinner. 55.A.Fortunately B.Frankly C.Sadly D.Suddenly56.A.return B.relax C.speak D.leave
55.A　根据下文中的after a brief stay in hospital,Ben was well enough可知,此处选A项。56.D　根据下文中的later the family met up for dinner可知,Ben被允许出院。
句组层次题是比句内层次题稍难一级的题目,其解题信息分布在空格前后的一组意群之中,解题时需瞻前顾后,即如果根据本句信息不足以判断出正确答案,再在空格前后找信息源。
方法1　利用语义复现解题 复现是一种语义衔接手段,它通过原词、同义词、近义词、反义词、上义词、下义词、同源词或同根词等重复出现来表达某一概念,使整篇文章上下连贯,有机地衔接在一起。因此,考生可根据文章的具体情况,理解文章的结构和语境,利用文章中的语义复现来选择正确的答案。
1.[2018·全国Ⅲ]When most of us get a text message on our cell phone from an unknown person, we usually say “sorry, wrong number!” and move on. But when Dennis Williams 　42　 a text that clearly wasn't intended for him, he did something special. 42.A.received B.translated C.copied D.printed
A　此空是上文中的get的同义词复现,故选A项。
2.[2017·全国Ⅰ]While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this 　41　 process and found something that has changed my experience at college for the better: I discovered ASL—American Sign Language (美式手语). 41.A.searching B.planning C.natural D.formal
A　此空是上文中的explore的近义词复现,故选A项。
方法2　利用作者态度或感情色彩解题　　在做高考完形填空题时,我们一定要在快速阅读文章的过程中,仔细找出能够反映作者态度和感情色彩的重要词汇,它们往往是名词、形容词、副词或动词。这些词通常是我们做题时重要的参照线索,可以帮助我们快速确定某些题目的正确答案。
[2018·全国Ⅱ]Two weeks earlier, my son, Ben, had got in touch. He'd moved to England with his mum when he was three and it had been 13 years since I'd last seen him. So imagine my 　42　 when he emailed me saying he wanted to come to visit me. 42.A.delight B.relief C.anger D.worry
A　上文提到作者已经13年没见过自己的儿子了,因此当儿子发来邮件说他想来看望作者时,作者应该是感到高兴,故A项符合语境。
方法3　利用逻辑关系解题 在句组层次题中,利用逻辑关系解题同样是一种重要的方法。 Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置) on your desk. And they've never actually met you. Everything they know about you came through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away.　
43　 they feel they can know you just from the sound of your voice. That's how powerful the telephone is. 43.A.Thus B.Yet C.Then D.Indeed
方法4　利用语境暗示分析法解题 在句组层次题中,我们往往也需要通过上下文的语境暗示来解题,即根据已知信息,推导出正确答案。 [2018·全国Ⅲ]On March 19, Dennis got a group text informing him that a couple he didn't know were at the hospital, waiting for the 　45　 of a baby.  
“Congratulations! But I think someone was mistaken,” Dennis responded. The baby was born and update texts were coming in quickly from the overjoyed grandmother, Teresa. 45.A.wake-up B.recovery C.growth D.arrival
D　根据下文中的The baby was born这一暗示信息可知,一对夫妇正在等待宝贝的降临,因此选arrival“到来;降临”。
方法1　利用语义复现解题　　在语篇层次题中,我们同样可以利用语义复现解题。 Lainey finished third grade. She had good grades and could read above grade level, but she did not like to read. On a family car trip, her Aunt Dede pulled out a copy of Harry Potter, as a surprise for her niece. But Lainey took one look at it, rolled her eyes, and said, “Borrrring!”
Aunt Dede, a teacher, had read the book to her students, and they loved it. Even the youngest children in the class were attracted by the story. They listened with great interest, and then enthusiastically joined in grand conversations about Harry's adventures. “How can you say it's 　48　? Have you read it?” asked Aunt Dede. 48.A.amazing B.boring C.ridiculous D.humorous
B　第48空是上文and said,“Borrrring!”中的Borrrring的原词复现,故选boring。
方法2　利用总分结构对照分析法解题 完形填空往往采用总分对照结构,总述是对分述的总结和概括,而分述是对总述的展开和详述,两者之间有着明确的相互支撑、相互印证的对照关系。总分对照结构可以为我们提供重要的解题线索。
Powerful, yes, but not always 　46　. For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I'd never met in person, got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really annoyed me. I sometimes wished to find another agent.  One morning, I had to book an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani's office for the first time. The woman sitting at the desk, seeing my madness,
sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a comforting smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the ticket immediately. “What a wonderful lady!” I thought. Rushing out gratefully I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what's your name?” “I'm Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a pleasant woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was speechless! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so nice.
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani's friendliness—her warm smile, her nods, her ‘I'm here for you’ attitude—were all silent signals that didn't travel through wires.46.A.direct B.useful C.easy D.accurate
D　该空所在句是一个总述句,因此,仅仅看到本题所在句子包含的信息是不够的,还要看下文的相关信息,这个关键信息就在下文的分述部分。分述部分讲的是作者在电话里觉得Rani很冷漠,但见面后对她的印象完全改变了,由此可知,电话虽强大,但不准确。总结一下分述部分,很容易判断出第46题的答案就是D项。
方法3　利用逻辑关系解题　　在语篇层次题中,利用逻辑关系解题也是一种重要的方法。 Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home.The loud music filled the room and made them feel very happy.
The next morning, 　38　, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbors had written to complain (抱怨) about the sound of the piano.Dario's mother asked the building superintendent (管理员) if he knew anything about it.But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn't imagine any of them had done
that.Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing.38.A.therefore B.however C.otherwise D.instead
B　通过对空格处上下文已知信息的分析可知,上一段讲的是感到快乐的原因,本段讲的是快乐消失的原因,上下文是明显的转折关系,因此答案选B项。
[2020·湖南长沙一中模拟]Most people say “I'm sorry” many times a day for a host of trivial (琐碎的) things. These apologies are easy and usually readily 　1　, often with a response like, “No problem.” 　2　, when “I'm sorry” are the words needed to right truly hurtful words or acts, they can be the hardest ones to 　3　. And even when an apology is offered with the best of intentions, it can be seriously 　4　 by the way in which it is worded. A poorly
worded apology can 　5　 lasting anger and 　6　 an important relationship.  I admit to a lifetime of challenges when it comes to 　7　, especially when I thought I was right or 　8　. But I recently 　9　 that the need for an apology is less about me than the person who is 　10　 by something I said or did or failed to do. I also learned that a sincere apology can be extremely 　11　 for the recipient (接受者) as well as the 　12　.  After learning that a neighbour seemed 　13　 due to my small errors, I wrote a 　14　 and apologized for my 　15　.
I said I wasn't asking for 　16　, merely hoping that we could have a harmonious 　17　, and then delivered the letter with a jar of my homemade jam. Expecting nothing 　18　, I was greatly relieved when my doorbell rang and the neighbour 　19　 me for what I had said and done. I felt as if I'd not only got rid of a(n) 　20　 but made a new friend, which is indeed how it played out in the days that followed. 
不找任何借口,带着诚意与尊重为自己的过失道歉,不仅会减少一个敌人,而且会多交一个朋友。
1.A.accepted　　B.found C.proved D.remembered2.A.Therefore B.Otherwise C.However D.Besides3.A.say B.gain C.forget D.control4.A.described B.weakened C.recorded D.trusted5.A.depend on B.look on C.take in D.result in
1.A　大多数人每天为各种琐事说许多次“对不起”,这些道歉容易做到,通常也易于接受。
2.C　根据上文中的easy与下文中的hardest的对比可知,该空前后两个句子之间在语义上是转折关系。
4.B　根据下文中的poorly worded可知,即便你是本着最大的善意道歉,这种道歉也有可能因为措辞不当而被削弱。
3.A　但是当“对不起”是为了弥补确实很伤人的话语或行为时,它们就会成为最难说出口的话。
5.D　措辞不当的道歉会导致持久的愤怒,也会破坏一段重要的关系。
6.A.continue B.manage C.judge D.destroy7.A.lying B.dreaming C.apologizing D.praising8.A.admired B.worried C.misunderstood D.delighted9.A.discovered B.expected C.promised D.feared10.A.moved B.hurt C.attracted D.criticized
6.D　见上题解析。
7.C　作者承认道歉是人生的挑战,尤其是当他认为自己是对的或被误解时。
9.A　下文I also learned that中的learned与设空处是近义词复现,故选discovered。
8.C　见上题解析。
10.B　根据该空后的by something I said or did or failed to do可知,被作者所说、所做或未能做到的事伤害到的人,更需要作者的道歉。
11.A.simple B.impossible C.beneficial D.interesting12.A.quitter B.giver C.lover D.rescuer13.A.excited B.puzzled C.embarrassed D.annoyed14.A.letter B.book C.story D.poem15.A.jokes B.mistakes C.excuses D.decisions
11.C　根据下一段的具体事例可知,真诚的道歉不论是对接受者还是对给予者来说,都是非常有好处的。
12.B　见上题解析。上文中的recipient和选项中的giver之间是反义词复现关系。
14.A　根据第17空后的delivered the letter可知,作者写了一封信。此处为原词复现。
13.D　根据该空后的due to my small errors以及apologized for的语境暗示可知,邻居因作者的一些小错误而感到恼火。
15.B　第13空后的errors和选项中的mistakes之间是同义词复现关系。此处是说作者为自己的错误道歉。
16.A.introduction B.suggestion C.forgiveness D.encouragement17.A.occupation B.relationship C.community D.situation18.A.in total B.in turn C.in brief D.in return19.A.thanked B.changed C.comforted D.helped20.A.worker B.relative C.neighbour D.enemy
返
16.C　根据该空后的merely hoping that we could have a harmonious 　　　以及下一段中的Expecting nothing可知,作者并非请求原谅。 
17.B　根据上文可知,作者的错误破坏了他与邻居之间的关系,那么作者道歉的初衷只是希望保持一种和谐的关系。
19.A　根据该空前的greatly relieved可知,邻居感谢作者所说的话和所做的事。
18.D　联系上下文内容可知,作者并不期待任何回报。
20.D　根据该空后的but可知,该空与friend形成对比,故enemy符合语境。friend与enemy是反义词复现关系。
微专题 03 完形填空之易错点
导致完形填空题目错选的原因主要有以下几点:①解题信息比较隐含;②干扰项迷惑性较强;③情感态度较难把握;④惯性思维。针对这些题目,考生除了需具备扎实的语言功底外,还应谨慎应对。本讲总结了解答完形填空的5大易错点,旨在让考生遇到此类题目时不要急于求成,要三思而判。
返
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,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,读完全文后综合思考再做判断。
[2018·全国Ⅰ]During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I jumped at the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to save a few dollars?... Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this job was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it clear that our credits
would be hard-earned. In order to pass the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to apply what we would learn in class to our future professions and, eventually, to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 　53　 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the classroom. 53.A.game　　B.presentation C.course D.experiment
C　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。本题可以利用语义复现解题。第1段was offering a “free” course中的course是第53空的原词复现,故选C项。
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。
[2018·天津]I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. Most important, I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football. ... From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can affect the members of a team.
Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves 　35　, and they built themselves into winners.35.A.honestly B.individually C.calmly D.differently
D　四个备选项都是副词,部分考生很容易因混淆而失分。联系上句中的Instead of seeing my boys as losers以及上文中的treat them like winners可知,此处是指“我帮他们用不同的方式看待自己”。
在最近几年的高考完形填空中,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生义而出现思维堵塞,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”。
1.[2018·全国Ⅲ]Much to the family's surprise, Dennis stuck to his promise! He turned up at the hospital 　53　 gifts for the new mother Lindsey and her baby boy. Lindsey's husband was totally astonished by the unexpected visit. “I don't think we would have randomly invited him over but we appreciate it and the gifts.” 53.A.bearing B.collecting C.opening D.making
A　本段主要描述特蕾莎一家没有想到丹尼斯真的来到医院,还带来了礼物,她们非常感动。bear是一个多义词,用作动词,最常见的意思为“承受;忍受”,除此之外还有“承担(责任);支撑;承受(重量);带有;携带;生(孩子);开(花);结(果实)”等。根据语境可知,此处选bearing,意为“携带”。
2.[2018·浙江]One day I met a former classmate of mine who was making a lot of money running a sideline (副业). Since his regular job was boring, I asked him why he just didn't do his sideline fulltime. He said without the job, he would　49　 have too much time and would just do what I did back in college. He said that if he quit the job, he would lose his drive to work and succeed. 49.A.luckily B.hardly C.hopefully D.simply
D　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,我们比较熟悉它的意思是“简单地;简朴地”。
在完形填空题的设题上,命题者往往还将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,考生在平时必须引起重视,背熟记熟。
[2017·全国Ⅰ]The following term, I 　56　 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 　57　. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. Instead, if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the new way of communication it opens. 56.A.missed B.passed C.gave up D.registered for57.A.prohibited B.welcomed C.ignored D.repeated
56.D　下文的语境中介绍了ASL课堂上教授的情况以及作者在课堂上的感悟,由此可判断作者在下学期报名参加了这门课程,故此处应选择D项,register for表示“登记;报名参加(课程)”。57.A　文中两次出现的silence以及if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less都表明,在手语课上任何谈话都是被禁止的,故此处选择A项,prohibit表示“禁止”。
在英语学习中,考生的母语、知识面、思维习惯等都有可能令考生出现一些思维定式现象,即不善于思考,考虑问题不全面,这会导致考生对一些题目产生误解,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,仅背记其中文意思,而不深刻理解其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)学习短语或习惯用语时受到的思维定式影响 例如:学习了wait for这个短语以后,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,wait后就不用for。
[2017·北京]One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man 　36　 out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that, and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. 36.A.jumping B.eating C.crying D.waving
B　受思维习惯的影响,考生易误选A项,因为jump out of 是常见搭配。但根据下文中的the man was homeless and hungry可知,她们看见一个人在垃圾桶里捡东西吃。
Our younger son, Tim, was in his senior year of high school. Every student is madly trying to get good 　1　 and complete college applications. There was an essay he had to write and the 　2　 was drawing near. We're good parents. We do our best at keeping our 　3　 shut—whenever possible. Tim knew what he should do, but he had a tendency to 　4　 anything. Weekend homework was never done until Sunday night, no matter how much free time there might have been. 
I knew I shouldn't 　5　 him, but I really worried. So I said in an offhand (随便的) way, “By the way, Tim, have you worked on that essay you're 　6　 to do?” Tim, in his 　7　 way, looked at me and said, “Mom, your anxiety is not going to make me get it done any faster” — a line that has been 　8　 in family memory forever. Tim hit on something that seems 　9　 truer today than when he first said it. Our anxiety doesn't make us faster or more efficient. 　10　, it simply makes us more anxious.
It seems so 　11　, and yet, something I easily forget. When I closed my eyes on the subway train, my anxiety was the first thing to 　12　. It was surprisingly loud: “You need to do this! Have you worried about that? What about that?” I 　13　 to open my eyes quickly, take out my phone and send an email 　14　 put down something in my calendar. I forgot I should deal with my anxiety rather than be 　15　 by it.   We should keep our anxiety under 　16　. How can we have the courage to face 　17　 if we worry about this
作者的儿子在读高三,处在努力拼搏的阶段。面对孩子的拖沓,作者感到焦虑。但她儿子的话让她明白焦虑解决不了问题,我们必须学会努力克服焦虑。
and that? When our anxiety comes up, we should keep our eyes closed and say to ourselves that 　18　 will be much better and we can make it through. As long as we 　19　 dealing with anxiety every day, it will become less and less till it disappears 　20　.
1.A.grades B.comments C.salaries D.jobs2.A.competition B.meeting C.deadline D.celebration3.A.eyes B.hearts C.doors D.mouths4.A.worry about B.put off C.note down D.figure out5.A.blame B.confuse C.urge D.help
1.A　根据语境可知,作者的儿子Tim在读高三,每一位学生都在努力取得好成绩并完成大学申请。
2.C　根据下文可知,作者的儿子有一篇文章要写,截止日期马上要到了。deadline意为“最后期限;截止日期”。
4.B　根据下文中的“Weekend homework was never done until Sunday night...”可知,无论有多少空闲时间,作者的儿子总是直到周日晚上才开始写周末作业。由此可知,作者的儿子有拖沓的倾向。put off意为“推迟;延期”。
3.D　作者和丈夫知道在可能的情况下要尽量闭嘴,因为Tim知道自己应该做什么。
5.C　根据下文可知,作者知道自己不应该催促Tim,但她真的很担心。
6.A.allowed B.supposed C.advised D.forced7.A.wise B.new C.simple D.strange8.A.repeated　 B.preserved C.copied D.ignored9.A.yet B.even C.ever D.never 10.A.Fortunately　B.Partly C.Actually D.Originally
6.B　根据第1段中的There was an essay he had to write可知,此处应选supposed。
7.A　根据下文作者的儿子所说的话可知,他是用一种睿智的方式回应作者。
