mouth.But，as she looked at me，sincerely waiting for _37_，I realized she was not trying to be rude.“I never think about it，”I truthfully replied.She nodded and turned away.I was left wondering if

important it was to me.It is part of my _44_.Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of “perfection”The _45_ is that no one is perfect.When all potential for ugliness is

Dinstead考向分析完形填空題對考生們來講一直是難度較大的語言能力測試題，但同時也被認(rèn)為是當(dāng)今比較可行的、能較好體現(xiàn)學(xué)生能力的英語測試題。它要求考生能夠去領(lǐng)悟一篇不完整文章的語篇大意，根據(jù)已學(xué)知識，整體理解、通篇考慮，推導(dǎo)“未知”內(nèi)容。它具有主觀性測試和客觀性測試的雙重優(yōu)點。它既可以在篇目中考查學(xué)生的英語基礎(chǔ)知識即語法和詞匯知識；又可以考查學(xué)生運用所學(xué)語言知識的能力，如詞義辨析、詞語搭配、習(xí)慣用法、語言交際，文化背景和社會風(fēng)俗等等，同時還要求學(xué)生具備良好的把握上下文行文邏輯和整個篇章結(jié)構(gòu)的能力。考生必須在一定的時間內(nèi)讀懂全文，把握作者意圖，推斷文章內(nèi)涵，然后根據(jù)上下文語境，從整體上把握文章的內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系，結(jié)合所學(xué)的語言知識和各種常識選出適合語境和文義的詞語。分析近幾年湖南省高考試題，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)完形填空具有以下特點：一、選用文章特點近幾年來，湖南完形填空題的難度保持相對穩(wěn)定，考查主要立足語篇，強調(diào)語言運用能力以及通過上下文的暗示理解文章的能力。近五年高考完形填空題特點：1)所選文章難度與高中教材難度大致相同。2)文章內(nèi)容貼近生活，易于理解；有一個主題，內(nèi)容多為夾敘夾議的感悟性文章和敘事性文章。3)短文的選材更加靈活，題材更加廣泛，而且時代信息越來越強；更加貼近現(xiàn)實生活。例如：2008年湖南卷的完形填空是一篇充滿生活氣息的回憶性的短文，作者描寫了讀小學(xué)時與好友一起度過的一個生活片段。所選的文章題材生活化，富有一定的哲理，整體難度適中。整篇文章充滿了濃濃的溫情，讀起來讓人感到親切，考生易于理解和接受。2009年湖南卷文章的選材還是一篇記敘文，以第三人稱的口吻記敘了Johnny不擅長跳舞，遭人嘲笑，抬不起頭羞于見人，后來由于手風(fēng)琴拉得好而深受鼓舞。啟示考生要認(rèn)識到自己的長處。20個小題的設(shè)計以實詞為主，考點分布如下：動詞8個，名詞4個，形容詞2個，副詞2個，介詞、連詞各2個。遺憾的是，經(jīng)過命題者的刪減和改寫，考生在這篇文章個別題目的兩個選項間可能難以取舍。如第39題的 Aexpected 與D.chosen及第 50題的A.Struggling與B.Trembling。2010年湖南卷的完形填空是一篇作者自述一次冒險經(jīng)歷的文章。作者的狗領(lǐng)著作者沿著一條他們不熟悉的小路散步，結(jié)果好不容易才回到家。但從冒險經(jīng)歷來看，作者斷定他的狗一定知道回家的路。它只是喜歡探險新的路徑罷了。考點分布如下：動詞5個，名詞3個，形容詞3個，副詞1個。2011年湖南卷完形填空部分的文章采用了“人與人之間的情感交流”的和諧類文章，類似的故事情節(jié)在往年真題和模擬題中出現(xiàn)了許多次。從考查詞匯的角度上看，在新課改的單詞要求下，選項中出現(xiàn)了以往的完形填空題目中沒有重點要求過的新單詞，但是與之配合考查的詞匯都是以往出現(xiàn)過很多次的，考生應(yīng)該可以根據(jù)每個單詞的詳細(xì)考點加以排除。完形填空的考點是高中的核心詞匯，所以在平時的練習(xí)中一定要注意高頻詞匯的積累，對于這些常考詞的詞性、詞義和用法要有準(zhǔn)確的把握。隨后的填詞題也是送分題型之一。其中設(shè)空大部分為代詞、介詞以及連詞，所以考生在直接讀文章的時候就不會受到太大干擾，對全文的理解也會比較到位?？键c分布如下：動詞6個，名詞3個，形容詞2個，副詞1個。除44,45小題較困難外，整體上難度適中，建議考生多做歷年完形填空真題，熟悉鞏固考查點與做題法。2012年湖南卷完形填空文章依舊是常見的記敘文。主要講述了牙齒縫隙過大給作者帶來的煩惱和啟示。文章及選項無難詞，考點比較固定。12道題目的分布為：名詞題5道，動詞題4道，短語題1道，形容詞、副詞題各1道。由于名詞題居多，所以實際上和往年相比降低了整體難度。該部分設(shè)題避免了純粹的語法考題或不讀上下文就能知道答案的固定搭配等非語境類題目，所有試題均需根據(jù)語句或語段間的上下文進(jìn)行理解推斷，部分試題需在全篇理解的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行推理判斷，考生能得出正確答案主要是依靠掌握的語法知識和形成的理解能力，而非從題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)中獲得的經(jīng)驗，這也是全面考查考生基本知識和能力的重要表現(xiàn)。二、設(shè)置空白特點1)近幾年湖南高考完形填空題第一句話都沒有設(shè)空，其目的是給學(xué)生提供閱讀入門的基本信息。短文中設(shè)空的平均間距在1015詞之間。2)每小題所給出的4個選項一般都屬于相同的詞類或同一范疇；干擾項也多半可以和空前或空后的文字形成搭配，從而起到一定的干擾和迷惑作用。3)在布空設(shè)題方面設(shè)計獨具匠心，以實詞為主，虛詞為輔，重點是動詞、形容詞、名詞和連接詞，副詞、介詞、冠詞考查較少。4)選項具有有效性和干擾性，充分體現(xiàn)語言知識靈活運用的特征。完形填空立足語篇，考查考生通過上下文暗示對語意、語境、語篇的深層次理解，并在掌握文章主旨大意的基礎(chǔ)上，正確理解句與句、段與段之間內(nèi)在聯(lián)系的能力。歷年所選的文章題材均生活化，富有一定的哲理，易于考生理解和接受。三、湖南卷完形填空能力考查的主要體現(xiàn)1)句子層次(2012·湖南高考)She nodded and turned away.I was left wondering if people _38_ me and saw only gappy teeth.38A.heard of Bthought ofCtalked about Dlooked at解析：句子層次屬于完形填空最簡單的設(shè)題方式?？疾榈耐ǔＪ且恍┕潭ù钆洌蚋鶕?jù)所在的句子就能得出正確答案。38.答案D：她點了點頭然后走開了，把作者扔下獨自思索是不是人們只看到作者的有著大縫隙的牙齒。根據(jù)句中的“saw only gappy teeth”可知此處表示“看，打量”。其他選項hear of“聽說”；think of“想到，想起”和talk about“談?wù)摗本c題意不符。2)句組層次(2012·湖南高考)“What's it like to have a gap between your teeth？” a girl asked me one day.Nobody had ever _36_ before.My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth.But，as she looked at me，sincerely waiting for _37_，I realized she was not trying to be rude.36A.faced BguessedCasked Dimagined37A.an offer Ban answerCa suggestion Da result解析：句組層次比句子層次從難度上提高了。因為僅僅根據(jù)所在句子往往解決不了問題，必須聯(lián)系上下句，甚至更多的句子才能得出答案。36.答案C：根據(jù)第一句中的“a girl asked me”可知，此處作者主要想表達(dá)以前沒有人“問”過自己這個問題。37.答案B：作者的手無意中抬了起來蓋住了嘴巴，但是她卻看著作者，誠心盼著給予答復(fù)，根據(jù)下文的“I truthfully replied”可知，此處表示“一個答案”，所以B項正確。3)語篇層次(2012·湖南高考)When I refused to listen，she told me I could get the surgery to close the gap if it was that important.“Let's be _42_，though，” she said.“If everyone got surgeries to become pretty，everyone would be exactly the same.There is beauty in differences.”42A.friendly BlovelyChonest Dhelpful解析：語篇層次是完形填空題命題的較高層次，這個層次的題難度較大，做題時需要具備很強的閱讀理解能力以及邏輯推理、判斷分析的能力。這類試題所占的比例有逐步增加的趨勢。42.答案C。承接上文可知，母親勸說作者，如果感覺這很重要可以進(jìn)行手術(shù)以改變現(xiàn)狀，但是還是希望作者活得真實一點。根據(jù)上下文，如果通過手術(shù)都能達(dá)到美的效果，那么每個人都是一模一樣的了。美在于與眾不同。由此可知C項正確。4)詞匯辨析能力(詞的基本用法、詞的搭配和習(xí)慣用語、同義詞/近義詞/形似詞的區(qū)分)。完形填空的考查角度是在文章理解基礎(chǔ)上的詞義辨析，近幾年湖南卷的完形填空用到了多種詞義辨析手段，如利用構(gòu)詞法中的派生法辨析詞義等，這對今后的詞匯學(xué)習(xí)是有啟示的。 解題步驟1跳過空格、通讀全文、把握大意。先跳過空格，通讀短文，獲得整體印象，弄清文脈、抓住主旨，較好地把握短文大意。要在理解短文的基礎(chǔ)上判定選擇，切忌倉促下筆。2結(jié)合選項、綜合考慮、初定答案。在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上，再結(jié)合所給備選項細(xì)讀全文，聯(lián)系上、下文內(nèi)容，注意從上下文的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞語搭配及從選擇項中尋找解題的提示，以詞、句的意義為先，再從句子結(jié)構(gòu)入手，根據(jù)短文意思、語法規(guī)則、詞語固定搭配等方面綜合考慮，對備選項逐一進(jìn)行分析、比較和篩選，排除干擾項，初步選定答案。3瞻前顧后、先易后難、各個擊破。動筆時要瞻前顧后、通篇考慮、先易后難。對答案比較明顯直接的、自己最有把握的先做，一下子不能確定答案的，先跳過這一空格，繼續(xù)往下做，最后回過頭來再集中精力解決難點。這時可結(jié)合已確定答案的選項再讀一遍短文，隨著對短文理解的深入，可以降低試題的難度，提高選擇的正確率。 4復(fù)讀全文、逐空驗證、彌補疏漏。完成各道題后，把所選的答案“代入”原文，再把全文通讀一篇，逐空認(rèn)真復(fù)查，看所選定的答案是否使短文意思前后連貫、順理成章，語法結(jié)構(gòu)是否正確，是否符合習(xí)慣表達(dá)法。如發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤答案或有疑問的，應(yīng)再次推敲、反復(fù)斟酌、做出修正。 解題技巧1看清上下文，找準(zhǔn)定位詞充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到對選擇有提示作用的詞或句。這些詞有時可能是同義詞或反義詞。(2012·湖南高考)Later that day at home，I began to _39_ my teeth again.I felt upset.I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not gappy.How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have!39A.considerBbrushCcover Dappreciate解析：A回家后，作者開始思考自己的牙齒，心情沮喪。根據(jù)下文的 “I thought.”可以看出，此處表示作者的內(nèi)心感受，所以選擇A項consider“思考”。其他選項brush“刷”；cover“覆蓋”和appreciate“欣賞，感激”均與題意不符。2尋求上下邏輯，從容確定關(guān)系這類題主要考查考生對上下文邏輯關(guān)系的理解，如轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系、讓步關(guān)系、因果關(guān)系、遞進(jìn)關(guān)系、增補關(guān)系、比較關(guān)系以及對比關(guān)系等。(2011·湖南省部分重點中學(xué)聯(lián)考題)It has been many years since I was last in London _ I still remember something that happened during that visit.Aand BforCbut Das解析：C根據(jù)空格前的“It has been many years.”和句后的still remember可知應(yīng)選表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞but。3通順邏輯，尋求搭配注意固定的搭配，包括動詞與介詞的搭配、動詞與名詞的搭配以及形容詞與名詞的搭配等，同時要根據(jù)內(nèi)容選擇正確的短語。(2011·湖南高考)However，when I had to _39_because I stupidly forgot my book，I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself.39A.come out Bstand byCgo back Dturn up解析：C考查短語。根據(jù)文意，作者因為忘記了拿書，所以又回來了。4扎實基礎(chǔ)，理清辨異(2011·湖南省部分重點中學(xué)聯(lián)考題)Soon I heard a _ like that of a door burst in and then a climb of feet.Asound BcryCvoice Dshout解析：A選項 B、C、D 的三個詞都是指從嗓子里發(fā)出的聲音，而sound則表示各種各樣的聲音。因此答案是A項。5了解生活常識，確定相關(guān)知識(2011·湖南省十二所重點中學(xué)聯(lián)考題)Immediately the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the_ hospital.Aanimal BbiggestCplant Dnearest解析：D在這樣的緊急情況下，人們的第一反應(yīng)是到最近的醫(yī)院就醫(yī)，因此答案為D項。6利用語法知識選出正確選項完形填空的有些選項是從語法結(jié)構(gòu)要求上設(shè)計的。語法包括兩大部分：詞法和句法。詞法涉及各種詞性的形式和用法等；句法涉及句子結(jié)構(gòu)，如句子的成分、語序以及句子的種類等。在做完形填空題時，應(yīng)首先以句子為單位，運用所學(xué)的語法知識做出分析和判斷。(2011·湖南省部分重點中學(xué)聯(lián)考題)I did very badly at school.My headmaster thought I was _36_ and when I was 14 he said，“You're never going to be _37_ but a failure.”36A.bright BuselessCsimple Dhopeful37A.anything BsomethingCeverything Dnothing解析：37.A如果說第36空是根據(jù)上下文意思來做的話，那么第37空考查的就是純語法知識，即anything用于否定句中。7總體運用語篇知識完形填空測試內(nèi)容還包括篇章結(jié)構(gòu)和推理判斷能力。這些答案的選擇，起關(guān)鍵作用的是上下文的關(guān)系；也就是說，對短文的理解是非常重要的，這類題型所占的比例較大，且難度也大。若從單句或“局部”來分析，所給的四個答案在語法或結(jié)構(gòu)上都是正確的，若放在全局，則不一定正確?？忌仨毻ㄟ^部分上下文甚至全文才能選出正確的答案來。 8高度重視首尾點睛法完形填空的第一句話通常不會設(shè)空，并常常是全篇的主題句。我們要抓住這一特點，抓住主題句，從中找出文章所談?wù)撌虑榈膚hen，where，who，why，what 等5個W以及規(guī)模、范圍、性質(zhì)及有關(guān)的論點和主張，如2005年湖南卷完形填空的第一句是：“When I was thirteen，my family moved from Boston to Tucson，Arizona.”從這句中我們可以對事情發(fā)生的時間、地點、人物、事件都有了大致的了解。若注意文章的最后一句，我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)它通常不設(shè)空，而且往往會告訴我們事情的結(jié)果、推出的結(jié)論、事件的反響，或是概括全文等，如一篇完形填空文章的最后一句：“However，a well­balanced diet will usually meet all the body's vitamin needs.”，這就告訴我們?nèi)绾螡M足身體對維生素的需求，也給考生很多的提示。如：維生素對身體很重要，飲食中含有維生素等等。文章最后一句常常會給我們以很大的啟發(fā)，從頭再看時，相信有些原本不懂的地方就容易多了。 誤區(qū)警示一、文章大意易錯點(2009·湖南高考)“It's no use，Mum，” said Johnny.“I'm just no good at dancing.”“You've got to keep trying.Tonight will be_36_，dear.Try a turn with that pretty Lisette.”Adifficult BtroublesomeCdifferent Dterrible【錯誤透析】 C全文首句“It's no use，Mum，” said Johnny.“I'm just no good at dancing.”就是文章的主題句，說明了文章的大意。結(jié)合全文大意應(yīng)選C項?！窘忸}指導(dǎo)】 考生在做此類題時容易忽視文章大意。應(yīng)該在把握文章大意的基礎(chǔ)上，對文章進(jìn)行整體了解，避免做了后面的題目后才發(fā)現(xiàn)和前面的內(nèi)容沖突或矛盾。二、情感態(tài)度易錯點(2010·湖南高考)Beans is a white dog，quite handsome and very _38_.He not only understands what we tell him，but also often makes sounds as if he were trying to _39_ back.38A.smart BsweetCslow Dshy【錯誤透析】 Asmart“聰明的”；sweet “甜美的”；slow“慢的”；shy“害羞的”。根據(jù)下一句 “He not only understands what we tell him，but also often makes sounds as if he were trying to _39_ back.”可推斷Beans是聰明的。 【解題指導(dǎo)】 考生在做此類題時容易忽視作者的情感態(tài)度，盲目理解文章大意。三、上下文關(guān)系易錯點(2012·湖南高考)So if that girl ever asked about my teeth _47_，I would truthfully answer，“You know？It's really cute.”47A.once BagainCtoo Dinstead【錯誤透析】如果那個女孩再問“我”有關(guān)牙齒的問題，“我”會真實地告訴她，這很可愛。與開頭相呼應(yīng)，此處表示再一次，所以用again。四、邏輯關(guān)系易錯點(2009·湖南高考)Johnny_37_.Every Saturday night used to be the best of the week.37A.answered BsighedCsmiled Dlaughed【錯誤透析】 B由下句“每個周六的晚上曾是一周中最好的時光”及上文說到Johnney并不擅長跳舞，可知那晚要做的事讓他很無奈，故選sigh“嘆息”?！窘忸}指導(dǎo)】 考生在做此類題時，要合理理解文章的內(nèi)容，正確地把握文章的邏輯關(guān)系。邏輯關(guān)系主要涉及原因、時間、條件、轉(zhuǎn)折等方面。只要考生弄明白文章中的關(guān)鍵詞以及邏輯關(guān)系，就能輕松地確定正確答案。五、基本常識易錯點(2012·湖南高考)Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of “perfection”The _45_ is that no one is perfect.When all potential for ugliness is removed，so is all of the potential for _46_.45A.possibility BpurposeCtruth Dchoice46A.courage BwisdomCkindness Dbeauty【錯誤透析】45.C當(dāng)今許多人做傻事以求達(dá)到“完美”，事實是人無完人。possibility“可能性”；purpose“目的”；truth“事實，真相”；choice“選擇”。根據(jù)句意可知C項符合語境。46.D如果所有潛在的丑的東西都被清除了，那么所有美的東西也不復(fù)存在了。與ugliness相對的自然是beauty?！窘忸}指導(dǎo)】 考生在做此類題時，要在了解短文主要意思的基礎(chǔ)上結(jié)合基本常識來進(jìn)行解題。平時在學(xué)習(xí)時應(yīng)當(dāng)注意知識的積累，加強跨學(xué)科知識的融合。多閱讀，多體會，注意中西文化的差異，掌握一名合格的中學(xué)生應(yīng)具備的基本常識。1(2012·湖南岳陽一中一模)On a Friday night，a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station，playing his violin.Attracted by the great music，many of the passers­by _1_ their paces and put some money into his hat.The next day，the artist came again.Different from the day before，he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground.Then he _2_ the violin and began playing.The paper said，“Last night a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake.Please come to _3_ it soon.”It caused a great excitement among the _4_ and people wondered what it could be.After about half an hour，a middle­aged man hurriedly ran there.“Yes，it's you.You did come here.I knew that you're an honest man and would certainly come here.”The young violinist asked _5_，“Are you Mr.George Sang？” The man nodded.“Did you lose something？” “Lottery (彩票)It's lottery，” said the man.The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang's name was seen.“Is it？” he asked.George nodded at once and _6_the lottery ticket and kissed it.The story turned out to be this：George Sang bought a lottery ticket.The awards opened yesterday and he won a _7_ of $500,000.He was so happy，but when he took out 50 dollars to put in the hat，the lottery ticket was also thrown in.The violinist was a student at an Art College and has planned to attend _8_ studies in Vienna.He has booked the ticket and would fly that morning.However he cancelled the _9_ and came back to wait.Later someone asked the violinist：“At that time you were in need to pay the _10_ and you had to play the violin every day to make the money.Then why didn't you _11_ the lottery for yourself？” The violinist said，“Although I don't have much money，I live happily；but if I lose honesty I won't be happy forever.”Through our lives，we can gain a lot and lose so much，But being _12_ should always be with us.If we act in a dishonest way，we may succeed in a short period.However，from the long­term view，we will be a loser.1A.sped upBfastened upCslowed down Dkept

them with so much love and _1_.Every day he came home from work，he went straight to see them.He _2_ watching them every day.We kids did too.But he used to tell us，“No one should touch my flowers.” One day my younger sister，who loved my dad very much，had wanted to help him and she_3_ the carnations from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged them _4_.She believed that he would be very _5_ to see them that way.When mom and I realized what my sister had done，we became completely hopeless.However，my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation.When my dad arrived，he went _6_，straight to see the flowers.When he saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals，he was _7_ at first.He looked towards the street，to see if it was any of the _8_ children who could have

the home of a wealthy family.The family was _1_ and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guestroom.Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold _2_.As they made their bed on the hard floor，the older angel saw a hole in the wall and _3_ it.When the younger angel asked why，the older angel replied，“things aren't always what they seem.”The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor，but very _4_ farmer and his wife.After _5_ what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.Their only cow，whose milk had been their sole _6_，lay dead in the field.The younger angel was _7_ and asked the older angel，“how could you have let this happen？The first man had everything，yet you helped him.” she _8_.“The second family had little but was willing to share everything，and you let the cow die.”“Things aren't always what they seem，” the older angel replied.“When we stayed in the basement of the mansion，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.Since the owner was so obsessed with _9_ and unwilling to share his good fortune，I _10_ the wall so he wouldn't find it.”“Then last night as we slept in the farmers' bed，the angel of _11_ came for his wife.I gave him the cow instead.Things

their ligaments(韌帶)on court.Though this _1_ will have to remain a daydream，spider silk may really be able to cure their _2_，scientists say.Thought to be the strongest _3_ fiber on the planet，spider silk could be used to rebuild injured ligaments.Randolph Lewis at the University of Wyoming in Laramine has been _4_ the idea.Spider silk has interested scientists for centuries.A(n)_5_ European folk story at least 2,000 years old tells of the possible medical _6_ of spider webs.It said they could help in fighting infections，stopping bleeding and healing wounds.Researches have found no _7_ so far that spider webs can kill germs.But studies on animals have shown that spider silk helps _8_ the rejection of medical implants.So Lewis' lab and others are changing spider silk into fibers that they hope might be _9_ in medicine.Researchers have found that spider webs could be used to rebuild ligaments _10_ in one of the world's common knee injuries.“We're also _11_ spider silk in artificial tendons(腱)” Lewis said.Scientists are also _12_ spider silk to be used for stitching up(縫合)wounds which will help them heal without scarring(傷痕)1A.hope BideaCexpectation Dopinion2A.wounds
