第三节完形填空
【总体评析】最近几年来的完形填空试题材料选材上，都力图选取一篇有教育意义和现实实用价值的文章。受到更多先进快捷媒体比如internet的冲击的现状，作者通过回顾和现状事实的对比描述，也表达了自己的担忧：未来书信何去何从?通常来讲，这样的文量均会是一篇记叙文或者一个与生活有关的一些经历描述：这篇文章就是亦属于与生活相关：这是一篇教育性或倡导性文章：通过描述自己与哥哥的交往变化来倡导书信在交流中的重要性作者措述了一个有趣的事实：在相聚中，自己与哥哥相处不好，忽视了它的优点：但是分开后.多亏了没有现代化的交通工具…电话、email.所以只能写信.再次展现哥哥的品质，所以连作者本人都发出感叹: “Because we live in an age of easy communication(通讯),people often forget that they don’t always have to phone or email. They have a choice . And that is to write.”(因为我们生活在通讯工具便捷的时代，人们难免会忘掉我们不必总得用电话或电子邮件联系，我们还有另一种选择，那就是写信。)
这样的记叙思路恰好是全国卷高考英语命题的潜在思想，达到了教育性
启迪性的目的。
该试题的难度和前几年相比，难度相当;用词选项方面，都间接考查了构词法：reread, deepem等，类似于去年的acceptance，难度上略微有所增加。
详细解析
21. D
解析：前文有enjoy, read，不可能是received 或 returned, 只能是“重读”。Rewritten表示“重写”
22. C 表示保持两人的友谊
23. A 根据后文举例说明，故用give an example
24. C get through通过，完成; get together 聚会，聚焦; get along 相处; get away走开，离开
25. B Children 与后面的grow apart呼应
26. C 根据后文的our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels，推理出“不愉快”，选择pleasant
27. A 根据情感变化是“加深误解”，故选用deepen，该题主要考构词法
28. D 搬家，迁居，move to some place
29. A 失去联系lose touch with sb.
30. B 根据上下文，鼓励我写信 encourage me to write
31. A. drive 驾驶;驱动;驱赶。这里是为他的语言文字所驱使或驱动之意。
32. D 忆往昔，曾几何时，这些品质恰是我尊重哥哥的原因。Once 曾经
33. C 但“认为”他不再具备这些品质。Thought说明过去的想法
34. A 强调写信的好
35. D 我们再一次成为朋友。Again“再一次，又”
36. D 整句话是虚拟语气，“如果哥哥去的地方不是因为没有电话，他将不会给我写信”是哥哥的身上发生的事
37. C 同36题
38. B 当代是通讯发达的年代，故选easy，表示便捷的意思。
39. D 根据文章，人们忘掉了这一点(参考总体评析)。此处提醒人们要记得并非必须用电话、电子邮件才能交流
40. B 另一种选择 choice

The passengers on the bus watched with sympathy as Susan made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and then, using her hands to 31 the seats, settled in one of them.

解析：今年的完形填空的文章原型来源于一片叫作“The Blind Bus Passenger”的文章。讲的是一个盲人乘客的故事。20道题的设置基本考察了学生对于文章的理解能力，和根据上下文理解单句的能力。期间也涉及到一些基本语法问题，比如从句，被动语态，固定搭配以及动词短语的选择。
比如31题，考生要知道盲人是看不见的，所有的动作都是靠摸索的，其实这是常识问题，据此可知应该选择“feel”(摸索，感知),而不应该是“有目的”地去“touch”(触碰);
32 盲人陷入到黑暗的世界，这种表达在中文里面我们也使用，所以明显应该是“a world of darkness”;
33 单纯考察词汇，sink into hopeless , 描述人陷入到绝望之中，“sink”表示下沉，和人陷入绝望的状态是符 合的。[来源:Ks5u.com]
34 be determined to do sth. 这是新概念二册中的重点句型，下决心做某事，当然你也可以用 make up one’s mind to do sth.
35 人残志不残，她想回到工作之中去，作返回来讲return 是一个不及物动词，因为选D。
36. 考察形容词。Frightened表示恐惧
37. volunteer表示志愿去帮助Susan，现在很流行志愿者，所以大家不会对这个词感到陌生。
38. Until在这里是连词，引导时间状语从句。状语从句是重点语法，大家要注意学习了
39. accompany表示“陪伴”，既然Mark是来帮助Susan的，显然就来陪伴她的
40. 盲人失去的是 “sight”实力，其它的sense(感觉)还是存在的
41. 简单的词汇辨析题，盲人需要适应的是新的environment(环境)，而不是新的position(位置)等到
42. on one’s own表示“靠某人自己”本文一直都是在表扬这位盲人的毅力和坚持，希望能够靠自己来维持自己的正常生活。
43. 试想，拥抱自己的丈夫，而且是在分别的时候，感慨万千的时候，应该有的动作当然是 “tightly”(紧紧的)，而不是其它的类似于politely(礼貌的)
44. 在接受了别人的帮助后，Susan终于要独自一人登上旅程了。他们各自走各自的路， “separate”表示“分别的”，其实她的背后有很多默默支持她的人，显然不是 “lonely”(孤独的)这样的词
45. take hold of(吸引); take place of(代替);take charge of(掌管);take advantage of(利用)
46. as usual(像往常一样)，表示经常发生的动作再次发生
47. envy(嫉妒，羡慕)仔细阅读下面的文章，不难发现，司机是准备告诉Susan一个秘密。也就是要告诉她有很多人在默默地支持和关怀她。所以，根据上下文的理解，可以知道此刻司机是要表达一种羡慕嫉妒之情，也是对Susan的一种宽慰
48. 几个疑问词的选择，不难。
49. 在过于的几个星期中，英文应该是 “for the past week” “next”表示的是下周，还没发生的事情是不可能用完成时的，而且 “for”+一段时间，是现在完成时的时间状语标志
50. sight表示“视力”。文中指的是，Susan虽然失去了视力，但是获得了更多宝贵的东西。

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was __36___to see that it was an English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary._37___it was a dictionary intended for non—native learners, none of my classmates had one __38__, to be honest, I found it extremely __39_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and _40__ not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the __41__ bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are _42__ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt __43_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _44__ that monolingual dictionaries are __45_ in learning a foreign language
As I found out, there is __46_ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two _47___ in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 48___ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __49___ meaning of a word in English! ___50_ , she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a world in a monolingual dictionary __51___ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. ____52__, I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 53 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 54 exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can express myself more easily in English.
36.A.worried B .sad C .surprised D .nervous
这是一篇记叙文，作者主要描写自己从最初接触英英词典的惊异，到习惯使用英英词典以及使用英语词典的好处。
36.C 。 通读全文可知，作者是一个中国大学生，中国人学英语，尤其是初学者习惯使用英汉词典。当作者看到英英词典的时候，他感到“吃惊”。
37.A.Because B .Although C .Unless D .If
37.B. 前后两句在意义上是让步关系，所以用although引导让步状语从句。而A项because引导原因状语从句;Unless和if’引导条件状语从句。
38.A.but B .so C .or D .and
38.A. 此空格处是一个并列连词，连接前后两句。而前后两句之间存在的是转折关系，所以用but。
39.A.difficult B .interesting C .ambiguous D .practical
39. A. 最初用英英词典，不习惯，所以作者感觉用起来“很难difficult”。interesting是“有趣味的意思”，根据下文not fully understand the meaning不可能是这个答案;ambiguous是“不明确的”;practical是“实用的”，这两个词也不符合语境。
40.A.thus B .even C .still D .again
40.C. 句子中有否定词not，有副词fully，所以用still，表示“仍然不能够完全”的意思。
41.A.new B .familiar C .earlier D .ordinary
41.B. be used to 表示“习惯……，对作者来说习惯了双语词典，或者说是英汉词典。这里指双语词典的使用对他来说是熟悉。
42.A.explained B .expressed C .described D .created
42.A. 此句是一个in which引导的定语从句，其中words是主语，根据常识在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的，所以用explained.
43.A.offered B .agreed C .decided D .happened
43.C. 我真想知道我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我。其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式，但是在这里意思都不恰当。
44.A.imagine B .recommend C .predict D .understand
44.D. 过去不理解，经过一段时间后，“明白了understand”;imagine是“想象”的意思;recommend是“推荐”的意思;predict是“预测”的意思。
45.A.natural B .better C .easier D .convenient
45.B. 此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较，A和D项没用比较级，better强调更好，更实用，而easier则不可能。
46 A.at best B .in fact C .at times D .in case
46.B. 常见的情况是实际上两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应。in fact表示“实际上，事实上”。at best是“至多;充其量”;at times是“有时”;in case是“万一，以防”，显然A、C、D项不合语境。
47.A.words B .names C .ideas D .characters
47.A. 词典上重点的内容应该是单词。
48.A.hope B .declare C .doubt D .tell
48.B. 我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。
49.A.exact B .basic C .translated D .expected
49.A. 前面的a Chinese equivalent和the meaning of a word in English对应，所表明还是对应不准确的问题，所以用exact。
50.A.Rather B .However C .Therefore D .Instead
50. C. 此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一种“因果”关系，所以用therefore。
51.A.when B .before C .until D .while
51. A. 表示“当……时候”，用when引导时间状语从句。而before通常指“在……之前”;until指“直到……时候”;while指“在……的同时”。
52.A.Largely B .Generally C .Gradually D .Probably
52. C. 该句的谓语have come to see是表示“变化过程”，所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。
53.A.extra B .average C .total D .limited
53. D. 从后面的around 2,000可知词典中用于解释词义的词是限制在2，000左右。
54.A.repeatedly B .nearly C .immediately D .anxiously
54. A. 在有限的范围内，查阅阅读释义的话，就会反复接触基本词汇、学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点，所以用repeatedly表示“反复地，经常地”，
55.A.According to B .In relation to C .In addition to D .Because of
55. D. 后面主句部分I can express myself more easily in English.表达的是结果，此处表达的应该是原因，说明使用这种词典所带来的好处。

I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !"I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program
as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design. www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing
B eing on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 . www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing
36. A. and B . yet C . so D . for
37. A. opinion B . impression C . information D . intention
38. A. make B . keep C . handle D . change
39. A. anything B . something C . everything D . nothing
40. A. questions B . comments C . explanations D. remarks
41. A. hold B . follow C . evaluate D . form
42. A. happy B . lively C . reliable D . punctual
43. A. message B . motto C . saying D . suggestion
44. A. again B . more C . instead D . later
45. A. steps B . control C . charge D . risks[
46. A. improved B . acted C . looked D . reflected
47. A. easily B . carefully C . confidently D . proudly

49. A. confirmed B . decided C . realized D . acknowledged
50. A. with B . below C . of D . by
51. A. developed B . discovered C . took D . fostered

53. A. bored B . lazy C . sad D . afraid
54. A. trust B . patience C . curiosity D o interest
55. A. accessible B . enjoyable C . possible D . favorable
36.B考察连词及句子理解。前面unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking是消极意向,后面encouraging 和 inspiring是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中A表并列,C表结果，D表原因，只有B选项yet表转折。
37.A 考察名词及篇章理解。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接提示了这个空应该选观点opinion这个词. 第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意图均不符合题意。
38.C 考察动词及篇章理解。根据文章主线选择“处理”事情。考纲要求考生掌握handle 的两种意思，名词是“柄、把”，动词是“处理”，这里考察后者。A, 做、创造 B 保持 D改变 均不符题意。
39.D 考察代词及句子理解。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。 know nothing about sth 对某事一无所知。
40.A 考察名词及篇章理解。解题关键词是本句的 ”respond 回答、响应”, 线索是第二段第一句中的 “ask 提问”及第四句中的“answer 回答”， 因此这里填 “question 问题”这个词。BD选项是评论，C是解释，不符题意。
41.D 考察动词及篇章理解。本句的them指代opinions 。form opinion形成观点 。hold opinion持有某种观点，form 是个变化的状态，hold是个持续的状态，根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点，由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点，强调形成这个过程，另外Begin to后接有变化感的词，故选form不选hold. B. follow 遵照,C .evaluate评估与题意差别较大。
42.C 考察形容词及句子理解。解题线索在后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and more ” 作者做的事情变多是Mrs. Neidl信任的结果，说明我是个可信赖(reliable)的人,C选项符合题意。其他三个选项happy 高兴的 lively活泼的和 punctual 准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的lively通常用来形容物。
43. B考察名词及句子理解。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话，而且前面“that year”也是线索，说明这话是她的motto座右铭。迷惑性较大的C选项saying是谚语的意思，往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结，强调群体性及时间性，故不合适，message 信息，suggestion 建议，不合题意。
44.D 考察副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大，解题关键词是介词“over”，表覆盖。选择later 可以理解为“如果没有画好，稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。” more更多， Instead 代替， 不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again.表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在这里与over意思重复，paint over it later相当于 paint it again, 故不选A。
45.D 考察名词及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配，冒险。通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信，第四段开头也提示了作者“shy” ,“quiet”,因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险，是自我突破的过程，文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险，因此选D。take steps是采取措施、步骤的意思，与文章主题不搭，control 和 charge 都有控制的意思，不合题意。
46.A 考察动词及句子理解。Improve upon 改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧，我们永远可以重画一次。”因此不存在失败，只存在改进。Act upon按照、对…起作用，look upon 看待、考虑，reflect upon 考虑、回顾，均不符题意。
47.C 考察副词及篇章理解。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，根据前文提示作者曾很不自信，后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔，因此选confidently. A easily 容易的。作者超越自我的过程并不容易。B carefully 小心地。创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程。D Proudly 骄傲地。文章中没有任何体现。
48.B 考察动词。Be recognized as“被公认为、被承认”。 Introduce 介绍、引入，be identified as“ 被确定是”，有验证身份的意思，be considered as “被认为、被当作”。其中 be recognize as 有“被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思，表意更准确。
49.C 考察动词。解题关键词是“want ”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么，所以用realized. 迷惑项是decided 决定。可以说决定要什么，但不可以说决定想什么，因为想法是不可控制的。Confirm 证实 acknowledge 承认，与题意差别较大。
50.A 考察介词。Being with sb 与某人在一起。这里不能选of是因为全文第一句话，Mrs. Neidl是“ one of the directors”，所以不能说是她的团队。Below 和 by 搭配错误。
51.B 考察动词。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界，选discovered. 迷惑项是developed , 这个词可以与interest 连用表示形成了某种爱好，但是不可以与world连用表示“形成一个未知世界，”故排除。Take interest 取利，foster 培养，均不合适。
52.B 考察动词及篇章理解。“她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”，care 在乎，符合文意。Accept 接受，judge 判断 ，wonder 怀疑 均不合文意。
53.D 考察形容词及句意理解。Be afraid害怕。前面说Take chance 冒险，后面理所当然说不要怕(失败)，而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词，是全篇的关键词。Bored 无聊的，lazy 懒惰的，sad 伤心的，在文中均无体现。
54.A 考察名词及篇章理解。Trust 信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任，并在第三段明确使用了trust这个词，因此推断出答案。Patience 耐心，curiosity好奇心，interest兴趣，文中均无体现。
55.C考察形容词及篇章理解。“她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情”， “never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible.” 认为不可能的，贴合文意。Accessible 容易取得的 enjoyable 有趣的 favorable 有利的赞同的 均不合文意。

Introduction to Letters to Sam
Dear Reader,
Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book. When my 36 , Sam, was born, my heart was filled with joy. I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20 years before then, and I have been 37 ill many times. So I wondered if I would have the 38 to tell Sam what I had 39 .
For years I have been hosting a program on the 40 and writing articles for a magazine. Being 41 to move freely, I have learned to sit still and keep my heart 42 , exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and 43 . So when Sam was born, I 44 to tell him about school and friendship, romance and work, love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these 45 . I hope that Sam would 46 them sooner or later.
However, that expectation 47 when Sam showed signs of autism (自闭症) at the age of two. He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He 48 to communicate with others, even the family members. That was 49 for me but didn’t stop me writing on. I realized that I had even 50 now to tell him. I wanted him to 51 what it means to be “different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll 52 as I myself, his grandfather, did. I just 53 if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.
Now, 54 the book has been published, I have been given the chance. Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam: some about my life, and all about what it means to be a 55 .
