高考英语复习完形填空：考点解析说明文2

完形填空之

说明文（2）（新课标）

二、说明文

【体裁诠释】

说明文一般用简练的语言，按一定的方法介绍事物的类别、性质、特点、构造、成因、关系或事物的运动变化、发展的过程及规律。说明文十分讲究条理性，一般采用时间顺序、空间顺序或逻辑顺序。

1. 说明文一般分为三类：

①事物的说明；②事理的说明; ③文艺性的说明。

2. 说明文通常具有下列特点：

(1)多用现在时态。因为说明文通常是对客观事物或事理的一种介绍与解释，而这种客观介绍与解释一般是不随时间变化而变化的。

(2)采用客观描述。说明文一般是对客观存在的说明与介绍，因此，语言的表述也应该尽可能地给人以客观可信的感觉。

(3)遣词用字简练、平实、确切。

说明文的主要目的是帮助读者认清事物，明白事理，故其语言通常较为浅显、通俗，比较易于读者理解。其内容也很客观真实，它的用词总是贴近事物的本来面目，不会使用华丽的词藻和夸张的写作手法，一般也不加描述和议论。

3. 做好说明文完形填空，最主要的是抓住文章说明的中心，这要求考生做好三方面：

（1）注意文章的说明顺序，常见的说明顺序有时间、空间、逻辑（指先因后果或先果后因，先主后次的顺序）和认识顺序（指由此及彼，由浅入深，由局部到整体，由现象到本质，由具体到抽象的顺序）。把握了说明的顺序，就能准确把握文章的脉络，抓住文章中心。

（2）注意段落之间的逻辑关系，说明文的首段往往是文章的主题段，每段的首句也是主题句，一定把握好主题段和主题句，这是做好这类完形填空题的前提。

（3）注意文章结尾，文章结尾的段落往往对说明的问题进行总的概括，有时就是文章的点睛之处。

1、（2011·吉林省实验中学高三第二次模拟考试）

“ Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with．It is

36

to find someone who is down-to-earth．A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to

37

accepts other people as equals．A down-to-earth is just the 38 of someone who acts importantly and proudly.

Down-to-earth persons may be

39

members of society, of course．But they do not let their importance “ go to their

40

”．They do not

41

themselves to be better persons than others of less importance, someone who is filled with his own importance and

42 , often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”．There is no way a person with his nose in the

43

can be down-to-earth．Americans use another expression that means almost the same

44

“down-to-earth”．The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”．Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person

45

a good understanding of reality．He has what is called “

46

sense”．He may have

47

, but he does not allow them to

48

his knowledge of what is real．The opposite kind of person is

49

who has his “head-in-the-clouds”．A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the

50

world.

Sometimes

51

a dreamer can be brought back to earth． 52

words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.

Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very

53

to have both-feet-on-the-ground.

54

we have both our feet on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act

55

and openly toward others．Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

in the beginning or middle of the day, and

52

from caffeine, alcohol and cigarettes in the afternoon and evening. After dark, dim (使暗淡) the lights and try to

The first 33 frightened me in the beginning. But that 34 quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals 35 ended up being my difficulties. I knew that it was 36 to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But I wanted to 37 in both. I knew this would be a 38 , but I didn’t realize how much until classes began.

I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 39 , instead of finishing my homework 40 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew 41 wasn’t very good and the grade I 42 showed my lack of effort.

I was 43 that I needed to find some sort of balance.

So I created a schedule that would 44 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 45 I was only able to 46 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.

5、 Mars is not, it seems, the dry old planet we once believed

to go there in the next decade may find plenty

（38）

water to slake （消除） their thirst．And with water present the

This is the view of forty geologists who have been analyzing

of pictures and other scientific

obtained by robot explorers in the sixties and seventies．

To begin with, scientists thought the Red planet was as

（43）

as the Moon

dust storms swirling over vast sandy

．But now the picture is very different

（46）

mountains and valleys carved by

（47）

glaciers and rivers rushing and rumbling deep underground．

In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr．Michael Car of the U．S．Geological Survey comments: “I am convinced

（48）

lots of water on Mars．” Any surface water will be in the

（49）

of ice．But it could save explorers from

（50）

to take so much

（51）

with them．

The report says

（52）

Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages

（53）

due to its axis （轴） having been more tilted （倾斜） towards the sun．

1

guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at six thirty, the hostess

him to be there at six thirty or

to each situation and follow the lead of the Americans present.

7、

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.

It should state

1

the job you want,

and should tell what your abilities are and what you have

2

.

It should be simple,

human,

personal and brief without

3

out any necessary fact.

In writing a letter of application,

keep in

4

that the things a possible employer is most

5

to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）,

your achievements and your aims.

The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.

6

the first few sentences fail to

7

the reader’s attention,

the rest of the letter may not be

8

at all.

Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not

9

your own need or desires.

For example,

instead of beginning with “I saw your

10

in today’s paper.

”you might say“I have made a careful

11

of your advertising during the

past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives

12

your product and why they like it. ”

Try to

13

generalities.

Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now

14

.

College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“What can I

15

in a letter?

Employers want experience,

which,

naturally,

no

16

has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is

17

.

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.

18

a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.

An excellent

19

is to enclose（内附）a stamped,

self-addressed envelope with your letter.

That makes it

20

for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

It seems as if cellphone could be the protection that parents expecting the kids to have freedom and be safe have been looking for. Let’s

1

your 11-year-old son is going on a long bike ride with a friend,

so they take

along your cellphone

2

they need help. Not only could they call you if necessary,

but

3

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) equipped on many mobile phones today,

your son and his friend could also be

4

easily. Plus,

with an additional service,

you could track the boys’

5

location. Or consider this:

If your daughter is

6

herself and three friends to a concert,

she could

7

out exactly how to locate the concert location and get back home by using her equipped cellphone. And through a(n)

8

software package,

you could

9

her whereabouts (行踪).

10

tracking devices as we all consider useful,

however,

have

11

. If the boys urgently needed help during the ride,

12

might be too late by the time someone found them. And if they wanted to,

the concert-going girls could deviate (偏离) from the

13

route and go to a night club after the

14

they could turn off the phone or leave it in their own car and drive with someone else.

Cellphones and their accompanying programs are tools for

15

children safely today,

but all of them are

16

extremely reliable. Under no circumstances does

17

else replace a well-established parent-child relationship

18

love and trust.

If you do decide to let your kids use these devices,

don’t rely

19

on them for protection. Your children need you to watch them，but

20

will never take the place of your time,

attention,

eyes,

and ears when overseeing your child’s whereabouts.
