  【语篇解读】 本部分原文节选于读者文摘(Reader’s Digest)澳大利亚版,考题略有删节,并替换掉原文中超过高考范围的词汇,采取同义词替换的手段使原文表述通畅。所选文章延续历年出题模式,以记叙文为题材,选取作者在生命中不平凡的阶段受到陌生人帮助的事实,歌颂和赞扬人间真情和助人的美德。

  1. A. loneliness

  B. sadness

  C. tiredness

  D. sickness

  解析 属于上文提示法,首句中出现ill,此选项应是ill的同义表达,故选D。

  答案 D

  2. A. set

  B. enjoyed

  C. kept

  D. shared

  解析 属于上文提示法,上句出现病情可以manageable,所以作者应该是享受那段过去的美好时光,故选B.enjoyed。此选项在2009年全国一卷完形填空部分第41题出现过,且也为正确选项。

  答案 B

  3. A. Gladly

  B. Eventually

  C. Unfortunately

  D. Surprisingly

  解析 属于下文解释法,下文出现发生改变,结合首句作者生病,可推出作者表达的是不幸的情绪,故选C.unfortunately。此选项为高考完形填空中的的高频选项。

  答案 C

  4. A. Now

  B. Then

  C. Sometime

  D. Meanwhile

  解析 属于转折对比法,上文出现years ago和changed,因此推出此题应回归现实,故选A.now。此选项在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37题出现过,且也为正确选项。

  答案 A

  5. A. add up to

  B. make up for

  C. get rid of

  D. take advantage of

  解析 属于固定搭配法,add up to总计;make up for弥补,补偿;get rid of处理,摆脱;take advantage of利用。此题应选B. make up for。此选项考生不应陌生,2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21题D选项曾出现过此词,可见背历年考题中的选项部分的重要性。

  答案 B

  6. A. If

  B. As

  C. Though

  D. Before

  解析 属于逻辑关系法,此法多用于句子与句子之间,解决连词的问题。因为作者下午需要睡觉,所以受到限制。故选B.As。

  答案 B

  7. A. movement

  B. condition

  C. choices

  D. positions

  解析 属于上文解释法,第三段首句提到作者打算做某事,但由于病情,下午需要睡觉,所以选择受限,故选C.choices。

  答案 C

  8. A. reaching out

  B. living up

  C. getting on

  D. going back

  解析 属于前后照应法,上文提到过几年之前唱歌的事实,此处再次出现要去唱歌,故选D.going back。

  答案 D

  9. A. recognized B. interviewed

  C. found

  D. invited

  解析 属于中文代入法,全家都是音乐家,所以走进音像店会被认出,故选A.recognized。

  答案 A

  10. A. money

  B. time

  C. energy

  D. knowledge

  解析 属于A and B法,这是并列结构,要求前后词性与词义要相似,几乎在每年的高考完形中都会考查这个知识点。本题and之前说东西很贵,之后理应推出没有足够的钱,故选A.money。

  答案 A

  11. A. thus

  B. once

  C. seldom

  D. often

  解析 属于反义词一对,即四个选项中有一组反义词,答案多在这组反义词中出现。此题C和D构成反义结构,根据文章信息,故选D.often。

  答案 D

  12. A. actually

  B. hardly

  C. nearly

  D. formerly

  解析 属于中文代入法,实际上一张光盘里的十首歌也只有三、四首可以用,故选A.actually。

  答案 A

  13. A. job

  B. family

  C. idea

  D. offer

  解析 属于上文提示法,上文中作者有提到过想再次唱歌的这个想法,故选C.idea。

  答案 C

  14. A. face

  B. view

  C. look

  D. sight

  解析 属于同义辨析法,此考查点多在四级考试完形填空部分中出现,在2008年高考英语浙江卷第26题也曾考查过,当年的难度系数约为0.32。此题中的B.view强调的是眺望风景,C.look强调看的眼神,D.sight强调视力,本文店主深深地看了作者,属于眼神之间的交流,故选C.look。

  答案 C15. A. over

  B. along

  C. towards

  D. through

  解析 属于固定搭配法,店主带领作者穿过拥挤的店铺,从空间穿过,故选D.through。

  答案 D

  16. A. unhappily B. lovingly

  C. pitifully

  D. gratefully

  解析 属于感情色彩法,此法多用于解决形容词或副词。下文出现treasure,因此可以推出店主对自己的宝物爱不释手,心爱地触摸,故选B.lovingly。

  答案 B

  17. A. pick

  B. turn

  C. role

  D. step

  解析 属于固定搭配法,take your pick,美国俚语,随你挑选的意思,故选A.pick。

  答案 A

  18. A. had to cry

  B. ought to cry

  C. should have cried

  D. could have cried

  解析 属于语法识别法,近几年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化语法点考查,一般只会涉及一道。C.should have cried,本应该做的事情而没有做,放在原文中过于牵强,而本题是作者受到店主的恩惠,非常感动,本可以哭但没有哭,故选D.could have cried。

  答案 D

  19. A. more

  B. the ones

  C. few

  D. the rest

  解析 属于寻找重复法,31题与32题之前曾出现only three to four songs...can use,对应...could sing,故选B.the ones。

  答案 B

  20. A. courage

  B. devotion

  C. kindness

  D. trust

  解析 属于主旨概况法,即所选选项要与原文中心相一致。本文详细描述店主对作者的帮助,店主的善举感动作者,故选C.kindness。

  答案 C

  Cloze 4

  (2011·高三江苏省常州市武进高中期中)It was in my high school science class. I was doing a task in front of the classroom with my favorite shirt on.

  A__1__came,“Nice shirt.” I smiled from ear to ear. Then another voice said,“That shirt belonged to my dad. Greg’s mother works for my family. We were going to__2__that shirt away, but gave it to her__3__.”I was speechless. I wanted to hide.

  I__4__the shirt in the back of the closet and told my mum what had happened. She then dialed her__5__, “I will no longer work for your family,” she told him. That night, Mom told my dad that she couldn’t clean anymore;she knew her life’s__6__was something greater.

  The next morning she__7__with the personnel manager at the Board of Education. He told her that without a proper education she could not teach. So Mom decided to__8__a university.

  After the first year in college, she went back to the personnel manager. He said,“You are__9__, aren’t

  you? I think I have a__10__for you as a teacher’s assistant. This opportunity deals with children who are mentally challenged with little or no chance of__11__.” Mom accepted the opportunity very__12__.

  For almost five years, as a teacher’s assistant, she saw teacher after teacher give up on the children and quit,feeling__13__. Then one day, the personnel manager and the principal__14__in her classroom. The principal said,“We have watched how you__15__the children and how they communicate with you and admire your hard-working__16__over the last five years. We are all in agreement that you__17__be the teacher of this class.”

  My mom spent more than 20 years there.__18__her career,she was voted Teacher of the Year. All of this came about because of the__19__comment made in the classroom that day. Mom showed me how to handle__20__situations and never give up.

  【语篇解读】 作者的委屈让母亲觉得受了奇耻大辱,她毅然辞掉了手头的工作,克服种种困难去大学深造。面对一群智障孩子,她没有放弃,用自己的敬业精神感动了学生和领导。她的自强不息,也让作者受益匪浅。

  1.A.noise B.voice

  C.sound

  D.tune

  解析  此处指的是人的声音,所以用voice。下一句中的another voice也是线索提示。C项可以表示各种声音,不太恰当。

  答案 B

  2.A.get

  B.take

  C.carry

  D.throw

  解析  根据上一句中的内容可知他们原本打算把这件衬衣“扔掉”,但是后来(做了个顺水人情)给了作者的母亲。

  答案 D

  3.A.otherwise

  B.anyhow

  C.instead

  D.actually

  解析  他们没有把衬衣扔掉,“而是”给了作者的母亲。C项“反而,却”符合语境。

  答案 C

  4.A.settled B.pushed

  C.stored

  D.stuck

  解析  作者受到别人的冷嘲热讽羞得无地自容,显然对衬衣产生了逆反心理;于是把衬衣“随手放”到壁橱的后面。所以D项“(迅速或随手)放置”符合语境。

  答案 D

  5.A.teacher B.employer

  C.director

  D.adviser

  解析  根据第二段中的内容可知作者的母亲是在给别人当雇工,所以是给她的“雇主”打电话。

  答案 B

  6.A.purpose

  B.encouragement

  C.achievement

  D.victory

  解析  她不堪让孩子受委屈,于是辞掉了眼前的工作,因为她知道自己人生的“目标”远比给别人当雇工伟大。

  答案 A

  7.A.went

  B.met

  C.worked

  D.stayed

  解析  结合上下文可知应是meet with,表示“与……会面”。她当时还没有被对方接受,因此后两项不正确。

  答案 B

  8.A.visit

  B.continue

  C.attend

  D.prepare

  解析  根据上一句中的内容可知她没有受过高等教育,但是迫于工作的需要,她决定去“上”大学。

  答案 C

  9.A.serious B.fortunate

  C.careful

  D.responsible

  解析  结合语境可知她虽然已经成家,但是为了工作仍然不惜克服各种困难去上大学,这种“认真的”态度博得了对方的好感。因此选A项。

  答案 A

  10.A.career

  B.duty

  C.position

  D.part

  答案 C

  答案 A

  解析  她辞掉雇工的工作后去大学深造,显然是非常“渴望”得到这份来之不易的工作。其他选项与所给语境不符。

  答案 B

  13.A.upset

  B.frightened

  C.guilty

  D.ashamed

  解析  上文提到她所面对的这些孩子有精神问题,学习存在困难,因此看到一个又一个老师放弃这些孩子,辞掉这份工作,她感到很苦恼。upset表示“苦恼的,心烦的”。

  答案 A

  14.A.looked up

  B.went up

  C.took up

  D.showed up

  解析  一天,人事主管和校长“出现”在她的教室里。前三项分别表示“查阅”“上升”“从事,占据”,都不符合语境。

  答案 D

  15.A.believe

  B.protect

  C.treat

  D.receive

  解析  她的工作岗位是助教,由此可知对方一直在观察她是如何“对待”这些孩子的。

  答案 C

  解析  其他老师接连放弃,而她始终如一地坚持工作,所以孩子们非常钦佩她五年来努力工作的“精神”。

  答案 A

  17.A.must B.would

  C.might

  D.should

  解析  他们都被她的精神所感动,一致认为她“应该”成为本班的教师。

  解析  上文中提到作者的母亲不堪让孩子受辱,于是辞掉了工作,决定重新塑造自己的人生,由此可知所有发生的一切都是因为那天作者的那位同学在教室中的“不加考虑的”评价。

  答案 B

  20.A.challenging

  B.different

  C.dangerous

  D.strange

  解析  她克服了种种困难获得了助教的工作,后来又凭借自强不息的精神当选为年度教师,所以她展现给作者的是如何处理“有挑战性的”情况,并且永不言弃。

  答案 A

There I was standing on the stage floor when my classmates were on top of their boxes. I could hear giggles(咯咯笑) coming from the audience, and I felt the__12__rush to my face. I remembered my dance teacher had told us, “If you make a mistake, keep smiling so the audience will not__13__.” I did my best to follow her__14__as I continued with the routine.

  When the curtain dropped, so did my__15__ for the evening. I__16__ bitterly, tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face. I ran backstage, but no one could__17__me down.

  Recently I realized I had been a__18__that night. I was__19__, but I fought the urge to run off the stage.__20__, I finished the routine with a smile on my face. Now when friends and family laugh about the time I slipped during a dance performance, I can laugh too.

  【语篇解读】 本篇为叙事故事,记述了作者七岁时参加演出过程中的一段经历,虽然作者在表演时出现了失误,但他还是坚持面带笑容将表演完成。多年之后,作者反思自己当时的表现,他认识到当时能坚持下来,自己就是一个明星,当与朋友、家人谈到那次不成功的表演时也能释然。

  1. A. filled 

  B. visited

  C. attended

  D. decorated

  解析 通读全文可知,作者描述了自己七岁时的一次舞蹈表演的经历,有表演自然就有观众,因此本句意为:家人们挤满了演出大厅,大厅里充满了激动的气氛,表示“充满、挤满”用filled。

  答案 A

  2. A. pressure

  B. impression

  C. debate

  D. attention

  解析 根据作者后面的描述可知,本句句意应为“我只有七岁,但是我是人们注意的中心”,所以要使用attention。

  答案 D

  3. A. take over

  B. show off

  C. look after

  D. give up

  解析 本题所在的句子意为:最后,在经过了几周的准备之后,我要在舞蹈表演中展示我所做出的努力。show off展示;炫耀,卖弄,与语境相符; take over继承,接办;接管; look after照顾,照看;give up放弃,投降。

  答案 B

  4. A. reasonable

  B. suitable

  C. obvious

  D. perfect

  解析 根据后面的描述可知,尽管作者的这次演出失败了,但作者一开始认为“一切将会很完美——我是这样认为的。”perfect完美的,符合逻辑。 reasonable合乎情理的;suitable合适的,适宜的;obvious明显的。

  答案 D

  5. A. dressed up

  B. folded up

  C. covered up

  D. mixed up

  解析 本句描述了自己演出时的穿戴,所以句意应为“我等在后台,穿着黑色的紧身衣,扎着金色的腰带。dress up 意为“化装,打扮”,与参加演出这一语境相符。fold up 折叠起来;cover up 掩盖,盖住;mix up混淆;拌和;调和。

  答案 A

  6. A. suggested

  B. explained

  C. announced

  D. predicted

  解析 本句句意应为“典礼的主持人清晰地大声宣布下面表演的是我们班。” announced意为“宣布”,符合句子语境。

  答案 C

  7. A. music

  B. audience

  C. curtain

  D. stage

  解析 演出自然少不了观众,演员们要面对观众表演,所以本句意为:我们的舞蹈班成员在一个两英尺见方的箱子上做固定的动作,面向观众。

  答案 B

  8. A. easy

  B. active

  C. adventurous

  D. extra

  解析 由后文可知,作者太注重保持脸上的笑容以及高昂着头部,所以对这么简单的动作没有很在意。

  答案 A

  9. A. containing

  B. hiding

  C. sharing

  D. keeping

  解析 作者在本句中描述了自己表演出现失误前的状况,句意为:我脸上带着微笑,高昂着头,注意力如此集中以至于我没有看到我移动的位置。keep保持某种状态,所以D项正确。contain包含; hide躲藏;share分享。

  答案 D

  10. A. why

  B. whether

  C. where

  D. what

  解析 见上句解析。

  答案 C

  11. A. wandered

  B. slipped

  C. waved

  D. skipped

  解析 从下文There I was standing on the stage floor when my classmates were on top of their boxes可知,作者在表演时出现了失误,故本句意为:我没踩上同伴的箱子,滑倒了,故用slip符合语境。

  答案 B

  12. A. blood

  B. pleasure

  C. pride

  D. tear

  解析 自己的表演出现了失误,肯定非常尴尬,故本题句意为:我能够听到观众席上传来的咯咯笑声,我感到我的脸涨得通红。blood符合语境。the blood rushed to my face/cheek指由于羞愧或愤怒而血冲上了某人的面庞,脸涨的通红。

  答案 A

  13. A. leave

  B. cheer

  C. believe

  D. notice

  解析 根据后面的描述,作者最终克服了自己的心里障碍完成了表演,所以本句句意应为“我记起了我的舞蹈老师曾经告诉我们的话‘如果你出现了失误,要继续微笑下去,这样观众就不会注意到了’”。所以D项符合句意。

  答案 D

  14. A. gesture B. example

  C. advice

  D. plan

  解析 根据后文的叙述可知,作者坚持完成了任务,所以本句句意应为“我尽力听从了她的建议,继续完成我的动作。” 故C项正确。

  答案 C

  15. A. doubts

  B. hopes

  C. voice

  D. patience

  解析 根据上文描述可知, 作者本来是想要表现一下的,结果却出现了失误,所以自己的希望落空了,因此本句句意应为“当幕布落下,我的希望也落空了。”故B项符合语境。

  答案 B

  16. A. argued

  B. shouted

  C. begged

  D. sobbed

  解析 由后文的tasting the salt from the tears可知作者哭了起来,所以本句句意应为“我哭了起来”,故D项正确。

  答案 D

  17. A. turn B. calm

  C. let

  D. put

  解析 在当时的情境下,自己为表演的失败而流泪,自然没有人能一下子使她情绪稳定下来,所以应该用calm down表示“使……平静”。

  答案 B

  18. A. star B. pioneer

  C. loser

  D. fool

  解析 事情过去这么多年后,作者回过头来重新审视自己当时的表现,能够坚持下来,而不是跑回到后台,这件事本身就是自己让人感到了不起的地方,因此本句意为:“近来我认识到那天晚上我就是一个明星。”所以A项符合语境。

  答案 A

  19. A. satisfied

  B. moved

  C. embarrassed

  D. confused

  解析 根据前面的叙述可知作者当时的失误使得自己非常尴尬,所以本句意为:我当时很尴尬,但是我克制住了自己冲出舞台的冲动。所以C项符合句意。

  答案 C

  20. A. However

  B. Instead

  C. In total

  D. in return

  解析 分析上下文可知,此处表示转折意义,所以本句句意应为“相反地”,我脸上带着微笑完成了动作。

  答案 B
