答案 B
3. A. Gladly
B. Eventually

B. Then
C. Sometime

答案 A
5. A. add up to
B. make up for
C. get rid of
D. take advantage of

答案 B
6. A. If
B. As
C. Though
D. Before

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。

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

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。

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.”

【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
解析 根据本句后半部分提到的助教可知是一个“工作岗位”。
答案 C
11.A.learning
B.judging
C.obeying D.imagining
解析 她从事的是教育行业,面对的是精神不太正常、“学习”有困难的孩子。
答案 A
12.A.patiently
B.eagerly
C.successfully D.skillfully
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
16.A.spirit B.intention
C.action
D.attempt
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。
答案 D
18.A.At
B.During
C.On D.With
解析 根据上一句中的内容可知在她工作“期间”,她被选举为年度教师。
答案 B
19.A.worthless
B.thoughtless
C.hopeless
D.helpless
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

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.

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。
