When I was a small boy my family was very poor. My father always used his savings to
21
my mother to visit her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the house. One evening Dad came home from
22
and there was no food in the house, not
23
a piece of bread. Although we were
24
, my brother and I went to bed without eating anything.
My father had no money, but I knew from the
25
on his face that he could not let us have an empty stomach. He
26
the house and about two hours later returned and quickly
27
us up. He had in his hand two small potato pies, which he gave us to eat. I don't know where he got the
28
but somehow he
29
to get us something to eat.
My father had not eaten and had worked all day
30
he sat there with great satisfaction watching us eat. This has
31
stayed in my mind and left more of an impression than any amount of
32
he may ever have given me.
At that moment, I felt happy knowing that he was there and would not let us
33 .
I guess the
34
I am trying to make is that in difficult times it is
35
not to show weakness but strength and character. If a
36
is the cement (粘合剂) that holds a family together, then the father is
37
that strengthens that cement.
It is his values and
38
and memories that have carried me forward and helped me to
39 my own problems in life. In my own
40
I have learned that it is the valuable time you spend with your children and the values you give to them that will remain with them always.

第1模块 完形填空 模块导读(3)
探究点二 对形容词和副词的考查
形容词、副词是高考完形填空题重要的考查内容。形容词可以修饰名词;副词主要用来修饰动词、形容词、副词等。广东高考完形填空考查的副词有相当一部分是方式副词(表示行为动作发生方式的副词)。
重点掌握以下两类副词:
1.由形容词加后缀ly构成的副词, 如slowly(慢慢地), politely(有礼貌地), proudly(骄傲地), carelessly(粗心地), properly(适当地, 完全地), successfully(成功地),
badly(严重地, 非常)等。
2.由分词加后缀ly构成的副词, 如surprisingly(使人惊奇的是), hurriedly(匆忙地), undoubtedly(无疑, 必定)等。
做题时应该注意:
1.形容词、副词的基本意义、引申意义
例1 That his only son was killed in a car accident was a __________ blow to the old man.
A.heavy
B.broad
C.huge
D.main
【解析】 A 老人唯一的儿子在车祸中丧生对他来说是沉重的打击。这里的heavy意思是“强烈的, 沉重的”。
例2 She has the ability to keep________ in an emergency.
A.quiet
B.calm
C.still
D.silent
【解析】 B 我们不妨从这几个表示“静”的反义词的角度来加以辨析。calm对应wild, 指海上无浪, 情绪稳定;still对应moving, 指不动;silent对应wordy, 指不出声;quiet对应noisy, 指安静, 无噪音。由句意可知应选B。
例3 Mr.Smith used to smoke ________ but he has given it up.
A.seriously
B.heavily
C.badly D.hardly
【解析】 B Mr.Smith以前抽烟抽得很凶, 但现在已经戒掉了。这里的heavily指的是量大, 次数频繁。
例4 The final score of the basketball match was 93∶94.We were only ________ beaten.
A.nearly
B.slightly
C.narrowly D.lightly
【解析】 C 副词narrowly在此表示“勉强地”。句意:篮球赛的最后比分是93∶94。我们以微弱的劣势输掉了比赛。
例5 It is always difficult being in a foreign country, ________ if you don’t speak the language.
A.extremely B.naturally
C.basically
D.especially
【解析】 D 注意掌握词语的准确含义, 结合语境进行分析。extremely极端地;naturally自然地;basically基本上;especially尤其, 特别地。
例6 She devoted herself ________ to her research and it earned her a good reputation in her field.
A.strongly
B.extremely
C.entirely
D.freely
【解析】 C strongly强烈地;extremely极端地, 非常;entirely全部地, 完全地; freely自由地。根据句意, C项最符合。
2.同、近义形容词、副词的区别
在对形容词和副词的考查中, 有时会碰到同义、近义词的辨析。辨析时, 单从汉语意思上有时是无法辨清的。我们要逆向思维, 采用反义对比、分析构词等方法, 使语义一目了然。例7 When I took his temperature, it was two degrees above ________.
A.average
B.ordinary
C.regular
D.normal
例8 Letter boxes are much more ________ in the UK than in the US, where most people have a mailbox instead.
A.Common B.Normal C.ordinary
D.usual
例9 It’s in the ________ interest that we should have a wellrun health service.
A.ordinary
B.general
C.Particular
D.usual
例10 Now, in our country, free medical treatment covers sickness of mind as well as ________sickness.
A.normal
B.average
C.ordinary
D.regular
【解析】 7.D 8.A 9.B 10.C 这组题目主要涉及ordinary, usual, common和normal等词语的辨析。要辨清这几个中文意义十分相近的词的用法, 我们不妨来个逆向思维, 从它们的反义词上去寻找一些“蛛丝马迹”:ordinary — special (特殊的);general — specific, particular (具体的, 个体的);common — rare (少见的);normal — abnormal (不正常的)。从反义词的角度, 把同义、近义词作对比, 它们的区别便一目了然。
3.形容词与介词的搭配
例11 This magazine is very ________ with young people, who like its content and style.
A.familiar
B.popular
C.similar
D.particular
【解析】 B be familiar with熟悉;be popular with受……欢迎;be similar to与……相似(注意不搭配介词with);be particular about对……很讲究(不搭配介词with)。
4.副词与动词的搭配
例12 I ________ recognize the difficult situation the company is in.
A.Strongly
B.deeply
C.sincerely D.fully
【解析】 D 注意记忆一些常用表达, 如deeply regret 深感遗憾;fully recognize完全认清;sincerely hope由衷地希望;strongly recommend强烈建议。
5.语境
对形容词、副词的考查, 侧重语境考查占较大比重。解答此类题目时不仅要理解形容词和副词的词义, 而且对语境的正确理解更为重要。所以,要根据语境选择与短文所描述的情景或叙述的人、物、事件的性质、特征等有关的形容词或副词, 选择与短文前后叙述的话题、主题、中心内容相关的形容词或副词。
例13 The committee is discussing the problem right now. It will ________ have been solved by the end of next week. A.eagerly
.hopefullyC.immediately D .gradually
【解析】 B 既然“现在正在讨论”, 那么这个问题在一定时间内得到解决是“有希望的”。比较四个选项, 你会发现A、C、D在逻辑上都讲不通, 可知答案是B。
例14 At times, worrying is a normal, ________ response to a difficult event or situation — a loved one being injured in an accident, for example.
A.effective
B.individual
C.inevitable
D.unfavorable
【解析】 C 分析题干的语境可知, 既然“worrying”是对困难的一种正常反应, 那么这种现象的发生就是自然的, 也是“不可避免的”。

A.give B.take
C.draw
D.teach
【解析】 B 根据下文Learn to play the piano, and...可以知道答案。
3.语篇性设空:综合上下文后敲定答案
这种设题方式体现了“突出语篇”的命题思路。
例6 I did very badly at school.My headmaster thought I was ________ and when I was 14 he said, “You’re never going to be anything but a failure.”
A.bright B.useless
C.simple
D.hopeful
【解析】 B 根据上文...did very badly和下文You’re never going to be anything but a failure, 可知答案。
例7 I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week. It was one of the most ________ games I’ve ever had. When Ed suggested we play, I laughed quietly, figuring on an easy victory. ...When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs. In a way, I think we both won: I won the game, but cousin Ed won my respect.
A.encouraging
B.hopeless
C.surprising
D.regular
【解析】 C 此题并非考查四个词的区别, 而是考查对全文的理解。根据后文提到的作者预计的得分与实际得分相比较, 这场比赛的结果是出人意料的, 所以可以推断C项为正确答案。
