【高考考向】
近年高考卷完形填空文章长度250词左右,选材来自英美国家的主流书刊或正规网站,题材多样化,遵循“文章内容生活化”原则,体现正确的人生观、价值观,传递正能量。
主题语境包含人与社会、人与自我、人与自然,体裁以记叙文为主,说明文和夹叙夹议文为辅。文章要求考生在正确理解语篇主旨大意的同时,注重揣摩不同词语、句子及篇章结构之间的联系。
【解题策略】
1. 明确说明对象,理清段落关系。
通读全文,明确作者是针对哪一个说明对象从不同的角度和侧面对其加以说明的。在阅读过程中要概括、总结每一段说明的侧重点,理清各段之间的关系,加深对说明对象的理解。
2. 弄清说明顺序,把握作者态度。
在说明的过程中作者会选择合理的说明顺序对说明对象进行解说。把握了说明顺序就能准确把握文章的脉络,加深对整篇文章的理解。常见的说明顺序有时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序(如因果关系、果因关系、先主后次等)和认识顺序(如由此及彼、由浅入深、由局部到整体、由现象到本质等)。另外,在理清作者思路的基础上,还要注意反映作者态度的关键词或关键句,把握作者的写作情感和意图。
【思维导图】
【逻辑关系】
1.因果关系
文中前后句之间是因果关系时,两句之间往往有表示原因和结果的关联词,如:because, so, as a result等;但是,有时两句之间却没有表示因果的信号词,这时前后句之间存在着一种隐性的因果关系。
(2019年全国卷1) Every year about 40000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. They __41 with them lots of waste. The 42 might damage the beauty of the place.
41.A. keep B. mix C. connect D. Bring
42.A. stories B. buildings C. crowds D. reporters
解析:这两道题可以通过三句话之间的隐性因果关系来解决。第一句说明每年约有四万人尝试攀登乞力马扎罗山,由于人数多,因此他们带来了大量垃圾;由于大量人群产生大量垃圾,所以破坏了这个地方的美景,因此41题选D,42选C。
2.条件关系
条件关系就是指从句提出一种条件,主句说明在这种条件下产生的结果。常见关联词有if, unless, on condition that等。
(2016年北京卷) The children of Nome would be _____37_____ if it (a deadly infectious disease mainly affecting children) struck the town. Dr. Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick.
37. A. harmless B. helpless C. fearless D. careless
解析:由从句条件推知主句结果。由 “如果这种(主要传染给孩子的致命的)疾病袭击了这个镇子”可推知,“Nome镇的孩子们就会很无助了”,故选B。
3.让步关系
一般说来,让步关联词分为介词类和连词类。介词类的让步关联词有despite,in spite of, regardless of等,连词类有though,although,as和while以及even if, even though等。
(2016年天津卷)Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us with her will and enthusiasm. _____33_____ skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart.”
33. A. Although B. Since C. Once D. Because
解析:由主句“the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart (然而,一个人拥有的最大财富是内心)”可推知空格所在句句意为“虽然或尽管技巧和天赋能带来巨大的成功”,故选A。
4.转折关系
当前后两句的逻辑关系为转折关系时,前句往往提出某种事实或情况,后句转而陈述与前句相反或相对的意思, 即后句才是说话人所要表达的真正意图。常见关联词:however, but, on the contrary等。
(2016年全国Ⅱ卷) We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, _____48_____ I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s accident.
48. A. and B. then C. but D. thus
解析:“我被命名为最有价值的运动员”与“我常做恶梦被责备”是转折关系,故选项C正确。
5.对比关系
当前后句的逻辑关系为对比关系时,两句在意义上应具有明显的差异,以便进行对照比较。常见关联词:while, whereas, not….. but, instead等。
(2017年新课标Ⅰ卷) The professor was deaf and any talking was prohibited. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant._____58_____, if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less.
58. A. Lastly B. Thus C. Instead D. However
解析:考查对比关系的关联词。 “I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant(我很快意识到安静不是不令人愉快的)”和“if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less(如果当时有口语交流,那只会造成我们学的手语更少)”是对比关系,故选C。
6.并列关系
在用并列连词and或not only…but also把两个互相独立的简单句连接而成的复合句中,前后句之间的逻辑关系为并列关系,既可以是同近义并列,也可以反义并列。解题时,可从一个简单句推知正确答案。
(2017年新课标Ⅱ卷) Freddy was an average student, but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情). He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s_____46_____.
46. A. misfortune B. disbelief C. dishonesty D. mistake
解析:根据并列连词and和前一分句中的fun以及46空前面的saddest不难判断:两分句之间的逻辑关系为并列关系,且是反义并列,故选A。
7.例证关系
解释关系是指一个句子对另一个句子、短语或单词进行解释或说明。解释的方法既可通过某些动词(mean, be和suggest等),也可通过某些符号(破折号,冒号和括号等),或者关联词(for example/instance, namely等)。 这里只讨论句子之间的解释关系。
(2017年北京卷)In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of _____51_____. For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the efforts of young people to change the world.
51. A. praises B. invitations C. replies D. appointments
解析:由for example可知,两句之间为解释关系。并且由后一句的句意“例如,她获得2007年度的BRICK Award大奖”可知,51空处应表示“奖励”,故选A。
8.时间关系
时间状语从句常由when, while, after, before, as soon as等引导。解题时一定要认真研究前后句之间的逻辑关系,结合语境推断出最佳选项。
(2017年江苏卷)In his first years of high school, Gabriel would look pityingly at music students, struggling across the campus with their heavy instrument cases,turning up at school for practice hours _____38_____ anyone else had to be there.
38. A. before B. after C. until D. since
解析:根据38空的前后句可知Gabriel不喜欢音乐,其中的一个原因就是学音乐的学生要比规定的到校时间早几个小时到校去练习音乐,故选A。

Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn’t. The same 50 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: 51 children said that they couldn’t 52 to her.
A number of 53 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 54 the questions and knew 55 what was asked of them. Their 56 to the questions reflected their true 57 that “I can see you only if you can see me, too.” They simply 58 mutual (相互的) recognition and regard.

(2015·广东·高考真题)How long can human beings live? Most scientists who study old age think that the human body is 1 to live no longer than 120 years. However, 110 years is probably the longest that anyone could hope to live — if he or she is 2 healthy and lucky. Some scientists even say we can live as long as 130 years!

(2013·广东·高考真题)Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 , in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 , experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 . It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.
How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.

主题语境包含人与社会、人与自我、人与自然,体裁以记叙文为主,说明文和夹叙夹议文为辅。文章要求考生在正确理解语篇主旨大意的同时,注重揣摩不同词语、句子及篇章结构之间的联系。
【解题策略】
1. 明确说明对象,理清段落关系。
通读全文,明确作者是针对哪一个说明对象从不同的角度和侧面对其加以说明的。在阅读过程中要概括、总结每一段说明的侧重点,理清各段之间的关系,加深对说明对象的理解。
2. 弄清说明顺序,把握作者态度。
在说明的过程中作者会选择合理的说明顺序对说明对象进行解说。把握了说明顺序就能准确把握文章的脉络,加深对整篇文章的理解。常见的说明顺序有时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序(如因果关系、果因关系、先主后次等)和认识顺序(如由此及彼、由浅入深、由局部到整体、由现象到本质等)。另外,在理清作者思路的基础上,还要注意反映作者态度的关键词或关键句,把握作者的写作情感和意图。

Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 . It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.
How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.

(24-25高三上·辽宁·期末)How to Avoid Raising a Spoiled Child
In the now classic scene from the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, a little girl stamps her foot and 1 , “I want an Oompa Loompa now! ” as her father hurries to get her one. The more everyday version is that the child loses 2 at the grocery checkout line, stamping and yelling to get candy. Other customers shake their heads or 3 their eyes as they watch the 4 parent grab a candy bar off the shelf and hand it to the child.
We can call such behavior 5 , over loved or entitled. Whatever the term, children who learn that their tantrums (发怒) and demands can get them what they want can 6 not only running the family as teens but also struggling in their relationships as 7 . Believing the world moves around them leaves others seeing them as self-centered, demanding and 8 of others. They are often in 9 at work, and their home life creates constant conflicts or leaves everyone walking on 10 .

And when your child doesn’t have a tantrum at the checkout, when she is acting 12 , it’s time to get out the balloons and confetti (五彩纸屑). The danger with always 13 and providing little reward is that the child learns to seek 14 attention, which for a child is better than no attention at all. Building in 15 quality time half an hour before bedtime or a(n) weekend outing with a teen does the same magic.

However, sometimes, the more productive we are the more 2 we might be. Be 3 about a phenomenon called the “productivity trap (陷阱)”. Believe it or not, we would do far better to 4 if we are to make the most of our life.
Surprisingly, 5 brings anxiety. Consider a basic goal, such as improving your email response.

But each email you send brings further 7 and more work to complete. 8 , the messages pile up again.
Psychologists suggest trying “have done list”, the 9 of the “to do list”. Instead of starting out 10 each morning, “have done list” fills up with tasks you completed yesterday. It gives you a greater sense of 11 by recording your workload rather than stressing things you have yet to 12 .
Avoiding the productivity trap does not mean 13 tasks on purpose or working less efficiently. Instead, it’s about finding a balance between personal efficiency and 14 . It means planning tasks carefully and setting realistic goals, while also giving yourself enough time to 15 after working hard.

Trends come and go. Many goods that people buy to 1 fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now young American people are giving these things a second 2 .
Called “Stoopers (旧物猎人)”, they pick up idle (闲置的) goods and 3 them. They are mainly in big cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Anne Brown, 27, is one of them. Anne first stooped in June 2022 when many residents in a community left their 4 on the street after they moved house. After that, she often “ 5 treasures” in her free time. Now her small apartment holds things redesigned from the idle goods she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing.
“Though many people say stooping is like collecting 6 , for me, it’s making the best of things,” the 27-year-old digital marketer said. That’s why she wanted to 7 the trend to others. Whenever she spots goods that are 8 used and she doesn’t need them, Anne puts a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them and then posts pictures of them on her social media accounts to 9 others to pick them up.
Influenced by stoopers like Anne, 16-year-old Carmen Smith from a high school in Houston fell in love with stooping. The 10 of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is what attracts her most. She said since her childhood, her family, who came from India, has often told stories about how past generations 11 the period during which goods were in 12 shortage. “Frugality (节俭) has always been a traditional virtue in India,” Carmen said. Despite this, Carmen admitted that many teenagers, including herself, are sometimes 13 consumption, leading to significant waste. This realization urged her to start stooping this year.
Carmen added that the first time she used paper from books 14 by students on campus to make paper roses, she felt excited. “During the process of stooping, I start to observe my surroundings, which I had 15 taken for granted (想当然),” she said.
