◆敲黑板 第2题用了比喻的修辞手法。
高考这样考
1.He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he (suffer) from terrible back pain. (2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)
答案与解析 suffered 空处在定语从句中作谓语,且时间状语是20 years ago, 故谓语用一般过去时,填suffered。
2.Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s (suffer) so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. (2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)
答案与解析 suffering 空处作宾语,且空前是名词所有格,故填名词,结合语境“减轻狗的痛苦”可知,此处填名词suffering。
3.I bought a desk and asked for it (deliver) to my house this Friday. (2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)
答案与解析 to be delivered ask for sth. to be done “要求……被做……”,deliver与it是动宾关系,故此处用不定式的被动语态,填to be delivered。
4.You choose which (long) you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story. (2024·新课标Ⅱ卷)
答案与解析 length 空处作宾语,结合语境“选择你想要的长度”可指,此处应用名词,填length。
5.If I ever get (trap) outside my house again, my local telephone box will, (sad), no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife (rescue) me. (2024·浙江高考1月)
答案与解析 trapped; sadly; to rescue 第一空作表语,表“被困的”,填trapped;第二空作状语,应用副词,填sadly;第三空作状语,表目的,应用不定式,填to rescue。
词缀记忆法 名词后缀-th表示性质、状态、动作或结果等

②Beyond the act of planting, sowing seeds is a powerful (power) symbol of investing in the future, where patience and care bring forth abundant rewards.

微写作 续写尾句主旨升华
他母亲说得对:永远不要低估改变的力量,一个简单的举动就能产生巨大的影响。
④His mother was right: Never underestimate the power of change and one simple act can make a huge difference.

2.易用混的“影响”effect和affect
用affect/effect的正确形式填空
①One of them is about how the most accessible information in the present affects decisions about the future. (2023·北京高考)
②More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a effect on the risk of dementia. (2022·浙江高考)

微写作 仿效第④小题写句

⑥She rested her chin in her hands, and looked back on those days with affection and gratitude.
◆敲黑板 ①be deeply/greatly affected by... 被……深深打动; be affected with ... 染上……疾病; ②show/have/feel much/an affection for ... (非常)喜欢……,(非常)喜爱……; ③have an effect on ... 对……有影响
3.容易写错的以-y结尾的动词形式变化

4.续写亮词——动词flood和sweep

①Mary felt a wave of anger sweep over/flood over her (一阵愤怒).
②A wave/burst of panic swept over/flooded over her (她感到一阵惊慌), but she forced herself to leave the room calmly.
③Bitter memories came flooding back (痛苦的回忆涌上心头) when he drove by the bridge.
◆敲黑板 a burst/wave/sense/feeling of+表情感状态的名词+flood/sweep over+sb.,表“某人感到……”
Ⅰ.词形转换和动词形式变化
1.Locally produced tea, herbs and milk products are sold nationwide through the express (deliver) network.
答案与解析 delivery 空处修饰名词network,结合语境“快递网络”可知,此处指运输,应用名词作定语,填delivery。
2.Depending on what those goals are, there might be a number of ways to achieve them that (be) more (effect), more fun, more convenient.
答案与解析 are; effective 句意:根据目标的不同,可能会有一些更有效、更有趣、更方便的方法来实现这些目标。第一空作从句谓语,先行词是a number of ways,谓语用复数,故填are;第二空为形容词形式,和下文“fun、convenient”并列,作表语,故填effective。
练通a number of/the number of的易错点
①With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. (2023·全国乙卷)
②Thousands of people are still missing, and the number of deaths is expected (expect) to grow even higher over the next few days.
③A number of houses were destroyed (destroy) in the explosion, leaving the public extremely shocked.
◆敲黑板 a number of 意为“许多的”,后接复数名词作主语时,谓语用复数形式。 the number of 意为“……的数量”,其后接复数名词,谓语用单数形式。
3.Illegal land reclamation (开垦) of tea mountains and the (destroy) of plant resources have occurred frequently, (damage) the environment in the area around Mount Wuyi.
答案与解析 destruction; damaging 句意:非法开垦茶山和对植物资源的破坏经常发生,毁坏了武夷山一带的环境。第一空作主语,空前是定冠词the, 空后是介词of,故空处填名词destruction; 分析句子可知,第二空为句子的结果状语,应用现在分词表自然而然的结果,故填damaging。
4.Shadow play, a conventional form of theatrical entertainment, (survive) for centuries.
答案与解析 has survived 根据“for centuries”可知,本句为现在完成时,主语为单数,谓语用单数,故填has survived。
5.There are idioms, and cultural references that require human interpretation and (context) understanding.
答案与解析 contextual 空处作定语,修饰名词understanding, 应用形容词,表“与上下文有关的;与语境相关的”,填contextual。
6.I had a (disaster) experience in Barcelona. The place didn’t look anything like the photos. The accommodation was rather expensive.

7.Bringing the (calm) of nature indoors throughout the seasons, real wood floors are an ideal way of introducing warmth, pattern and character in a sustainable way. (Reader’s Digest)
答案与解析 calmness 空处作宾语,且空前是定冠词the,故填名词,此处表“大自然的平静”,填calmness。
Ⅱ.串记一词多义,推测合成词汇
一词多义(strike)
a.撞;碰;撞击;碰撞 b.突然想到 c.划(火柴);击出(火星) d.敲;鸣;报时 e.侵袭;爆发 f.给(某人以……)印象
1.A terrible tsunami ①struck the city. Due to the power failure, the famous athlete had to ②strike a match to light a candle. But she almost ③struck her head on the edge of the table.

合成词汇
2.From a classic viewpoint, enjoy Lower Falls, the Yellowstone River, and the breathtaking colors of the canyon (峡谷) while learning about the area’s natural and human history. (2023·新课标Ⅱ卷阅读)
答案与解析 激动人心的;令人赞叹的 breath(呼吸)+take (带走)+-ing→能够带走人呼吸的→breathtaking adj. 激动人心的;令人赞叹的。take one’s breath away “令人惊叹; 让人叹绝”。
Ⅲ.固定用法和搭配
