高考学考英语完形填空作为综合性语言运用题型,核心考查考生在语篇语境中对词汇、语法、语用知识的灵活运用能力,以及逻辑思维与文化认知水平。该题型要求考生不仅能掌握《普通高中英语课程标准》规定的 3500 个左右核心词汇及相关固定搭配、习惯用法,还需具备根据上下文线索推断词义、理解句间逻辑关系(如因果、转折、让步等)的能力,最终实现对语篇整体意义的准确把握,体现 “语言知识为基、语篇理解为本” 的考查理念。
从能力层级来看,完形填空注重分层考查不同维度的语言素养:基础层面要求考生能识别并运用词性转换、固定短语等基础语言知识,确保语法结构与语义表达的准确性;进阶层面强调语篇逻辑分析能力,需考生通过上下文语境(如情节发展、人物情感变化、作者态度倾向)推断空格处的最佳选项,避免孤立理解单个句子;高阶层面则渗透文化意识考查,选材常涉及中外文化背景、社会生活场景或价值观导向内容,要求考生结合文化常识理解语篇内涵,体现语言学习与文化认知的融合。
在选材与设空设计上,完形填空遵循 “贴近生活、难易适中、注重素养” 的原则。选材多为记叙文、夹叙夹议文(偶见说明文),篇幅控制在 250-300 词左右,文本主题积极向上,兼具教育意义与可读性,如成长感悟、亲情友情、社会热点、文化习俗等;设空分布均匀,避免集中在某一局部段落,且空格多为实词(名词、动词、形容词、副词占比约 80%),虚词(连词、介词等)为辅,既考查词汇辨析与搭配能力,又通过虚词设空检验语篇逻辑衔接能力,确保考查内容全面覆盖语言知识与语用能力,符合高考对 “基础性、综合性、应用性” 的考查要求。
一、词汇理解与辨析类考点
该类考点在高考英语完形填空中占比最高(超 80%),聚焦实词在语境中的精准运用,是考生必须攻克的核心板块。细分来看,其包含近义词区分、形近词辨别和一词多义三种类型:
命题要点
近义词区分:命题人常将语义相近但情感色彩、使用场景、搭配习惯存在细微差异的词汇作为选项,例如 “journey”“trip”“travel”“voyage” 等表示 “旅行” 的词汇,需要考生依据语境精准判断。
形近词辨别:通过拼写相似但词义截然不同的单词制造干扰,如 “adapt(适应)” 与 “adopt(收养;采纳)” ,这类题目着重考查考生的词汇辨析能力与细心程度。
一词多义:选取具有多个释义的高频词,结合上下文设置考点,像 “book” 除了常见的 “书” 的含义,在 “book a ticket” 中意为 “预订” 。考生需突破思维定式,结合具体语境挖掘词汇的深层含义。
1. 近义词区分
在高考英语完形填空中,近义词的辨析是一大难点,它侧重对词性差异或语义侧重的辨别,考生需结合语法功能与语境精准选择。这类题目旨在考查学生对词汇细微差别的理解,以及在实际语境中运用词汇的能力。
【示例分析】
The teachers then ___ my singing skills and asked what role I wanted to play.
A. advertised B. tested C. challenged D. polished
解析:从句子所处的 “面试场景” 语境分析,老师们对 “我” 的歌唱技能进行评估,“test”(测试)一词能准确体现这一行为,符合语义逻辑。“advertise”(宣传)通常用于推广产品、服务或理念,与老师评估学生能力的场景不匹配;“challenge”(挑战)强调提出难题或进行对抗性活动,放在此处语义不通;“polish”(打磨)虽有提升、完善的意思,但在该语境下,老师是先判断能力,而非直接进行打磨提升,所以其余选项均不合适。此外,这类近义词辨析题还常涉及动词、形容词等词性,比如 “effective” 和 “efficient”,前者强调有效果,后者侧重有效率,做题时一定要关注词性及语境需求。
2. 形近词辨别
高考英语完形填空中,形近词辨别是容易让考生掉入陷阱的考点。这类题目需要考生时刻保持警惕,因为这些词汇拼写相似,但含义却完全不同,稍不留意就会选错。在复习过程中,考生可以通过制作形近词对比表格的方式,加深对词汇的记忆与区分。
【示例分析】
She had to ___ to the new environment after moving to the city.
A. adapt B. adopt C. adept D. adore
解析:“adapt” 是不及物动词,常见搭配 “adapt to”,意为 “适应”,在 “适应新环境” 这一语境中使用恰当。“adopt” 是及物动词,意思是 “收养;采纳”,如 “adopt a child”(收养孩子)、“adopt a plan”(采纳计划),与句子语境不符;“adept” 是形容词,意为 “熟练的、擅长的”,常用 “be adept at/in” 结构,词性和含义都不符合本题要求;“adore” 是及物动词,意为 “爱慕、崇拜”,也无法表达 “适应环境” 的语义,所以后三个选项均因含义不符被排除。考生在遇到形近词题目时,可先从词性入手,再结合词义和语境进行判断。
3. 一词多义
一词多义是高考英语完形填空的高频考点,同一词汇在不同语境中含义差异显著,这就要求考生必须依托上下文进行细致推断。很多时候,考生对某个单词的常见释义非常熟悉,但在特定语境中,该单词会呈现出不常用的含义,这就需要考生灵活运用知识,准确把握词汇在具体语境中的语义。
【示例分析】
We had decided on key items for the ___ we were moving to in town.
A. hotel B. office C. cottage D. apartment
解析:本题解题的关键在于对后文线索的捕捉,“sit in my apartment today” 明确给出了提示,说明要搬去的地方是 “apartment”(公寓)。同时,结合 “item” 在此处指的是搬家物品,“hotel” 通常是临时居住场所,一般不会特意为其选定搬家物品;“office” 是办公地点,与日常生活中的搬家物品关联不大;“cottage”(小屋)在文中未提及相关信息,从上下文语境连贯性和语义合理性角度判断,“apartment” 为最佳选项。面对一词多义的题目,考生要像侦探一样,在文章中寻找蛛丝马迹,通过上下文确定词汇的确切含义。
二、语法结构类考点
考查基础语法在语境中的灵活运用,核心涉及非谓语动词、从句引导词和时态一致三大方向。
在非谓语动词的考查中,命题者常将过去分词、现在分词和动词不定式置于复杂语境,要求考生依据句子逻辑主语与动作的主被动关系、时间先后顺序精准判断。例如,当动作与逻辑主语构成主动关系且强调正在进行时,现在分词往往是正确选择;若存在被动关系,则需选用过去分词。
从句引导词的考点主要围绕定语从句、名词性从句和状语从句展开。考生需仔细辨别从句类型,分析引导词在从句中充当的成分。在定语从句里,关系代词(that, which, who 等)和关系副词(where, when, why 等)的选择取决于其在从句中作主语、宾语还是状语;名词性从句中,what、whether、if 等引导词的使用需根据句子语义和成分需求来确定。
时态一致的考查着重于上下文时态的连贯性。高考题目常通过多个动作的先后顺序、时间状语提示等方式,检验考生对一般现在时、一般过去时、现在完成时等多种时态的理解与运用能力,要求考生确保整个语篇时态逻辑严密,避免出现时态矛盾的情况。
1. 非谓语动词
非谓语动词作为高考完形填空中的高频考点,需要考生精准判断其在句子中的逻辑关系,进而选择合适的形式。其中,to do 形式通常表示目的、将来或具体的一次性动作;doing 形式表示主动、进行或经常性、习惯性动作;done 形式则强调被动、完成的状态 。
【示例分析】
The project, ___ by setbacks, was completed ahead of schedule.
解析:过去分词 "marked" 表被动完成,说明项目 "被挫折标记",符合逻辑。在该句中,“marked by setbacks” 作为后置定语修饰 “the project”,体现项目在完成前遭受挫折的被动完成状态,同时要注意与现在分词短语作定语(表主动、进行)的区分。例如,“The boy standing under the tree”(站在树下的男孩),“standing” 就表示主动且正在进行的动作。
2. 从句引导词
从句引导词的选择在高考完形填空中,主要涉及定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句等,考生必须准确判断从句的性质,并理清其与主句之间的逻辑关系。
【示例分析】
I was reading a book in the classroom when there was an ___.
A. which B. when C. that D. where
解析:"when" 引导时间状语从句,表 "正在此时",符合 "be doing...when..." 固定句式结构。这种结构中,“when” 并非表示常规的 “当…… 时候”,而是强调 “突然”。此外,在定语从句中,关系代词 “which”“that” 在从句中作主语或宾语,“where” 在从句中作地点状语,与本题情况不同。比如,“This is the house where I lived last year”(这是我去年住的房子),“where” 指代地点在从句中作状语;“The book which/that I bought yesterday is interesting”(我昨天买的那本书很有趣),“which/that” 在从句中作宾语,通过对比能更好掌握不同引导词的用法。
3. 时态与语态
时态与语态的判断在完形填空中,需要考生结合句中的时间线索,如时间状语、上下文语境等,同时分析动作之间的先后关系和主被动关系。被动语态的核心在于强调动作的承受者,而不是执行者。
【示例分析】
By the time we arrived, the performance ___ already ___.
A. has; started B. had; started C. will; start D. was; starting
解析:"by the time" 引导的过去时间点前发生的动作,需用过去完成时 "had started"。“by the time” 后接过去时间时,主句常用过去完成时,表示 “到…… 时候为止,已经……”;若后接将来时间,主句常用将来完成时,如 “By the time you come back, I will have finished the work”(到你回来的时候,我将已经完成工作)。此外,判断语态时,要分析主语和动词之间的关系,例如 “The bridge was built last year”(这座桥去年被建造),“bridge” 是动作 “build” 的承受者,所以用被动语态。
三、逻辑关系类考点
通过关联词考查对文章句间、段间逻辑的把握,这是高考英语完形填空的高频考点,涵盖转折、因果、并列等核心关系。转折关系常通过 however、but、yet 等词,揭示前后语义的反转,如前文描述困难重重,后文用 however 引出意外转机;因果关系借助 because、so、therefore 等词,建立事件的前因后果联系,像因天气恶劣,so 活动被迫取消;并列关系则依靠 and、or、both...and... 等词,呈现同等重要的信息,例如列举多种兴趣爱好时用 and 连接。这些关联词如同文章的 “隐形脉络”,考生需精准捕捉,才能理清文本逻辑,选出契合语境的答案。
1. 转折关系
转折关系在完形填空中是高频考点,其本质是通过标志词构建语义对立,核心标志词包含but、however、nevertheless。考生需重点关注:转折词前后的情感色彩是否相反,动作或状态是否矛盾,常见干扰项会设置语义相近但逻辑关系不符的词汇。
【示例分析】
The theory seemed perfect, nevertheless no one could reproduce it.
解析:"nevertheless" 作为强转折词,将 "理论完美" 的正向描述与 "无法重现" 的负向结果形成鲜明对比,体现理论表象与实际可行性的矛盾。解题时需警惕类似 "therefore(因果)""moreover(递进)" 等逻辑混淆词。
2. 因果关系
因果关系考查考生对事件逻辑链的理解,包含原因→结果和结果→原因两种推理方向。核心标志词有because、so、thus、due to、consequently等。选项设计常围绕事件的直接关联性,错误选项可能是时间顺序相近但无因果的干扰项。
【示例分析】
Melanie Bailey should have finished the course earlier than she did. Her ____ came because she was carrying a competitor across the finish line.
A. delay(符合因果逻辑,"背着对手过终点" 导致 "赛程延误")
B. chance(机会,与原因无直接关联)
C. trouble(麻烦,语义宽泛缺乏针对性)
D. excuse(借口,与原文积极语境不符)
解析:"because" 明确因果关系,解题关键在于找到与 "should have finished earlier" 形成因果呼应的词汇,同时注意时态一致性(过去式 came 对应过去发生的原因)。
3. 并列关系
并列关系用于连接语义对等、结构相似的成分,常见标志词包括and、or、as well as、not only...but also等。该类题目常涉及词性一致性、语义同类性两个考查维度,需特别注意平行结构中冠词、介词等虚词的复用规则。
【示例分析】
She is not only good at playing the piano but also ____ in painting.
A. skilled(形容词,与 "good" 词性一致,构成 "be skilled in" 固定搭配)
B. skill(名词,词性不符)
C. skillfully(副词,修饰动词,与语境不符)
D. skills(名词复数,无法与 "be...in" 搭配)
解析:"not only...but also" 作为并列连词,要求前后结构严格平行,此处需选择与 "good" 词性、功能均匹配的形容词,形成 "be + adj. + 介词短语" 的平行结构。
四、固定搭配与语境推断类考点
在英语高考中,完形填空不仅是对词汇和语法的考查,更是对语言综合运用能力的检验。前者侧重积累习惯表达,后者依赖上下文线索推理,是完形填空的核心能力要求。所谓习惯表达,涵盖固定搭配(如 take pride in、make progress)、习语(kick the bucket 表示 “去世”)、口语化表达(no-brainer 指 “无需动脑的事”)等,这些内容需要考生通过长期阅读和语境积累形成语感;而上下文推理则要求考生具备逻辑分析能力,通过寻找指代关系(it/they 对应前文名词)、因果连词(therefore/however)、时间线索(firstly/meanwhile)以及情感色彩一致性,对空缺处进行精准判断。这两项能力相辅相成,既需要扎实的语言基本功,也离不开灵活的语篇分析技巧,共同构成了解题的关键钥匙。
1. 固定搭配
固定搭配作为高考英语完形填空中的高频考点,着重考查考生对常用短语和习语的掌握程度。这类考点涵盖动词短语、介词短语和习语,这些表达具有整体性,不能随意拆分或替换其中的词汇。在解题时,考生不仅要熟悉短语本身的含义,还要结合句子语境判断其是否适用。
【示例分析】
Burchill was ___ at the hotel on business and planning to visit some friends.
A. studying B. staying C. looking D. packing
解析:在该句中,“stay at the hotel” 是一个典型的固定搭配,意为 “入住酒店”,这与句子中 “on business”(因公出差)的商务场景语义高度契合。选项 A “studying”(学习)、C “looking”(看)、D “packing”(打包),与 “at the hotel” 搭配时,均无法表达出合理的语义,因此正确答案为 B。此外,类似的固定搭配还有 “check in at the hotel”(办理酒店入住)、“check out of the hotel”(办理酒店退房)等,考生在备考时应加强积累。
2. 语境推断
语境推断类题目旨在考查考生对文章整体逻辑和细节信息的把握能力。在解答这类题目时,考生需要关注文章中的复现词、情感线索、逻辑关系词等隐含信息,通过上下文的相互印证来确定答案。这类题目往往需要考生跳出单个句子的限制,立足全文逻辑进行分析。
【示例分析】
I started getting really nervous. What if I didn’t get a main role? Soon, the cast list was ___. My friends checked and came back shouting, “Amy, you got the main role!”
A. traded B. posted C. questioned D. claimed
解析:在这个语境中,关键线索是 “checked”(查看),只有当演员表被 “posted”(张贴)出来,朋友们才能够去查看,该选项符合上下文逻辑。而选项 A “traded”(交易),与演员表的发布毫无关联;选项 C “questioned”(质疑),代入句子后语义不通;选项 D “claimed”(宣称),也无法与 “checked” 形成合理的逻辑关系,因此均被排除。此外,考生在面对此类题目时,还应注意一些常见的情感线索词,如 “excited”“disappointed”“surprised” 等,这些词能够帮助我们快速把握作者或文中人物的情感态度,从而更好地理解语境。
五、情感态度类考点
情感态度类考点在高考完形填空中虽占比不及词汇类,但直接影响对语篇主旨的理解,常通过形容词、副词、动词等体现人物情绪或作者观点,需结合语境判断情感倾向(积极、消极、中性),避免因忽略情感线索选错答案。
这类题目中,选项往往是情感色彩鲜明的词汇,如 “delighted(高兴的)”“frustrated(沮丧的)”“calm(平静的)” 等。解题时需关注文中人物的动作、语言、环境描写等细节,比如 “she smiled brightly” 暗示积极情感,“he sighed heavily” 则可能体现消极情绪,通过这些线索锁定与情感倾向一致的选项。
1. 人物情绪判断
聚焦文中人物在特定场景下的情绪变化,选项多为描述情绪的形容词或动词,需结合动作、对话、环境等线索推断,避免仅凭词汇表面含义选择。在实际解题中,人物的微表情、心理活动描写以及场景氛围营造,都是判断情绪的重要依据。
【示例分析】
When I saw my painting displayed in the school gallery, I felt so ___ that I couldn’t help smiling.
A. nervous B. proud C. confused D. tired
解析:从 “couldn’t help smiling”(忍不住笑)这一动作线索可判断,人物情绪是积极的。“proud”(自豪的)符合积极情感倾向;“nervous”(紧张的)、“confused”(困惑的)、“tired”(疲惫的)均为消极或中性情绪,与 “微笑” 的动作矛盾,因此排除。此外,类似的情绪线索还有 “tears of joy”(喜悦的泪水)暗示开心,“clenched fists”(紧握的拳头)可能体现愤怒或紧张,需重点关注。比如在某些文本中,人物突然加快的脚步、颤抖的声音,也能辅助判断其紧张、激动等情绪。部分文章还会通过环境描写烘托情绪,如 “阴沉的天空” 暗示压抑,“阳光洒满房间” 营造愉悦氛围。
2. 作者观点倾向
考查作者对事件、人物的态度,选项常为具有评价性的形容词或副词(如 “valuable(有价值的)”“unfair(不公平的)”),需通过作者的用词、语气及对事件的描述逻辑判断观点倾向。作者在文章中表达观点时,除了直接的情感词汇,还会通过对比、举例等论证方式来强化态度。
【示例分析】
The volunteer activity not only helped those in need but also taught us important life lessons. It was truly a ___ experience for everyone involved.
A. meaningless B. painful C. rewarding D. boring
解析:作者用 “not only helped...but also taught...” 强调志愿活动的积极作用,体现肯定态度。“rewarding”(有意义的、有益的)符合作者的积极观点;“meaningless”(无意义的)、“painful”(痛苦的)、“boring”(无聊的)均为消极评价,与作者对活动的正面描述相悖。解题时,若文中出现 “fortunately(幸运地)”“unluckily(不幸地)” 等副词,也可直接判断作者的态度倾向。此外,当作者使用 “in my opinion”“from my perspective” 等表达时,往往会直接引出观点;而 “on the contrary”“while” 等词连接的内容,则可能通过对比展现观点差异。比如在描述两种不同的教育方式时,作者可能会用 “effective” 与 “ineffective” 等词汇形成鲜明对比,以此表明自己的态度。
六、文化背景类考点
高考完形填空偶尔会涉及英语国家的文化习俗、生活常识(如节日、社交礼仪、生活习惯等),这类题目需结合文化背景知识辅助判断,若缺乏相关认知,易因文化差异导致理解偏差。
文化背景类题目常隐藏在场景描述中,比如涉及 “Thanksgiving(感恩节)” 会关联 “turkey(火鸡)”“family gathering(家庭聚会)”;涉及 “restaurant etiquette(餐厅礼仪)” 会提到 “tip(小费)”“reservation(预订)”。复习时需积累常见的英语国家文化常识,避免因文化盲区选错答案。
1. 生活习俗场景
围绕英语国家的日常生活习惯(如饮食、交通、社交等)设置考点,需结合文化常识判断符合场景的行为或事物。在这类题目中,命题人常常利用中西方文化差异制造干扰项,考生既要熟悉西方社会的基础生活规范,也要善于从语境中捕捉关键线索。
【示例分析】
In many Western countries, it’s common to give a ___ to the waiter after dining in a restaurant as a way to show appreciation for good service.
A. gift B. tip C. card D. flower
解析:在西方餐饮文化中,“给服务员小费” 是约定俗成的社交礼仪,通常小费金额为账单总额的 15%-20%,“tip”(小费)正是这一文化现象的精准表达。相比之下,“gift”(礼物)常用于私人关系或特殊场合,“card”(卡片)和 “flower”(花)虽然也能传递感谢,但不符合餐厅消费的常规答谢形式。此外,类似的生活习俗还有 “driving on the left side(靠左行驶)” 是英国、澳大利亚等英联邦国家的交通规则,需注意与美国等靠右行驶国家的差异;“shaking hands when meeting(见面握手)” 虽是通用社交礼仪,但在北欧部分地区,更流行简单点头示意。备考时,可整理典型生活场景的文化对比表格,如餐桌礼仪、日常问候用语等,强化跨文化意识。
2. 节日文化场景
结合英语国家的传统节日(如圣诞节、万圣节、复活节等)设置考点,选项常与节日相关的事物、活动匹配,需依托节日文化知识判断。这类题目往往通过营造节日氛围的描述,考查考生对节日核心元素的熟悉程度,尤其注重对节日专属符号和仪式的识别。
【示例分析】
At Christmas, families in Western countries usually decorate a ___ with lights, ornaments and gifts to celebrate the holiday.
A. Christmas tree B. birthday cake C. lantern D. mooncake
解析:“装饰圣诞树” 是圣诞节最具代表性的传统之一,起源于 16 世纪的德国,如今已成为全球圣诞节的标志性符号。而 “birthday cake”(生日蛋糕)属于个人庆生场景;“lantern”(灯笼)在中国文化中象征团圆喜庆,常见于元宵节、中秋节;“mooncake”(月饼)更是中秋节阖家团圆的象征,均与圣诞节文化内核不符。值得注意的是,部分题目还会涉及节日的深层寓意,例如复活节彩蛋象征重生,感恩节火鸡代表丰收。复习时,可按时间轴梳理节日脉络,整理每个节日的起源故事、特色食物、传统活动及标志性符号,例如万圣节除 “pumpkin lanterns(南瓜灯)”“trick-or-treat(不给糖就捣蛋)” 外,还需注意 “costume party(化妆舞会)” 等衍生习俗,提升答题准确性。
七、语篇衔接类考点
语篇衔接类考点聚焦文章的整体性与连贯性,通过代词指代、词汇复现、逻辑连接等方式实现句间、段间的衔接,需准确把握上下文的关联,避免因忽略衔接线索导致语义断裂。
这类题目中,代词(it, they, this, that 等)的指代对象常需从前文寻找;词汇复现(原词复现、同义复现)可帮助锁定与前文语义一致的选项;逻辑连接则需结合前文提到的转折、因果等关系,确保衔接自然。
1. 代词指代判断
考查代词(人称代词、指示代词等)所指代的对象,需在前文寻找对应的名词或句子,确保指代明确、语义连贯。代词在句中主要起到避免重复、连接上下文的作用,因此判断其指代对象时,不仅要关注词性、单复数,还要考虑逻辑关系和语境含义。
在实际考试中,代词指代的干扰项往往会设置与前文出现过的人物或事物相关的词汇,增加迷惑性。解题时,可采用 “三步定位法”:首先,确定代词在句中的语法功能(如主语、宾语等);其次,回溯前文,圈定可能的指代对象;最后,将选项代入原文,通过语义连贯性和逻辑合理性进行验证。
【示例分析】
Lisa bought a new book yesterday. She spent the whole evening reading ___ because the story was so interesting.
A. it B. her C. him D. them
解析:代词 “it” 指代前文提到的单数名词 “a new book”,符合指代逻辑;“her”(她的 / 她)、“him”(他)指代人,与 “book”(事物)不符;“them” 指代复数名词,而 “book” 是单数,因此排除。此外,考生需注意,若句中出现多个可能的指代对象,需结合句子的核心内容判断。例如,若句中同时出现人物和事物,代词优先指代离其更近、逻辑关联更强的对象。解题时,若代词指代不明,可先确定前文出现的名词单复数、指代对象(人 / 事物),再匹配选项。
2. 词汇复现衔接
通过原词、同义词、近义词的重复出现,实现语篇衔接,解题时需关注前文出现的词汇,寻找与空缺处语义一致的复现词。词汇复现是英语语篇构建的重要手段,分为直接复现和间接复现两种类型。直接复现指原词重复,间接复现则涵盖同义替换、上下义词关联(如 “apple” 与 “fruit”)、反义词对比(如 “hot” 与 “cold”)等形式。这些复现方式能够帮助作者在不重复用词的情况下,保持文意的连贯性和逻辑性。
在解题过程中,考生需要建立 “上下文语义关联” 的意识。遇到填空时,不要仅关注选项本身,而是要快速扫描前文,寻找语义线索。有时,复现词可能隐藏在段落的主题句、过渡句或细节描述中,需要考生具备一定的文本敏感度。同时,要警惕干扰项中形似但语义不符的词汇,避免因惯性思维误选。
【示例分析】
The old man loved gardening. Every morning, he would go to his small ___ to water the flowers and vegetables he planted.
A. kitchen B. garden C. bedroom D. office
解析:前文提到 “loved gardening(热爱园艺)”,“garden(花园)” 是 “gardening” 的相关复现词,符合 “浇水、种花草蔬菜” 的场景;“kitchen(厨房)”、“bedroom(卧室)”、“office(办公室)” 均与 “园艺” 无关,因此排除。此外,若遇到选项中无原词复现的情况,可考虑同义替换,如前文出现 “begin”,后文填空处可能用 “start”;或根据上下文逻辑选择上下义词,如前文提及 “bird”,后文填空处可用 “eagle” 作为具体例子。词汇复现不仅包括原词,还可能是同义替换(如前文 “happy”,后文用 “delighted”),需灵活识别。
八、语义辨析进阶类考点
该类考点是词汇类考查的深化,聚焦 “近义词在特定语境中的精准适配”,不仅要求区分词义,更需结合场景的情感强度、动作程度、搭配对象等细节判断,是拉开分数差距的关键题型。常见细分方向包括情感强度差异、动作精准度区分、抽象与具体语义辨别三类。
1. 情感强度差异
选项为语义相近但情感浓度不同的词汇(如 “like”“love”“adore”),需根据语境中人物的行为、语气判断情感强度,避免 “程度过轻” 或 “过度夸张” 的选项。这类题目常通过副词(如 “deeply”“slightly”)、语气词(如 “really”“even”)或场景描述(如 “lifelong”“momentary”)暗示情感量级。
【示例分析】
After raising her for 10 years, the old lady ___ her pet cat more than anything else in the world.
A. liked B. loved C. admired D. favored
解析:“for 10 years”“more than anything else” 明确体现 “极致的情感”,“loved”(深爱)符合强度需求;“liked”(喜欢)程度过轻,无法匹配 “十年陪伴” 与 “胜过一切” 的语境;“admired”(敬佩)多用于对人的品格、能力的赞赏,不适用宠物;“favored”(偏爱)侧重 “相对其他选择的偏好”,而非绝对的深厚情感,因此排除。解题时可标记 “情感强度提示词”,如 “extremely”“hardly”“only” 等,辅助判断选项量级。
2. 动作精准度区分
选项为语义相关但动作细节不同的动词(如 “walk”“stroll”“march”),需结合动作的目的、姿态、场景判断 “最精准的动作描述”。这类题目常隐含动作的 “主动性 / 被动性”“速度 / 节奏”“目的性 / 随意性” 等细节线索。
【示例分析】
The soldiers ___ neatly along the street to celebrate the national day, with their heads held high.
A. walked B. strolled C. marched D. ran
解析:“soldiers”“neatly”“heads held high” 指向 “有组织、有纪律的行进”,“marched”(列队行进)精准匹配军事场景的动作特征;“walked”(走)过于宽泛,未体现 “整齐” 与 “纪律性”;“strolled”(闲逛)强调 “随意、缓慢”,与士兵的庄重姿态矛盾;“ran”(跑)则不符合 “庆祝游行” 的平稳场景,因此排除。解题时可梳理 “动作场景对应表”,如 “医院场景” 常用 “treat”“examine”,“学校场景” 常用 “teach”“explain”,强化动作与场景的绑定记忆。
3. 抽象与具体语义辨别
选项为一组 “抽象概念词” 与 “具体事物词”(如 “success”“achievement”),需根据上下文是否有 “具体事例支撑” 判断语义类型。若文中提及具体事件、数据、物品,优先选具体词;若描述整体状态、感受、理念,优先选抽象词。
【示例分析】
Winning the regional competition was a great ___ for the young athlete, who had practiced day and night for half a year.
A. success B. achievement C. progress D. fortune
解析:“Winning the regional competition” 是 “具体的事件成果”,“achievement”(具体成就)侧重 “通过努力获得的具体结果”,符合语境;“success”(成功)是抽象概念,常指 “整体状态的顺利”,不特指某件具体事件;“progress”(进步)强调 “过程中的提升”,而非 “最终结果”;“fortune”(运气)与 “practiced day and night” 体现的 “努力” 矛盾,因此排除。解题时可通过 “是否能对应具体事件 / 物品” 快速区分抽象与具体词,如 “gift”(具体礼物)和 “kindness”(抽象善意)。
九、语用功能类考点
聚焦语言在实际交际中的 “功能用途”,考查考生对 “请求、建议、道歉、邀请” 等语用场景的理解,需结合对话语气、句式结构、场景需求判断选项,避免仅从字面意思选择。常见细分方向包括交际意图判断、语气适配选择、场景功能匹配三类。
1. 交际意图判断
选项为不同交际功能的句式(如 “Could you...?”“Why not...?”),需根据上下文的 “需求”“问题” 或 “回应” 判断说话人的意图(请求、建议、拒绝等)。这类题目常通过 “疑问词”(如 “Could”“Would” 表委婉请求)、“回应内容”(如 “Sure”“Sorry” 对应不同意图)提供线索。
【示例分析】
I said ,“My phone died and I need to call my mom. ___ I use your phone for a minute?” “— Of course, here you are."he replied
A. Must B. Should C. Could D. Will
解析:根据 “need to call”“use your phone” 可知说话人是 “委婉请求”,“Could”(委婉请求)符合交际意图;“Must”(必须)语气强硬,不符合请求场景;“Should”(应该)表建议,而非请求;“Will”(将要)表未来动作,无法体现请求意图,因此排除。解题时可整理 “交际意图句式表”,如 “表建议” 用 “Why not...?”“You’d better...?”,“表道歉” 用 “I’m sorry for...?”“Excuse me for...?”,强化功能与句式的对应。
2. 语气适配选择
选项为不同语气的词汇或句式(如 “maybe”“certainly”“probably”),需根据语境的 “确定性程度”“情感倾向” 判断语气强度。若文中有 “证据、事实、肯定回应”,选语气肯定的词;若有 “猜测、不确定、犹豫”,选语气委婉的词。
【示例分析】
The weather forecast said it will rain tomorrow, so we ___ need to take umbrellas when we go out.
A. probably B. certainly C. maybe D. hardly
解析:“The weather forecast said” 是 “明确的证据支撑”,说明 “带伞” 是 “确定的需求”,“certainly”(肯定)符合语气;“probably”(可能)、“maybe”(或许)语气过于委婉,与 “天气预报” 的确定性矛盾;“hardly”(几乎不)则与语境完全相反,因此排除。解题时可标记 “语气提示词”,如 “definitely”“surely” 表肯定,“perhaps”“might” 表不确定,辅助判断语气适配度。
3. 场景功能匹配
选项为适用于不同场景的词汇或表达(如 “check in”“check out”“look up”),需结合场景的 “核心需求” 判断功能词。常见场景包括 “酒店、餐厅、医院、商店、机场” 等,每个场景有专属的功能表达,需通过场景关键词(如 “hotel reception”“restaurant menu”)锁定选项。
【示例分析】When we arrived at the hotel, the first thing we did was go to the front desk to ___, so we could get our room keys.
A. check in B. check out C. pick up D. put down
解析:“hotel”“front desk”“get our room keys” 明确指向 “酒店入住场景”,“check in”(办理入住)是该场景的核心功能;“check out”(办理退房)与 “arrived”“get room keys” 矛盾;“pick up”(捡起;领取)需搭配具体物品(如 “package”),不适用酒店场景;“put down”(放下;写下)与 “拿钥匙” 的需求无关,因此排除。备考时可按 “场景 - 功能词” 分类整理,如 “餐厅场景” 常用 “order”“pay the bill”,“医院场景” 常用 “make an appointment”“see a doctor”,形成场景化记忆。
十、细节逻辑类考点
聚焦语篇中 “细微的逻辑关联”,需通过 “时间顺序、空间位置、因果链条、条件限制” 等细节线索判断选项,避免因忽略 “隐性逻辑” 导致语义断层。这类题目常通过 “时间副词”(如 “firstly”“finally”)、“空间介词”(如 “above”“below”)、“条件连词”(如 “if”“unless”)提供逻辑线索,是考查语篇精细理解能力的核心题型。
1. 时间顺序逻辑
选项为体现时间先后的词汇(如 “then”“later”“before”)或动词时态,需根据文中 “动作发生的先后顺序” 判断,确保时间线连贯。这类题目常通过 “动作描述的先后”(如 “woke up → brushed teeth → had breakfast”)、“时间标记词”(如 “at 8 am”“the next day”)构建时间逻辑。
【示例分析】I woke up early in the morning, ___ I washed my face and brushed my teeth, and then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
A. so B. then C. while D. since
解析:“woke up → washed → went” 是 “先后发生的动作”,“then”(然后)体现时间顺序;“so”(因此)表因果,文中无因果关系;“while”(当…… 时)表同时发生,与 “先后动作” 矛盾;“since”(自从;因为)既不表时间顺序,也无因果逻辑,因此排除。解题时可画出 “时间轴”,标注每个动作的发生顺序,再匹配时间逻辑词。
2. 空间位置逻辑
选项为体现空间关系的介词(如 “in”“on”“under”“beside”)或副词(如 “here”“there”“above”),需根据文中 “物体 / 人物的位置描述” 判断空间关联,确保场景画面连贯。这类题目常通过 “视觉描述”(如 “the box on the table”“the girl beside the window”)提供空间线索。
【示例分析】
The little girl sat ___ her mother on the sofa, listening to a story about magic.
A. beside B. above C. below D. behind
解析:“on the sofa”“listening to a story together” 暗示 “两人相邻而坐”,“beside”(在…… 旁边)符合空间场景;“above”(在…… 上方)、“below”(在…… 下方)描述垂直空间关系,与 “沙发上” 的水平场景矛盾;“behind”(在…… 后面)无法体现 “一起听故事” 的互动场景,因此排除。解题时可想象 “场景画面”,根据 “人物 / 物体的互动方式”(如 “talk together”“share a book”)判断空间位置。
3. 条件限制逻辑
选项为体现条件关系的连词(如 “if”“unless”“as long as”)或副词(如 “only”“just”“even”),需根据 “前提条件” 与 “结果” 的关联判断选项,确保逻辑严密。这类题目常通过 “假设、限制、要求” 等描述(如 “you can go out if you finish homework”)构建条件逻辑。
【示例分析】
You will not pass the exam ___ you study hard and practice more questions before the test.
A. if B. unless C. because D. though
解析:“will not pass” 与 “study hard” 是 “否定结果” 与 “必要条件” 的关系,“unless”(除非,相当于 “if not”)符合逻辑;“if”(如果)表肯定条件,与 “will not pass” 矛盾;“because”(因为)表因果,文中无因果关系;“though”(虽然)表转折,无法体现条件限制,因此排除。解题时可将选项代入原文,检验 “条件” 与 “结果” 是否形成 “必要 / 充分” 关联,如 “unless” 引导必要条件,“if” 引导充分条件。

One summer night, my friends and I stole into the Jordans’ backyard and started harvesting their sweet, juicy raspberries (树莓). We were enjoying every bite of the tasty berries 1 Mr Jordan came charging outside all of a sudden.
“What are you boys doing out here?” he yelled as my friends ran off 2 all directions. He attempted to catch one or two as they rushed past him, but they were too 3 for the older gentleman to catch. Within seconds, the boys 4 into the dark of the summer night, all except me. Speed was never my 5 . I took the tongue-lashing (痛骂) that Mr. Jordan gave me as he marched me down the block to my house, where my mother took over and scolded me 6 . My friends said they could hear every colorful word she spoke from the darkness of our backyard, where they had gathered to 7 their escape and to observe my capture.
They 8 me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain about how 9 it was that I was the only one who had to pay the price. After about a week of this, I complained to my father about the inequality of the situation. Dad said, “You took raspberries without 10 , and you get exactly the punishment you deserved.”
“But what about the other guys?” I asked. “They didn’t get punished at all!”
“That’s not my concern nor should it be yours,” Dad said. “You can’t 11 what happens to others. You can only 12 what happens to you. You made a bad choice that night, and you were punished for it.”
For the duration of the following years, I come to realize there is no 13 that life will treat us fairly. That’s why we can’t 14 comparing our lives with the lives of others. Like Dad said, that isn’t our 15 .

At 17, I quit school, left home and moved from place to place. Years later, I was 16 for possessing drugs. I’d never touched drugs, but nobody believed me because my wandering lifestyle failed to defend my 17 I was sent to prison.
My cellmate was Herbert. We both worked in the electric shop. I wouldn’t let the fact that I was 18 imprisoned defeat me; so to keep myself 19 I volunteered for extra work, My attitude and effort earned me Herbert’s confidence and friendship.
Before Herbert was 20 , he offered me a job at his big company. Never had I expected 21 would smile on me! Deeply touched by Herbert’s 22 I was determined that someday I’d help other ex-prisoners this way.
Once out of prison, I went to Herbert’s company, where I was 23 rapidly through hard work. When I had a 24 in employment, I began to perform the 25 I had made to myself. Through the years, we have offered over 300 ex-prisoners 26 jobs. We believe in them, regardless of their past.

Standing on the edge of the plane, my tandem skydiving (双人跳伞) instructor, Bill, turned to face me. “Do you have any last words?” he asked. “Yes,” I said, joking. “I hope my parachute (降落伞) 31 .”
I’d never felt more alive as Bill and I 32 and started our free fall. As we reached 4,000 feet, I felt a parachute open. This, I was told, would slow us down for a smooth 33 . But why were we still 34 so fast? I could hear Bill swearing as he tried to 35 whatever had gone wrong.
Worse still, our emergency parachute unexpectedly got 36 on something. At that moment, I just felt so 37 that I’d even invited my family along to experience sorrow instead of watching my wonderful performance.
We 38 the ground. An unimaginable pain shot up my back. Feeling weak and tired out, I gathered all my 39 , and turned to face Bill. He started screaming. From my neck down, I could hardly 40 . My mother couldn’t help crying as we were placed into a(n) 41 from the hospital.
After years of treatment, the deep physical and mental pain is 42 . I heard Bill made a full 43 and returned to skydiving.
I was always terrified of being myself and doing the things I wanted. Now I’ve learned I need to be 44 . There’s nothing like falling from 15,000 feet without a parachute and surviving. It forces me to 45 every day!

It was Jennifer Williams’s mother who got her interested in books. A librarian, she 46 to her three children every day. When Williams, now 54, became an elementary school teacher in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to 47 with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had limited 48 to books. To Williams, the 49 was simple: Give kids books. In 2017, as part of a civic event called Engage Dan-ville, she 50 900 used children’s books over three days. Most people would be 51 with that. “I was like, ‘Anybody could do that,’” she said. “I wanted to do something that’s going to stretch my faith, my work ethic, my everything.” So she raised the number 52 by setting a new goal for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like an 53 number. 54 , she got to work, first by roping in friends to give away books or money to buy books. Before long, as 55 of Williams’s project spread, strangers started leaving bundles of books on her front porch. As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schools—free of 56 —and also 57 books to little free libraries around the city of 41,000 just over the North Carolina border. She also 58 a book club for inmates in the local jail. In the four years she’s been doing all this, the Book Lady, as Williams has come to be known, has given away more than 78,000 books—only 922,000 more to reach her 59 ! And she’s not slowing down. It’s too 60 for kids with few options. “Reading can take you anywhere,” she told CNN. “You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything.”

Feeling unproductive even after working all day?
Do you ever feel guilty for relaxing, even after you’ve worked hard all day? Do you feel like you should be doing more despite working full hours and nearing burnout?
You may be experiencing productivity dysmorphia. Although not a scientific term, it’s a helpful way to describe the feeling of 61 to recognize your accomplishments and wanting to continue doing more, even when you’re completely drained. It’s the pursuit of productivity that motivates you to do more while 62 you of the ability to enjoy any success along the way.
Productivity dysmorphia may look like working 63 on the weekends because you think you should be doing more, even though you did more than your share of work throughout the week. It could look like feeling ashamed of yourself when watching a movie or hanging out with friends because it feels like you’re 64 time that you could have spent working.
Highly competitive, work-oriented cultures 65 this constant pursuit of productivity that affects other areas of life. 66 , you’re often praised for putting productivity above your well-being. Remember how schools rewarded perfect attendance? 67 , companies prefer employees who get the maximum work done while taking the fewest possible breaks. 68 like these stress that rest is bad and that being constantly at work is the right thing to do.
Sometimes called “ 69 capitalism,” this mindset pushes people to force their minds and bodies to work even though they’re 70 . The problem isn’t that the boss tells them to do it, but rather the social pressure to find self-worth in work achievements encourages people to dedicate their free time to extra work, 71 the family dinners to cat in front of a computer, and take work devices on vacations so they can wrap up a project on the plane.
There’s a difference between enjoying work, working a lot, and feeling compelled to work 72 whether you enjoy it. Popular quotes like “if you do what you love, you don’t work a single day in life” may normalize overworking under the assumption that if you’re 73 about something, you won’t ever get tired.
As people place more and more importance on work, it becomes harder to justify something if it doesn’t lead to productivity. Some writers have even begun describing rest as 74 , as if people should stop relaxing if it doesn’t improve performance in some way. Not only does this mindset make it difficult to view and celebrate your achievements, but it also pushes you to build your entire life around work. The only milestones that mater are achieving work goals. The worst part? There’s no sense of 75 when you reach these goals.

When I was a child, mealtimes were treasured family moments. My favorite dish was spaghetti pomodoro, simple pasta in tomato sauce. Our meals 76 fresh vegetables, fruits, and, in our teenage years, a glass of red wine. Occasionally, I enjoyed a few slices of prosciutto (熏火腿) , and outdoor sports kept me active. This traditional Mediterranean diet, rooted in centuries of cultural heritage, kept me healthy and proved to be beneficial for the 77 well-being as well.
In 2020, the Mediterranean diet celebrated its tenth anniversary as a UNESCO-designated “Cultural Heritage of Humanity.” Yet, surprisingly, Italians are 78 this healthy lifestyle. Fast food consumption is rising, portions are growing, and fewer families sit down for 79 together. Alarmingly, Italian children now rank among the most overweight in Europe, according to a World Health Organization study.
This issue extends beyond Italy to become a(n) 80 crisis. Malnutrition is a(n) 81 problem: while hunger is rising globally, with 821 million people undernourished, two billion people are overweight. 82 , one-third of all food produced is wasted. Livestock farming alone consumes two-thirds of agricultural land and accounts for half of agriculture-related greenhouse gas emissions.
Without immediate changes, this cycle will 83 . By 2050, the global population is expected to 84 by 2.3 billion, intensifying the demand for meat. Since the mid-20th century, the food system has prioritized quantity over quality, 85 vast food waste. A fundamental shift is urgently needed to focus on producing healthier, more sustainable food.
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals offer a roadmap to end hunger, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. 86 these goals requires governments to support sustainable farming practices, reduce food waste, and ensure healthy food is both accessible and affordable. Taxing unhealthy food is not enough; fruits and vegetables must become both profitable for farmers and 87 for consumers.
Companies must also 88 . At Barilla, we work with farmers to sustainably grow durum wheat, combining traditional crop rotation with modern tools like advanced weather forecasting. This improves efficiency, lowers costs, and enhances quality.
89 , sustainability must be joyful, not punitive. Food should remain colorful, appetizing, and social. The Mediterranean diet reminds us to 90 vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, reduce meat consumption, and enjoy meals together.

Every year, the world loses some of its 7,000 languages. Parents stop speaking them to their children, words are forgotten and communities lose the ability to read their own 91 .
The UN’s culture agency, UNESCO, said predictions that half of the world’s languages will have died out by the end of the century are 92 . Some are disappearing with their last 93 . Thousands are 94 because they are not being spoken widely enough or used in formal settings such as schools or workplaces. The rate of loss is 95 , from one every three months a decade ago to one every 40 days in 2019 — meaning nine languages die a year.
A quiet 96 is under way in communities that feel their traditions are drowned out. Tochi Precious, a Nigerian living in Abuja, said: “It pains my heart every day to see that a language is 97 , because it’s not just about the language, it’s also about the people, the history associated with it and the culture. When it is gone, everything linked to it is gone too.”
Precious said it was this 98 that made her join efforts to save Igbo, a west African language that was predicted to disappear in 2024. Ensuring there is a(n) 99 of words and meanings, how it is written and how it is used is key, according to campaigners, who help others protect their languages through the organisation Wikitongues.
Online encyclopaedia (百科全书) is favoured by language activists as an effective and 100 way to upload media and build dictionaries. Wikitongues, in particular, focuses on 101 languages using collective resources free of charge, such as Wikipedia entries. Many language activists also create books, videos and recordings that can be widely 102 .
But after 103 , activists then have the challenge of persuading people to use a language. Precious said that even though Igbo is one of Nigeria’s largest languages, many parents believe only English is useful for a child’s future. But she said it gave her pleasure to see the language doing better. “I have realised that, yes, a language can be endangered but then the people who speak the language can also fight for its 104 . Because 2025 is already here, and definitely Igbo is not 105 ,” she said.

We all know someone like it. You probably work with or are even related to one. And with Christmas approaching, the season of office parties and family gatherings, you’re increasingly likely to have to 106 with one and rediscover just how annoying they are. We’re talking about the ‘know-it-all’. Individuals who will enthusiastically 107 you about any topic or area, despite clearly having little to no expert knowledge in what they’re talking about. And often, even though 108 do.
Why would anyone assume 109 knowledge to everyone else, about every possible subject matter? One is the phenomenon of ‘naive realism’, which describes how people instinctively assume that their 110 of the world reflects objective reality. In reality, everything we see and ‘know’ about the world passes through our brain’s shortcuts, biases, emotional memories, and other mental processes. What we believe is reality in our heads is often noticeably different from what is reality, but we don’t recognize this happening. 111 , we regularly encounter people who see the world from another perspective. But naive realism means we assume that those who understand the world differently are 112 . For a seemingly large number of people, this results in an irresistible urge to ‘correct’ others. It may be 100 per cent well intended, but that doesn’t make it any less 113 . However, this can’t be the 114 story. Many people experience naive realism, yet never do or say anything about it. True know-it-alls don’t actually wait for you to make a mistake before 115 to you. This suggests something beyond naive realism that drives know-it-all behavior.
Another cognitive bias (认知偏差) at work, proposed in a recent study by Gehlbach, Robinson, and Fletcher, is ‘the illusion of information adequacy’. Put simply, this describes how though many people 116 sufficient information to make accurate judgments about something, they’ll assume the opposite. It’s logically very hard to 117 what we don’t know.
Then there’s the Dunning-Kruger effect: the cognitive bias where people with limited competence in a certain area tend to 118 their abilities. Their lack of smart thinking means they struggle to acknowledge when someone else knows more than them, meaning they dare to argue with those who are better informed. And because people often respond more to 119 than accuracy, they often get away with it. If this happens often enough, across enough subjects, they could convince themselves that they’re 120 on pretty much everything, even though the opposite is true.

When I moved from New York City to Washington D.C. three months ago, I had to call cable and utility companies to cancel the services to my old apartment and fix the Internet service in the new one.
It was both time-consuming and 121 . Each time I called, I was greeted by an automatic answering system that tried to navigate me to a solution. When that 122 , I hit the button for a customer service representative. That was when the real pain started. All the representatives, I was told, were currently 123 and the estimated waiting time was 18 minutes in one case and 32 minutes in another.
I sank into despair once when the phone was 124 accidentally after it had waited for nearly 15 minutes accompanied by service promotion ads and monotonous music from the other end. At that moment, I did 125 my bank and utility companies in China where customer representatives seem always 126 available.
I don’t know how many people like to talk to a 127 . But this is an area where lots of jobs can be created in the United States, especially when 128 is still high — 7.7 percent in February, though the lowest since December 2008.
That 129 explains why when China created 12.66 million urban jobs in 2012, the US created only 1.8 million. And mind you, those Chinese jobs weren’t taken from Americans despite the fact that many US politicians and average workers seem to think so, and even use it as an 130 to gain political capital.
Two economists, Robert Z. Lawrence from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and Lawrence Edwards from the University of Cape Town shed light on the 131 during their talk at the Peterson Institute in Washington on Tuesday.
After conducting an extensive survey of empirical literature (实证文献) to date and, more importantly, carrying out their own in-depth 132 of the evidence, they concluded that rapid 133 in emerging economies (新兴经济体) is part of the solution to the US economic problems rather than their cause. The 134 contradict several popular theories on the 135 impact on the US of its trade with developing countries such as China and India.

My 91-year-old grandfather called me to 136 his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It 137 us both.
I soon found out there was another reason my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the 138 providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only 139 the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it.
Such 140 might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: What if it’s more common than we think?
It started with some research that showed people often underestimate (低估) the 141 of strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that 142 news coverage of current affairs tends to be negative because humans tend to give negative events more attention.
143 stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and less 144 than we need to be.
So I think sometimes what we hear, see, or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be 145 from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We could start by asking ourselves whether we are 146 more on negative or positive stories. Maybe even paying more attention to good news or 147 good news will help.
Anna’s attitude was remarkable. She 148 the call of duty and, upon leaving, 149 to accept anything but words as thanks.
Why not 150 ourselves that behind the bad scenes lie untold stories of extraordinary good?

完形填空常考知识点及答题方法简析
高频考点精讲
进阶分级练
高考学考英语完形填空作为综合性语言运用题型,核心考查考生在语篇语境中对词汇、语法、语用知识的灵活运用能力,以及逻辑思维与文化认知水平。该题型要求考生不仅能掌握《普通高中英语课程标准》规定的 3500 个左右核心词汇及相关固定搭配、习惯用法,还需具备根据上下文线索推断词义、理解句间逻辑关系(如因果、转折、让步等)的能力,最终实现对语篇整体意义的准确把握,体现 “语言知识为基、语篇理解为本” 的考查理念。
从能力层级来看,完形填空注重分层考查不同维度的语言素养:基础层面要求考生能识别并运用词性转换、固定短语等基础语言知识,确保语法结构与语义表达的准确性;进阶层面强调语篇逻辑分析能力,需考生通过上下文语境(如情节发展、人物情感变化、作者态度倾向)推断空格处的最佳选项,避免孤立理解单个句子;高阶层面则渗透文化意识考查,选材常涉及中外文化背景、社会生活场景或价值观导向内容,要求考生结合文化常识理解语篇内涵,体现语言学习与文化认知的融合。
在选材与设空设计上,完形填空遵循 “贴近生活、难易适中、注重素养” 的原则。选材多为记叙文、夹叙夹议文(偶见说明文),篇幅控制在 250-300 词左右,文本主题积极向上,兼具教育意义与可读性,如成长感悟、亲情友情、社会热点、文化习俗等;设空分布均匀,避免集中在某一局部段落,且空格多为实词(名词、动词、形容词、副词占比约 80%),虚词(连词、介词等)为辅,既考查词汇辨析与搭配能力,又通过虚词设空检验语篇逻辑衔接能力,确保考查内容全面覆盖语言知识与语用能力,符合高考对 “基础性、综合性、应用性” 的考查要求。
一、词汇理解与辨析类考点
该类考点在高考英语完形填空中占比最高(超 80%),聚焦实词在语境中的精准运用,是考生必须攻克的核心板块。细分来看,其包含近义词区分、形近词辨别和一词多义三种类型:
命题要点
近义词区分:命题人常将语义相近但情感色彩、使用场景、搭配习惯存在细微差异的词汇作为选项,例如 “journey”“trip”“travel”“voyage” 等表示 “旅行” 的词汇,需要考生依据语境精准判断。
形近词辨别:通过拼写相似但词义截然不同的单词制造干扰,如 “adapt(适应)” 与 “adopt(收养;采纳)” ,这类题目着重考查考生的词汇辨析能力与细心程度。
一词多义:选取具有多个释义的高频词,结合上下文设置考点,像 “book” 除了常见的 “书” 的含义,在 “book a ticket” 中意为 “预订” 。考生需突破思维定式,结合具体语境挖掘词汇的深层含义。
1. 近义词区分
在高考英语完形填空中,近义词的辨析是一大难点,它侧重对词性差异或语义侧重的辨别,考生需结合语法功能与语境精准选择。这类题目旨在考查学生对词汇细微差别的理解,以及在实际语境中运用词汇的能力。
【示例分析】
The teachers then ___ my singing skills and asked what role I wanted to play.
A. advertised B. tested C. challenged D. polished
解析:从句子所处的 “面试场景” 语境分析,老师们对 “我” 的歌唱技能进行评估,“test”(测试)一词能准确体现这一行为,符合语义逻辑。“advertise”(宣传)通常用于推广产品、服务或理念,与老师评估学生能力的场景不匹配;“challenge”(挑战)强调提出难题或进行对抗性活动,放在此处语义不通;“polish”(打磨)虽有提升、完善的意思,但在该语境下,老师是先判断能力,而非直接进行打磨提升,所以其余选项均不合适。此外,这类近义词辨析题还常涉及动词、形容词等词性,比如 “effective” 和 “efficient”,前者强调有效果,后者侧重有效率,做题时一定要关注词性及语境需求。
2. 形近词辨别
高考英语完形填空中,形近词辨别是容易让考生掉入陷阱的考点。这类题目需要考生时刻保持警惕,因为这些词汇拼写相似,但含义却完全不同,稍不留意就会选错。在复习过程中,考生可以通过制作形近词对比表格的方式,加深对词汇的记忆与区分。
【示例分析】
She had to ___ to the new environment after moving to the city.
A. adapt B. adopt C. adept D. adore
解析:“adapt” 是不及物动词,常见搭配 “adapt to”,意为 “适应”,在 “适应新环境” 这一语境中使用恰当。“adopt” 是及物动词,意思是 “收养;采纳”,如 “adopt a child”(收养孩子)、“adopt a plan”(采纳计划),与句子语境不符;“adept” 是形容词,意为 “熟练的、擅长的”,常用 “be adept at/in” 结构,词性和含义都不符合本题要求;“adore” 是及物动词,意为 “爱慕、崇拜”,也无法表达 “适应环境” 的语义,所以后三个选项均因含义不符被排除。考生在遇到形近词题目时,可先从词性入手,再结合词义和语境进行判断。
3. 一词多义
一词多义是高考英语完形填空的高频考点,同一词汇在不同语境中含义差异显著,这就要求考生必须依托上下文进行细致推断。很多时候,考生对某个单词的常见释义非常熟悉,但在特定语境中,该单词会呈现出不常用的含义,这就需要考生灵活运用知识,准确把握词汇在具体语境中的语义。
【示例分析】
We had decided on key items for the ___ we were moving to in town.
A. hotel B. office C. cottage D. apartment
解析:本题解题的关键在于对后文线索的捕捉,“sit in my apartment today” 明确给出了提示,说明要搬去的地方是 “apartment”(公寓)。同时,结合 “item” 在此处指的是搬家物品,“hotel” 通常是临时居住场所,一般不会特意为其选定搬家物品;“office” 是办公地点,与日常生活中的搬家物品关联不大;“cottage”(小屋)在文中未提及相关信息,从上下文语境连贯性和语义合理性角度判断,“apartment” 为最佳选项。面对一词多义的题目,考生要像侦探一样,在文章中寻找蛛丝马迹,通过上下文确定词汇的确切含义。
二、语法结构类考点
考查基础语法在语境中的灵活运用,核心涉及非谓语动词、从句引导词和时态一致三大方向。
在非谓语动词的考查中,命题者常将过去分词、现在分词和动词不定式置于复杂语境,要求考生依据句子逻辑主语与动作的主被动关系、时间先后顺序精准判断。例如,当动作与逻辑主语构成主动关系且强调正在进行时,现在分词往往是正确选择;若存在被动关系,则需选用过去分词。
从句引导词的考点主要围绕定语从句、名词性从句和状语从句展开。考生需仔细辨别从句类型,分析引导词在从句中充当的成分。在定语从句里,关系代词(that, which, who 等)和关系副词(where, when, why 等)的选择取决于其在从句中作主语、宾语还是状语;名词性从句中,what、whether、if 等引导词的使用需根据句子语义和成分需求来确定。
时态一致的考查着重于上下文时态的连贯性。高考题目常通过多个动作的先后顺序、时间状语提示等方式,检验考生对一般现在时、一般过去时、现在完成时等多种时态的理解与运用能力,要求考生确保整个语篇时态逻辑严密,避免出现时态矛盾的情况。
1. 非谓语动词
非谓语动词作为高考完形填空中的高频考点,需要考生精准判断其在句子中的逻辑关系,进而选择合适的形式。其中,to do 形式通常表示目的、将来或具体的一次性动作;doing 形式表示主动、进行或经常性、习惯性动作;done 形式则强调被动、完成的状态 。
【示例分析】
The project, ___ by setbacks, was completed ahead of schedule.
解析:过去分词 "marked" 表被动完成,说明项目 "被挫折标记",符合逻辑。在该句中,“marked by setbacks” 作为后置定语修饰 “the project”,体现项目在完成前遭受挫折的被动完成状态,同时要注意与现在分词短语作定语(表主动、进行)的区分。例如,“The boy standing under the tree”(站在树下的男孩),“standing” 就表示主动且正在进行的动作。
2. 从句引导词
从句引导词的选择在高考完形填空中,主要涉及定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句等,考生必须准确判断从句的性质,并理清其与主句之间的逻辑关系。
【示例分析】
I was reading a book in the classroom when there was an ___.
A. which B. when C. that D. where
解析:"when" 引导时间状语从句,表 "正在此时",符合 "be doing...when..." 固定句式结构。这种结构中,“when” 并非表示常规的 “当…… 时候”,而是强调 “突然”。此外,在定语从句中,关系代词 “which”“that” 在从句中作主语或宾语,“where” 在从句中作地点状语,与本题情况不同。比如,“This is the house where I lived last year”(这是我去年住的房子),“where” 指代地点在从句中作状语;“The book which/that I bought yesterday is interesting”(我昨天买的那本书很有趣),“which/that” 在从句中作宾语,通过对比能更好掌握不同引导词的用法。
3. 时态与语态
时态与语态的判断在完形填空中,需要考生结合句中的时间线索,如时间状语、上下文语境等,同时分析动作之间的先后关系和主被动关系。被动语态的核心在于强调动作的承受者,而不是执行者。
【示例分析】
By the time we arrived, the performance ___ already ___.
A. has; started B. had; started C. will; start D. was; starting
解析:"by the time" 引导的过去时间点前发生的动作,需用过去完成时 "had started"。“by the time” 后接过去时间时,主句常用过去完成时,表示 “到…… 时候为止,已经……”;若后接将来时间,主句常用将来完成时,如 “By the time you come back, I will have finished the work”(到你回来的时候,我将已经完成工作)。此外,判断语态时,要分析主语和动词之间的关系,例如 “The bridge was built last year”(这座桥去年被建造),“bridge” 是动作 “build” 的承受者,所以用被动语态。
三、逻辑关系类考点
通过关联词考查对文章句间、段间逻辑的把握,这是高考英语完形填空的高频考点,涵盖转折、因果、并列等核心关系。转折关系常通过 however、but、yet 等词,揭示前后语义的反转,如前文描述困难重重,后文用 however 引出意外转机;因果关系借助 because、so、therefore 等词,建立事件的前因后果联系,像因天气恶劣,so 活动被迫取消;并列关系则依靠 and、or、both...and... 等词,呈现同等重要的信息,例如列举多种兴趣爱好时用 and 连接。这些关联词如同文章的 “隐形脉络”,考生需精准捕捉,才能理清文本逻辑,选出契合语境的答案。
1. 转折关系
转折关系在完形填空中是高频考点,其本质是通过标志词构建语义对立,核心标志词包含but、however、nevertheless。考生需重点关注:转折词前后的情感色彩是否相反,动作或状态是否矛盾,常见干扰项会设置语义相近但逻辑关系不符的词汇。
【示例分析】
The theory seemed perfect, nevertheless no one could reproduce it.
解析:"nevertheless" 作为强转折词,将 "理论完美" 的正向描述与 "无法重现" 的负向结果形成鲜明对比,体现理论表象与实际可行性的矛盾。解题时需警惕类似 "therefore(因果)""moreover(递进)" 等逻辑混淆词。
2. 因果关系
因果关系考查考生对事件逻辑链的理解,包含原因→结果和结果→原因两种推理方向。核心标志词有because、so、thus、due to、consequently等。选项设计常围绕事件的直接关联性,错误选项可能是时间顺序相近但无因果的干扰项。
【示例分析】
Melanie Bailey should have finished the course earlier than she did. Her ____ came because she was carrying a competitor across the finish line.
A. delay(符合因果逻辑,"背着对手过终点" 导致 "赛程延误")
B. chance(机会,与原因无直接关联)
C. trouble(麻烦,语义宽泛缺乏针对性)
D. excuse(借口,与原文积极语境不符)
解析:"because" 明确因果关系,解题关键在于找到与 "should have finished earlier" 形成因果呼应的词汇,同时注意时态一致性(过去式 came 对应过去发生的原因)。
3. 并列关系
并列关系用于连接语义对等、结构相似的成分,常见标志词包括and、or、as well as、not only...but also等。该类题目常涉及词性一致性、语义同类性两个考查维度,需特别注意平行结构中冠词、介词等虚词的复用规则。
【示例分析】
She is not only good at playing the piano but also ____ in painting.
A. skilled(形容词,与 "good" 词性一致,构成 "be skilled in" 固定搭配)
B. skill(名词,词性不符)
C. skillfully(副词,修饰动词,与语境不符)
D. skills(名词复数,无法与 "be...in" 搭配)
解析:"not only...but also" 作为并列连词,要求前后结构严格平行,此处需选择与 "good" 词性、功能均匹配的形容词,形成 "be + adj. + 介词短语" 的平行结构。
四、固定搭配与语境推断类考点
在英语高考中,完形填空不仅是对词汇和语法的考查,更是对语言综合运用能力的检验。前者侧重积累习惯表达,后者依赖上下文线索推理,是完形填空的核心能力要求。所谓习惯表达,涵盖固定搭配(如 take pride in、make progress)、习语(kick the bucket 表示 “去世”)、口语化表达(no-brainer 指 “无需动脑的事”)等,这些内容需要考生通过长期阅读和语境积累形成语感;而上下文推理则要求考生具备逻辑分析能力,通过寻找指代关系(it/they 对应前文名词)、因果连词(therefore/however)、时间线索(firstly/meanwhile)以及情感色彩一致性,对空缺处进行精准判断。这两项能力相辅相成,既需要扎实的语言基本功,也离不开灵活的语篇分析技巧,共同构成了解题的关键钥匙。
1. 固定搭配
固定搭配作为高考英语完形填空中的高频考点,着重考查考生对常用短语和习语的掌握程度。这类考点涵盖动词短语、介词短语和习语,这些表达具有整体性,不能随意拆分或替换其中的词汇。在解题时,考生不仅要熟悉短语本身的含义,还要结合句子语境判断其是否适用。
【示例分析】
Burchill was ___ at the hotel on business and planning to visit some friends.
A. studying B. staying C. looking D. packing
解析:在该句中,“stay at the hotel” 是一个典型的固定搭配,意为 “入住酒店”,这与句子中 “on business”(因公出差)的商务场景语义高度契合。选项 A “studying”(学习)、C “looking”(看)、D “packing”(打包),与 “at the hotel” 搭配时,均无法表达出合理的语义,因此正确答案为 B。此外,类似的固定搭配还有 “check in at the hotel”(办理酒店入住)、“check out of the hotel”(办理酒店退房)等,考生在备考时应加强积累。
2. 语境推断
语境推断类题目旨在考查考生对文章整体逻辑和细节信息的把握能力。在解答这类题目时,考生需要关注文章中的复现词、情感线索、逻辑关系词等隐含信息,通过上下文的相互印证来确定答案。这类题目往往需要考生跳出单个句子的限制,立足全文逻辑进行分析。
【示例分析】
I started getting really nervous. What if I didn’t get a main role? Soon, the cast list was ___. My friends checked and came back shouting, “Amy, you got the main role!”
A. traded B. posted C. questioned D. claimed
解析:在这个语境中,关键线索是 “checked”(查看),只有当演员表被 “posted”(张贴)出来,朋友们才能够去查看,该选项符合上下文逻辑。而选项 A “traded”(交易),与演员表的发布毫无关联;选项 C “questioned”(质疑),代入句子后语义不通;选项 D “claimed”(宣称),也无法与 “checked” 形成合理的逻辑关系,因此均被排除。此外,考生在面对此类题目时,还应注意一些常见的情感线索词,如 “excited”“disappointed”“surprised” 等,这些词能够帮助我们快速把握作者或文中人物的情感态度,从而更好地理解语境。
五、情感态度类考点
情感态度类考点在高考完形填空中虽占比不及词汇类,但直接影响对语篇主旨的理解,常通过形容词、副词、动词等体现人物情绪或作者观点,需结合语境判断情感倾向(积极、消极、中性),避免因忽略情感线索选错答案。
这类题目中,选项往往是情感色彩鲜明的词汇,如 “delighted(高兴的)”“frustrated(沮丧的)”“calm(平静的)” 等。解题时需关注文中人物的动作、语言、环境描写等细节,比如 “she smiled brightly” 暗示积极情感,“he sighed heavily” 则可能体现消极情绪,通过这些线索锁定与情感倾向一致的选项。
1. 人物情绪判断
聚焦文中人物在特定场景下的情绪变化,选项多为描述情绪的形容词或动词,需结合动作、对话、环境等线索推断,避免仅凭词汇表面含义选择。在实际解题中,人物的微表情、心理活动描写以及场景氛围营造,都是判断情绪的重要依据。
【示例分析】
When I saw my painting displayed in the school gallery, I felt so ___ that I couldn’t help smiling.
A. nervous B. proud C. confused D. tired
解析:从 “couldn’t help smiling”(忍不住笑)这一动作线索可判断,人物情绪是积极的。“proud”(自豪的)符合积极情感倾向;“nervous”(紧张的)、“confused”(困惑的)、“tired”(疲惫的)均为消极或中性情绪,与 “微笑” 的动作矛盾,因此排除。此外,类似的情绪线索还有 “tears of joy”(喜悦的泪水)暗示开心,“clenched fists”(紧握的拳头)可能体现愤怒或紧张,需重点关注。比如在某些文本中,人物突然加快的脚步、颤抖的声音,也能辅助判断其紧张、激动等情绪。部分文章还会通过环境描写烘托情绪,如 “阴沉的天空” 暗示压抑,“阳光洒满房间” 营造愉悦氛围。
2. 作者观点倾向
考查作者对事件、人物的态度,选项常为具有评价性的形容词或副词(如 “valuable(有价值的)”“unfair(不公平的)”),需通过作者的用词、语气及对事件的描述逻辑判断观点倾向。作者在文章中表达观点时,除了直接的情感词汇,还会通过对比、举例等论证方式来强化态度。
【示例分析】
The volunteer activity not only helped those in need but also taught us important life lessons. It was truly a ___ experience for everyone involved.
A. meaningless B. painful C. rewarding D. boring
解析:作者用 “not only helped...but also taught...” 强调志愿活动的积极作用,体现肯定态度。“rewarding”(有意义的、有益的)符合作者的积极观点;“meaningless”(无意义的)、“painful”(痛苦的)、“boring”(无聊的)均为消极评价,与作者对活动的正面描述相悖。解题时,若文中出现 “fortunately(幸运地)”“unluckily(不幸地)” 等副词,也可直接判断作者的态度倾向。此外,当作者使用 “in my opinion”“from my perspective” 等表达时,往往会直接引出观点;而 “on the contrary”“while” 等词连接的内容,则可能通过对比展现观点差异。比如在描述两种不同的教育方式时,作者可能会用 “effective” 与 “ineffective” 等词汇形成鲜明对比,以此表明自己的态度。
六、文化背景类考点
高考完形填空偶尔会涉及英语国家的文化习俗、生活常识(如节日、社交礼仪、生活习惯等),这类题目需结合文化背景知识辅助判断,若缺乏相关认知,易因文化差异导致理解偏差。
文化背景类题目常隐藏在场景描述中,比如涉及 “Thanksgiving(感恩节)” 会关联 “turkey(火鸡)”“family gathering(家庭聚会)”;涉及 “restaurant etiquette(餐厅礼仪)” 会提到 “tip(小费)”“reservation(预订)”。复习时需积累常见的英语国家文化常识,避免因文化盲区选错答案。
1. 生活习俗场景
围绕英语国家的日常生活习惯(如饮食、交通、社交等)设置考点,需结合文化常识判断符合场景的行为或事物。在这类题目中,命题人常常利用中西方文化差异制造干扰项,考生既要熟悉西方社会的基础生活规范,也要善于从语境中捕捉关键线索。
【示例分析】
In many Western countries, it’s common to give a ___ to the waiter after dining in a restaurant as a way to show appreciation for good service.
A. gift B. tip C. card D. flower
解析:在西方餐饮文化中,“给服务员小费” 是约定俗成的社交礼仪,通常小费金额为账单总额的 15%-20%,“tip”(小费)正是这一文化现象的精准表达。相比之下,“gift”(礼物)常用于私人关系或特殊场合,“card”(卡片)和 “flower”(花)虽然也能传递感谢,但不符合餐厅消费的常规答谢形式。此外,类似的生活习俗还有 “driving on the left side(靠左行驶)” 是英国、澳大利亚等英联邦国家的交通规则,需注意与美国等靠右行驶国家的差异;“shaking hands when meeting(见面握手)” 虽是通用社交礼仪,但在北欧部分地区,更流行简单点头示意。备考时,可整理典型生活场景的文化对比表格,如餐桌礼仪、日常问候用语等,强化跨文化意识。
2. 节日文化场景
结合英语国家的传统节日(如圣诞节、万圣节、复活节等)设置考点,选项常与节日相关的事物、活动匹配,需依托节日文化知识判断。这类题目往往通过营造节日氛围的描述,考查考生对节日核心元素的熟悉程度,尤其注重对节日专属符号和仪式的识别。
【示例分析】
At Christmas, families in Western countries usually decorate a ___ with lights, ornaments and gifts to celebrate the holiday.
A. Christmas tree B. birthday cake C. lantern D. mooncake
解析:“装饰圣诞树” 是圣诞节最具代表性的传统之一,起源于 16 世纪的德国,如今已成为全球圣诞节的标志性符号。而 “birthday cake”(生日蛋糕)属于个人庆生场景;“lantern”(灯笼)在中国文化中象征团圆喜庆,常见于元宵节、中秋节;“mooncake”(月饼)更是中秋节阖家团圆的象征,均与圣诞节文化内核不符。值得注意的是,部分题目还会涉及节日的深层寓意,例如复活节彩蛋象征重生,感恩节火鸡代表丰收。复习时,可按时间轴梳理节日脉络,整理每个节日的起源故事、特色食物、传统活动及标志性符号,例如万圣节除 “pumpkin lanterns(南瓜灯)”“trick-or-treat(不给糖就捣蛋)” 外,还需注意 “costume party(化妆舞会)” 等衍生习俗,提升答题准确性。
七、语篇衔接类考点
语篇衔接类考点聚焦文章的整体性与连贯性,通过代词指代、词汇复现、逻辑连接等方式实现句间、段间的衔接,需准确把握上下文的关联,避免因忽略衔接线索导致语义断裂。
这类题目中,代词(it, they, this, that 等)的指代对象常需从前文寻找;词汇复现(原词复现、同义复现)可帮助锁定与前文语义一致的选项;逻辑连接则需结合前文提到的转折、因果等关系,确保衔接自然。
1. 代词指代判断
考查代词(人称代词、指示代词等)所指代的对象,需在前文寻找对应的名词或句子,确保指代明确、语义连贯。代词在句中主要起到避免重复、连接上下文的作用,因此判断其指代对象时,不仅要关注词性、单复数,还要考虑逻辑关系和语境含义。
在实际考试中,代词指代的干扰项往往会设置与前文出现过的人物或事物相关的词汇,增加迷惑性。解题时,可采用 “三步定位法”:首先,确定代词在句中的语法功能(如主语、宾语等);其次,回溯前文,圈定可能的指代对象;最后,将选项代入原文,通过语义连贯性和逻辑合理性进行验证。
【示例分析】
Lisa bought a new book yesterday. She spent the whole evening reading ___ because the story was so interesting.
A. it B. her C. him D. them
解析:代词 “it” 指代前文提到的单数名词 “a new book”,符合指代逻辑;“her”(她的 / 她)、“him”(他)指代人,与 “book”(事物)不符;“them” 指代复数名词,而 “book” 是单数,因此排除。此外,考生需注意,若句中出现多个可能的指代对象,需结合句子的核心内容判断。例如,若句中同时出现人物和事物,代词优先指代离其更近、逻辑关联更强的对象。解题时,若代词指代不明,可先确定前文出现的名词单复数、指代对象(人 / 事物),再匹配选项。
2. 词汇复现衔接
通过原词、同义词、近义词的重复出现,实现语篇衔接,解题时需关注前文出现的词汇,寻找与空缺处语义一致的复现词。词汇复现是英语语篇构建的重要手段,分为直接复现和间接复现两种类型。直接复现指原词重复,间接复现则涵盖同义替换、上下义词关联(如 “apple” 与 “fruit”)、反义词对比(如 “hot” 与 “cold”)等形式。这些复现方式能够帮助作者在不重复用词的情况下,保持文意的连贯性和逻辑性。
在解题过程中,考生需要建立 “上下文语义关联” 的意识。遇到填空时,不要仅关注选项本身,而是要快速扫描前文,寻找语义线索。有时,复现词可能隐藏在段落的主题句、过渡句或细节描述中,需要考生具备一定的文本敏感度。同时,要警惕干扰项中形似但语义不符的词汇,避免因惯性思维误选。
【示例分析】
The old man loved gardening. Every morning, he would go to his small ___ to water the flowers and vegetables he planted.
A. kitchen B. garden C. bedroom D. office
解析:前文提到 “loved gardening(热爱园艺)”,“garden(花园)” 是 “gardening” 的相关复现词,符合 “浇水、种花草蔬菜” 的场景;“kitchen(厨房)”、“bedroom(卧室)”、“office(办公室)” 均与 “园艺” 无关,因此排除。此外,若遇到选项中无原词复现的情况,可考虑同义替换,如前文出现 “begin”,后文填空处可能用 “start”;或根据上下文逻辑选择上下义词,如前文提及 “bird”,后文填空处可用 “eagle” 作为具体例子。词汇复现不仅包括原词,还可能是同义替换(如前文 “happy”,后文用 “delighted”),需灵活识别。
八、语义辨析进阶类考点
该类考点是词汇类考查的深化,聚焦 “近义词在特定语境中的精准适配”,不仅要求区分词义,更需结合场景的情感强度、动作程度、搭配对象等细节判断,是拉开分数差距的关键题型。常见细分方向包括情感强度差异、动作精准度区分、抽象与具体语义辨别三类。
1. 情感强度差异
选项为语义相近但情感浓度不同的词汇(如 “like”“love”“adore”),需根据语境中人物的行为、语气判断情感强度,避免 “程度过轻” 或 “过度夸张” 的选项。这类题目常通过副词(如 “deeply”“slightly”)、语气词(如 “really”“even”)或场景描述(如 “lifelong”“momentary”)暗示情感量级。
【示例分析】
After raising her for 10 years, the old lady ___ her pet cat more than anything else in the world.
A. liked B. loved C. admired D. favored
解析:“for 10 years”“more than anything else” 明确体现 “极致的情感”,“loved”(深爱)符合强度需求;“liked”(喜欢)程度过轻,无法匹配 “十年陪伴” 与 “胜过一切” 的语境;“admired”(敬佩)多用于对人的品格、能力的赞赏,不适用宠物;“favored”(偏爱)侧重 “相对其他选择的偏好”,而非绝对的深厚情感,因此排除。解题时可标记 “情感强度提示词”,如 “extremely”“hardly”“only” 等,辅助判断选项量级。
2. 动作精准度区分
选项为语义相关但动作细节不同的动词(如 “walk”“stroll”“march”),需结合动作的目的、姿态、场景判断 “最精准的动作描述”。这类题目常隐含动作的 “主动性 / 被动性”“速度 / 节奏”“目的性 / 随意性” 等细节线索。
【示例分析】
The soldiers ___ neatly along the street to celebrate the national day, with their heads held high.
A. walked B. strolled C. marched D. ran
解析:“soldiers”“neatly”“heads held high” 指向 “有组织、有纪律的行进”,“marched”(列队行进)精准匹配军事场景的动作特征;“walked”(走)过于宽泛,未体现 “整齐” 与 “纪律性”;“strolled”(闲逛)强调 “随意、缓慢”,与士兵的庄重姿态矛盾;“ran”(跑)则不符合 “庆祝游行” 的平稳场景,因此排除。解题时可梳理 “动作场景对应表”,如 “医院场景” 常用 “treat”“examine”,“学校场景” 常用 “teach”“explain”,强化动作与场景的绑定记忆。
3. 抽象与具体语义辨别
选项为一组 “抽象概念词” 与 “具体事物词”(如 “success”“achievement”),需根据上下文是否有 “具体事例支撑” 判断语义类型。若文中提及具体事件、数据、物品,优先选具体词;若描述整体状态、感受、理念,优先选抽象词。
【示例分析】
Winning the regional competition was a great ___ for the young athlete, who had practiced day and night for half a year.
A. success B. achievement C. progress D. fortune
解析:“Winning the regional competition” 是 “具体的事件成果”,“achievement”(具体成就)侧重 “通过努力获得的具体结果”,符合语境;“success”(成功)是抽象概念,常指 “整体状态的顺利”,不特指某件具体事件;“progress”(进步)强调 “过程中的提升”,而非 “最终结果”;“fortune”(运气)与 “practiced day and night” 体现的 “努力” 矛盾,因此排除。解题时可通过 “是否能对应具体事件 / 物品” 快速区分抽象与具体词,如 “gift”(具体礼物)和 “kindness”(抽象善意)。
九、语用功能类考点
聚焦语言在实际交际中的 “功能用途”,考查考生对 “请求、建议、道歉、邀请” 等语用场景的理解,需结合对话语气、句式结构、场景需求判断选项,避免仅从字面意思选择。常见细分方向包括交际意图判断、语气适配选择、场景功能匹配三类。
1. 交际意图判断
选项为不同交际功能的句式(如 “Could you...?”“Why not...?”),需根据上下文的 “需求”“问题” 或 “回应” 判断说话人的意图(请求、建议、拒绝等)。这类题目常通过 “疑问词”(如 “Could”“Would” 表委婉请求)、“回应内容”(如 “Sure”“Sorry” 对应不同意图)提供线索。
【示例分析】
I said ,“My phone died and I need to call my mom. ___ I use your phone for a minute?” “— Of course, here you are."he replied
A. Must B. Should C. Could D. Will
解析:根据 “need to call”“use your phone” 可知说话人是 “委婉请求”,“Could”(委婉请求)符合交际意图;“Must”(必须)语气强硬,不符合请求场景;“Should”(应该)表建议,而非请求;“Will”(将要)表未来动作,无法体现请求意图,因此排除。解题时可整理 “交际意图句式表”,如 “表建议” 用 “Why not...?”“You’d better...?”,“表道歉” 用 “I’m sorry for...?”“Excuse me for...?”,强化功能与句式的对应。
2. 语气适配选择
选项为不同语气的词汇或句式(如 “maybe”“certainly”“probably”),需根据语境的 “确定性程度”“情感倾向” 判断语气强度。若文中有 “证据、事实、肯定回应”,选语气肯定的词;若有 “猜测、不确定、犹豫”,选语气委婉的词。
【示例分析】
The weather forecast said it will rain tomorrow, so we ___ need to take umbrellas when we go out.
A. probably B. certainly C. maybe D. hardly
解析:“The weather forecast said” 是 “明确的证据支撑”,说明 “带伞” 是 “确定的需求”,“certainly”(肯定)符合语气;“probably”(可能)、“maybe”(或许)语气过于委婉,与 “天气预报” 的确定性矛盾;“hardly”(几乎不)则与语境完全相反,因此排除。解题时可标记 “语气提示词”,如 “definitely”“surely” 表肯定,“perhaps”“might” 表不确定,辅助判断语气适配度。
3. 场景功能匹配
选项为适用于不同场景的词汇或表达(如 “check in”“check out”“look up”),需结合场景的 “核心需求” 判断功能词。常见场景包括 “酒店、餐厅、医院、商店、机场” 等,每个场景有专属的功能表达,需通过场景关键词(如 “hotel reception”“restaurant menu”)锁定选项。
【示例分析】When we arrived at the hotel, the first thing we did was go to the front desk to ___, so we could get our room keys.
A. check in B. check out C. pick up D. put down
解析:“hotel”“front desk”“get our room keys” 明确指向 “酒店入住场景”,“check in”(办理入住)是该场景的核心功能;“check out”(办理退房)与 “arrived”“get room keys” 矛盾;“pick up”(捡起;领取)需搭配具体物品(如 “package”),不适用酒店场景;“put down”(放下;写下)与 “拿钥匙” 的需求无关,因此排除。备考时可按 “场景 - 功能词” 分类整理,如 “餐厅场景” 常用 “order”“pay the bill”,“医院场景” 常用 “make an appointment”“see a doctor”,形成场景化记忆。
十、细节逻辑类考点
聚焦语篇中 “细微的逻辑关联”,需通过 “时间顺序、空间位置、因果链条、条件限制” 等细节线索判断选项,避免因忽略 “隐性逻辑” 导致语义断层。这类题目常通过 “时间副词”(如 “firstly”“finally”)、“空间介词”(如 “above”“below”)、“条件连词”(如 “if”“unless”)提供逻辑线索,是考查语篇精细理解能力的核心题型。
1. 时间顺序逻辑
选项为体现时间先后的词汇(如 “then”“later”“before”)或动词时态,需根据文中 “动作发生的先后顺序” 判断,确保时间线连贯。这类题目常通过 “动作描述的先后”(如 “woke up → brushed teeth → had breakfast”)、“时间标记词”(如 “at 8 am”“the next day”)构建时间逻辑。
【示例分析】I woke up early in the morning, ___ I washed my face and brushed my teeth, and then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
A. so B. then C. while D. since
解析:“woke up → washed → went” 是 “先后发生的动作”,“then”(然后)体现时间顺序;“so”(因此)表因果,文中无因果关系;“while”(当…… 时)表同时发生,与 “先后动作” 矛盾;“since”(自从;因为)既不表时间顺序,也无因果逻辑,因此排除。解题时可画出 “时间轴”,标注每个动作的发生顺序,再匹配时间逻辑词。
2. 空间位置逻辑
选项为体现空间关系的介词(如 “in”“on”“under”“beside”)或副词(如 “here”“there”“above”),需根据文中 “物体 / 人物的位置描述” 判断空间关联,确保场景画面连贯。这类题目常通过 “视觉描述”(如 “the box on the table”“the girl beside the window”)提供空间线索。
【示例分析】
The little girl sat ___ her mother on the sofa, listening to a story about magic.
A. beside B. above C. below D. behind
解析:“on the sofa”“listening to a story together” 暗示 “两人相邻而坐”,“beside”(在…… 旁边)符合空间场景;“above”(在…… 上方)、“below”(在…… 下方)描述垂直空间关系,与 “沙发上” 的水平场景矛盾;“behind”(在…… 后面)无法体现 “一起听故事” 的互动场景,因此排除。解题时可想象 “场景画面”,根据 “人物 / 物体的互动方式”(如 “talk together”“share a book”)判断空间位置。
3. 条件限制逻辑
选项为体现条件关系的连词(如 “if”“unless”“as long as”)或副词(如 “only”“just”“even”),需根据 “前提条件” 与 “结果” 的关联判断选项,确保逻辑严密。这类题目常通过 “假设、限制、要求” 等描述(如 “you can go out if you finish homework”)构建条件逻辑。
【示例分析】
You will not pass the exam ___ you study hard and practice more questions before the test.
A. if B. unless C. because D. though
解析:“will not pass” 与 “study hard” 是 “否定结果” 与 “必要条件” 的关系,“unless”(除非,相当于 “if not”)符合逻辑;“if”(如果)表肯定条件,与 “will not pass” 矛盾;“because”(因为)表因果,文中无因果关系;“though”(虽然)表转折,无法体现条件限制,因此排除。解题时可将选项代入原文,检验 “条件” 与 “结果” 是否形成 “必要 / 充分” 关联,如 “unless” 引导必要条件,“if” 引导充分条件。

One summer night, my friends and I stole into the Jordans’ backyard and started harvesting their sweet, juicy raspberries (树莓). We were enjoying every bite of the tasty berries 1 Mr Jordan came charging outside all of a sudden.
“What are you boys doing out here?” he yelled as my friends ran off 2 all directions. He attempted to catch one or two as they rushed past him, but they were too 3 for the older gentleman to catch. Within seconds, the boys 4 into the dark of the summer night, all except me. Speed was never my 5 . I took the tongue-lashing (痛骂) that Mr. Jordan gave me as he marched me down the block to my house, where my mother took over and scolded me 6 . My friends said they could hear every colorful word she spoke from the darkness of our backyard, where they had gathered to 7 their escape and to observe my capture.
They 8 me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain about how 9 it was that I was the only one who had to pay the price. After about a week of this, I complained to my father about the inequality of the situation. Dad said, “You took raspberries without 10 , and you get exactly the punishment you deserved.”
“But what about the other guys?” I asked. “They didn’t get punished at all!”
“That’s not my concern nor should it be yours,” Dad said. “You can’t 11 what happens to others. You can only 12 what happens to you. You made a bad choice that night, and you were punished for it.”
For the duration of the following years, I come to realize there is no 13 that life will treat us fairly. That’s why we can’t 14 comparing our lives with the lives of others. Like Dad said, that isn’t our 15 .

At 17, I quit school, left home and moved from place to place. Years later, I was 16 for possessing drugs. I’d never touched drugs, but nobody believed me because my wandering lifestyle failed to defend my 17 I was sent to prison.
My cellmate was Herbert. We both worked in the electric shop. I wouldn’t let the fact that I was 18 imprisoned defeat me; so to keep myself 19 I volunteered for extra work, My attitude and effort earned me Herbert’s confidence and friendship.
Before Herbert was 20 , he offered me a job at his big company. Never had I expected 21 would smile on me! Deeply touched by Herbert’s 22 I was determined that someday I’d help other ex-prisoners this way.
Once out of prison, I went to Herbert’s company, where I was 23 rapidly through hard work. When I had a 24 in employment, I began to perform the 25 I had made to myself. Through the years, we have offered over 300 ex-prisoners 26 jobs. We believe in them, regardless of their past.

Standing on the edge of the plane, my tandem skydiving (双人跳伞) instructor, Bill, turned to face me. “Do you have any last words?” he asked. “Yes,” I said, joking. “I hope my parachute (降落伞) 31 .”
I’d never felt more alive as Bill and I 32 and started our free fall. As we reached 4,000 feet, I felt a parachute open. This, I was told, would slow us down for a smooth 33 . But why were we still 34 so fast? I could hear Bill swearing as he tried to 35 whatever had gone wrong.
Worse still, our emergency parachute unexpectedly got 36 on something. At that moment, I just felt so 37 that I’d even invited my family along to experience sorrow instead of watching my wonderful performance.
We 38 the ground. An unimaginable pain shot up my back. Feeling weak and tired out, I gathered all my 39 , and turned to face Bill. He started screaming. From my neck down, I could hardly 40 . My mother couldn’t help crying as we were placed into a(n) 41 from the hospital.
After years of treatment, the deep physical and mental pain is 42 . I heard Bill made a full 43 and returned to skydiving.
I was always terrified of being myself and doing the things I wanted. Now I’ve learned I need to be 44 . There’s nothing like falling from 15,000 feet without a parachute and surviving. It forces me to 45 every day!

It was Jennifer Williams’s mother who got her interested in books. A librarian, she 46 to her three children every day. When Williams, now 54, became an elementary school teacher in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to 47 with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had limited 48 to books. To Williams, the 49 was simple: Give kids books. In 2017, as part of a civic event called Engage Dan-ville, she 50 900 used children’s books over three days. Most people would be 51 with that. “I was like, ‘Anybody could do that,’” she said. “I wanted to do something that’s going to stretch my faith, my work ethic, my everything.” So she raised the number 52 by setting a new goal for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like an 53 number. 54 , she got to work, first by roping in friends to give away books or money to buy books. Before long, as 55 of Williams’s project spread, strangers started leaving bundles of books on her front porch. As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schools—free of 56 —and also 57 books to little free libraries around the city of 41,000 just over the North Carolina border. She also 58 a book club for inmates in the local jail. In the four years she’s been doing all this, the Book Lady, as Williams has come to be known, has given away more than 78,000 books—only 922,000 more to reach her 59 ! And she’s not slowing down. It’s too 60 for kids with few options. “Reading can take you anywhere,” she told CNN. “You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything.”

Feeling unproductive even after working all day?
Do you ever feel guilty for relaxing, even after you’ve worked hard all day? Do you feel like you should be doing more despite working full hours and nearing burnout?
You may be experiencing productivity dysmorphia. Although not a scientific term, it’s a helpful way to describe the feeling of 61 to recognize your accomplishments and wanting to continue doing more, even when you’re completely drained. It’s the pursuit of productivity that motivates you to do more while 62 you of the ability to enjoy any success along the way.
Productivity dysmorphia may look like working 63 on the weekends because you think you should be doing more, even though you did more than your share of work throughout the week. It could look like feeling ashamed of yourself when watching a movie or hanging out with friends because it feels like you’re 64 time that you could have spent working.
Highly competitive, work-oriented cultures 65 this constant pursuit of productivity that affects other areas of life. 66 , you’re often praised for putting productivity above your well-being. Remember how schools rewarded perfect attendance? 67 , companies prefer employees who get the maximum work done while taking the fewest possible breaks. 68 like these stress that rest is bad and that being constantly at work is the right thing to do.
Sometimes called “ 69 capitalism,” this mindset pushes people to force their minds and bodies to work even though they’re 70 . The problem isn’t that the boss tells them to do it, but rather the social pressure to find self-worth in work achievements encourages people to dedicate their free time to extra work, 71 the family dinners to cat in front of a computer, and take work devices on vacations so they can wrap up a project on the plane.
There’s a difference between enjoying work, working a lot, and feeling compelled to work 72 whether you enjoy it. Popular quotes like “if you do what you love, you don’t work a single day in life” may normalize overworking under the assumption that if you’re 73 about something, you won’t ever get tired.
As people place more and more importance on work, it becomes harder to justify something if it doesn’t lead to productivity. Some writers have even begun describing rest as 74 , as if people should stop relaxing if it doesn’t improve performance in some way. Not only does this mindset make it difficult to view and celebrate your achievements, but it also pushes you to build your entire life around work. The only milestones that mater are achieving work goals. The worst part? There’s no sense of 75 when you reach these goals.

When I was a child, mealtimes were treasured family moments. My favorite dish was spaghetti pomodoro, simple pasta in tomato sauce. Our meals 76 fresh vegetables, fruits, and, in our teenage years, a glass of red wine. Occasionally, I enjoyed a few slices of prosciutto (熏火腿) , and outdoor sports kept me active. This traditional Mediterranean diet, rooted in centuries of cultural heritage, kept me healthy and proved to be beneficial for the 77 well-being as well.
In 2020, the Mediterranean diet celebrated its tenth anniversary as a UNESCO-designated “Cultural Heritage of Humanity.” Yet, surprisingly, Italians are 78 this healthy lifestyle. Fast food consumption is rising, portions are growing, and fewer families sit down for 79 together. Alarmingly, Italian children now rank among the most overweight in Europe, according to a World Health Organization study.
This issue extends beyond Italy to become a(n) 80 crisis. Malnutrition is a(n) 81 problem: while hunger is rising globally, with 821 million people undernourished, two billion people are overweight. 82 , one-third of all food produced is wasted. Livestock farming alone consumes two-thirds of agricultural land and accounts for half of agriculture-related greenhouse gas emissions.
Without immediate changes, this cycle will 83 . By 2050, the global population is expected to 84 by 2.3 billion, intensifying the demand for meat. Since the mid-20th century, the food system has prioritized quantity over quality, 85 vast food waste. A fundamental shift is urgently needed to focus on producing healthier, more sustainable food.
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals offer a roadmap to end hunger, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. 86 these goals requires governments to support sustainable farming practices, reduce food waste, and ensure healthy food is both accessible and affordable. Taxing unhealthy food is not enough; fruits and vegetables must become both profitable for farmers and 87 for consumers.
Companies must also 88 . At Barilla, we work with farmers to sustainably grow durum wheat, combining traditional crop rotation with modern tools like advanced weather forecasting. This improves efficiency, lowers costs, and enhances quality.
89 , sustainability must be joyful, not punitive. Food should remain colorful, appetizing, and social. The Mediterranean diet reminds us to 90 vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, reduce meat consumption, and enjoy meals together. By embracing these habits, we can nourish our health and protect the planet for generations to come.

Every year, the world loses some of its 7,000 languages. Parents stop speaking them to their children, words are forgotten and communities lose the ability to read their own 91 .
The UN’s culture agency, UNESCO, said predictions that half of the world’s languages will have died out by the end of the century are 92 . Some are disappearing with their last 93 . Thousands are 94 because they are not being spoken widely enough or used in formal settings such as schools or workplaces. The rate of loss is 95 , from one every three months a decade ago to one every 40 days in 2019 — meaning nine languages die a year.
A quiet 96 is under way in communities that feel their traditions are drowned out. Tochi Precious, a Nigerian living in Abuja, said: “It pains my heart every day to see that a language is 97 , because it’s not just about the language, it’s also about the people, the history associated with it and the culture. When it is gone, everything linked to it is gone too.”
Precious said it was this 98 that made her join efforts to save Igbo, a west African language that was predicted to disappear in 2024. Ensuring there is a(n) 99 of words and meanings, how it is written and how it is used is key, according to campaigners, who help others protect their languages through the organisation Wikitongues.
Online encyclopaedia (百科全书) is favoured by language activists as an effective and 100 way to upload media and build dictionaries. Wikitongues, in particular, focuses on 101 languages using collective resources free of charge, such as Wikipedia entries. Many language activists also create books, videos and recordings that can be widely 102 .
But after 103 , activists then have the challenge of persuading people to use a language. Precious said that even though Igbo is one of Nigeria’s largest languages, many parents believe only English is useful for a child’s future. But she said it gave her pleasure to see the language doing better. “I have realised that, yes, a language can be endangered but then the people who speak the language can also fight for its 104 . Because 2025 is already here, and definitely Igbo is not 105 ,” she said.

We all know someone like it. You probably work with or are even related to one. And with Christmas approaching, the season of office parties and family gatherings, you’re increasingly likely to have to 106 with one and rediscover just how annoying they are. We’re talking about the ‘know-it-all’. Individuals who will enthusiastically 107 you about any topic or area, despite clearly having little to no expert knowledge in what they’re talking about. And often, even though 108 do.
Why would anyone assume 109 knowledge to everyone else, about every possible subject matter? One is the phenomenon of ‘naive realism’, which describes how people instinctively assume that their 110 of the world reflects objective reality. In reality, everything we see and ‘know’ about the world passes through our brain’s shortcuts, biases, emotional memories, and other mental processes. What we believe is reality in our heads is often noticeably different from what is reality, but we don’t recognize this happening. 111 , we regularly encounter people who see the world from another perspective. But naive realism means we assume that those who understand the world differently are 112 . For a seemingly large number of people, this results in an irresistible urge to ‘correct’ others. It may be 100 per cent well intended, but that doesn’t make it any less 113 . However, this can’t be the 114 story. Many people experience naive realism, yet never do or say anything about it. True know-it-alls don’t actually wait for you to make a mistake before 115 to you. This suggests something beyond naive realism that drives know-it-all behavior.
Another cognitive bias (认知偏差) at work, proposed in a recent study by Gehlbach, Robinson, and Fletcher, is ‘the illusion of information adequacy’. Put simply, this describes how though many people 116 sufficient information to make accurate judgments about something, they’ll assume the opposite. It’s logically very hard to 117 what we don’t know.
Then there’s the Dunning-Kruger effect: the cognitive bias where people with limited competence in a certain area tend to 118 their abilities. Their lack of smart thinking means they struggle to acknowledge when someone else knows more than them, meaning they dare to argue with those who are better informed. And because people often respond more to 119 than accuracy, they often get away with it. If this happens often enough, across enough subjects, they could convince themselves that they’re 120 on pretty much everything, even though the opposite is true.

When I moved from New York City to Washington D.C. three months ago, I had to call cable and utility companies to cancel the services to my old apartment and fix the Internet service in the new one.
It was both time-consuming and 121 . Each time I called, I was greeted by an automatic answering system that tried to navigate me to a solution. When that 122 , I hit the button for a customer service representative. That was when the real pain started. All the representatives, I was told, were currently 123 and the estimated waiting time was 18 minutes in one case and 32 minutes in another.
I sank into despair once when the phone was 124 accidentally after it had waited for nearly 15 minutes accompanied by service promotion ads and monotonous music from the other end. At that moment, I did 125 my bank and utility companies in China where customer representatives seem always 126 available.
I don’t know how many people like to talk to a 127 . But this is an area where lots of jobs can be created in the United States, especially when 128 is still high — 7.7 percent in February, though the lowest since December 2008.
That 129 explains why when China created 12.66 million urban jobs in 2012, the US created only 1.8 million. And mind you, those Chinese jobs weren’t taken from Americans despite the fact that many US politicians and average workers seem to think so, and even use it as an 130 to gain political capital.
Two economists, Robert Z. Lawrence from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and Lawrence Edwards from the University of Cape Town shed light on the 131 during their talk at the Peterson Institute in Washington on Tuesday.
After conducting an extensive survey of empirical literature (实证文献) to date and, more importantly, carrying out their own in-depth 132 of the evidence, they concluded that rapid 133 in emerging economies (新兴经济体) is part of the solution to the US economic problems rather than their cause. The 134 contradict several popular theories on the 135 impact on the US of its trade with developing countries such as China and India.

My 91-year-old grandfather called me to 136 his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It 137 us both.
I soon found out there was another reason my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the 138 providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only 139 the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it.
Such 140 might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: What if it’s more common than we think?
It started with some research that showed people often underestimate (低估) the 141 of strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that 142 news coverage of current affairs tends to be negative because humans tend to give negative events more attention.
143 stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and less 144 than we need to be.
