寒假作业08 完形填空10空特训（巩固培优）八年级英语新教材译林版

限时练习：40min 完成时间： 月 日 天气： 寒假作业08 完形填空10空特训 完形填空解题全攻略 一、 解题思路 核心思路是 “先整体后局部，先易后难，语境优先”，不孤立看待单个空格，而是依托全文主旨、逻辑关系和语法规则，结合 “语法、搭配、语境” 三重线索解题，最终回归全文验证答案合理性。 二、 解题步骤 通读全文，把握主旨 快速扫读文章首尾句和首尾段，确定文体（记叙 / 说明 / 议论）、核心人物、时间线和主旨大意，不纠结未填空格，标记明显的逻辑词（but/so/what’s more）。 逐空突破，先易后难 优先完成有明确线索的简单题，比如考固定搭配（pay attention to）、语法规则（时态、从句引导词）的空格；遇到模棱两可的题，做标记跳过，避免打乱节奏。 攻克难题，排除干扰 回头解决标记的难题，结合上下文隐含信息，先排除词性不符、搭配错误、逻辑矛盾的选项，再对比剩余近义选项，匹配语境语义。 复读全文，核查修正 填完所有空格后，完整通读文章，检查语法是否通顺、逻辑是否连贯、语义是否一致，修正与全文主旨冲突的答案。 三、 解题技巧 抓语法线索 关注时态标志词（now→现在进行时；yesterday→一般过去时）、词性匹配（副词修饰动词 / 形容词，形容词修饰名词）。 抓搭配线索 熟记教材高频固定短语（be worried about, hear of/about, cause trouble 等），直接锁定符合搭配的选项，排除搭配错误的干扰项。 抓语境线索 借助逻辑连接词判断句间关系：转折（but/however）、因果（so/because）、递进（what’s more / besides）；利用指代关系（it/this/that 指代前文内容）、语义呼应（前后句同义或反义提示）解题。 【易错提醒】 1.遇到近义词辨析题，紧扣语境区分细微差异（如 hear of 强调 “听说过某人 / 事”，hear about 强调 “听说某事的细节”）； 2.注意熟词生义，避免思维定式。 三层必刷：巩固提升+能力培优+创新题型 基础级 A With more and more rain falling, it’s time for snakes (蛇) to go out.

They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and prefer to live in groups. In California, there is another kind of owl 12 the Western Burrowing Owl. In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands. Later, people began building cities on many of the grasslands. This drove the owls off their burrows. So some of these birds were unable to 13 new homes. As a result, the number of Western Burrowing Owls in California was 14 than that in 1965. 15 the number kept falling, they would be at risk of dying out. 16 , scientists found out the problem some years ago. They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds 17 more “at home”, scientists played the recording sound of owl calls 18 these areas. They also used white paint to make fake droppings (假粪便) of the owls. This made the birds 19 that other owls were living there. As a result, they 20 their new homes and stayed there.

Guan Xiangyu is one of them. He works 23 an organizer for bird lovers. He spends half a year staying in Beijing and the other half travelling with his teams, 24 different kinds of birds, in different seasons. Guan started birdwatching over 10 years ago. He grew up in Beijing 25 he didn’t know there were so many kinds of birds in the city. Guan began to show 26 in birds after his college teacher advised him to join a bird protection activity. “To me, the biggest joy is to share the excitement of 27 seeing a bird that I am looking for,” Guan said. Beijing is a good place for birds. And experts (专家) record more than 500 species (物种) there. The main 28 is that Beijing is on an important flyway.

Spring is a time when the land 1 up from its long sleep, and the fields are ready for crops (庄稼). If you are lazy in spring, you will get 2 in autumn. So, farmers need to compete with 3 in spring. When I was a little girl, every weekend I was busy 4 crops. Whatever it was, I had fun and learned a lot. When we planted potatoes, we needed to cut the sprouted (发芽的) potatoes into parts and made sure every part of “seed (种子)” had one 5 two sprouts. It was really like a 6 game. Farm work is also teamwork. That’s 7 people of all ages are busy working together on the spring fields. While planting tomatoes, my father dug small holes (挖洞), and I 8 put some seeds into each hole to make them grow in the right place. The work was hard and 9 , but when we worked together, it became easier and more interesting. I also felt magic of life in spring. In a few weeks, the seeds sprouted, encouraging (鼓励) us to 10 them by watering and so on. As time went by, they grew into strong plants. Because of these wonderful childhood experiences, I hold such a special feeling for spring. 1．A．goes B．wakes C．takes 2．A．everything B．anything C．nothing 3．A．time B．weather C．land 4．A．planting B．selling C．harvesting 5．A．and B．or C．but 6．A．Chinese B．geography C．math 7．A．why B．where C．when 8．A．easily B．carefully C．widely 9．A．boring B．interesting C．relaxing 10．A．look up B．look after C．look for B Have you ever moved house before? How did you adjust to (适应) life in a new place? Recently, scientists 11 some Burrowing Owls (穴栖猫头鹰) settle (安置) into their new homes. Burrowing Owls are small brown long-legged birds. They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and prefer to live in groups. In California, there is another kind of owl 12 the Western Burrowing Owl. In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands. Later, people began building cities on many of the grasslands. This drove the owls off their burrows. So some of these birds were unable to 13 new homes. As a result, the number of Western Burrowing Owls in California was 14 than that in 1965. 15 the number kept falling, they would be at risk of dying out. 16 , scientists found out the problem some years ago. They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds 17 more “at home”, scientists played the recording sound of owl calls 18 these areas. They also used white paint to make fake droppings (假粪便) of the owls. This made the birds 19 that other owls were living there. As a result, they 20 their new homes and stayed there. Scientists returned to check on the owls. Most of them seemed to like their new homes. Hope they can enjoy their new lives there! 11．A．bought B．shared C．helped D．pressed 12．A．followed B．called C．arrived D．practiced 13．A．mark B．lead C．remember D．find 14．A．longer B．more C．smaller D．shorter 15．A．If B．So C．But D．Though 16．A．Certainly B．Hardly C．Luckily D．Heavily 17．A．look B．feel C．sound D．taste 18．A．about B．without C．under D．in 19．A．believe B．fill C．catch D．invite 20．A．printed B．accepted C．hit D．hurt C One day, Miriam got a letter along with a watermelon seed from Uncle Esai.

Maybe it’s Uncle Esai’s 21 , but why not have a try?” She planted the seed in the yard, and made her first wish, “I want the watermelon to grow as big as a mountain!” The next morning, Miriam was very 22 to see a huge watermelon in the yard. She couldn’t believe it. “I must 23 it at once!” She hurried to cut the watermelon, but it was too hard. She became angry. “This is a silly watermelon! I don’t want it!” Immediately the fruit became a seed again. Miriam 24 that her second wish had been granted. “Humph! This is not fun!” she cried. A few days later, Miriam found Uncle Esai’s 25 and read it again. She stopped when she saw the words “be patient”. How could she forget it? She rushed out of the door and 26 ran to the yard to find the seed. This time, she promised she would make the best use of the third wish. She thought for a while. “I hope my 27 could spend more time together.” But her parents needed to work. How could the seed help? Although it seemed impossible, she still decided to 28 the seed with patience. Miriam got some information about how to plant a watermelon, and then followed the steps carefully. When the seed turned into a normal sized watermelon, she 29 it with her friends and neighbours. Everybody liked its taste. Miriam’s family got the seeds from the watermelon and planted more afterwards. They were so delicious that the neighbours offered to buy some. The watermelons brought in extra money, so Miriam’s parents didn’t have to be away for work. They had more family time. Miriam finally knew what Uncle Esai meant—be patient, and life will be as 30 as a watermelon! 21．A．rule B．joke C．choice D．example 22．A．bored B．afraid C．relaxed D．surprised 23．A．eat B．wash C．climb D．draw 24．A．heard B．explained C．realized D．imagined 25．A．book B．postcard C．letter D．newspaper 26．A．calmly B．carefully C．politely D．quickly 27．A．class B．family C．teachers D．neighbours 28．A．put away B．talk to C．look after D．search for 29．A．watered B．protected C．watched D．shared 30．A．new B．big C．sweet D．quiet 拔高级 A Did you ever ride on a camel in the desert (沙漠)?
