寒假作业09 必修一、二 完形填空
完形填空考查学生在阅读理解基础上运用词汇知识的能力。在一篇220-300词的短文中留出15个空白,要求考生从每题所给的4个选项中选出最佳选项,使补足后的短文意思通顺,前后连贯,结构完整。以记叙文为主,兼顾夹叙夹议文,偶有议论文和说明文。记叙文以记叙为主,但一般会在文章结尾处有文章寓意等提升的议论色彩的文字。文章注重原汁原味,内容积极,贴近考生生活,传播知识,传递正能量,可读性较强。
1.记叙文
记叙文是完形填空常考的体裁,可分为叙事和记人两种形式,主要包括幽默故事,名人传记,事件叙述等。文章的选材大都是学生熟悉的话题,能够传递正能量,弘扬社会主义核心价值观,读后能带来心灵的启迪。文章大多原汁原味,语言地道,注重思想性和教育性,体现《普通高中英语课程标准》所强调的对学生英语学科核心素养的培养要求。记叙文完形以一般过去时为主,其他时态为辅;大量使用动词;适当出现直接引语。
技巧点拨
(1)读透首句,掌握主旨;关注末段,注意感想
重视首句,了解短文话题,明确叙述角度。叙述角度多为第一人称或第三人称。第一人称从“自我参与”的角度进行叙述,从字里行间可读出作者对人物、事物或景色的情感态度。第三人称从“旁观者”的角度客观地记人、叙事、状物。最后一段通常是作者的有感而发、心理体验或经验教训等。记叙文的最终目的是借助叙事来阐明一个道理,给人以启迪。因此要认真体会作者的写作目的,抓住文章的主旨。
(2)跳空速读全文,理清写作顺序,明确写作要素
跳过空格,快速阅读,领会大意,把握中心。从整体上把握文章的叙述顺序和写作要素。作者往往采用顺叙、倒叙或插叙等方法进行叙述。基本的写作要素包括事情发生的时间(when)、地点(where)、事件的内容(what)、人物(who)、原因(why)等。弄清了这些要素也就基本上抓住了文章的主体,理解了整篇文章。
(3)身临其境,故事重构
做题时可采用“角色渗透法”,即假设自己是文中的角色会有什么感受、做出怎样的选择等,走进作者思维,深入理解文章的含义,体验作者的心情以及观点和态度等,这样才能对故事或事件有一个贴切的把握,同时要结合文化背景知识和生活常识。
(4)浏览全文,复查核定
根据记叙文的线索,考生一定要进行回查,仔细推敲,校正全文,使故事恢复原貌。检查要点包括语意是否前后一致;上下文是否通顺连贯,内容是否完整;所选词汇是否符合语法、句法结构以及文化背景知识和生活常识是否合理。
2.夹叙夹议文
此类的完形填空所选文章常常在平淡的故事中蕴含着丰富的哲理,作者既可以让读者从一个简单的故事中体会到生活的意义,又能引起作者对人生、生活、社会价值的思考及对人际关系等话题的自省反思。这类文章的组织方式一般有以下三种结构:事例一观点;观点一事例;观点一事例一观点。
技巧点拨
(1)关注首尾,把握主旨大意
这里的“首尾”包括(语篇的)首段尾段、(段落的)首句尾句。通过首句/首段可明确文章话题,了解篇章结构,窥一斑而知全豹(把握主旨大意,即“文意”)。尾句往往是作者的点睛之笔,通过尾段/尾句一般可以更加真实、确切地体会到作者的写作意图、对待事件的真实态度等核心内容。
(2)抓住主线,理清情节发展
抓住故事的主线(篇章的“文脉”和段落的“文脉”),顺着这些主线,理清短文各段情节发展的脉络。考生要关注写人叙事的方法(对比、强调、举例、解释、递进等等),结合文章的结构特点,依据衔接词来正确理解故事情节的发展。
(3)注重语境,理解行文逻辑
夹叙夹议文以叙述为主,大部分篇幅在描述人物、事件,作者的观点及态度有时就隐含在其中;少部分篇幅发表议论,议论部分与叙述部分衔接紧密、逻辑严谨(通过“文法”来体现)。这就要求考生增强语篇逻辑意识,弄清文章内在逻辑关系,根据上下文内容,并适当进行逻辑推理来做出选择。
3.说明文
说明文往往围绕一个问题从不同的侧面来加以说明,通常结构严谨,句子结构复杂,因此也是高考完形填空题中较难理解的一种文体。其主要特点为:1.作者一般在文章的首句直接提出说明的对象,这是掌握说明细节的前提;2.一般按一定的顺序展开,理清文章的说明顺序,对于正确把握文意和上下文的逻辑关系,选择正确答案具有重要意义;3.往往采用比较正式的文体,表述准确严谨,生词术语较多,句子较长,结构较为复杂;4.一般采用简练的语言,按一定的方法介绍事物的类别、性质、特点、构造、成因、关系或事物的运动变化、发展的过程及其规律;5.讲究条理性,一般采取时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序或认知顺序来说明事物或事理。
技巧点拨
(1)快速掌握文章大意
对于此类文章我们结合选择项,进行粗读或略读,对文章的大意要先有一个大体的了解。说明文往往生词较多,而题材又比较广泛,所以阅读时,首先要能够掌握文章的大意。
(2)理清说明顺序
把握了说明顺序,就能准确把握文章的脉络,加强对整篇文章的理解。
(3)把握文章的组织结构和事实细节
说明性的文章一般都是一篇完整的、意思表达清楚的、逻辑比较严密的短文。在阅读这类文章时,要仔细研读文章的开头和结尾,从主题句着手,找出支持句,然后寻找文章的结论,不要被表面的一些细节所迷惑,在理解细节的基础上,还要斟酌文字的内涵意义,从而对文章进行深层次的理解。
(4)注重上下文语境
对特定的语境作深入的理解,克服“思维定势”,根据全文大意和词不离句、句不离文的原则逐项填空。
4. 议论文
议论文是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表见解或提出主张的说理性文章,主要是就某一主题,在摆出正反两方面观点的基础上,通过论证、推理、辩论等手段,试图让读者最终接受作者对这一主题的某种观点。议论文都是由论点、论据和论证这三个要素构成的,这也是一个提出问题—分析问题—解决问题的过程。 它的语言自然、客观、抽象、概括。
技巧点拨
(1)把握首段和首句完整的信息,把握全文的主旨大意
(2)把握作者的观点和态度
议论文往往体现作者对某一事物的观点,而作者的观点就是文章的论点。考生要把握作者的观点,把握作者对某一事物是褒还是贬,是赞成还是反对,而通常把握了作者的观点也就找准了文章的论点。
(3)结合论点、论据,找出正确选项
一般说来,能说明论据主要内容的答案可以在论点里得到印证,而论点里的某些答案也可以与论据有机地结合起来,使论点、论据形成相辅相成的关系,因而整个文章上下一致。如果我们所选的答案前后矛盾,论据与论点相反,最后的结论与论点相矛盾,那么我们就要重新回过头来理顺文章的各个部分,直到清楚为止,这样才能选出正确答案。
(4)通篇阅读,围绕主题(论点)推敲有疑问的题目,并最终确定答案。
逐题按照文章的内容及语境选择完毕后,一篇完整的文章便呈现出来,此时,要注意一定要通读全文,以验证个别题目的答案是否与主题偏离,以求更高的准确度。
三层必刷:巩固提升+能力培优+创新题型
一、记叙文
There have been times over the years when I have tried to leave Hailsham behind, when I have told myself I shouldn’t look back so much. But then there came a point when I just stopped resisting (反抗). It had to do with this particular donor (器官捐献者) I had once, in my third year as a carer, it was his 1 when I mentioned I was from Hailsham. He had just 2 his third donation, it hadn’t gone well, and he must have known that he wasn’t going to 3 . He could hardly breathe (呼吸), but he looked towards me and said: “Hailsham. I bet that was a (an) 4 place.” Then the next morning, when I was making conversation to keep his 5 off it all, and I asked 6 he had grown up, he mentioned some place in Dorset and his face went into a completely new kind of grimace (痛苦的表情). And I realized then how 7 he didn’t want to be reminded. 8 , he wanted to hear about, Hailsham.
So over the next five or six days, I told him whatever he wanted to know, and he’d lie there, all 9 , a gentile smile breaking through. He’d ask me about the big things and the little things. About our guardians (看护人), about the football, the little path, the duck pond, the food, the view from the Art room over the fields on a foggy morning. Sometimes he’d make me say things 10 ; things I’d told him only the day before, he’d ask about like I’d 11 told him. “Did you have a pond?” “Which guardian (守门员) was your special favorite?” At first I thought this was just the drugs, but then I realized his mind was 12 enough. What he wanted was not just to 13 Hailsham, but to remember Hailsham, just like it had been his own childhood. He knew he was 14 to death and so that’s what he was doing: getting me to describe things to him, so they’d really sink in, so that maybe during those sleepless nights, with the drugs and the pain, the line would blur (变得模糊) between what were my 15 and what were his.

二、夹叙夹议文
My colleagues and I have been teaching communication skills, and we talk about the power of words all the time. We think the words we use are at the heart of 1 , when everyone feels accepted, respected, and valued.
Over the last twenty years, I have 2 thousands of people. I have heard some 3 of the following many times: “How can I get my boss/colleague to 4 me like I am part of the team?” I have met young people who are made to feel like 5 by their older colleagues, often because the experiences that are shared are about something that happened long ago. I have talked with older people who feel out of touch because their younger and more culturally-current colleagues 6 talk about new developments in technology that an older colleague is 7 to know.
There are lots of ways we can make someone feel excluded and 8 . But often, in my experience, the words we use are a main 9 . The words have the power to make people feel included, but they also can make people feel 10 .
So, the next time you are in a 11 of some kind, be 12 . If you are in a meeting of engineers and there is someone who doesn’t “speak engineering” the way the rest of you do, 13 using fewer technical terms. If you are in a party and are not 14 whether everyone “speaks football”, think about talking about another 15 of your weekend.

三、说明文
The Pop-up Igloo
Polar bears are warm-blooded animals with heavy fat and fur that can survive in freezing Arctic temperatures. They have two types of fur—the long oily hairs and short thick hairs. By 1 the characteristics of these two hairs and their black skin underneath, the polar bears can keep themselves warm. 2 by polar bears, a team of students from the Royal Danish Academy designed a pop-up igloo(弹出式冰屋)—an emergency tent that might make survival in sub-zero areas much more manageable.
Led by Henry Glogau, the team said that their design aims to 3 those lost or stranded in extreme conditions. With little visibility and no phone coverage, people may face severe 4 while waiting for rescue in cold polar areas. Rather than fight against the extreme conditions, the team looked to use them to its 5 . “Inspired by snow caves and the conventional winter-used tents, we treat snow as a(n) 6 material rather than a burden,” the team told Vigour Times website.
The pop-up igloo adopts a mylar(聚酯薄膜) material, which works 7 to polar bears’ skin. Besides their thick fat and fur, polar bears have black skin underneath, which is ideal for absorbing rays from the Arctic sun to keep themselves warm. The mylar material gives 8 to its inhabitants in the same way by reflecting sunlight into the space inside the tent. The pop-up igloo also features an origami-like(像折纸的) design, which helps to 9 the snow and secure the tent. The origami pockets create areas where snow can 10 on the outside. It prevents heat from escaping from the tent, while holding the tent to the ground. Researchers ensured that the tent could withstand the weight of a 70kg human standing on top to remain 11 in extreme conditions. This adds another 12 layer to everything inside.
The team put the tent through 13 testing for one month in Alaska to see its capability. The results showed that at 11.8 to 15 inches of snow cover, a 37℃ 14 in temperature between inside and outside could be maintained on average. In the future, the pop-up igloos could be 15 along hiking routes in cold areas like the Arctic, where they could be set up in seconds when needed.

四、议论文
Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.
Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.

1、 学校生活
When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it. I was 1 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 2 to use at first. I would 3 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 4 English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the words are 5 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 6 to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 7 in learning a foreign language.
As I 8 , there is, in fact, often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two 9 in two languages. My aunt even 10 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 11 meaning of the word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 12 of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what she 13 .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 14 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 15 exposed (接触) to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. Because of this, I can express myself more easily in English.

2、 亲子关系
On New Year’s Day, my 13-year-old son Mike broke his leg while skiing. Honestly speaking, it was no more than another 1 in the past five years. My family had suffered a lot and we had 2 that spending time outside together in winter would bring great fun and lead us through the pandemic. Thus, I wouldn’t let this accident leave my kids in low 3 — I wanted to 4 the very best of better plans.
At dinner on a Tuesday, it came to me. In the coming springtime, I announced, we would have a family roller disco party in the house. My children looked up, their 5 hanging open like caught fish — they were 6 . I knew I was supposed to provide more 7 . I said, “When Mike recovers, we will order roller skates and rainbow strobe lights to decorate our doorways, push the furniture to the side and have a roller disco party.”
Later that day, my youngest son wore his roller skates and 8 the news when he joined a Zoom call with his third-grade class. Unfortunately, 9 he could finish announcing the news, he slipped and fell, breaking our computer. He was all right but we 10 bought a new computer.
11 , the accident didn’t affect us much, for the party gave us something to look forward to and kept us entertained. It may not have happened yet, but the 12 and joy that we experienced while 13 for it have been worth it. That was the 14 . Over the course of all the planning and excitement, the broken leg and computer, I knew that even in the 15 of times, there is always something to look forward to.

3、 人际关系—友谊
When I was in the seventh and eighth grade, I had to face one of my greatest fears — rejection (拒绝) by friends. It was a time when three of the most important 1 that my parents had taught me throughout my life came into use. My classmates put my sense of loyalty, friendship, and 2 to the test.
Our class consisted of 31 students who had 3 each other since the first grade. In junior high, most of us had chosen groups of friends that we 4 to hang out with during our free time. I soon found that the majority of our 5 began to make fun of my best friend and spread what weren’t true around the rest of the school. I didn’t want to have the same people 6 me, but I knew that I couldn’t just sit back and let my best friend deal with this 7 .
Every day I would think about my 8 , knowing that he was getting more and more 9 as time went by. I soon decided to talk to my mother about it, since she is 10 a second mother to my friend. Her advice was to be 11 and remain loyal (忠诚) to him. She told me that 12 is one of the most important things in life that helps a person 13 . My mother told me to have courage and 14 for my friend, even if it meant risking my own 15 .

DeGraff thinks illustrating everything that happens in a movie on one page is 2 to playing Tetris (俄罗斯方块) . “The work is 3 because I need lots of time to make sure everything 4 perfectly.” he says.
At first, DeGraff got a task to make a map for a travel article. Then he thought about 5 other things. He wished to build little movie worlds thinking it would be 6 . He started with movies that 7 him. As a child of the 80s, he loves Star Wars, so he 8 a single huge map of the first six Star Wars films. Now it has been 9 in his big illustrated book called Cinemaps. An Atlas of 35 Great Movies.
DeGraff uses a kind of watercolor paint called gouache. Once it’s on the paper, it won’t come off. so there’s no room for 10 . Also, making geographical sense of movies 11 means watching each movie between 10 and 30 times. DeGraff starts by writing down where all the main characters go. Next, he connects all the places and scenes together. After that, he maps out the 12 on a big piece of paper, which often takes several failed attempts before he eventually 13 a final design. Once he has got all the important factors under 14 , he is ready to paint. 15 each of the maps requires a great amount of effort. DeGraff loves making them and gets pleasure from his work.

In Grade 10, I was far from being the athletic type. I was short, thin, and the 1 person for any sports team. So I showed no 2 in an upcoming school basketball game.
One afternoon, my friend Leo came over to me. “Hey, we’re short one 3 ,” he said. I laughed. “Me? I can’t play basketball.” “You don’t have to be great,” he replied. “You just have to 4 .”
Unwillingly, I agreed, more out of guilt (内疚) than excitement. The first 5 was terrible. I 6 every shot, even ran in the wrong direction and almost gave up.

第一节 任务型阅读 (满分20分)
On a bright and sunny day, Ariel Rojas set off on her exciting adventure of hiking and bird-watching at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York. Little did she know that she would run into something completely unusual the day.
Just a mile into her walk, her eyes were drawn to a sight near the water’s edge. There lay a magnificent female mute swan. Rojas, who has experience working at the Wild Bird Fund rehab center in Manhattan, was well aware that mute swans could be quite aggressive. However, this particular swan was different. It remained still and made no move or attempt to attack as she drew closer. It was clear to her that there was something wrong with the swan and that it was in need of medical help.
Rojas took immediate action. She slowly and tenderly covered the swan’s head with her jacket, hoping to keep it calm. Then, with utmost care, she picked the heavy bird up, holding it softly in her arms. The next challenge was discouraging. The rehab center was across the East River, on the other side of town. How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? The thought alone almost made her desperate.
Just when hope seemed to grow weaker, a man cycling by appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer. There on the back seat of his bike was fixed a big-sized backpack. Rojas made two steps forward with efforts, “Help!” After several good glances at Rojas, the man stopped in front of her. With a concerned expression shifted from a confused one he asked “What’s wrong with the swan?” Rojas made a brief explanation as soon as she could, while the man listened attentively, his eyes fixed on the swan in her arms.

寒假作业09 必修一、二 完形填空
完形填空考查学生在阅读理解基础上运用词汇知识的能力。在一篇220-300词的短文中留出15个空白,要求考生从每题所给的4个选项中选出最佳选项,使补足后的短文意思通顺,前后连贯,结构完整。以记叙文为主,兼顾夹叙夹议文,偶有议论文和说明文。记叙文以记叙为主,但一般会在文章结尾处有文章寓意等提升的议论色彩的文字。文章注重原汁原味,内容积极,贴近考生生活,传播知识,传递正能量,可读性较强。
1.记叙文
记叙文是完形填空常考的体裁,可分为叙事和记人两种形式,主要包括幽默故事,名人传记,事件叙述等。文章的选材大都是学生熟悉的话题,能够传递正能量,弘扬社会主义核心价值观,读后能带来心灵的启迪。文章大多原汁原味,语言地道,注重思想性和教育性,体现《普通高中英语课程标准》所强调的对学生英语学科核心素养的培养要求。记叙文完形以一般过去时为主,其他时态为辅;大量使用动词;适当出现直接引语。
技巧点拨
(1)读透首句,掌握主旨;关注末段,注意感想
重视首句,了解短文话题,明确叙述角度。叙述角度多为第一人称或第三人称。第一人称从“自我参与”的角度进行叙述,从字里行间可读出作者对人物、事物或景色的情感态度。第三人称从“旁观者”的角度客观地记人、叙事、状物。最后一段通常是作者的有感而发、心理体验或经验教训等。记叙文的最终目的是借助叙事来阐明一个道理,给人以启迪。因此要认真体会作者的写作目的,抓住文章的主旨。
(2)跳空速读全文,理清写作顺序,明确写作要素
跳过空格,快速阅读,领会大意,把握中心。从整体上把握文章的叙述顺序和写作要素。作者往往采用顺叙、倒叙或插叙等方法进行叙述。基本的写作要素包括事情发生的时间(when)、地点(where)、事件的内容(what)、人物(who)、原因(why)等。弄清了这些要素也就基本上抓住了文章的主体,理解了整篇文章。
(3)身临其境,故事重构
做题时可采用“角色渗透法”,即假设自己是文中的角色会有什么感受、做出怎样的选择等,走进作者思维,深入理解文章的含义,体验作者的心情以及观点和态度等,这样才能对故事或事件有一个贴切的把握,同时要结合文化背景知识和生活常识。
(4)浏览全文,复查核定
根据记叙文的线索,考生一定要进行回查,仔细推敲,校正全文,使故事恢复原貌。检查要点包括语意是否前后一致;上下文是否通顺连贯,内容是否完整;所选词汇是否符合语法、句法结构以及文化背景知识和生活常识是否合理。
2.夹叙夹议文
此类的完形填空所选文章常常在平淡的故事中蕴含着丰富的哲理,作者既可以让读者从一个简单的故事中体会到生活的意义,又能引起作者对人生、生活、社会价值的思考及对人际关系等话题的自省反思。这类文章的组织方式一般有以下三种结构:事例一观点;观点一事例;观点一事例一观点。
技巧点拨
(1)关注首尾,把握主旨大意
这里的“首尾”包括(语篇的)首段尾段、(段落的)首句尾句。通过首句/首段可明确文章话题,了解篇章结构,窥一斑而知全豹(把握主旨大意,即“文意”)。尾句往往是作者的点睛之笔,通过尾段/尾句一般可以更加真实、确切地体会到作者的写作意图、对待事件的真实态度等核心内容。
(2)抓住主线,理清情节发展
抓住故事的主线(篇章的“文脉”和段落的“文脉”),顺着这些主线,理清短文各段情节发展的脉络。考生要关注写人叙事的方法(对比、强调、举例、解释、递进等等),结合文章的结构特点,依据衔接词来正确理解故事情节的发展。
(3)注重语境,理解行文逻辑
夹叙夹议文以叙述为主,大部分篇幅在描述人物、事件,作者的观点及态度有时就隐含在其中;少部分篇幅发表议论,议论部分与叙述部分衔接紧密、逻辑严谨(通过“文法”来体现)。这就要求考生增强语篇逻辑意识,弄清文章内在逻辑关系,根据上下文内容,并适当进行逻辑推理来做出选择。
3.说明文
说明文往往围绕一个问题从不同的侧面来加以说明,通常结构严谨,句子结构复杂,因此也是高考完形填空题中较难理解的一种文体。其主要特点为:1.作者一般在文章的首句直接提出说明的对象,这是掌握说明细节的前提;2.一般按一定的顺序展开,理清文章的说明顺序,对于正确把握文意和上下文的逻辑关系,选择正确答案具有重要意义;3.往往采用比较正式的文体,表述准确严谨,生词术语较多,句子较长,结构较为复杂;4.一般采用简练的语言,按一定的方法介绍事物的类别、性质、特点、构造、成因、关系或事物的运动变化、发展的过程及其规律;5.讲究条理性,一般采取时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序或认知顺序来说明事物或事理。
技巧点拨
(1)快速掌握文章大意
对于此类文章我们结合选择项,进行粗读或略读,对文章的大意要先有一个大体的了解。说明文往往生词较多,而题材又比较广泛,所以阅读时,首先要能够掌握文章的大意。
(2)理清说明顺序
把握了说明顺序,就能准确把握文章的脉络,加强对整篇文章的理解。
(3)把握文章的组织结构和事实细节
说明性的文章一般都是一篇完整的、意思表达清楚的、逻辑比较严密的短文。在阅读这类文章时,要仔细研读文章的开头和结尾,从主题句着手,找出支持句,然后寻找文章的结论,不要被表面的一些细节所迷惑,在理解细节的基础上,还要斟酌文字的内涵意义,从而对文章进行深层次的理解。
(4)注重上下文语境
对特定的语境作深入的理解,克服“思维定势”,根据全文大意和词不离句、句不离文的原则逐项填空。
4. 议论文
议论文是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表见解或提出主张的说理性文章,主要是就某一主题,在摆出正反两方面观点的基础上,通过论证、推理、辩论等手段,试图让读者最终接受作者对这一主题的某种观点。议论文都是由论点、论据和论证这三个要素构成的,这也是一个提出问题—分析问题—解决问题的过程。 它的语言自然、客观、抽象、概括。
技巧点拨
(1)把握首段和首句完整的信息,把握全文的主旨大意
(2)把握作者的观点和态度
议论文往往体现作者对某一事物的观点,而作者的观点就是文章的论点。考生要把握作者的观点,把握作者对某一事物是褒还是贬,是赞成还是反对,而通常把握了作者的观点也就找准了文章的论点。
(3)结合论点、论据,找出正确选项
一般说来,能说明论据主要内容的答案可以在论点里得到印证,而论点里的某些答案也可以与论据有机地结合起来,使论点、论据形成相辅相成的关系,因而整个文章上下一致。如果我们所选的答案前后矛盾,论据与论点相反,最后的结论与论点相矛盾,那么我们就要重新回过头来理顺文章的各个部分,直到清楚为止,这样才能选出正确答案。
(4)通篇阅读,围绕主题(论点)推敲有疑问的题目,并最终确定答案。
逐题按照文章的内容及语境选择完毕后,一篇完整的文章便呈现出来,此时,要注意一定要通读全文,以验证个别题目的答案是否与主题偏离,以求更高的准确度。
三层必刷:巩固提升+能力培优+创新题型
一、记叙文
There have been times over the years when I have tried to leave Hailsham behind, when I have told myself I shouldn’t look back so much. But then there came a point when I just stopped resisting (反抗). It had to do with this particular donor (器官捐献者) I had once, in my third year as a carer, it was his 1 when I mentioned I was from Hailsham. He had just 2 his third donation, it hadn’t gone well, and he must have known that he wasn’t going to 3 . He could hardly breathe (呼吸), but he looked towards me and said: “Hailsham. I bet that was a (an) 4 place.” Then the next morning, when I was making conversation to keep his 5 off it all, and I asked 6 he had grown up, he mentioned some place in Dorset and his face went into a completely new kind of grimace (痛苦的表情). And I realized then how 7 he didn’t want to be reminded. 8 , he wanted to hear about, Hailsham.
So over the next five or six days, I told him whatever he wanted to know, and he’d lie there, all 9 , a gentile smile breaking through. He’d ask me about the big things and the little things. About our guardians (看护人), about the football, the little path, the duck pond, the food, the view from the Art room over the fields on a foggy morning. Sometimes he’d make me say things 10 ; things I’d told him only the day before, he’d ask about like I’d 11 told him. “Did you have a pond?” “Which guardian (守门员) was your special favorite?” At first I thought this was just the drugs, but then I realized his mind was 12 enough. What he wanted was not just to 13 Hailsham, but to remember Hailsham, just like it had been his own childhood. He knew he was 14 to death and so that’s what he was doing: getting me to describe things to him, so they’d really sink in, so that maybe during those sleepless nights, with the drugs and the pain, the line would blur (变得模糊) between what were my 15 and what were his.

二、夹叙夹议文
My colleagues and I have been teaching communication skills, and we talk about the power of words all the time. We think the words we use are at the heart of 1 , when everyone feels accepted, respected, and valued.
Over the last twenty years, I have 2 thousands of people. I have heard some 3 of the following many times: “How can I get my boss/colleague to 4 me like I am part of the team?” I have met young people who are made to feel like 5 by their older colleagues, often because the experiences that are shared are about something that happened long ago. I have talked with older people who feel out of touch because their younger and more culturally-current colleagues 6 talk about new developments in technology that an older colleague is 7 to know.
There are lots of ways we can make someone feel excluded and 8 . But often, in my experience, the words we use are a main 9 . The words have the power to make people feel included, but they also can make people feel 10 .
So, the next time you are in a 11 of some kind, be 12 . If you are in a meeting of engineers and there is someone who doesn’t “speak engineering” the way the rest of you do, 13 using fewer technical terms. If you are in a party and are not 14 whether everyone “speaks football”, think about talking about another 15 of your weekend.

三、说明文
The Pop-up Igloo
Polar bears are warm-blooded animals with heavy fat and fur that can survive in freezing Arctic temperatures. They have two types of fur—the long oily hairs and short thick hairs. By 1 the characteristics of these two hairs and their black skin underneath, the polar bears can keep themselves warm. 2 by polar bears, a team of students from the Royal Danish Academy designed a pop-up igloo(弹出式冰屋)—an emergency tent that might make survival in sub-zero areas much more manageable.
Led by Henry Glogau, the team said that their design aims to 3 those lost or stranded in extreme conditions. With little visibility and no phone coverage, people may face severe 4 while waiting for rescue in cold polar areas. Rather than fight against the extreme conditions, the team looked to use them to its 5 . “Inspired by snow caves and the conventional winter-used tents, we treat snow as a(n) 6 material rather than a burden,” the team told Vigour Times website.
The pop-up igloo adopts a mylar(聚酯薄膜) material, which works 7 to polar bears’ skin. Besides their thick fat and fur, polar bears have black skin underneath, which is ideal for absorbing rays from the Arctic sun to keep themselves warm. The mylar material gives 8 to its inhabitants in the same way by reflecting sunlight into the space inside the tent. The pop-up igloo also features an origami-like(像折纸的) design, which helps to 9 the snow and secure the tent. The origami pockets create areas where snow can 10 on the outside. It prevents heat from escaping from the tent, while holding the tent to the ground. Researchers ensured that the tent could withstand the weight of a 70kg human standing on top to remain 11 in extreme conditions. This adds another 12 layer to everything inside.
The team put the tent through 13 testing for one month in Alaska to see its capability. The results showed that at 11.8 to 15 inches of snow cover, a 37℃ 14 in temperature between inside and outside could be maintained on average. In the future, the pop-up igloos could be 15 along hiking routes in cold areas like the Arctic, where they could be set up in seconds when needed.

四、议论文
Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.
Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.

1、 学校生活
When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it. I was 1 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 2 to use at first. I would 3 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 4 English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the words are 5 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 6 to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 7 in learning a foreign language.
As I 8 , there is, in fact, often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two 9 in two languages. My aunt even 10 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 11 meaning of the word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 12 of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what she 13 .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 14 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 15 exposed (接触) to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. Because of this, I can express myself more easily in English.

2.A.difficult B.interesting C.important D.practical
3.A.set up B.look up C.pick up D.take up
4.A.new B.familiar C.informed D.confusing
5.A.explained B.expressed C.described D.created
6.A.appreciation B.courage C.advice D.power
7.A.more natural B.better C.more convenient D.easier
8.A.checked out B.broke out C.found out D.turned out
9.A.words B.names C.ideas D.characters
10.A.hoped B.declared C.complained D.dreamt
11.A.exact B.basic C.translated D.expected
12.A.understanding B.practice C.expression D.consideration
13.A.wanted B.preferred C.meant D.suffered
14.A.extra B.average C.total D.limited
15.A.repeatedly B.nearly C.immediately D.anxiously

第一节 任务型阅读 (满分20分)
On a bright and sunny day, Ariel Rojas set off on her exciting adventure of hiking and bird-watching at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York. Little did she know that she would run into something completely unusual the day.
Just a mile into her walk, her eyes were drawn to a sight near the water’s edge. There lay a magnificent female mute swan. Rojas, who has experience working at the Wild Bird Fund rehab center in Manhattan, was well aware that mute swans could be quite aggressive. However, this particular swan was different. It remained still and made no move or attempt to attack as she drew closer. It was clear to her that there was something wrong with the swan and that it was in need of medical help.
Rojas took immediate action. She slowly and tenderly covered the swan’s head with her jacket, hoping to keep it calm. Then, with utmost care, she picked the heavy bird up, holding it softly in her arms. The next challenge was discouraging. The rehab center was across the East River, on the other side of town. How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? The thought alone almost made her desperate.
Just when hope seemed to grow weaker, a man cycling by appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer. There on the back seat of his bike was fixed a big-sized backpack. Rojas made two steps forward with efforts, “Help!” After several good glances at Rojas, the man stopped in front of her. With a concerned expression shifted from a confused one he asked “What’s wrong with the swan?” Rojas made a brief explanation as soon as she could, while the man listened attentively, his eyes fixed on the swan in her arms.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Ariel Rojas在野生动物保护区徒步观鸟时,发现一只哑天鹅状态不佳需救助。她抱起天鹅后因康复中心很远而发愁,此时一名骑自行车的人出现,Rojas向其简短解释了天鹅的情况。
(1) 考查名词。根据第一段中“On a bright and sunny day, Ariel Rojas set off on her exciting adventure of hiking and bird-watching at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York. (在一个阳光明媚的日子里,Ariel Rojas在纽约皇后区的牙买加湾野生动物保护区开始了她令人兴奋的徒步旅行和观鸟之旅)”可知,名词exploration“探索,探险”符合题意,表示Rojas开启了她在自然保护区内的探险之旅。故填exploration。
(2) 考查动词。根据第一段中“Little did she know that this day would be filled with an extraordinary encounter. (她不知道这一天将会有一场不同寻常的邂逅)”可知,她完全没想到之后会遇到这样一件意想不到的事情。形容词unexpected符合题意,表示她不知道自己接下来会遇到什么,修饰incident。故填unexpected。
(3) 考查动词。根据第二段“There lay a magnificent female mute swan.(那里躺着一只姿态优美的雌性疣鼻天鹅)”可知,罗贾斯发现一只哑哑叫的天鹅静静地躺在水边,当她靠近它时,它丝毫没有攻击她的迹象。表示“躺着”用动词lie,修饰swan且为主动关系,故用现在分词形式,故填lying。
(4) 考查动词。根据第二段中“It remained still and made no move or attempt to attack as she drew closer. (当她走近时,它仍然一动不动,没有移动或试图攻击)”可知,罗贾斯发现一只哑哑叫的天鹅静静地躺在水边,当她靠近它时,它丝毫没有攻击她的迹象。动词approach“靠近”符合题意,表示在她靠近时,此处可用一般过去时,表示是过去发生的行为,也可用过去进行时,表示在靠近这一行为进行的情况下,主语为she,be动词需用was。故填approached/was approaching。
(5) 考查形容词。根据第二段中“It was clear to her that there was something wrong with the swan and that it was in need of medical help. (她很清楚,这只天鹅出了问题,需要医疗救助)”可知,名词assistance“救助”符合题意,表示天鹅需要医疗救助。故填assistance。
(6) 考查名词。根据第三段中“Rojas took immediate action. (Rojas立即采取了行动)”可知,名词response“反应”符合题意,表示迅速反应。故填response。
(7) 考查副词。根据第三段中“Then, with utmost care, she picked the heavy bird up, holding it softly in her arms. (然后,她小心翼翼地把那只沉重的鸟抱起来,轻轻地抱在怀里)”可知,副词gently“轻柔地”符合题意,表示轻柔地把它抱在怀里。故填gently。
(8) 考查形容词。根据第三段中“How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? The thought alone seemed almost impossible. (她一个人怎么可能带着这么大的天鹅离开这里?光是这个想法似乎就几乎是不可能的)”可知,她发现自己独自一人根本无法把这只沉重的天鹅运送到康复中心。用形容词impossible。故填impossible。
(9) 考查名词。根据第四段“Just when hope seemed to grow weaker, a man cycling by appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer.(就在希望似乎愈发渺茫之时,一个骑着自行车经过的人出现在了路的尽头,并且越走越近了)”可知,罗哈斯向刚刚路过的一位骑自行车的人求助,并向他详细说明了情况。为单数名词cyclist。故填cyclist。
(10) 考查名词。根据第四段中“After several good glances at Rojas, the cyclist stopped in front of her, his expression having shifted from confusion to concern, “What’s wrong with the swan?”(仔细看了Rojas几眼后,骑行者停在了她面前,他的表情从困惑变成了担心:“天鹅怎么了?”)”可知,当那个人的困惑逐渐转变为对那只天鹅的担忧时,情况似乎变得乐观起来。表示“担忧”用名词confusion。故填confusion。
【11题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The next challenge was discouraging. The rehab center was across the East River, on the other side of town. How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? (下一个挑战令人沮丧。康复中心在东河对岸,在城镇另一边。她一个人怎么可能带着这么大的天鹅离开这里)”可知,Rojas决定把这只哑天鹅送到康复中心接受治疗,但它太重了,她无法运送。故答案为:She decided to send the mute swan to the rehab center for medical help, but it was too heavy for her to carry.
【12题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Just when hope seemed to grow weak, a cyclist appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer. There on the back seat of his bike was fixed a big-sized backpack. (就在希望似乎越来越渺茫的时候,一个骑行者出现在路的尽头,越走越近。在他的自行车后座上固定着一个很大的背包)”可知,骑行者有自行车以及背包,都可以运送这只天鹅。由此推知,他可能会把自己的自行车或背包给Rojas,让她运送天鹅,或者他会用他的自行车载着这只哑天鹅陪Rojas去康复中心。故答案可为:He would give his bike/backpack to Rojas for her to transport the swan. /He would accompany Rojas to the rehab center with his bike carrying the mute swan.
【13题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Rojas made a brief explanation as soon as she could, while the cyclist listened attentively, his eyes fixed on the swan in her arms. (Rojas尽可能快地做了一个简短的解释,而骑行者则专注地听着,眼睛盯着她怀里的天鹅)”可推知,骑行者在听了Rojas的解释后,可能会伸出援助之手,在这只哑天鹅接受了及时的治疗并恢复健康后,便将其放飞了。故答案可为:Rojas would set the mute swan free after it got medical treatment in time and came back to life soon.
