专题18 完形填空精讲-2026届中考英语总复习（人教版）

专题18 完形填空精讲 题型解读 解题有法 (一)根据上下文确定答案 　　There were so many people on the bus that there were　1　empty seats.When a young man got on,an old man near him wanted to　2　,but the young man pushed him back to his seat.  “Thank you,”he said,“but please don’t do that.I can stand.” 1.A.many B.some C.enough D.no 2.A.sit down B.get on C.set out D.stand up 分析　第1小题所给的选项从单句来看均可和后面的empty seats搭配。但根据上文的“There were so many people on the bus”来判断,不可能有many(许多)、some(一些)、enough(足够的)“空位”。因此,该题的答案应为D。 第2小题所给的选项是四个动词短语,根据下文的“...pushed him back to his seat”和“I can stand.”可知答案是D。 (二)根据惯用法确定答案 　　It’s Sunday.Some students are going　1　a trip with their teacher.　2　their way they saw a bus behind them...  1.A.to 　 B.for 　 C.on 　 D.at 2.A.On 　 B.By 　 C.At 　 D.To 分析　短文叙述的是老师领着学生旅游的事情。第1小题,“go on a trip”是固定搭配,意为“去旅行”,所以应选C项。 第2小题是习惯用法,表示“在(去)……的路上”,英语中要用“on one’s way (to)...”,故应选A项。 (三)运用逻辑推理确定答案 　　Mr.Brown began to walk at eight in the morning.Now the sun was about to set.He was tired and hungry.He was walking slowly towards the　　　and his shadow lay long behind him.He had to look for a place for the night.  A.east 　 B.west 　 C.south 　 D.north 分析　此题所给的选项是四个表示方向的名词,均可和前面的介词“towards(朝着)”搭配,很难判断哪一个是正确答案。只有运用逻辑推理的方法才能找出正确答案。根据上文的“太阳就要落山了”判断此时应为下午,太阳是在西方。再根据下文的“他的影子长长地拖在后面”就可以推断出,此时布朗先生正朝着西方慢慢地走着,故选B。 (四)根据词语用法确定答案 　　A little cock lived near the river.One morning the little cock　　　his beautiful clothes and went for a walk by the river.On his way he met a little duck.  A.wore B.had on C.dressed D.put on 分析　所给的四个选项是一组同义词语,都可表示“穿”,但它们在用法上有所不同。wear和have on都可接“衣物”作宾语,意为“穿着”,表示状态;put on也可接“衣物”作宾语,意为“穿上”,表示动作;而dress的宾语只能是人,而不能是“衣物”。根据以上分析,再结合原句的意思,可以确定答案为D。 （1） [2025云南]话题：自我提升 体裁：记叙文 难度： There was once a young man who always saw the bad side of things.
