考点深研●知能分层突破
夹叙夹议文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。
考点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。

But I soon learned otherwise: What needed mastering were my own habits — impatience, resistance to correction.
Everything changed in my first expert-led class. Surrounded by advanced 10 , I felt like a beginner when the instructor 11 singled me out for instruction. Embarrassed, I listened attentively, watched closely and 12 my body to move by copying him. Ultimately, this focus helped 13 my embarrassment.
In that instant, my emotion 14 , from embarrassment to empowerment.

1 your job to become your own boss has rarely been more popular. In 2022, new U.S. business applications hit a 2004-high, with over five million new firms. But when Silicon Valley Bank fell in 2023, small businesses lost access to their 2 , revealing the tough side of running a business.
Schreim learned this the hard way during the 2008 crisis. He paid 15 staff from savings, suffered sleepless nights and 3 . His later start-ups failed. “It was like trying to climb a mountain with no safety net,” he reflects. Even now, he regrets not to have 4 with his big consultancy job.
It isn’t 5 for business realities to conflict with expectations, says U.K. career coach Ayesha Murray: “As owners, we want success but often have 6 expectations. If you had a successful career first, there may be a(n) 7 next ventures will be smooth sailing.”

Passage 5
(2026年6月湖北十校高三下学期核心素养测评英语试题)I have always been indecisive when it came to travel. I’d watch endless videos of destinations and read scores of 1 online. But more often than not, 2 fell far short of what was promised. The colourful images I’d come across online would turn out to be totally disappointing in real life.

I felt rudderless(漫无目的的) without my phone to guide me while wandering through 5 neighbourhoods. I was so accustomed to 6 every detail about each place I visited and without that, I was exposed.
But that’s exactly why it’s so fun. Going in unprepared opens you up to 7 . Without being glued to directions on my phone, I was 8 so much more of my surroundings, noticing details that would otherwise have 9 passed me by.
Travelling without planning has made me more 10 with making decisions. I no longer 11 if the view isn’t as breathtaking as in the photos — because I’m not comparing my 12 to anyone else’s.
Trying to have the 13 holiday is no longer the point for me; it’s about living in the present and making good 14 . And in an era where we can see the best of everything through our phones, it’s been totally 15 to have an experience that’s entirely mine.

After retirement, with a doctor’s 6 , I returned to that park, no longer a watcher but inside the group, awkwardly moving toward the growth once seeded long ago. My early 7 were discouraging. I joined one class, then left; joined another, and 8 , failing to complete the routines. I assumed that mastering tai chi meant memorizing all the 9 . But I soon learned otherwise: What needed mastering were my own habits — impatience, resistance to correction.
Everything changed in my first expert-led class. Surrounded by advanced 10 , I felt like a beginner when the instructor 11 singled me out for instruction. Embarrassed, I listened attentively, watched closely and 12 my body to move by copying him. Ultimately, this focus helped 13 my embarrassment.

例2: We usually feel the desire to civilize teenagers, but maybe that’s wrong. We should think about how we could fruitfully be more like them.
I have always taken the 1 view that it is my job to 2 my teenager, but now I am thinking maybe it is his job to disorganize me. I am the 3 who arrives at airports four hours in advance. My teenager, however, is very Zen(放松). He 4 his eyebrows at my excessive worrying. I can suddenly 5 myself through his eyes, needlessly anxious, absurdly concerned with 6 . His way of moving through the airport seems 7 , wearing headphones, sliding indifferently, even if there is the slightest 8 that, left to his own devices, he would miss a flight.
My son recently wrote a speech based on Emerson’s idea about living “above time” — not thinking about either the past or the future, 9 to-do lists and existential(存在主义的) worries.

These include how engineering skills go into 11 a celebrity’s evening dress, how bakers need to know some basic chemistry, and how the mathematical algorithms(算法) of TikTok find new 12 for each user. In each of the scenes, students can see how artistic imagination and creative thinking 13 STEM education.

Passage 2
(2026届河南省三门峡市部分名校考前模拟英语试题)Sam Schreim has been his own boss for 20 years. He opened a consultancy and launched start-ups. But the 54-year-old now admits: “If I could turn back time, I might not have taken the leap.”
1 your job to become your own boss has rarely been more popular. In 2022, new U.S. business applications hit a 2004-high, with over five million new firms. But when Silicon Valley Bank fell in 2023, small businesses lost access to their 2 , revealing the tough side of running a business.
Schreim learned this the hard way during the 2008 crisis. He paid 15 staff from savings, suffered sleepless nights and 3 . His later start-ups failed. “It was like trying to climb a mountain with no safety net,” he reflects. Even now, he regrets not to have 4 with his big consultancy job.
It isn’t 5 for business realities to conflict with expectations, says U.K. career coach Ayesha Murray: “As owners, we want success but often have 6 expectations. If you had a successful career first, there may be a(n) 7 next ventures will be smooth sailing.”
Catherine Warrilow, who founded her PR agency in 2006, also faced this. From outside, it seemed a 8 move. The agency thrived, with 7 employees and top clients. “But I felt 9 always. Nothing felt good enough,” she says. The 10 made her a “control oddball”, micro-managing her team. It wasn’t what she 11 . “I thought running a business meant 12 — setting your own hours,” she admits. Reality? “Clients demand availability.”
So in 2015. the mother of two chose to 13 the company. “Quitting self-employment was my proudest professional moment,” she says. “A weight lifted off my shoulders.”
Of course, there are success stories; many who strike out on their own never look back. Still, Schreim warns against 14 others: “Entrepreneurship, innovation or excellence-creating can be a roller-coaster; therefore, you must be 15 of highs and lows.”
1. A. Keeping B. Getting C. Quitting D. Changing.
2. A. schedules B. accounts C. markets D. contracts

Passage 3
(2025-2026学年度江苏宿迁青华中学第二学期高三热身最后一卷)I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade, inspired by a light-hearted conversation with my cousin about scary stories. Hours later, I had 1 my first short story. Writing 2 became a beloved hobby, but as I grew older, the 3 began to fade. I started reading more books, encountering critiques online, and comparing my work to others. Self-doubt crept in, and what once felt like a creative outlet became a source of 4 . I felt I had to be “good” at writing to share it.
This 5 happens often. Hobbies start as a form of 6 , a way to relax ourselves. Yet, over time, societal pressures to 7 can change how we view them.
