考前押题03 完形填空3大常考话题16篇
话题1 模范青少年
话题2 理智使用金钱
话题3 历史和考古
完形填空三步解题法:
1. 通读全文,抓主线(不看选项)
跳过空,读完,搞清楚:讲谁、发生什么、情绪是好 / 坏。 完形答案藏在前后句,只看空格所在句子非常容易错。
2. 逐空做题,3 个核心判断角度(完形考点)
① 上下文复现(最高频!) 前文或者后文会出现原词、近义词、反义词。 例:后文出现 puzzle → 前面选 solve(解开谜题)
② 逻辑关系(第二高频) 看前后是:因果 / 转折 / 递进 / 让步
转折 but:前后意思相反
因果 so /because:前因后果
并列 and:意思同向
③ 词义辨析 & 感情色彩 判断语境褒义还是贬义。四个单词中文看着接近,但场景不一样。
3. 回读全文验证
全部填完,完整读一遍,看情节顺不顺,逻辑是否连贯。

【导语】本文讲述中学生张鹏春节收到2000元压岁钱,一开始打算把钱花在零食和网游上。在妈妈的引导下,他阅读书籍,用空罐子规划存钱目标,慢慢学会存钱,最终买到心仪的篮球。这个经历让他懂得金钱的意义不在于数量,而在于如何使用,也让他学会理财,变得更有责任心。
【详解】
1.句意:起初,他很兴奋,想把大部分钱花在零食和电脑游戏上。
后文妈妈问他为什么不存一部分钱,说明张鹏一开始打算花钱消费,spend“花费”符合语境;save“储存”,waste“浪费”,count“数”,都不符合语境。
2.句意:存钱?但是我现在只想好好享受一下。
enjoy oneself是固定搭配,意为“玩得开心、享受”,本句主语是I,对应的反身代词是myself;itself“它自己”,himself“他自己”,yourself“你自己”,都不符合语境。
3.句意:在这本书里,金钱小狗教一个名叫Kira的女孩利用梦想罐子。
下文提到He took three empty tins,出现了tins(罐子),tins“罐子”符合语境;banks“银行”,boxes“盒子”,cards“卡片”,都不符合语境。
4.句意:他拿了三个空罐子,在每一个罐子上面写下自己的梦想:一个新篮球、一次北京之旅、给父母的礼物。
此处指代前面的three empty tins,是复数,介词of后面用宾格them;it“它”,that“那个”,those“那些”,都不符合语境。
5.句意:每个月,他把一部分零花钱放进罐子里。
前文提到张鹏准备了三个空罐子用来存钱,本句写他每月坚持存钱的动作,put…into…是固定搭配,意为“把……放入……里面”,into符合语境;on“在……上面”,for“为了”,with“和……一起”,都不符合语境。
6.句意:当他想买并不是真正需要的东西时,他会三思。
后文提到Slowly, he spent less and saved more,他慢慢减少开支、增加储蓄,说明想买非必需品时他会慎重思考,think twice是固定短语,意为“三思,慎重考虑”,twice符合语境;once“一次”,again“再一次”,aloud“大声地”,都不符合语境。
7.句意:当他把钱从罐子里拿出来的时候,他感到非常自豪。
前文交代他长期往罐子里存钱,半年后攒够了买篮球的钱,此时需要把存好的钱取出来,take…out of…是固定搭配,意为“从……取出……”,out符合语境;away“离开”,back“回来”,off“离开”,都不符合语境。
8.句意:数量并不重要;重要的是你如何使用它。
后文强调金钱使用方式比钱的数量重要,matters“要紧,有重大影响”符合语境;minds“介意”,works“工作”,helps“帮助”,都不符合语境。
9.句意:现在张鹏成了一个善于存钱的人。
前文讲述张鹏坚持存钱,money saver表示“存钱的人”,saver符合语境;maker“制造者”,user“使用者”,giver“给予者”,都不符合语境。
10.句意:他相信学会理财让他更有责任心。
前文写张鹏通过存钱这件事得到成长,学会管理金钱这件事使他拥有了更强的责任感,make sb.+形容词是固定结构,意为“使某人……”,makes符合语境;lets“让”,keep“保持”,turns“变成”,都不符合语境。

First, Tom decided to 5 his money. He wrote down all his expenses and set a limit for snacks. He only bought necessary things and saved the rest. He also tried to find 6 time to help his neighbour walk the dog for extra money. At first, it was not easy. Sometimes he wanted to buy ice cream or new stickers, but he thought of his goal. “I’m not in 7 —I need to work hard for my shoes,” he told himself. 8 him wasting anytime, he even used a tin that everyone can only take the money inside by breaking it. After six weeks of saving and planning, Tom finally had enough money. When he put on his new shoes, he felt so proud. Now, Tom always manages his pocket money 9 . He even starts to save for his school trip next year.

【导语】本文讲述九年级学生汤姆通过预算和储蓄买到球鞋的故事。他改变消费习惯,学会理财,强调了规划零花钱的重要性。
【详解】
1.句意:如果是这样,那是时候学习如何好好管理你的钱了。
根据后文“Being a smart money manager”的线索可知,要成为一个聪明的金钱管理者,就得学习管理金钱,manage“管理”符合,waste“浪费”与文意相反,lend“借出”和borrow“借入”不符合理财主题。
2.句意:他的父母每周给他50元作为零花钱。
根据“give him 50 yuan”可知,此处指把这50元定义为零花钱。as“作为”强调身份或性质,符合,or“或者”、for“为了”和from“来自”均逻辑不通。
3.句意:但是上学期,他想买一双价值300元的运动鞋。
根据“sports shoes”可知,运动鞋通常成双出现,用a pair of表示“一双”。size“尺码”、set“套”和group“群”均不符合鞋子的量词习惯。
4.句意:他意识到需要改变他的消费习惯。
根据前文“He used to spend it on snacks and toys carelessly”可知,他过去常常胡乱花钱,这是一种需要改变的习惯。habits“习惯”符合,hobbies“爱好”、wishes“愿望”和traditions“传统”均不符合语境中关于花钱方式的描述。
5.句意:首先,汤姆决定给他的钱做个预算。
根据后文“He wrote down all his expenses and set a limit”可知,他记下所有开支并设定限额,这是在做预算,budget“预算”符合。spend“花费”和cost“花费”侧重花钱动作,且spend的主语是人,cost的主语是物,count“数钱”无法体现规划含义。
6.句意:他也试图找空闲时间帮邻居遛狗赚取额外收入。
根据学生身份及打工赚零花钱的语境线索可知,此处是利用spare time“空闲时间”去遛狗的。important“重要的”、busy“忙碌的”和difficult“困难的”均不符合利用课余时间打工的逻辑。
7.句意:我不在梦境中——我需要为我的鞋子努力。
根据后文“I need to work hard for my shoes”的对比线索,可知此处指自己不是在做梦,要面对现实。in dreamland意为“在幻想中”。school“学校”、home“家”和shop“商店”等地点名词无法体现这种心理状态的对比。
8.句意:他没有浪费任何时间,甚至用了一个只有打破才能从里面拿到钱的罐子。
根据“he even used a tin that everyone can only take the money inside by breaking it”可推测,他使用罐子是为了避免浪费,即“而不是”浪费时间,Instead of“而不是”符合。In need of“需要”、In case of“万一”和In the middle of“在……中间”均无法表达这种替代或否定的逻辑关系。
9.句意:现在,汤姆总是仔细地管理他的零花钱。
根据前文他学会理财及后文“save for his school trip”可知,他现在管理得很仔细,carefully“仔细地”符合,grandly“宏伟地”、cheaply“便宜地”和carelessly“粗心地”均不符合。
10.句意:从现在就开始,你会发现逐步实现你的财务目标并不难。
根据“financial goals”可知,realise goals为常用搭配,意为“实现目标”,realise“实现”符合,turn“转”、give“给”和take“拿”均不能与目标构成合理的动宾搭配。
Passage 4
Do you often get pocket money from your parents? How do you usually 1 it? Some kids spend it all at once on snacks and toys. Others may 2 it in a piggy bank for future use. Which way is better?
Learning to manage money is an important 3 in life. A good way to start is to have a 4 . Write down how much money you get and how much you plan to spend. Then you will know 5 your money goes.
Another good habit is to set a goal. For example, if you want to buy a new 6 , you need to save a certain amount of money each week. 7 you save, the sooner you can get it. This gives you a strong 8 to save.
Also, remember that it’s okay to 9 yourself sometimes. If you reach your saving goal, you can use a small part of the money to buy something you like. This will make you feel 10 and encourage you to keep saving.

【导语】本文主要讲述青少年如何管理零花钱。文章提出制定预算、设定目标及适当奖励自己等建议,旨在培养良好的理财习惯。
【详解】
1.句意:你通常如何处理它(零花钱)?
后文分别介绍了不同孩子支配零花钱的不同方式,对应此处询问的是如何处置、打理零花钱。deal with“处理;应对”符合语境;turn into“变成”、make sense“有意义”、look for“寻找”,均和“支配零花钱”的语境不匹配。
2.句意:其他人可能会把它存进存钱罐留着以后用。
句中提到的piggy bank“存钱罐”是用来存放钱款以备后续使用的,save“储蓄;保存”符合存钱罐的用途逻辑;spend“花费”和“存起来留待以后用”矛盾,borrow“借入”、lend“借出”均不符合把钱放进存钱罐的行为。
3.句意:学会理财是人生中一项重要的技能。
理财是需要后天学习掌握的生活能力,skill“技能”符合对理财的属性定位;dream“梦想”、pleasure“乐趣”、date“日期”,都不符合“学会理财是一项重要的生活能力”的语义逻辑。
4.句意:一个好的入门方法是做一份预算。
后文提到“记下你拿到多少钱、计划花多少钱”,这正是做预算的典型操作,budget“预算”完全对应后文的行为描述;bag“包”、price“价格”、sale“促销”,都和记录收支规划的行为无关。
5.句意:然后你就会知道你的钱去向何处。
记录收支的作用就是明确自己的钱都花在了什么地方、流向了哪里,where“哪里”用于指代钱款的去向地点/用途;when“何时”、why“为何”、how“如何”,都不符合“明确钱的去向”的语境。
6.句意:比如,如果你想买一台新的笔记本电脑,你需要每周存一定数目的钱。
此处举例说明设定储蓄目标,laptop“笔记本电脑”是需要攒钱才能购买的个人物品,符合语境;bank“银行”、key“钥匙”、account“账户”,都不属于需要攒钱购置的消费商品。
7.句意:你存钱越快,你就能越早买到它。
此处是英语中“the+比较级,the+比较级”的固定结构,表示“越……,就越……”,The faster是副词fast的比较级,符合这个固定句式和语义逻辑;The fast、The fastest、Fast都不符合该比较级的固定搭配规则。
8.句意:这给了你一个强烈的存钱的动力/理由。
设定目标后存钱就能尽早买到心仪物品,这会成为推动人坚持储蓄的强烈动因,reason“理由;动因”符合语境;ending“结局”、size“尺寸”、feeling“感受”,都不能准确描述这种推动人存钱的驱动力属性。
9.句意:另外,记住有时候犒劳一下自己是完全没问题的。
后文提到“如果你达成了储蓄目标,可以用一小部分钱买自己喜欢的东西”,这正是犒劳自己的行为,treat“款待、犒劳”完全对应后文的描述;save“储蓄”、manage“管理”、control“控制”,都不符合达成目标后奖励自己的语境。
10.句意:这会让你感到开心,并且鼓励你继续存钱。
用达成目标后用部分钱买喜欢的东西,自然会让人产生愉悦的感受,pleased“开心的;满足的”符合情绪逻辑;worried“担忧的”、tired“疲惫的”、bored“无聊的”,都和获得小奖励后的正向情绪相悖。
Passage 5
When I was 10 years old, my teacher told me that many children in poor areas couldn’t afford to go to school. I felt very sorry for them and decided to save my pocket money to help one child. At first, I wanted to spend my money on new toys and snacks, 1 I gave up that idea. Every week, I saved half of my pocket money. It was 2 for me to not buy my favorite ice cream, but I kept going. After a year, I had saved 300 yuan. I sent all the money to a 3 organization that helps children return to school. A few months later, I got a letter from the girl I helped. She told me that she could now buy books and 4 to school. She said I was a very important person in her life. That letter made me really 5 .

The 8 of helping others can’t be bought with money. I believe that if everyone does a small thing, we can 9 the world a better place. My experience 10 me that even ordinary people can do something great for others.

【导语】本文中作者讲述了自己十岁时通过节省零花钱资助贫困女孩重返校园的经历,感悟到帮助他人的快乐及普通人也能创造美好。
【详解】
1.句意:起初我想把钱花在玩具和零食上,但我放弃了那个想法。
根据前后句意存在转折关系,可知用but“但是”。想买却放弃,表转折逻辑。so“所以”表因果,or“或者”表选择、and“和”表并列,均不符合语境。
2.句意:不买我最爱的冰淇淋对我来说很难,但我坚持下来了。
根据“but I kept going”,可知忍住诱惑是困难的,hard“艰难的”符合语境。easy“容易”、interesting“有趣的”、boring“无聊的”均不符合忍住诱惑的艰难语境。
3.句意:我把钱寄给一个帮助儿童重返校园的慈善组织。
根据“helps children return to school”,可知是charity“慈善机构”。business“商业”、travel“旅行”、science“科学”均与帮助贫困儿童的公益语境不符。
4.句意:她告诉我她现在可以买书并返回学校了。
根据前文“helps children return to school”,可知是return“返回”。leave“离开”、rush“冲”、drive“驾驶”均不符合重返校园的语境。
5.句意:那封信让我真的很快乐。
根据帮助成功且收到感谢信,可知是happy“快乐”积极情绪。sad“伤心”、angry“生气”、upset“沮丧”均为负面情绪,与语境不符。
6.句意:我学到了一点钱也能对他人的生活产生巨大影响。
固定搭配make a difference意为“有影响”,故选difference。decision“决定”、mistake“错误”、choice“选择”均无此搭配且语意不通。
7.句意:现在我仍然每年捐赠部分零花钱帮助有需要的人。
根据“help people in need”,可知是donate“捐赠”。lend“借出”、borrow“借入”、waste“浪费”均不符语境。
8.句意:帮助他人的快乐是用钱买不到的。
根据助人带来的正面感受,可知是pleasure“快乐”。trouble“麻烦”、pain“痛苦”、stress“压力”均为负面感受,不符。
9.句意:我相信如果每个人都做小事,我们能使世界更美好。
根据固定搭配make...a better place,可知选make“使”。find“发现”、change“改变”、keep“保持”均搭配不当或语意不符。
10.句意:我的经历教会我普通人也能为他人做伟大的事。
根据经历带来感悟,可知是teaches“教”。stops“停止”、asks“问”、allows“允许”均不符合经验传授道理的语境。

【详解】
1.句意:然而,动物和坏人会轻易进入他们的家,偷窃财物或伤害他们。
根据“steal their things or hurt them.”可知,只有进入家中才能实施偷窃或伤害,应用come into。come on“加油”、come from“来自”、come back“回来”均不符合逻辑。
2.句意:为了保护自己,他们建造墙壁以保持安全。
根据“To protect themselves”可知,建造墙壁的目的是保持安全,应用safe。warm“温暖的”、hungry“饥饿的”、lucky“幸运的”,均与保护目的无关。
3.句意:带着深厚的文化和历史意义,这些早期墙壁的一些遗迹今天仍能在某些地区找到。
根据上文“they built walls”可知,此处指代早期建造的墙壁遗迹,应用walls。tins“罐头”、combs“梳子”、doors“门”均不符合语境。
4.句意:为了保护他们的国家,一些王国在他们的国家周围建造了高墙。
后文介绍高墙把敌人挡在国外,说明建墙的目的是保护国家,应用protect。attack“攻击”、prepare“准备”、follow“跟随”均与建墙目的相反或无关。
5.句意:墙壁可以将敌人阻挡在国门之外,在发生战争时减少死亡人数。
前文介绍墙壁把敌人挡在外面,这能够降低伤亡数量,应用reduce。list“列出”、count“数”、collect“收集”均无法体现防御带来的积极结果。
6.句意:最早的墙形成于楚国和齐国。
根据上下文,此处表达最早的城墙在这两个国家出现、形成,应用formed。stopped“阻止”、refused“拒绝”、expected“期待”均不符合语境。
7.句意:长城的建造并不容易,充满了挑战,但工人们坚强的意志和创造力克服了一切。
前文说建造不容易,后文提及克服了它们,说明建造中充满挑战,应用challenges。attention“注意”、information“信息”、budget“预算”均无法被“克服”。
8.句意:今天,长城不再用于保护国家,但它始终是我们民族精神的象征。
根据“nation’s spirit”可知,长城是一种精神象征,应用symbol。dream“梦想”、plan“计划”、period“时期”均不符合文化意义的表达。
9.句意:它真正展示了古代中国人的勤劳和智慧。
此处强调长城实实在在体现了古人的勤劳智慧,truly表示“真正地”符合语境。hardly“几乎不”、luckily“幸运地”、probably“可能”均不符合语义。
10.句意:它也是中国宝贵的财富,具有很高的研究价值。
后文说长城有很高的研究价值,说明是宝贵的财富,应用valuable。chemical“化学的”、old-fashioned“过时的”、personal“个人的”均不符合语境。
Passage 2
The world is changing 1 . Everything around us is different from what it was in the past. Let’s look at how our life has changed over the years.
In the past, people lived in small houses and 2 communicate with others far away easily. They wrote letters to their friends and relatives, and it often 3 several weeks for a letter to arrive. Life was simple 4 hard.
Now, things are quite different. With the 5 of the Internet, we can talk to anyone around the world in a few seconds. We can also 6 information online and learn about what is happening in every corner of the world.
However, some things should never change. We should still 7 the old traditions and respect our elders. We should remember the history of our country and be 8 of it. The past is like a mirror. It 9 us not only where we came from but also where we should go.
We should learn from the past and work hard to 10 a better future.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述世界的变化,对比过去与现在的生活差异,强调传承传统、铭记历史的重要性,呼吁共创美好未来。
【详解】
1.句意:世界正在迅速变化。
根据“Everything around us is different”,可知变化显著且快,quickly“迅速地”符合。slowly慢慢地、quietly安静地、hardly几乎不,与语境不符。
2.句意:过去人们不能轻易与远方交流。
根据“In the past”及写信慢,可知是能力上不能,过去技术落后导致无法轻易交流,couldn’t“不能”符合。mustn’t禁止、shouldn’t不应该、needn’t不必,逻辑不通。
3.句意:信到达通常花费几周。
根据“It...several weeks”可知,主语是事,且表示花费时间,“It takes time”是固定用法,took“花费”(时间/it 主语)符合。cost花费(金钱/物主语)、spent花费(人主语)、paid支付(人主语),不符合。
4.句意:生活简单但艰难。
根据“simple”与“hard”构成转折关系,即虽然简单但生存不易,表转折,but“但是”符合。and和、or或者、so所以,逻辑关系错误。
5.句意:随着互联网的发展。
根据“With the...of the Internet”,应是科技发展带来便利,development“发展”最合适。 help帮助、invention发明、importance重要性,不符合。
6.句意:我们可以网上搜索信息。

7.句意:我们应该保持旧传统。
根据“should never change”可知,传承文化需要保持,keep“保持”符合。forget忘记、break打破、change改变,与文意相反。
8.句意:我们应该铭记我们国家的历史并为之自豪。
根据“be...of”及历史正面意义,对国家历史应感到自豪,proud“自豪的”符合。afraid害怕的、tired疲倦的、full满的,情感色彩不对。
9.句意:它告诉我们来自哪里。
根据“tell sb. sth.”双宾语结构,历史像镜子一样告知我们, tells“告诉”符合。says说、speaks讲、talks交谈,用法不符。
10.句意:努力创造更美好未来。
未来需要通过努力构建创造,“create a better future”为常用搭配,create“创造”符合。produce生产、discover发现、invent发明,不符合。

【导语】本文讲述仓颉造字的故事。仓颉十分聪明,黄帝让他负责记录事物。随着要记录的东西变多,这项工作越来越难。一次打猎时他从动物蹄印得到灵感,创造出文字符号,大家都很感谢他,后来仓颉变得骄傲。一位老人指出文字里的漏洞,仓颉发现自己混淆了符号,从此对待工作更加认真。
【详解】
1.句意:仓颉非常聪明,所以黄帝交给了他记录事物的工作。

Passage 4
Unit2 talks about money and treasure, while Unit3 shows us the beauty of the past. Real treasure is not always gold or expensive goods. Sometimes it lies in ancient history and cultural remains.
Lisa is a history‑lover. She saves her pocket money in her piggy bank 1 she can visit different history museums. Before she goes out, she always makes a small budget 2 she will not spend too much.
Last summer, she travelled to an old kingdom in the northwest. 3 she arrived at the local museum, she saw plenty of wonderful cultural remains. Some archaeologists dug into old tombs years ago and found these valuable objects. Detailed reports and multimedia shows help visitors learn about that special historical 4 .
Some visitors only look for expensive treasure. 5 Lisa thinks the real treasure is history itself. Ancient silk, old statues and palace remains all carry the stories of the past. 6 you do not open your heart to history, you cannot feel its magic.
While some cartoons create fun stories about ancient times, they are not the same as real archaeological facts. We should use our imagination, 7 we also need to respect real research results.
Lisa will not stop learning. 8 she meets some difficult mysteries of history, she will look for information on websites or ask researchers for help. She believes that she will know more about the past 9 she keeps studying.
Money can buy many things, but it cannot buy history. When we truly understand the past, we will have a deeper sense of 10 .

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述 了Lisa存钱参观博物馆,通过探索历史遗迹,感悟真正的财富是历史文化,强调学习过去的重要性,培养对历史的自豪感。
【详解】
1.句意:她把零花钱存在存钱罐里以便她能参观不同的历史博物馆。
空格前“saves her pocket money”是行为,空格后“visit different history museums”是目的。前后构成目的状语关系,因此应用so that(以便,为了)引导目的状语从句。
2.句意:在出门之前,她总是制定一个小预算以便不会花太多钱。
空格前“makes a small budget”是行为,空格后“will not spend too much”是制定预算的目的,因此应用so that引导目的状语从句。
3.句意:一到达当地博物馆,她就看到了许多奇妙的文化遗迹。
到达博物馆和看到遗迹这两个动作几乎同时发生,因此用As soon as(一……就)引导时间状语从句,强调到达后立即看到,符合叙事逻辑。
4.句意:详细的报告和多媒体展示帮助游客了解那个特殊的历史时期。
前文提到“考古学家多年前挖掘古墓,发现了这些珍贵的物品”,因此这里指的是那个特定的“历史时期”,应用period,符合博物馆参观场景。
5.句意:一些游客只寻找昂贵的宝藏,但是Lisa认为真正的宝藏是历史本身。
前句“visitors only look for expensive treasure”与后句“Lisa thinks the real treasure is history itself”形成了鲜明的对比(转折关系),因此用But表转折。其他选项无法体现转折关系。
6.句意:如果你不向历史敞开心扉,你就感受不到它的魔力。
空格后“not open your heart to history”是条件,“you cannot feel its magic”是结果,因此用If(如果)引导条件状语从句。Unless意为“除非”,相当于if...not,而从句中原本就有not,造成语义重复,句子逻辑矛盾。
7.句意:我们应该运用我们的想象力,但是我们同样需要尊重真实的研究成果。
“运用想象力”和“尊重真实的研究成果”两者之间存在转折关系,强调不能只靠想象,因此用but。
8.句意:即使她遇到一些困难的历史谜团,她也会在网站上寻找信息或向研究人员求助。
空格后“meets some difficult mysteries of history”是让步条件,主句“look for information”表示不受此条件影响,因此用Even if表让步。其他选项无法体现克服困难的决心。
9.句意:她相信如果她坚持学习,她会对过去有更多的了解。
“坚持学习”是条件,“了解更多”是结果,因此if(如果)引导条件状语从句,逻辑合理。
10.句意:当我们真正理解过去的时候,我们会产生更深的自豪感。
前文“understand the past”阐述了解历史文化的意义,产生的合理情感是自豪感,a sense of pride是常用搭配,其余选项不符合语境。

【导语】本文讲述了重庆八中女排姑娘们在半年内夺得两个全国冠军,她们克服困难、带伤坚持训练并最终成长的故事。
【详解】
1.句意:这是她们半年内的第二个全国冠军。
根据文末报道标题“半年夺得两个全国冠军”可知,这是第二个冠军,故选second“第二”。first“第一”、third“第三”、last“最后”均与事实不符。
2.句意:她们的道路并不容易。
根据后文描述的高温训练、受伤等困难可知,道路不“容易”,故选easy“容易”。busy“忙碌”、free“自由”、long“长”均无法体现艰难。
3.句意:她们在没有空调的小学体育馆训练。
根据后文"40°C 高温”可知,体育馆里“没有”空调,故选without“没有”。with“有”、for“为了”、near“附近”均不符合语境。
4.句意:每个女孩喝了三瓶水。
根据后文“训练后都空了”可知,水是被人“喝”完了,故选drank“喝”。carried“携带”、lost“丢失”、bought“买”均不符合逻辑。
5.句意:徐星宇手上有一道长长的疤痕,甚至植入了钢板。
根据后半句“金属钢板在她的手里”可知,疤痕也在“手”上,前后呼应,故选hand“手”。foot“脚”、back“背”、head“头”均部位不符。
6.句意:虽然她很痛,但医生一允许她就回到了球场。
前后句意为转折让步关系,用“虽然”引导让步状语从句,故选Although“虽然”。Until“直到”、Because“因为”、Unless“除非”均逻辑不通。
7.句意:队长伤了韧带,但她仍然每天来体育馆。
受伤与坚持训练之间是转折关系,用“但是”,故选but“但是”。so“所以”、or“或者”、and“和”均无法体现转折。
8.句意:我觉得自己什么都不是。
根据前文“坐冷板凳”可知,她当时觉得自己微不足道,feel like nothing意为“觉得自己没用”,故选nothing“无足轻重的人”。something“某事”、anything“任何事”、everything“一切”均不符。
9.句意:她慢慢从一名替补成长为主力球员。
根据文中括号内的中文提示“(替补)"及前文“坐冷板凳”可知,此处指“替补”,故选substitute“替补”。star“明星”、coach“教练”、leader“领导”均错误。
10.句意:离开球场后她们也努力学习。

考前押题03 完形填空3大常考话题16篇
话题1 模范青少年
话题2 理智使用金钱
话题3 历史和考古
完形填空三步解题法:
1. 通读全文,抓主线(不看选项)
跳过空,读完,搞清楚:讲谁、发生什么、情绪是好 / 坏。 完形答案藏在前后句,只看空格所在句子非常容易错。
2. 逐空做题,3 个核心判断角度(完形考点)
① 上下文复现(最高频!) 前文或者后文会出现原词、近义词、反义词。 例:后文出现 puzzle → 前面选 solve(解开谜题)
② 逻辑关系(第二高频) 看前后是:因果 / 转折 / 递进 / 让步
转折 but:前后意思相反
因果 so /because:前因后果
并列 and:意思同向
③ 词义辨析 & 感情色彩 判断语境褒义还是贬义。四个单词中文看着接近,但场景不一样。
3. 回读全文验证
全部填完,完整读一遍,看情节顺不顺,逻辑是否连贯。
