(2024 年 1 月浙江省高考真题)While taking a 20-hour train ride along the edge of the
Taklimakan Desert in northwestern China, I had the kind of humbling, educational, and above all
else, wonderful 43 with a local that all travelers long for. A young Chinese man 44
me on the train. My 45 friend spoke virtually no English, so I happily took the 46
to practice my Chinese.
Over several hours, he would tell me about how he had 47 a two-year professional
school to quickly find a job 48 highways in order to help support his family. Perhaps the
most 49 , however, was the fact that this man spent hours studying every day after hard
physical labor. Without batting an eye, he would 50 a translated Emerson passage before
asking about the literary influence of American 51 as a whole. ”And what do you all
learn about Russian authors?” I 52 him asking at one point.
It would have been easy to 53 my assumptions about this highway builder who had
never been more than a few hundred miles from home. But this highly informed, 54 ,
and admirable person prevented me doing so. In the course of a couple of hours, he 55
me just how much one can gain from 56 with an open mind, and a willingness to
57 with locals from all walks of life.

As reported by a local newspaper, Bailey was more than two-thirds of the way through her 61

回顾核心考点 完形原则
跳读首尾句进行预测
利用语法分析解题
利用固定搭配解题
利用固定句型解题
利用复现信息解题
利用跳读法解题
巧用排除法解题
利用逻辑关系解题
巧用背景常识解题
利用对比结构解题
利用平行结构解题
利用暗示和对应解题
根据文章的感情色彩解题
综合利用各种线索解题
01 跳读首尾句进行预测
一般来讲,高考完形填空的首、尾句通常是不挖空的。先跳读这两句,便可判断体裁,猜
想它要讲什么。若首句交代了when, where, who, what,即四个W,那么就是记叙文,很可
能就是一个故事;若首句是提出或解释说明某事物,一般来说是说明文;若首句提出一个论点,
那么就是议论文。
首句往往开宗明义,是文章的主题。细读首句可启示全文。而尾句又往往是对文章主题的
总结。所以,它们是了解文章大意的一个窗口,对我们理解全文有着重要的启示作用。
Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled how
she became a percussion soloist (打击乐器独奏演员) in spite of her disability.本文主要讲述的是苏格兰第一位女打击乐器独奏演员 Evelyn Glennie在耳聋的情况下成功
学习打击乐器的经历。根据首句给出的信息,下面我们可以猜想 Evelyn Glennie学习打击
乐器过程必然充满困难,而能够在耳聋的情况下学习打击乐器,Evelyn Glennie对音乐肯定
也是充满热情的。
02 利用语法分析解题
完形填空虽然以语境填空为主,但也有部分考查语法项目的题目。对于这类题,考生可以
利用平时所学的词汇知识,分析单词(组)的使用范围、动词的及物和不及物,并利用句子
结构、句式特点等知识全面衡量所有选项排除干扰。如:
___8___ I had been born in the 16th century, I would have had no job.
A. Because B. While C. If D. Since
【解析】根据后面的I had been born in the 16th century可知这只是个假设,是一个虚拟语气
的条件句。故前面要用 if 引导。
03 利用固定搭配解题
完形填空题中对词汇知识的考查,主要体现在习惯用法和同义词、近义词的辨析两方面。
习惯用法是英语中某种固定的结构形态,即所谓的“习语”,不能随意改动。所以,考生
平时应掌握好习惯用法。对词义辨析题的考查有加大力度的趋势。要做好这类题,需要有
较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力,特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力
如:
They couldn’t read or write. They didn’t like to work and they never ___12___ baths.
A. took B. washed C. ran D. covered
【解析】本题考查的是固定搭配take a bath,意为“洗澡”。
04 利用固定句型解题
完形填空虽然注重考查语境理解,但同时也会考到一些固定句型,考生掌握好这些句型,
对确定题目的答案很有帮助。如:
It wasn’t long ___18___the police caught the thief.
A. after B. when C. before D. until
【解析】It wasn’t long before…是常用句型,意为“不久就……”。这里说的是不久警察就
把小偷捉到了。05 利用复现信息解题
语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现
和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象,如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同
时出现,结构同现,同义同现,修饰同现,因果同现等。因此,利用上下文寻找解题信息
确定正确答案。如:
I put my head in, expecting the worst. But to my surprise, the room wasn’t empty at all. It had
furniture, curtains, a TV, and even paintings on the wall. And then on the well-made bed sat Amy,
my new ___44___, dressed neatly.
A. roommate B. classmate C. neighbor D. companion
【解析】名词同现,空格前出现了room, furniture, curtains, a TV等同现信息可知坐在铺好
的床上的是“我”的室友。
06 利用跳读法解题
一般而言,完形填空要填的20空中总有一些空是相对简单的。对于这类空格考生可以先将
其确定下来,之后再逐个去突破其他空。跳过那些不太容易得出答案的题。切忌做题时循
规蹈矩地一个顺着一个地去完成。如:
“Visitors!” repeated Josh, wide-awake at once. He___1___ up and looked around. A short distance
away, a group of___2___ stood quietly watching us. One of them ___3___ walking toward us. We
both jumped to our ___4___ not knowing what to expect.
1. A. sat B. stayed C. thought D. put
2. A. pilots B. natives C. editors D. assistants
3. A. avoided B. delayed C. began D. desired
4. A. boat B. car C. horses D. feet
【解析】在通读全文的第一遍中,我们可以很容易地将第四空填出来,这是固定搭配 jump
to one’s feet (跳起来);由此也可推出第三空的答案,因为有人开始向“我们”走了过来,所
以“我们”才跳了起来;再根据第一空前面的wide-awake可知,此处指的应该是“我和Josh
完全清醒,坐起来,环顾四周”,所以第一空的答案为A;最后,根据句首Visitors可推知
第二空的答案为B。
07 巧用排除法解题
在有些情况下,考生如果不能很有把握地直接得出某一道题的答案,可以把排除法和词汇语法分析结合起来运用,缩小选择的范围,提高正确率。如:
The woman looked carefully at me ___5___ through her glasses, and then questioned me in a low
voice.
A. as usual B. for a while C. in a minute D. once again
【解析】这篇文章讲述的是没有工作经验的作者找到工作的故事。此题的解题关键词是
carefully,既然是“认真地看”,就不会是in a minute (立刻、马上);既然互不相识,作者也
未曾去找过工作,不会是as usual(像往常一样);前面没说已经打量过作者一次了,所以用
once again(再一次)是不合理的。所以,答案只能是B.
08 利用逻辑关系解题
尝试从逻辑关系的高度整体上把握,就会不无惊喜地发现逻辑关系才是征服完形填空的最
佳途径。所谓逻辑关系并不缥缈,它就隐藏在句子中、句与句之间以及段落与段落的衔接
中。通过逻辑关系的方法,我们可以通过确切、具体的线索,把答案的逻辑意义推测出来
从而在答案中寻找表现了相同逻辑意义的选项。这样做,使得题目的难度大大降低。
(1) 句中逻辑关系
Vitamins are similar because they are made of the same elements—usually carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, and___45___nitrogen. They are different in that their elements are arranged differently,
and each vitamin performs one or more specific functions in the body.
A. mostly B. partly C. sometimes D. rarely
【解析】短文中的usually和and是本题逻辑推理的线索。And前后构成了并列关系,即
and前的 usually carbon, hydrogen, oxygen 这些维生素成分和and 后面的 nitrogen 成分形
成并列关系,相应修饰 carbon, hydrogen, oxygen 的usually必然和修饰 nitrogen 的45空的
词构成一一对应的逻辑关系。鉴于此,在45空考虑填入的应是和usually相对应的频度副
词,而语义与usually略有不同。mostly 和partly都表示了部分、量的含义,与频度无关。
rarely(很少地,罕有地)虽表示了频度关系,但其意义与usually相反,不符合一一对应的一
致性,因此排除。只有C项sometimes(不时,有时)恰到好处地表示了and前后两部分的逻
辑对应。故选C。
(2) 句间逻辑关系
在此,我们发现所谓逻辑关系并不抽象,它往往通过转折、让步、递进、因果等明确的逻
辑关系词来体现。当然,句子的逻辑关系也不一定体现在一句话的内部,它还可以渗透到
篇章的层面上,在句与句之间表现出来。如:
Ms Cleveland does not keep her workers on a short leash. ___13___, she encourages them to get
___14___ ways to do business.A. Still B. Yet C. Instead D. While
【解析】根据前后句子的意思可推出两句间的逻辑关系是转折,意思是“Old Mr Cleveland
把工人用带子捆绑起来(没有任何自由),而她不那样,相反(instead)她鼓励雇员”。
(3) 段间逻辑关系
这种逻辑关系主要体现在段落之间的衔接上。如:
Not everyone sees that process in perspective. It is important to do so.
It is generally recognized, ___29___, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th
century, followed by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the
process, although its impact in the media was not immediately apparent.
A. indeed B. hence C. however D. therefore
【解析】这里有两种情况,第一可能是第二段前后的逻辑体现;第二就是段落的前后衔接。
但是,这个题出现在第二段的第一句 ,那么,从完形填空注重逻辑关系的命题思路来看,
我们优先考虑第二种情况。前段末句意为“不是每个人都能够正确看待这个进程”。而第
二段首句为“大家普遍认为”,显然这两者之间存在了逻辑意义上的相反,此处可能体现
了一种转折关系。故选C。
09 巧用背景常识解题
解答完形填空题时,有时文章中提供的信息还不够,还需要把读者头脑中储存的一般知识
信息结合起来考虑,最后作出符合常识的最佳答案。因此,考生的知识范围越广,则对文
章的理解会更容易,整体上知道所选短文在说什么,那么局部上的每一个空填起来也会得
心应手。因此解答完形填空题时,考生的英语语言知识和有关世界的知识,都发挥着重要
的作用。
当对语言的把握不很准确时,可充分利用自己已掌握的文化背景和生活常识,巧妙地加以
运用,先找出并理解文章主题和主线,并根据主题猜测细节,注意从重复出现的词语中寻
找、体会文章表达的氛围。这样将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程,节省宝贵的时间,
顺利地沿作者的思路阅读下去。如:
After ___2___ the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves before they
started the 950-mile journey back.
A. growing B. putting C. planting D. laying
【解析】根据常识,南极地区冰雪覆盖,须费好大的劲将旗插进极地,plant在这里的意思
是“安插”“插牢”,故答案为plant。10 利用对比结构解题
对比结构常把两种对立的事物或同一事物的两个不同方面并列出来加以比较或对比。高考
完形填空题常常利用句子之间的对比关系或者同一个句子的不同部分之间的对比关系设计
题目。如:
A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and___59___room is in a much better position than a
pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on.
A. furnished B. expensive C. comfortable D. suitable
【解析】本题利用相似短语之间的对比关系来命题。设空部分与下文的 a small, noisy room
with the television on存在对比关系。作者想借此说明“相同的作业”对于“不同家庭背景
的学生”所表现出的事实上的不公平。答案为C。
11 利用平行结构解题
平行结构指的是结构相同或相似,意思密切关联,语法一致的句子或词组成串排列的语言
现象。这些结构的形式整齐匀称,内容联系紧密。
命题者常从平行结构的句式相同或相似这一角度,利用其表现意义的关联或对比这一特点
来设空。高考完形填空短文常常会出现这样一些平行结构,掌握这些结构极为相似的句子
可大大提高我们的解题效率。如:
Companies with low accident rates plan their safety programs, work hard to organize them, and
continue working to keep them ___42___ and active.
A. alive B. vivid C. mobile D. diverse
【解析】因空格处与and后面的active是平行的,所以答案为与active意思相近的alive。
12 利用暗示和对应解题
完形填空题中虽然也穿插了对语法、短语和单词的辨析、句子结构的考查等,但对文章故
事情节发展线索的逻辑考查仍是重点。暗示与上下对应的思维方法,是突破此类完形填空
最关键的思维方式。
考生在做题时要有全局观念,进行连贯性思维,做题时要把每个空白处的含义与前后句的
意思联系起来理解,进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。难选之处前后通常多有暗示,这种暗示多
为后面暗示前面。如:
...he would join student groups to discuss a variety of ___47___: agriculture, diving and
mathematics.A. questions B. subjects C. matters D. contents
【解析】此题后面的冒号部分有提示:agriculture,diving and mathematics是他们谈话讨论
的话题,由此可得出本题的答案为B。
13 根据文章的感情色彩解题
考生在第一遍通读时,应在掌握文章大意,弄清作者思路的基础上,着重寻找反映语境褒
贬性的标志性词汇或句子,这些标志性词汇或句子往往对文章的语境褒贬性起着决定性的
作用。如:
I was so surprised that I was ___47___(speechless). My cousin must have made an effort to get
himself into shape. ___48___(As a result), at the point in our game when I’d have predicted the
score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was ___49___(instead) 7 to 9 and Ed was 50 (leading).
【解析】surprised 一词道出了情况的转折,我们可以看到这时作者用词的转变。made an
effort,get into shape 等这些褒义词的使用对这些空的选择起到了很好的引导作用。
speechless, instead 都是由惊讶得出的。
14 综合利用各种线索解题
完形填空题主要考查短文阅读理解的能力。因此考生必须阅读全文,弄清句子与句子之间
的关系,准确理解全文。为了答好题,考生必须从字里行间寻找能够利用的线索。如书写
和形态变化线索(graphic and morphological clues)、词汇线索(lexical clues)、句法线索
(syntactical clues)、社会文化线索(socio-cultural clues),并根据有关的线索进行猜测,作出
合理的判断。如:
And the clerk confirmed that his plane was leaving at nine o’clock three days from that day…
Since he was ___44___ in three days, Andy didn’t lose any time.
A. moving B. returning C. staying D. leaving
易错考点归纳
易错点一 不懂熟词生义
对于一些看上去很熟悉的词,考生往往不知道或者不重视除了自己所记住的词义之外的其
他意思或者其他词性。在平时的复习中考生不重视熟词生义,导致他们在高考紧张的答题
时间内,脑海中出现的就只有自己最熟悉的意思,从而出现答题失误,导致丢分。近几年
高考英语全国卷完形填空中频繁出现熟词生义这个考点,一般以下列两种形式呈现:01 一词多义
And it came to me then how much easier it would be if we had a range of words that express
different 42 of gratitude(感谢).
A. grades B. meanings
C. needs D. expectations
【答案】A. grade(等级)grade: n. 年级(熟词熟义)→ n. 程度;等级(熟词生义)根据
句意可知,different grades of gratitude 意为“不同程度的感谢”。整个句子的意思是“当
时想,如果有一系列表达不同程度感谢的词,事情就容易多了”。
【易错选项解析】B。答案怎么可能会是 A ?grades 这个词再熟悉不过了,不是“年级”
的意思吗?这是大部分考生看到这个词时的第一反应,殊不知,就是这种“最熟悉的陌生
人”让考生与正确答案擦肩而过。考生不知道 grade 还可以表示“程度;等级”,因而在
排除了 C. needs(需求),D. expectations(期待)之后,勉强选了 B. meanings(意思)。
02 多词性词
多词性词是指同一个词,在不变换词形的情况下,有一种以上的词性。如果平时学生不留
意,没有掌握这种多词性词,那么在高考英语中它就会对学生答题造成干扰。
The patient looked puzzled, and then 56. replied :“Oh this isn’t for the 57. care I had. I
take that as a 58 . No, this is for setting my hair yesterday.”
A. goal B. given
C. push D. greeting
【答案】B. given(既定的事实,一定会发生的事情)given v. 给;赠送(give 的过去分词,
基本义 / 熟义)→ n.既定的事实(熟词生义)根据句意可知,这位患者给护士钱,不是因
为她得到了护士的照顾。她认为护士照顾她是“一定会发生的事情”此外,“take sth. as...
(把……认为)”这一短语以及代词that 的指代作用,增加了学生解答试题的难度,也影
响了这道题的正答率。
【易错选项解析】D。2021 年高考英语的这道题难倒了诸多考生。根据考生回忆,当时没
有选 B 的原因,主要是其不知道该词的意思。英语基础好一些的考生也只记得given 是
个形容词,但不知道其具体的意思。在这种情况下,考生排除了 A. goal(目标),C. push(推),因不确定B. given 的意思,尽管有一部分考生认为 D. greeting(问候)带到原文
中意思似乎也不对,但还是勉强选了 D。
易错点二 未能联系上下文
高考英语完形填空都有特定的主题语境,但是考生往往会忽视语境对语篇的统摄作用,导
致其做题时“只见树木,不见森林”。考生遇到不会的题,可以暂时放过,往往下文会有
语境上的提示,这也是教师在讲解完形填空时经常对学生说的“上下求索”,即联系上下
文,它主要有以下三种情况:
01 同词复现
同词复现指的是完形填空中的某个设空处的答案在上下文中已经出现过。学生通过“上下
求索”就能得出设空处的答案。
I wonder if 49. parents should always tell the truth no matter the 50. consequences. I have a
very strong 51 that the lie we’re telling is doing 52. spiritual damage to our children...
Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear.
A. demand B. fear
C. desire D. doubt
【答案】B. fear n.(害怕)。句意:“我非常害怕,现在撒的谎正在对孩子造成精神上的
伤害。”
【易错选项解析】D。有的考生看到51空前的strong 会选择 doubt,觉得应该是我深深怀
疑……,但是如果考生在这里多思考一下,接着看下文“Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear.”,
就会得出正确答案为 B. fear。
02 同义复现
同义复现是指完形填空中某个设空处的答案在上下文中有相同或者相似意义的表达的暗示
有时候这样的暗示是通过转折关系来体现的。学生通过揣摩上下文语义就能得出设空处的
答案。
A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one 50 as lost in the local paper. The ad had
a 51. phone phone number for a town in southern Michigan.
A. predicted B. advertised
C. believed D. recorded
【答案】B. advertised v.(做广告)。句意:“当地农民告诉他们这只狗像是当地报纸上刊
登的走丢的狗。”【易错选项解析】D。考生选错的原因在于其没有看到下文中的“The ad had a ...”,还有部
分考生看到 ad 一下子就懵了,没反应过来 ad 是 advertisement 的缩写,觉得这个消息应
该是在当地报纸上 record(记录)的,从而误选 D。
03 逻辑关系
准确把握上下文逻辑关系对提高考生完形填空试题的正答率大有裨益。逻辑关系有顺承、
转折、因果等。有时候考生要想分析出这样的逻辑关系,还需要通读全篇。
“We see the sky is 43. blue , but down in the valley it’s darker — it’s like on a 44 day.”
A. cloudy B. normal
C. different D. warm
【答案】A. cloudy adj.(阴天的)。句意:“我们能看到天空是蓝色的,但是在山谷里天
变暗了,像阴天一样。”
【易错选项解析】C。根据破折号前的内容可知,山谷里稍暗一些,破折号后的内容是对
前文的进一步解释。此外,对比句意的前后逻辑关系 blue—darker—(...),也可以看出应
选 cloudy,而不是 different,blue—darker—different(snowy? rainy?)这样的逻辑关系在
这里讲不通。
易错点三 没记准词义或固定搭配的含义
词义辨析或者固定搭配是完形填空的必考项,尤其是形近词辨析、动词短语或者介词短语
辨析。这类题型考查的是学生对词义或固定搭配的识记能力,但考生往往因为选项中的单
词或者短语比较相似而记不准词义,从而导致丢分。
... but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched 55 for Rosie in the next four
days.
A. on purpose B. on time
C. in turn D. in vain
【答案】D. in vain(徒劳)。句意:“枪声把狗吓跑了,Jeff 搜寻了 Rosie 四天,没有任
何结果。”
【易错选项解析】A、B、C。A. on purpose(故意),B. on time(按时),C. in turn(依
次;轮流),D. in vain(徒劳)。考生如果没记准这些常见的固定搭配,就会想当然地随
便选择选项。
易错点四 缺乏常识或文化背景知识
对于完形填空中的一些考查常识或文化背景的题,如果考生对相关的主题比较熟悉,有这
方面的常识或者文化背景,那么正答率就高。这就要求考生的阅读面要广,有一定的常识及文化背景知识的积累。
58. Finally you climb into an arctic-like zone with 59 snow and the glaciers that may soon
disappear.
A. permanent B. little
C. fresh D. artificial
【答案】A. permanent adj.(永久的)。根据句意,“最后你会爬到像北极一样的地区,那
里永久的积雪和冰川也许很快会消失。”
【易错选项解析】B。这篇完形填空的主题是人与自然,介绍了非洲最高的山——乞力马
扎罗山的环境污染情况,以及在当地机构努力治理之后,其环境的改观。如果学生对乞力
马扎罗山有所了解,就会知道它是世界上唯一的一座“赤道雪山”。目前乞力马扎罗山的
冰雪融化、冰川消失现象非常严重,在过去的80年内冰川已经萎缩了80%以上。有环境专
家指出,乞力马扎罗雪顶可能将在10年内彻底融化消失。选错的考生认为,既然积雪和冰
川马上就要消亡了,那积雪肯定特别少,所以就误选了B.little。在缺乏背景知识的情况下,
考生就会有各种奇葩的思路。
