《考点•题型 •技巧》
考向分析
说明文类完形填空题常就某一个问题从不同的角度来加以说明,文章可以是用来说明某一
种社会现象、一个产品的制作过程、一种产品的使用方法、某个科学成就或人类生活中所
面临的某个具体的难题。说明文所呈现的方式较为单一,作者往往一开始就交代说明的对
象,然后再从不同的角度进行说明。因此,这类文章的每一段通常就是其中的一个角度或
侧面,所以要注意概括每一个段落的主旨大意,尤其是文章每一段的开头或结尾,作者往
往会对说明的话题进行概括说明。说明文类的完形填空的特征如下:
1.文章多用现在时态
说明文通常是对客观事物或实例的介绍与说明,与时间的变化关系不大,所以文章常用现
在时态。
2.语言简练、平实、准确,常采用客观描述
说明文的目的主要是帮助读者认清事物,明白事理,所以语言简练、平实、易于理解,内
容客观真实,很少含有带感情的词汇。
3.文章主题明确,层次分明
说明文类完形填空往往在文章开头就点明说明对象,从而为学生们把握文章主题提供了有
利条件。而且,作者借助合理的说明顺序展开文章,使文章结构清晰,层次分明。
1.利用说明文首句,明确说明对象
2.关注内在联系,把握说明顺序
常见的说明顺序有时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序(如因果关系、果因关系、先主后
次等)和认识顺序(如由此及彼、由浅入深、由局部到整体、由现象到本质、由具体到抽
象等)。
3.逐句精读短文,逐题分析选项

glass bottle, 2 its cork (瓶塞) and put two peanuts inside it. The peanuts dropped to the
bottom and were easily seen from the outside. He then passed the bottle to a monkey, who shook it

that it only needed to turn the bottle upside down for the peanuts to drop out. 6 the
monkey always ignored his 7 . Each time it just shook the bottle frantically, with great 8

5、As our Earth’s temperature warms up because of climate change, it is having unexpected
effects on our world’s forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their skins to 1 the loss
of water, and this, in turn, slows down the 2 of photosynthesis(光合作用). As a result,
these trees are shorter and grow slowly, as well as have a 3 death rate.
Climate change also increases the 4 of droughts and wildfires. After wildfires, it takes
a while for the forest systems to 5 , and in some cases, the forests are 6
permanently. Trees that are stressed are also 7 to attacks by bacteria(细菌). In tropical
forests, vines that use the trees as 8 can often choke the trees and rob them of nutrients.
Finally, humans have 9 the forest landscape through logging. When trees are replanted on
the soil, they will never grow as large as the 10 trees that were cut down.
As these forests disappear, species that once called them “home” are forced to change, 11
the variety of those systems. 12 , some endangered species are unable to 13 and
die. Old-growth forests are disappearing in all regions of our world. When forests die, younger
forests that are reestablished in the same area grow back weaker and smaller 14 poor
vegetation. With trees dying increasingly and continuously, will future generations 15 out

6、My family went on holiday for a week this summer. I was surprised to learn the sleeping
71 for the night — my young daughter had agreed to sleep in a first-floor bedroom by herself.
As we 72 , we discussed the deer we had 73 on our way. “I hope we could see
a bear or two this 74 !” my wife shouted. At bedtime, my wife and I went to the upstairs
room, and my parents-in-law (岳父母) headed for a 75 on the first floor. My wife and I
were about to sleep when our daughter appeared with a/an 76 look on her face. She said a
77 was scratching (刮出刺耳声) at her window. I decided it would be best if I slept downstairs

Rica, helps to 2 the impact of the decline of macaw populations by taking birds that were
born 3 and releasing them into the wild. But this process is very 4
"In a cage,you can't 5 them to know where,when and how to find that food, or about

One day during his daily route in Stone Mountain, Finley decided to do something to help
90 the spirits of the Jones sisters, Eva, 7, and Aria, 6. “These girls haven’t been able to go to
school or see their 91 all year,” Finley told CNN. “I thought, ‘What can I do to bring a
smile to their faces? Something different, something to bring some excitement for the day. ”
After checking with the girls’ parents, Finley 92 some cards out of his pocket and
started the first of many games of Tic-tac-toe(井字棋).
It was an instant 93 .

their strategic moves, leave the cards in the mailbox, and wait for “Mr. Adam” to make his 95

able to 98 the joys of in-person school this year. “When it’s 7:30 in the morning and those
girls are all excited waving at the door, that’s my 99 ,” he said.
“It was what they 100 every morning, seeing what move he would make,” the girls’
mother, Erin Jones, told CNN. Jones said that although 2020 has been tough she is grateful for the
101 it taught her and her family about 102 the small moments in life.
“Insignificant moments of ‘normal’ are now extremely important,” Jones said. “The USPS
(美国邮局) may have had a hard year, but there’s no doubt in the Jones house that the Christmas
spirit is 103 and well because of one of their best 104 ,” she added. “Thank you,
