题型目录一览
根据首句
根据说明顺序
一、知识点梳理
说明文往往围绕一个问题从不同的侧面来加以说明，通常结构严谨，句子结构复杂，因
此也是高考完形填空题中较难理解的一种文体。
解题技巧
1. 快速弄清文章大意
对于此类文章我们结合选择项，进行粗读或略读，对文章的大意要先有一个大体的了解。
说明文往往生词较多，而题材又比较广泛，所以阅读时，首先要能够掌握文章的大意。
2. 弄清楚说明的顺序
把握了说明顺序，就能准确把握文章的脉络，加强对整篇文章的理解。
3. 把握文章的组织结构，理清事实细节
把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明性的文章一般都是一篇完整的、意思表
达清楚的、逻辑比较严密的短文。在阅读这类文章时，我们一定要仔细研读文章的开头
和结尾，从主题句着手，找出支持句，然后寻找文章的结论。这时，我们还要特别注意，
不要被表面的一些细节所迷惑，我们在理解细节的基础上，还要斟酌文字的内涵意义，
从而对文章进行深层次的理解。
4. 注重上下文语境
应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境作深入的理解，克服＂思维定势＂，根
据全文大意和词不离句、句不离文的原则逐项填空。
5. 熟练做题方法，遵循四个原则：
（1）上下一致。每个选择项必须从全文出发，从大处着手，避免孤立地分析每一空格，
造成误选。
（2）语法正确。从语法地角度去考虑动词的时态、语态以及词类用法。
（3）逻辑合理。在完形填空题中，逻辑推理非常重要，有时每个选择项从语法上讲都正
确，但是有的是不合语境逻辑的。
（4）符合搭配。英语中固定搭配很多，需要熟练掌握，才能做好此类题目。

was the storyteller. The idea of Superman 5 upon him in the middle of a sleepless
summer night. When the Superman’s origin story started 6 , he dashed over to Joe’s
place and showed it to him. Then they just sat down, and worked straight out.
As is often the case, when we experience something 7 in life, we deal with the

（2023·湖北武汉·湖北省武昌实验中学校考模拟预测）More than anything, this is a book
about unconditional love—a bond between a caring woman and a loyal dog.
Harley’s Harlequin Heart written by Christy Jaeger and 16 through the narration (叙
述) of Harley, shows why the power of love can overcome the 17 that is part of every
life journey.
Harley takes us along on all his 18 with his owner Jaeger — from growing up, being
trained, to going to dog shows. Then one day, Harley is diagnosed with bone cancer. Fortunately,

（2023·山东淄博·统考三模）ChatGPT has been everywhere for the last few months. It
raises 31 about their impact on everything happening in our society.
ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool 32 by AI technology that allows you
to have human-like 33 and much more. The language model can answer questions and
34 you with tasks, such as composing emails, essays, and code.
The 35 to produce frequently accurate responses to a vast range of questions is why it
became the fastest-growing app of all time, 36 100 million users in only two months. The
fact that it can also 37 essays, articles, and poetry has only 38 its appeal. It is also
equally 39 at coding and productivity tasks. For the former, its ability to 40
code from natural speech makes it a powerful partner for both new and 41 coders.
Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has 42 . Such restrictions include
the inability to answer questions that are worded in a 43 way, as it requires rewording to
understand the input question. A bigger limitation is a lack of quality in the 44 it
delivers. Another major limitation is that its data is limited up to 2021. The chat robot does not
have any 45 of events or news that have occurred since then. Lastly, ChatGPT does not
provide sources for its responses.

（2023·上海·南洋中学校考三模）Most forms of conventional advertising — print, radio
and broadcast television — have been losing ground to online ads for years; only billboards,
dating back to the 1800s, and TV ads are holding their own. Such out-of-home advertising, as it is
known, is anticipated to 46 by 3.4% in 2024, and digital out-of-home (DOOH)
advertising, which includes the LCD screens found in airports and shopping malls, by 16%. Such
ads draw viewers’ attention from phones and cannot be skipped or 47 , unlike ads
online.
Billboard owners are also 48 the location data that are pouring off people’s
smartphones. Information about their owners’ locations and online browsing gets collected and
sold to media owners. They then use these data to work out when different groups — “business
travellers”, say — walk by their ads. That 49 is added to insights into traffic, weather
and other external data to produce highly relevant ads. DOOH 50 can deliver ads for
coffee when it is cold and iced drinks when it is warm.
Such 51 works particularly well when it is combined with “programmatic”
advertising methods, a term that describes the use of data to automate and improve ads. In the past
year billboard owners such as Clear Channel and jcDecaux have 52 programmatic
platforms which allow brands and media buyers to select, purchase and place ads in minutes,
rather than days or weeks. It is said that outdoor ads will increasingly be bought like online ones,
based on audience and views as well as 53 .
That is possible because billboard owners claim to be able to 54 how well their
ads are working, even though no “click-through” rates are involved. Data firms can tell advertisers
how many people walk past individual advertisements at particular times of the day. Advertisers
can estimate how many individuals 55 to an ad for a handbag then go on to visit a
nearby shop (or website) and buy the product. Such metrics make outdoor ads more 56
, automated and measurable, argues Michael Provenzano, co-founder of Vistar Media, an ad-tech
firm in New York.
However, the outdoor-ad revolution is not free of 57 . The collection of mobile-
phone data raises privacy concerns. And 58 of the online-ad business for being
vague, and occasionally dishonest, may also be targeted at the DOOH business as it becomes
bigger and more complex. The industry is ready to 59 such concerns, says Jean-
Christophe Conti, chief executive of VIOOH, a media-buying platform. One of the 60of following the online-ad pioneers, he notes, is learning from their mistakes.

（2023·浙江绍兴·统考模拟预测）Wearing a caveman mask (面具), Dr. Marzluff walks
across the camp at the university. Crows (乌鸦) circle and scream. They dive at him and then
suddenly fly away.
Beneath the mask，he smiles. Days before, he and his students had 61 cavemen
masks caught crows and 62 plastic bands on to their legs. Then they released the 63
birds.
“We always knew crows 64 us, but could we show it?” says Dr. Marzluff, a
professor known affectionately as the Crowman.
When the researchers walked around campus without masks, the crows they had caught and
banded didn’t 65 to them. But when the 66 humans walked by while
wearing the masks, the crows scolded (责骂) loudly and dived at their “ 67 ”. The birds
had remembered their 68 !
“Crows are constantly 69 us,” Dr. Marzluff says. “They look, they think, they
eyeball you, 70 the situation.”
At first, only the banded birds reacted 71 to the people in masks. But in later
tests, an increasing number of crows began scolding them, even when the banded birds were not
around. The birds had 72 from one another. Dr. Marzluff and his team followed
banded crows for a year and 73 that adults even pass this information to their 74

（2023秋·广东揭阳·高三统考期末）Do you sometimes ignore your mom while chatting
with friends? If you’re a teen, that’s fairly 76 . And new research may explain why so
many 77 tune out their mom’s voices.
Young kids’ brains are very tuned in to their mothers’ voices. But as they grow up, everything
78 . Teenagers’ brains are more tuned in to strangers’ voices. Researchers scanned the brains of
7- to 16-year-olds as they listened to things said by their mothers or by unfamiliar women. The
words were purely 79 : teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. As the kids
listened, certain parts of their brains became 80 . This was especially true in brain regions
that help us to 81 rewards and pay attention.
This 82 usually happens between ages 13 and 14. The brain seems to 83 new
needs that come with youth. As we 84 , our survival depends less and less on mom’s
support. 85 , we rely more and more on our 86 -friends and others closer to
our own age.
However, these areas in the youthful brain don’t stop 87 mom. It’s just that
unfamiliar voices become more 88 and worthy of attention. Mothers’ voices still have
special power, especially in times of stress. Studies also showed that levels of stress hormones (荷
尔蒙) 89 when stressed-out girls heard their moms’ voices on the phone.
So while both teens and their parents sometimes feel frustrated by missed messages, that’s
okay. “That’s the way the brain is 90 , and there’s a good reason for it.”

（2023·安徽·校联考模拟预测）As the Chinese saying goes, a seed can change the world; a
variety can benefit a nation.
Zhang Daorong, who has spent the last 26 years 91 13 new varieties of wheat and
contributing to national food security, has done both. The 50-year-old, who is called the “mother
of wheat”, is a 92 at the Xiangyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Xiangyang
city.
The research into new varieties requires strict standards and 93 experiments. “The
first 94 is to find suitable parental types for a specific cultivation purpose. Then we try a
hybrid combination,” Zhang explained. “After several generations of 95 and selection,
and when characteristics remain stable, we 96 a two-year process of yield testing and
disease identification.” And after several more rounds of tests, a(n) 97 for evaluation
and approval can be made for market production.
“Generally speaking, a good new 98 should produce high yields, have stable
production, and 99 good resistance to bad conditions,” she added. “ 100 ,
it also should be accepted by the market.”
Zhang added that the team 101 70,000 to 80,000 seedlings (幼苗) each year. All
year round they were busy with 102 experiments on the growth of the new seedlings
and making records and analyses.
“Agricultural research work is 103 and complicated. Sometimes your efforts do
not 104 . All we can do then is think more, discuss more and find 105

（2023·上海静安·统考二模）In a letter he wrote in 1884, Mark Twain complained that
“Telephones, telegraphs and words are too slow for this age; we must get something that is faster.”
“We should communicate by thought only, and say in a couple of minutes what should have
ballooned into 121 in an hour and a half,” said him.
Despite the progress the previous century brought for our understanding of both language and
the brain, we are no closer to telepathy(心灵感应), communication from one mind to another by
122 means, than we were in Twain’s time. The reason is that the telepathy we’ve been
promised, the sort imagined by Twain, and 123 in countless movies and TV shows, is,
for the time being, groundless.
“Good old-fashioned telepathy” (GOFT) involves a direct transfer of 124 from one
mind to another. It has fascinated people for good reasons. It removes the 125 of
language. With GOFT, we no longer need to put each concept into words or to 126
someone’s language. You know instantly what one means as the former channel of
communication, language, is not at all necessary. The 127 of language is the central
feature of GOFT. It is what enables science-fiction writers to imagine humans and aliens from
other planets communicating telepathically despite not sharing a language. But can it really come
true with current science and technology?
Besides, GOFT promises genuine communication. However, 128 is universal. We
all have experiences of saying one thing, only to be understood as saying something else. Because
language is so flexible, it is also easy to lie or 129 oneself. We aren’t even certain if
Bob’s expression could be in line with what he believes in a year’s time.
These weaknesses have driven people to look for alternatives and finally inspired inventions
of artificial languages trying to remove misunderstanding. Of course, one day when technology
allows, a direct thought-to-thought transfer seems the 130 solution.
Many of us have the confidence that we can think faster than we can speak or write. Having
to rely 131 on language to communicate, however, is depressing. Therefore, the 132
of adding new direct brain-to-brain communication channels is exciting. By channels of this kind,our brains can be “ 133 ” and allowed to be committed to other 134 practices
instead of conveying messages. New brain-to-brain channels have the potential to increase 135
, turning us into super-actors, handling so many tasks in a short period of time as we cannot yet
imagine.

（2023·上海长宁·统考二模）After five long years, it appears California’s drought is finally
becoming less severe. 136 a recent string of storms, more than a third of the state has now
welcomed healthy precipitation (降水量), and California’s snowpack—a(n) 137 source
of water as the year progresses—has reached nearly twice its seasonal average in some parts of the
Sierra Nevada. That’s a dramatic improvement over last summer, when literally every inch of the
state 138 drought conditions. It’s also welcome news for Californians, who have faced a
series of water 139 since Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in early
2014. Farmers have been forced to spend heavily to maintain production.
The state’s water struggles, 140 , are far from over. For one, nobody knows for sure
how long these rains will last. Although recent precipitation has been 141 —in some places
more than 80 inches—the accuracy of storm forecasting remains 142 beyond a week.
Californians know this all too well: last year, experts projected a “Godzilla” El Niño that would
bring record levels of precipitation. It never 143 . “Will six weeks from now be wet?” asks
Jeanine Jones, California’s interstate water-resources manager. “The skill in that kind of
forecasting is just not there.”
144 , a storm slowdown is a very real possibility—and it could leave California
without enough water to make it through the dry summer. 145 , when that happens, the
state has turned to groundwater stored in natural rock formations deep beneath the earth’s surface.But those 146 remain used up after years of drought; restoring them could take years in
some places, says Jones.
The quick inrush of water has also created a(n) 147 balancing act for water
managers. Keeping surface reservoirs (水库) filled to the edge protects against the possibility of
a sudden dry spell, but it also
148 the risk of flooding if and when future storms hit. To that end, water managers
opened the Sacramento Weir floodgates earlier this month to pour reservoir water into nearby
fields after 149 showed local water levels would likely continue to rise. That’s a
calculation that will be made across the state in the coming months.
