Weeks passed and the 6 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break. I smiled in 7 as the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk.

“Oh no it isn’t” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me befo re she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
Tears filled my eyes 11I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 12 the little empty box set on my desk.

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读

点评2010年北京英语高考完形填空（附详细解析） 杨瑶 [标签：完形填空教师点评高考 2010年高考刚刚落幕，杨瑶老师第一时间对北京高考完形进行了详尽地解析，并与过去三年完形考题进行了纵向对比研究，得出如下结论。 一、考点解析 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空词性考点分布图 从词性角度分析，完形填空的重点是实词，其中名词和动词所占比例又相对较高。虚词考察虽少，但大多较为灵活，比如通过与动词的搭配来考察考生对介词词义的理解程度，比如通过连词考察考生对句子衔接的把握。根据分布可以看出，2010年高考命题在词性考察的平衡性上有所调整，争取覆盖所有词性，以体现考生的综合素质。因此词汇量的扩充是攻克完形填空的第一关。 二、命题特点 2010年的完形的选材沿用了往年的风格，为叙述为主，夹叙夹议，涉及细致心理活动描写，往往是一个从消极到积极的转变过程。 附：07年第一人称叙述，08年第一人称叙述，09年第三人称叙述，10年第一人称叙述。 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空综合考察点分布图 1、
为突出完形填空这一题型的“选拔功能”需要，语篇层面的题目逐年递增，2010年的考察尤其突出这点。对于四个选项，如果孤立地看对应挖空的句子，或许都能满足句子的要求，即使个别小题中四个备选答案的词类有不相同者，其语法功能也往往是一样的。考生只有结合上下文语境才能选择出正确答案。 此外，每年的完形填空都会有一两道考察知识迁徙能力的题目，要么选项是考生不熟悉的单词，要么是考生没见过的搭配。比如07年的break the news，是由课本中的“breaki ng news”迁徙而来；比如10年的lively，是由课本中的“live shows”引申出来。另外，由于完形填空综合性较强，因此词组层面和句子层面的试题比例大致应该会固定在50%左右，不可掉以轻心。 从答案分布上看，仍然体现均等原则，今年的完形答案中ABCD选项各五个，这个技巧尤其适用于高分段考试在复查时提高正确率。 三、趋势预测 1、难度提高，干扰项迷惑性加大 2、语篇理解题目增多，逻辑要求提高。 3、单纯考察语法和单词的题目减少,知识拓展迁徙能力考察提高 2010年高考英语完形填空详细解析 I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voi ce and a direct way of speaking. 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me. Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because knew 39 about sta ge design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40. It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up t o paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself. Mrs. Neidl’s 43 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 44!” I bega n to take 45. I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing—onl
高考英语完形填空考试解 题三大角度 完形填空题型有着极为深远的理论背景。在19世纪物理学重大发现“场理论”的启发下，德国心理学家柯勒等人提出了“格式塔心理学”，强调人类认知过程中的宏观性和整体性。1953年，美国语言学家Wilson Taylor基于上述理论，首次提出完形填空这种题型，旨在测试考生利用已知信息恢复不完整语言材料的自然倾向强度，进而考查考生的语言能力。 作为选拔性考试，高考必须具有较高信度、效度和必要的区分度以及一定的难度。完形填空的重点在于综合考查考生的词汇和语法等基础知识以及阅读和写作等语言运用能力，正好满足了高考的需求。自从1987年首次出现在高考英语试卷中以来，完形填空题型历来都属于高考英语中能力要求最高、试题难度最大的一类题型。
研究历年的各套高考完形填空题，可以从具体的题目之中看出该题型中若干对我们解题非常有帮助的共同特点： 一、从所选文章的角度 体裁上，以叙为主，叙议结合。高考完形填空题的选材多为具有一定故事情节的记叙文或是叙议结合、以叙为主、富有哲理的论说文，这是和高考考生的语言水平紧密结合的。高考是各级各类英语测试中相对较简单的一种，因而采取了常见体裁中较简单的记叙文作为题目载体。因此，短文一般按照时间线索行文，内部逻辑清晰层次分明。 题材上，选用真实世界中的语言材料，考查考生使用语言进行信息获取和社会交际的能力，对心理问题、校园生活、奇闻轶事等热点话题继续关注，并兼顾高考的公平性原则，不涉及特定地域或人群色彩较浓的不具有一般性的话题。
难度上，基本与现行高三教材相当。字数上，完形填空短文词数在240——320之间。 二、从所挖空格的角度 首先，该题型所选短文一般无标题，但首句通常不设空，目的是让考生熟悉语言环境，迅速进入主题，对文章有宏观和整体性的把握，建立正确的思维导向。正文中通常挖去20个词，平均每14词挖一个空格，通常不会出现两个空格前后相连或同一句子挖空超过三个的情况。 其次，挖去的词汇以实词为主，虚词为辅。语言分为形式和内容两方面，而完形填空题多重视考查语言的内容，这是与承载具体信息的实词紧密相关的。在高考对具体语法规则不断淡化的趋势下，常与语言形式即具体语法条目相关的虚词数量不断下降，目前仅在3个空格左右。
2017年上海高考英语真题
2016年 In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively（本能地）51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work. In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision(监督，管理) if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be （impose sth on sb把…强加给某人）impose d from 54 without consultation（咨询）. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers. Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective（集体的，共同的）opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot. A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative （首创精神，主动权）,to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering（减少员工层）in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation

Then I remembered there were only two of us in the room. When I turned 12 , the other woman was looking straight at me. I had no idea how to answer it. Was she 13 ? Who has a perfect life? Sure, occasionally I did find the perfect dress or the perfect pair of shoes, 14 never would I use that word to describe anything about me or my life. I felt a twinge of guilt for somehow giving her that 15 . She watched me. I finally 16 to whisper a quick “No”. By then, the teacher had entered the room and turned on the music to start class. With a sigh of 17 , I moved my feet into the best position. But as soon as my knees bent for our first pose, I realized my 18 had been disturbed. This woman’s words wouldn’t 19 echoing in my thoughts. I wanted to know how she came up with her very mistaken 20 . If she knew anything about my life, she never would have had the 21 to ask me that question. I did my best to do our floor exercises in front of the mirror. For a few moments, I didn’t see the usual 22 of my older self attempting to use a beautiful art form to 23 my gracefulness. I only saw the little girl whose father died when she was two, the child who walked home from elementary school every day to an empty house, who learned to sew her own clothes to 24 money. Perfect.
