上上上2020届上上上上上上上上上四上—— 十一选十（小猫钓鱼）一、题型特征及考点十一选十只考察四类实词，即：名词、动词、形容词、副词。
做题看所给词汇时，我们要么在内心谨记题目中所给的十一个词中每个词的多种词性和意思，只可惜有时候你可能会很难做到这一点，所以还是老老实实花个一两分钟左右仔细看清每一个单词，记住都有谁，并在每个单词旁边按注其含有的词性及诸如现在分词、过去分词、动名词以及各种分词式的形容词这类非词性方面的语法层次的特征(只出现在分词中)。
这样接下来在面对某一个空格时，只要根据上下文的语法结构或逻辑关系不再是从10个词中去选1个答案了，可以是4选1甚至2选1，从而缩小了选择的范围，提高做题的准确率。
1、选词填空的特点1) 文章长度一般350字左右；2) 第一句是主题句，一般均不设空（各种题型第一句话几乎均不设空）；3) 每隔15－30个词有一个空，共10空；4) 方框中词汇兼顾一词多性、一词多义、派生【即前缀、后缀】、合成词、引申义等方面综合考察；5) 文章略低于完形填空、阅读理解C篇的难度。
2、选词填空的考点1)词汇方面：考察4类实词，即：名词、动词、形容词、副词；2) 语法方面：考察词性之间关系和句子结构分析的能力；3) 逻辑方面：考察上下文逻辑分析及语篇分析的能力。
3、需要注意的五个要点：(1) 词性判断(2) 常用搭配(3) 内在逻辑(4) 感情色彩(5) 语法常识二、解题步骤第一步：通读全文通读全文是用较快速度，一行一行地读，目的是把握至少90% 的内容。
选词填空的选项词义互不关联，词性也不同，而且还有干扰项，一定要先了解文章大意，带着文章脉络去找选项。
务必先沉着地把文章读一遍，尤其注意横线前后的位置，为寻找正确选项打下铺垫。
提醒：通读就是根据首段原则以及首末句原则，迅速抓出文章的主题。
判定文章主题对于篇章的整体把握具有很大的积极意义。
第二步：整理选项classify the options我们应该根据词性把选项中的每个单词进行分类归纳标，标出它们的词性。

高考英语10选9阅读讲解及巩固提升含答案Passage 1At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that 1 appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray. Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He 2 a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps.3 he walked down towards the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.4 the time where he reached the small boat, a thick white mist(雾气)had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore.The outer fringe(边缘)of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward 5 . All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the 6 air met the surface of the lake.Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly. It soon rested inches above the still 7 of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they 8 out of the water forlow-flying insects.The 9 time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy.Passage 2Although interior (内部的) design has existed since the beginning of architecture, its development into a specialized field is reallyquite 1 Interior designers have become important 2 because of the many functions that might be contained in a single large building.The importance of interior design becomes evident when we realize how much time we spend 3 by four walls. Whenever we need to be indoors,we want our surroundings to be as attractive and comfortable as possible. We also expect each place to be 4 to its use. You would be shocked if the inside of your bedroom were suddenly changed to look like the inside of a restaurant. And you wouldn't feel 5 in a business office that has the appearance of a school.It soon becomes clear that the interior designer's most important basic 6 is the function of the particular space. For example, a theater with poor sight lines, poor sound shaping qualities, and too few entries and exits will not 7 for its purpose, no matter how beautiful it might be decorated. He or she must coordinate (协调)the shapes, lighting and decoration of everything from ceiling to floor. In addition, the designer must usually select furniture or 8 built in furniture, according to the functions that need to be 9 .Keys: 7. FBGHC JEDA8. BDFHJ IGECPassage3We might be surprised at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person's knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It is really extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to devise something more 1 than examinations. For all the 2 that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact 3 . They may be a good means of testing memory, or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers, examinations are 4 to none. That is because so much depend on them. They are the 5 of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn't matter that you weren't feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that don't 6 : the exam goes on. No one can bring out the 7 in him when he is in terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. The moment a child begins school, he enters a world of fierce competition where success and failure are clearly 8 and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of "drop-outs": young people who are written of as 9 before they have started a career? Can we be surprised at the suicide ( 自从) rate among students?Passage 4In recent years, more and more foreigners are involved in the teaching programs of the United States. Both the advantages and the disadvantages of using faculty (教师总称) from foreign countries in teaching positions have to be 1 , of course. It can be said thatforeign 2 that makes the faculty member from abroad an asset ( 财富) also creates problems of adjustment, both for the university and for the individual.The foreign research scholar usually 3 himself in the laboratory as a means of protection; however, what he needs is to be 4 into a highly organized university system quite different from that at home. He is faced in his daily work with 5 in philosophy, arrangements of courses and methods of teaching. Both the visiting professor and his students lack background in each other's 6 Some 7 of what is already in the minds of American students is required by the foreign professor. While helping him to adapt himself to his new environment, the university must also make certain adjustments in order to take full advantage of what the newcomer can offer. It isn't always known how to make 8 use of foreign faculty, especially at smaller colleges. This is thought to be a field wherefurther study is 9 . The findings of such a study will be of value to colleges and universities with foreign faculty.Keys: 7. JACBI D E H G8. FHBDG I A E JPassage5The idea of fighting a noise by making more noise sounds strange, but that's 1 what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.Carmakers' research and development laboratories have already 2 that mixing in more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reducethe 3 noise.Physicists have known about the 4 for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率)mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time with the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying It by half a wavecycle(周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing 5 both inside and outside the cars.Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need 6 a silencer, which not only 7 the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less oil and work better.Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be 8 in most cars in 1996. But the carmakers haven't decided if they will putit 9 production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.Passage 6Personality is, to large extent, inherent—A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound 1 , since if competition is important to the parents; it is 2 to become a major factor to the lives of their children. One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very 3 , a highly competitive institution. Too many schools 4 the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements.The current passion for making children 5 against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A-types seem inSome way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: "Rejoice, we conquer!".By far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate 6 those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are 7 questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change 8 B's. The world needs both types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his 9 future employment. It is top management.Keys: Passage 7. AEDIJ HGBCPassage 8. JIEDC BGHA。

Television is one of the mostinfluential kinds of entertainment. Studies show that elementary school children in the United States watch 2 about twenty-five hours a week. Some people feel that television has had a good influence 3 children because it offers educational programs for them. One of the best and most 4 programs is Sesame Street（芝麻街). One study claims that Sesame Street 5 children do better in school. Many people hope that programs like this will provide a better education for children from poor communities and schools.Other people feel that television is bad for children. They feel that there are too many programs about crime and violence, and that even educational programs don't help a child's education. Children 6 watch too much television, and therefore they don't do a lot of other things that are important to them. Preschool children need to speak their language and 7 with people. When they are watching television they are only listening to the language, they aren't communicating with anyone. When elementary school children watch television, they read a lot less. Because of this, they don't learn to read and write as quickly at school. All children learn by doing, and they need time to play in order to learn 8 the world. When they watch television, they play 9 . They also have less time to develop relationship with their parents and friends, and they have less time to exercise and develop their bodies.Passage 2My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers occupied his hometown, the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually 1 the Soviet army to fight for his country's 2 . "Stand straight, stand tall," he told himself.After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhattan. He was hungry and suffering from seasickness. All alone in a new country, hewas 3 about his future. Still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York. Soon he met other European 4 , each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather 5 a jewelry booth on Canal Street, New York City. He once told me how 6 he was on that first day of work. He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language.To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths—who could have taken advantage 7 him—offered their help and advice. Within months, mygrandfather was commanding his spot 8 the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he'd been doing it his whole life.Stand straight and stand tall.In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings. 9 he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together. He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name.I am so proud to be one of those children. Listening to my grandfather's remarkable experiences has changed the way I view my own life. Passage 3The decision to enter F1 and compete at the highest level of motor sport was an intended move by Toyota, the world's third 1 auto manufacturer, to further challenge its own capabilities. By going head-to-head with the industry's top performers on the world's premier racing stage, the Japanese giant was 2 itself a huge task. A sport with an enormous international following, the 3 of entering the F1 arena are high—but there are rich rewards for those who succeed. Besides being a showcase for state-of-the-art technology, the intense competition in this mostdemanding of racing disciplines leaves no room for self-satisfaction. More importantly, it fosters(培养)the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that Toyota is seeking.While F1 benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its 4 , the demands placed on Panasonic Toyota Racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough experience as a team. Mistakes were made and 5 lessons were learned, among which was the fundamental truth: "To stand still in F1 is to go backwards."With the past in mind, preparations for the 2003 seasonincluded 6 changes on both the 7 and personnel(人事的)sides. The management at Toyota Motorsport GmbH was restructured, 8 John Howett moving from Toyota Motor Marketing Europe to become President, thus enabling the company founder, Ove Andersson, more time to concentrate 9 the operation of the race team at the track. Andersson's value as an inspirational leader was one of the team's biggest assets (财富）in 2002.Passage 4Columbus, Ohio—The heart operation—taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was 1 . The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes(消毒帷帘)and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching 2 . Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man's chest. At the ends of the robot's arms were tiny metal fingers, with 3 wrists, which held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera. The robot's arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K. Wolf, 4 at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in 5 profession since heart bypass surgery（心脏搭桥手术）began nearly 30 years ago. "The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands," said Dr. Wolf, the 6 of the surgery at Ohio State. The robot's dainty fingers, no longer than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots 7 arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients' chests. Instead of directly staring into a patient's body, surgeons will view 8 images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, thedoctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the 9 .Passage5Twenty years are just a blink in time. But twenty years is also long enough for a man to grow up. It is always painful. For Andre Agassi, maturing in the spotlight of international tennis 1 was even harder.On September 3, the American tennis player said a 2 goodbye to his21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior."The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what I've 3 ," Agassi said to the fans. "I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed." It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career.Agassi hated tennis as a 4 as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel(叛逆). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore 5 clothes and spat at an umpire. Over the years, he has made bad jokes 6 news conferences.Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, "I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you."The turning point in Agassi' s career 7 in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大满贯赛事) at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: winning is a test of nerves and not just power, it's a marathon, not a sprint.And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he was ranked No.1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped 8 No. 141. He didn't quit though. "I knew that I 9 try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my commitment, "he said. "That never stopped."Passage 6But I wonder about my Momma 1 , and all the other negro mothers who got up at 6 a. m. to go to the white man's house 2 sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it. They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they 3 his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn't have too much time for us.I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman's clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the pipes were 4 and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She'd have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so they wouldn't bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）? Oh, they were just like part of the family!I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finish bathroom. She could 5 tell her own kids because there wasn't soap or water back home.I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have. Momma would cry all night, and then go out and spend most of the 6 money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars' rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to 7 that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow I'd be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks 8 her shoes and wentoff to the rich white man's house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take 9 to a special baby doctor.Keys:1.
