B only to do sth. “結(jié)果卻，不料” ，作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)，表示該

11、結(jié)果在主語(yǔ)的預(yù)料之外；現(xiàn)在分 詞作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)，表示由主句所產(chǎn)生的邏輯上的結(jié)果。 realize 在腦海里經(jīng)過思維“認(rèn)識(shí)到， 了解”； find 在表面上就能“發(fā)現(xiàn)， 看出”。2. A 這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是英語(yǔ)成語(yǔ)，根據(jù)本段第一句 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America 判斷，選擇 A 項(xiàng)。3. D 從意義上判斷， “他想起了他曾對(duì)他兒子許下的諾言” ；memorized 是“背誦，熟記” 。4. A 從結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，該句是省略了謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的省略句，省略謂語(yǔ)之后，意義仍然清楚，如 不省略動(dòng)詞，則使用第三人稱單數(shù)happens。從意義上分析，可排除 C D 項(xiàng)。5

12、. A 表示“流淚” ，這幾個(gè)動(dòng)詞都可能表示這種意義，但句式搭配不同，其表現(xiàn)形式分別為 Tears fill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears 。6. B 從上下文意義判斷， “他不停地想起他對(duì)他兒子許下的諾言” 。7. B 動(dòng)詞和動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)是完形填空設(shè)項(xiàng)的重點(diǎn)之一。 此題要分清這四項(xiàng)的不同含義。 dig 及物動(dòng)詞，掘（土），挖” ;dig through （為找 ）在 里挖掘” ；dig out 發(fā)掘出”diginto “鉆研”。8. D 從結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)，用 and 則表示并列，用 said。9

13、. C Come on 表示勸說，不耐煩，意為得啦！，來！ ”，可用 Come, Come,代替。10. D 從詞義上判斷 one line 句話（臺(tái)詞）”，A 項(xiàng)中的 one word 干擾性較大，它表示一 個(gè)詞”，如用 words 是正確的。11. A “介詞 +反身代詞” 有固定含義， for oneself 獨(dú)自地，親自； by oneself 單獨(dú)地； of oneself 自行地，自動(dòng)地； to oneself 對(duì)（著）自己。12. C 這四個(gè)詞都有“活著的”之意， live 僅用作定語(yǔ)，作表語(yǔ)用 living ， alive 。 living 和 alive 在意義上有細(xì)微差別，

14、living 可作定語(yǔ)和表語(yǔ)，含有“本以為死了，然而還活著” ，又如：I cant believemy first teacher is still living 。 alive 作表語(yǔ)和后置定語(yǔ)， 其含義與 dead 相對(duì)應(yīng)。 lively 生動(dòng)的，活躍的”。精選13. D “在第 38 小時(shí)的時(shí)候，”，序數(shù)詞之前要用定冠詞。14. B 注意這四個(gè)詞的區(qū)別： sound “（各種） 聲音” ； voice “（人們說話的） 嗓音” noise精選“（不悅耳的）嘈音” ；tone “（人們說話的）語(yǔ)氣，語(yǔ)調(diào)” 。15. B 這是表將來的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，主句中用 would +動(dòng)詞原形，從下文的句子中

A 從意義上判斷， “如果你來救我，他們也會(huì)得救。 ”是條件狀語(yǔ)從句，應(yīng)該用 if 引導(dǎo)， 然而選項(xiàng)中沒有 if， when 與 if 同義，引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。 even if 引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。17. C 此

18、題包含一個(gè)固定句型：There areleft.還有.剩余下來”。18. C 14out of 33 意為：33 人中有 14 人活下來。out of 從. 里面”。特別注意此題中的介詞與前面的 left 沒有任何聯(lián)系。如果沒有意識(shí)到這點(diǎn)，極可能會(huì)選錯(cuò)。19.D 從意義上判斷， “房屋倒塌時(shí)，自然形成的三角空隙” 。而 make room; make space 意為（有意識(shí)地）為.騰出空間”。20. A 從上下文意義判斷，此句為原因狀語(yǔ)從句。（B ）My ears are recently full of joyous handsome, so cool, that I canI agree

24、星”這本文是一篇具有 定哲理和教育意義的、一事例， 闡明了“看問題不要只看表面， 而要Go Deep注重內(nèi)含”這一論點(diǎn)。必須引起高度重視。近幾年高考完形填空題多采用這種體裁，這類短文常常引用某一具體事例加以闡發(fā)，分析事物的發(fā)展方向，從而得出結(jié)論。文章的結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，邏輯性較強(qiáng)。對(duì)學(xué)生 的語(yǔ)篇整體理解能力和連貫思維能力有較高的要求。解題指導(dǎo)：1.A 介詞的固定搭配， “在某種程度上” 。2.D know about “了解”從下文中也能找到相同的短語(yǔ)。3. D apart from“除外，還有”，具有“附加性質(zhì)”。其他選項(xiàng)具有“排他性質(zhì)”。從上文中也能找到相同的短語(yǔ)。4. C 此題為“介詞 +關(guān)系代

25、詞”引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，about 與 be uncertain 搭配。5. B 從上文中的 we all 判斷，“不僅僅是我，還有我的朋友” 。6. A 從結(jié)構(gòu)上判斷，此句含有賓語(yǔ)和賓補(bǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)，賓語(yǔ)為this，后用單數(shù)。從下文的意義上判斷，為“生活中的樂趣之一” 。7. C 否定句中用 or 連接?！安灰_(dá)到瘋狂和胡鬧的程度” 。8. D “正如俗語(yǔ)所說的” ，此四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有 “說” 之意， 然而它們都有自己的搭配， A. speaks “說語(yǔ)言，演講” ；B. talks “交談” ；C. tells “告訴”；如用 says 是正確的，此題中的 goes與 says 同義。9. B judgeb

26、y 或 judgefrom“根據(jù).判斷”，從上句中能找到相同的意義。10. A “是一個(gè)人好的品德和貢獻(xiàn)才得以成為明星” 。 make 之后接復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)。11. D 從上下文意義上判斷， “在外貌上要少說” 。12. C 從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作伴隨狀語(yǔ)。13. A 從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，此處為定語(yǔ)從句，that 代替先行詞 things，所以謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)形式，關(guān)系代詞在從句中作主語(yǔ)， that 不能省略。14. B 此句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)較復(fù)雜，主語(yǔ)是前面的 the things ，此題要填謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，由于主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)之間有一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，造成了句子的復(fù)雜性。意義為“有明確的意義”。15. D 從意義上

27、判斷， “如果我們不注重內(nèi)含，滿足表面的東西，遲早會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我們將一無所獲”。16. C 從句子的連接上分析有“因果”關(guān)系。17. C 從意義上判斷，“除非我們意識(shí)到這點(diǎn)并做某些改變，否則的話”。精選18. B 從意義上判斷， “更注重內(nèi)含是一個(gè)人進(jìn)步（成熟）的象征” 。19. B pains 在此為及物動(dòng)詞，意為“費(fèi)（苦）心”，這種意義與上下文是相通的。20. D 根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)判斷，應(yīng)該用系動(dòng)詞。（ C ）Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.

36、， 更要從整體上把握文章的結(jié)構(gòu)， 按照文章的行文 邏輯進(jìn)行合理的推斷。如本題中的第2、6、7、12、13、19 小題。解題指導(dǎo)：1. B 從文章的主題句 Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.分析，可得出“職業(yè)婦女比家庭主婦更健康”。A項(xiàng)為語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤。2. C 根據(jù)上一句進(jìn)行邏輯推理， “沒有工作的人比有工作的人身體差” 。3. A 從結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，在賓語(yǔ)從句中又有一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。意為“研究表明當(dāng)失業(yè)率上升 1%，死亡率相應(yīng)上升 2%?！?. A 動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)意義的區(qū)別是完形填空

37、的?？键c(diǎn)，考生須平時(shí)注意積累。come down to “歸結(jié)為”；equal to “等于” ；add up to “合計(jì)” ；amount to “總共到；相當(dāng)于”。5. D 此題的干擾性較大，需從意義和結(jié)構(gòu)兩方面進(jìn)行分析，A 項(xiàng)“不填”似乎有可能，但從結(jié)構(gòu)上推敲，顯然不符“ keep sb. + adj. ”結(jié)構(gòu)；再?gòu)囊饬x上分析，可排除B、C 項(xiàng)。此題的意義為“使人們免遭孤獨(dú)和寂寞” 。6. D 從下文and Ionely when they have nothing to do 進(jìn)行邏輯推理，意義為“沒事做的人 會(huì)感到unhappy, worried and lonely ”。7. A

38、 從上下文邏輯上判斷。 “最快樂的人是那些大忙人。 ”8. D 從下一句分析，意為“工作當(dāng)作人與現(xiàn)實(shí)生活聯(lián)系的橋梁” 。9. B 從意義上判斷， “通過工作人們相互聯(lián)系（接觸） ”。10. A means “意味著”。11. D 從意義上分析，A、C 項(xiàng)不符合上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，B 項(xiàng)過于嚴(yán)重，還達(dá)不到“死亡”的程度。12. A 從文章的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，上文講述的是工作給人們帶來的益處，下文還是講述這方面的內(nèi)容，屬“遞進(jìn)”的關(guān)系，而不是“轉(zhuǎn)折”的關(guān)系。所以選A。13. B 從意義上判斷，此題必須同前面的 a sense of fulfillment （充實(shí)感）意義相類似。所以 選 B 項(xiàng)，意為“

39、成就感”14. C 從下文的 his writing 可判斷出答案。15. C 根據(jù)醫(yī)生從事的工作性質(zhì)可斷定是“成功地為病人動(dòng)手術(shù)” 。16. B “老師看到學(xué)生成長(zhǎng)” ，主要表示在知識(shí)、閱歷上的長(zhǎng)進(jìn)。17. D beyond words “無法用語(yǔ)言表達(dá)” ； in a word “簡(jiǎn)言之”； without a word “二話沒說” ；at a word “反應(yīng)迅速地，立即” 。18. A 從語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)上分析， conclusion 之后為一個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句，根據(jù)同位語(yǔ)從句的特點(diǎn)， that 不能省略，也不能用 which 和 what。19. D 從全文意義上分析， “工作越多， 人就會(huì)越高

40、興、 越健康”。而不是 “越寂寞、 越虛弱”。從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，此題含有一個(gè)“ the more ,the more ”句型。20. A 從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上判斷，此句為三個(gè)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞并列。同時(shí)注意修飾動(dòng)詞要用副詞well，不能用形容詞 good。英語(yǔ)閱讀理解精練三篇附詳細(xì)解析（A）Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower.

This is the firstPacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.Some 14,000

50、people left from the western coast of El Salvador. The storm weakened as it crossed land,heading east. Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricanes wake.Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season. It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles perhour, the minimum strength o
