Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from4. He looked very5, but he didn’t cry.

One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller10going over a fence—which wasn’t11to climb if you had bot h arms.

The Homeless Hero

For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with ￡400 in cash would be a source(来源) of temptation(诱惑). But the 1would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 2

more remarkable.

After spotting a 3on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 4to return.

After hours in the cold and wet, he 5inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系) the driver, only to 6it contained ￡400 in notes, with another ￡50 in spare change beside it.

He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 7 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth ￡35,000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 9.

The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 10.

Mr. Anderson said:“I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 11he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 12he didn’t take the wallet for himself;he thought about others 13. It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 14guys out there.”

Mr. Smith’s act 15much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from soci al media users after Mr. Anderson 16about the act of kindness on Facebook.

Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 17money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. “I think the faith that everyone has shown 18him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street;he’s had job 19and all sorts,”Mr. Anderson commented.

For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 20. The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.

4.D根据第三段首句里的old team和against可知,是“old team和new team 对阵”。根据下文中的Being the coach of the new team也可得出答案。

5.B空后句提到,作为教练,作者原本以为自己的队伍会取胜,所以感到非常高兴,设空处所

在句指出了作者有这种想法的原因,即老队伍不仅没有教练,甚至都没有为这次比赛做准备。cheer for为……喝彩;prepare for为……做准备;help with帮助;finish with以……结束。

6.A作者本以为自己的队伍能够取胜,但是令人失望的是最终失败了,所以作者无法相信(believe)自己会陷入这种境地。agree同意;describe描述;regret后悔,遗憾。

7.A句意:我认真考虑了一下,开始意识到我的队伍也许不是佐治亚州排名第一的队伍,但是他们在依靠着我。realize意识到;claim要求,声称;permit允许;demand要求。

8.C根据下文内容可知,这支队伍能否取胜要依靠作者,故depending on正确。react to对……做出反应;look for寻找;care about关心,担心。

9.B根据文章内容可知,作者开始认为他的队伍取胜是理所当然的,失败之后经过反思,采取了帮助队员建立自尊、把他们当作胜者、刻苦训练等措施,由此可推断此处为“我必须要改变对他们能力和潜力的态度”。由倒数第二段第一句中的the attitude of the leader 也可知答案。

10.A pride自豪,骄傲,自尊心;culture文化;fortune运气;relationship关系。作者开始尽自己所能,帮助队员们建立自尊,故A项正确。

11.C作者要带领一支曾经失败过的队伍走出困境,最重要的是帮他们找回自信心,所以作

者开始把他们当作胜者,故winners正确。根据倒数第二段第二句中的Instead of seeing my boys as losers也可得知答案。

12.B作者将其他队伍和自己的队伍进行了对比,根据we met every day...可知,其他队伍都

在享受假期(vacations)时,作者的队伍却每天都集合训练。

13.D队伍集合进行训练,由此可知此处表示“练习(practiced)传球、踢球”。

14.A根据上文内容可知,作者的队伍曾经被打败过,由此可知选A。defeat失败;decline下降,衰退;accident事故;mistake错误。

15.B作者的队伍取得了两次胜利后继续提高(improve),最终有了与州排名第一的队伍比赛的机会。relax放松;expand扩张;defend防卫,防御。

16.C上文提到作者将队员们当作胜者对待,并且队员们一直在获胜、提高,而且面对的是州排名第一的队伍,由此可推断此处表示“我认为即便我们输掉比赛,对我们而言也是一场胜利(victory)”。

17.B队员们战胜了州排名第一的队伍,所以这是作者人生中最激动的事情之一。chance机会;thrill令人激动的事;concern关心;offer出价。

18.D根据上文内容可知,作者作为教练改变了态度,带领队伍获胜,由此可知,作者从这段经历中得知了教练的态度对队员的影响。surprise使惊讶;serve服务;interest使感兴趣;affect影响。

19.A结合语境可知,作者作为教练并没有把队员当作失败者对待,而是一直在鼓励(encouraged)他们。observe遵守,观察;protect保护;impress给……留下深刻印象。

20.D根据文章内容可知,作者帮助队员们改变了他们对自己的看法,虽然他们曾经输掉过比赛,但是没有把自己当作失败者,由此可知differently(不同地)正确。honestly诚实

地;individually各自地;calmly冷静地。

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

2019全国卷Ⅰ高考英语完形填空答案详细解析

2019全国卷1高考英语完形填空答案详细解析 【预览部分】 【完形填空答案与详细解析】 【主旨大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文主要介绍乞力马扎罗山的垃圾污染问题以及当地管理机构努力治理之后环境的改观。本文就游客对乞力马扎罗山自然环境的破坏展开论述，对山体环境进行介绍，意在引起人们对于自然环境的重视。 41. D。考查动词词义辨析。译文：每年有40,000人到非洲最高的山脉乞力马扎罗山（Kilimanjaro）旅游，他们带来了许多废品垃圾。解答此题根本不用费什么心思，读完第一、第二句马上就明白：此题是因果逻辑推断题，即第一句是原因，第41空句是结果。根据前文Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.可知每年都有很多人去游览乞力马扎罗山，由此可推测该空是说游客将垃圾废物随身带到了山上。keep with意为“把……与……放一起”；mix with意为“（使）与……混合/结合”；connect with意为“与……连接”；bring sth. with sb. 意为“某人随身带来……”；故只有选项D切题。故选D。 42.C。考查名词词义辨析。译文：拥挤的人群破坏了美丽的乞力马扎罗山。此题仍然属于因果关系推断题。根据上一句Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.可知，每年有大约四万人游览乞力马扎罗山，所以此处是指游客所造成的破坏，由此推断出本题答案是crowds（拥挤的人群）。A. stories故事；B. buildings建筑物；C. crowds人群；D. reporters记者。故选C。 【正文】 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.

高考英语完型填空专题练习及答案

完形填空练习 【考点分析】主要考查语法知识、单词拼写能力和逻辑推理能力等，对基础相对薄弱的学生，尤其是英语语法基础相对薄弱的学生有一定的难度。 【复习策略】掌握句子的基本结构 首先，我们必须熟练掌握简单句的基本句型结构： （1）主语+谓语（+宾语+宾补） （2）主语+系动词+表语 其次，我们要充分了解充当各个句子成分的典型词类： （1）充当主语或宾语的典型词类是名词或代词。此外，还有动名词、不定式短语等。 （2）充当谓语的一定是动词。 （3）充当补语或表语的典型词类是形容词。 （4）在名词前作定语的典型词类是形容词或形容词性物主代词。 （5）作状语的典型词类是副词。 再次，我们还要掌握句子的扩展结构：两个或几个简单句之间若不用句号或分号，就必须要用连词，否则，句子的结构就不完整。连词主要有以下四类： （1）用and,but,or,while(而，却)，when（就在这个时候）等构成并列句。用if,unless,before,after,until,although,though,as,since,because,so,so that 等构成含状语从句的复合句（这里要注意区分一下复杂句和复合句，复合句是包含在复杂句这个概念里面的,在下文的基础写作部分有提到）。 （3）用who,which,that,when,where,why等构成含定语从句的复合句。（这里要提醒考生的是往往不给任何提示的空就是填连词或关系词的，但也须结合句子

结构来分析。） （4）用that,if/whether(是否)，wh-等构成含名词性从句的复合句。 【解题方法】用句子结构分析法巧解语法填空.分析句子的结构对解答语法填空题很有帮助。在解答语法填空题时，分析句子结构可以迅速确定所要填的词语的词类或大致方向，若再结合语境就可以很快得出具体的词语或词形，结合语境方面要特别注意短文的时态和上下文中的一些提示。 【经典例题】阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。 The Internet has become part of young people’s life. ____1____ report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet .
