上海市中考英语首字母填空练习
首字母填空类短文题是近几年各省、市中考题经常采用的题型之一，这种题难度相对较大，考生失分
现象很严重。
主观型首字母填空也称为限制型完形填空。它的特点是将一篇文章中若干个词“掏空”，留下该词的首
字母，它既作为提示又作为限制，让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整，使文章连贯。学生们在通读全
文、掌握大意的前提下，采用先易后难，再逐项填空的应试策略。做题时要通过字里行间来捕捉信息，既
要理清逻辑，又要综合考虑，最后通过复读全文来消除疏漏。给首字母填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试
的范畴，它考查的范围极广，可以是英语知识的方方面面，还可能涉及其它学科。它要求考生在充分理解
短文的基础上将单词拼写出来，并且单词形式合理，符合语法规范，符合短文需要。下面就讲一讲做这类
题的方法与技巧：
1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解
与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之间必
然承上启下、前呼后应。因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。
因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。
2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词
在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。在阅读时要特别注意一
篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心
思想。在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。另外，要学会跳读，
即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。有些短文填空题，有时出
现约 3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的
词义。
3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲技巧
再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。这一遍阅读
要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词
的正确形式。
4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形
做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，
有无句型结构及语法错误。从实际中看，很多学生能够充分利用词首字母和短文内容填写单词，但是，问
题往往出现在单词的形式变化上。比如填 q ，要求填写 quickly ，而多数考生只知道填写 quick ，忽略
了词性问题。因此，深思熟虑很重要。
通过以上对首字母填空类型题的讲解，同学们一定对这类题型有了更多的了解，掌握了此类题的考点
和做题的技巧后，给同学们准备了以下的练习题，请同学们及时巩固学习内容。

上海市中考英语首字母填空练习第一部分答案
Passage One
Key：1. name 2. busy 3. welcome 4. first 5. clothes 6. and 7. usually
首字母填空小技巧：找关键词或符号
（1）所谓近指的是指横线部分与重要信息属于同一句句中，而（1）题中，破折号起解释说明的作用，是
解题的关键，“the year of the sheep, the year of the monkey, the year of the tiger, etc.”这部分明显是对 a+
名词，其中名词的解释，根据这点，判断应填 name
（2）还是用“近”的方法，关键在于此句中 cleaning，are ____ doing，这个词组我们就立刻可以想到 be busy

doing 的结构
（3）to 是表示目的，目的是为了迎新，故就填 welcome（wait 这个词后面是要跟 for 的哦，所以此处不能

用 wait）
（4）
、（5）在这句话中同时出现了两个空格，这时就需要纵观全句进行首字母填空，从最完整的先看 and go
visit their relatives and friends 去拜访他们的亲戚和朋友，and 与前半部分有着承接的关系，put on 这个
词组表示穿上，穿上的必然是衣服，所以填 clothes（注意不能填 cloth，要用复数）再通过已填的空
与 the 我们可以得出应该是在新年的第一天，所以应用 first
（6）“Happy New Year”与 greetings 属于同类，都是表示问好，所以用 and 连接
（7）从整句句子来看，在行为动词前应该常用副词修饰，通过全句的解释，应用 usually
Passage Two
Key：1. can't（couldn't） 2. improve 3. lost 4. hungry 5. if 6. by 7. movie
首字母填空小技巧：揣测句意（结合语境）
（1）It c__(1)__ be him! My father was at home studying English at that time.在上篇完型中我们讲到了符号的
重要性，此处各位注意找一下，关键符号“！”，我们知道感叹号可以表示惊讶、非常肯定等，我们在
把视线移到后半句，我的爸爸那个时候正在家里学习英语，结合两者，我们可以确定“那不可能是他”，
应该用 can't 来表示不可能
（2）He wants to i__(2)__ his English. Last month he went to New York, U.S.A. He couldn't go anywhere alone
because he didn't understand people there. 所谓有因必有果，如果读完以上三句句子，我们不难发现后
面两句是第一句的因，从后两句来看，上个月他去了美国纽约（去干吗呢？）。他不能单独地去任何
地方因为他不能理解那里的人。（其实就是语言不通）由此可见，他想要的是提升自己的英语水平，
want to 后要跟动词原形，故用 improve
（3）、（4）、（5）需要结合起来来看，Once he was almost l__(3)__. And when he felt h__(4)__, he even didn't
know i__(5)__ there's a good place to eat.首先我们要知道 Once 是什么意思，这里的 once 解释为曾经，
然后我们又可以发现在后半句开头有个 And，前后句子之间存在着并列关系，他曾经几乎______。并
且当他感到_______，他甚至不知道_______有好的吃饭的地方。关键的地方在于“eat”这个动词，关于
吃，那肯定是感到饿了，（3）应该填 hungry，（5）这个词根据前后判断应该是连词，i 开头的连词，
我们初中就学到的一个，那就是 if，犹未注意这里的 if 是表示是否的意思。后半句语意完整了，那我
们就通过揣测后半句来推前半句，后半句的句意为并且当他感到饥饿的时候，他设置不知道是否有好
的吃饭的地方。用 and 并列两个相同的情况，除了饥饿之外，那就是迷路了，所以要用到词组 be lost，
（3）处应该填 lost
10
（6）Now he is studying English b__(6)__ listening to tapes.（6）前后的关系，我们知道现在他正在学习英语
通过听磁带的方式。
（7）By the way, are you free tonight? How about having dinner and then see the latest 3D m__(7)__? 现在最流
行的就是 3D 电影了，所以出现了 3D，那后面又是以 m 字母开头，显然应该填 movie，此处应该用
单数，因为前面有最高级
Passage Three
Key：1. However 2. every 3. like 4. way 5. thinking 6. disappear 7. more
首字母填空小技巧：判断词性与句子成分
（1）通过这个空格，大家很容易判断在逗号前常出现的就是转折副词 However 然而，我们在将结合上下

句意思进行检验，一些人不需要太多的睡眠。然而，根据科学家所说，我们都需要做梦。前后句子的
关系是转折关系。
（2）从句子成分而言，e______ night 在句子中做时间状语，从词性来讲，night 是跟名词，前应用形容词

来修饰，所以此处应该填的是 every
（3）Some dreams are l__(3)__ old films.在句子成分中，此处要不做的是状语，要不做的就是表语，若做表

语（3）处填的就应该是一个形容词或者名词，但是从整句句意来看，（3）应该填的是介词，在整句
句子中作状语，表示的意思为一些梦就像是老电影
（4）a 冠词后面往往跟的是名词短语，而在（4）有介词 of，所以（4）填的是一个名词，结合整句句子来

看，做梦也许是尝试找到一个答案的方法
（5）have been t_____，这个结构中很容易看出是一个时态的结构，在 be 动词后如果跟现在分词表示进行，

如果 be 动词后跟过去分词，则表示被动，从此处来看不存在被动关系，所以此处应该用现在分词
thinking，整句话的意思为他们却不能一整天在谈论他们的工作
（6）Dreams can d__(6)__ quickly from memory. 在 can 情态动词之后应该跟动词原形，所以（6）应该填的

是一个动词，从整句话中可以看出，梦能够从记忆中快速消失，所以用 disappear
（7）The m__(7)__ we sleep, the longer we dream. 此句中用了一个 the+比较级，the+比较级的结构，从后一

句来看 longer 是副词的比较级，所以前者应该也用副词的比较级，整句句意表示为我们睡的越多，我
们做梦的时间就越长，所以此处填 more
Passage Four
Key：1. help 2. fun 3. also 4. what 5. enjoy 6. hurt 7. without
首字母填空小技巧：
（1）may 后应该跟的是动词原形，通过整句话的意思应填 help，而在初中要学到一个词组 help sb（to）do

sth，从而验证此处应填 help
（2）根据比较连词 than，这里应该填的是一个形容词的比较级（be+形容词），而前面有 more 这个形容词

的比较级，后面应该填一个名词，比起去上电脑课他们更有趣些。所以此处填名词 fun
（3）通过句意与词性判断，这里应该填一个副词，而整句句子意思为游戏也能使你的脑子快速地工作
（4）疑问词+不定式的结构，因为 do 后应跟的是宾语，所以应该用 what to do，句意是你不得不在很短的

时间内找出做什么
11
（5）词组 enjoy oneself，通过 and 这个表示并列的连词，而后面 relax 表示 and 前面也应该有表示娱乐的
意义在里面
（6）词组 get hurt，if 这个连词引导的是条件性状语从句，如果你在电脑前坐很长的时间，你的手、背和

眼睛会受到伤害，所以此处填 hurt
（7）从句意进行判断：孩子们不应该用电脑超过 30 分钟没有休息的情况下，这里应该填 without 这个介

词，表示在没有...
Passage Five
Key：1. luck 2. broken 3. since 4. why 5. much 6. After 7. swimming
首字母填空小技巧：推理法
（1）many people said her success was just good l__(1)__. Now, Liu's talent and effort has proved that she is no
falling star in world swimming. 这个空要填出来，我们需要先结合语言环境进行判断，这里我们用从后
往前推的方法：现在，刘的天赋和努力已经证明了她在世界泳坛并不是一个失败的明星。从这句话我
们看，说明之前有人说她是失败的明星，前句表示许多人说她的成功只是好运（与后一句推测的意思
相吻合），所以此处应该填 luck，因为 good 是形容词后应该填的是名词
（2）During the past month, she has won gold medals and b__(2)__ the world record three times in this event.在
过去的几个月，她已经赢得了多枚金牌，这里的并列连词 and 表示前后应该是并列的关系，后面我们
也可以想到一个词组 break the record 打破记录，由此应该填 break，但要注意时态的变化，这里与前
面的 won 共用一个 has，所以应该填过去分词 broken
（ 3 ） The 20-year-old girl says she hasn't had a day off s__(3)__ she won the silver medal at Rome World
Championships in July, 2009.这题我们可以通过语法点来解题，前句用的现在完成时态，后句用的一般
过去时态，那连接这一时态的连词在我们初中学习的 s 开头的只有 since
（4）When she's not training, Liu keeps herself away from the noisy world outside. That's w__(4)__ she never
appears on front pages but wins top results in competions.这里运用到推测法的从前往后推的模式，前一
句很明显是有一句的原因，其实这里考到的是表语从句，应用 why
（5）Liu doesn't care too m__(5)__ about setting the world record. 跟在 too 这个副词以 m 开头的字母有两个，
一个是 many，一个是 much，这边它表示的是一个抽象的概念，意思是刘并不关注太多关于创造世界
记录。所以应该用 much 来修饰抽象的概念
（6）A__(6)__ being trained at a sports school in Benxi, Liaoning for two years, she joined a swimming club and
began her career.通过语法知识来解题，A 之后是一个动名词的被动语态，在这里考查的是介词后加动
名词，通过推测法，后面句意比较完整，从后向前推，她加入了一个游泳俱乐部并开始她的职业生涯。
由此看前面的意思为在辽宁的本溪的一所运动学校被锻炼了两年。前半部分是在后半部分之前，所以
应该用 After
（7）In 2007, Liu joined the national s__(7)__ team.在 2007 年，刘加入了国家游泳队。这里是一个事件的先
后，加入了游泳俱乐部后，之后通过努力加入了国家游泳队，所以应该用 swimming
Passage Six
Key：1. easier 2. part 3. tail 4. choose 5. left 6. between 7. means
首字母填空小技巧：常规固定搭配法
（1）a researcher who worked in Silicon Valley, wanted to find a way to make using computers e__(1)__. 看到这
12
道题目我们可能会难以下手，但是这里有个词 make，是我们突破的关键，在初中我们学过 make 常规
的搭配：make sb do 以及 make sb/sth adj，这里 using computer 明显是 sth，所以在（1）应该用形容词，
结合全句，一名在 Silicon Valley 工作的研究者想要找到一个让使用电脑怎么样地方法，在往前推到前
一句，电脑的尺寸太大了，而一段最后一句说他发明了个鼠标，明显前后有所比较，而且使得电脑的
使用变得更容易，所以（1）应该用形容词的比较级：easier【这个空有点难，在考试的时候可能会成
为难点之一】
（2）Nowadays, a computer mouse is a standard p __(2)__ of a computer. 结合整句句意来看，这里对于 standard

这个词很多学生不熟悉，但是从整个结构来看 a _____ of，鼠标是电脑的一部分，所以用到了固定搭
配 a part of，而 standard 这里只做形容词用来修饰 part，表示是标准的一部分
（3）It got its name because the wire coming out of the end of the first computer mouse reminded people of the
t__(3)__ of a real mouse. 主要介绍的是鼠标名字的由来，其实只要看后半句 remind sb of sth，表示提
醒某人某事，这里定冠词 the 后应该用名词，提醒人们是一个真正老鼠的什么，联合实际想下，鼠标
像什么，老鼠的尾巴（只是线比较长而已），所以这里应该填 tail
（4）、（5）If there is something on the screen that the user wants to c__(4)__, he can move the cursor over it and
click the l__(5)__ button of the mouse. 又碰到了一句多空的现象，按照我们之前说，应该先把容易的给
填出来，逐个击破，这里我们先通看下全句，如果有使用者想要干嘛（动作）的东西在屏幕上，他能
够移动指针到它上面并且点击鼠标的左键（用过电脑的应该都清楚）所以（5）应该填 left，我们在联
合实际，点击鼠标左键其实是要选中某个点击的事物，所以很明显（4）应该填 choose
（6）They also have a "scroll wheel" - a small wheel b__(6)__ the two main mouse buttons. 这里可能有些单词
不认识，但是联想鼠标上有些什么，除了两个按键还有一个在中间的滑轮，这里就不难填了，应该填
between，表示在两个主要的鼠标键中间有一个小滑轮
（7）The user can move the wheel back or forth to "scroll" through things like a website or folder（文件夹）, which
m__(7)__ moving it up or down on the screen.如果遇到空格在从句中，一定要先看主句在看从句进行判
断，主句意思是使用者能够移动滑轮前后来浏览那些像一张网页或一个文件夹的东西，而后半句是表
示做前面整句的定语从句，表示的前面整句话的意思也表示能够在屏幕上上上下下的移动它（一张网
页或一个文件夹），接下来看从句，从句中缺少谓语动词，这里指代前面整句句子，所以谓语动词要
用单词，而后面的 moving 又提示我们，要注意固定搭配，这里用到的是 mean doing sth，表示意味着
做某事
Passage Seven
Key：1. Although 2. choices 3. least 4. other 5. managed 6. aged 7. studies
首字母填空小技巧：综合用法
（2）A__(1)__ these schools have to follow the national courses, they have a lot of c__(2)__ in deciding what
（1）、
to teach. 遇到两个空的句子，首先，我们先看较为完整的前半句，这些学校不得不遵循国家规定课程，
而后半句为他们有许多什么在决定教什么方面。前后两句通读下，发现两句之间必然存在一种关系，
这种关系即为转折，虽然被限制，但是还是有许多选择在决定方面，所以此处两个空应该填的是
Although 与 choices
（3）这里考的是固定搭配，但是有些同学第一印象可能是 at last，首先代进去看下，Some of these new

schools are called "small schools" because the number of pupils is only sixty, but at l__(3)__ there should be
twenty-seven pupils.这些新学校中的一些被称为小学校因为学生的数量只有 60 人，但是最后应该有 27
名小学生。很显然句意在此不通顺，这里考查的是固定搭配 at least，应该是至少应该有 27 名小学生，
因为没有前就没有后，所以不存在 at last 的情况
13
（4）It was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, England and o__(4)__ parts of Ireland 通过语法
的方法来解题，首先我们看 parts 是一个名词的复数，and 这个连词又起并列的作用，很显然这里应该
填形容词，表示其它的的形容词又以 o 开头的只有我们常见的 other
（5）、（6）They m__(5)__ to get an old, disused（废弃的）primary school building and started with twenty-four
children a__(6)__ from four to twelve. 如果词汇记忆熟悉的话，（5）的固定搭配就出来了，manage to do
sth 解释为想法设法做某事（若想不出的话，可以结合前 2 句来看，They came because they wanted to live
in the countryside and to grow their own food. In June 1986, they decided to start a school. 他们来是因为他
们想要住在乡村并且种植他们自己的食物。在 1986 年的 6 月，他们决定开一所学校，由此可以判断
后半句是先要想办法找到一所旧的被废弃的学校，因此填 manage to do sth）；后半段句意为开始是以
24 个孩子年龄从 4 岁到 12 岁，这里是过去分词作状语（这空考的比较难），所以应该填 aged
（7）And so the courses include yoga, cooking, knitting, kite-making, music, fishing , drama and environment
s__(7)__, as well as reading, writing, Maths and Science.综合句意来看，（7）应该是填 studies，表示环境
研究
Passage Eight
personal create other idea with share popular
Passage Nine
全文概况是身处英国的作者在经历一次他印象深刻的伦敦地铁罢工事件时，巧遇他旧日在苏格兰的同学的
故事。在截取这样一个素材时，出题者选取了 8 个词汇作为得分点。做题技巧如下：
第 1 空的答案是 ago。此处很少有同学失分，把握一般过去时的必要的条件就是要有一个表示段时间的 a few

years ,再看文中其余动词的时态就很容易推断出是指几年以前。两种解题技巧：一个是按字母排序；
5-10 个左右，然后排除法删除，如：a/an/about/ago/age/apple/at/and/add/accident/again 接着对号入座，
终究会有一个词性，词组搭配以及逻辑和意义关系最接近的最佳答案。
第 2 空的答案是 added.此处失分的同学不少，其难点有二：先是要判断此空所需单词的词性是什么。让我
们跳过空格审视一下剩余部分还缺少什么句子成分？该句主语、宾语都在，只有中间的谓语不见，由
此推断该处应为开头是 a 的动词，作者一再强调此次罢工是 terrible 的，那么消极影响就必然是增加
作者的麻烦。并且该句后面有一个介词 to 出现，那么什么动词既表示“增加、添加”又可以和 to 一同
使用呢？那么只有 add 符合条件。第一个难点解决了，下一个就要看时态。根据统一原则，把 add 改
为过去时 added。很多同学过了难点以后就不再关注细节了，导致只填了 add 而失分。
第 3 空的答案是 Everything.原则同上。注意首字母的大写。
第 4 空答案是 face.作者偶然注意的人身体上的哪个部位会是以 f 开头的呢？有 face,foot 等等可能，显然填

脚是“令人眼熟的”似乎不大合乎逻辑，能一眼被人辨认的人体部位就是面孔，因此判断是 face。
第 5 空答案是 also.副词的考察这已经是第二次出现了，通观这一句，所有主要成分无一缺席，惟有表示“也、
同时”的副词才符合题意，因而确定为 also.表示在作者认出这样一个老同学的同时，对方也同时辨认
出了“我”的身份。
第 6 空答案是 know.此句是一个包含省略关系代词“that/who/whom”的定语从句的复合句，先行词可确定是
people,而表示“认识/知道”含义的以 k 开头的动词只有 know。
第 7 空答案是 where.先要复习一下宾语从句的概念，它是指在主从复合句中充当宾语、位于及物动词、介
词或复合谓语之后的从句。引导宾语从句的连接词有：连词 that，whether，if；连接代词 who，which，
14
what 以及其强调形式 whoever，whichever，whatever；连接副词 when，where，why，how 等。本句
及物动词 ask 后很明显应该衔接的是双宾语，其中有直接宾语——人称代词 him,后面就要跟一个由任
意连接副词引导的宾语从句做间接宾语。再向后看，发现“老朋友”回答作者他是要去工作，从而确定
选择连接副词 where 代指地点。
第 8 空答案是 world.此句是非正常形式的感叹句，虽然不是由“what/how”引导，但后面的感叹号仍说明了
该句的性质，在判断出了以上 7 个空白后，同学们可轻易知道作者感慨的是“这世界真小！”名词 world
等均包含在《初中英语学科教学基本要求》里。
以上 8 个空白应填的每个单词或是其变型形式，都没有超出课程标准的要求，甚至大部分单词的字母数都
不超过 5 个。可见中考英语试题中首字母填空类题目并不是要在单词难度上做文章，而是要全方位地考察
同学们对所学知识点的综合判断能力以及总体语言应用水平。

通读全文知道这是一个小趣闻。中国的姓氏中“孙（sun）”与英文中“太阳（sun）”同型，而英国本身
的天气多是多云或下雨的，因此英国人很喜欢阳光，所以当他们看到“sun（孙）”的时候，会很开心，
希望可以带来阳光。
1【答案】family 【解析】从首句一个中国孩子去英国来看，他的什么是“孙”，很显然，他的姓是孙，
姓为family name,所以此空应为family。这里要注意的是，有学生会填first，但是first name不是姓，
last name为姓氏。
2【答案】weather 【解析】从后文cloudy和rainy来看，前文指的是天气，因此应该填weather。
3【答案】much【解析】由前文提到经常多云和下雨，可知阳光不多，因此后面应该填much或many ，sunshine
为不可数名词，因此选much。
15
4【答案】happy 【解析】sun有太阳的意思，英国阳光很少，所以人们看到太阳会很开心，这里警察看到
Sun这个词会联想到太阳，因此填happy.
5 【答案】thought 【解析】由于“孙（Sun）”与“太阳（sun）”同型，因此可以推测警察看到“孙（Sun）”
的时候会想到“太阳（sun）”，因此要选think这个词，但是注意时态这里要用过去时，所以填thought。
6【答案】welcome 【解析】到一个新的国家，警察第一句和你说的话一般都是欢迎你的到来，因此应该
是you are welcome.
7【答案】sunshine 【解析】原文中第二行已经出现sunshine(阳光)这个词，这句话想表达的意思是你可
以给英国带来阳光。

上海市中考英语首字母填空练习第二部分 118 篇
Passage 1
Here’s a story about Ming’s life on the waters. Ming has lived all his life on a wide
r 1 in China. His home is a large house-boat with a roof, one of hundreds that move
up and down. In about six years he has not once been on l 2 but he is never lonely.
He is a strong swimmer. In fact, he could swim before he could walk. When he wants to
play with his f 3 he just swims across to their boats or asks them to v 4 him.
Ming’s father is a fisherman, but he never u 5 a line or a net（网）. Great black birds
called cormorants do the fishing for him. Rings（圈）have been put around the birds’
n 6 so that they cannot eat the fish they catch. They have been t 7 to bring the
fish to people. And then people reward（奖励）them with a fine big fish as soon as their
work is f 8 . Ming loves watching the cormorants, but better still he likes going
s 9 with his mother. The shops, of course, are boats very like his o 10 .
1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______
8. _______ 9. _______ 10. _______
1
1. river 2. land 3. friends 4. visit 5. uses。
6 necks 7. taught/trained 8. finished 9. shopping 10. own。
【解析】本篇短文第一句“关于明的在水上的生活”，给大家一个总体的信息，重点是“on the
waters”，而且时态为现在时。
1. river。既然 Ming 的生活是和水紧密联系的，所以第一个空就很容易了，r 打头的关于水的单词，就

是 river，因为前面有冠词 a，所以只用单数形式。
2. land。通过前文可以得知，“Ming 住在一个船型的屋子里，6 年里他从来没有到过**，但是他从来不

孤单”，也就是说他非常喜欢在水上的生活，因此可以推测出他从来没有来过陆地，填 land。
3. friends。本空的关键在 play with，通常后面可以加 fire、snow，但是与文意不符，所以是与朋友们

玩，后文的 their 说明是复数形式，填 friends。
4. visit。本空的 ask them to ** him 和 or 之前的 swims across to their boats 是相互对应的，要么 Ming
去朋友那里，要么他的朋友来看他，所以填 visit，表示拜访的意思。
5. uses。本句说到，Ming 的父亲是一位渔夫，一位渔夫捕鱼用线或者网是非常正常的事情，但 but 表示

转折，说明他的父亲与一般渔夫不一样，不使用线或者网，后文的 birds do the fishing for him 也说明
他自己不需要用这些工具。他的父亲是第三人称，所以填 uses。
6 necks。.本题是难题，通过上下文可以得知，Ming 的父亲在那些鸬鹚的某个部位圈上了圈，所以它们
就不能把捕到的鱼吃下去了。通常鸬鹚吃鱼是直接吞的，如果不让它们吃下去的话只能在脖子上圈住，
这样鱼就会卡住，吞不下去，而且鸬鹚是复数形式，所以填 necks。
7. taught/trained。那些鸬鹚不是天生就会为 Ming 的父亲捕鱼的，而是通过后天的训练和教导，所

以填 taught 或者 trained。
8. finished。通过句意得知，当鸬鹚的工作**了之后，它们会得到一大条鱼作为奖励，从逻辑上来看，
应该是完成工作后，而且空前有 is，所以填 finished。
9. shopping 。最后一句中，出现了 shop，提示了此空和 shop 有关，应该是由 go 引导固定词组，go

shopping，表示去购物。
10. own。本题也是难题。因为 Ming 是生活在水上的，那么肯定商店也是在水上的，从短文的第二句可

以推测出，商店也是和 Ming 的家的外形很像，所以填 own，词组 of one's own 表示某人的，这里解释
为“这个商店也和 Ming 自己的家外形很像”。

Passage 2
Can animals be made to work for people? Some scientists think that one day
animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs i 1 of people. They say that at a
circus（杂技场）,for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals
doing q 2 skillful（熟练的）things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in
a film. If you watch closely, you may find that the trainer always g 3 the animal some
sugar o 4 a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many d 5 animals may
be trained to do a lot of simple things if they know they will get a reward f 6 doing
that.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be trained to look after a house, and soldiers in
both old and modern t 7 have u 8 geese to give warning（警报）by m 9 a lot of
noise when an enemy comes near. And also it may be possible to train animals to work
in families or f 10 .
1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______
8. _______ 9. _______ 10. _______
3
1. instead 2. quite 3. gives 4. or 5. different
6. for 7. times 8. used 9. making 10. factories
【解析】本篇短文的首句，用一个疑问句来提出了“动物可以为人类工作？”，说明本篇文章将围绕此问题
展开，而且时态为现在时。
1.通过本句句意理解，“科学家认为有一天动物可以被训练，然后做一些简单的工作”，意思与文章首句呼
应，所以是代替人们做简单的工作，填 instead of，表示代替。
2.本空可以使用语法上的技巧。如果本空忽略不看的话，句子仍然是成立的，说明填的单词词形不会是名
词、动词或形容词，所以只能填副词来修饰 skillful，那么“非常”可以用 quite 来表示，因此填 quite。
3.本空应该填动词，当动物做好表演时，训练者会给动物一些奖励，所以填 gives。
4.本题很好理解，要么给动物一些糖，要么就给水果，填 or，表示选择性。
5.通过上文可以得知，现在大象、猴子、狗和其他动物都被训练做了许多事情，所以动物的种类是多种多
样的，空格前的 many 也提示了不同种类的，所以填 different。
6.本题很好理解，作为……的奖励，用介词 for。
7.本题考察的是词组的运用，表示在以前和现在，填 times，表示时代。
8.在以前和现在，士兵们都用鹅来发警报，使用某物，填 use，前面有 have 表示现在完成时，因此填 used。
9.本题考察的是词组的固定搭配，通过让鹅制造噪音来提醒士兵们有敌人靠近了，词组是 make noise，前

面有介词 by，所以填 making。
10.本题的逻辑词是 or，表示选择性，说明本空也是一个表示地点的词，并且同样是由介词 in 引导，所以

不能填 farm（on the farms）而且应该和 families 呼应，要用复数形式，填 factories。

Passage 3
In recent years, playing kite-board seems to become more and more popular in
Alaska in America. It is a new and old game. The game has w 1 the interest of many
young people. The game is interesting but a little d 2. One needs to play it very c 3 .
A kite-board is in fact a skateboard（滑雪板）drawn（拉）by a few big flying kites.
The old game was p 4 by some young people in Holland and Spain as e 5 as the
last century. Since the board was hard to control, f 6 people dared（敢）to play it. With
the development of the design of kite and skateboard, many people can l 7 how to play
it. A kite board may go as f 8 as about 50 kilometers an hour. If you haven’t had any
practice, you’d better not play it. It is not s 9 .
It is said that the game can exercise not only your b 10 but also the sensitivity of
your brain（大脑的敏捷）.
1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______
8. _______ 9. _______ 10. _______
5
1. won 2. difficult/dangerous 3. carefully 4. played 5. early

6. few 7. learn 8. fast 9. safe 10. body
通过本文第一句，可以得知文章的中心主体是 kite-board（风筝板，冲浪运动的一种，可借助风力飞上天）。
1. 通过文章首句，可以得知近些年风筝板越来越流行，既然如此流行，必定会让年轻人产生浓厚的兴趣，
空 1 所在的句子的兴趣用了 interest 名词形式，说明要用一个动词来表示出“引起、得到”的意思，那么
很容易想到“赢得某人的兴趣”，用 win，前面有 has 是现在完成时，所以 win 改成 won。
2. 空 2 的关键点在于逻辑词 but，but 表示前后意思的转折，“风筝板很有趣，但是也很**”，那么和“有趣”

相对的就是“危险”或者“困难”，所以 dangerous 或 difficult 皆可。
3. 第一段最后一句是前面一句的延伸，如果空 2 填出来，空 3 就不成问题，正是因为这项运动很危险，所

以玩的时候必须要非常小心仔细，填 carefully。
4. 文章首句就有 playing kite-board，提示出空 4 应该是 play 的被动语态，填 played。
5. 本题考察的是 as…as 的结构，当中填形容词或者副词的原级，关键点在结构后的 last century，既然已经

是上个世纪，不难想出应该是“和上世纪一样早”，所以填 early。
6. 本局先有 Since 引导出了一个原因，“因为风筝板非常难以控制”，而导致“结果就是很少有人敢玩”，所

以填 few。
7. 本题难度不大，是“许多人们可以学习如何去玩”，所以填 learn。
8. 本题的关键在于空格后的 50 kilometers an hour（每小时 50 公里），不难得知这是一个速度，所以是和

这速度一样快，所以填 fast。
9. 本题是逻辑题，通过前半句可以得知“如果没有练习，最好不要玩”，后半句就是解释为什么不要去玩，
因为不是很安全，所以填 safe。
10. 通过整篇文章，我们对风筝板的运动有了一个大概的了解，它可以让人们得到锻炼，所以是锻炼身体，
因此填 body。

Passage 4
British Milkman Steve Leech saved some shops and flats with milk and won a
National Bravery Award（国家勇敢奖）.
Leech, 35 years old, said that when he was sending out milk as u 1 along Pine
Street, he s 2 heard a loud, strange sound behind him and then he saw smoke coming
out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England. “That must be a fire, I t 3 ” Leech said.
“Then I quickly d 4 to do something. So I p 5 the door in and then I s 6 for
the people inside. Then I started pouring milk e 7 . ” He used 320 pints of milk to
stop the fire. When firefighters r 8 the shop, the fire was under control.
Leech helped save the l 9 of eight people in the flats above the shops.
“It was hard work o 10 all those bottles. But it was even harder trying to tell
my boss where all the milk had gone,” Leech said jokingly.
1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______
8. _______ 9. _______ 10. _______
7
1.usual 2.suddenly 3.thought 4. decided 5. pushed

6. shouted 7. everywhere 8. reached 9. lives 10. opening
文章首句已经点明了主要内容：Leech 用牛奶救了好多家商店和公寓，所以赢得了国家勇敢奖。因此，不
难想出，本篇文章是记叙文，主要叙述了他如何得到奖项的经过，所以也可以确定动词形式为过去时。
1. 本题考察的是固定词组的搭配，“和往常一样”，是 as usual。
2. 本句话说的是“当他和往常一样送牛奶的时候，听见了一声巨响”，那么可以肯定，在空 2 未填词的情况
下，句子仍然成立，所以首先可以确定填的词是一个副词。通过自己的设身处地的想法，在没有任何征
兆的情况下，听到一声巨响肯定非常突然，所以填其副词形式，suddenly。
3. 本题有一定的英语知识融在其中，首先空 3 不难，可以想出是“我认为这是一个火灾”，确定词为 think。

通常在英语中 I think 可以放在句首，也可以放在句末（前面加逗号），这里的“我想”已经是过去发生的
事情，所以填 thought。
4. 空 4 所在的句子也是当时 Leech 做的事情，通过推断，当他看到火灾之后，肯定会做一些事情，而且非

常坚定，所以用 decided。
5. 本空的关键在于介词 in，对象又是 door，所以马上可以想到推门进入，所以填 pushed。
6. 本空是难点，通过上下文可以得知，Leech 推门进入之后，并没有直接救人或者搜索人的情况，而是直
接开始扑火，所以不能填 searched。通过常识，推门进入后应该首先确定是否有人，所以要通过大喊来
确定，因此本空填 shouted。
7. 本题不难，Leech 开始用牛奶灭火，倒得到处都是，所以填 everywhere。
8. 本句出现了 firefighters 消防员，那么就是当他们赶到现场的时候，火势已经得到了控制，因此填 reached。
9. 通过本句得知，在商店的上面几层有 8 人，Leech 救了他们的生命，life 为可数名词，所以这里填复数

形式 lives。
10. 本句的句型是一个难点，因为不是所学的 it is ... to do 的结构，但是通过后句的 it was even harder trying...

可以得知，本空的动词是 doing 形式，因为牛奶瓶上有盖子，所以打开盖子是非常困难的，所以填 opening。

Passage 5
April Fools’ Day is on April 1st. People can play j 1 on others on this special
d 2 . If you succeed, you usually laugh and say “April Fool!” The person who has
been fooled by you l 3 too, and he will never be angry with you.
Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday of May. It’s a day to t 4 mothers. On

that day mothers usually receive flowers and cards from their children. Fathers and
children do the housework so that mothers can have a r 5 .
Easter Day falls on the first Sunday after the full moon which is on or after March
21st. It’s also called Easter Sunday. It is said that on that day Jesus Christ comes back to
l 6 . Many people go to church and children often get p 7 such as toy rabbits.
Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November. It’s a day when people
give thanks for the good things in life. Usually families all get t8 and have a big dinner.
Christmas Day comes on D 9 25th. It’s the most important festival in a year. The
beautiful things can be s 10 everywhere. People exchange gifts, send Christmas cards
and visit friends.
1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______
8. _______ 9. _______ 10. _______
9
1. jokes 2. day 3. laughs 4. thank 5. rest
6. life 7. presents 8. together 9. December 10. seen
【解析】本文叙述了 5 个外国的节日，即每段为一个主题，段与段之间没有联系。
1. 愚人节怎么愚人呢？就是开别人的玩笑，而且不止一个玩笑，所以是 joke 的复数形式，填 jokes。
2. 前面用了介词 on，也就是说要加具体某一天，后面用了 this special 来修饰了愚人节，因此填 day。
3. 空 3 难在形式。不难看出，空 3 应该填一个动词，但是是什么形式呢？仔细分析句子会发现，who has been

fooled by you 是一个定语从句修饰先行词 the person，解释为“那个被你愚弄的人”，
因此主语是 the person，
仍然是单数形式。空 3 后出现了 too，说明此空的答案已经出现，前一句当中的 laugh 提示此空应该也
填 laugh，综合主语形式，本空填 laughs。
4. 本段提到了母亲节。既然是母亲节，那一天我们应该是感谢母亲，所以填 thank。
5. 空 5 所在句子的前半句已经提到，“母亲节那天父亲和孩子会做些家务”，那么这样的结果就是妈妈们可
以好好休息一下，所以是固定词组搭配，have a rest。
6. 本段提到了复活节，若熟悉外国文化的话，空 6 便能填出。复活节是纪念耶稣基督在十字架受刑后复活
的节日。既然是纪念他复活，所以他会回到现实生活中来，因此填 life。
7. 本空的关键提示在于 children 和 such as toy rabbits，举的例子是玩具兔子，因此不难想出这些都是给孩

子们的礼物，而且 toy rabbits 是复数形式，所以礼物也是复数，填 presents。
8. 本段说的是感恩节。通常在感恩节，外国家庭会聚在一起吃大火鸡晚饭，也是家庭团聚的日子，而且空
8 后的 a big dinner 也提示了这必须是很多人聚在一起吃的饭，因此填 together。
9. 本段说的是圣诞节。空 9 考的便是圣诞节的时间，是每年的 12 月 25 日，所以填 December。
10. 本空不难，说的是“好多漂亮的东西到处都能看见”，而且是被动形式，所以填 seen。

【解析】本篇文章主要说了 Mr King 的书店遇到的一个故事，记叙文形式。
1. 空 1 的关键词在于 couldn't，而且通过文章可以发现他最终离开了学校，所以可以推出他很忙，填 busy。
2. 空 2 的关键词在于后句，opened a book shop，所以说明他很喜欢读书，填 reading。
3. 空 3 的关键词在于 town，既然是城镇，肯定说的是书店在城镇中的方位，所以填 center。
4. 空 4 为理解题，“他可以在家里看书”说明当时书店已经结束营业了，所以填形容词 closed（解释为关闭
的），close 作为形容词时解释为靠近的、亲密的。
5. 本题考察固定词组，与某人交朋友，填 friends。
6. 本题有难度。关键在于弄清楚 all the buyers 和 a girl 之间的关系。通过后文可得知，所有人都走了，只

有一个小女孩还在店里，所以填 except，表示为除了一个小女孩。
7. 固定搭配。
wait for 后加某人或者某物，结合文章，更贴切的应该是等待某人，因此填 somebody 或 someone
都可。
8. 固定搭配。one after another 表示一个又一个，这里解释为一本又一本的书。
9. 本题较难。本题的关键并不是 Mr King 所说的 That's easy.，That's easy 解释为（做什么事情）很简单，

而不是说这本书很简单，因此空格不填 difficult。本题的关键在于前文出现的 dull（枯燥）后面的 cookbook，
既然是一本烹饪的书，关于食物的形容词，只能用 delicious，除了解释为美味的，还可以解释为有趣的。
10. 固定词组搭配，拿出一本书的词组为 take out a book，这里用过去时，改成 took。

Passage 7
Once Effendi had a joke with the Prime Minister （首相） . He said the Minister
w 1 die the next day. The next day, the Minister really f 2 off the horse and
died. When the king h 3 of this, he got angry and sent his men to c 4 Effendi at

minister would die, you must also know the date of your own death. Say it out, or you’ll
die today.”
Effendi l 7 at the king and answered, “But how can I know? I’ll die two days
e 8 than you.”
The king was a 9 that he would die if he killed Effendi. He thought he must keep
Effendi alive（活着）as long as he could. So he l 10 him go.

1. would 2. fell 3. heard 4. catch 5. when

6. angrily 7. looked 8. earlier 9. afraid 10. let
【解析】本文主要叙述了 Effedndi 开玩笑的事情，所以整个文章处于过去的基调。
1. 本题考察的是时态，因为是过去发生的事情，而时间状语又是 the next day，所以用过去将来时，填 would。
2. 本题考察的是词组，宾语是马，那么推断出词组是从马上摔下来，因此填 fell。
3. 本题考察词组搭配，解释为听说了某事，为 heard of。
4. 当国王听说了这件事情之后，他非常生气，所以要抓住他，因此填 catch。
5. 本题不难，解释为当 Effendil 来的时候，所以填 when。
6. 本题的提示在第一段的 got angry，已经说明了当时国王的心情，所以这里也要表示生气的意思，放在动

词 shouted 之后，用副词形式，填 angrily。
7. 本题考察固定词组搭配，Effendi 看着国王，所以填 looked。
8. 本题的关键在于 than，说明肯定要用比较级，通过文意可以得知，Effendi 说他比国王早死两天，因此

填 earlier。
9. 本题的提示在后句，he thought he must keep Effendi alive as long as he could，从本句可以看出，国王为了

不让自己死去，所以要让 Effendi 活着，表现出国王的害怕，所以填 afraid。
10. 本题不难，作为文章的结局，很明显能想到，国王为了自己不早死，所以放他走了，填 let。

Passage 8

and he feels no sorry about it. He was finding his new work far more i 2 . When he

run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag f 4 of money. Roy acted
quickly and drove the bus straight to the thieves. The one w 5 the money got so
afraid that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get a 6 in their car,
Roy drove his bus into the b 7 of it. While the car was moving away, Roy stopped

【解析】本文主要叙述了 Roy Trenton 用公交车抓贼的事情，整个文章处于过去的基调而且连贯性强。
1. 本文首句说明了 Roy Trenton 的身份，他曾经是出租车司机，但是现在他是一名公交车司机，所以谓语

动词表示成为的词，是 become，这里填过去时 became。
2. 本文的提示在前句 he feels no sorry about it，说明他转业了之后并不后悔，非常喜欢他的新工作。空 2

前的 far 提示了后面肯定填比较级，more 也提示了这是一个多音节单词，很容易想到 interesting。
3. 本题的提示在 and 之后，因为 and 连接前后两个并列成分，所以动词应该是一致的，是 run，而且从一

个商店跑出的动作持续时间很短，所以可以用 see sb. do sth.的结构表示看见某人做某事的全程，所以填
run。
4. 本题考察固定词组搭配，一个包和钱之间的关系应该是塞满钱的包，of 提示了“充满的”词组是 full of，

因此填 full。
5. 本题考察介词用法，因为后文出现了位于动词 got，因此肯定表示为“带着钱的那个贼”，表示“带着、和…
一起”的介词是 with。
6. 本题考察的是固定词组搭配，两个贼想要开车逃离，词组是 get away，因此填 away。
7. 词组 drive into 表示为“打入、撞入”，所以肯定是撞击了汽车的某个部位，b 打头的部位很容易想到 back，

表示为车尾。
8. 本题不难，Roy 把公交车停下然后打电话通知了警察，所以填 telephoned。
9. 通过句意理解，因为车尾被撞坏，所以辨认起来非常简单，所以填 easy。
10. 本题不难，作为文章的结局，肯定是两个贼被抓住了，所以填 caught。

6. away 7. minutes 8. player 9. end 10. wins
【解析】本篇文章为一场足球解说，而且所有动词都用一般现在时形式。
1. 本空的提示在前半句“这真的是一个非常精彩的比赛”，由此可以推导出这是最好的一个，而且 I have seen

this year 也提示出应该用最高级，所以填 best。
2. 本题不难，前文已经出现过 game，此处是词语复现，填 game。
3. 本空不难，主语是人 Henry，结构上来说主谓宾齐全，最后加了一个国家，即可以推断出为了国家而踢
球，所以填 for。
4. 到目前为止，已经看出这是一场足球赛的解说。介词 to 提示了，这个动词应该是表示方向性的，由此
可以想到足球运动中的“传球”，因此填 passes。
5. 本题考察的是选择正确的动词，既然是踢球，所以动词一定是 kick，此处为第三人称，填 kicks。
6. 此空考察的词组的搭配，从句中可以得出“他离球门太远所以没有进球”，因此填 far。
7. 本题的关键在于 left，解释为“剩余”，推测出是时间剩余，所以填 minutes。
8. 本题考察的是句子的成分，谓语 gets 和宾语 the ball 已经出现，所以此处很明显填主语，既然是足球比

赛，肯定是球员得到了球，所以填 player。
9. 此处很明显表示的是“……的最后”，所以填 end。
10. 作为故事的结果，英国队赢得了比赛，所以填 wins。

Picture phones can be useful when you have s 6 to show the person you’re calling.

1. 本空考察词组，“用…来做某事”，所以填 use。
2. 本题不难，通过句意可以得知“打电话的时候你看不到那个和他谈话的人”，所以填 talking。
3. 本题的关键在于 may，表示一种可能性，那么在将来这种情况可能会被改变，所以填 change。
4. 后面引号中的是电话的名字，所以是“被叫做…的电话”，填 called。
5. 本题的关键在于后半句话，“人们可以在打电话的时候看到对方”，所以是有这种电话才行，填 With。
6. 通过句意理解，既然叫做“图片电话”，就是可以发送一些东西给朋友看，所以填 something。
7. 本题的关键在于 and 之后的部分，ask to borrow a book 指的是借书，所以肯定和图书馆有关，那么空

7 所在的句子解释为“打电话给某人”，所以填 librarian。
8. 本题考察介词的用法，本句说的是“可以用图片手机来购物”，那么空 8 解释为“通过某种方式”，填 through。
9. 本题不难，解释为“商店会把你要的东西送过来”，填 send。
10. 本题考察的是综合理解，因为图片手机购物很方便，所以人们不需要出家门就能买到东西，填 needn't。

1. 本空不难，首先可以确定为被动语态，再看主语为 vegetables，马上想到种植，所以填 planted。
2. 本句同样是被动语态，主语为 greenhouse，是一个建筑，要种植蔬菜肯定要先有建筑，所以填 built。
3. 本题考察固定词组搭配，由……组成的词组是 be made of。
4. 第四题开始描述温室的尺寸，有 10 米长，所以填 long。
5. 第五题说的是温室的宽，所以填 wide。
6. 本题稍有难度，既然是在温室中种植，而且温室是由草组成的，所以和阳光可以有直接的接触，所以阳
光可以到达、接触到蔬菜，填 reach。
7. 本题考察介词，通过文意，可以得出阳光是通过草接触到了蔬菜，所以填 through。
8. 本题考察固定词组搭配及语态，通过文意可得知风和冷空气无法进入温室，又有介词 from，即风课冷
空气被停止进入，所以填 stopped。
9. 本题不难，既然是在温室里生长，而且风和冷空气无法进入，所以里面的空气一定很温暖，填 warm。
10. 本题考察的被动语态的结构。are built 已经是被动语态，那么变成现在进行时的被动语态只要填 being

即可。

Traveling to all countries of the world gets easier and easier, but how well do we know

1. 本题的逻辑词在于 and，既然是表示并列，表示所填词和 know 应该属于一个性质，因此不难想到

understand。
2. 提示在于空 3 后的 business，
既然是 business，和空 2 能相对应的就是 hold a meeting，因此填 meeting。
3. 本题考察的是词组搭配。文章提出了“如果你举办一次会议，你想你的伙伴什么时候到？”的问题，动词
不定式 to come 提示了应该用 expect，表示期待某人做某事。
4. 本题不难，解释为到达，填 arrive。
5. 本题不难，通过后文 was widely used in the world 可以推测出是语言，所以填 language。
6.通过文意得意得知很快他们就发现他们错了，唯一要注意的就是这里用的是过去时，所以填 found。
7. 本题不难，考察固定词组搭配，for example。
8. 本题的提示是前句中的 happy to have，英国人喜欢这个方式，那么相对的，日本人就不太喜欢吃饭的

时候工作，所以填 prefer，表示偏向于。
9. 本题考察词组搭配，互相为 each other。
10. 本题的提示在后句的 eat first and talk afterwards，说明空 10 填的是表示时间顺序的词，那么和 talk

2. 本题考察固定词组搭配，为 a lot of。
3. 本题考察固定词组搭配，与某人谈话的词组是 talk with sb.，故填 with。
4. 本题的关键在后句的 will be able to，既然后句中用了将来时的表达，说明空 4 的时间状语应该是表示

将来时，所以填 more，in a few more years 指“在以后的更多年里”。
5. 本题考察动词搭配，宾语是 a car，马上想到驾驶车辆，填 drive。
6. 本题难度不大，文章在说明机器人以后可以驾驶的交通工具，所以填 plane。
7. 本题考察情态动词的用法，根据文意“在医院、饭店或商店，我们可能会看到一个机器人在工作”，表示
可能，用 may。
8. 本句是前文的延伸，既然机器人可以做很多事情，那么人们自己就不再需要去做饭或购物，所以填 not。
9. 本题考察文章的理解。我们发出命令之后，
机器人就能为我们打扫家务。所以空 9 是一个修饰 housework
的词，通过文意得知，机器人可以做很多事情，所以它们能帮人完成所有的家务，填 all。
10. 本题不难，一个机器人可以成为我们的好朋友，填 friend。

2. 通过文意，本空应该表示出发，故填 started，词组 start out 表示出发。
3. 本题考察宾语从句的引导词，不知道哪一条路走，所以用 which 引导。
4. 本题为理解题。通过理解，第一个路人给作者指路，强调不能走错，所以填 miss。
5. 本题的提示在于 blocks（街区），动词就是走过，所以填 walked。
6. 本题的关键在于转折连词 but，说明 but 后为转折说明，尽管作者是按照路人指的路走的，但是并没有

找到博物馆，所以填 wasn't。
7. 本题的提示词同样是转折连词 but，尽管第二个路人也是这样指路的，作者也是这样走的，但是第二次
还是没有找到，所以填 again。
8. 通过后文可以得知，第三个人并不是作者去问他路，而是他来向作者问路，所以是某个人过来问路，填
someone 或者 somebody。
9. 本空是多选题，文章中并没有直接的线索说明他要去什么地方，所以只要 b 打头表示公共地点的词都
可以，bus-stop/bookstore/bar 都可以。

人指路，所以他很快就回答了他，填 quickly。

Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to

6.diet 7.matter 8.able 9.share 10.sadness
【解析】本文主要说明了如何管理压力、释放压力的方式。

2. 本题不难，老师想出了很多方法去帮助学生，填 ways。
3. 本题不难，去拜访老师，填 visit。
4. 本题不难，应该是缓解压力的方法，所以要引出第一个方法，而且与后文的 secondly 对应，填 firstly（firstly，

secondly 等副词形式比 first 更正式、合适）。
5. 本题要修饰名词 sleep，不难想到应该要有足够的睡眠，所以填 enough。
6. 本题稍难，保持健康除了要有足够的睡眠之外还要有健康的饮食，填 diet。
7. 本题考察固定句型搭配，解释为没有关系，填 matter。
8. 固定词组搭配，当你有问题的时候应该要和老师、父母交谈，这里“应该”用 be able to 表示，因此填 able。
9. 本题的动词关键在于后文的 with，出现了快乐、和好朋友，不难想到填的是“分享”，share。
10. 本题有些难，虽然由 and 连接，但不难发现前后连接的并非表示同一个意思，所以空 10 并不表示相似

于 happiness 的词，那么就填反义词与之对应，表示不管快乐或是悲伤都要与他们分享来释放压力，所
以填 sadness。

buildings. They try to c 3 up the outside of the tower as fast as possible. They carry
water hoses up to the fire. They practise carrying imaginable victims down f 4 high
ladders.
There are reasons that firefighters are called for help. Maybe a building or a forest is
o 5 fire. A train accident happens and people are t 6 inside. Still, people need to be
rescued from floods or an earthquake. Whenever there is an emergency situation, they
can be seen f 7 there.

Passage 54 (2011 年中考真题）

At one time, making a film was an expensive activity only for a small group of people
and film companies. Not only were the tools and machines expensive but the cost of film
was also far greater than most people could afford. However, modern technology has
c 1 all that.
New technology has really opened up the world of film-making for film fans. Now a
camera does not cost m 2 and most young people are certainly able to pay for it. So
all you need is to get one for yourself. With that, you may then start your own
film-making.
However, film-making is t 3 work. You probably need many other people to help
you. For example, the p 4 of actors and actresses is very important in your film. Of
course, these actors and actresses may be your schoolmates, friends or family members.
You don′t even need to pay them a cent while they are glad to be part of your job.
B 5 , you need to make up a story. Can you write your own one? If you have good
imagination, you can create an attractive story e 6 . Many world-famous film makers

Passage 56（2010 年中考真题）

A survey has been published which shows that British people don’t like their neighbors very
much. 80% of the people who took part in the survey feel that their neighbors h__92__ pay
attention to others’ feelings. 25% don’t talk to the people who live next door and 10% don’t
even know their names. In fact, one million people in Britain would like to m___93__
because they don’t get along well with their neighbors.
According to the survey, the b___94__ problem is noise. Many of the complaints about
noise came from people who live in flats and old houses. These places often have thin walls
which can’t s__95__ the noise from next door.
The other main problems are disagreements ( 不和 ) about car parking spaces, and old people
complaining about the young. Some disagreements last a l__96__ time. In one case, people
who live in the same building haven’t talked to each other for fifteen years. Sometimes the
disagreements end in violence. In one of the worst cases, a man killed a neighbor because he
kept parking in “his places”.
Another survey shows that 90% of the neighbors never share a meal, 80% have never had a
drink t__97___ and 20% have never even spoken. However, when neighbors become each
other’s f__98___, they are often ready to offer help, as we can see in many parts of the
world.
One solution to such problems is to talk about them with a professional organization and, if
necessary, to sign a written agreement. Now people can get this service in more and more
towns.
【答案与解析】本文主要叙述了英国居民间的关系问题，动词用一般现在时。
92. 本文的首句就提出了观：British people don’t like their neighbors very much，所以一切叙述都要和“不喜

欢”相吻合。第一句如果空不看，解释的是邻居很注意相互的感情，那么就和不喜欢的概念相违背，所以
填表示否定的副词改变整句话的意思，填hardly。
93. 空后的because引导了原因状语从句，他们和邻居相处地不好，所以他们会做出某个决定，那么不难想
到搬家，填move。
94. 本空的提示在后文的most of the complaints，解释为大多数的抱怨，说明这是一个大问题，而且前面有
the，说明填最高级biggest。

96. 本题不难，考察固定搭配，填long。
97. 本题的提示是never和share，share解释为分享，就是大家一起享用，所以这里填together。
98. 本题的提示是however，表示了转折，前面说的是关系不好，这里开始就是关系很好，变成了相互的朋
友，填friends。

1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. ________ 6. ________ 7. ________
1. reading 【解析】“我”喜欢读《哈利•波特》这套书，读用read，因为前面有like，所以本空应该填reading。

ago，所以此处应用listen的过去式：listened。
3. born 【解析】你生于英格兰而现在生活在苏格兰。此处be born in，固定搭配：在…出生。
4. children 【解析】前面出现husband，丈夫，本空应该和前面的husband对应，都是家人，以c开头，则应

置，此处填place，也可以从后文得到印证。

些家务，帮助，help。但是此处设计一个固定搭配，be busy doing，所以应该用helping。

5. dinner 【解析】本题十分简单，后面有原词出现，after dinner
6. leave 【解析】还是上下文关联，前面说是时间回家了，但是感觉有些难以离开，因为这是难得的一大
家子人聚在一起的时候。
7. whole 【解析】前面有提到aunts，uncles，cousins等等，再基于对文意的理解，本题应该很容易得出，
whole family，整个家族。
139
Passage 88
Life gets noisier every day and very f__1__people can be free from noise of some kind or
another. W__2__ you live in the center of a modern city or a village far away --- the chances
that you will be disturbed by planes, cars, radios, etc. are almost everywhere. We seem to be
used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely w__3__ background music while they are
working.
Tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experiences. H__4__, some
people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their ears.
The noise level in some places is far a__5__the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise said that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs
their attention, only a sudden c__6__in the level of noise really affects people’s attention. It
goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example)
may even help people to pay attention.
People are testing ways to make less noise. There are even laws controlling noise. We can’t
r__7__to the “good old days” of peace and quiet. But we can make less noise --- if we shout
loudly enough about it
1． few 【解析】噪音每天都有，几乎无人可以逃得开它。few修饰可数名词表示几乎没有。
2． Whether 【解析】文意是不管你住在城市还是遥远乡村，噪音都无处不在。Whether，不管，不论。
3． without 【解析】本题的关键是联系上下文，本题前面一句说道我们似乎也习惯了有噪音，那后面应
该就是对这一句话的论证，有些人在工作状态下没有背景音乐会觉得很孤单，without。
4． However 【解析】细度本段，前面说太过安静后面不好，后面则说太过大声的音乐也不好，二者呈转
折关系，However。
5． above 【解析】本题的解题关键是level，远远超出平时的安全水平，高于或超出某某水平，用above。

Passage 89
If you do not use your arms and legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start
u__1__ them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many
people do not seem to know that memory works in the s__2__way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his m__3__
in practice by using it. When someone says that his memory is poor, he really means that he
does not give it enough c__4__ to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he
tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think his parents may be b__5__, and f__6__
of us know that it is his own fault. Have you ever f__7__ that some people can not read or
write but usually they have b__8__ memories? This is because they can’t read or write and
they have to remember things. They cannot write t__9__ in a small notebook. They have to
remember days, names, songs, and stories, so their memory is always being e__10__.
So if you want to have a good memory, practice remembering things in a way as other
people do.
141
1. using 【考点】上下文关联
【解析】第一段的前两句话构成对比：如果你不经常使用你的胳膊和腿，你就会变得虚弱；反之如果你又
开始使用它们了，它们就会重新变得强壮。start doing sth.，所以这边我们用using。
2. same 【考点】上下文关联&固定搭配
【解析】前面一句是Everybody knows that，每个人都了解这个道理。后面一句话中注意这个词：yet，然而，
也就是说前后两句成转折关系。然而人们似乎并不知道，记忆（与身体）的运作时一样的。这里有个一
固定搭配：in the same way，以相同的方式。
3. memory 【考点】词语复现
【解析】When someone says that he has a good memory，当有人说他记忆力很好，这说明他是真的通过使
用不断地练习了他的记忆力，一个句子前后讲的是同一件事情，就是记忆力：memory。
4. chance（s）【考点】上下文关联
【解析】如果有人说自己的记忆力差，那一定是因为他并没有给他的记忆力足够多的机会去变强。这里
chance和chances都可以。
5. blamed 【考点】固定搭配
【解析】前面说如果有人说自己胳膊腿虚弱，我们知道他一定是他自己的错。后面的句子注意一个词:But,
也就是说后面的句子较前面的文义发生了转折。如果有人说他记忆力不好，人们就觉得可能是他父母的
错。表明是“…的错”可以用blame这个词，这里我们用被动语态，be blamed。
6. few 【考点】上下文关联
【解析】前面说的是his parents may be blamed,他的父母可能要被责备，和后面that it is own fault，这两句
话的关系也是一个转折，但是我们并没有看到任何表示转折或者否定关系的词，所以这边的单词f__?修
饰了people（可数名词）并且具有否定意义，不难推测出是few，几乎没有。
7. found 【考点】词性分析&上下文关联
【解析】这边我们看到问句的时态Have you ever…是一个现在完成时，后面that引导的是一个从句，这个以
f开头的词是一个动词并且后面可以跟从句的词，我们不难想到find，发现某个现象，事实。又因为前面
是现在完成时，所以此处应该是过去分词的形式found。
8. better 【考点】上下文关联
【解析】本题的解题关键是后面一句This is because they can’t read or write and they have to remember things，
他们不得不去记忆，所以这些人的记忆力应该更好，better。
9. things/them 【考点】上下文关联
【解析】本句对应的是上面一句This is because they can’t read or write and they have to remember things中的
things，所以这边可以直接填things，或者填一个代词them。
10. exercised 【考点】上下文关联
【解析】前面说到They have to remember days, names, songs, and stories,这些都是锻炼记忆力的方式，而下
面一段也说道，如果想要有好的记忆力，practice remembering things in a way as other people do。所以第
十题应该填一个和practice类似的词，以e开头的词中我们不难想到exercise，这里要注意的是被动语态要
使用过去分词形式，exercised。
142
Passage 90（此篇同44）
Advertisements are everywhere! They’re on the r__1__ and TV, in newspapers and
magazines, on buses and buildings. They’re on websites and mobile phones. Companies
give their p__2__ to film stars, pop stars and sports stars to use so that f__3__ will buy them
in order to copy the stars.
Advertisements have become so common that they aren’t w__4__ anymore. We don’t like
advertisements, so we try not to see them. We turn o__5__ the advertisements on computers.
We refuse to watch them on TV, or read them in magazines. We no longer pay attention to
the posters all around us. We don’t copy the stars b__6__ we know they don’t really like the
things they advertised.
This means that advertising companies need a new w__7__ to sell. They can’t make their
products “cool” by advertising. Advertisement aren’t cool, and teenagers buy the things in
advertisements just because the advertisements say they are fashionable. The l__8__ way to
advertise is not to advertise.
I__9__ of using stars, companies are using teenagers. They pay them to tell their friends
about new products. Teenagers don’t want to dress like everyone else and buy the things
that everyone else has. They want to look d__10__ and create their own style. Teenagers
don’t think it’s cool to copy the stars or buy things they’ve seen in advertisements.
143
1. radio 【考点】逻辑关系
【解析】这是一道考逻辑关系的题目，有一个很明显的逻辑词：and，表并列，所以本题和后面的TV应该
相对应，那一定就是radio了，广播和电视。
2. products 【考点】词义复现
【解析】根据文意，公司给电影演员，当红明星们用的应该是自己的产品。而第三段第二行They can’t make
their products “cool” by advertising直接出现原词:products，词义复现。
3. fans 【考点】上下文关联&逻辑关系
【解析】明星或体育明星使用产品最能吸引到什么人去模仿？一个f开头的名词，又和明星有关系的，我们
可以很容易推断出是粉丝fans。
4. working 【考点】逻辑关系
【解析】解本题的关键就是逻辑词so…that…如此…以至于…,文中说的是广告变得如此寻常以至于他们不
再…..，一个w开头的词，因为已经有否定词aren’t，所以此处应该是一个褒义词，可以想到“起作用”这个
词：work，又因为前面的aren’t，所以填working。
5. off 【考点】上下文关联
【解析】前面一句so we try not to see them.说的是我们尽量不看广告，所以我们应该如何电脑上的广告，
一定是关掉广告，这边我们需要的是一个介词，表示“关掉，离开”的介词：off。
6. because 【考点】逻辑关系
【解析】We don’t copy the stars我们不模仿明星和we know they don’t really like the things they advertised.我
们知道他们并不是真的喜欢他们做广告的产品之间的关系是因果关系，所以这里要填连词because。六
年级/首字母填空
7. way 【考点】上下文关联
【解析】要做广告的公司需要一个新的w__??去销售呢？整个这一段都在讲，广告并不cool，并引入了一个
新的元素：teenagers，后面都在讲如何利用青少年来推广自己产品，这显然与前面的明星代言相比是换
了一个新的销售方式：way。
8. latest 【考点】上下文关联&词性分析
【解析】解题关键注意定冠词：the，后面讲到利用青少年做广告是如何新潮时尚，显然：最流行最新的做
广告方式就是不去广告。the后面用的是最高级：latest。
9. Instead 【考点】逻辑关系
【解析】using stars，利用明星，与后面的using teenagers，利用青少年，这两者显然是成一个转折关系，
转折连词以I打头并且和of连用的就是instead，instead of，代替。
10. different 【考点】上下文关联

【解析】前面一句讲到青少年不想和别人穿一样的东西，本空后面由and连接的是create their own style，
也就是说明他们想要看起来与众不同，不一样：different。
144
Passage 91
When Martin was a small boy, he lived in the little town of Holtham. Then he thought the
town was a big p__1__. Well, Martin went back to Holtham last week. “It’s a small town!”
he thought.
Holtham has changed little during the p__2__ forty years. B__3__ Martin has changed a lot.
He has g__4__ into a man. He is now in m__5__ life. His thoughts are a man’s thoughts,
and he sees things t__6__ a m__7__ eyes.
Martin stayed in Holthamfor five years. He walked from street t__8__ street. He could see
no friends. Was Holtham, then, a town of strangers? No, Martin suddenly u__9__ it all.
Only he h__10__ was a stranger in the town.
1. place【解析】首先可以确定这里需要的是一个以p开头的名词，原来的乡镇应该是一个大的什么？我们
可以推测出，是地方：place。
2. past【解析】首先根据时态：现在完成时，可以确定事情发生的过去，而以p开头修饰forty years的，我
们不难想到是past，during the past forty years，在过去的四十年中。
3. But【解析】看前后两句的逻辑关系。前面讲到在过去的四十年中Holtham几乎没什么变化，后面讲的是
Martin has changed a lot，马丁变了许多，那这两者之间是呈一个转折关系，所以此处填转折连词But。
4. grown【解析】这里从时态着手，本句是一个现在完成时，所以这个以g开头的单词应该是一个动词的过
去式，而后面又有into a man,这里有个固定搭配就是grow into，所以本题填grown。
5. middle【解析】首先可以判断出这里需要一个形容词，根据上问的past forty years可以推断出Martin可能
也是四十岁左右，应该属人到中年，in his middle life。
6. through【解析】这里看到后面有个eyes，既然是看事情，那应该是通过一个怎样的眼睛或视角：through。
7. man’s【解析】联系上文说到He has grown into a man,所以看问题应该是通过一个男人的视角，这里要特
别注意所有格形式：man’s.
8. to【解析】这里有一个固定搭配，from…to…，从…到…
9. understood【解析】首先这里需要一个动词，而且要注意是一个动词的过去形式。前面有一个提示词是
suddenly，后文是他领悟出的内容，所以此处为understood。
10. himself【解析】这里不考虑本题的空整个句子也是成立的，所以这个h开头的单词知识对整个句子起到
修饰或者强调的作用，可以想到紧跟着he后面的是一个反身代词himself，只有他自己变成了这个镇子的
陌生人！
145
Passage 92
Earthquakes are one of the most terrible kinds of natural disasters. We cannot p__1__ them,
and we don’t know when they will happen. This makes earthquakes very d__2__. Recently,

我们不能怎么样呢？以p开头的动词，我们不难推测出，是防止，prevent。
2．dangerous【解析】上文讲到We cannot prevent them ,and we don’t know when they will happen,我们既不
能预防地震，又不知道地震什么时候发生，这些事情，都让地震显得…,这里根据词性可以判断出是一个

dangerous。
3．causes【解析】这里我们需要的是一个动词而且是一个动词的三单形式，联系后文，全部都在讲地震是
如何发生的，所以短首的句子一定是在问，是什么引发了地震：causes。

球各地.
6．like【解析】本题前面在讲They fit together l__?__ a big puzzle,后面解释了a big puzzle，that is，…,所以前
面说的应该是它们在一起就像一个谜团，like。
7．meet【解析】这里讲的地震的发生，是当两个板块怎样之后，地球的部分上下震颤，像海浪一样。根
据文意，应该是两个版块相撞，这里的表达是meet against，所以本题填meet。
8．safe【解析】前面we don’t know the exact time and the place that an earthquake will happen,我们不知道地
震发生的具体时间及地点，这里出现了一个很关键的连接词：but，也就是前后是转折的意思，后面说的

medicines。
4. overweight/（obesity）【考点】词义复现&上下文关联
【解析】全篇都在讲减肥的事情，人们想减肥，想苗条，不想肥胖。在这个基调上我们看全文第四段的第

此处应该是 sign language，手语。
4. reach【考点】上下文关联
【解析】前文说到食物被挂得很高 a room with food hanging from the top，本段的后半部分都是在讲她如
何想办法够到食物，那前面可以推测出，一定是食物太高以至于她够不到，这边注意一个 too…to…句
型，太…以至于不能…,不定式后面要跟动词原形，reach。
5. knocked【考点】文义理解&固定搭配
【解析】Washoe 想了一系列办法都是为了能够到食物，她先是搬了一个箱子踩在上面，但是不行，不够
高。于是，她去拿了一根长棍子，用这个棍子把高处的食物给敲下来。敲下来有一个固定搭配就是 knock
down。
6. lives【考点】上下文关联
【解析】整个这一段讲得都是 Washoe 如何生活的，住在一个装满家具的房子里，回家之后和娃娃玩，睡
觉之前还看电视。所以第六题填的应该是她像人类一样生活，she lives like a human，注意三单变化。

1. playing【考点】上下文关联&固定搭配
【解析】首先弹钢琴是 play the piano，看到后面的 the piano 前面填出 play 应该问题不大，但是这里要

边我们用一个进行时，playing。
2. followed【考点】上下文关联&动词搭配
【解析】首先确定出第二题要填的是一个动词，并且应该是一个动词的过去式。以 f 开头的动词，宾语是
the music，可以联想到是跟着音乐，随着音乐走到了一个小房子里。所以这里填 followed。
3. Through【考点】逻辑关系&介词搭配
【解析】前面是 T__?__ the window，后面 he saw a girl playing the piano…，那窗户和他看见女孩正在弹琴
是什么关系呢？应该是透过窗户，他看见一个女孩正在弹琴。这里我们填一个介词，透过 Through。（一
定注意拼写，有的同学好不容易想到了 Through 这个词，却因不会拼写或者拼写错误而失分，十分可惜！）
4. but【考点】逻辑关系之逻辑词
【解析】第四题前后两句话 who was blind，眼睛瞎了，与后面 liked music very much 的逻辑关系，不难看
出是转折。虽然眼睛瞎了，但是她还是十分热爱音乐，所以本题填 but。
5. moved【考点】上下文关联
【解析】本题并没有出现十分明显的答题依据，所以考查的是考生对文章大意及情感走向的整体把握。听
完前面小女孩的事迹，后面还有依据比较关键的 He said nothing，他什么也没说，这些都能让我们合理
推测出，他很受感动。正好本题前面是一个 be 动词 was，所以还是可以填出 moved。（注意是过去分
词形式哦，同学们千万不要“得意忘形”！）
6. lost【考点】固定搭配
【解析】贝多芬坐下来弹了一首曲子，He played so wonderfully，他弹得太好了以至于…,这里有一个固定
搭配就是 lose oneself in…陶醉于某事（某物），同样的注意时态，lost。
7. before【考点】逻辑关系&语法结构
【解析】根据上下文的逻辑关系，在他们让贝多芬多弹一首曲子之前，贝多芬就走了，所以这里填 before。
如果这里逻辑关系不清楚，还可以从语法结构下手看这道题：文中出现两个时态，过去完成时had left以及
一般过去时had time（注意这里的had是have的过去式！），我们说过去完成时一定要强调出时间的先后，
先发生的动作用过完，后发生的动作用一过，那强调时间先后的标志词 before，很容易被我们想到！
8. what【考点】语法结构
【解析】这边主要考察同学们的基本功了。writing down 后面的一整个句子都是宾语，也就是这里缺的是
一个宾语从句的引导词----what。

眼睛。可以推测，他愿意捐献的应该是任何状态良好的九年级/首字母填空（器官），所以这边填 whatever。
7. donated【考点】词义复现
【解析】文中上一段出现“he wanted to donate (whatever) was in good condition”，而后文紧接着说父亲去
世，我们就应该是捐献了他的眼睛：donate，这边注意因为是发生在过去，所以要用过去式：donated。
8. pride【考点】词义复现
【解析】本段第二行写到女儿说的话“I’m so proud of you of what you did for Grandpa.”这里可以看出女
儿对外公捐献眼角膜的行为时感到十分骄傲的，所以后面闪烁在她眼里的，就是骄傲：pride。（这里要
注意形容词和名词的转换）

Passage 101
It was getting dark. Some children and two Canadian women were still s__1__ on the
ice near a big hotel. They were having a good time.
Suddenly the ice b__2__. One of the boys fell into the water. The children shouted,
“Help! Help!” They didn’t know w__3__ to do. The two Canadian friends heard that and
skated over to get the boy out of the water.
The ice was t__4__. The two Canadians fell into the water, too. But they tried their
best to reach the little boy. They knew they must be q__5__. If they didn’t push him up onto
the ice, he would soon die.
Many people ran over to h__6__. Some of them had ropes and poles. A young man
jumped into the water to help.
The boy and the two Canadian women were out of water at last. One of the women
didn’t feel well. She was sent to the hospital at o__7__. But she felt very happy because the
boy was safe.
1. skating【解析】在冰上的活动，联想到溜冰，这里 were 提示用过去进行时，表示当时正在发生的

动作，所以是 skating。
2. broke【解析】根据后文 One of the boy fell into the water，可以猜出冰破裂了：break。因为事
情发生在过去，所以是 broke。
3. what【解析】该句也可以说成 They didn’t know what they could do.他们不知道能做些什么。
4. thin【解析】这边想说的是冰很薄，所以前来营救的人也掉进水里了。thin 有薄的意思。
5. quick【解析】注意前面是 be 动词，所以这里应该填的是一个形容词。根据文意，我们可以推测
出，他们必须要快：quick。
6. help【解析】这里要填的是一个动词，后面还讲到 A young man jumped into the water to help,
可以说本题有词义复现：help。
7. once【解析】固定搭配：at once 立刻，马上的意思。

Passage 102
The computer is fast, and never makes m__1__ while people are too slow and f__2__
of mistakes. That’s w__3__ people often say when they talk about computers. For over a
quarter of a century, engineers have been m__4__ better and better computers. Now a
computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is w__5__ used in factories,
hospitals and banks. A computer can report, decide and control in almost every f__6__.
Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer “t__7__” like a man.
With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people, play
chess, recognize( 识别 ) voices, translate language and s__8__ on. Perhaps computers will
one day really think and feel. Do you think that people will be a__9__ when they find that
the computer is too c__10__ to listen to and serve(为…服务) the people?
1. mistakes【解析】make mistakes,犯错误。这里要讲的是电脑速度快，而且从不犯错。
2. full【解析】固定搭配 be full of,充满。这里将电脑和人做了对比，电脑从不犯错，而人却错误百出。
3. what【解析】根据文意，“那是人们在谈论电脑的时候经常说的东西”，所以这里填 what。千万不要
经验主义，看到 That’s 就填了 why！
4. making【解析】考查的是时态：现在完成进行时。现在完成进行时的结构就是 have/has been doing sth.
5. widely【解析】首先这里的词是修饰 used，所以一定是一个副词。根据文意我们不难发现，电脑是被广
泛应用在各个领域：widely。
6. field【解析】这里的 field 是“领域”的意思。
7. think【解析】根据后文 With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people,
play chess, recognize voices…，以上这些讲的都是电脑像人一样思考，做事。所以本题填 think。
8. so【解析】固定搭配：and so on,等等。
9. afraid【解析】害怕，恐惧，担心，常用词组：be afraid of sth./doing sth.表示害怕某事或者害怕做某事。
10. clever【解析】太聪明了而不能听从于人，服务于人。同义词有 smart，bright，intelligent。
163
Some people believe that some star signs get along better with each other than other
star signs.
P__1__ we should first start with those star signs that are incompatible( 合不来的 ).
Aries and Leo are not a good match. Both of them are leaders. Aries is energetic and is not
c__2__ with Leo because Leo is strong and confident. Also, Pisces and Taurus are not a
good p__3__. Taurus is practical and will not be patient enough to wait for Pisces to stop
dreaming.
Perhaps the best c__4__ of friend for Taurus is Capricorn. Taurus can be stubborn and
Capricorn is patient and will be prepared to wait for Taurus to change his or her mind. Aries
should get to know Pisces. Aries is a__5__ but Pisces is gentle and easygoing. They are a
good match. Leo can be matched well with Libra. Leo likes to give gifts and Libra likes
beautiful things.
The p__6__ pair are Libra and Scorpio. Libra does not like to argue and loves peace.
Libra will never ask Scorpio about his or her secrets. In addition, Libra will be quite happy
to watch Scorpio doing things. Sagittarius and Gemini are also a perfect match. Sagittarius
loves to travel and Gemini loves to d__7__ new things.Sagittarius has a good sense of
humor and will enjoy listening to Gemini talk.
Virgo and Aquarius are a good match too. Sometimes, however, there can be problems
in their r__8__. Aquarius has many friends but Virgo worries a lot about meeting a lot of
people.
164
1. Perhaps【考点】词义复现
【解析】首先确定词性，这里需要的是一个副词。通读全文之后可以发现第三段的第一句话：Perhaps the best
choice of friend for Taurus is Capricorn.前后两段相对应，可以推测出本题是 Perhaps。
2. compatible【考点】上下文关联
【解析】本段第一句话就已表示要从合不来的星座开始讲（star signs that are incompatible），然后就开始
讲 Aries（白羊座）和 Leo（狮子座），后面举的事例继续在强调二人合不来，Aries is not compatible with
Leo，本题也算是词义复现。
3. pair【考点】语义重复
【解析】首先 Pisces（双鱼）和 Taurus（金牛）他们是双数，而这边说的是 They are not a good p__?__,
在第三段的倒数第二行讲到白羊和双鱼时，说 They are not a good match。所以这边我们需要的词应该和
match（匹配的一对）意思相近，可以想到是 pair。而且第四段也出现 The (perfect) pair are Libra and
Scorpio.
4. choice【考点】上下文关联
【解析】首先可以判断出这里以c开头的单词是一个名词，根据后面的文义Taurus（金牛）和 Capricorn（摩
羯）很合得来的，他们是朋友。所以这句话所想要表达的意思其实就是：金牛座最佳的朋友人选就是摩
羯：choice。
5. active【考点】逻辑判断
【解析】根据逻辑词 but，可以判断出本空应该是一个和 gentle，easygoing 词性相同的形容词，而且意
思不同。以 a 开头的形容词，表示不温柔，没那么好相处的，不难猜出是 active，活跃的。
6. perfect【考点】上下文关联&词义复现
【解析】根据文意，Libra will never ask Scorpio about his or her secrets. In addition, Libra will be quite happy to
watch Scorpio doing things.天秤不会问天蝎他/她的那些秘密，也乐意看天蝎做事情。而后面 Sagittarius
（射手）and Gemini（双子）are also a perfect match.从这里可以更加肯定，本题填 perfect。
7. discover【考点】上下文关联
【解析】前面讲到射手和双子也是完美组合，那我们可以合理推测他们一定是志趣相投的。Sagittarius loves
to travel 射手喜欢旅行，and Gemini loves to d__?__ new things.首先可以确定本空填一个动词原形，不难
推断出这边要填的是 discover，而双子喜欢探索新鲜事物。
8. relationship【考点】上下文关联&逻辑判断
【解析】前面讲到 Virgo（处女座）and Aquarius（水瓶座）are a good match，他们也是很好的组合。后面
话锋一转，however，前后的句意一定是呈转折关系的。There can be problems in their r__?__,首先可以确
定这是一个名词，问题出在他们的什么中呢？不难想到是关系：relationship。
165
Passage 104
There was an old man who loved money very much. He n__1__ gave anything to
anybody. After some years he became r__2__.
One day he was walking near the river with his friends when he fell into the river. His
friends ran to help him. One of them held out his hand and cried, ”Give me your hand, and I
‟ ll p__3__ you out!”The rich m__4__ head went down the water and then came u__5__
again, but he did not g__6__ his hand to his friend. Again another of his friends tried, but
again the s__7__ thing happened.
Then a__8__ friend, Nasreddin, said, “Take my hand and I ‟ ll pull you out!” The rich
man took his hand and Nasreddin pulled him out of the water.
“You don‟t know your friend very w__9__.” Nasreddin said to the others. “When you
say ‟Give!‟ to him, he d__10__ nothing, but when you say „Take!‟, he always takes.”
1. never【解析】看到 anything 和 anybody，不难想到这里 n 开头的词可能是一个否定意义的词：never。

这个人给爱钱，所以他从来不给任何人任何东西。
2. rich【解析】如此爱钱又吝啬的人，多年之后我们可以推测，是变得富有了：rich。
3. pull【解析】这里有一个固定搭配：pull sb. out, 把…拉出来。
4. man’s【解析】因为 head，头，是这个富男人的，所以这里要注意所有格，应该是 man’s。
5. up【解析】本题根据上下文可以推断出。他的头应该是在水中上上下下。前面有 down，这里填 up。
6.give【解析】前面施救的人跟他讲的就是“Give me your hand”，这个富男人没有这样做，也就是 he did
not give his hand to his friend。
7. same【解析】另一个朋友来试着救他，看到有个 but，所以应该是同样的事情发生了，the same thing
happened。
8. another【解析】Nasreddin 是另一个人了，所以这里填 another friend。
9. well【解析】这里有一个固定搭配：know sb. well, 很了解某人。
10. does【解析】注意时态，后面是 takes，所以这里填的应该是 does。
166
Stress is the feeling that you get when you’re really worried about something. This is the
kind of worry that t__1__ you for hours, or even days. It makes you feel blue, scared or
angry. You may find it h__2__ to eat and sleep, or you might eat and sleep much more than
usual.
Too much stress is bad for you. Stressing out can lead to s__3__ problems like heart
illness. But a moderate amount of stress keeps your body and mind alert and can make your
p__4__ better, like when you are doing a presentation to your class or running to the
finishing line.
But, if you are seriously stressed out, look at these quick and easy ways to relax. Firstly,
you can go for a run, play tennis or ride your bike for a while because e__5__ produces
more beta-endor-phin(B- 内啡呔 ). Secondly, having a good rest is very important. You
should try to get at l__6__ seven hours of sleep every night. Thirdly, eating a healthy,
b__7__ diet that includes all the food groups will help. Also, you can talk to the people you
trust. Keeping your feelings inside may make the situation worse w__8__ talking to a
person you trust may make you feel better. They may be able to give you advice and help
you solve your problem.
1. troubles 根据后文 It makes you feel blue，scared or angry 它让你感到忧郁、恐惧与生气，可以判断，这

种担忧总是困扰着你几小时甚至几天，这里注意不要忘了变第三人称单数：troubles。（多少同学“得意
忘形”啦？）
2. hard 文章一直讲的都是压力带给人们的消极影响，所以这边你可能会发现你的吃饭和睡觉都变得很困难：
hard
3. serious【考点】上下文关联【解析】Stressing out can lead to s__?__ problems like heart illness，过度紧张
可能会导致 s__?__疾病，比如说心脏病。首先可以确定这里我们需要的是一个形容词来修饰 problems，
而心脏疾病根据常理，我们可以推断出是严重的病：serious。
4. performance 上下文关联【解析】后面 like when you are doing a presentation to your class or running to the
finishing line,这两件事都是再描述前面的这个单词，我们可以总结出这些都是人的表现：performance。
5. exercise 上下文关联，前文 go for a run，play tennis or ride your bike，这三项都可以归类为运动：exercise。
6. least 文意理解&固定搭配【解析】首先这里面的一个固定搭配是 at least，至少。上文讲到 having a good
rest is very important，好的休息是十分重要的，那后文对应的应该就是每晚至少睡七个小时：at least。
7. balanced【考点】逻辑判断【解析】首先我们可以判断这个以 b 开头的单词和 healthy 一样是一个形容
词，并且在修饰 diet 上意思相近。饮食我们除了说它健康还会说它均衡：balanced。
8. while【考点】逻辑判断【解析】该词前面讲 keeping your feelings inside may make the situation worse，
而后面说 talking to a person you trust may make you feel better，前后两者关系呈转折，中间显然是缺了
一个转折连词。以 w 开头的转折连词，不难想到 while。
167
It’s never easy to admit you are wrong. We all need to know the art of a__1__. Think
how often you’ve done wrong. Then count how many times you’ve e__2__ clearly you
were sorry. You can’t go to bed with an easy mind if you do nothing about it.
My friend, a doctor, Mr Lied, told me about a man who came to him with different signs:
headaches, heart trouble and insomnia. After some careful e__3__, Mr Lied found nothing
wrong with him and said, “If you don’t tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” The
man admitted he was c__4__ his brother of his inheritance. Then and there the clever doctor
let the man write to his brother and r__5__ his money. As soon as the letter was put into the
post box, the man suddenly cried. “Thank you,” he said to the doctor, “I think I’ve got
well.”
An apology can not only save a b__6__ relationship but also make it stronger. If you can
think of someone who should be g__7__ an apology from you, do something about it right
now.
1. apology【考点】文意理解&词意复现【解析】首句 It’s never easy to admit you are wrong 就讲到，承认

自己错了从来都不是一件容易的事情。所以我们要学习 a__?__的艺术，大概可以想到是道歉：apology。
而读到文中最后一段话的时候我们可以十分确定，这里就是填apology。
2. expressed【考点】语意重复【解析】首先本句时态是现在完成时，这里需要的是一个动词的过去分词。
e__?__ clearly you were sorry 其实就是 apology 的另一种解释，那此处填的词应该就是表达：expressed。
清楚地表达出你错了=道歉。
3. exams上下文关联【解析】首先可以确定这里填的应该是一个名词，而且根据前面的 some 可以确定这
里需要的是一个名词复数。医生在 e__?__之后发现这个男的根本没病呢，不难想到就是检查之后:exams.
4. cheating【考点】逻辑判断【解析】首先根据 was 以及整句话可以确定出这里我们需要的是一个动词的
ing形式。inheritance 是遗产的意思，这个男人应该是欺骗了他哥哥的遗产：cheating。
5. return【考点】上下文关联【解析】因为之前是骗了哥哥的钱，所以医生让他给哥哥写信，应该就是还
钱，这里注意 return 的时态和前面的 write 保持一致，所以不要写成 returned。
6. broken【考点】逻辑判断【解析】根据这里的逻辑关系词 but，以及后面的内容 make it stronger，可以
知道前面修饰 relationship 的词应该具有消极的意义，形容关系不好的，可以用broken，破裂的。
7. given【考点】上下文关联【解析】这里要注意存在一个被动语态，你给别人道歉是 give apology to sb，
变成被动应该就是 sb. be given apology from you.
168
Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their
children. And they must have realized how d__1__ it is to write a good children’s book.
Either the author has aimed too high, so that children can’t f__2__ what in his(or more often,
her) story, or the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are neither very difficult nor very simple, and can s__3__ the
child who hears the story and the adult who reads it. U__4__, there are in fact few books
like this, so the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not easy to solve. This may be
why many of the books r__5__ as works of literature were in fact written for grown-ups.
Alice in the Wonderland is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often are not interested in literature. Just leave a child in
a bookstore or a library and he will more w__6__ choose the books written in an
unimaginative way, or have a book at the most children’s comics, full of the stories and
jokes which are the rejections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop liking to brainwash children into accepting our t__7__
in literature. After all, children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect
that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise over the
bedtime story
1. difficult【解析】下面讲到：目标定得太高可能孩子读不懂，还有一种情况就是故事看起来特别像是给读
故事的人写的。这两点都说明了，写一本好的给孩子的书是十分困难的：difficult。
2. follow【解析】目标定得太高孩子一定就无法读懂了，这里 follow 有跟得上，理解懂得的意思。
3. satisfy【解析】首先确定这里要填的是一个及物动词，而且应该是原型。前面讲到好的故事书既不过难
也不过简，让孩子和大人都满意：satisfy。这边有关 satisfy 的用法值得一记：satisfy sb.使某人满意。
4. Unfortunately/Unluckily【考点】上下文关联【解析】根据后文 there are in fact few books like this，几乎
没有几本书是这样的，前面 u 开头的词修饰这一整句话，不难想到是 Unfortunately，或者是 Unluckily。
5. regarded【考点】固定搭配【解析】be regarded as,被认为，被认作。
6. willingly【解析】首先本空修饰 choose，是一个副词。后面讲到如果放孩子一个人在书店或者图书馆，
他选择什么书：连环画，充满故事与笑话的。也就是说，这类的书，是孩子所愿意选择的，所以是 willingly。
7. taste【考点】语意重复【解析】整篇文章的最后两段都在讲家长和孩子在读故事方面的品味是不同的，
这边呼吁家长不能以洗脑 brainwash 的方式，让孩子接受我们对文学的品味：taste。
169
Passage 108

city from west to east. So the city has two p__2__, the South and the North. In the North are
important buildings, shops, big parks and interesting places.

arrive there on foot.

1.through【解析】河流穿过城市，不是平面上而是空间上，所以用介词 through。
2. parts【解析】根据文意城市应该是被河流分成了两个部分，parts，注意单复数。
3. weather【解析】看到后面说 In winter it is not very cold and in summer it is not very hot,这里的冷和热讲的
都是天气，weather。
4. true【解析】前面说到 People say that London is a foggy city and it often rains,后面整个一段都是在讲一次
大雾之后，所以伦敦市多雾的城市，这个说法是正确的，It is true.

6. lights【解析】雾太大，手在脸前都看不到，小汽车和公车只能开着灯走，注意复数，lights。

People in community haveslowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because
people simply aren’ttaking the time to say a simple “hello.” After considering this
phenomenon, Idecided I was going to c__1__ the way I was doing things.
My o__2__ came one morningwhen I was in the community library. I passed by a girl
who dropped her bookout of her locker. Thinking like most that someone else would help
her pickthem up, I continued my way. H__3__, when I had to go back because I
stupidlyforgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. Noone
had stopped to help her.
“OK,” I thought to myself,“this is w__4__ I should have changed.”
My best chance came a fewdays later when I saw a man sitting by himself waiting for
the library to open,so I sat down next to him and began a c__5__. It was difficult to get
started,and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every respect from my new friend hada
tone of doubt in it. And who could blame him?
People aren’t used tom__6__ an unprepared chat with a stranger. But a change, no
matter howdesperately it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to makeit
possible. I a__7__ you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and tryto make
someone’s day a little brighter. Together, we can really make societycome closer as a
whole.

173
1.change
【考点】上下文关联+词义复现
【解析】因为前面一直描述的都是不好的现象，比如people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple
“hello.”，而针对这种现象，作者想要做出的应该是一些改变：change。恰巧后文第三段…I should have
changed,也印证了本空应该填 change。
2. opportunity
【考点】词义复现
【解析】本空对应第四段 My best chance came a few days later，本题所在的一句话应该和下面的结构相似，
所以这里填的就是 chance 的近义词：opportunity。
3. However
【考点】逻辑推断
【解析】前面讲的是看到这个女孩的书掉了之后，Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick
them up, I continued my way.我和大多数人想得一样，应该会有别人来帮她，所以我继续走我的路。后面
则是讲因为我忘了自己的书而不得不折回去的时候，我发现没有人帮她。前后两句话所表达的意思不同，
呈转折关系，所以这里我们填一个转折连词：However。
4. what
【考点】句子成分分析
【解析】原句意思是“这就是我需要改变的地方”，所以这里需要一个关系副词：what。
5. chat/conversation
【解析】从后面 every respect，每一句回复，可以看出二人之前是在对话。而且第五段第一句话也讲到
unprepared chat，所以这里不难推测出，应该是填 chat 或者 conversation。
6. making
【考点】固定搭配
【解析】这里有一个固定搭配就是 be used to doing sth，习惯做某事。根据文意，人们还没有习惯与陌生
人做一个无准备的谈话，make a chat with sb 是另一个固定搭配，与…交谈，所以这里确定为动词 make
而且应该是 ing 形式：making。
7. advise
【考点】上下文关联
【解析】后面的话 to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone’s day a little brighter.
等全部都是给人的建议，所以这里应该就是 advise sb. to do sth.建议某人做某事。

In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a
woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory s__1__ course about 20 years ago.
The professor marched into the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with
dried beans, and invited the students to guess how many beans the jar contained. After
listening to shouts of wildly wrong g__2__ the professor smiled a thin, dry smile,
announced the correct answer, and went on saying, ”You have just learned an important
lesson about science. That is: Never t__3__ your own senses. ”
Twenty years later, the woman could guess what the professor had in mind. He saw
himself, perhaps, as i__4__ his students to start an exciting voyage into an unknown world
invisible to the eye, which can be discovered only through scientific methods. But the
seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even hear the invitation. She was just beginning
to understand the world. And she believed that her firsthand experience could be the truth.

1.scientific
【解析】联系上下文，第二段最后一句话 You have just learned an important lesson about science,以及文章
最后一段最后一句话，and I haven’t got near science since.都出现了 science，可以判定这是一堂科学课，
这里注意词性的转换：scientific。
2. guesses
【解析】前文讲到教授 invited the students to guess how many beans the jar contained.邀请学生来猜罐子里
有多少豆子，所以接下来可以判定他是听到了许多错误的猜测然后笑了，这里填的是 guess 的名词复数
形式：guesses。
3. trust
【考点】文意理解+上下文关联
【解析】首先可以确定这里是一个动词，而且在祈使句中应该是动词原型。根据前面的内容，学生先给出
许多错误的猜测，教授笑了，然后公布了正确答案。也就是教授不支持学生在科学方面利用猜测的形式
来学习，这边他告诉同学们的也是，永远不要信任你的感觉：trust。
4. inviting
【解析】本题比较难，因为对应的复现的词距离该题比较远，是在第三段的第四行末尾：But the
seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even hear theinvitation.17 岁的女孩不能接受甚至不能听到这个
邀请，那前面这个空就是在讲教授邀请他的学生开启一场超越视觉的未知世界之旅，invite，因为前面有
介词as，所以这里填 inviting。
5. however
【考点】逻辑判断
【解析】前面讲的是 And she believed that her firsthand experience could be the truth.她相信她的直觉是真的，
和后面 The professor said it was wrong，教授说那是错的，前后呈转折关系，所以这里填转折连词：however。
6. providing
【考点】固定搭配
【解析】这里有一个固定搭配是 provide sb. with sth.,提供给某人某物。这边这句话要讲的就是他（教授）
拿走了她唯一的认知工具（猜测），又没有提供给她任何替代物，又因为前面的形式是 he was taking…，
所以这里填的应该是 providing。
7. dropped
【考点】上下文关联
【解析】根据作者前面的描述以及本段最后一句话 and I haven’t got near science since.从此以后我再也没
有接近过科学，可以判断出，我是把这个可给推掉了，dropped，注意过去式。

3. for【解析】care for 照顾，等同于 look after。
4. support【解析】即可作动词也可作名词，在这里作动词。

enough 的后面，形容词和副词要放在 enough 前面，如 big enough，quickly enough。
6. more【解析】more often 经常，次数更频繁。
7. However【解析】表转折关系的连词。
8. terrible【解析】上文站在褒奖的立场看待动物园，however 这一转折词后面必须跟相反的观点，以t 开
头的贬义词，得出 terrible。

10. kept【解析】下文提到动物几乎不能走动，联想到被囚禁，这里是被动语态。

2. point【解析】首先可以确定这里要填的是一个动词而且和 at 连用。根据后文 No way！You can’t see these
tiny single-called living things without a microscope，你甚至都看不到它们，可以判定前面说的是找出并且

3. harmful【解析】根据后文 They cause diseases in people，plants，and animals，可以推测出它们是有害的，
harmful。
4. humans【解析】首先根据 ear infections，可以判定这是人或动物，h 开头的可以想到 human又因为后
面是 plants，所以这里填复数 humans。
5. helpful【解析】前面讲的是细菌有害的地方，后面出现 however，可以想见前后发生了转折，所以细菌
也可以很有帮助，helpful。

是复数，e 开头的动物想到 elephants。
3. Perhaps/Probably【解析】后面的句子 you have seen them on the television or in a film 结构完整，所以这
里需要的是一个副词，以 P 开头的副词最常见的就是 Perhaps 或者 Probably，也许，大概意思。
4. closely/carefully【解析】首先可以确定这里填的是一个副词，修饰前面的动词 watch，后文讲到你会发
现训练者会给这些动物一些糖或者一片水果作为奖励，那这个细节一定是通过仔细看才看得到的，所以
carefully 和 closely 都行。

第一句是 If the door is very hot，门很热是要通过摸才能体会到的，所以这里是 feel。
2. Try【解析】首先可以确定这里是一个及物动词，门不行的话就试试窗户，try。
3. loudly【解析】可以确定这里是一个副词修饰 shout，因为后面是 to get help，求助的话一定是要大声喊
的，这里填 loudly。
4. tie【解析】这里需要的是一个动词，而且与 to 连用，one end of the “rope”，所以联想到动词“系”：
tie。

个安全的地方：safe place。
7. fighters【解析】call 119 at once 立刻给 119 打电话，告诉 fire f__?__火着在哪里，什么失火了。这里显
然是要填“人”的，消防员：fire fighter。又因为不只一个消防员，所以是复数形式fighters。

可见这里是对孩子们的告诫，w 开头的词想到是 warned，警告。
3. within【解析】作者会马上回来，也就是几分钟之内：within a few minutes。
4. disappeared【解析】作者说她五分钟之内就回到了车子内 I returned to the car in less than five minutes,

让自己停止颤抖，可以知道，我此刻是很恐惧的：fear。

laughter，可见孩子们玩得很兴奋，excited。
181
Passage 118
Which a__1__ do we need most? Dogs? Horses? No! The answer to the question is cows.
Why cows? Cows give us milk. And milk is one of our most important kinds of food.
S__2__ that all the milk cows make in one year were put into bottles. And these bottles were
put side by side. The l__3__ of bottles would go all around the world 400 times. That is a lot
of milk, less than h__4__ of it is used for drinking and cooking. Most of it is used to make
b__5__, cheese, ice cream and many other things. It t__6__ many cows to give us that much
milk, but not as many as it used to. A cow used to give only about 1,500 quarts(夸脱) of
milk a year. Now a fine cow may give more than 3,000 quarts in a year. Why do cows give
more milk today? Now farmers have better cows. The cows get better c__7__ and better
food.
1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______
22
1. animal【解析】根据本提问后面的猜测：dogs，horses 都是动物，所以首句问的就是，哪一种动物我们
最需要---这里要填单数 animal。
2. Suppose【解析】首先由后面的 that 可以确定这里是一个可以引导从句的动词，再看文意：all the milk cows
make in one year were put into bottles,一年之内所有奶牛产的奶都被放在瓶子里，这显然是不现实的事情，
所以这里实在做一个假设: Suppose。
3. line【解析】根据上一句 All these bottles were put side by side,这些瓶子都被并排放着，后面的文意应该
是“可以绕地球 400 圈”，可以确定这里的主语，绕地球四百圈的应该是瓶子连成的线：line。
4. half【解析】这里填的应该是一个量词，表示牛奶量的多少，根据后文 Most of it is used to…大部分牛
奶都被用作制奶酪，冰淇淋等物，可以确定用来饮用以及烹饪的牛奶量应该是少于一半：less than half。
5. butter【解析】根据文意可以推断这里填的也是一个名词，而且和 cheese，ice cream 类似，也是奶制食
物，那么 b 开头的词，butter 黄油就不难被想到了。
6. takes【解析】这里有一个固定搭配：it takes some people to do sth.，花费多少人去做某事，这句话的意
思是，需要许多的奶牛来提供给我们如此多的牛奶。
7. care【解析】这里可以确定要填一个和 food 一样的名词，而且根据文意现在农民们的奶牛更好了，一
定是因为它们享受了更好的照顾与更好的食物，这里填 care。

Passage 1 【2011 年嘉定区一模】
Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside
someone's head. A small movement of the mouth or nose, or a wink of the eye —these
actions can say so much more about a person's, feelings than a__1__they say to you. But
you need to be very experienced to u__2__what you see completely. Here are some
basic movements made by Westerners — and explanationsof what they mean— to get
you started. Pat or rub your stomach. If someone rubs their stomach, they are not feeling
sick. They are just h__3__. Shrug your shoulders. This means "I don't know" or "I am
not bothered". If your friend shrugs their shoulders when invited to a party,it shows they
are not very i__4__in going along to it. Keep your fingers crossed. It is a gesture that
wishes for good l__5__. Before people take exams,they often cross their fingers in the
hope of good grades. Football fans do thesame thing when their favorite team gets a
penalty — they wish the player willscore a goal. Rub your chin. If someone rubs their
chin, it often means theydon't believe what someone is s__6__! So if your friend makes
this gesture, itsecretly tells you what they feel. Scratch your head. If your foreign
English teacher scratches his head when you ask a question, then he is confused and

Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher
gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when your
friend b__1__ your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe
much f__2__, your face turns red and you may want to break something or hit someone,
but sometimes, you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your h__3__. The
problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry
sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting o__4__or yourself.
Let me give you some advice.
When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk
about your anger with other people, such as p__5__, teachers, good friends etc. When
you talk about anger, those b__6__feelings can start to go away. On the other hand,
when you start to feel angry, you can do some other things: count from 1 to 100; go for a
bike ride; think about good things, etc.
Don't let your anger c__7__you. Remember that how you act when you are anger
can make everything better or worse.

Passage 11【2012 年虹口区二模】
In the middle of the 1800s, France was considered the most important place in the
world for art. One reason for that was the Academy, a government organization with
some strict r__1__about art. It decided what could and could not be art. In order to be
accepted by the Academy, an artist had to be very talented. Artists also had to paint
exactly the way the Academy wanted them to. A brave group of painters challenged
these ideas and changed art f__2__.
Each year, the Academy had an exhibition of the art they had decided was the best.
In 1864, a group of artists became a__3__because they didn‟t get into the show. They
felt that their paintings were not bad; the paintings were just different. After complaining
to the government, these artists were given their own show.
The Academy thought all art should look realistic. But these artists were more
interested in trying to show movement and the bright colors of daylight. In their opinion,
it was more real to show these than it was to paint a scene which was as s__4__as a
photo. It was also more interesting to show all of the different colors when light hits an
object like water.
By 1874, many different artists were painting in this new style, including Claude
Monet. One of his paintings had the title, Impression: sunrise. A critic h__5__these new
artists. He used Monet‟s title to make fun of these painters by calling them
“Impressionists”, meaning that they didn‟t make real paintings. The critics who liked
these artists thought the word was just right. They began to use it happily. They thought
it was more important to paint h__6__they saw things instead of just what they saw.
Other artists around the world felt that they could have this freedom as well. Because of
the impressionists, the art w__7__was never the same.

It‟s a s__5__that so little of the old city has been kept. I‟ve taken lots of photos while

A thousand years ago, Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more
people came to live in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is no
forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call
these ―woods‖. Elephants, tigers and many o__1__ animals were living in the thick
forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the animals began to die out. Early
farmers grew rice and r__2__ pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees
and burnt them. They needed fire to keep t__3__ warm in winter, to cook their food and
to drive away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly d__4__ because there was not
enough food for them. So did most of the wolves and tigers.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong e__5__ in the
zoos, but there are still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most lovely of
Hong Kong’s animals is the barking deer. There are beautiful little animals w__6__ a
rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail. They look like deer but they are
much smaller. They are less than two feet high. They make a noise rather like a dog
barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only one r__7__enemy- men. People hunt
these little animals though it is illegal. There are now not many barking deer left. So it is
important for people to protect these wild animals.

It's often said that the best way to see a country is to use the method of transport
which is traditional in that place. So people should see Australia on horseback, Nepal on
foot and the US by car. If this is true, then a bicycle is the p__1__ way to visit Sri Lanka.
Although the 18-speed mountain bike I used is not an everyday sight, more traditional
types can be seen all over the c__2__ .
Sharing the same kind of transport as local people changes the way you see the
place. You are traveling at a speed that fits the environment. It is not so slow that you
only see a s__3__ area each day, and not so fast that the details of the countryside are
missed. Better still, you can stop whenever you want to listen to the birds or the sound of
water, you can talk to people, smell their cooking or take a photo. H__4__, this doesn't
mean that cycling in Sri Lanka is relaxing. If you want to see the whole country, you
have to leave the towns and villages and cycle through forest—where the temperature is
37°C, cross rivers, climb hills and go over paths which are made of mud, rock or sand.
The most pleasant paths in the forest follow the irrigation canals. T__5__ carry
water into the bright green rice fields. During the afternoon, groups of children, farm
workers and water buffaloes all come to s__6__ in canals. Then, when you climb up the
hills in the centre of the country, you see that the side of every hill is covered with rows
of trees in another lovely green. In fact, the whole country is covered in more different
and beautiful shades of green t__7__ I've ever thought. Now I'm wondering where to
ride my bike next — perhaps along the canals of the Netherlands, or through the city
streets of China...

“Then when do you come out in the mornings?” I threw out another question.
“Nine o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope wakes up every

morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest
lion, or I will be k_____1_____.” At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream. The
first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the s_____2_____ antelope,

start running toward the rising sun.
This is life: full of chances and challenge. Whether you are an antelope or a lion,
you must go a_____3_____ when the sun rises. For students, it is just the same. If we do
not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall b_____4_____ the other students. At first, I
did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later I knew an exam was a kind of
competition. In competitions, there are always w_____5_____ and losers. As I grew up,
I got to know competition well. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can
improve.
Each time I saw children playing games and heard their laughter, I wished I were
that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words: “You must work very hard in
order to have a good f_____6_____.” So I picked up my pen and began to study hard
again.
I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an
English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at
me kindly. I s_____7_____ knew what competition was. It is not as cruel as my teacher

learned a lot from realizing this fact. Now I understand more about the world.
Competition is important for us all.

the Daily Mail, the volcano in the Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US, has been

will happen or what it will cause.
Unlike what happens in the movie 2012, a volcano eruption would not destroy the whole

2010 eruption of the Iceland Volcano caused more than 800 people to l__5__their homes

it has erupted at least once during the last 10, 000 years. In ancient times, more than 80
percent of the earth‟s surface was volcanic. Volcanic eruptions formed the sea floor and
some mountains over many years. Gas from volcanoes formed the earth‟s atmosphere.
Volcanoes come from very hot liquid rock that is magma, inside the earth. When magma
comes upward and breaks through the earth‟s surface, it forms volcanoes.
The rising magma heats water, which leads to explosions of steam. This pushes rocks
and ash high into the sky. T__7__different things erupt from a volcano: hot liquid rock,
volcanic ash and gases.

上海市中考英语首字母填空练习第三部分 27 篇
2010~2013 年上海市各区中考一模二模卷
Passage 1【2011年嘉定区一模】
首先通读全文，尤其是首段，可以了解这篇文章讲的是对肢体语言的解读。知道了这个主题，对文中某些
词语的猜测是有很大帮助的。
1.【答案】anything【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】我们需要把这个长句子简化，these actions can say more than a_____ they say to you，
这个空所填词的词性是什么？我们看关键词than，than前后两相比较的内容是对称的，即词性
也是一致的，than前面的action，注意不是say，是action即名词，所以than后面的部分也是名
词。a_____ they say to you中，say to you 是不完整的，say后面少了宾语，即说话内容，
所以如果句子要完整，宾语不可能没有，于是可知a_____就是say的宾语。而这个a_____，作为
名词前面没有任何冠词，所以是个复合不定代词，于是可推出是anything，翻译后意思通顺。
2.【答案】understand【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】考验的就是对全文主旨的把握及上下文的理解。这篇文章讲的是对肢体语言的解读，句子中
“what you see completely”指代的就是上一段中“these actions”，即肢体语言，对于肢
体语言，我们要做的事情就是去解读、了解，所以u开头的词很自然是understand。
3.【答案】hungry【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空等于是一个生活常识。联系前文，“If someone rubs their stomach, they are not feeling
sick.”当人们揉肚子的时候，如果不是生病那就是饿了，hungry不难得出。
4.【答案】interested【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”&“情感”
【解析】句意理解，如果朋友被邀请参加聚会却耸肩膀，表示他不…参加，我们可以从情感的角度想象
到这里要表达朋友不想参加，是消极的情绪，因为有了一个not，所以所填的词是相反的，是积
极的；be i____ in应该不难想到一个固定搭配，be interested in。所以答案是interested。
5.【答案】luck【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“固定搭配”
【解析】联系后文“in the hope of goodgrades”，表示他们交叉手指为了祈祷好成绩，与此处文意相
近，衍生出去就是好的运气，所以答案是luck。
6.【答案】saying【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”& 回首望月
【解析】这道题只能通过这一个句子和理解能力来解决。先理解句意，揉下巴意味着这个人不相信另一
个人正在s_____的什么。通过语法，立马判断这个空需要填一个现在分词，是什么动词呢？联
想一下实际生活，不相信的无非是做的或是说的，s开头的只有说，所以填say，如果有人填speak，
那么记住speak是不及物动词，当它后面跟宾语时，基本上只有语言，比如speak Chinese。
7.【答案】not【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】he is confused and might n___ have understood what you said.这个空考验上下文理解，
其实答案就在前半句的confused里，confused解释为困惑的，所以意味着外教没有明白你说的
内容，所以这里很明显填not。
28
Passage 2 【2011年闸北区一模】
通读全文，细读首句，知道这篇文章讲的是养狗。
1.【答案】responsibility【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空要联系第一句话，第一句翻译下来是“养狗不像人们想的那么简单”，第二句翻译“它
需要很多的r_____”，这里的它指的是养狗这件事，而不是狗，这里我们可以联想养狗不容易
因为需要什么？需要钱？耐心？辛苦？同时联系后文中为狗做的很多事，我们可以推出这个r
开头的词是责任responsibility，请注意责任是不可数，所以即使有a lot of，也不用变复数。
2.【答案】care【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】前面一句里罗列了遛狗、喂食和洗澡。所以这一句从写作习惯的角度出发，基本上不会是和前
面一样类型的事情了，否则也会在前面罗列在一起，所以有同学填cook不太符合写作习惯和逻
辑。这里有一个固定搭配，care for解释为喜欢和照顾，如果不知道这个搭配，也应该从“关
心狗狗”的角度出发，想到care，care作为关心时是不及物动词，后面需要介词，care在这里
是首选。
3.【答案】before【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”&“逻辑”
【解析】后文句子完整，所以这个空只需要一个连接词。并列连词中b开头的只有but，但是此处逻辑不
符；考虑从属连词，从属连词可以从不同的状语从句去排除，因为以b开头的从属连词很少，最
常见的就是because和before，这里通过句意理解应该填before。
4.【答案】protect【秘籍】逐段解决& 瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】联系上问，这一小段落在讨论一个问题：“你为什么需要狗”，而此句之前已罗列的一些理由，
此处，你养狗是为了p___你或者你家？这里填动词是毋庸质疑的，通过联想和理解，可以得出
这里的意思是保护，所以是protect。
5.【答案】is【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】由句末的问号可以得知，此处考疑问句的结构。可以引导疑问句的无非是“特殊疑问词”或“助
动词&情态动词”，其中以i开头的，只有is，结合my home是单数，从主谓一致上页论证了答案
为is。
6.【答案】whether【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”& 瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】此句通过句子结构分析，发现decide引导了一个“动宾”的结构，即“w__6__you really should
have a dog as a pet.”是一个宾语从句。此时答案的范围已经缩小到，宾语从句引导词了，
以W开头的，可以有whether 和其他Wh特殊疑问词。联系上文，提到“养狗前要想一想为什么要
养和是否有能力养狗”。所以，结合文意，这些问题可以帮助你决定是否真的需要一只宠物狗。
这里是一个whether引导的宾语从句。
7.【答案】for【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这里有一个固定搭配，如果不知道，可以通过语法知识尝试推测。Life是名词，名词前面可以
是形容词，形容词性物主代词，冠词，动词，介词。另外life这个单词的意思是双面的，如果
解释为生命，是可数名词，可是句子中is 后没有a，所以解释为生活。然后用排除法，填形容
词意味着“一只宠物是怎样的生活”，不通顺，所以先排除。物主代词没有f开头的，也排除。
冠词也排除，动词除非做分词扮演形容词的角色，才能在is后面，但是形容词已排除，剩下介
词，f开头的最常见的是for。For life的意思是一辈子的。所以这里应该填for。
29
Passage 3【2013 年松江区二模】
通读全文，细读首句，知道这篇文章讲的是条形码的应用和变迁。
1.【答案】on【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这个空很简单，barcode是名词，和代词it之间需要连词或介词，这里句子译为几乎看到每一个
产品身上都有一个条形码，所以是on。
2.【答案】easy【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空根据前后理解，条形码对于了解产品是一种e___和方便的方法。和“方便”对应的e开头
的最常见的单词就是easy，所以答案填easy。
注：有同学填efficient，文意及语法上没有问题，但与黄金法则一冲突：efficient不是中考考纲词汇。
3.【答案】clear【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空看前文理解，前面说条形码是一种对于了解产品非常简单和方便的方法，只要一刷阅读
器,“everything is c____”，everything指的是产品的信息，所以这个空想表达的是产品信
息在刷了阅读器后会一目了然，很清楚明白，所以是clear。
4.【答案】needed 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这个空根联系后文，“for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcelsyou
send”都是在罗列需要条形码的理由，表现出条形码已经在生活中无处不在。结合文意得出此
处是need，而此处need之后没有宾语，所以不能填needing，需要用被动语态，填needed。
5.【答案】without【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空需要上下文理解，前文讲到了生活中处处需要条形码，所以这里要表达的是生活如果没
有了条形码就会变得很困难，表示没有的介词是without。
6.【答案】holding【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”& 瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里的关键词是介词by，表示方式，“通过h_____特定的条形码，人们才能进入这些场合”，
这里需要的是一个动作，那么我们联想实际生活，应该是“手持条形码”，所以是hold，by后
面所以holding。
7.【答案】looks【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】It l___ strange. 句中缺少动词，且动词之后用了strange这个形容词去修饰，所以根据语法
知识，“系动词后跟形容词”得出此处需要一个系动词。前文说的是被设计成条形码样式的购
物商城，所以strange是视觉的结果，所以填looks。
Passage 4【2011年静安区一模】
细读首句，得知这篇文章在讲美国人们希望自己成为富人或者看起来像富人。
1.【答案】what【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这句句子中有两个“is”，所以这是一句复合句，句子中暂时找不到连接词，所以空格处就是
一个连接词，以w开头。我们把“”里的内容看成一个整体，简称it，简化句子看：that is ｗ
＿＿it is about. 这是一个表语从句，在从句中，w___应该是about后面的宾语，需要填一个
疑问代词，在what、which、who、whom中，根据句意，选what。
2.【答案】first【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”& 瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这个空很多同学可以用语感一下子填出来。这里需要一个副词，因为整句句子结构完整，该空
30
又是在be和uesd之间。由第一段最后一句得知，这篇文章讲这个谚语的由来，所以故事肯定是
从一开始讲起的，如果还是想不出来，结合全文可知道这个故事的来龙去脉，即这个谚语在1913
年之前是不存在的，是美国人Arthur Momand首创的。所以答案是first。Firstly虽然是副词，
但是它意为“第一”，表列举时使用。
3.【答案】outside【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这道题填一个介词，联系后文“moved back to New York City”，意为“之后搬回纽约”，那
倒推故事，此时他们应该是“搬离纽约”、“搬出纽约”才对，o开头的介词表“离开”、
“在……之外”，所以填outside。
4.【答案】finish【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句话的意思是：这种攀比就像一个比赛，每个人永远都不会f____。这个比赛因为每个人都一
直在努力追赶。Never和because决定了空格词的意思和后半句“一直在努力追赶”的意思相反，
一直向前的相反就是倒退或者停止。所以不难想到finish。
5.【答案】longer【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】Not any longer意为：“不再”。
6.【答案】common【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】根据前文理解，主人公开始写很多人攀比的故事，所以这个Jones并不是指代一个人，那就是泛
指很多人，泛指很多人用的名字一定是周围人经常听到的，才能引起读者的共鸣，去联想到是
很多人的故事，所以这个名字很普遍，答案是common。
7.【答案】appeared【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&瞻前顾后之“语法”&回首望月
【解析】句子缺少谓语，此空需填动词。主人公的系列故事a_____在不同的报纸上，中文意思可以推测
出“刊登”“发表”“出现”“印刷”，但是句中使用了主动语态，所以只有“出现”的意思
符合句子结构，对应单词appear；另，注意文章时态，正确答案appeared。
Passage 5 【2012 年浦东新区一模】
细读首句，可知文章讲的是印第安部落语言的内容。
1.【答案】except【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”&瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】their own 是个名词词组，所以在这里填不是介词就。然后看介词所表达的前后两者的关系。
联系后文，部落之间不用声音来交流，也就意味着不需要语言，倒推此处也就意味着，他们除
了自己的语言，其他都不会，所以用except。
2.【答案】whether【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”&瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】此处find out后需要填一个宾语从句的引导词，且要与句中的“or”连用。正确答案：whether。
3.【答案】rode【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&回首望月
【解析】r___his pony in alarge circle。在一个大圈里怎么他的马，不难想到是骑马，注意时态，rode。
4.【答案】corners【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&回首望月
【解析】held two c____of a blanket in his hands，用手抓着毯子的两个c_____，毯子上能用一个两
个形容的是角，所以是corners，因为two，千万不要漏了复数。
5.【答案】warn【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句句子的答案无法从上下文得知，因为是孤立的，我们只能从常识和句意理解出发。他也可
以用镜子发送信号以w____ 有些人或者吸引远处的人的注意。填动词没有问题，我们再从常识
31
和想象出发，对于我们来说，镜子反光照在陌生人身上是件不礼貌的事情，对于印第安人也是，
但是他们为什么还对陌生人这么做？因为他们要警告那些对他们来说存在威胁的陌生人。所以
答案是warn。
6.【答案】only【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空填副词，因为除掉空格句子完整。对比此处和后文，此处说的是”when the Sun was
shining”，后文笔锋一转说”at night”，结合句意和常识，镜子只有在有阳光的时候可以用。
填only。
7.【答案】removed【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&回首望月
【解析】前面一个句子是held a blanket over the fire for a minutes，后面r____the blanket from
the fire ，很显然这是个连贯的过程，先把篮子扣在火上，然后把它拿掉，所以是remove，注
意时态要前后一致，所以是removed。
Passage 6【2013 年嘉定区一模】
细读首句，知道了这篇记叙文的人物、地点和时间。
1.【答案】seat【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】联系前文，“parked her blue Nissan”，告诉大家首段的场景发生在车内。此处“in the back
s___”表示的是孩子的位置。再联系后文“Cardonajumped in the driver’s seat”，给出了
最直接的提示。综上，答案是seat。
2.【答案】stop【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】try to do sth，首先这里填动词原形。这里联系上下文，尤其后一句中的brake，刹车，可知
她想让车停下来，所以填stop。
3.【答案】frightened【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里填形容词不难判断，根据上下文，车子开始掉到池塘里，所以主人公的反应自然是很害怕
很惊恐的，所以f开头的词是frightened。
4.【答案】inside【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】联系前文，“Ryan, in the back seat”说明孩子还在车内。此处Cardona要求救必然是让人们
救车内的孩子，所以得出答案，inside。
5.【答案】Another【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】前文救Ryan的是Fountain；此处出现了另一个人名，McClung。所以此处填Another。
6.【答案】disappear【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个句子需要理解正确，the last flash of the blue car d____ under the water. Flash 指
的是这车子的闪光，意味着拉出男孩的那一刻车子开始下沉，沉至水下从而看不到闪光了，所
以说闪光消失了，填disappeared。
7.【答案】slowly【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】填副词不难判断，这个副词形容swam，通过情景可以想象，救人的过程很辛苦，Fountain都已
经游不动了，所以McClung也一定很累了，所以他游泳一定很慢，所以是slowly。
32
Passage 7【2012年青浦区一模】
这是篇记叙文，所以读首句未必能知道全文的主要内容，所以一句句往下看。
1.【答案】off【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】结合前文，前文兄妹俩在车上，所以感到很热后他们决定下车去买饮料；注意搭配，下车是get
off the bus，而非get out或get outside。
2.【答案】bottle【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】句意理解知道这边需要填一个装果汁的容器，可以想到“bottle”和“box”；此时，关联后文
“roll out”意为“滚动出来”，则明确答案为bottle。
3.【答案】noticed【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&回首望月
【解析】根据句子成分分析可得知，此处填动词。前文中主人公看到有人从车里扔出垃圾，所以很惊讶，
说明他之前从未关注过这种现象，所以他接下来就进一步注意到街上人行道上更多的垃圾，所
以这里填notice，注意时态noticed。
4.【答案】public【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】垃圾桶对于城市来说，属于公共设施，算是一个常识，但是要学生在这边联想到确实有一定难
度，答案是public。（Demon班上的学生考试时候填新概念二册词汇plentiful，语义也通畅，
只可惜plentiful是纲外词汇。）
5.【答案】even【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】这里填副词不难判断。这一段每一句都是一个动作，写了主人公做的一系列事情，包括建议、
描述、希望，除此之外，还找邻居在信上集体签名，这件事比起前面的程度更甚更难得，所以
这里想表达甚至的意思，是even。
6.【答案】show【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里是不定式，填动词原形。有语感的话答案脱口而出，如果想不出来，看后文，哥哥带着妹
妹去街上看垃圾桶，所以说哥哥想要给妹妹看一些东西，所以是show。
7.【答案】proud【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】市长听取了他们的建议，所以他们又开心又p____，做了这样一件了不起的事情之后自然应感到
自豪，所以这里填proud。
Passage 8【2012年黄浦区一模】
记叙文读首句，大概知道故事发生的地点和人物。由首句可知，发生在村子的警局附近，人物有我和警察。
1.【答案】walked【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】第一空，三个并列句，所以填的词和前面的look，后面的held一样都是动词。至于是什么动词，
看警察做这一系列动作的逻辑。别忘了还要看前面一句对警察的介绍，前面他站在警局外读东
西。这一句他先是看我的车，然后w___进马路，然后举手让我停车。应该很明显了，举手让我
停车的动作一定是在马路上做的，所以他是从旁走到马路中，所以是walk，注意时态，walked。
2.【答案】almost【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】第二空填副词，这里同样联系上下文，请注意后面的“but”，这一句说我突然意识到警察已经
知道我了，再往后有一句“I drove faster”。也就是我压根就没停车。回头看我a_____停车
了，但突然……这里要填的词是肯定的意思，但是又不是真的停下车了，所以只能是“几乎，
差不多”，即almost。
33
3.【答案】stupid【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第三空主要看后一句，他意识到偷车是s____的，它会帮助警察找到我。所以偷车是件愚蠢的事，
所以是stupid。
4.【答案】nothing【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第四空填名词，因为在eat后面。主要看前一句了，我很饿了，我从早上到现在吃n____。这句
句子看上去是个肯定句，但是我们从作者情感角度出发，他强调很饿，一定是说吃了很少东西
或者没吃东西，所以这里填的词有否定作用，有否定作用的名词，想到nothing。
5.【答案】side/small【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第五空可以联系上下文，这里说我飞快地开车，一辆车从一条s___的路上出现。也就是说这条
s___的路不是他自己在开的那条路，所以这条路一定是在他开车的路的旁边，所以我们应该想
到是side，也有同学想到small，在这边也是对的。
6.【答案】luck【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”& 固定搭配
【解析】第六空，这里注意but表转折，我们看but的前后分别是什么，前面是他想试一试hit something
soft beyond, 后面是车沉入河里了，所以他的设想没有实现。此处be out of考察学生对固定
搭配的认知，解释为“没有”，所以他说自己没有好的l____，在没有把握的情况下做事情想成
功最需要的是运气，good luck表好运。
7.【答案】pleased【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第七空作者的心情实际上是好的还是坏的？最后一句，他说这是个让车子消失的好方法，所以
心情是积极的，more p____ than angry，比起生气来更p____，和angry相对的表示开心的，
是pleased。
Passage 9【2013年虹口区一模】
首先细读首句，事实上，这篇文章是首段，三个问句就把主旨说清楚了，讲的是对于名牌的了解和使用。
1.【答案】advertisement【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”& 回首望月
【解析】Nike’s是所有格形式，所以后面一定是名词。空格后面是on TV，把耐克和电视联系起来，能
想到的东西只有广告，所以是advertisements。请注意复数，因为耐克的广告肯定不止一个。
2.【答案】although【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】首先判断词性，这个句子有两个谓语，所以这个空是个连词，连词主要判断前后两句的逻辑关
系就行。前面半句说我喜欢顶尖的名牌产品，后半句说他们很贵，即使贵还是喜欢买，所以是
一种让步的逻辑，所以是although。
3.【答案】cool【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】前面一句说名牌产品通常很独特很好看，所以拥有这些产品是c____的，我们从情感角度想，拥
有了独特的东西给人感觉就是很炫很酷，所以这里是cool。
4.【答案】for【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这个人说的这一段都是在讲明星代言。I want to use the products they speak f____。我们
看这个句子结构，主句是I want to use the products，而they speak f____是个定语从句，
修饰products，那么这里明显省略了一个连接词，定语从句中能省略的连接词只有that，而省
略的情况只有当that在从句中充当宾语的时候，所以换言之，that修饰的products是从句中谓
语的宾语。那谓语是speak还是speak f___？speak基本上除了说语言时及物之外，其他基本都
不及物，代言也是，所以这里需要代词，为……代言，所以代词是for。
34
5.【答案】interest【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】首先看到逻辑转折词“but”，前一句说当今社会年轻人拥有名牌产品很流行，“但是”引出的
这一句一定会表达相反的观点。固定搭配have (no)interestin sth.，意为“对某事（没有）
兴趣”，所以填interest。
6.【答案】independent【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】首先，Become是系动词，financially是副词，所以要填的是形容词。这个空也要先联系整个这
一段的思想。这个人说的前几句话表达了她不会乱花父母的钱，因为她自己没挣钱，父母挣钱
也不容易。最后这一句说她长大后且变得financially i____之后，就会买喜欢的名牌。前面提
的是没有钱，依赖父母，所以不买，后一句一定是对应前面说的，所以指长大后有钱了，独立
了，就买，所以是经济独立，independent就出来了，事实上这是个固定搭配，be financially
independent，经济独立。
7.【答案】well【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这道题给出了逻辑词“as long as”意为“只要”，所以顺承这样的逻辑，推导文意：爱打球
的男生在操场上不在乎穿着，所以只要你能打得w_____就够了，很明显，球场上只在乎球技，
就是打得好。所以是well。
Passage 10【2012 年奉贤区二模】
这篇文章比较简单，很多同学甚至可以凭语感做出来。细读首句，这篇文章讲的是生气，是说明文。
1.【答案】borrows【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”& 回首望月
【解析】第一空，这里是个排比句，三个when，所以空格处的词可以对应其他两个句子的相同成分，所
以这里和gives、loses一样是个一般现在时的动词。然后根据句意，朋友b___我最爱的东西而
且打破它我会很生气，不难判断是借，即borrows。
2.【答案】faster【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】前面有一个For example，所以后面这些都是在列举生气时身体的表现。所以完全可以合常识来
推断。Breathe在这里是动词，所以所填的是副词，副词前面有个much,much是用来修饰比较级
的标志词，所以这个副词是比较级，结合常识，呼吸会变快，所以是faster。
3.【答案】heart【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里纯粹是瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”，我们会把自己的怒气藏在心里，从而导致头痛和胃病，
所以是heart。
4.【答案】others【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”。怒气必须得释放出来，当然不能伤害o___或者你自己。Or意味着
前后是同样性质的，yourself是人，所以o___也是人，除了yourself，那么就只有其他人了。
所以是others。
5.【答案】parents 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”& 回首望月

【解析】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”，向他人倾诉愤怒是好事，Such as表示举例，所以后面出现的三个
例子是同一性质的，p____，老师，好朋友等等，所以p_____很自然而然的是家长，parents。
6.【答案】bad【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】诉说愤怒时，那些b___的感觉就开始消失，b___的感觉其实就是愤怒或者和愤怒相关的感觉，
也就是不好的感觉，所以是bad。
7.【答案】control【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--情感”
35
【解析】这句话是文章的总结，所以需要对文章的主旨有概念。这篇文章先是讲了生气的原因，表现，
后来就主要讲怎么处理生气，而这才是重点。所以最后一段的这第一句就是点明这个主题的，
主题是你要学会处理生气，也就是你能控制自己脾气，反过来你不会被怒气控制，，所以是
control。
这篇文章有难度。读首句，大概知道讲的是法国的艺术。
1.【答案】rules【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“逻辑”
【解析】这句句子开头是One reason，所以这句是在解释第一句，法国为什么能被认为是世界上最重要
的艺术之国，因为Academy，这个词不认识不要紧，因为逗号后面就是在解释什么是Academy，
这是一个政府组织with some strict r____ about art.政府组织有严格的r___，不难想到是规
章制度，所以是rules，注意别漏了s。
2.【答案】form【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空有点难。这句句子在段末，所以我们要先搞清楚前面都在讲什么。前面都在讲画家们要
遵守很多规定，最后一句有一个标志性的形容词brave和一个标志性的动词challenge，如果不
知道challenge什么意思，通过brave也能判断这句话的感情基调，前面是组织里僵化了的规定，
后面来了一群勇敢的画家，因为强调勇敢，所以肯定是要做非同凡响的事情，就是挑战权威，
and changed art f____，他们挑战了之后还改变了艺术的f____。这个f____从哪里找？
challenged these ideas中的ideas其实是对应了前面的内容，所以f___对应的内容也许可以从
下文中找。从后文中我们知道被改变的是什么？传统的画画是像拍照一样画出你看到的东西，
而改变的是画光与影，也就是你怎么看东西。所以这改变的是画画的方式、形式。所以这里是
form。
3.【答案】angry【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--情感”
【解析】这里通过瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”，关键词because解释的原因是这群艺术家不被邀请参加这
个展出，前面说过这个展览展出的是最好的艺术品，而这些作家被排除，他们自己认为自己的
作品并不差，所以他们的情绪肯定是生气的，angry。
4.【答案】still【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--逻辑”
【解析】这个空很难，这个词的这种用法不常见，所以不太容易想到。我们句中的关键词than，有than
就要关注前后的对比和同步性。这句话比较的是哪个is more real，Than前是show these，这
句中“these”指的是再前一句中“movement and the bright colors of daylight”，than
后面是to paint a scene which was as s___ as a photo。前面是“光线的运动和亮色”,后
面是“像照片一样s____的图”，前者强调的是动，那么后面相反一定是静，不动的，所以是still。
有同学填same，没有as same as的用法。
5.【答案】hated【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】这句话要联系后面两句，首先critic是评论家，如果不了解什么意思不要紧，只要知道他是一
个人就行。后面一句中有个关键词组“make fun of”，这个人取笑他们的作品，还给他们的作
品取了个名字叫“印象派”。所以他h_____这些新的艺术家。如果还想不出来再看下一句，The
critics who liked these artists thought the word was just right.那些喜欢这些艺术家
的人认为这个词（即“印象派”）恰恰是对的。所以这些评论家的态度和那个评论家的态度是
相反的，like的反义词就是hate。所以答案是hated。
6.【答案】how【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—语法”& “逻辑”
【解析】这里找到关键词组“instead of”，它和than一样，前后内容是对应的。后面是“what they saw”，
36
前面是“h__ they saw things”，与what 对应的且h开头的只有how。
7.【答案】world【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—语法”
【解析】这句话说因为有了印象派，艺术w___从此不一样了。我们知道印象派是以一种艺术流派，如果
只有它自己一种艺术方式，就称不上流派，流派一定是在一个领域内才存在的，所以一个流派
的出现所改变的正是这个领域，就好像一个朋友圈如果多了一个不同性格的朋友，他会改变整
个朋友圈的气氛。艺术的领域就是art world。
Passage 12【2012 年徐汇区二模】
首先细读首句，这篇文章讲的是北京的胡同。而且这篇文章的体裁是个采访报道。
1.【答案】opinions【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”& 回首望月
【解析】这一句记者说，我们请几个游客告诉了我们他们的o_____。采访肯定是听别人的想法和观点，
而且通过后文中的每一段不难看出，人们是在发表看法，所以是opinions，注意是their，所以
复数。
2.【答案】strange/surprising【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--情感”
【解析】关键符号破折号请注意，表示补充说明，破折号后面说我们在一个世界级的大城市的中央却因
为这些胡同有了一种在乡下的感觉。这种感受对于这位游客来说是很不同的，后文中还有一句
话印证了“very different from the streets in the centre of Hong Kong!”对于一种全新
不同的体验她当然会感到惊讶或者奇怪。所以是strange/surprising。
3.【答案】addition【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】这里固定搭配一眼就能看出来，是in addition。
4.【答案】imagine【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--逻辑”
【解析】这个句子简化了看，When you visit the modern part of Beijing, you can i___ you are almost
anywhere in the world。很明显，当你游览北京时几乎在世界的任何地方是不真实的，所以是
想象出来的。所以是imagine。
5.【答案】shame【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--逻辑&情感”
【解析】看到关键词“so little of ”，Little有否定的意思，表示这座古城里被保住的遗产极少，这
是一件让人遗憾的事情，加上固定搭配，不难得出shame。
6.【答案】hardly【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”初三 Demon 老师首字母填空分享

【解析】破折号又出现了，前面是胡同太窄了，后面是我h___沿着他们开车。Too常常表示程度太高以至
于让人无法做某事，所以这里想表达的是很难，几乎不能开车，所以是hardly。
7.【答案】capital【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个游客对胡同没有好感，他抱怨了胡同的窄，抱怨了房子的旧和脏，然后一下子把范围放到
中国，说中国需要一个值得骄傲的更好的c____城市。有些同学可能做到后来只把注意力放在胡
同上，忽略了城市北京，就想不到要填首都，所以可以想想为什么突然把范围放到中国，因为
这个城市在中国地位不一般，进而回过头来想到北京是首都，填capital。
Passage 13【2012 年奉贤区一模】

细读首段，这篇文章讲的是香港森林因为人类入住而发生的变化。
1.【答案】other【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
37
【解析】这句话说“大象、老虎和很多o____动物曾住在茂密的森林里。”森林里住的动物肯定不止大象和
老虎，还有其他动物，所以这里不难推出是other。注意的是other在这里作形容词，不需要加s。
2.【答案】raised【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句话说“早期的农民在山谷里种植水稻且r____猪和鸡”。根据句意和常识我们就可以知道，这
里要表达的是养猪养鸡。所以是raised。
3.【答案】themselves【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里很好理解，他们砍树生火为了在冬天保暖，保暖的对象当然是他们自己，所以是themselves。
4.【答案】disappeared/died（曹燕霞老师提供的答案，也可以哦！）【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这一段的第二句中提到当人们来到香港后，动物们开始die out，这个词组解释为灭绝。回到这
个空格，大象开始迅速地d_____，因为没有足够的食物提供给它们。通过这一句中没有足够食
物和前一句的die out，可以推断出这里是disappeared 或者died。
5.【答案】except【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】在两个介词词组中间的这个词一定是个连词，那就看逻辑是什么。“你可能认为香港不再有任何
动物e_____在动物园里，”前面说不再有动物，后面说动物园，我们知道动物园里肯定是有动物
的，所以后面的情况是不属于前面的，是被排除的，所以应该可以想到except。
6.【答案】with【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这道题能用语感做出来。也可以通过语法和推理。首先这句句子到animals为止就是一句完整的
there be 句型句子了，所以后面的一串不是状语就是后置定语。明显不是状语，所以是后置定
语，我们最常接触的后置定语是介词短语、分词和一些特殊的形容词。那么在这里是分词还是
介词？分词有同学想到wearing，因为和coat对应，但是别忘了有个and，wearing和后面的patch
不符合，所以是介词。然后，“animals”以及A rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail是什
么关系？这一段是在介绍香港有名的一种动物“barking deer”，中间的三句都是在介绍它的样子。
所以这个coat不是指人穿的衣服，而是指deer身上的毛，所以这两个短语都是animals身上的东西，
是一种伴随的状态。表伴随的介词且w开头的就是with。
7.【答案】real【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--情感”
【解析】“在香港，麂子只有一个r____的敌人——人类。”后面讲了很多香港人非法捕猎麂子。r____这个
词是形容词没有异议。我们通过常识应该知道，动物在大自然里是有很多敌人的，甚至气候和
地理环境有时候也会是他们生存的敌人，不可能“has only one”，所以这里强调的是人类这个敌
人的特殊，。人类的行为直接决定了它们的存活率，所以和其他因素比起来，人类才是真正的敌
人，所以这里是real。

细读首段，这篇文章讲的是香港森林因为人类入住而发生的变化。
1.【答案】perfect【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—复现”
【解析】前文出现”the best way to see a country”与此处”the p______ way to visit Sri Lanka”意思相近，此处
需要填一个 p 开头的能表示最好的词，即 perfect。
2.【答案】country【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】前文出现”the best way to see a country”已经出现了 country 一次，另外前文提到的 Australia、Nepal、
38
US 都是国家名，所以此处填 country。
3.【答案】small【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】本句 It is not so slow that …，so …that 的句型意为“太……以至于”。因此，此处要填的形容词是
骑太慢所导致的结果，骑得慢看得地方自然不大，所以天 small。
4.【答案】However【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】前文提到的”listen to the birds or the sound of water”、”smell their cooking”等都是惬意舒适的活动，
而后文却说”thisdoesn’t mean that cycling in Sri Lanka is relaxing.”，前后文逻辑出现了转折，因此
此处需要填一个表示转折的逻辑词，即 However。
5.【答案】They【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】本句缺少主语，并且主语要能把水带到田地里。容易联想到前文提及的“渠道”，可是并非 t 开
头。那是否有考虑过用代词去指代“渠道”呢？此处填代词 They。
6.【答案】swim【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】此处需要填动词，而动作的发出者即有人也有水牛，所以 stay 不合适，答案为 swim。
7.【答案】trees【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—复现”& 回首望月
【解析】前文”hill is coveredwith rows of trees in another lovely green”给此处”shades of green t____”提供了
充分的线索，要注意 tree 是可数名词，填 trees。
Passage 15【2010 年长宁区一模】

首先细读首句，文章交代的时间地点是西雅图的下午。
1.【答案】down【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】这里是固定搭配，沿着街道走，walk down。
2.【答案】smell【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这一句的前面在讲人们手里都有一杯东西，他们在喝什么呢？后面作者知道了，是咖啡。那作
者是怎么知道的呢？You s___ the air in Seattle。通过 s___空气就可以知道是咖啡，很明显，是
通过鼻子闻，所以是 smell。
3.【答案】days【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--情感”
【解析】句意理解，西雅图的人都爱咖啡，因为西雅图有很多下雨的 d____而且人们需要咖啡让自己快
乐。其实这里本身有固定搭配，因为 rainy 后面跟的无非是天气、日子、季节，在这里结合语
境，阴雨天让人的心情容易糟糕，所以人们更需要咖啡，所以这里是 days。
4.【答案】asleep【秘籍】固定搭配
【解析】如果一下子看出固定搭配最好，看不出来可以通过前面一句推断。前一句说“咖啡店盛行的另一
个原因是西雅图的人都很闲散。”后一句说“他们需要咖啡来防止自己很容易 fall a_____。”结合
常识，人很闲散的时候容易犯困，所以是 asleep。
5.【答案】part【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】结合前一句，前一句列举了人们在咖啡吧里做的各种事情，从聊天到工作都泡在那里，所以很
显然咖啡吧成了他们生活很重要的一部分。所以是 part。
39
6.【答案】opened【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】1971 年，星巴克第一次在西雅图 o____。句意理解直接可以推出这里说的是开张，opened。
7.【答案】：only【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】通过前后两个句子就能得出。前一句“星巴克有很多好的 baristas（咖啡师）”，这一句“但是星
巴克不是城市里 o____受欢迎的连锁店。”后一句“还有其他的大型的连锁店。”首先星巴克肯定
是受欢迎的，因为有好的咖啡师。“But”这个转折出现了，但是还有其他的连锁店也受欢迎，所
以星巴克不是“唯一的”，顺理成章得就得出了 only。

细读首段，这篇文章是个记叙文，讲的是深夜打的。
1.【答案】broke【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句句子的前一句有一个traffic jam，指交通堵塞，所以可以想到这个时候车子会停一段时间。
后一句说我b___了沉默因为害怕司机因为太累而睡着，然后紧跟着一句主人公说的话，所以这
里可以想到，主人公害怕司机在车子停着的时候睡着，所以要通过和他说话来让他保持清醒，
所以是打破沉默，注意时态，填broke。
2.【答案】trip【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句话是司机在回答主人公“你一般晚上什么时候回家？”的问题，司机说我会在这一趟t___之
后回家。坐过出租的人都能理解这里的意思是送完这一个客人，开完这最后一趟，那么出租车
每次运送一个客人就等于是一个小型的旅行，我们用trip。
3.【答案】surprised【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句后面有个because，主人公因为过去听多了抱怨，所以当他听到司机说他独特的想法时，感
受当然是惊讶，所以是surprised。
4.【答案】seems【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】从they开始是一句完整的句子，而整句开头是it，所以不难想到是一个it做形式主语的句子，所
以这里需要一个系动词，而且是可以引导宾语从句的系动词，因为后面的that省略了，结合句意，
这里表达一种猜测，一种意见的表达，所以只有seems，由于“人们对一切都不满足”这是客观现
实，所以用一般现在时。
5.【答案】seldom 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】首先这里无疑是填副词。关键词lucky，driver without a passenger是一件不幸运的事，所以这里
填的副词是一个表示否定的，不幸的事很少或者不发生才叫lucky，s开头的只有seldom。
6.【答案】empty【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里司机在说他自己的载客绝招。他为什么能一直都能有客人呢？因为他和e____的车子对着干，
和人家往相反的方向开，才会有客人，那么同样都是出租车，他绕开的是什么出租车才能有生
意呢？坐过出租车的人都知道，你打的打了前面一辆，后面那辆就失去了你这个客人，所以只
有抢在前面做第一辆空车才能有客人，所以这里是empty，他绕开的正是前面的空车。
7.【答案】serious【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】这个空需要对全文的把握。这里主人公无疑是在称赞司机的生活态度，所以s开头的词是一个形
40
容生活态度的，正面的词，我们看到司机是个知足常乐，踏实认真，且充满智慧的人，所以他
的生活态度是认真的，填serious。
Passage 17【2012 年黄浦区二模】

细读首段，讲了是一个非洲羚羊的故事，当然往后读发现是篇夹叙夹议的文章。
1.【答案】killed【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空格很简单，通过句意了解就能得出结果，“我必须比最快的狮子跑得快，不然我会被吃掉”。
这个意思很容易得出，但是这里是 k 开头的，所以是被杀，killed。
2.【答案】slowest【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】这句话对应上面那句羚羊说的话，这个空格填的是形容词，前面有个 the，所以填的是最高级或
表示有最高级含义的词。狮子说“我必须能抓住最 s___的羚羊才不至于饿死”。狮子想不饿死，
至少得抓住最慢的羚羊。所以是 slowest。
3.【答案】ahead【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】“不管你是狮子还是羚羊，每天当太阳升起你就必须 go a___”。Go 后面的介词通常表示 go 的方
向，那么想象一下狮子和羚羊们奔跑的方向通常是向前的，就像现实生活中，人都要向前进一
样，所以是 ahead。
4.【答案】behind【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】这句很简单，如果我们不努力学习，我们就会 fall b___其他人。这里当然是填“落后于”，固定
搭配 fall behind。
5.【答案】winners【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这个词通过后面的 losers 就能得出，在比赛中就输家就有赢家，所以填 winners。
6.【答案】future【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空每个学生应该都很熟悉，因为家长基本都这么对孩子说过：“你必须努力，为了有一个美
好的将来”。所以是 future。
7.【答案】suddenly【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】这段段首的句子是“我还不是很确定竞赛到底意味着什么。”后面说他有一天参加了一个竞赛，
当他看到同学友善地看着他时，他 s___明白了什么是竞赛。他明白了什么是竞赛这件事情是个
意外，他没有预料到的，所以是突然地，suddenly。
Passage 18【2013 年金山区一模】

1.【答案】different【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】这句话的结构是（Life In Venice）----（was d_____ from）-----（life in most of Europe）。在威尼
斯的生活和欧洲大多数的生活，这两者间需要填的是谓语。这句话后，详述的是威尼斯的生活：
有漂亮的大楼，有很多水渠。而第一段叙述的是欧洲在那个时期，处在战乱时期。所以此空填
的是 adj. different
2.【答案】invited【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
41
【解析】该句的主语 He 指代的是 Kublai Khan 忽必烈，忽必烈是 Marco Polo 的朋友，他们游历到了中
国，忽必烈 i______ 他们返回中国。由 friend 和 return 可以得出，答案是 invite，注意时态。
3.【答案】languages【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&回首望月
【解析】主语 who 指代 Marco，谓语 speak，所以该空填的是宾语，并且是可数名词，因为有 Four 修饰。
又看到空后面有 including Chinese，是对该谓语的举例说明。很明显是 language，注意用复数形
式。
4.【答案】through/throughout【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】先判断句子主谓宾结构完整，该空应该填的是状语，China 是地名，判断是个介词，作地点状
语。Many trips，再结合后文的很多种经历，可知 Marco 游历的中国很多地方，表示遍及整个中
国，介词 throughout。
5.【答案】instead【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】中国元代官方发行的纸币要比欧洲国家早 400 多年。根据前文所说 coal used as fuel，很明显欧
洲那时也没有 coal，所以 macro 在中国看到的是和欧洲不一样的，纸币而不是硬币。Instead of 而
不是。
6.【答案】writing【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】上下文判断，后文的 book 和哪个动词搭配，很明显只有 write，注意语法，spend 后接动词，需
要用动名词的形式。所以 Writing。
7.【答案】popular【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】先判断句子结构，空后是 book，空前是 the most，这里想要表示形容词的最高级，并且空处填
的是多音节的形容词。联系后文，many people in Europe learned about life in China，很多人因为
这本书开始了解中国，所以填 popular。
Passage 19【2012年闵行区二模】
细读首段，提到了电影《2012》中黄石公园里火山爆发的场景。
1.【答案】real【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】前一段讲的是电影情节，这一段说的是现实生活中科学家的预言，所以他们所预言的黄石公园
火山爆发和电影中的虚拟相对，是现实的，所以是 real life。
2.【答案】up【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】从前句或后句中的“has been rising”和“this rise”可以得出，这里要填的是岩浆表面上升了 3 英寸，
所以是 go 的一个表示上升的词组，表示向上的介词是 up。
3.【答案】signs【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这一段一开始讲的是科学家预言黄石公园的火山很快会爆发，后面讲的是火山岩浆表面上升。
然后这一句说“这种上升是火山即将爆发的几个主要 s___之一。”很显然，科学家作出预言是需
要根据需要征兆的，而这种上升正是一种迹象、征兆，所以填 sign，以为前面是 one of，所以复
数 signs。
4.【答案】but【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里填连词是不难得出的，因为逗号隔开的两个句子各自都是完整的。所以只要判断逻辑。前
42
面说火山爆发不会摧毁整个世界，后面说它可以对附近的人造成巨大的损失，这明显是一个转
折的关系，所以是 but。
5.【答案】lose 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句举了 2010 年冰岛火山爆发的实际例子，它导致 800 多人 l____了他们的家。这里不用多想
肯定是失去家园，所以是 lose。
6.【答案】considered/called【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】前面一句中有 active 这个词，然后接下来这句也出现了 active，第二句其实是紧跟着第一句来的。
第一句说的是世上有超过 1500 座活火山，接下来就说，一座火山在最近的一万年里爆发至少一
次就被 c____活的。就是说一万年里爆发一次其实就是个判断活火山的标准，所以空格填的是被
认为或者被称作，所以是 considered 或者 called。
7.【答案】Three【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】这个空很简单，关键是冒号，冒号后面的内容是对冒号前的详细说明。冒号后是三种东西，所
以这个空填 three。
Passage 20【2012 年杨浦区二模】

细读首句，讲的是阿姆斯特丹这座城市被称作“自行车之城”的原因。
1.【答案】allowed【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这一段要结合前后内容，我们从后文中看出，人们开始骑自行车是因为这群自行车迷把车子放
在了公共场所，也就是说在这之前，公共场所是没有自行车的。回过头来看这个空，他们相信
只要在城市中心自行车被 a____，对每个人会更好。原先是没有自行车的，只要自行车被允许在
市中心流通。所以是 allowed。注意被动语态。
2．【答案】short【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空填形容词毋庸置疑。任何人可以用自行车来完成一次 s___的旅行。自行车完成旅行这种
说法不是很常见，一般都是火车或者飞机。这里是为了突出自行车的作用，而自行车与火车、
飞机的旅行相比下来最明显的不同点就是旅途的长短，自行车的旅途是很短的，所以是 short。
3.【答案】leave【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】当人们到达目的地后，他们可以把车 l___在那里给别人用。通过句意理解，可以想到是留在那
里，所以是 leave。
4.【答案】back【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这里要结合前一段的最后一句，说的是自行车因为小偷而没有很好地延续下去。第三段段首的
一个词“however”表转折，肯定就是承接上面说的这个遗憾的情况的。这一段说的是白色自行车
在四十年后 b____，这次它带上了芯片。很明显，前面说自行车计划失败了，后面说带上芯片
了后白色自行车又开始了，所以是回归。所以是 back。
5.【答案】record【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】r____填动词，因为跟在 to 后面作不定式，表目的，动词前面是电脑芯片，电脑芯片的目的是
r____车的每一次行程，这样就能解决前面小偷的问题，这里结合常识，就知道这个芯片是为了
追踪自行车的，所以记录它的行程，用 record。
43
6.【答案】another【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句话有个 and，并列句，前半句说的是自行车被停在一个特定的地方，后半句说用它的人要
把它带到 a_____地方，那里要有充足空间。前面是一个地方，后面是用了之后，那肯定是去了
另一个地方，所以是 another。
7.【答案】less【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这里填形容词不难推断。重点是 because 这一句，因为人们都开始用白色自行车，所以市中心
的交通变 l____。结合后面的“thanks to”，这里肯定是表达自行车带来了好的结果，所以交通一
定是变得更简单更少。所以这里填 less。
Passage 21【2013 年静安区一模】

首先细读首句，讲的是李明难以忘记他来英国时的生活。
1.【答案】nothing【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】首先注意到后面的 at all，我们知道一个固定搭配 not at all，这里缺了一个 not，而前面没有 not，
所以所填的词必须有否定含义。再次，看句意，他在说这个汤的味道，但是味道怎么样，要从
后面一句句子看出来。后一句说中国的菜很咸。所以前面英国的汤相对来说很淡，所以尝起来
基本上没有什么味道。这两点结合下来，这个空填 nothing。
2．【答案】makes【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“语法”
【解析】这句根据句意，盐可以使汤的味道变得更好，这里填一个使役动词，m 开头的只有 make。注意
单数。
3.【答案】surprised【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】我走的时候朋友的妈妈亲了我一下，这是个很突然地举动对我来说，而且是中国没有的，所以
我当时的感受一定是很吃惊。所以是 surprised。有同学填 shy，这里填 shy 不能突出这件事情的
突发性。
4.【答案】Transport【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空只要看这段内容就可以。提到了自行车、公交车，还有如何坐公交，所以很简单，这段
讲交通，填 transport。
5.【答案】because【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这句话很明显是个复合句。这真的让人很困惑 b___公交不会像北京那样自己停下。很明显后半
句是在解释“困惑”是什么，所以是原因状语从句。填 because。
6.【答案】presents【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这一段讲社交。举了一个送蛋糕的例子，讲中国和英国送蛋糕的意义区别。这句说在中国我们
通常送别人蛋糕作为 p___，无疑是礼物，presents。
7.【答案】often【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这一空根据前文理解，我送蛋糕作为感谢礼明显送错了，这一句交代了原因，因为在英国蛋糕
更 o____在生日时赠送。平时不怎么送，所以这里想表达的是更多情况下生日时赠送，表示一
个频率，所以是 often。
44
Passage 22【2012 年黄浦区一模】

记叙文读首句，大概知道故事发生的地点和人物。由首句可知，发生在村子的警局附近，人物有我和警察。
1.【答案】walked【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】第一空，三个并列句，所以填的词和前面的 look，后面的 held 一样都是动词。至于是什么动词，
看警察做这一系列动作的逻辑。别忘了还要看前面一句对警察的介绍，前面他站在警局外读东
西。这一句他先是看我的车，然后 w___进马路，然后举手让我停车。应该很明显了，举手让我
停车的动作一定是在马路上做的，所以他是从旁走到马路中，所以是 walk，注意时态，walked。
2.【答案】almost【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】第二空填副词，这里同样联系上下文，请注意后面的“but”，这一句说我突然意识到警察已经知
道我了，再往后有一句“I drove faster”。也就是我压根就没停车。回头看我 a_____停车了，但突
然……这里要填的词是肯定的意思，但是又不是真的停下车了，所以只能是“几乎，差不多”，
即 almost。
3.【答案】stupid【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第三空主要看后一句，他意识到偷车是 s____的，它会帮助警察找到我。所以偷车是件愚蠢的
事，所以是 stupid。
4.【答案】nothing【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第四空填名词，因为在 eat 后面。主要看前一句了，我很饿了，我从早上到现在吃 n____。这句
句子看上去是个肯定句，但是我们从作者情感角度出发，他强调很饿，一定是说吃了很少东西
或者没吃东西，所以这里填的词有否定作用，有否定作用的名词，想到 nothing。
5.【答案】side/small【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第五空可以联系上下文，这里说我飞快地开车，一辆车从一条 s___的路上出现。也就是说这条
s___的路不是他自己在开的那条路，所以这条路一定是在他开车的路的旁边，所以我们应该想
到是 side，也有同学想到 small，在这边也是对的。
6.【答案】luck【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”& 固定搭配
【解析】第六空，这里注意 but 表转折，我们看 but 的前后分别是什么，前面是他想试一试 hit something
soft beyond, 后面是车沉入河里了，所以他的设想没有实现。此处 be out of 考察学生对固定搭配
的认知，解释为“没有”，所以他说自己没有好的 l____，在没有把握的情况下做事情想成功最需
要的是运气，good luck 表好运。
7.【答案】pleased【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】第七空作者的心情实际上是好的还是坏的？最后一句，他说这是个让车子消失的好方法，所以
心情是积极的，more p____ than angry，比起生气来更 p____，和 angry 相对的表示开心的，是
pleased。
Passage 23【2013 年松江区一模】

细读首句，讲的是去年的“双十一”，网购。
1.【答案】things【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
这一句形象地描述了网购的流程，“坐在电脑前，点击鼠标然后你的t____将在几天内寄到你家”。很明
45
显，寄到你家的是你买的东西，所以是things。
2.【答案】service【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
Deliver是递送的意思，free deliver s____，免费的递送s____，不难想到这里是指免邮，免邮是网店提供
的一种优惠服务，所以这里是service。
3.【答案】cheaper【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
在be动词后面，所以这个空是形容词，有much在前面，所以是形容词比较级。这里是一位顾客在说网
购的好处，比如省时间，比如选择更多，那么作为常识，第一空就是省钱，因为网购通常更便宜，所
以是cheaper。
4.【答案】Another【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
上一段讲了网购的三个好处。这一段第一句“big advantage”，讲的是帮助人们买到不同城市甚至不同国
家的商品，所以相对于上一段的几个好处，这是另一个好处，所以是another。
5.【答案】also【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
句首有个while，表示同步，“当享受网购的时候，人们a____有一些困扰。”通过瞻前顾后之“上下文关
联”，这里表示“也”，所以是also。
6.【答案】attracted【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
年轻的学生容易被网上广告a____并且买他们不需要的东西，通过瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”，这里是被
广告吸引，所以是attracted，注意被动语态。
7.【答案】wastes【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--逻辑”
网购w___中学生的时间，这里通过瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”，是浪费时间，所以是wastes。
Passage 24【2012 年普陀区二模】

首先细读首句，讲的是一个过去很喜欢上网的女孩子。
1.【答案】awful【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
跟在something后面，所以是一个修饰something且后置的形容词。至于是什么形容词，通过后文，得知
她被一个网友骗钱了，这件事彻底改变了她的网络观，这件事对她的打击很大，所以是件很可怕很糟
糕的事情，所以是awful。
2.【答案】singers【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--逻辑”
Wendy最喜欢做的事情就是去音乐网站上聊天，别人也都喜欢在那里聊最新的演唱会和著名的s___最
近会做什么。这里很明显是在聊明星，因为前面说了是音乐网站，所以这里的明星是歌手，singers。
3.【答案】enjoyed【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”&“语法”
这里要填谓语，且后面紧跟着的是talking，即这个谓语是一个后跟doing的动词，通过后文，看出她和
这个网友志趣相投，所以这里是她很喜欢很享受和她聊天。所以是enjoyed。
4.【答案】similar【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
紧跟在looked后面，这个空不是副词就是形容词。如果是副词，就是修饰look to，但是句意不通顺，所
以是形容词跟在look这个系动词后面。前面说，她们俩喜欢相同的音乐，相同的服饰，相同的电影，
相同的担忧。然后Anne发了一张她的照片，她甚至看上去s____Wendy。“even”就是承接前面一连串的
46
“same”的，她们有一大堆东西一样，现在看了照片后发现，甚至长得都差不多。所以是similar。
5.【答案】pretended【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
真相大白了，这个骗子不是真的和Wendy志同道合，他喜欢Wendy喜欢的东西这些行为都是装出来的，
所以是pretended。
6.【答案】however【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--逻辑”
前一句说骗子被逮捕了，Wendy拿回了她的钱。后面一句说很多人没有这么幸运，这两句是相反的情
况，所以是转折关系，所以填however。
7.【答案】Never【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联--逻辑”
这个句子有个逗号，有个 and，所以是个并列句，所以前后句子结构一样，后面一句是祈使句，所以
前一句也是。“当网聊时 N____给出你的个人信息。”很明显，这里是要告诫人们不要透露个人信息，
所以这里是 Never。句子开头所以大写。
Passage 25【2012静安一模】
细读首段，这篇文章讲的是拥有好的记忆力。
1.【答案】minutes 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“固定搭配”
【解析】“Spend a few m______on”，我们知道和 spend 搭配的多半是时间和金钱，在这句中的后面有个
“keep in mind”，结合文章主题“记忆力”，所以说的是记住东西的时间的多少，所以填 minutes。
2.【答案】really 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句话的主语是用了一个定语从句，从句说的是“被说成是记忆力差的人”，再看后一句，“他们
只是不花时间去关注细节”。所以这些人不是真的有记忆问题。所以填 really。
3.【答案】practise 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】句首一个词“exercise”其实暗示了这个空格填什么，根据句意，你可以做的一个小练习是 p____
记忆一连串东西。既然是练习，所以记忆一连串东西是需要反复操练的，所以是 practise。
4.【答案】games 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句句子里推荐了更多的几种锻炼记忆力的活动。第一个是猜谜，第三种是学一种新的语言，
第二种是 Word g____，这个我们学生可能不是很熟悉，如果玩过的话可能知道，是一种填词游
戏，国外很 popular 的一种游戏，所以是 Word games。
5.【答案】tired 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—词义复现”
【解析】看这个空的后面半句和后一句。当你 t_____，也许你的注意力会不那么集中。找到方法释放压
力，那么你的大脑会变得更清醒并且随时会有新的 i_____。“释放压力”，也就是说当你压力大
的时候大脑就会不太好使，所以前面这个词是压力大的，劳累的，tired。
6.【答案】idea/information 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】紧接着上一个空的讲解，当你压力释放了之后，大脑会很清醒，而且会随时有新的 i_____。我
们知道当大脑轻松的时候是思维最活跃的时候，容易迸发出新的想法、新的信息，不像劳累的
时候，大脑像一潭死水。所以这里是随时有新的 ideas/information。
7.【答案】repair或者reduce 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】关键词是该空后面的 damage。根据句意，你需要足够的睡眠时间来使你的脑细胞 r___工作带来
的损伤。睡眠是好的，所以这个动词肯定是一件好事，然后与损伤联系在一起，只有修复损伤
或者减少损伤。所以是 repair 或者 reduce。
47
Passage 26【2012 普陀一模】
首先细读首句，这篇文章讲的是人类的好朋友——狗。
1.【答案】obey 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】狗是忠诚的，有趣的并且有爱的。它们几乎从不抱怨而且一直 o____它们的主人。不抱怨、忠
诚，所以自然是遵从自己的主人了，所以填 obey。
2.【答案】alone【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】句子中有一个关键词 than，表示对比，所以看对比的前半部分是那些有狗陪伴的人，对比后半
部分是 live a___的人，前者比后者更快乐和健康。所以很明显，前者是有陪伴的，后者相对的
就是没有陪伴的，即一个人的，所以是 alone。
3.【答案】provide 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】这句句子有个关键的结构“not only but also”，这个结构所连接的两部分是并列的，所以 not only
后面是 offer 情感支持，but also 后面是 p____帮助，offer 是给予，后面当然也是同类词，给予
帮助，所以 p 开头的只有 provide。
4.【答案】Behind 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】这个句子其实是个 there be 句型，只是把 there is 放在了句子后面，所以如果我们放回来就是 there
is a story b_____every dog lover。很明显“b_____every dog lover”作的是状语，且 there be 句型强
调某地有某物，所以状语是地点状语。所以这里需要一个表地点方位的介词，根据句意，每个
“every dog lover”的背后都有一个故事，所以是 behind。
5.【答案】relationship 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个空的关键一个是后面的 between，一个是后文理解。首先，他研究的是狗和人类之间的 r____
（注意 between，表示两者之间），其次，根据后文，他采访了很多人，他们都说他们对狗的依
赖甚至超过了亲人，所以他所研究的是狗和人之间的关系。Relationship。
6.【答案】Everyone或everybody 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】前文说他采访了很多人，然后 E____wants to talk about their dogs。这里注意 wants，用了第三人
称单数，所以主语是个表示单数的名词，再看后面 their，表示很多人，所以主语又可以表示很
多人，加上前后文联系，这个主语指代的就是他采访的那些人，所以不难想到这个词是 everybody
或者 everyone。
7.【答案】deeper 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】这个空首先确定是填形容词，因为在 was 后面，且用来修饰 sadness，sadness 本身是一种情绪
了，所以修饰的话就是修饰它的程度，d 开头的无非就是深深的难过，即 deep，然后看到 much
要想到这个词填的是比较级，所以是 deeper。
Passage 27【2011闵行一模】
首先细读首句，文章讲的是主人公经历的一场火灾。
1.【答案】shouted 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这个句子是一连串动作，形象地写出主人公当时的真实反应。Jumped out of bed，opened the door
48
and s_____out into the passage。所以这个空肯定和前面两个一样，是一个动词过去式。且通过细
读首句也会发现“Fire ！Fire ！”这就是惊呼，所以此处 shouted out 表示惊呼、尖叫，对应前文。
2.【答案】thicker 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】第一段最后有一句“It was full of thick smoke”。所以这里不难想到，也是说烟的，肯定是 thick，
但是原先已经有很浓的烟了，这里用 grew 要表达的一种变化趋势，所以是变得更浓了，所以用
比较级，thicker。
3.【答案】like【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这里说他手里的东西 l_____一捆衣服，根据后文我们知道这个东西其实是个孩子。所以这里是
好像一捆衣服，所以是 like。
4.【答案】terribly 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”&“语法”
【解析】首先这个空填的是一个副词，句子去掉这个空是完整的，所以这里是个副词，修饰 burned，火
都烧到我的脚底了，这种情况肯定是很严重很糟糕的，所以形容烧得严重或者糟糕，有个 t 开
头的词最适合，terribly。
5.【答案】surprise 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—情感”
【解析】前一句说我手里的“衣服”突然间发出了哭声，这时候我肯定是吓了一跳，所以我几乎把它掉在
地上。所以这个空表达的是我的吃惊，in my surprise。
6.【答案】arms 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联”
【解析】这句话说这个女人拿走冒烟的包裹 out of my a_____，根据前文，这个包裹就是我手里一直拿着
的“衣服”，所以是从我的手里，即手臂里拿走，填 arms，注意抱着的时候是用两条手臂抱的，
所以复数。
7.【答案】saved 【秘籍】瞻前顾后之“上下文关联—逻辑”
【解析】文章到最后作者及读者才知道，原来这个包裹不是衣服，而是一个婴儿。所以我已经 s___了她
的宝宝，我是个英雄。我把婴儿带出火场，所以大家误以为我救了这个孩子，所以这里是 saved。

1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______

（2）还是用“近”的方法，关键在于此句中 cleaning，are ____ doing，这个词组我们就立刻可以想到 be busy

（3）to 是表示目的，目的是为了迎新，故就填 welcome（wait 这个词后面是要跟 for 的哦，所以此处不能

（6）“Happy New Year”与 greetings 属于同类，都是表示问好，所以用 and 连接

（1）通过这个空格，大家很容易判断在逗号前常出现的就是转折副词 However 然而，我们在将结合上下

（5）have been t_____，这个结构中很容易看出是一个时态的结构，在 be 动词后如果跟现在分词表示进行，

（6）Dreams can d__(6)__ quickly from memory. 在 can 情态动词之后应该跟动词原形，所以（6）应该填的

（2）根据比较连词 than，这里应该填的是一个形容词的比较级（be+形容词），而前面有 more 这个形容词

（4）疑问词+不定式的结构，因为 do 后应跟的是宾语，所以应该用 what to do，句意是你不得不在很短的

（6）词组 get hurt，if 这个连词引导的是条件性状语从句，如果你在电脑前坐很长的时间，你的手、背和

（7）从句意进行判断：孩子们不应该用电脑超过 30 分钟没有休息的情况下，这里应该填 without 这个介

（2）Nowadays, a computer mouse is a standard p __(2)__ of a computer. 结合整句句意来看，这里对于 standard
