  Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know 36 : “Is my boy 37 or he is dead?” He dug for eight hours … 12 hours…36 hours…then , in  38  hour , he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s 39 . He screamed his son’s name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad!?! It’s me, Dad! I told other kids not to worry.  I told them that if you were alive, you 40 me and 41 you saved me, they’d be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!’ You did it, Dad!”

  “What’s going on in there? ”the father asked

“There are 14 of  us  42  43  33,Dad. We’re scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you are here. When the building collapsed, it made  44  , and it saved us.”

試題分析:

【小題1】            分詞考察: only to do sth.“結(jié)果卻,不料”,作結(jié)果狀語,表示該結(jié)果在主語的預(yù)料之外;如:He hurried to the station, only to find his friend picked up by others. 現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語,表示由主句所產(chǎn)生的邏輯上的結(jié)果。如:His father died, making his family worse-off.  realize在腦海里經(jīng)過思維“認(rèn)識到,了解”;find在表面上就能“發(fā)現(xiàn), 看出”。

【小題2】           詞語辨析考察:這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是英語成語,根據(jù)本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判斷,選擇A項(xiàng), “像煎餅一樣扁平”。

【小題3】           上下文邏輯考察:從意義上判斷,“他想起了他曾對他兒子許下的諾言”;memorized是“背誦,熟記”。

【小題4】           句子結(jié)構(gòu)考察:從結(jié)構(gòu)上分析,該句是省略了謂語動詞的省略句,省略謂語之后,意義仍然清楚,如不省略動詞,則使用第三人稱單數(shù)happens。從意義上分析,可排除C、D項(xiàng)。

【小題5】           詞語辨析考察:表示“流淚”,這幾個(gè)動詞都可能表示這種意義,但句式搭配不同,其表現(xiàn)形式分別為Tears fill his eyes;Tears come into his eyes;He bursts into tears。

【小題6】           上下文邏輯考察:從上下文意義判斷,“他不停地想起他對他兒子許下的諾言”。

【小題7】           詞語辨析考察:動詞和動詞短語是完形填空設(shè)項(xiàng)的重點(diǎn)之一。此題要分清這四項(xiàng)的不同含義。dig及物動詞,“掘(土),挖”;dig through“(為找……)在……里挖掘”;dig out “發(fā)掘出”  dig into“鉆研”。

【小題8】            句子結(jié)構(gòu)考察:從結(jié)構(gòu)上分析,應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語,用and則表示并列,用said。

【小題9】            動詞短語辨析考察:Come out出現(xiàn);出版;結(jié)果是;Come again回來;重新趕上去; Come on表示勸說,不耐煩,意為“得啦!,來!”,可用Come, Come,代替;Come off舉行,成功;表現(xiàn);脫離

【小題10】       詞義辨析考察: 從詞義上判斷one line“一句話(臺詞)”,A項(xiàng)中的one word干擾性較大,它表示“一個(gè)詞”,如用words 是正確的。

【小題11】        介詞短語辨析考察:“介詞+反身代詞”有固定含義,for oneself獨(dú)自地,親自;by oneself單獨(dú)地;of oneself自行地,自動地;to oneself 對(著)自己。

【小題12】       詞義辨析考察:這四個(gè)詞都有“活著的”之意,live僅用作定語,作表語用living ,alive 。living和alive在意義上有細(xì)微差別,living可作定語和表語,含有“本以為死了,然而還活著”,又如:I can’t believe my first teacher is still living。alive作表語和后置定語,其含義與dead相對應(yīng)。lively“生動的,活躍的”。

【小題13】        數(shù)詞考察:“在第38小時(shí)的時(shí)候,……”,序數(shù)詞之前要用定冠詞。

【小題14】        詞義辨析考察:注意這四個(gè)詞的區(qū)別:sound “(各種)聲音” ;voice “(人們說話的)嗓音” noise“(不悅耳的)嘈音”;tone“(人們說話的)語氣,語調(diào)”。

【小題15】        句式結(jié)構(gòu)考察:這是表將來的虛擬語氣,主句中用would +動詞原形,從下文的句子中也能找到類似的句子。

【小題16】        上下文邏輯考察:從意義上判斷,“如果你來救我,他們也會得救!笔菞l件狀語從句,應(yīng)該用if 引導(dǎo),然而選項(xiàng)中沒有if,when與if同義,引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。even if 引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。

【小題17】        詞語搭配考察:此題包含一個(gè)固定句型:There are … Left/remaining. “還有……剩余下來”。

【小題18】        數(shù)詞表達(dá)考察:14 …out of 33 意為:33人中有14人活下來。out of “從……里面”。特別注意此題中的介詞與前面的left沒有任何聯(lián)系。如果沒有意識到這點(diǎn),極可能會選錯(cuò)。

【小題19】       上下文邏輯考察:從意義上判斷,“房屋倒塌時(shí),自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room; make space 意為“(有意識地)為(某人,某物)……騰出空間”。make room for me,please.

【小題20】       上下文邏輯考察:從上下文意義判斷,此句為原因狀語從句。 No matter what happens, I know you’ll always be there for me!不管發(fā)生什么事,我知道你總會在我身邊。

考點(diǎn):主要涉及考點(diǎn)上下文邏輯,詞義辨析和句式結(jié)構(gòu)。

點(diǎn)評:

本文是一篇故事情節(jié)較強(qiáng)的記敘文。文章講述了“父親如何履行自己曾對兒子許下的諾言”,故事生動、感人,極富吸引力。記事性記敘文相對而言,難度不大,考生容易把握文意,通過理解主題句,按照記敘文的基本要素理清文章的主題、背景、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件經(jīng)過等,把握文章的發(fā)展方向,就能順利達(dá)到“完形”的目的。

   記敘文做題指導(dǎo): 通讀全文,理解大意。重視首句信息,跳過空格,瀏覽全文,從整體上感知全文,理解文章大意,這是解題的基礎(chǔ)。

    復(fù)讀全文,解決殘敵。借助已經(jīng)補(bǔ)全的空格,我們對全文有了更清楚的理解,可以集中解決所遺留的少數(shù)疑難問題。

The Man of Many Secrets — Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes — from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.
  Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.
  Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.
  It was the publicity(宣傳) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chins. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck — and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.
  Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? World-wild fame, and a name remembered today.
【小題1】According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on _______.

A.his special tricks and supernatural powerB.his unusual ability and a skeleton key
C.his magic tricks and supernatural powersD.his wisdom and magic tricks
【小題2】In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to _______.
A.his first prison escapeB.the year 1898
C.the publicityD.Harry Houdini’s success
【小題3】It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous _______.
A.in 1894B.before he married
C.a(chǎn)t the age of 17D.when he was about 24
【小題4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Skeleton KeyB.A Man of Many Secrets
C.World-wild FameD.Great Escape

Today many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work.
One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didn’t know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, But it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact? Marie Curie thought that there must be another source of radiation in this material.
In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, And one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation.
Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.
【小題1】The scientists of Marie Curie’s day knew .

A.that uranium gave off radiation
