　高考英语语法填空答题技巧

　一、已给单词提示题型的技巧

　此类题可以考查学生对单词形式变化的掌握程度。单词形式变化主要有两种，一是词的形、数、式的变化，一是词的派生变化。在判断出词的变化之后还应该进一步审题，看是否需要使用复合的变化形式，这一点是很重要的。

　技巧一：名词形式变化。

　名词的形式变化主要有单数、复数、所有格的变化。

　例：There are many students living at school，the(child) houses are all far from schoo1.

　由students一词可以判断出横线处应填复数，且作为houses的定语，所以应用其所有格形式，故答案为child的复合变化形式 复数的所有格children?s。

　技巧二：动词形式变化。

　动词的形式变化比较多，有谓语的变化(时态、语态、语气)，有非谓语的变化(不定式、动名词、现在分词、过去分词)。

　例：A talk(give) tomorrow is written by Professor Zhang.

　句中的is written是整句的谓语，所以横线所在的动词应当用作非谓语。从tomorrow可以看出，报告是?将来?作的，故用不定式;且报告是give动作的承受者，故可以判断出横线所在处用give的不定式被动式to be given。

　技巧三：代词形式变化。

　代词形式变化通常是与人称变化有关的三大类五小类，即人称代词(主格和宾格)、物主代词(形容词性和名词性)、反身代词。另外还有几个不定代词的形式变化，如no one/none、other/another等。

　例：The king decided to see the painter by(he).

　由介词by可以看出，横线处应填反身代词himself。

　技巧四：形容词、副词比较级变化。

　英语中大部分形容词和表方式的副词都有原级、比较级和最高级的变化。构成比较级和最高级的方式，或通过加后缀一er和.est，或在词前Imore/less和most/least，且形容词的最高级还要冠以the。

　例：I am (tall)than Liu Wen.He is the tallest students in my class.

　此题后句交代了LiuWen是班上最高的学生，那?我?肯定比他矮，所以不能用taller，只能用表示程度不如的?less tall?。

　技巧五：数词形式变化。

　数词的形式变化包括基数词、序数词，或加后缀一teen、ty的变化，甚至还有作分母用的序数词的单复数形式，以及one/two的特殊变化形式 once/twice

　例：To my three sons I leave my seventeen horses.My eldest son shall take a half，my second son shall take a (three).

　从上下文连续起来理解，这是一个分马的计划，大儿子分得a half，也就是?一半?或?二分之一?，那么二儿子应该得?三分之一?，所以要填入作分母的序数词?third?才能命中目标。

　技巧六：词的派生。

　词的派生现象在英语单词中是很常见的，派生现象主要发生在名词、动词、形容词、副词四种词中。这种题型还有可能检测学生对词根、前后缀、派生词的掌握。

　例：Lious lost his wallet yesterday，SO he was very____(happiness).

　在这道题中，学生很容易判断出该用形容词;钱包丢了，人应该是不开心的，所以要再加个前缀un，就成了unhappy。

2017状元桥高考一轮总复习英语答案

说到完形填空，本人当年的分数还是不错的，当时也比较得心应手，哈哈。不知道大家对完形填空会不会重视，其实它的占比还是很大的，属于中等偏上的难度。据数据统计，即便超过100分的考生，完形填空的准确率大部分也只有50%，或者更低。

其实在课堂上老师分享过过很多解题方法，但这些方法都是传统的也是必备的方法，配合另外一些方法才能提高准确率。

高考英语完形填空的核心主要考察3点，我来和大家好好聊聊。

一、词汇

我觉得英语完形填空最重要的还是词汇的掌握，这种题一般考察的就是实义词，包括名词、形容词、副词。出题方向包括其同义词、反义词、易混词等。经常出现的考察点是，动词搭配不同的介词，会有不同释义。如果看到这类题，需要想明白词汇的意思，避免模棱两可的情况发生。

举例：

We will look out for each other and that's how we will ____ this difficulty.

A.get away B.get off

C.get out ? D.get through

get away：离开；逃脱

get off：脱下；动身去某地

get out：离开；出去

get through：度过，熬过（困难时期等）

明白这几个词的意思肯定是第一步，接着要看原文的提示，由此能看出，这个词组后的名词是difficulty，根据句意，选D，意思是我们彼此照料，这便是我们渡过难关的方式。

二、语法

语法是完形填空的主要考察点，总结一些完形填空主要考察的语法内容：

名词词形：单复数变形，名词的可数和不可数；

动词词形：包括动词的时态，语态，语气，分词，动名词，不定式等结构；

词组搭配：这要看平常的积累了，如果遇到要注意了；

主谓一致：语法一致原则、意义一致原则、就近原则；

比较级：重视形容词、副词的比较形式的应用、冠词以及不定代词。

这部分其实整体不算很难，但需要很熟悉，平时要多积累、多总结，把常用常考的部分记在笔记本上，方便复习。

举例：

Ask your friends or parents to save_____envelopes for you.

A.used ? B.using

C.wasted ? D.good

让你的朋友或父母为你保留____信封。因为能判断，肯定是填使用过的，而use的分词used是形容词，使用过的；动名词using则没有形容词的词性，可以判断这题选A。

三、语意

这是完形填空的考察重点，要求大家对整体有全面的了解，其实就是文章的中心思想，每道题的答案基本都会指向这个中心思想。读懂文章的中心思想，就能提高答题准确率。

很多人还是懵的，其实英文文章有个简单的现象，90％的文章和段落都是总分结构。由此可以推断，一篇文章第一段第一句，往往就是文章中心意思；而某个段落首句，基本就是该段落主题。高考英语完形填空，通常第一段第一句就是文章中心意思，大家看懂第一句，一般就能知道整篇文章的发展脉络了。

说到这，大家还要明白一点，完形填空的几大类型，主要分为：议论文、说明文以及记叙文。

议论文和说明文一般是这样的套路，第一段第一句说明一种情况，然后开始举例，证明这种情况的存在；而记叙文第一句就是讲故事，接着分叉，一是畅通无阻的路线，二是历经磨难的路线。不管哪种，最后都成功了。

这里就不举例了，这样说还是很好理解的。

三大框架之下，其实还能延伸很多，下面为大家延伸一些常用的技巧：

and前后有同义词，but前后有反义词

任何包含有and的句子，不管有没有空，一定要找到and并列的两个词。特别是空出来的句子，如果有and，就找and后紧接着的那个词的同义词，一般就是答案。还有含but的句子，前后肯定意思相反，很多时候but前后找反义词，答案就是它。

比如2017年全国卷1完形填空：I myself went through this ___41___process and found something that has changed my___42___ at college for the better.

41. A. searching B. planing C. natural D. formal

这个题and后的词为found，那么A选项中searching为同义词，答案就是A。

遇到生词猜加删

如果是动词，统译为：做、整、搞、来、去、在（哪个通顺用哪个），然后猜动词的意思；如果是名词，统译为：某人、某物、某事；如果是形容词副词，删掉不看。

比如2015年全国卷2完形填空：But it may well be that the learning you really want ___22___ somewhere else instead.

22. A. passed B. works C. lies D. ends

副词well删掉，really删掉，else删掉，instead删掉。然后翻译为：但是这可能是那样的，那个学习你想要的______某个地方。空格是动词，主语是“那个学习”，宾语是“某个地方“，空格填“在”比较合适。passed是路过，works是工作，lies是躺着，ends是结束，最接近“在”的意思那只能是躺着了，答案选C。

理清逻辑关系

这主要涉及句子长的语言单位，比如句群、段落、篇章等。因为它们之间肯定有内在联系的词语，这些词叫作“语篇标志”。（这里要注意上文中的转折词及连词等）。

比如2014课标II卷：Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Andes mountains .They reached the top 41____ ,but on their way back conditions were very 42___ .

41. A. hurriedly B. carefully C. successfully D. early

这里连词but提示上下文存在转折关系，下文提到Joe在回来的路上摔伤了腿，那么回程肯定困难，登顶成功(successfully)

真的无解看首段

有时我们会遇到实在没办法的题目，这时候不要慌，赶紧看看首段首句，这就是文章的主题、大背景。在选择选项的时候，再想一想，填什么词能把主题说清楚，如果这个单词放在句子后后可以和第一段第一句相呼应，一般就是答案。

这里就不举例了，还是比较容易理解的。

总体来看，想要提升完形填空的准确率，还是要熟能生巧，因为过犹不及，希望大家能打牢基础，再结合上面为大家总结的方法，一定可以拿一个高分的。

　阅读是外语学习者获取语言知识和提高语言能力的主要途径,阅读理 解能力是衡量学习者外语水平的重要指标。一起做一下阅读理解训练吧。下面是我为大家推荐的2017高考英语真题阅读理解总结，仅供大家参考!

　2017高考英语真题阅读理解总结一

　I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn?t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

　Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

　Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl?s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn?t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

　1. The story took place exactly ____ .

　A. in the teacher?s office B. in an exam room

　C. in the school D. in the language lab

　2. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .

　A. she had not brought a pen with her B. she had lost her own on her way to school

　C. there was something wrong with her wn D. her own had been taken away by someone

　3. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____ .

　C. to leave the room immediately D. to stay behind after the exam

　4. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____ .

　5. The boy knew everything ____ .

　A. the moment he was asked to stay behind B. when the teacher started talking about honesty

　C. only some time later D. when he was walking out of the room

　I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn?t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

　我发现一个时间，做一个人能给你带来很多麻烦。当时我在第八年级，我们有一个最后的考验。在测试期间，坐在我旁边的女孩低声说了些什么，但我不明白。我倚在她的方式，发现她想问我是否有额外的笔。她发现她是我的墨水用完，不会写。我碰巧有一个额外的，所以我把它从我的口袋里，放在她的办公桌上。

　Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

　后来，已经变成了试卷，老师让我呆在房间里时，所有其他的学生被开除。当我们单独在一起，她开始跟我谈什么是成长;她说，站在自己的两只脚，并负责是多么重要(负责任)为自己的行为。很长一段时间，她谈到诚实，并强调这一事实，当人们做一些不诚实的，他们真的欺骗自己。她让我保证，我会认真考虑所有的事情她说，然后她告诉我我可以离开。我走出房间问她为什么选择了跟我说所有这些事情。

　Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl?s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn?t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

　后来，我发现她认为我在考试中作弊了。当她看到我瘦了跟我旁边的女孩，好像我是从复制的女孩的试卷答案。我试图解释的笔，但她可以说是它似乎非常奇怪，她说我还没有谈到任何关于笔的一天，她跟我就在考试后。即使我试图解释说我只是做女孩的忙，让她用我的笔，我相信她仍然认为，我在考试中作弊了。

　To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

　Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class： he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

　The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn?t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher?s work and the actor?s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.

　A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play： they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don?t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

　I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

　1. What is the text about ?

　A. How to become a good teacher.

　B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.

　C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other.

　D. The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teacher?s work and an actor?s.

　2. The word ?audience? in the fourth paragraph means ____ .

　A. students B. people who watch a play

　C. people who not on the stage D. people who listen to something

　3. A good teacher ____ .

　A. knows how to hold the interest of his students B. must have a good voice

　C. knows how to act on the stage D. stands or sits still while teaching

　4. In what way is a teacher?s work different from an actor?s ?

　A. The teacher must learn everything by heart .

　B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor .

　C. He has to deal with unexpected situations .

　D. He has to use more facial expressions .

　5. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____.

　A. students can move around in the classroom

　B. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn?t

　C. no memory work is needed for the students

　D. the students must take part in their teachers? plays

　6. Why is it that some good teachers are unable to play well on the stage ?

　A. Nobody has taught them how to act on the stage .

　B. Their audiences are different .

　C. It is impossible for them to do so much memory work .

　D. They are not used to repeating exactly the same words .

　7. Which of the following is true ?

　A. Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class .

　B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class .

　C. A teacher must speak louder than an actor .

　D. A teacher must have a better memory than an actor .

　To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

　要成为一个好老师，你需要一些好演员的天赋;你必须能够抓住观众的注意力和兴趣;你必须是一个明确的扬声器，具有良好的，强有力的，悦耳的声音完全在你的控制之下;你必须能够按照你的教学，以明确其含义。

　Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class： he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

　看一个好老师，你会看到，他不坐他的课前，他代表整个时间他是教学;他走，用他的胳膊，手和手指来帮助他解释，他的脸表达感情。听他的，你会听到声音，质量(音色)和音乐注意到他的声音总是按照他所说的。

　The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn?t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher?s work and the actor?s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.

　事实上，一个好老师有一些好演员并不意味着礼物，他一定能够在舞台上表演好，有教师和演员的工作的。他说的话他熟记于心的很重要的差别;他必须准确地重复同样的话每次他扮演某个角色，甚至他的动作，他用自己的发音方式都是事先确定的(预先)。他所要做的是让这些用心学习的言语和行动似乎自然的舞台上。

　A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play： they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don?t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

　一个好老师的工作相当不同的方式。他的听众积极参与他的表演：他们提问和回答问题，他们服从命令，如果他们不理解的东西，他们这么说。老师必须满足听众的需要，这是他的学生。他不能了解他的心，但必须把它作为他走。

　I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

　我知道有许多老师在课堂上是优秀的演员却不能在舞台上扮演角色，因为他们不能严格按照别人所写的。

　2017高考英语改革后实行一年两考，可多次参加，我认为对自己有信心的.同学可以早点参加，取得理想的成绩后就可以把学习重心放到其他科目上。为了帮助大家备考，我整理了一些高考英语阅读理解，希望能帮到大家!

　history

　If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.

　It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write.For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa. because they had not learned to write. Sometimes.of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call ?remembered history?.Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful.

　41. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?

　A.?Remembered history?，compared with written history，is less reliable

　A.there was nothing worth being written down at that time

　B .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record

　C.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire

　D.the people there did not know how to write

　43.?Remembered history?refers to

　A.history based on a person?s imagination

　B .stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth

　C .songs and dances about the most important events

　D .both B and C

　44.?Remembered history?is regarded as valuable only when

　A. it is written down

　B .no written account is available

　C.it proves to be time

　D.people are interested in it

　land produces

　Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业)，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large.Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any more.Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each?a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France.The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day.As the rush to live out of town continues.rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.

　Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I?ve ever had: Be bold and brave ? and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.

　Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

　Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas ? even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

　Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. ?In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,? said Tim. ?I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet ? and stopped him cold.?

　Boldness ? a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme?is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

　So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities?and you?ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

　25. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

　A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces.

　C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success.

　26. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

　A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.

　C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.

　27. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

　A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless.

　C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little.

　C

　The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in return?now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores?Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance?you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.

　Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction(抽象) of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit incredible that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼)of an eye? Doesn't a wallet?that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness?represent something that matters?

　But I'll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet?the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets?is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble(鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.
