2020 年高三英语之纠错笔记:完形填空
易错点 1 熟词生义掌握不全面
1.He looked surprised, but got right to work, trying to find the _________ tire.
A. spare B. free C. full D. empty
【错因分析】spare 熟义是“抽出时间”。
【试题解析】在这篇文章中,spare 意为“备用的”。
【参考答案】 A
2. Not too long ago, an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly. A guest told
the front-desk clerk
she had had a wonderful vacation, but was heartbroken about losing several rolls of Kodak
color film she had not
yet _________.
A. developed B. taken C. washed D. loaded
【错因分析】develop 熟义是“发展”。
【试题解析】film 在此意为“胶片”,故选 A,develop 意为“冲印”。
【参考答案】A
所谓“熟词生义”就是指有些词尽管我们认识,但出现在完形填空或者阅读理解中如果运用常见的含
义来理解的话,会导致理解错误、文不对题、不知所云,这时我们就要换个角度运用这个词的特殊含义来
理解。平时要注意这些“熟词生义”的练习、巩固、背诵。
Just the other day, a fierce storm hit our community. I looked out the window and witnessed
a tree being ________ by the fierce winds.
A. crushed B. abused C. broken D. removed【解析】abuse 的熟义“谩骂,虐待”,但在文中是“摧残,蹂躏”。
【答案】 B
易错点 2 忽视语境关系
A Heroic Driver
Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc. One morning in 2009, Larry was 41 along 165 north
after delivering to one of his customers.
41. A. walking B. touring C. traveling D. rushing
【错因分析】 考生容易忽视语境关系盲目选择自认为正确的某个选项。
【试题解析】 根据 Larry 的工作性质和下文的 deliver 可知他送完货后应该是开着车沿着公路行驶。故用
travel 表示“(以某速度、朝某方向或在某距离内)行进”,而 walk“步行”,rush“快速运输,速送”,tour
“观光旅行”,在此均不符合语境。
【参考答案】 C
巧用语境推测法
近几年高考英语完形填空题的最大特点是重点考查语境理解。所谓语境,就是指文章上下文之间的联
系,它包括文章语气的一致性、意思的连贯性、表述的合理性、论证的逻辑性等。正因为完形填空题主要
考查考生对语境的理解能力,所以空格的前后多有暗示(后文暗示前文的居多)。考生在做题时,一定要从
整体上把握文章的内容,弄清文章的结构和文章的内在逻辑关系,结合语境辨析所给选项,从中选出最符
合语境的选项。
During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her
large apartment, I became aware of how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil
herself. It was then that I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on balancing
family and work. A. comfortable B. expensive C. empty D. modern
【解析】很多考生由于忽略了上下文的语境而误选 A、D 项。 由下文的 “how lonely my mother must
have been”可知,作者看到的是母亲住在空旷的公寓中。【答案】C
【名师点睛】
完形填空中,若每题单独考虑,四个选项几乎均可成立,但完形填空考查的是在具体语境中对上下段、
上下句乃至全文的整体理解和运用。考生往往只见树木不见森林,忽略对上下文的全面考虑而草率误选某
一选项。
完形填空所选文章是一个完整的语篇,因此考生在做题时必须结合上下文语境进行综合考虑。考生在
平时做题时应该把握好文章的主线和上下文的内在联系。
易错点 3 忽视背景关系
It had been a year since Susan became blind. As the result of an accident she was suddenly
thrown into a world of darkness. Susan’s husband Mark watched her sink into hopelessness and
he was determined to use every possible means to help his wife.
Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus,
but she now too frightend to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to ride the bus with
Susan each morning and evening untill she could make it herself.
For two weeks, Mark accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to
rely on her other , specially her hearing to determine where she was and how to
adapt to her new environment.
A. feelings B. organs C. skills D. senses
【错因分析】做此题时,考生很容易忽视前文的特定语境而误选。
【试题解析】本文讲述的是 Susan 丧失了视力,即成了一个盲人,因此她丈夫教她依靠别的“感官”,尤其
是听觉来判断事情。
【参考答案】D
在解答这类完形填空时,考生要善于利用背景知识,也就是说利用文章所提供的上下文语境来解题。
本文是围绕一个盲人来写的,这就是一个特定的背景。
After ______ the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves before theystarted the 950-mile journey back.
A. growing B. putting C. planting D. laying
【解析】根据常识,南极地区冰雪覆盖,须费好大的劲将旗插进极地,plant 在这里的意思是“安插”“插
牢”。
【答案】C
易错点 4 忽视逻辑关系
1. That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother allows me
to sleep in. And I
would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning, _________, I felt like
getting us early.
A. otherwise B. therefore C. however D. besides
【错因分析】 考生可能会因弄不清空格所在处上下文的关系而误选。
【试题解析】 该题后面的“getting us early”和前面的“sleep in”在行文上形成了对比,前后文之间为
转折关系,故用 however。
【参考答案】 C
2. …My brother fans his friends were all fans…they all bought tickets for the performance.
However, at the last minute, one of the friends couldn’t go, so my brother ________ me the
ticket. I was really excited!
A. booked B. offered C. returned D. found
【错因分析】 so 表示前后两部分存在因果关系,如果不注意这点就容易出现错误。
【试题解析】 前面讲到哥哥和他的朋友买了音乐会的票,准备去听音乐会,但最后时刻其中一个朋友去不
了了,故可判断出哥哥把朋友的那张票给了我。offer“提供,供应”,符合语境。
【参考答案】B
考生在做这类题目时一定要很好的把握上下文的逻辑关系,掌握常见的几种表示转折、让步、条件、
因果、并列等逻辑关系的词,再根据上下文语境判断出最佳答案。1. Vitamins are similar because they are made of the same elements—usually carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen,
and ________ nitrogen. They are different in that their elements are arranged differently, and
each vitamin
performs one or more specific functions in the body.
A. mostly B. partly C. sometimes D. rarely
【解析】短文中的 usually 和 and 是本题逻辑推理的线索。And 前后构成了并列关系,即 and 前的 usually
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen 这些维生素成分和 and 后面的 nitrogen 成分形成并列关系,相应修饰
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen 的 usually 必然和修饰 nitrogen 的 45 空的词构成一一对应的逻辑关系。鉴
于此,在空格处考虑填入的应是和 usually 相对应的频度副词,而语义与 usually 略有不同。mostly 和 partly
都表示了部分、量的含义,与频度无关。rarely(很少地,罕有地)虽表示了频度关系,但其意义与 usually
相反,不符合一一对应的一致性,因此排除。只有 C 项 sometimes(不时,有时)恰到好处地表示了 and
前后两部分的逻辑对应。
【答案】C
2. Not everyone sees that process in perspective. It is important to do so.
It is generally recognized, _____, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th
century, followed by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed
the process, although its impact in the media was not immediately apparent.
A. indeed B. hence C. however D. therefore
【解析】这里有两种情况,第一可能是第二段前后的逻辑体现;第二就是段落的前后衔接。但是,这个题
出现在第二段的第一句 ,那么,从完形填空注重逻辑关系的命题思路来看,我们优先考虑第二种情况。前
段末句意为“不是每个人都能够正确看待这个进程”。而第二段首句为“大家普遍认为”,显然这两者之
间存在了逻辑意义上的相反,此处可能体现了一种转折关系。
【答案】C
易错点 5 忽视逻辑关系
One afternoon, my son Adam asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different
in color?”
I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I’ll explain, if you can just wait until we make aquick stop at the grocery store. I have something 1 to show you. ”
At grocery store, we bought some apples —red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told
Adam, “It’s time to answer your question.” I put one apple of each 26 on the table. Then I
looked at Adam, who had a 2 look on his face.
1. A. expressive B. encouraging
C. informative D. interesting
2. A. worried B. satisfied
C. proud D. curious
【错因分析】做第 1 题时,考生容易脱离作者所要表达的思想情感而主观臆断,认为所展示之物一般都是
富有表现力的,从而误选 expressive。informative 也有很强的干扰性,由于此词比较生僻,往往让有些考
生举棋不定,最终误选此项;做第 2 题时,由于作者即将回答孩子先前提出的问题,而此时考生已经明白
作者想利用苹果加以阐释,并认为这是一个绝妙的想法,因而考生主观地认为孩子对这种方式感到非常“满
意”,从而误选 satisfied。
【试题解析】根据下文作者回答问题的方法以及孩子的反应可知,作者有一些有趣的东西要展示给孩子。
其实,孩子当时并不理解作者这样做的目的,所以很好奇。
【参考答案】1. D 2. D
阅读过程中,考生有事需要把握文章的语篇情感,尽量与作者的思想产生共鸣,正确理解作者所要表
达的思想情感或内心感受。
I was so surprised that I was speechless. My cousin must have made an effort to get himself
into shape. As a result, at the point in our game when I’d have predicted the score to be about
9 to 1 in my favor, it was ______7 to 9 and Ed was leading.
【解析】surprised 一词道出了情况的转折,我们可以看到这时作者用词的转变。made an effort,get into
shape 等这些褒义词的使用对这些空的选择起到了很好的引导作用。speechless, instead 都是由惊讶得
出的。
【答案】instead
易错点 6 忽视语法知识和习惯搭配
They told her to stay _________ until the emergency personnel arrived, but she thought thecar was going to explode…she should not move…
A. quiet B. still C. away D. calm
【错因分析】容易犯忽视习惯搭配型错误。本题考生不知道 stay till 为固定搭配以及其意思,盲目认为 still
只是用作副词,意为“仍然”。
【试题解析】根据下文的“she should not move”可知,此处表示他们告诉她要保持不动的状态,直到
救护人员到达。quiet 安静的;still 静止的;away 不在,离开;calm 沉着的。
【参考答案】B
Deeply touched by the boy’s words, Moody decided to create a foundation (基金会)that
introduces teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw 1
there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging 2 on the
kids,” says Moody.
1. A. where B. unless C. as D. whether
2. A. impression B. burden C. decision D impact
【解析】“凡是有暴力的地方,往往背后有毒品“,所以第 1 空处缺少一个地点状语的引导词,即 where;
该句承接上文,意为“毒品对孩子们的危害影响极大”,短语 have a damaging impact on sb.意为“对
某人有很坏的影响”。
【答案】1. A 2. D
完形填空的解题技巧:
1. 重视首句,要有推断意识
完形填空一般不给出标题,但首句往往不设置空,通常是一个完整的句子,它是全文的关键句,也是
主导句。考生要从这个窗口领悟文章的有用信息,根据有用信息推断文章的大意及主题,从此找到一个突
破口展开思维,准确答题。
2. 通读全文,要有作者意识
完形填空不是单项选择,它必须建立在理解文章的基础上,因此要通读全文,从语篇的整体内容出发,
根据具体语境,结合语言结构,全面考虑,把握文章的脉络,理解全文大意。在通读中,找出文章的主题,
尤其是作者的观点,要有作者意识,与作者达成共鸣,把握全局,理清思路,抓住主线,按照作者的思路
朝着正确的方向发展,根据特定情节,找到唯一正确的,合乎逻辑的答案。3. 瞻前顾后,要有结构意识
做完形填空题时首先要做到"瞻前顾后"。完形填空题的选项一般从语法角度来看都可以选,但必须
要根据文章前后的暗示词以及行文逻辑关系来选择。其次要注意词语用法上的细微差别,结合上下文辨析
词汇的内涵、外延、褒贬以及修辞色彩。还要有结构意识,根据句子结构中所需的词汇做出恰当的选择。
同时,也要注意一些惯用法,并结合英美生活常识等做出选择。
4. 反复推敲,要有纠错意识
填完所有空,还要复读一遍,从语法角度入手,仔细推敲时态、语态、语气、主谓一致、代词的格、
Ⅰ非谓语动词的形式、形容词和副词以及名词的搭配,要有大胆的纠错意识。而且,还要克服定时思维,
重视不同体裁的文章提供的任何细节,准确无误地做好完形填空题。

于语篇的上下文复现考查非常之多。 语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下
义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象,如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的
词汇同时出现,结构同现,同义同现,修饰同现,因果同现等。因此,利用上下文寻找解题信息,确定正
确答案。如:
I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his 52 from high school and remained the same
53 person I met forty years before .
53.A.daring B.modest C.caring D.smart
【分析】同义词同现,根据第二段第二句“He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情)”,
这里的 compassion 与选项中的 caring 虽然词性不同,但表达的是相同的意思,属于同义词同现。

颇深。
1.B 【解析】今天当作者和他的儿子要离开(leaving)一家饭馆的时候,他为几对年老的夫妇扶(held)着门
以便他们进出。下文中的"we’d had our lunch"是关键提示。

门",不符合语境。
3.A 【解析】根据上文中的"Just as I was about to let it go, I saw someone coming around the
corner "和下文的内容可知,正当作者准备松开门时,看到拐角处有人走过来,便继续扶着门等待
(waited)。故 A 项符合语境。approach"接近,靠近";depart"离开"。
4.D 【解析】根据上文中的"She saw my little boy and told me to go first. I told her to. . . on
vacation"可知,作者在度假并且刚吃过午饭,因此不着急,所以他让这个女孩先走。go ahead"
先走,先行"符合语境。back away"向后退";come over"来访,拜访";hold on "等一下,坚持下

all"毕竟,终究"符合语境。in other words"换句话说";as a result"结果";for example"比如,例如
"。
7.A 【解析】根据语境可知,自幼以来,作者就为别人扶着门,因为这是作者的妈妈教导(educated)他
的事情。since"自……之后,自……以来"在该句中引导时间状语从句。
8.B 【解析】参见上题解析。convince"说服,使确信"。inspire"激励,鼓舞";invest"投资"。9.D 【解析】现在作者做这件事是出于尊重(respect)。reputation"名誉,名声";curiosity "好奇心"。
10.A 【解析】根据文中的"Maybe people will say thanks, but most of them blow past"可知,
作者认为或许人们会对他表示感谢,但是大多数人只是(just)飞奔而过。
11.D 【解析】根据语境可知,大多数人面对作者的善举只是飞奔而过,就像世界欠(owes)了他们什么东
西或者他们能为忽视这一举动做出任何辩解一样。guarantee"保证";promise"保证,承诺";afford"
提供,买得起"。
12.C 【解析】参见上题解析。此处的"gesture"指作者为他人扶门的善举。entrance"入口";tolerance"
宽容";elegance"优雅,高贵"。
13.B 【解析】根据下文中的"a big smile, saying ‘Thank you’"可知,此处指这个女孩面带微笑向作

身踏上,着手进行";take up"开始从事,占用(时间、空间或精力)"。
14.D 【解析】这是一件很小的事情,甚至她可能没意识到(realize)这件事情的影响。doubt"怀疑";

地"符合语境。deliberately"故意地";frequently"经常地,频繁地";gradually"逐渐地"。
16.C 【解析】根据"It wasn’t until. . . walking past. . . a beautiful girl"可知,此处指直到这个女孩走到
门口与作者擦身而过,作者才发现她很漂亮。doorway"门口,门道"符合语境。
17.C 【解析】根据上文中的"I just got back from Florida, was dirty and"和下文中的"hadn’t even
showered yet"可知,作者刚从佛罗里达回来,不修边幅,甚至还未洗澡。故 untidy"不整洁的"与上
文中的"dirty"相呼应,符合语境。exhausted"筋疲力尽的";available"可用的,可获得的";
unprepared"无准备的"。
18.B 【解析】根据语境可知,作者在此想要表达的是这个女孩向他表达谢意并不是因为他的个人魅力。

外貌";character"性格";commitment"承诺,保证"。
Cloze 3In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and
to ever be 1 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit 2 . The only
solution is to reach 3 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner
yardstick. There is no more 4 measure for comparison than who you were yesterday, last
week or last decade, when you were at your 5 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. 6 you see yourself as better
than someone and you get 7 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like
all your hard work is for 8 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is 9 alike. The only direct and
honest comparison is 10 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 11 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 12
is the same as your own. Good luck finding that match. And one thing is for sure. No matter
how hard you work and how 13 you are, there will always be someone who can run a little
faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not,
you can 14 someone is coming up fast behind you. So how can you always win in life?
Become your best 15 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 16 you to the next
level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 17 if the guy next to you
did 15? It doesn ’ t make a bit of 18 . You are a more fit person today than you were
yesterday. Your own 19 is all you need.
If you 20 to a slightly higher standard of yourself every day, you will always be at the
top of your game.

【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。作者在文中论述了和别人比较没有意义。我们要和过去的自己比较,
用自己的内在标准衡量自己。
1. C 考查形容词词义辨析。patient 耐心的;strict 严格的;content 满意的;concerned 担心的。
由语境可 知,在这个充满对比的世界中,我们总是无法对自己满意。总是有人比我们好。故 C 选
项正确。
2. D 考查形容词词义辨析。strong 强壮的,结实的;wise 英明的;lazy 懒惰的;good 好的。结合上
题 解析可知,D 选项正确。

人们要 和自己过去比的话,应该是和过去最佳时期进行比较,故 B 选项正确。

题 解析可知,A 选项切题。8. B 考查名词(代词)。fun 乐趣;nothing 什么也没有;sure 确实的;success 成功。for nothing

9. C 考查副词词义辨析。really 真正地,真地;fully 完全地,充分地;exactly 精确地,恰好,正好;
actually 事实上,实际上。和别人去比是傻子的游戏,因为人和人没有完全相似的。故 C 选项正确。
10. D 考查介词。文章第一段最后提到要和昨天的自己,上周的自己或者是 10 年前的自己去比较,用自
己内在的衡量标准去衡量自己,所以在此应该是自己内在的比较,故 D 选项正确。
11. A 考查动词词义辨析。allow 允许;suggest 建议;instruct 指示,指导;direct 引导。句意:你只

否则没有可比性。 故 B 选项正确。

上瘾 的,沉迷于……的。不管你多么的努力,你是多么的投入,总是有人会跑的比你快,跳得比
你高…… 故 B 选项切题。
14. D 考查动词词义辨析。declare 宣布;conclude 得出结论,结束;announce 宣布;bet 打赌。

15. C 考查名词词义辨析。assistant 助手,助理;coach 教练;competitor 竞争者;teacher 教师。

18. A 考查名词词义辨析。difference 区别;sense 感官,感觉;change 改变;effort 努力。别人做
得再好 和我们也毫无关系,我们只和自己比较,所以即使你跑 7 段楼梯,别人跑 15 段,那和我
