Passage 1
When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 1 . Some stories are told 2 they were true. Real people who live in a 3 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 4 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 5 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 6 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we 7 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 8 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 9 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 10 --which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 11 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 12 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 13 that we are real and they are 14 . It sounds 15 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 16 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 17 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 18 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 19 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 20 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

Thus, my American friends could discover the 4 of eating Chinese food. Because of my " 5 " job, I was often rewarded(奖励)by their 6 of appreciation(感激)such as "very delicious","excellent", etc.But the joke was here: yesterday, I cooked Sichuan?style 7 for dinner.

When all the family members arrived at the table, they first looked 9 at the fish, then looked at me. "Why do all the fish have their10 ?" they asked,"It’s terrible!"
Terrible or beautiful?I don't know. But I 11 know that fish heads are delicious. The 12 is the best part of fish; in 13 only the respectable(受敬重的)guest can have the special honour of 14 it.

According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their k indness② 18 actually helping myself to any of the food. 19 , I said "help yourself" to them whenever I brought home fruits.

It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough food _3_friendship to _4_. However, there can be_5_disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our _6_ the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _7_ at arm's length? Do we want to _8_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _9_enough—and that' s all right. But at some point we need to 10 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations.

Passage 13
It was a normal summer night. humidity(潮湿) hung in the thick air. The only sound was my sister's heavy 1 from the bed next to me.
I couldn't go to 2 , partly because of my cold and partly because of my 3 for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a 4 .
Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough 5 to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright 6 hanging in the sky, giving off a magic glow.
My sister turned over as though she was as light as air. Why could she sleep soundly? Why wasn't she 7 too? Did she know about tomorrow?
I couldn't stand the 8 anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the 9 and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. Pouring the red paste onto the brush, I cleaned back and forth, up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some 10 of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, 11 me as he meowed(猫叫)his sad song. He was on the old orange couch, 12 on his front legs, waiting for something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, " I'm 13 , pet me. I need a good hug." Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch. This couch 14 my birth, my parents' marriage, and hundreds of other little 15 .
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was 16 with questions: What's life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator's body, I had a 17 thought; each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the 18 and the next day's surprise. The 19 was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries 20 move away.

完型填空When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 1 . Some stories are told 2 they were true. Real people who live in a 3 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 4 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 5 for us. But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 6 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?

Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 9 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 10 --which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds. Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 11 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 12 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 13 that we are real and they are 14 . It sounds 15 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 16 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 17 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too. Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our18 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 19 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 20 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books. 1. A. possible B. easy C. new D. different 2.

Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it 11 like a rainbow. He picked up the stone and 12 it in the living room.

高考英语完形填空综合解析 要提高完形填空的解题能力,首先应该综合全面地了解完形填空。要了解完形填空,我们需要回答五个问题。第一个问题:什么是完形填空?第二个问题:完形填空的特点是什么?第三个问题:学生存在的问题是什么?第四个问题:如何解完形填空?第五个问题:平时如何训练?只有解决了这五个问题,才能有的放矢地对完形填空进行教学和研究。 一、什么是完形填空? 完形填空又称综合填空,其命题原理是格式塔心理学。格式塔心理学强调整体感知和对文章从语义上的整体把握。简单说完形填空就是在一篇语意完整的短文中有目的地制造一些空白,造成信息链的中断,让考生在理解短文的基础上,综合运用所学知识和常识,对每个题的备选项做出尽可能合理的分析、判断,从中选出正确答案或最佳答案,使重新构建的文章主旨鲜明,文意畅达,逻辑严密。如果空格要求学生填入连词、介词、冠词等,则空格为功能性空格;如果要求填入名词、形容词、动词等实义词,则空格为语义空格。从近几年的高考试题看,完形填空以语义空格为主,语法部分的内容已经弱化为对词法的考查。完形填空的空格分为四种类型:词内项、词间项、句内项、句间项,难度是逐渐上升的。 二、完形填空的特点是什么? 1. 完形填空的题型特点 近几年来的完形填空题,有以下几个特点: ⑴短文难度基本稳定,与高中英语教材课文难易基本相当。 ⑵短文选材一般为故事性文章,极少采用其它题材的文章。但往往不按时间顺序平铺直叙,有插叙或倒叙,有时还夹有描述和议论。 ⑶短文的第一句不设空格,提供给考生一个思路,以便考生做题。 ⑷考查内容主要是逻辑上的通顺,极少是考语法,所以每题四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。 ⑸短文长度基本稳定,一般在250~300个单词左右。 2. 完形填空选项设置的几个特点 ⑴同义、近义词辨析型。多倾向考查动词、名词、形容词。所以平时要多把这几类词性的词归纳记忆。 ⑵固定搭配型。多倾向考查动词和介词或副词、名词和介词、形容词和介词、典型句子结构的搭配。 ⑶常用语法。时态和语态、从句连词。 ⑷根据上下文的逻辑关系确定选项型。 3. 近年高考完形填空题的命题趋势和新题动向 ⑴阅读量逐年提高,阅读时间减少。 ⑵生词量有增无减。 ⑶长句增多,句式灵活,结构复杂。 ⑷题目设置上单纯语法考查减少,上下文联系考查力度加大,并且以同义词、相似词为典型的迷惑选项增多。 ⑸完形填空的第一句都是完整的句子,并且每篇文章都有一个主题。 三、学生存在的问题是什么? 有些考生虽然具有一定的基础,但完形填空题的得分却总不尽如人意。他们的问题概括起来主要有以下几方面:
例题精选 [例1] Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast, and was proud of the fact 1 she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished 2 a driving offence (犯规,犯法). Then one day she nearly 3 her record.

It seemed 6 that she would be punished. 7 Mrs. Jones came up to the judge, he looked at her seriously and said that she was 8 old to drive a car, and that the 9 why she had not stopped at the red 10 was most probably that her eyes had become weak 11 old age, so that she had simply not seen it. When the judge had finished what he was 12, Mrs. Jones opened the big handbag she was 13 and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she 14 a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt. When she had 15 done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed 16 the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now it is your 17. I suppose you drive a car, and that you are quite sure about your own eyesight.” The judge took the 18 and tried to thread it. After half a dozen tries, he had still not succeeded.
