2011-北京高考英语 完形填空汇编及答案

（2011年高考）I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rul es of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “53”in the back of the classroom and not wanting

to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

点评北京英语高考完形填空(附详细解析)

点评2010年北京英语高考完形填空（附详细解析） 杨瑶 [标签：完形填空教师点评高考 2010年高考刚刚落幕，杨瑶老师第一时间对北京高考完形进行了详尽地解析，并与过去三年完形考题进行了纵向对比研究，得出如下结论。 一、考点解析 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空词性考点分布图 从词性角度分析，完形填空的重点是实词，其中名词和动词所占比例又相对较高。虚词考察虽少，但大多较为灵活，比如通过与动词的搭配来考察考生对介词词义的理解程度，比如通过连词考察考生对句子衔接的把握。根据分布可以看出，2010年高考命题在词性考察的平衡性上有所调整，争取覆盖所有词性，以体现考生的综合素质。因此词汇量的扩充是攻克完形填空的第一关。 二、命题特点 2010年的完形的选材沿用了往年的风格，为叙述为主，夹叙夹议，涉及细致心理活动描写，往往是一个从消极到积极的转变过程。 附：07年第一人称叙述，08年第一人称叙述，09年第三人称叙述，10年第一人称叙述。 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空综合考察点分布图 1、

为突出完形填空这一题型的“选拔功能”需要，语篇层面的题目逐年递增，2010年的考察尤其突出这点。对于四个选项，如果孤立地看对应挖空的句子，或许都能满足句子的要求，即使个别小题中四个备选答案的词类有不相同者，其语法功能也往往是一样的。考生只有结合上下文语境才能选择出正确答案。 此外，每年的完形填空都会有一两道考察知识迁徙能力的题目，要么选项是考生不熟悉的单词，要么是考生没见过的搭配。比如07年的break the news，是由课本中的“breaki ng news”迁徙而来；比如10年的lively，是由课本中的“live shows”引申出来。另外，由于完形填空综合性较强，因此词组层面和句子层面的试题比例大致应该会固定在50%左右，不可掉以轻心。 从答案分布上看，仍然体现均等原则，今年的完形答案中ABCD选项各五个，这个技巧尤其适用于高分段考试在复查时提高正确率。 三、趋势预测 1、难度提高，干扰项迷惑性加大 2、语篇理解题目增多，逻辑要求提高。 3、单纯考察语法和单词的题目减少,知识拓展迁徙能力考察提高 2010年高考英语完形填空详细解析 I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voi ce and a direct way of speaking. 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
