初中英语中考复习 专题12 完形填空 专练（原卷版）

完形填空专练完形填空考查的类型1.词汇题。这种题型从句子和语境层次上来全面考查名词、代词、数词、形容词、副词、连词、介词、动词等词类的意义和用法。2.动词的时态、语态、非谓语动词和主谓一致题。这类题也是从语境的层次上来全面考查学生对上述内容的掌握程度。3.常用固定搭配和习惯用法题。这种题涉及动词短语、介词短语、副词短语等的搭配和用法。4.句法题。这种题型涉及简单句的五种句型、并列句、状语从句、宾语从句、定语从句等。5.逻辑分析题。这种题型主要考查学生的阅读理解能力、综合分析能力和语言运用能力。一、根据上下文确定答案Thereweresomanypeopleonthebusthattherewere1emptyseats.Whenayoungmangoton,anoldmannearhimwantedto2,buttheyoungmanpushedhimbacktohisseat.

“Thankyou,”hesaid,“butpleasedon’tdothat.Icanstand.”1.A.many B.some C.enough D.no2.A.sitdown B.geton C.setout D.standup分析第1小题所给的选项从单句来看均可和后面的emptyseats搭配。但根据上文的“Thereweresomanypeopleonthebus...”来判断,不可能有many(许多)、some(一些)、enough(足够的)“空位”。因此,该题的正确答案应为D。第2小题所给的选项是四个动词短语,根据下文的“...pushedhimbacktohisseat.”和“Icanstand.”来看,年轻人误认为老人要给他让座,而实际上老人是想站起来下车。所以,该题的正确答案是D。二、根据惯用法确定答案It’sSunday.Somestudentsaregoing1atripwiththeirteacher.2theirwaytheysawabusbehindthem...

1.A.to B.for C.on D.at2.A.On B.By C.At D.To分析短文是叙述老师领着学生旅游的事情。第1小题看似“begoingto”结构,其实“goonatrip”是固定搭配,意为“去旅行”,所以应选C项。第2小题是习惯用法,表示“在(去……的)路上”,英语中要用“onone’sway(to...)”,故应选A项。三、运用逻辑推理确定答案Mr.Brownbegantowalkateightinthemorning.Nowthesunwasabouttoset.Hewastiredandhungry.Hewaswalkingslowlytowardstheandhisshadowlaylongbehindhim.Hehadtolookforaplaceforthenight.

A.east B.west C.south D.north分析此题所给的选项是四个表示方向的名词,均可和前面的介词“towards(朝着)”搭配,很难判断哪一个是正确答案。只有运用逻辑推理的方法才能找出正确答案。根据上文的“太阳就要落山了”判断此时应为下午,太阳是在西方。再根据下文的“他的影子长长地拖在后面”就可以推断出,此时布朗先生正朝着西方慢慢地走着,故选B。四、根据词语用法确定答案Alittlecocklivedneartheriver.Onemorningthelittlecockhisbeautifulclothesandwentforawalkbytheriver.Onhiswayhemetalittleduck.

A.wore B.hadon C.dressed D.puton分析所给的四个选项是一组同义词语,都可表示“穿”,但它们在用法上有所不同。wear和haveon都可接“衣物”作宾语,意为“穿着”,表示状态;puton也可接“衣物”作宾语,意为“穿上”,表示动作;而dress的宾语只能是人,而不能是“衣物”。根据以上分析,再结合原句的意思,可以确定正确答案为D。真题训练一Formostchildren,themostusefulwayofspendingtheirtimeisplayingagame.Itdoesn’tmatter1thegameis.Thingsbecomebetterwhentheyneeda(n)2toplaywith.Ontheonehand,itisquite3forthedevelopmentofachild’spersonality(个性)towinandto4thebestwaystogetthat.Ontheotherhand,ifachildonlycaresabout5,thenforhim,playingagameisfunnyonlywhenhewins.Orifhefindsabetterpartner,hewillget6andhedoesn’twanttogoonplaying.
