2025年高考英语考点过考点52完形填空议论文

考点52完形填空议论文高考频度：★★★★★议论文是一种通过剖析事物或论述事理来提出主张或发表见解的文体。议论文分为两种，一种是夹叙夹议型，另一种是纯议论型。议论文是一种剖析事理、论述事物、发表见解或提出主张的说理性文章。议论文的目的不仅是客观地解释事物，还力图说服读者相信并接受某一观点。议论文是高考完形填空题中较难的一种体裁，它一般由三个要素组成：论点、论据和结论。做好这类题的关键在于要抓住作者的论点。议论文中对于论点的提出通常有三种形式：1.开门见山，直接提出论点在有些议论文中作者开头就提出论点，通过论证，最后提出自己的看法，或提出另一个话题供大家讨论。一般来说，这种形式的议论文作者态度明确，我们也能很容易地把握作者对某一件事的看法。2.导入式提出论点在有些议论文中，作者并不是直接提出自己的观点，而是通过对某一现象的论述来赞扬或批评某一事物，进而提出自己的观点，然后再用具体的论据去证明自己的观点。3.水到渠成式得出结论在有些议论文中作者开头只是列举一系列生活中的现象，而不是表明自己的观点，通过对具体现象的分析，最后自然得出结论，而此结论就是文章的论点。议论文形式的完形填空不像记叙文形式的完形填空那么有情景。因此，我们对整个文章的把握相对来说也难得多。解答这类题要遵循下列原则：1.从首尾句入手，抓住中心议论文的写作思路一般为：提出问题→分析问题→解决问题。因此，文章的第一、二句话通常为文章的主题句，而文章的结尾句常为文章的结论。由此可见，我们必须充分利用文章的首尾句，推测出文章的中心，从而理解全文。2.紧扣信息词，把握作者观点考生要弄清文章的行文逻辑，如转折关系、因果关系、递进关系、对比关系、让步关系、指代关系等。有时文章的第一、二段并不是作者的观点，而是对某个事物的介绍或描述，然后用信息词，如but，however，yet等将自己的观点引出，因此，阅读时一定要特别留意这些信息词。3.从语境入手，确定逻辑关系句与句之间总要反映出因果、假设、条件、类推等逻辑关系。这些逻辑关系常常通过ontheonehand,ontheotherhand,asaresult,asaconsequence,onthecontrary,aboveall,firstofall,secondly,finally,incase等单词或短语表达出来。但有时作者并不使用这些单词或短语，而是将逻辑关系暗含于文章中，这就需要考生根据语境来确定逻辑关系。4.理清文章的论点、论据和结论如果我们连论点、论据、结论都没把握住的话，只能是漫无目的地选择答案了。一般说来，能说明论点的答案可以在论据里得到印证，且作为论点的某些答案也可以与论据有机地结合起来，使论点与论据相辅相承，从而使整篇文章上下一致。如果我们所选的答案前后矛盾，论点与论据相悖，最后的结论与论点自相矛盾，那就说明我们对文章的把握缺乏条理性和系统性，我们就需重新来理顺文章的各部分，直到条理清楚为止，然后再根据自己对文章的把握及各部分的逻辑关系选出答案。It’sbothastrengthandweaknessofhumannaturethatwe’reneversatisfiedforlong.Whateverwehave,whereverweare,mostofuswantmoreandbetterthings.Whenwe1moneyorpower,our2canturnintothegreedthatcrushourhappinessandambition.Butinmanyotherareasofourlife,our3formoreandbetterthingscanbeavery4thing.Forexample,inbusinessweshould5struggleforimprovementandinnovation.Similarly,whenwe6thequalityofoureducationalorhealthcaresystems,governmenthonestyorefficiency,orthegeneralstateofsocialjustice,weshouldneverbe7.Eveninourpersonallives,weshould8forbetterrelationshipsbyimprovingmunicationskillsandorganizingourlivesbetter.Andthere’snothingwrongwith9abetterjob,onethat’smoreintellectuallychallenging,emotionally10,financiallyworthwhile,andsociallysignificant.whatwehave.Yousee,whatwehaveisworthyof13andappreciation,even14wetryhardformore.Notbeingsatisfieddoesn’thavetobethesameasbeingdissatisfied.15isanegativestateofmind.It’sa16ofunhappiness.Thusit’simportanttofinda17placebetweensatisfactionanddissatisfaction.Thatplacecanbethestateofpleasure18bytrueappreciationofwhatonehasandtheabilityto19it.Inthedevelopmentofgood,better,andbest,betterandbestaresuperior20good.Butgoodisstillgood.Enoughcanbegood.1.A.respondedto B.remindedof C.focusedon D.wonback2.A.anxiety B.greed C.shyness D.aim3.A.satisfaction B.preference C.regret D.desire4.A.funny B.terrible C.strange D.good5.A.continually B.wisely C.slightly D.roughly6.A.assess B.maintain C.reduce D.affect7.A.embarrassed B.confused C.satisfied D.discouraged8.A.prepare B.strive C.apply D.wait9.A.giving B.quitting C.doing D.wanting10.A.rewarding B.frightening C.disturbing D.disgusting11.A.connection B.difference C.balance D.parison12.A.contributing B.appreciating C.rejecting D.gathering13.A.consideration B.protection C.collection D.gratitude14.A.as B.if C.because D.until15.A.plaint B.Anger C.Dissatisfaction D.Selfishness16.A.variety B.shape C.definition D.form17.A.fortable B.quiet C.beautiful D.distant18.A.marked B.signed C.approved D.displayed19.A.protect B.set C.store D.enjoy20.A.with B.at C.to D.for【答案解析】3.D【解析】4.D【解析】根据下面的例子可知，此处表示有的时候人们渴望更多更好的东西是一件非常好的事情。5.A【解析】根据后面的＂struggleforimprovementandinnovation＂可知，在商业上，我们应该持续不断地争取改进和创新。6.A【解析】根据后面的＂thequalityofoureducationalorhealthcaresystems,governmenthonestyorefficiency＂可知，此处表示当我们评估教育制度或医疗(服务)体系的优劣、政府的诚信或效率等的时候，我们从来不会满足。7.C【解析】与上文中的＂desireformoreandbetterthings＂呼应，此处指我们从来不会满足。8.B【解析】根据上文中的＂struggleforimprovementandinnovation＂可知这里表示争取更好的关系。9.D【解析】结合上文中的＂mostofuswantmoreandbetterthings＂可知此处应用wanting。10.A【解析】该空所填词应与前后信息保持一致，即与＂intellectuallychallenging＂和＂financiallyworthwhile＂保持一致，rewarding意为＂有益的＂，因此选A。11.C【解析】根据前面的＂Toliveandenjoyagoodlife＂可知此处表示要想过好生活，我们应该在想要更多的东西和感激现有的东西之间找到一个平衡。12.B【解析】与前面的＂wantingmorethings＂形成对比，此处指感激、珍惜现有的东西。13.D【解析】与后面的＂andappreciation＂呼应，此处指我们现在拥有的东西值得我们感激。14.A【解析】as在这里表示＂当……时＂。此处表示甚至在我们努力争取更多的时候，我们也要感激现在拥有的东西。15.C【解析】根据下文中的＂betweensatisfactionanddissatisfaction＂可知答案为C。16.D【解析】这里指不满足是不幸福的一种形式。17.A【解析】此处指作者认为我们应该在满足和不满足之间找到一个合适的地方。18.A【解析】根据空格前后的信息可知，此处指以真正感激现在拥有的东西为标志，故选A。19.D【解析】根据前面的＂appreciation＂可知这里表示能够享有这些东西的能力。20.C【解析】besuperiorto是一个固定词组，意为＂优于/高于……＂。题组一（高考真题）Cloze1(2015·福建卷) Oneoftheeasiestthingsintheworldistobeeafaultfinder.However,lifecanbe1whenyouarenotbusyfindingfaultwithit.

12.C【解析】前句中的youngadults暗示下文谈论的是成年人。根据文意可知，抱怨每天开车上班花费时间长的人，应该是成年人。13.B【解析】而当他们刚刚拿到驾照时，他们翘首企盼(eagerly)一次开好几个小时。eagerly＂渴望地＂，符合文意。14.B【解析】obtain＂得到＂。这里指考取驾照。15.D【解析】在退休前，人们通常计划(plan)做很多事情。16.A【解析】这些事情是他们上班时没有时间做的大事(greatthings)。17.A【解析】参见上题解析。他们上班太忙了，没有时间(time)做这些事情。18.D【解析】但是，退休后不久(soon)，像打高尔夫、钓鱼、阅读及其他所有的消遣方式都变得没有意思了。19.C【解析】那些消遣方式就像他们刚离开(leave)的工作一样，非常乏味。20.B【解析】这些退休老人遭遇的处境，就像一月的孩子一样，开始找新玩具(toys)，寻求刺激了。题组二Cloze1【文章大意】本文讲述了美国人对于时间的态度。1.C【解析】考查动词。根据句意＂时间就像钱一样，是可以被节约或花费或浪费的东西吗？＂，故选C项。A项bought表＂买＂，B项ignored表＂忽视；不理睬＂，D项kill表＂杀死；消磨（时间等）＂。2.A【解析】考查固定短语，havecontrolover…是固定短语，表＂控制……＂，故选A项。3.D【解析】考查连词。根据前两句＂Istimethesameallovertheworld?That'saneasyquestion,yousay.＂可知，此处应表示地点，故选D项，wherever引导让步状语从句，表＂不论在……的地方＂。4.D【解析】考查固定短语。该空所在的句子用＂But＂表示转折，此处应表示＂在美国，时间并不仅仅是那样（morethanthat）＂，选D项。A项lessthan＂少于＂，B项nomorethan＂不仅仅＂，C项notmorethan＂不超过＂。5.A【解析】考查名词。根据句意＂美国人把时间看作是宝贵的资源＂，故选A项resource。B项material＂材料＂，C项source＂来源＂，D项factor＂因素＂。7.C【解析】考查名词。根据句意＂对美国人来说，准时是表示他们尊重别人时间的一种方式＂，故选C项respect。A项preference表＂偏好＂，B项mercy表＂仁慈＂，D项hatred表＂憎恨＂均不合题意。8.A【解析】考查动词短语。结合上句，美国人准时是尊重别人的时间，故比约定时间迟到十分钟以上就需要道歉或者做出解释，故选A项callsfor（需要；要求）。B项arisefrom表＂由……引起＂，C项makesfor表＂有助于，促进＂，D项resultsfrom表＂由……引起＂。9.C【解析】考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知，该空与arerunninglate构成主谓结构，位于名词people之后，是定语从句。定语从句缺少作主语的指人的引导词，故用C项who。10.D【解析】考查名词。结合句意，那些比预期晚到的人通常会提前打，为的是告知对方自己会耽搁，故选D项delay。A项time＂时间＂，B项result＂结果＂，C项explanation＂解释＂。11.B【解析】考查介词短语。结合下句可知在非正式聚会时，人们通常会比预定时间迟到三十分钟，故场合越不正式，准时就越不重要，选B项ontime。A项intime表＂及时＂，C项aheadoftime表＂提前＂，D项overtime表＂经过一段时间＂。12.C【解析】考查介词短语。根据句意可知，该句是对上句的举例说明，故选C项forexample＂例如＂。A项suchas＂例如＂，但其后面应加名词或代词，而不能是一个句子；B项inaword＂总之＂；D项asusual＂像往常一样＂。13.B【解析】考查动词。根据句意，人们在非正式聚会时会比约定的时间迟长达三十分钟的时间，故选B项appointed，appointedtime表＂约定的时间＂。A项＂assigned＂＂分配；指派＂；C项approved＂批准；赞成＂；D项assessed＂评定＂。14.C【解析】考查宾语从句。根据结构可知该空是宾语从句的引导词；结合句意，表示美国人尊重别人时间的程度，故用C项howmuch。A项howmany表数量；B项howfar表距离；D项howsoon表时间，＂多久＂。15.A【解析】考查动词。结合下句＂oncethetimeisfixed＂可知，人们在计划一件事时，通常会提前几天或几周设定日期，故用A项set。16.A【解析】考查名词。人们计划一件事时，需提前定日期，故一旦时间定好了，要改变就不容易了，或许要有突发事件的发生，选A项emergency。B项pleasure＂快乐＂；C项period＂时期＂；D项emotion＂情感＂。17.D【解析】考查动词。根据生活常识，要去别人家做客，首先应打问问对方是否方便，故选D项call。19.B【解析】考查情态动词。结合句意，人们在晚上很晚的时候给别人打也会犹豫，担心对方或许休息了，表不太肯定的推测用might。20.D【解析】考查固定短语。thinktwice是固定结构，表示＂三思＂。Cloze2【文章大意】文章介绍人际交往中一个重要的原则——要以诚相待。1.B【解析】根据下文＂butthetruthisthathappycouplesmunicatehonestly＂可知，真相有很多。truth真相。故选B。2.A【解析】根据下文＂municatehonestly＂可知，但是有一个真正重要的，所有非常好的和健康的关系共同具备的东西是诚实。honesty诚实。故选A。3.C【解析】根据下文＂butthetruthisthathappycouplesmunicatehonestly＂是的，当然，即使在最好的关系中也有一些小小的善意的谎言。whitelies善意的谎言。故选C。4.C【解析】根据下文＂unexpectedbirthdayparties＂可知，这里是周年的惊喜或者出乎意料的生日宴会。anniversary周年。故选C。5.A【解析】根据上文＂therearesomelittle
