答案
1 A
說完這些話，作者就開始面對/承認(face)了問題。face面對，面臨, 承認；find找到, 發現, 感到；accept接受, 認可，承認；notice注意到。
2 B
作者過去從醒來到睡覺總是不停(all the time)地給人家打電話。now and then偶爾，有時；at home在家；at work在工作中；all the time始終。
3 C
我等候著(wait)，而不是要(ask)，試著(try)，邀請(invite)人家打電話過來，又想打電話出去，又多打一個電話出去
4 C
開始是為了社交，每天幾個電話，僅僅快速的聊聊天，似乎沒什么事(fine)，而沒有什么特別(special)，客氣(polite)，重要(important)的地方。注意與后句的though和got worse聯系起來理解。
5 B
可后來，慢慢地，情況(situation)卻越來越遭。condition 條件，環境；situation情形, 境遇；result結果, 成效；effect作用, 影響。
6 A
不久，就總是不停，頻繁(frequent)地打電話來了，最后竟然上癮了. frequent時常發生的, 頻繁的，通常強調動作的多次反復出現；B. regular有規則的，經常的，強調動作有規律的經常出現；unusual不平常的，不尋常的，強調非常的情況；particular特別的, 獨特的，強調個性特征。
7 D
這不僅僅影響朋友(friends)，家人(family)，學習(study)，還影響了我的工作(work)。后文談論的是作者的工作情況。
8 A
大白天，不是為了一個秘密的(secret)，預料到了的(expected)，額外的(extra)電話，而是為了一個急迫的(quick)電話作者會突然出去。
9 D
沒有電話打時，就等候人家打電話來，等得作者不是充滿希望(hopeful)，欣喜快樂(delighted)，而是越來越迫切、焦慮不安(anxious)，但不至于擔驚受怕(frightened)。
10 B
作者就會跟這個人打，跟那個人打，心里總是告誡(tell)就再打一個，而不是強迫(force)，給予(give)和限制(limit)自己。這句話是對作者的當時的心情的描述。
I was phoning people and __11__ messages to make sure __12__ calls would see me through the day. I used to arrive at friends’ homes and before the door was closed, go straight for the phone with the __13__ “Is it OK if I just use the phone…?” At work, I became __14__ when my fellow workers tried to __15__ me from using the phone.

1-5ABCCB 6-10ADADB 11-15ACDBD 16-20ACBDA
答案
11 A
作者總是給人家打電話，并留下(leave)訊息，而不是接受(take)，傳遞(pass)，記錄(record)訊息。take /pass/record /leave messages接受/傳遞記錄/留下訊息。
12 C
作者不管這電話是長時間的(long)，還是緊接著來的(immediate)，還是令人吃驚的(surprising)電話，而是要確保明天我能有足夠多(enough)的電話來度過這一天。
13 D
作者就會直接走到電話機前說“我可以用這電話嗎？”這些話(words)來表達要求(demands)或希望(wish)。saying諺語，警句，指人們經常重復耳熟能詳的語句；demands要求，需要；wish希望，請求；words話語。
14 B
上班工作的時候，同伴阻止作者去打電話，作者就會感到無助(helpless)而情緒敗壞狂怒發瘋(mad)，而不會小心從事(careful)，意志堅定(determined)點而不去打電話。
15 D
同伴們會阻止(stop)作者去打電話。save sb. from救助/拯救某人脫離；protect sb. from保護某人免遭；stop sb. From阻止某人，使某人不做某事。reduce 通常不與表示“避免”意義的from搭配。
16 A
作者花掉了最后一英鎊，沒有了錢，他沒法再使用(use)，也偷(steal)不著錢，倒不空(empty)電話亭，便氣急敗壞地毀壞(destroy)電話亭，結果給警察逮個正著。
17 C
作者被命令/安排(order)去看心理醫生。Offer(主動提供)，guide(指導，引導)，remind(提醒)的用詞都太客氣委婉，order通常指上級對下屬等強硬的“指使，命令，安排”，意義較為強烈，其語氣更符合文意。
18 B
三天里作者包括接(receive)和打，沒有(have)一個電話，也就無從錯過(miss)一個電話，更無法安裝(fix)電話機了。
19 D
自作者使用電話亭以來，已經好幾天了=作者好幾天沒有使用過電話亭了。since表示“自……以來”的意思。
20 A
作者努力不去看電視，不是因為電視上有各類不同(different)或更多的(more)人，也不是有人正好在打電話，而是因為屏幕上總是、時常(always)出現人們打電話的鏡頭。

完形填空鞏固練習
【內容綜述】
完形填空在高考試題中是一項必試題型。這種題型可以檢查學生外語學習的綜合水平。在運用層次，可以檢查學生結合背景知識理解全文主題、大意和作者意圖的能力；根據上下文運用語言知識猜測生詞的能力；全面駕馭語篇、獲取信息的能力；在知識層次，可以檢查學生詞匯、語法知識。
【要點講解】
解題方法和步驟
1.通讀全文,了解大意，緊緊抓住上下文語境所提供的信息,充分利用各種線索答。
盡管完形填空給學生提供的是一篇殘缺不全的文章，但作答前花上兩、三分鐘，忽略殘缺部分，對整個篇章作出判斷，是完全必要,也是很值得的。只有這樣,才能掌握文章大意, 找到文章基調，弄清作者思路,情節發展過程,建立起必要的背景知識,也才有保證抓住中心議題,做到心中有底,其后才能不斷根據文中提供的信息,將被刪除的細節補全,使文章的情節得到正常發展，最后獲得完整語篇。
在通讀時,文章的第一句是很重要的,它常為全文提供大意,主題,體裁,人物,時間,地點,氣氛等多方面信息,有了這些信息,再往下讀,就是跳過一些空格,也不會太緊張。在通讀文章之后，要充分利用文章本身提供的信息（也就是我們常說的語境），找出正確答案。對文章領會越深刻，越能體會到上下文之間的關系，答案才能找得越準確。在讀其他句子時,也不要忽視小詞,有些信息往往來自于這些小詞,它們的色彩能決定我們的選擇。下面以2000年高考完形填空為例，進行分析。
I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely. Worse still, Dad 2 a step and fell, sending my new suitcases 3 down the stairs. “Damn!” he screamed, his face turning red. I knew 4 was ahead. Whenever Dad’s face turns red, 5 !
How could I ever 6 him to finish unloading the car 7 screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the 8 of the year with? Doors were opening and faces peering out (探出), as Dad walked 9 close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) 10 start.
“ 11 the room quickly,” I thought. “Get him into a chair and calmed down.” But 12 , would there be a chair in Room 316? Or would it be a(n) 13 room?
14 I turned the key in the lock and 15 the door open, with Dad 16 complaining(抱怨) about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in, expecting the 17 . But to my 18 , the room wasn’t empty at all! It had furniture, curtain, a TV, and even paintings on the walls.
And there on a well-made bed sat Amy, my new 19 , dressed neatly. Greeting me with a nod, she said in a soft voice, “Hi, you must be Cori.” Then, she 20 the music and looked over at 21 . “And of course, you’re Mr. Faber,” she said, 21 . “Would you like a glass of iced tea?” Dad’s face turned decidedly 23 before he could bring out a “yes.”

這是一篇敘事文。本篇文章描述了在不長的一段時間內發生的情況，但在這段時間中，主人公的情緒有一個根本的轉變。我們在閱讀這段短文時，不但要讀懂文章，還要體會出這種轉變，同時根據這種轉變作出正確判斷，從而找出合適的選項。
在通讀本文之后，我們發現文章的第1段到第3段的基調是一致的，從第4自然段中間開始，往后的文章氣氛有了一個轉折。正因為這個轉折，我們可以發現前后文章所用詞匯有著鮮明的對比，當然，選項也就出現相應的變化。比如在前面部分中有slowly, lonely, worse still, fell, “Damn!”, scream, turning red, complaining 等詞匯，這些詞匯使我們體會出這段文章的沉悶氣氛；這一部分中的tired, missed, trouble, look out, with difficulty, bad, empty , worst等選項，正是與這種氣氛符合的選項。第二部分所用詞匯顯然發生變化，如：wasn’t empty at all, furniture, curtains, a TV set, even paintings on the wall, well-made bed, dressed neatly, greeting, soft voice, success等等；這一部分中的smiling, less red, friends等選項既符合這一部分的輕松氣氛，也與前面部分出現對比。
下面我們以其中一些空為例，進行更具體的分析、說明。
第1空的4個選項雖然方向是一致的，但根據上文語境中提到的slowly、carrying a big suitcase等等，這種情況產生的結果應該是tired。第4空還是根據上文語境中提到的一系列不利情況的發生，可以想見會有麻煩－－trouble；suffering, difficulty, danger 在此雖然符合文段氣氛，但都過分夸張或與實際情況有出入，所以不能選。第5空在第4空選對的基礎上，可以看出應該“小心”，所以選look out。第6空的4個動詞選項放在句中，語法上都行得通，但此處須結合下文意義看，我們可以說“使”某人做什么事，是為了產生或不產生什么結果，而“幫助”、“鼓勵”或“領導”某人做什么事，應該是為產生一個結果，如此看來只能選get了。第11空：我們已經知道主人公是個新大學生，父親正在幫著她搬家，根據常識，他們首先應該“找到”房間，不會搜尋（search）或訂（book）房間；而enter應該發生在“找到”之后，同時它與修飾詞quickly不搭配，也不合適，因此只能選find。第12空：but then again 是一個固定詞組，相當于however, 中文意思是“但是（也可能是另外一種情況）”, 如果知道這一點，此空就很容易做出了。第13空：從下文中的提示the room wasn’t empty at all可以看到該選empty。第17空的選項與這個空所處的位置有很大關系，我們前面提到文章前半部分處于低調，這就決定了作者此時的態度是作好了最壞的準備，選worst；而其他3個選項都與這種氣氛無關。第23空：故事發展到此，整個氣氛已經有了根本的轉變，而就是在這時作者的想法也有了轉變，此空4個選項中有3個表示時間: soon, later, then, 前兩個時間都表示將來，與故事的發展不符合，then表示“此時”，與情節符合，所以選它；there表示地點，而地點仍然是過去的地點，并沒有發生變化，因此不選。
做完形填空后，我們一定要把文章完整地讀一讀，看看是否順暢、有道理、一氣呵成。往往在檢查中，我們才能看到錯誤選項造成的說不通、氣氛不協調、不符合邏輯。
2.明確詞意,詞型,詞的搭配,并按上下文需要作答。
做完形填空中遇到的一個最大的問題就是拿不準該選哪個詞,有時就是在語境清楚明確的情況下,也不容易選出正確答案,這就需要我們掌握詞意的細微區別,詞意程度的深淺,所表示范圍的大小,或感情色彩的不同等詞意方面的知識;掌握詞型知識,如動詞的不同動詞型,或其他詞類的詞型等;及詞的搭配,如動詞與名詞的固定搭配,動詞與介詞的搭配,名詞與介詞的搭配,形容詞與介詞的搭配等等。同時上下文是一環套一環的, 不同的詞匯說明事物發展的不同程度,不同場合;人物的不同動作,不同心理;結果的不同方面,不同色彩等等。只有把對上下文語境的明了及對詞的用法的清楚結合起來作答,完形填空的正確性才能有充分的證。
根據歷年高考完形填空試題中所考的各種詞類的比例來看,動詞,名詞所占的比例最大，其次是形容詞,副詞,連詞,介詞,代詞等。所以在詞的學習方面,我們應該對動詞,名詞給予特別的留心與關照。
下面例題是1999年高考完形填空試題。
People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bell. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the 1 and have made up their minds to 2 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest (抗議) against heavy trucks which run 3 through the narrow High Street.
“They not only make it 4 to sleep at night, but they are 5 damage to our houses and shops of historical 6 ,” said John Norris, one of the protesters.
“ 7 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes 8 the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a 9 village. Its streets were never 10 for heavy traffic.”
Harry Fields also studying 11 said they wanted to make as much 12 as possible to force the 13 to realize what everybody was having to 14 . “Most of them don’t 15 here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音), 16 they probably don’t 17 the noise all that much. It’s high time they realized the 18 .”
The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were 19 on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
20 asked if they were 21 that the police might come to 22 them.
“Not really,” she said, “actually we are 23 bell-ringers. I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. There is no 24 against practising.”

這是一篇報導。此篇報導涉及了一個熱門話題：環境保護問題。這種體裁及題材在日常生活中，尤其是在報刊雜志中最為常見。因此文章的實用性體現得極為突出。
第3空：我們知道本篇文章是講噪音污染的，交通噪音污染對人們的騷擾很嚴重，而且是持續不斷的，在此只有day and night頻率最高，能表達這種意義, 而over and over, now and then都不能準確表達這種持續性。第6空：文章前面提到houses, shops，這些都是地點，因此不能選sense(表示感覺), period(表示時間)；scene可以表示地點，但這個詞表達不出這些地點的價值；interest可以說明是“名勝”，體現出了地點的價值。 第7空，涉及到上下句之間的邏輯關系問題。上句we must have these noisy trucks on the roads, 與下句why don’t they build a new road...，尤其上句中的must這個詞，使我們體會到兩句之間是條件關系，而下句的don’t又使我們決定應該選if，全句意思是“假如我們必須忍受路上的這些卡車，他們為什么不能建一條繞城公路呢？”；although引導讓步狀語從句；when引導時間狀語從句；unless雖然引導條件狀語從句，但它與if意義正好相反，也不能選。第8空，根據上下文提供的語境，我們知道，此句話是抗議者說的，抗議者當然希望道路“繞城”而過，不會是“穿城”而過，因此只能選round，不能是through。第9空，句型not more than = at most, 意思是“至多”，much只起修飾作用，根據這個意義及后面的被修飾詞village，我們可以選quiet 或large，如果選quiet village---“平靜的村落”，這個意義與“至多”相矛盾；而large village---“大村子”，卻說明“至多是個大村子”，言外之意就是不適宜繁忙的交通。第10空，根據下文的for，我們想到mean sb./sth for...是“準備…干某工作”的意思，與上下文符合；本空如果選used，那么就意味著“從來沒有交通繁忙”，這種說法與文中抗議者要表達的意思是不一樣的。這兩句的意思是“伯零頓至多是個大村莊，它的街道從來不是為繁忙的交通而準備的”。第14空，從上文中我們知道學生們有意制造噪音，為了使政府官員意識到人們要忍受的是什么，因此選stand；accept是“接受”的意思，人們對噪音如果接受了，那就不要抗議了，因此不能選；know是“知道”的意思，與上下文無關；share是“共享”的意思，這與噪音不能搭配。第17空：政府官員不住在此處，市政廳又是隔音的，他們可能根本注意不到噪音，選notice正是這個意思；mention“提到”，與此處意義不符；fear是“害怕”的意思，對噪音談不上害怕；control“控制”也與此處上下文不符。在第21、22空的句子中提到警察會對這些學生采取的行動，這些學生并沒犯罪，警察所能采取的行動只可能是制止他們，而不會“抓”或“戰斗”，從這些分析出發，這兩空選afraid、stop。做第23空時，一定要看下句 I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. 下句是對上句的解釋，即：這些學生只是幫助敲鐘。再從他們的身份來看，他們是學習生物的大學生，他們畢業后也不會從事此項工作，因此不能選 hopeful, 或 serious；更不可能是experienced---有經驗的, proper在此是suitable“合適的”意義，指他們不是專職敲鐘人，也就不會觸犯法律。第24空：這個學生在針對記者的發問回答，在提問中，談到警察會制止他們，警察加以干涉的事情，一定與法律有關，警察是不會因為其他原因進行干涉，因此只能選law。
3.根據語法知識,典型句型及句型之間的關系來作答。
高考完形填空中根據語法知識設的空并不多, 但掌握一定的語法知識，根據上下文學會分析句子類型、或句子與句子之間的邏輯關系，也是非常有用的。我們要看清句子是時間狀語從句,定語從句還是并列句等等,另外我們還需要進行分析，看句與句之間是原因與結果的關系,還是現象與結論的關系,或是前后順序關系,或是后對前的進一步解釋關系,還是并列的,同位的,對比的,選擇的,轉折的關系等等。
下面例題節自92年高考完形填空試題。
The lecture on smoking was over at last. As we boys were rushing towards the playground, Jim slipped by the table. The watch, which Mrs. Smith had 1 on the table as she started her lecture, disappeared.
We were 2 to go back for class again when the headmaster called us 3 and said, "I've got a little 4 for you boys. Mrs. Smith has just lost her watch on the playground. This kind of thing has happened 5 , she says----it just
6 off her wrist(手腕). So, look around for it, will you? 7 if you're clever enough to find it. Let's 8 it clear the boy who does 9 will get a useful reward."
1.A.seen B.dropped C.found D.laid
2.A.about B.able C.sorry D.sure
3.A.forward B.together C.straight D.out
4.A.fun B.trick C.job D.prize
5.A.before B.now C.here D.there
6.A.goes B.throws C.slips D.falls
7.A.Say B.See C.Guess D.Check
8.A.get B.put C.make D.keep

Key:1-5 DABCA 6-9 CBCD
從這兩自然段,我們看到老師Mrs. Smith 的表丟了,校長把同學們召集起來,讓大家幫助找表。第1空雖然不是為語法而設的,但我們注意到此處用的是過去完成時,這個時態的提示很重要,它說明老師在講課前是自己把表放在桌上的,而講課后,表不見了,可能是有人拿走的,而不會是自己掉在地上的,此處選laid“放”。第2空是一個特殊句型, be about to do...when是“正要干某事,就在此時(出現了某種情況)”的意思; 如果同學們對這個特殊句型很熟悉,就不會猶豫,而選about了; 其他形容詞后面都可能接不定式, 但是卻與when搭配不起來。第3空,根據上句句型結構是“正要返回教室”,可知同學們還沒有集合起來,而校長此時需把大家集合起來,因此選了together。第4空,根據語法可以先排除fun, 因為fun是個不可數名詞,前面不能加不定冠詞a,其他兩答案trick和prize又都與此時的上下文無關,因此選job。第5空,根據語法現在完成時用法,我們知道before常與現在完成時連用,強調事情的結果,而且before也符合上下文,因此我們選它。第7空是個祈使句,校長讓大家看看誰能找到表,所以這個祈使句實際上是Let's see,的意思, 此空我們選see。
要提高做完形填空的正確率、盡量減少錯誤選擇，也是要有較高的閱讀能力作基礎的。因此，平時擴大閱讀量、擴大知識面，十分必要。學習英語要靠積累，課堂上要積累，課外更要積累。高考是選拔人才的考試，誰知識面廣，誰積累得多，誰在能力上就更勝一籌。

I remember vividly the call that changed my life. It was Tuesday, February 18, when the 1 rang in the kitchen of my Los Angeles home. On the 2 was Marty Banderas, a literary agent to whom I had sent a draft(草稿) of my novel three weeks earlier. “ I have a couple of 3 ,” Banderas said. “ First, how old are you?” “ I’ m 48,” I replied. “ Are you in good 4 ?” “ Yes, excellent. What’ s this about?” “ I’ ve sold your novels 5 one and a half million dollars.”
I sat down in 6 . I had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 7 by the publishers. I suppose many people would have been 8 , but not me. Each time, I just 9 writing another one. My husband advised me to find something else to do, but I refused to 10 up. Seeing this book 11 was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It’ s mystery story (like all the others) and it was on the best-seller 12 two weeks after publication!
I got my first lesson in story 13 from my grandmother. She used to read me stories. She was the one who gave me a 14 of words. She sparked(激發) my 15 and she has been a 16 influence on me. I always had stories running through my 17 and as soon as I could write I 18 them down on paper.
I married young and I have three children , but I never stopped writing,
19 novels between doing the diapers(嬰兒的尿布) and dishes. I am writing another novel now. Yes, my 20 has changed my life.

Every year between February and April, when the southwest monsoon(季風) blows, a fever seizes the Thais(泰國人). It is the kite, and kite flying in Thailand 1 a strong feeling of intertest that is nothing 2 of feverish.
During the summer, in the months of March and April, the skies 3 cities, towns and villages throughout the Kingdom are 4 with kites of all descriptions --- long-tailed dragons, twisting snakes, beautiful butterflies, or familiar cartoon characters wheeling and weaving in the warm air.
One afternoon, a friend and long-time kite flier invited me to 5 him at the Pramane Ground. “ What’ s the attraction?” I asked as he flew a huge kite. “ Well, you can feel a bit of a 6 at first,” he replied, “ a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and 7 up into the sky. But once you forget yourself, you get caught up in the 8 of controlling something in the air where you cannot follow. You’ re on the ground: the kite’ s in the air but it’ s you that are making it all 9 . Go on, go fly a kite.”
I took his advice in the 10 it was meant and, holding the hand of my young daughter so that others would think I was only satisfying a child’ s
11 , I bought a rainbow-coloured snake. After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air 12 greater ease than I expected. It was only my daughter’ s crying, “ My go, my go” that I realized I’ d been holding the string, completely 13 what I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime.
Like many other 14 of popular culture, the sport of kite flying in Thailand has been 15 down from generation to generation. Its origins(起源) are 16 probably in ancient China, although it seems likely that Thai kites are as old as the 17 itself. It was a crazy 18 by everyone from the king down.
“ It's a great tradition(傳統), that has the 19 of bringing generations together.” says my friend. “ What you see today at the King’ s Cup is the 20 as the people of the past would have seen more than two hundred years ago.”

It was an early morning in summer. In the streets, sleepy-eyed people were moving quickly, heading towards their 1 . This was the beginning of another 2 day in New York City. 3 this day was to be different.
Waiting 4 the crowded streets, on top of a 5 110 stories high, was Philippe Petit. This daring Frenchman was about to 6 a tight-rope(繃索) between the two towers of the World Trade Center.
Philippe took his first 7 with great care. The wire held. Now he was 8 he could do it. 9 only a balancing pole, Philippe walked his way across, a 10 of 131 feet.
Soon the rush-hour 11 began to notice. What a 12 ! There, 1350 feet above the street, a 13 figure was walking on air.
Philippe made seven 14 , back and forth. He wasn’t satisfied with just 15 . At times, he would turn, sit down, and 16 go on his knees. Once, he had the astonishing 17 to lie down on the thin thread. And thousands of 18 watchers stared with their hearts beating fast.
After the forty-minute 19 , Philippe was taken to the police station. He was asked 20 he did it. Philippe shrugged and said, “When I see two tall buildings, I walk.”
