Ⅰ.完形填空
(2021·贵州模拟)University was a new experience for me. I had grown up in the confines (范围) of a small seaside town in the south of England, and 1 I was thrown together with 2 of my age from all over the country. People were speaking in 3 that I had only ever heard on TV, and sometimes using words that I had never 4 before.
I had only been at the 5 for about a week when I met Dave Pitman, from Liverpool in the north of England. We discovered that we both played tennis, and 6 to meet up one afternoon for a 7 .
I went to the sports hall at the time we'd agreed, and went into the 8 rooms. Dave was already there, and immediately I could see that he wasn't very 9 . He was searching 10 for something inside his bag. He 11 me as I walked in. “I've forgotten my 12 ,” he said. “You haven't got any, have you?”
Unfortunately, I had no idea 13 he was talking about. In a panic I thought: Tennis balls? Shorts? Trainers? What? But I said: “Sorry?” Dave 14 , “Have you got any spare kecks with you?”
Of course, I could easily have asked him what the 15 meant, but I was too 16 and didn't want to offend (冒犯) him. Finally, Dave saw the 17 on my face, and said, “You know — kecks. Shorts.”
Then I 18 and luckily, I did have some spare shorts in my bag. I lent them to him, we played, and he won. Then we went to get a 19 . The woman at the canteen asked me what I wanted. “I'd like a Black Vanilla, please,” I said. (Where I come from, that's cola and ice cream.) “What on earth is that?” said the woman. I knew 20 how she felt.

tips 完形填空之利用“四种意识”解题
(1)重视首句,要有推断意识
首句是全文的关键句,也是主导句,我们可以从这个窗口领悟文章的关键信息,根据关键信息推断文章的大意及主题,从此找到一个突破口展开思维,准确答题。
(2)通读全文,要有作者意识
我们一定要在快速阅读文章的过程中,仔细找出能够反映作者态度和感情色彩的重要词汇,它们往往是名词、形容词、副词或动词。这些词汇通常是我们做题时重要的参照基线,可以帮助我们快速确定某些题目的正确答案。例如上文第16题,根据语境以及第四段中的“in a panic”可知,作者此时应是感到很“尴尬”。
(3)瞻前顾后,要有结构意识
我们主张在做完形填空的时候要合理想象,其实就是合理思考和推理,不能脑洞大开,甚至“胡思乱想”,必须“随文应变”,不可“一意孤行”,要随着文段发展脉络,调整预测偏差。
(4)反复推敲,要有纠错意识
题目做完后,要将选择项带入文中,反复推敲,纠错防错。
