本文讲述了“我”在一所 free school 的经历。free school 与一般校不同：教室里没有成排的桌椅，没有上课的铃声，生可以不必在教室上课 ，也不必按时就寝„总之，free school 充分体现 free。但是令“我”意想不到的是，那儿的生却非常自觉。

1. A。根据常识和题目中提到的 free school以及空格后的in rows，可知答案选A。

2 C。由于校一切都很 free，不仅没有上课的铃声，而且也没有人要求生一定要去上课(go to class)。 3. B。根据前面几句的句意和句子结构可知答案选 B。

4. D。在一般人看来，在如此 free 的校里，生一定会为所欲为，但事实完全不是那样，所以作者这是件很“奇怪的”(trange)事。（注：本句中的 practically 意为“几乎”） 5. A。and 表并列关系。

6. C。作者在此将新生与老生作了个对照：老生按时上课和就寝，而有的新生则熬夜 (即不按时就寝)和缺课(miss class)。

7. B。根据其后的 bt this never lasted long 可知此处应填 at first(起初)。

8. A。指生需要一定的时间来适应 free school 里的这种特殊的“自由”(freedom)。此句也可说成 It took the stdents some time to get sed to the freedom。

9. D。一般情况下，老师都把生当孩子看待，但这里的老师却把生当作grown- ps(成年人)看待——这也是 free school 与一般校不同的地方。

10. C。比较四个选项，同时联系空格后用作宾语的 stand p, sit down, speaot，可知选 C 最佳。这里的 play 表示“做”，同时含有“表演”的意思。 11. D。比较四个短语的意思可知 D 最佳。

12. B。答案依据是文章最后一句„between the free school and the reglar 13. C。/ 14. A。春秋两季不上植物课，取而代之去 „planted two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden——这正是这所 free school 与一般校不同之处。

15. B。then 表示时间顺序。即春秋先播种，然后冬天再研究所种植物。 16. D。particlar 在此表示“特定的”。

17. C。在数课上同们习建造储藏室——这当然(of corse)是小房子而不是大房子。

18. B。had a great time 意为“过得愉快”。

19. D。figre ot 意为“算出”。如：Please figre ot the total cost. 请计算出总费用。

20. A。作者在文中介绍 free school 中的一般情况时，均用了主语 we，但在谈到 math 时，作者则说 In math the stdents bilt„ / They did this„ / They really had„ 等，这说明作者把自己排除在数之外，故此题 A。I didn’t take math 的意思是“我没有选修数”。

21. C。作者没有选修数有两方面的原因：一是认为他受不了数过程中的设计 、绘图、计算等烦琐事；二是认为只要会进行基本的数字运算，就够(enogh)了。 22. A。on the whole(总的说来)在此表示概括和总结。

23. B。作者认为自己与同龄人一样能读会写，而且能 thinbetter，所以他认为自己“更优秀”(better)。

24. C。这是在概括 free school 与 reglar school 的区别。

25. D。由于作者与同龄人一样能读会写，而且能 think better，这说明 free school 与 reglar school 的最大区别就在于 the amont of thinking。 2000年高考英语完形填空真题详解(全国卷)

25. A. sisters B. friends C. stdents D. fellow 【答案与解析】 本文记述作者作为一名大新生到校第一天的不寻常经历。

1. D。根据语境(提着一个大箱子爬上三楼)，再结合四个选项的意思，只有 tired 最合适。

2. C。根据下文的 and fell, sending my new sitcase rolling down the stairs，可知父亲是在上楼时踩空了一步(miss a step)。

3. A。根据上文(父亲摔了跤)，再结合四个选项的意思，只有 roll down(滚下)最合适。

4. C。根据下一段的内容可知，“我”在设法使父亲不 screaming at me。这说明父亲可能会因摔跤而迁怒于我，所以此题选 C 较合适。

5. B。上文说“父亲脸红了，我知道会来麻烦了”。所以此处的语境应是：每当父亲脸 红，我就得“小心”(look ot)了。

6. D。比较四个选项，只有 D 最合适。get sb to do sth 的意思是“使某人做某事”。

7. B。scream at sb 意为“冲着某人吼叫”；make a scene 是习语，意为“吵架”或“(当众)大吵大闹”。根据语境，此处应填 withot，表示避免发生其后的情况。

8. D。the rest of the year 指这一年剩下的时间。

9. A。父亲提着箱子爬楼，又摔了跤，所以现在走起路来很费劲(with difficlty)。

10. C。根据上文所发生的不愉快的情况可知，作者认为“她的大生活开头不顺”。 get off to a bad start 是习语，意为“开头不顺”。

11. B。根据下文可知，作者知道自己的房间号码是316，但现在还未找到，所以此题 应填 find。

12. D。then again 的意思是“还有”、“另外”。

13. B。此处句意为：316 房间会不会有椅子，或者是间空(empty)房? 同时请注意第 18 空后 the room wasn’t empty at all 对此有所暗示。

14. A。从上楼到找到房间经历了一个过程，所以这里说“终于”(finally)找到了房间 15. C。比较四个选项只有 C 最合适，即开锁之后“推”(psh)开门。 16. D。父亲从摔跤开始 scream，到现在还在 complain，故用 still。

17. A。由于父亲因摔跤扭伤了膝盖，到现在还在报怨，“我”担心要是房间里要是像 想像的那样，连一把椅子都没有，那情况就更糟了。expect the worst 的意思是“预计会有更有糟的情况”。

18. C。但实际上，房间内家具齐全，与“我”的 expecting 大不一样，所以令“我”srprise。 19. A。同住一室的人叫 roommate。

20. B。Amy 一边与“我们”打招呼，一边将音乐“关小”(trn down)。 21. A。根据下文的 And of corse, yo’re Mr. Faber 可知，Amy 此时在打量着我的“父亲”。

22. C。根据上文的描述可知，Amy

是一位热心、客气、有礼貌的女孩，所以此处填 smiling 较合适。

23. C。指父亲受到 Amy 的友好接待之后，心情好转了一些，所以他的脸也就 trned less red。

24. D。then 意为“当时”、“那时”。

25. B。根据上文描述的“我们”与 Amy 的短暂接触，以及下文的 and my first year of college wold be a sccess 可知，我们会成为“朋友”。 2001年高考英语完形填空真题详解(北京春季卷)

本文主要阐述了人们碰到问题时怎样分析问题和解决问题。文中还以Sam如何解决自 行车车闸出现的故障为例，阐述了人们解决问题通常经历的几个阶段。

1. C。根据 „try to remember a soltion from the last time(设法回忆上次的解决方法)可知答案选C最佳，因为只有问题“类似”(similar)，人 们才会想到“上一次”的办法。

2. B。比较四个选项，同时结合下文内容可知此题应填 thinking，因为作者在后面说，“当所有前面提到的办法都失败后，他们才会开始分析和 思考”，说明此时人们解决问题还不会去思考。 3. D。前后意思转折，故用 however。 4. A。fail 意为“失败”、“不奏效”。

5. C。根据下文内容可知，作者讲的是解决问题的六个阶段(stage)。 6. A。联系下文提到的 next，finally等可知，此处应填first(首先)。 7. D。作为分析的第一步，Sam必须要明白或意识到(see)自行车出了毛病。 8. B。知道有问题，还要找到(find)问题，以便于进一步分析和解决。

9. B。determine在此表示“确定”，与前面一空的 find

同义，因为此句是对前一句的举例说明(注意句首的 for example)。

10. D。根据下文提到的„he can look in his bicycle repair book and read abot brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop，可知 Sa必须查找有关自行车修理的资料和信息(information)。

11. A。既然尚在查找资料阶段，故只能确定可能的(possible)方案。另外，下文(第 16空后)也有 a possible soltion这样的暗示。

12. C。decide与determine 同义，指Sam“确定”了自行车出毛病的部位是车闸。 13. D。比较四个词组的意思可知选D最佳。at this time 意为“此时”。

14. B。搜集资料的方式很多，“与自行车商店的朋友交谈”也是搜集资料的方式之一 15. D。上文Sam所做的工作均属于stdying(习、研究)的范围。

16. C。根据下文所列举的tighten or loosen the brakes, by new brakes and change the old ones等，可知此处应填several。 17. B。由于仍以 Sam 修自行车为例，故用 again。

18. A。根据上文内容可知，在提出的几个对问题可能解决的建议或方案中，有一个 建议可能解决问题。

19. D。表示“对„的解决方法”，soltion 后接介词 to。

20. C。从下文的内容来看，有时导致解决问题最终(final)办法纯属意外。

21. A。上文提到 Sa解决自行车车闸问题可以有多个方案——拧紧或放松刹车、买新刹车、更换旧刹车等，而 下文又说 Sa突然发现刹车上粘有一块口香糖。显然这个解决问题的最终办法有点“出人意料”(nexp ectedly)。

22. B。由于意外地发现刹车粘有一块口香糖，这使Sam采取了一种完全不同的(diff erent)解决办法(既非拧紧或放松刹车，亦非更换刹车)。

23. D。原来花了那么多时间研究都没有发现的症结，现在突然发现是因为刹车上粘 有一块口音糖，当然是要马上(immediately)把它清除掉(clean)。 24. A。既然刹车上粘有口香糖，显然只需清除掉(clean)即可。 25. C。问题解决后，应当进行检验(test)，看是否成功。 2001年高考英语完形填空真题详解（全国卷）

19. A. decision B. sitation C. sbject D. proble 20. A. oo B. montain C. msem D. laboratory A【答案与解析】

本文主要向人们讲述有关 Snowman 的一些情况，这种非人非兽的动物到底是否真的存许多人看法不一，尽管有人说他们看 到了甚至抓到了 Snowman，但实际上却没有相应的证据。

1. B。根据下文中 Over the years, the story of the Yetis has contined.

和 These days, only a few people contine to take the story of the Abominable Snowman seriosly 可知此题应填 story。

2. D。比较四个选项并根据下文的 in the 1920s 这一信息，可知此题选 D 3. C。指当地人听说过(know of)这种动物。其他几项均不合句意，注意不要选 A，hear from 的意思是“收到„的来信”，但若改为 hear of 则可以。 4. A。even 用于加强语气，意为“甚至”。

5. B。前面说 they had even caght Yetis on two occasions，而后面又说none has ever been prodced as evidence，比较四个选项，只有选thogh 意义才最合适。

6. D。文章第1段说Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of hman feet high p on the side of Mont Everest，第2段又说 In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest，有关 Yetis 的传说在继续(contine)流传。

7. D。比较四个选项的意思：entirely=整个地；natrally=自然地；clearly=清楚 地；simply=只是，仅仅。同时结合本句语境以下与下文 the Abominable snowman might really exist 的逻辑关系，选项 D 最合适。

8. C。此处的 felt 与前一句的 believed 大致同义，均表示当事人的主观判断。 9. A。Shipton 认为那不仅仅是猴子或熊的足迹，也就是说他认为 Abominable Snowman 真正存在的可能性。

10. B。根据文章第2段中的 Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marklike those of hman feet high p on the side of Mont Everest，以及 Frther efforts have been made to find ot abot Yetis 和其后的 Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ordinary animal tracks 可知此题填 more 11. C。本句语境为：大多数人认为这不过是普通(ordinary)野兽的足迹。空格前的 nothing more than 意为“和„一样”。

12. B。根据常识并比较四个选项，可知选项 B 最合适。注意空格后的 As they melted and refroe in the snow 说明了人们发现的脚印要比普通的动物足迹大的原因。

13. D。下句说 in 1964, a Rssian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was real and was a remaining link with the prehistoric hmans，这与句说的“大部分人认为脚印只不过是普通动物的足迹”为转折关系，故填 However。

14. B。前后两句意思转折，看法相反——即苏联家认为 Abominable Snowman 的确存在。

15. 第4至5空处说“有人说他们有两次还捉住了 Yeti但是没有证据”，此处又说“没有证据”，故填 again。 16. B。比较四个选项，此处填 actally(实际上)较合适。

17. C。由于找不到雪人存在的证据，现在人们对有关雪人的故事已经冷淡下来，只

有很少人认真对待此事。take sth seriosly 意为“认真对待某事”。

18. A。四个选项后均可接动名词，但意义不同：scceed in doing sth=成功地做好某事，insist on doing sth=坚持做某事，depend on doing sth=依靠做某事，join in doing sth=参加做某事。结合下文语境，此题选 A 最佳。 19. D。冒号后引出的是一个“问题”，故填 problem。

20. A。由于雪人是 Half-man, half- beast，所以若真的抓到了雪人，那到底是应将其当作 beast 关时动物园呢，还是将其当作 man 让其住进宾馆？——这倒真是个问题。 2002年高考英语完形填空真题详解(北京春季卷)

19. A. prodce B. find C. get D. help 20. A. anything B. everything C. harm D. wrong B【答案与解析】

本文主要介绍某社区一些居民自发组成治安联防队协助警察维护社区的安全的一些情 1. C。根据下文内容：当 Tim Becker 开车去买东西时，他还要到居民区巡视——这说明他不只是(jst)开着车从家到商店直去 2. A。通读全文可知，Tim 对居民区的保卫工作很负责任，故此处填 careflly 3. B。陌生人的车辆、大的噪音、打破的窗户或者人们聚集在街角等均属 nsal 的情况。

4. D。按常理，crtained windows, open windows, old windows 都不算 nsal，只有 broken windows 才算 nsal。

5. B。根据上下文可知，Tim 是 Stoneville, Indians, USA 的治安联保队队员，故填 belong。belong to 为固定短语，其意为“属于”。

6. 根据后面的 ...Tim gets together with abot ten of his neighbors tdiscss„ 可推知此处填 meet 最恰当。

7. C。此句的主语 that 即指前一句的 the third Wednesday of every month，故此题填 when，它相当于 the time when。如下面两例中的when 就属此用法：The morning is when I’m bsiest. 早晨是我最忙的时候。/ April iwhen the lilacs bloom. 四月是丁香开花的季节。

8. D。根据上下文可知，治安联保队的目的是保卫社区的安全，故此处应填 9. A。keep sth safe 意为“使某物处于安全的状态”，即通常说的“保卫某物的安全”。注意不要选 protect，因为它通常不用于“动词+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构。 10. C。根据上下文的语境可推知。

11. D。bt not to them 为 bt doesn’t happen to the之省略。此处句意为：人们好像觉得犯罪(案件)只会发生在别人身上而不会发生在自己 12. A。right 意为“权力”，句意为：我认为任何人都没有权力偷别人的东西。 13. B。由于本文讲的是关于社区安全的问题，所以选 B 较恰当。

14. D。比较四个选项，只有 look 与其后的 ot for 搭配成 look ot for(留心，注意)在此最合语境。

15. C。比较四个选项只有 watch 在此最恰当。另外，后面一句 We keep watch on„ 也有相应的暗示。

16. 后面的 for or five of s 决定了答案应是 a grop of(一小组，一小队)，而不是 a set of(一套)、a nmber of(若干个)或 a crowd of(一大群)。

17. B。根据其后的 For example, if ..., we report to the police 可推知此处应填 police。这里的 For example 是把前面一句的内容具体化。 18. D。后面说 we report to the police，这说明出现了一些违法或犯罪现象，如someone destroying poverty 等，四个选项中能与此并列的应是 look for troble，即选 D。

19. D。比较四个选项，help 用于此空意思最恰当，即社区治安联保队对减少犯罪有很大帮助。

20. B。Ji说“警察都是些好人，但是他们也不可能做好一切”，正因为如此，社区治安联保队的存 在就很有必要了。

【解析与解析】本文主要讲述了一位曾经当过兵的医生，在部队进行的智商测试得分 很高，但后来却被一名普通的汽车修理工所开的一个小玩笑“耍”了一次。 1. C。表示“接受测试”，要用动词 receive。

2. A。an average of 100 意为“平均分为100分”。其前的 against 表示对比。全句意为：平均成绩为100分，而我得到了160分。 3. B。这只是作者的主观看法，故意填 possibly 较合适。 4. D。yet 表转折，意为“然而”。

5. A。比较四个选项的意思同时结合一名汽车修理工的职责，可知只有 fixed(修理)最恰当。

6. C。此句意为：假设由这位汽车修理工来设计一些智力测试题。

7. D。By every one of them 中的介词 by 说明手段或方式，them 指代前面的 qestions，全句意为：用汽车修理工所设计的每一个问题，都会证明“我”是一个 8. C。从上下文可以看出作者是一名智商很高的医生，是脑力劳动者。比较I’d dpoorly，可知作者假设用自己的双手工作，会做得很差。

9. A。由于前面两段已提到这位汽车修理工的一些情况，这里再次以他为例，故用 10. B。根据下文的“聋哑人买钉子”和“盲人买剪刀”这两个笑话可知，此处选 B 为合适。

11. D。这位聋哑人之所来到商店，是因为他“需要”(needed)一些钉子。注意不要选 boght，因为“买了一些钉子”是到商店来的结果，不是原因。

12. B。根据常识可知：这个聋哑人要想售货员明白他想买钉子的意图，只有做 hammering movement 较合适。

13. C。售货员根据这个聋哑人的 hammering movement 认为他想要锤子，故拿给他 hammer——这不是聋哑人想的东西，所以他摇了摇头(shoohis head)。

14. A。经过聋哑人的进一步“解释”，售货员终于明白了他的意思，于是给他拿来了 (broght)钉子。

15. D。前面来一个聋哑人，接着来一个瞎子。用 the next 表示先后顺序。 16. B。how 表示方式，即指这个盲人用什么方式来说明自己的意图。

17. C。盲人虽不能看，但会说话，所以他们买东西时是用自己的话语表达自己意思 ，即填 voice。

18. A。try 意为“测试”。trying sth on sb 意为“用某事测试某人”，在英国口语中也可理解为“用某事戏弄某人”。 19. A。根据上下文的语气可知答案。for sre 是习语，意为“肯定地”、“有把握地”。 20. D。比较四个选项，同时结合上下文的语境
