解析:
【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文,理清故事主线:一群男孩决定比赛爬树,最矮的男孩David最终凭借一直向前看、不停下脚步的方法第一个爬到树顶,故事最后引申出坚持向前就能实现梦想的人生道理。解题时每一个空都要结合前后文的暗示信息、逻辑关系和固定搭配来判断:1. 优先找上下文的对应提示,比如后文出现David's mother就可以直接对应第3空选mothers;2. 遇到逻辑类的空,比如转折、因果关系,要梳理前后句的语义反差;3. 涉及固定搭配的比如look down、be afraid that、dream come true这些可以直接结合语境判断,不要脱离文章孤立选答案。
【解析】
1. 前文男孩们感叹树很高,后文他们决定举办比赛看谁先爬到树顶,说明他们认为爬到树顶是很令人兴奋的事,sad悲伤的,sore疼痛的,bad糟糕的都不符合语境,选exciting。
2. 比赛的目的是看哪个人能最先爬到树顶,指代人作从句主语用who,when表时间,how表方式,what表事物都不符合语义要求。
3. 后文提到David获胜后他的妈妈很骄傲,说明在场陪同孩子的是各位男孩的妈妈,classmates同学、teachers老师、neighbours邻居都没有后文提示支撑。
4. 前文提到男孩们对爬树比赛兴致很高,这里的also说明妈妈们也对比赛结果、谁会获胜很感兴趣,be worried about担心,be surprised at惊讶于,be angry at对…生气都不符合语境。
5. 全文围绕男孩们爬树比赛展开,这里介绍的是参赛的爬树者,runners跑步者,players运动员,swimmers游泳者都不符合场景。
6. 前文提到David是这群孩子里最矮的,按照常理没有人会认为他能赢得爬树比赛,everybody每个人,somebody某人,anybody任何人都不符合语义。
7. 爬树比赛的目标是最先到顶,所有男孩都会尽全力爬得尽可能快,happily开心地,slowly慢地,carefully仔细地都不符合比赛场景。
8. 前半句说一开始其他所有男孩都比David爬得快,后半句说最后David第一个到树顶,前后是明显的转折关系,用but连接,so表因果,and表并列,because表原因都不符合逻辑。
9. David的妈妈问他是怎么这么快就爬到树顶的,后文David回答了具体的方法,询问方式用how,when问时间,what问事物,which问哪一个都不符合要求。
10. 后文提到他们知道自己所处的高度,说明他们爬树的时候不断向下看,look down是固定搭配表示向下看,look up向上看,look in往里面看,look out小心都不符合语境。
11. 当他们知道自己爬得很高的时候,就会害怕自己掉下来,be afraid that…表示担心/害怕某事发生,glad开心的,sorry抱歉的,sure确定的都不符合语义。
12. David说自己只向上看,看到自己离树顶越来越近,就不会停下脚步一直爬,stop停止符合此处语义逻辑,try尝试,climb爬,worry担心都不符合语境。
13. David一直不停爬,直到抵达树顶,也就是在他到达树顶之前全程都在坚持爬,after在…之后,if如果,because因为都不符合逻辑。
14. 这里引申出人生的道理:一直向前走不回头的经验在生活中也是成立的,it is true that…表示“…是真实成立的”,fun有趣的,clear清晰的,different不同的都不符合。
15. 固定搭配dream become true表示梦想成真,符合全文坚持向前就能达成目标的主旨,study学习,life生活,spirit精神都不符合搭配和语境。
【答案】
1-5: DAABD 6-10: DCCAC 11-15: BADCC
【知识点】
语境逻辑推理
连词词义辨析
固定短语搭配
【点评】
本题是典型的故事类完形填空,考点覆盖了名词、形容词、副词、连词、疑问词等初中英语核心考点,解题的核心技巧是要学会抓取前后文的暗示信息,比如后文出现的David's mother直接对应前文的家长身份,转折关系的空可以通过前后句的语义反差快速判断,最后主旨句的选择要贴合全文传递的正向价值观,整体难度适中,适合用来训练学生的完形语境分析能力。
