五、完形填空
$When I was 15, life was always boring. I didn't really \underline{1} others in my school and had no interest. But this view changed when my parents bought me a \underline{2} for the Spring Festival. Even though ($即使$) I didn't know \underline{3} about photography, I showed great interest in the new hobby. I kept taking photos for different people and plants.$
Then after a month, I found I had no gift (天赋$) for taking pictures. My photos were clearly missing something and not \underline{4}. Soon, I became angry with \underline{5} and gave up ($放弃).
$During the summer holiday, I went for a walk on a mountain path. The trees on \underline{6} sides of the path were in a warm red colour. It's an amazing view. During the walk, I thought, "Maybe I should bring my camera," which I hadn't used for weeks.$
$Surprisingly, this walk on the path lit up my love for photography. When I was on the path, there was only nature around me. I found how important it was to look at the \underline{7} of things. I didn't try to create ($创造$) something beautiful. I just \underline{8} on capturing ($捕捉) the beauty around me.
After months of studying outdoor scenes, I was finally able to create beauty of my own.

【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清文章主旨：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者原本对生活毫无兴趣，收到父母送的相机后接触摄影，中途因觉得自己没有天赋受挫放弃，后来在山间散步时重新找回对摄影的热爱，最终作品成功出版、为自己的成果感到自豪的故事。解题时每个空都要结合上下文语境、词义辨析、固定搭配三个维度判断，先排除逻辑完全不符的选项，再结合前后文的提示信息锁定正确答案，最后把所有答案代入全文通读验证通顺即可。
【解析】
1. 前文提到作者15岁时生活十分无聊，对什么都没有兴趣，对应语境是“我并不真的在乎学校里的其他人”。A.look after照顾；B.care about关心、在乎；C.put up张贴、搭建；D.set off出发，只有B符合语境。
2. 后文多次提到photography（摄影）、camera（相机）的相关提示，可知父母春节送的礼物是相机。A.camera相机；B.computer电脑；C.magazine杂志；D.phone手机，选A符合上下文线索。
3. 本句是否定句，表达“即使我对摄影一无所知”，否定句中表示“任何事物”要用anything，something多用于肯定句，everything表示一切，nothing本身表否定和前文的didn't重复，选D。
4. 前文说作者发现自己没有摄影天赋，拍的照片明显缺失东西，对应就是照片没有创意。A.polite礼貌的；B.helpful有帮助的；C.expensive昂贵的；D.creative有创造力的，选D符合摄影的语境。
5. 语境是“很快我就对自己很生气，选择了放弃”，主语是I，对应的反身代词是myself，选B。
6. 小路path只有两侧，是两者范围，后面sides是复数形式，both表示“两者都”后接可数名词复数，all用于三者及以上，every和each后接单数名词，选A。
7. 语境是作者在自然中散步时意识到，观察事物的细节是非常重要的，这也是摄影的核心要点。A.advice建议；B.details细节；C.information信息；D.conditions条件，选B符合逻辑。
8. 此处考察固定搭配，focus on表示“专注于”，句意为“我只专注于捕捉我身边的美”，depend on依靠，check on检查，put on穿上，都不符合语境，选C。
9. 前文说这些出版的作品对我很重要，后文解释原因“它们展示了我的艺术能力成长了多少”，是因果关系，后面是原因，用because连接，选D。
10. 此处考察固定搭配be proud of，表示“为……感到自豪”，句意为“我的照片已经成了我引以为傲的东西”，afraid害怕的，worried担心的，thirsty口渴的，都不符合语境，选C。
