would like to play a fun game. The young woman just wants to take a nap, so
she politely refuses and rolls over to the windows to catch a few winks.

完形填空与解析(一)
科目：英语 　年级：高三 　　撰稿: 吴世坤 　编审： 李俊和 　责 编: 吴世坤
　　&完形填空&题旨在测试学生综合运用英语的能力，做此题必须通篇考虑，掌握大意，综合运用所学词汇、语法及常识进行判断推理。解此类题主要从以下四步做起：
　　第一步 重视首句，把握开篇。完形填空一般无标题，首句一般不留空白，是完整的一句，全文信息从此开始。细读首句，可判断文章体裁，预测全文大意和主旨。
　　第二步 速读全文，掌握大意。速读全文要一气呵成，尽管有空格、生词或不明白的地方，仍要快速读下去。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词，划出某些代表人物和情节的词，以便于形成思路。要注意不要在未掌握大意的基础上，边阅读，边做题，这样速度慢、准确率低。
　　第三步 瞻前顾后，灵活答题。&瞻前顾后&，即先读所填词的句子，回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空白待填，在初定答案时要&双管齐下&，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。答题方法：1）择优法：根据文章及结构边读边填，如果能够立刻判定最佳答案的，不必再去逐个考证其余答案。2）排除法：如答案一时难以确定，可按空格位置，从语法结构、词语搭配、上下文语境、习惯用法、词义辨析等方面，对选项逐项分析试填。排除干扰项，从而确定正确答案。
　　第四步 复核全文，调整答案。把填好的短文通读一遍，进行核查同时注意以下三点：
　　1．上下文的一致性：即时态语态的一致；代词、名词、单复数的一致。
　　2．从语法和惯用法及习惯搭配、甚至语感入手，看是否符合上下文的逻辑。
　　3．段与段、句与句之间的衔接是否连贯。
　　这次复核至关重要，常能纠正一两处甚至多处错误。同时对极难确定的答案，也要凭语感任猜一个，决不可不选。

　　这篇短文叙述的是一个人火灾中逃生，无意识地救出一个婴儿，一不留神而成为英雄的幽默故事。故事按时间顺序展开，线索清晰。&我&半夜被火警惊醒，仓惶逃出，睡意未消，迷迷糊糊弄错了方向，窜入一个房间，被个什么东西绊倒，于是顺势举起这捆东西遮挡烟火。此时木楼被烧毁坠落，在火海中&我&举着这捆东西护着脸，找到楼门口冲出来。到了安全处才知这捆东西中包的是一个婴儿。掌握了故事大意，扣紧&火&字去思索、联想，前后照应，整体理解，答案就容易确定了。
1．惊醒后跳下床，必要&开门&出去看看情况。
2．由后文知火势很猛，&我&住在顶楼，开门所见必然是浓烟充斥。
3．浓烟呛鼻，咳嗽无疑。
4．本想奔楼梯下去，酣睡中刚醒，迷糊中走错方向乃情理之中。
5．火势越来越猛，四周到处是火。
6．凭语感或排除法确定：B项语意不通，C项词义欠妥，D项搭配不当，只有选A。
7．进屋是为了奔窗子逃生。
8．未&到&窗子那儿，先被绊倒。
9．由后文知绊倒&我&的是襁褓中的婴儿，应是&软的&什么东西。
10．倒在上面但并非直接砸在上面或紧紧压在上面，不然孩子就被压死了。注意&over&含义：&在……上面&、&在……之?，可以是部分接触或全部接触，也可以是完全不接触。
11．可想象当时情景，爬起来时顺手从地上&拣&了起来。
12．前后文皆有信息暗示：前面交待&木头房子&，&地板烫脚&；后文说看到门口，冲了出去。可推断出此处是地板烧坏，塌了下去。
13．此句是三个并列谓语的结构，应选动词，故A不合适，B、D意义不通。
14．从火中冲出，烧得难受，情理之中。
15．从着火的门口向外冲，结果是&过去了&，这一个后文有信息可证明。
16．&哭&是婴儿受到外面冷空气刺激的反应。
17．哭声突如其来，完全出乎意料，当然?惊讶??br& 答案：C
18．母亲仓惶逃出，竟未顾及孩子，认为孩子必死无疑。当看到孩子大难不死时，急忙跑来，madly恰切地形容出其愧、惊、狂喜之情。
19．后句&she was the mayor's wife&为此空提供了一定的信息，前后两句在思维和逻辑上有着承接关系。辨认起来之所以困难，是因为这女人样子十分狼狈，连外衣都没穿就跑了出来，逃出之后借一件男人大衣裹在身上御寒，神态和服装全都大变。
20．救了孩子一命，结果已很明显。
　　Oceanography has been defined as &The application of all sciences to
the study of the sea&.
　　Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest
in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical
aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further
　　For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception
of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea,
there was little reason to ask many questions about it, 1et alone to ask what
lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question &What is at the
bottom of the oceans?& had to be answered with any commercial consequence
was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed.
The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the
length of cable that had to be manufactured.
　　It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph
Company turned, in l853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury
had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测深) were
taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later,
some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical
Geography of the Sea.
　　The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection
made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when
it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a
fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in
the deeper parts of the sea.
　　Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872
Thomson 1ed a scientific expedition(考察), which lasted for four years and brought
home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied
scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being
published in l895.
　　1. The proposal to 1ay a telegraph cable from Europe to
America made oceanographic studies take on ___________.
　　 A) an academic aspect 　　　　 B) a military aspect
　　 C) a business aspect 　　　　　 D) an international aspect
　　2. It was ____ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic
　　A) the American Navy　　　　　　　　 　
　　B) some early intercontinental travelers
　　C) those who earned a living from the sea　　
　　D) the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable
3. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the
1840s was_____.
　　A) to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
　　B) to collect samples of sea plants and animals
　　C) to estimate the length of cable that was needed
　　D) to measure the depths of the two oceans
　　4. &Defied& in the 5th paragraph probably means
　　A) doubted 　　B) gave proof to 　　C) challenged 　　D) agreed to
　　5. This passage is mainly about____
　　A) the beginnings of oceanography
　　B) the laying of the first undersea cable
　　C) the investigation of ocean depths
　　D) the early intercontinental communications

　　第1题：
　　本题要求学生推断：建议铺设海底电缆使得海洋学的研究具有什么样的性质。第3段讲到：&只有当有人建议铺设一条从欧洲到美洲的海底电缆时, 人们才开始从商业意义上对海底进行探索&。人们必须要知道海底有什么,
是个什么样子, 需要多长的电缆等等。因此, 选项C是答案。答对本题的考生为38％。有29％的考生误选了A项, 有24％的考生误选了A项。这些考生没有根据文章内容来答题,
而是根据题目本身的字面意义想当然地答题。
　　第2题：
　　本题问的是谁向Maury请教海洋研究方面的问题。要答对这一题, 必须看懂原文第4段第l句。这是一个强调句型(1t was...that...), 原文突出&向美国海军的Maud请教&。而题干也是一个强调句型,
突出谁向Maury请教。理解本句的关键还在于学生要掌握 turned to...for...这个短语的用法。可见, 答案是选项D。60％的考生答对了本题。31％的考生误选了A项。还有少数考生误选B项或C项。
　　第3题：
　　本题问的是19世纪40年代Maury负责的远洋航行的目的是什么。这个问题比较具体。题干本身已点明了答案可能的出处, 即第4段的第2句。这句中动词不定式to
investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific 0ceans回答了这个问题。所以, 答案是D项。这题比较容易,
77％的考生答对本题。但也有11％的考生粗心大意, 把40年代的这些航行与1853年以后的海底电缆铺设过程混淆起来, 错选了C项。
　　第4题：
　　本题考核学生根据上下文推测词义的能力。defied是defy的过去式。要准确地推测它的词义, 必须完全读懂defied前后部分的意思：前一部分是说：&从海底捞出的电缆上覆盖着各种各样的生物&,
后一部分是说：&当时的科学观点认为海洋深处是没有生命的&。由此可见, 前一部分的&事实&(..., a fact
which...)是&批驳&后一部分的&观点&。所以, 答案是C项challenged(向…挑战, 指责)。37％成绩较好的考生答对此题。既然前一部分是&事实&,
当然无法&怀疑(doubted)&(即A项)后一部分&观点&; 既然前后两部分相左, 前者当然也不能为后者&提供证据(gave
proof to)&(即B项), 更不可能与后面的观点&一致(agreed to)&(即D项)。但仍有不少考生误选了这几项。特别值得一提的是有近25％中等程度的考生误选了A项。这可能是因为这些考生没有理解这句话的意思。
　　第5题：
　　本题问及全篇的中心意思。考生只有读懂全文各段, 才能有把握地回答。第1段谈及是关于&海洋学&的定义; 第2段是讲19世纪前对海洋感兴趣的科学家不多;
第3段谈到由于有人提出铺设海底电缆, 人们才开始研究&海底深处究竟有什么&; 第4段说Maury考察北大西洋和太平洋的发现引起广泛的注意;
第5段讲在铺设海底电缆过程中发现大量海样生物; 最后一段是海洋学研究的成果。可见全篇主要还是讲海洋学的研究是如何开展起来的, 所以答案是A项, 有74％左右的考生答对了这一题。文章有好几个地方谈到铺设海底电缆(B项)和越洋通讯(D项),
但都是围绕着海洋学这条主线的。至于C项, 测量海洋深度, 只是一个细节, 不可能是文章中心意思。

The Wild Swans
　　Long ago and far away there lived a King. He was very
proud of his eleven sons and one daughter. All of his children were good, kind
and wise, even young Eliza who was still only a baby.
　　The Queen had sadly died and after a while, feeling that his children needed
a mother, the King married again.
　　His new Queen was very jealous of the eleven princes and Eliza, and life for
them soon changed. Eliza was sent to the country to be brought up on a farm.
　　The Queen turned the King from his sons, by telling lies to him about them.
Soon the King cared nothing for his sons. The Queen was delighted.
　　&Go, you big ugly birds,& she cried to them one day, casting a spell
on them. But the worst she could do was to turn them into swans with golden
crowns on their heads. Away they flew.
　　They flew over the cottage where Eliza lived, but no-one saw them.
　　Eliza lived happily at the farm, but she missed her brothers. When she was
fifteen, she returned to the palace.
　　The Queen was furious at how pretty Eliza had become, and would dearly have
liked to turn her into a swan like her brothers.
　　Instead she bathed Eliza and put three toads in to change her looks. The toads
were instantly turned to poppies by Eliza's innocence and goodness.
　　The Queen then used walnut juice to darken Eliza's skin, and matted her hair
　　&This will make the King reject you,& said the Queen, and the King
did turn from Eliza. He did not know that this messy girl brought before him
was his daughter.
　　Eliza was very upset and decided to run away to look for her brothers. She
went over the fields and through the forests. She came at last to a stream and
saw her own reflection.
　　&No wonder my father did not know me,& she said, and she jumped
in to wash herself. Moments later the real Eliza emerged, with clean golden
hair and fair skin.
　　For many days she walked, looking for her brothers. One day she met an old
woman. She had a basket of fruit and shared some with Eliza.
　　&Have you seen eleven princes riding through the forest?& asked
　　&I haven't, my dear,& said the old woman. & But yesterday I
did see eleven swans riding down the stream. Each had a golden crown on his
head.& She showed Eliza the river.
　　Eliza followed the river to the shore, and stood watching the waves. As the
sun set, the swans turned into eleven princes with golden crowns on their heads.
　　&My brothers!& cried Eliza, and she ran to greet them. They were
delighted to see their younger sister, now grown into a lovely girl. They soon
realised that it was because of the wicked Queen that they were rejected.
　　&We are swans during the day,& said the eldest. &But when the
sun goes down, we regain our human form. We therefore have to be over land when
the sun sets or we will be doomed.&
　　&We will take you with us when we leave tomorrow,& said the youngest.
&Tonight we must weave a net to carry you.&
　　All night the brothers and sister wove a net. In the morning as Eliza slept,
eleven swans flew up into the air, carrying the net. The youngest shaded Eliza's
face from the sun with his wing.
　　On the other side of the sea was a beautiful land. The brothers flew hard
to reach it in daylight.
　　&Here is your new home,& they said as they landed.
　　Eliza had a dream that night. A fairy came to her and said, &There is
a way to save your brothers, but it means hardship and pain for you. There are
stinging nettles around the cave. Gather them, although they will sting, and
trample them with your feet. With the flax, weave and make up eleven mail shirts
for your brothers. But you must never speak, from the moment you start until
you finish, even if it takes years, or your brothers will die.&
　　Eliza awoke with a nettle stinging her hand.
　　Her brothers had already left as it was broad daylight, so Eliza began her
work. When they returned and saw her poor blistered hands, and she would not
say a word, they realised that she was working for them. Two more days and the
first shirt was finished. A day later, she was at her work, when the royal huntsmen
came to the forest. She ran to her cave in fright, but the dogs followed her.
The King was amongst the huntsmen and fell in love with Eliza when he saw her.
　　&I'll take you to the palace, where you may make your home,& he
told Eliza.
　　Eliza was beautifully dressed, and the King chose to make her his Queen, but
she would not smile or say a word.
　　&My present to you,& he said, taking her to a small chamber, &is
a room like your cave, with all your familiar things around you.&
　　There Eliza saw the prepared nettles and the completed shirt and she was happy.
　　Night after night the young Queen crept away from the King to continue her
　　Soon seven shirts were completed, but she had no more flax. Eliza knew that
the nearest nettles grew in the graveyard.
　　At the dead of night, while all were asleep, she crept out to the graveyard.
On a gravestone sat seven witches, counting the dead. Eliza walked straight
past, with a shudder.
　　The Archbishop was the only one to have seen Eliza leave, and he had followed
her. He did not trust her, and thought she had bewitched the King.
　　&The Queen is a witch,& the Archbishop told the King. &I have
　　The King did not want to believe it, but he watched when Eliza went out at
night. Night after night, she continued her weaving in the small room. Then
one night, with one shirt to go, Eliza ran out of flax and nettles. She would
have to visit the graveyard again. This time the King followed. He saw the witches
on the gravestone and believed Eliza to be one of them.
　　&The people must judge her,& said the King sadly. And the people
judged that she was a witch and should be burned at the stake.
　　Eliza was thrown into prison. Her pillows and sheets were the nettle shirts.
She could not have wished for better blankets, and she continued her work.
　　Eleven princes arrived that night at the palace gate, demanding to see the
　　&It's too late to disturb the King,& said the guards. Eleven swans
flew off as dawn broke.
　　Eliza was carried to the stake in a cart, still sewing and weaving the eleventh
shirt. The others lay at her feet.
　　&Look at the witch!& cried the mob. &She still sews! She's
casting spells Take it from her!&
　　The people were about to tear the shirts from her when eleven swans appeared,
golden crowns on their heads, flapping their wings and forcing the people back.
　　The executioner went to tie Eliza to the sake, but Eliza quickly threw the
shirts over her brothers, and they became princes again. Sadly the youngest
still had a wing instead of an arm, as Eliza had not quite finished the shirt.
　　&Now I may speak!& cried Eliza, turning to the King.
　　The whole story was told to the King, who was very happy. He did not want
to loose Eliza.
　　As the eldest prince spoke, the wood at the stake blossomed and a huge rose
bush sprang up.
　　The King gave a rose to Eliza, and there was a happy wedding procession back
to the palace, where the King and Eliza lived happily.
