第5讲 选词填空

（注：2017年6月高考为考生回忆版）

【考纲解读】

选词填空是2014年高考改革出现的新题型之一，由原来的十选九变成十一选十，分值从9分上升为10分。一般来说第一句是文章主题句并且不设空；一般每隔15－30个词会有一个空；空与空之间有完整意群，是将词汇的使用和完形阅读紧密结合的一道题型。近年来选词增加了对派生词和合成词的考查，文章难度也逐渐增大，加之单词之间的连带性，牵一发而动全身，因此较难得满分。

【考点分析】

（注：以单词在真题中实际词性为主，未涉及词类活用）

· 主要考查名词，动词，形容词和副词；

· 动词是考查重点，尤其是动词的分词变形为主；动词时语态与非谓语是高中语法学习的重点；

· 名词与形容词为次重点，每年都有考查；对于名词与形容词在句中所起作用与相互修饰须要学生熟练掌握；

· 副词用于调整题目的难易度与词汇的考查。它在句中的位置灵活，功能强大，一般是二选一；

· 近几年来越来越加大派生词和合成词的考核，要求学生根据单词构成的规律正确判断词性和词义。

【知识梳理】

一、选词填空解题步骤

第一步：详读选项，词分类

选项中的11个词是考查的关键，考生应该详细的理解这11个单词。熟悉的单词标明词性和词义，不熟悉的单词或者不认识的单词只需标明词性，然后根据名词、动词、形容词、副词四大类按规律排列在试卷上。这样做考生就可以不再是11选1了，只要根据上下文的逻辑关系或者语法结构，有时候可以是3选1甚至2选1，缩小了选择的范围，降低了试题的难度。

注意：

1. 动词分为谓语动词和非谓语动词。非谓语动词包括：动词不定式、动名词、现在分词和过去分词。过去分词有两种可能性(形容词和动词的过去分词), 无法确定时标问号。

2. 不认识的词要看后缀。构词法中, 前缀区分意思, 后缀区分词性。所以看词尾往往能大致分出词性。词性无法确定的, 暂时搁置。

3. 做出相应的标记。在英文中有的单词不只有一个词性，比如大家常见的visit, access, approach, challenge, change等就即有名词词性又有动词词性。 这时两个都要标出来。

4. 以-ing或-ed 结尾的词既可能是动词，也可能是由现在分词或过去分词转变而成的形容词。

例如：sleeping "She is sleeping."中就是动词。而在"sleeping beauty"中就是形容词。建议同学们在供选择的词旁将两种词性都标注上，答题时以动词为首选进行判断。

第二步：略读全文，定中心

考生拿到题目以后，由于考查考生对篇章的理解，应该略读整篇文章，确定文章的中心或主要说明的问题。文章大概在220词--250词左右，用1分钟左右的时间略读即可。要抓住文章首句，迅速找到文章的主题词或主题。和完型填空一样，一般文章第一句不设空格，以便让考生知道本文的相关主题词或主题。在此，建议大家使用略读的方法，以快速掌握文章大意。

第三步：关注逻辑、词义，灵活选

可以通过词义判断(即通过同词性词汇的中文意思是否符合文章的整体意思，由此判断是不是最合适的选项)和逻辑判断(即根据文章的逻辑顺序和逻辑结构，确定同词性的词汇中的哪个是最佳答案)两种方法确定答案。注意，在判断词义的过程中关注十一性代词，比如these等词的提示作用，避免主观答题。

第四步：复核检查，定结果

篇章词汇理解题目类似于完型填空，这需要考生不仅要迅速的确定答案，还要在确定答案之后迅速的复查。检查上下文是否通顺、上下文的逻辑结构是否正确、文章的意思是否出现偏差等等，复查无误后即可确定为最后答案。

二、选词填空词性判断概述

（一）判断词性的技巧

前面提到的"瞻前顾后"就是需要考生根据空格的前后来决定所填词的词性以及应填的正确选项，我们可以根据一些简单的语法知识确定答案。应该说语法知识是解词汇理解题的基础。

1. 确定空格为名词

(1) a /an/the+n. , adj.+n. , vt.+n. , 即空格处前面为冠词、形容词或者及物动词的，空格处应填入名词；

(2) n.+v., 即空格处后面是动词的，空格处应填入该动词的主语(名词)；

(3) prep.+n., 即空格处前面是介词的，空格处充当介词宾语，用填入一个名词或动名词。

2. 确定空格为动词

(1) n./pron. vt. n./pron., 即空格前面已有名词/代词作主语，后面又有名词/代词作为动词的宾语，空格处应为及物动词；

(2) n./pron. vi. , 即空格处前面是名词/代词，后面没有宾语，空格处应填不及物动词；

(3) n./pron. vi. adv./prep., 即空格处前面是名词/代词，空格处后面是副词/介词，空格处应填入不及物动词，与副词/介词构成固定搭配；

(4) n./pron. link v./be. adj., 即空格处前面是名词/代词，后面是形容词，空格处应填入系动词或be动词；

(5) to v. , 即空格处前有不定式标志to，空格处应填入动词原形；另一种情况to是介词，后面应填入动名词。

3. 确定空格为形容词

(1) adj.+n. 或n.+adj. , 即空格处前面或者后面为名词的，空格处应填入形容词；

(2) adv.+adj. , 即空格处前面是副词的，空格处应填入形容词；

(3) link/be v.+adj., 即空格处前面是系动词或be动词的，空格处应填入形容词作表语。

4. 确定空格为副词

(1) adv.+v. 或v.+adv. , 即空格处前面或者后面为动词的，空格处应填入副词；

(2) adv.+adj., 即空格处后面是形容词的，空格处应填入副词。

（二）利用逻辑关系词确定答案

在篇章词汇理解题目中，文章的逻辑关系对于考生把握整篇文章是很重要的，文章的逻辑关系通过一些逻辑关系词体现的，考生可以通过逻辑关系词来确定出一些答案。

常见的逻辑关系词如下：

(1) 并列关系：and, or, as well as 等

(2) 对比关系：but, however, on the contrary, rather than 等

(3) 比较关系：as…as, like, similar 等

(4) 因果关系：because, for, since, as a result of, therefore, thus 等

(5) 举例关系：for example, for instance, such as, and so on 等

(6) 递进关系：and, what\'s more, moreover, in addition 等

（三）比较填词

将词性分类后，如何确定哪个选项是正确答案呢？这就需要考生进行选项间的比较，比较同词性的词汇哪一个是最佳答案。这里提示考生可以通过词义判断(即通过同词性词汇的中文意思是否符合文章的整体意思，由此判断是不是最合适的选项)和逻辑判断(即根据文章的逻辑顺序和逻辑结构，确定同词性的词汇中的哪个是最佳答案)两种方法确定答案。这里还要提示考生，填入一个词就划掉一个，为下面的选词缩小范围。

G. labels H. moderation I. relieve J. signals K. simply

Let\'s say you\'ve decided you want to eat more healthfully. However, you don\'t have time to carefully plan menus for meals or read food __41__ at the supermarket. Since you really__42__ yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come in handy, wouldn\'t it? This is where a "choice architect" can help__43__some of the burden of doing it all yourself. Choice architects are people who organize the contexts in which customers make decisions. For example, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket-including which shelf the peanut butter goes on, and how the oranges are piled up—is a choice architect.

Governments don\'t have to__44__healthier lifestyles through laws---for example, smoking bans. Rather, if given an environment created by a choice architect one that encourages us to choose what is best-we will do the right things. In other words, there will be designs that gently push customers toward making healthier choices, without removing freedom of choice. This idea combines freedom to choose with__45__hints from choice architects, who aim to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

The British and Swedish governments have introduced a so-called "traffic light system" to __46__foods as healthy or unhealthy. This means that customers can see at a glance how much fat, sugar, and salt each product contains__47__by looking at the lights on the package. A green light __48__that the amounts of the three nutrients are healthy; yellow indicates that the customer should be__49__; and red means that the food is high in at least one of the three nutrients and should be eaten in __50__. The customer is given important health information, but is still free to decide what to choose.

Considering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation\'s image. They motivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential or 41 customers. They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in.

As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have come up with 42 to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible "strategic management environments." These 43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.

As employee hierarchies(等级制度)have flattened, or decreased, office designers\' response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been 44 by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not 45 to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by lowing the walls that 46 workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees\' 47 to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.

Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often 48 demands, including budgetary limits, employee hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or promote a company\'s image and will enable employees to 49 at their best.

All these 50 of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like a good marriage — the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.

【答案】41—45 IBHDC 46—50 JAEGF

【解析】

41. I本题考查形容词。根据划线部分前面的单词potential （形容词，潜在的）和or（表并列，意为或者），可以知道答案是一个形容词且意思和潜在的是相近的。结合备选答案及单词意思，只有prospective （adj. 未来的; 预期的; 可能的; 有希望的;）符合。

42. B本题考查名词。根据划线部分后面的介词to,答案是一个和to构成的搭配，符合条件的只有access（n.可进入）和alternatives（n.选择），根据语义"办公室设计师想出了相对于过去传统的工作坏境的不同选择"可知答案。

43. H 本题考查形容词。根据划线部分后面的名词solutions（解决办法）可以知道该空应该是填一个形容词，又根据划线部分前面的代词These可以知道，后面所说的内容其实是指代前一句话的内容"设计工厂已经把一个固定的办公室转变为一个创造性地灵活环境"。备选答案中能够和创造性同义的词就只有这个选项innovative革新的。

44. D本题考查动词。根据划线部分前面的has also been以及划线部分后面的by changes，这是典型的被动语态的结构形式have/has been done by sth.所以可以知道答案选项应该是过去分词形式。备选的答案有assigned（分派）；confirmed（确认），根据句意可以知道答案是confirmed。

Golden Rules of Good Design

What makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.

Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42 .

More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.

Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product\'s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.

From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important asrational(理性的). When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.

Castle

Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor, but they offer little protection against attacks. It is easy to defend a fortress, but fortresses are not designed with the comfort of a king or queen in mind. When it comes to structures that are both 31 and well-fortified, the classic European castle is the pinnacle of design. Across the ages castles changed, developed, and eventually fell out of use, but they still command the 32 of our culture.

Castles were 33 built in England by Norman invaders in 1066. As William the Conqueror 34 through England, he fortified key positions to secure the land he had taken. The castles he built allowed the Norman lords to retreat to safety when threatened by English 35 . Castles also served as bases of operation for offensive attacks. Troops were summoned to, organized around, and deployed from castles. In this way castles served both 36 and defensive roles in military operations.

Not limited to military purposes, castles also served as offices from which the lord would administer control over his fiefdom. That is to say, the lord of the land would hold court in his castle. Those that were socially beneath the lord would come to report the affairs of the lands that they 37 and pay tribute to the lord. They would 38 disputes, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities. In this way castles served as important social centers in medieval England. Castles also served as symbols of power. Built on prominent sites 39 the surrounding areas, castles constantly loomed in the background of many peasants\' lives and served as a daily 40 of the lord\'s strength.

Some Very "American" Words Come from Chinese

Many of the Chinese words that are now part of English were borrowed long ago. They are most often from Cantonese or other Chinese languages rather than Mandarin. Let\'s start with them.

kowtow

The English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems 31 . It comes from the Cantonese word kau tau, which means "knock your head." It refers to the act of kneeling and lowering one\'s head as a sign of respect to 32 – such as emperors, elders and leaders. In the case of emperors, the act required the person to touch their head to the ground. Britain\'s Lord George Macartney refused to "kau tau" to the Qianlong Emperor. Soon after, the English word "kowtow" was born. In 1793, Britain\'s King George III sent Lord George Macartney and other trade ambassadors to China to 33 a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to kowtow to the Qianlong Emperor. As the story goes, Lord Macartney refused his 34 to do more than bend their knees. He said that was all they were required to do for their own king.

It is not surprising, then, that Macartney left China without negotiating the trade agreement. After that, critics used the word kowtow when anyone was too submissive to China. Today, the usage has no connection to China, nor any specific political connection.

gung-ho

Another borrowed word that came about through 35 between two nations is gung-ho. In English, the word gung-ho is an adjective that means extremely excited about doing something. The Chinese characters "gōng" and "hé" together mean "work together, cooperate." The original term -- gōngyè hézuòshè-- means Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. The organizations were established in the 1930s by Westerners in China to promote industrial and economic development. Lt. Colonel Evans Carlson of the United States Marine Corps observed these cooperatives while he was in China. He was impressed, saying"...all the soldiers 36 themselves to one idea and worked together to put that idea over." He then began using the term gung-ho in the Marine Corps to try to create the same spirit he had 37 . In 1942, he used the word as a training slogan for the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion during World War II. The men were often called the "Gung Ho Battalion." From then, the word gung-ho spread as a slogan throughout the Marine Corps. Today, its meaning has no relation to the military.

typhoon

In English, a typhoon is a very powerful and 38 storm that occurs around the China Sea and in the South Pacific. The word history of typhoon had a far less direct path to the English language than gung-ho. And not all historical accounts are the same. But, according to the Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were in India and were called "touffons" or "tufans." The word tufan or al-tufan is Arabic and means violent storm or flood. The English came across this word in India and borrowed it as touffon. Later, when English ships encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese word tai fung, which means "great wind." The word\'s 39 to touffon is only by chance. The modern form of the word – typhoon – was influenced by the Cantonese but 40 to make it appear more Greek.

40. H本题考查动词。根据划线部分前后，此处需要一个动词和前面的influence构成并列关系，结合语义"typhoon这个单词收广东话的影响，但是又经过重新拼写使它看上去更像希腊语"，可知答案。

Why India\'s Pink City\' is a Photographer\'s Heaven

The city of Jaipur is one of India\'s wonders. It 31 some of the country\'s most decorative royal palaces-elegant structures designed hundreds of years ago that still attract visitors today. Largely built in the 1700s, Jaipur is surrounded by a city wall and several 32 castles. Considered as a commercial center, it was ahead of its time due to the use of grid iron (网格状) city planning.

A romantic dusty pink type-which has 33 the city since 1876, after it was painted pink towel come Queen Victoria\'s husband, Prince Albert-gives Jaipur its 34 as the "Pink City". This 35 beauty is what first brought Hong Kong-based photographers Victor Cheng and Samantha Wong to Jaipur.

Walking in glass skyscrapers for century-old royal palaces and historic castles, the pair-who have 130,000 Instagram followers between them-said that the images they 36 in Jaipur received a lot of response online. "A lot of our followers hadn\'t seen this side of India, so we\'re happy we were able to show this side of the country." Cheng said.

For the photographers, one of the city\'s most fascinating features is the light pink coloring of its buildings. "The first gate you see when you enter are pink," said Wong. "Once you\'re through, everything around you varies in different 37 of the color-from bright pinks to reddish browns."

The building is a(n) 38 of the City Palace, and its windows allowed royal women to observe street life without appearing in public. One of Cheng\'s most striking photos shows a straight front of the building and its hundreds of windows. The building\'s lively coloring also pushed Cheng to take a different 39 to editing than with images of other cities. "I toned down my usual editing process because the pink was so bright in reality," he said, "I wanted the photos to 40 the actual color I was seeing myself and to maintain its tone.

Computer reads brain activity to find out the music each person is listening to

In the experiment, six volunteers heard 40 pieces of classical music, rock, pop, jazz, and others. The neural(神经的) fingerprint of each song on participants\' brain was 31 by the Magnetic Resonance (MR) machine while a computer was learning to identify the brain patterns drawn out by each musical piece. Musical 32 such as tone, volume, rhythm and beat were taken in account by the computer.

After that, researchers expected that the computer would be able to do the 33 way: identify which song participants were listening to, based on their brain activity -- a technique known as brain decoding. When faced two options, the computer showed up to 85% 34 in identifying the correct song, which is a great performance, comparing to previous studies.

Researchers then pushed the test even 35 by providing not two but 10 options (e.g. one correct and nine wrong) to the computer. In this situation, the computer correctly identified the song in 74% of the decisions.

In the future, studies on brain decoding and machine learning will create possibilities of communication 36 any kind of written or spoken language. "Machines will be able to translate our musical thoughts into songs," says Sebastian Hoefle, researcher from D\'Or Institute and PhD student from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The study is a result of a 37 between Brazilian researchers and colleagues from Germany, Finland and India.

According to Hoefle, brain decoding researches provide 38 to understand neural functioning and interact with it using artificial intelligence. In the future, he expects to find answers for 39 like "what musical characteristics make some people love a song while others don\'t? Is our brain 40 to prefer a specific kind of music?"
