今年的完型填空，很多學生普遍反應“叫難”，而不是較難。其中有難度的題有39題、42題和45題。我一向主張：不該錯的堅決不錯，改錯的一定要錯。一篇中考完型填空真正“該錯”的有幾道題呢？恐怕只有一道題。對于今年來說今年是45題，很多考生打死可能也不知道make the difference, 理由是從來沒學過。我舉雙手贊同，在放下雙手的同時我要輕輕抽他一下，因為我上課說過：一定要在考試前把歷年真題中的單詞和短語搞懂搞透，并且我發了補充講義《歷年中考完型閱讀核心單詞短語》中就有make the difference的意思“起作用，有影響”。

 

以上數據說明考生在背《中考英語考試說明》單詞表時應該先把動詞背掉（約400個），然后是形容詞（約150個），最后是名詞（約1000個）。具體要求是動詞、形容詞一定要全部背掉，一個不剩。名詞只需要著重背不會就可以了，做到八成熟即可。

 My father died when I was a few months old. After his death, my mother moved back to Louisville, Kentucky, where   35   had grown up. We lived in a small house with her older sister, Marion, and their mother. This was a time when being a single   36   was still considered unusual.

35.題選B，第一段第二句話：父親過世后，母親搬回到了_____長大的地方。不能選A和D ，因為從第一句話：My father died when I was a few months old，看出：那時候我才出生幾個月，還沒有grow up, 所以選she 指代母親本人。

36題選C。第一段最后一句話：那是一個人們依舊認為單身的_____是不正常的年代。還是聯系文章開頭第一句話：父親過世了，母親是我唯一的親人。所以選擇parent。

 When I was small, there was a children’s book called The Happy Family, and it was a real piece of work. Dad worked all day long at the office, Mom cooked in the kitchen, and brother and sister always had friends sleeping over. The image of the family in this book was typical (典型的) of the time. It looked   37   like my family, but luckily that wasn’t the way I heard it. The way my Aunt Marion read it to me made the story really   38  .

37題選A。第二段開頭第一句提到了一本書The Happy Family，第二句對書的內容進行了描述，第三句指出這種family在當時的典型性。所以說這種family和我的family截然不同，因為我沒有father（還是聯系文章開頭第一句話）。所以答案選nothing

由此可見：精讀文章第一句能直接幫助我們作對35、36、37一共3道題。

38題選D。37題后面有一個but luckily提示我們，38題應該選一個褒義詞，B和C是貶義詞，所以排除。A是中性詞，暫時保留，D是褒義詞，保留。把A和D代入38題比較，選出最佳答案D。

由此可見：轉折詞之后的內容是出題的重點。

 Kind-hearted and open-minded, my aunt was the one who played baseball with me, who took me horseback riding, who took me to the father-son dinners and who gave me lessons on how to drive. Believing that anything   39   was probably good for me, she   40   to get a loan (貸款) so that I could go to Africa to work as a volunteer, which was my most important experience.

 39題選D。直接讀到第三段第二句：相信任何_____的事可能對我有好處，她（Aunt Marion）貸款讓我去非洲……這道題的重點是probably（可能），提示我們修飾anything的詞不是褒義詞，否則probably就沒有必要出現了。所以排除A和B兩個褒義詞，然后把C. impossible (不可能的) 和D. unusual (不同尋常的) 分別代入檢驗，并且聯系第一段最后一句：This was a time when being a single   36   was still considered unusual.. 所以答案選D

這是本文跨度組大的一道題，找答案的范圍已經超出了本段。細心且記憶力好的考生占有一定的優勢。但是，如果能把歷年中考完型研究5-7遍的考生同樣也能作對。

40題選C。這道題要和第三段第一句話聯系起來：Kind-hearted and open-minded, my aunt was the one who…, who…, who… and who…句中用“心地善良、思想開明”來形容my aunt，所以40題選C最為合適offer（主動要求），A. decided（決定），D. prepared（準備）。A和D是正確選項，但都不如C精確。B. afforded（支付得起），意思錯誤。

 As a young girl, Aunt Marion always planned to have a large number of children of her own, but she never got married. This   41   that she was free to spend all her time taking care of me. Many people say we have a lot in common. She always   42   me to do my best. She never   43   to make me believe that I could do anything with my life that I wanted, if I only tried hard enough.

41題選B。第四段第一句話轉折詞but she never got married. This   41   that she was free to spend all her time taking care of me. 其中this指代的是”她一直沒有結婚”這件事，通過把四個選項依次代入檢驗, 最佳答案選B. meant（意味著），其它選項A. said （說），B. proved（證明了），D. showed (說明了)，都很勉強，所以排除。

42題選B。She always   42   me to do my best. 和40、41題解法相同，把四個選項依次代入檢驗：A. allowed (允許)，B. expected (期待)，C. invited (邀請)，D. forced (強迫)，所以答案選B最合適。D錯誤，因為Aunt對我很好，不可能強迫我做事。A和C都很勉強，所以不選。

40、41、42題考查單詞間細微的差別，是很多考生平日里所欠缺的，在短期內不易提高，需要平時的積累和反饋。

43題選D。She never   43   to make me believe that I could do anything with my life that I wanted, if I only tried hard enough. 不要漏看了never，動詞不定時to make me believe that…后面的內容都是Aunt Marion讓我相信的事。所以應該選一個貶義詞和never相互抵消。所以選D最合適。never fail to do sth. 表示“注定，一定能夠”。

背過新概念英語第三冊第9課Flying Cats的第一句話就是：Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. (貓總能引起人們極大的興趣。)

所以說，除非考生實力強到能把新三前30課第一段都倒背如流的地步，否則要作對43題只好靠技巧了。

 For more than sixty years, Aunt Marion didn’t and still doesn’t think of herself.   44   she is forced to come up to the front, my aunt will stand in the back in family photos, and she doesn’t think that her efforts have made much   45  . I honored my aunt, who taught me the things my   46   couldn’t. So every June for the past 40 years, in growing thankfulness to my Aunt Marion, I’ve sent her a Father’s Day card.

44題選A。  44   she is forced to come up to the front, my aunt will stand in the back in family photos, … 考查前后兩句話的邏輯關系，關鍵在于這一段第一句話：Aunt Marion didn’t and still doesn’t think of herself 說明Aunt Marion 從不為自己著想。所以選擇A. unless 表述“除非她被迫站到前面，否則她仍然站在后面。”

45題選A。考查固定短語。把選項依次代入檢驗：make much difference（起很大作用），make much progress (取得很大進步)，make much trouble（惹了很多麻煩），make much sense（有很大意義）。最佳答案選A。…and she doesn’t think that her efforts have made much   45  . 表示“她認為她的努力沒有起到很大的作用”，表現出她很謙虛。照應了這一段的第一句話：Aunt Marion didn’t and still doesn’t think of herself

46題選C。從最后一句話得到提示：So every June for the past 40 years, in growing thankfulness to my Aunt Marion, I’ve sent her a Father’s Day card.，我送給Aunt Marion父親節的賀卡，是因為她教給了我父親不能教給我的東西。所以答案選C。
