分析 本文讲述了作者悉心呵护栽种树木,因为失去爱树而伤心难过,其对树木的保护和爱惜贯穿全文.
解答 41-45 BACDC 46-50 DBCAD 51-55 ACBCA 56-60 DBCBB
41.B 考查形容词辨析 通读全文可知,这棵树作者养护了17年,期间历经风雨和磨难,对她而言自然意义非同一般,different正有此意.
42.A.考查动词辨析 纵览全文我们不难发现有很多的地方都写作者对树木尽心尽力的"保护""protect",这是全文的核心内容.
43.C.考查动词短语辨析 看下一行"in selling our downed trees",故选took down.
44.D.考查动词搭配辨析 本题考查固定搭配,join sb.in doing sth"跟某人一起做某事".
45.C.考查动词辨析 从下文five of the 10 blue spruce trees didn't survive being moved可知,应该选move.
46.D.考查形容词辨析 小树未能幸免于难,作者难免伤心"sadly",此情此景,怎一个"失望""disappointedly"或"难料""unexpectedly"可解?
47.B.考查动词辨析 幸存下来的小树.其他三个选项最起码得用被动语态吧.
48.C.考查介词辨析 此空前面的tower在这里用作动词,意思是"高耸,超越",搭配的介词自然就是over,表示那些花旗松凌驾于"我的树"之上.
49.A.考查动词辨析 根据空后面的my husband and my son decided they could drop it可知,大家是好好的商量了一番的,故选debate"辩论,争论".
50.D.考查动词辨析 根据后文可知,锯掉的死树正好倒在小树的中间,没砸到小树,故选hit.
51.A.考查动词辨析 就凭作者对树的那份情谊我们大体就可以知道答案了,更何况后面还有praying the whole time呢.
52.C.考查动词辨析 根据51空前的watched可以知道,锯树是别人的事,作者远远地"看着",没有接触电锯,所以其他三个选项不合适.
53.B.考查固定搭配辨析 根据前后文可知,此处考查固定搭配,as planned 正如计划的那样.
54.C.考查代词辨析 由空前的another可知,这是又一次暴风雨.
55.A.考查动词辨析 由这段的第一句Then one night I was lying in bed可知,我整夜听着屋外的风雨声,第二天早上,自然是"醒来发现",故选woke.
56.D.考查动词辨析 空后面是一个动名词watching,再考虑到语境,D最合适.
57.B.考查动词辨析 根据下文Losing my tree 可知我的树不只是倒了,"fallen";lost的意思是"丢失了",而gone才是"没有了,失去了".
58.C.考查动词辨析 根据后面的even though I knew it was nature's way(我得接受这样的现实)可知,痛失爱树令我难以接受.
59.B.考查动词辨析 形容词全文都在讲作者是怎样保护她的树的,所以这里是讲"我给我的树找了个安全的地方",故选safe.
60.B.考查动词辨析 一方面从文章看,我要像之前那样"看着我的树从小树苗长成参天大树";另一方面,空后面是一个原型动词,表明此空得用使役动词或感官动词.因此选watch.
点评 非等距离挖空的命题方式是完形填空的最大特色.短文首句不挖空,以便为考生理解全文留下足够信息,命题者根据考查目的进行挖空,造成信息链中断,这就要求考生依据上下文的文意捕捉到空白处的缺词.从近几年高考完形填空题看,纯语法知识几乎不考,主要考查考生灵活运用所学词汇的能力,尤其是以考查实词或信息词为主,着重考查考生对文章的内在逻辑和整体把握能力.因此,把握句间和段落之间的内在逻辑关系,通过上下文暗示,对篇章、段落或句意的整体把握;再则,干扰项的设置与语法结构无甚关系,重在文意干扰.因此,把握文意和具体语境,通过对词义的辨析,是解完形填空的最好手段.
