题目内容
3.Are you a bookworm?Do you love to read?Your teachers probably tell you how important reading is all the time.And guess what?They're right!Reading helps you in many ways beyond just (25)being(be) able to read and get good grades in tests.Being an eager reader helps you become a good speller and writer.In fact,the more you read,the better you'll do in all your subjects.
Do you have friends who always have books in their hands?We bet they are caught (26)reading (read) almost all the time.Sometimes those people who love reading and even collecting books are called bookworms.Is it really (27)because they look like earthworms?No!So where did that nickname come from?
The term"bookworm"(28)has been used (use) since the 1500s.Way back then,libraries did not have the modern air conditioning systems (29)to control(control) the environment (30)surrounding (surround) the books.As a result,some old libraries became musty and attracted various pests,some of which then took the form of insects and worms loving to eat paper and stay inside of books,(31)where they would spend their entire lives.It was just natural to transfer the"bookworm"idea to humans who loved to consume books as much as these pests did.
So if you see a trip to the library (32)as an adventure and can't wait to read a new book,you're probably a bookworm.And that's OK!You are not alone and there are millions and even billions of us in the world.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了"书虫"本身的含义以及之后指代书籍爱好者的由来.
解答 25.being.本题目给出词汇be,所以本题目是词类变化的考察点,高考中短文填空词类变化出现动词,一般首先要判断该空是填谓语还是非谓语,由于该句是一个单句,只有一个谓语动词,又没有出现任何连接词或者省略连接词的情况,所以be在此空中是考查非谓语,由于空前是介词beyond,故后面使用be动词的-ing形式.
26.reading 本题也是给出动词,进行动词变化.由于句子中原本有bet,are caught 两个谓语结构,而其中bet之后的内容是其宾语从句,并且从句含义及成分完整,所以该空中也应该填非谓语结构,read和其前面相关的逻辑主语they是主动关系,并且他们被抓到正在读书,故使用reading.
27.because 考查介词,连词,情态动词等封闭词汇,我们发现句子有一个特殊结构开始,it is,遇到此类结构要小心,考查是否是强调句型,若是则为that;然而该句并非强调句型;再次我们发现句子有is,look两个谓语,进而应该有一个连接从句的连接词,我们发现从句不缺成分,所以使用副词性引导词,根据上下文含义,此句是在表示原因,故为because.
28.has been used 考查被动语态.该句给出动词use,并且本句没有其他谓语,所以该空填谓语动词形式,若填谓语动词,则要考虑时态和主被动,看到since想到完成时,根据上下文,描述该词从过去到现在都在使用,所以确定为现在完成时,此外主语bookworm和use明显是被动关系,故填has been used.
29.to control 考查动词不定式.该句设有29,30两个空,所以要将句子看完整,两空都是考查给出动词的变形问题.分析句子,该句只有一个谓语,所以29,30两空都应该填非谓语成分.29题根据上下文,讲述是"系统去控制",非谓语作为表示功能和目的含义,跟系统呈现主动关系,所以使用to control.
30.surrounding 考查非谓语,surround在该句中,逻辑主语是前面的the environment两者是主动关系,并且表示一种长期的状态,并非含有将要的意思,故用surrounding.
31.where.考查连接词.该句的句子较长,很多学生遇到长难句分析就无从下手了,还是找句子的谓语个数和连接词个数,其中谓语有became,took,would spend三个,连接词只有some of which一个,也并未发现省略的连接词,所以该空应该是填连接词,根据句子含义,后文"它们将会度过一生"是在前文"书"中,故为非限定性定语从句,修饰books表示地点,用where.
32.as 考查介词.该空未给词,根据空后的内容只有一个名词,故该空应该以介词为突破口,根据含义,该句理解为see sth as把…看做…,故用as介词词性,表示"作为…",类似短语regard…as…;故填as.
点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.
