08浙江卷所选的文章题材生活化，体现了语言的真实性。具体地说，完形填空的语料涉及高中学生对童年生活的回忆，夹叙夹议，情节清晰，富有哲理，考生易于理解和接受。试题的设置仍有伏击点，但整体难度适中。
In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call __21__and love.
21．A. . desire B. joy C. anger D. worry
B。分析：此题有两个突破口，第一个是“and”这个并列连接词，后面是“ love”，所以排除C和D，再结合文章开头和下文，文章开头说“在我的记忆深处，我与父亲一起做的许多事情现在仍然记忆犹新。下文说父亲曾经在游泳池看儿子游泳，游泳之后，儿子去父亲的办公室玩自己喜欢玩的东西。对作者来说当然是快乐的回忆。所以只能选B。
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool. But he did __22__the water.
22．A. . a, void B. refuse C. praise D. love
D。分析：根据下文“A. ny kind of __23__ride seemed to give him pleasure.”和“ he loved to fish”，当然是选love。
A. ny kind of __23__ride seemed to give him pleasure.
23．A. . boat B. bus C. train D. bike<, /P>
A. 。分析：与水有关的当然是乘船。
__24__he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
24．A. . But B. Then C. A. nd D. Still
C。分析：此题考查连词。上一句提到乘船给他乐趣，后面提到喜欢钓鱼，所以是递进关系。
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being __25__the water, moving through it, __26__it all around me.
25．A. . on B. off C. by D. in
D。分析：此题考查介词。根据“moving through it”，而“it”指的是水，所以选D。
26．A. . having B. leaving C. making D. getting
A. 。分析：此题考查非谓语动词和几个相关动词的用法。说实话，此题难度较大。考生会误选B或D。
I was not a strong __27__, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my __28__.
27．A. . swimmer B. rider C. walker D. runner
A. 。分析：下文提到游泳，所以选A. 。
28．A. . hopes B. faiths C. rights D. fears
D。分析：前文提到作者没有很早学游泳，而且根据常理小孩子应该是害怕。
But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and __29__those summer days with my father, who __30__ come by on a break.
29．A. . spending B. saving C. wasting D. ruining
A. 。分析：此句的意思是我喜欢在离父亲办公室很近的那个游泳池游泳，与父亲一起度过夏日。其它几个动词意思不符。
30．A. . should B. would C. had to D. ought to
B。分析：此题考查情态助动词的用法。此处“would”表示过去常常做某事。“should”意为“应该”，“had to”不得不，“ought to”应该。
I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the __31__person not in swimsuit.
31．A. . next B. only C. other D. last
B。分析：根据常识，在游泳池的人一般都是穿着泳装，而我父亲没有穿，所以选“only”。
A. fter swimming, I would go __32__ his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me __33__anything I found in his top desk drawer.
32．A. . away from B. out of C. by D. inside
D。分析：游泳结束后，作者到父亲的办公室玩。
33．A. . put up B. break down C. play with D. work out
C。分析：“put up”意为张贴，搭建，为某人提供食宿；“break down”机器出故障，身体垮掉，感情失去控制，分解。“ work out ”计算出，想出。“play with” 与…玩。小孩子从抽屉里找可以找到的东西，当然是用来玩。
Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk __34__ he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his _35__.
34．A. . the moment B. the first time C. while D. before
C。分析：此题考查对语境的理解和从属连词的用法。“the moment”意为“一…就” ， “the first time” 第一次，“while” 在此处意为“而，然而”，表示转折对比。
35. A. . fishing net B. office things C. wooden chair D. lab equipment
B。分析：此题考查对语境的理解。上文提到作者在父亲的办公室从抽屉里找东西玩，所以选B。
But my father always __36__and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s __37__.”
36. A. . stood up B. set out C. showed up D. turned out
C。分析：此题考查动词短语的区别。“stood up”意为站起来，“set out ”出发, 开始, 陈列, 宣布, 移植, 陈述 ，“turned out”结果是，被证明是。只有“showed up”出现，才符合语境。
37. A. . fine B. strange C. terrible D. funny
A. 。分析：“Oh, no, it’s fine .”指的是没关系的，父亲允许儿子玩办公室的东西。
Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get __38__ an ice cream…
38. A. . the student B. the assistant C. myself D. himself
C。分析：此处当然是让儿子给自己买冰激凌吃。
A. poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood,; the rest is __39__.”
39. A. . memory B. wealth C. experience D. practice
A. 。分析：解题的突破口 应该是上文的文章开头的“my memory”和下文的“our memories”，做完形应该瞻前顾后，注意某些词语在文章中的复现。
A. nd I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but __40__, in that childhood, look at us.
40. A. . which B. who C. what D. whose
B。分析：作者回忆了童年时期父亲观看他游泳和在父亲办公室里可以玩一些从抽屉里找到的东西，从而给他带来了美好的回忆，至今记忆犹新。所以发出了“童年时期，谁看着我们长大的也是很重要的”感慨。
方法提炼
夹叙夹议型题，解题需要“瞻前顾后”，通过上下文暗示考查考生对语意、语境、语篇的深层次理解，并在掌握文章主旨大意的基础上，正确理解句与句、段与段之间的内在联系。

Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these__21__are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are__22__and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows__23__ and pale and has changed so much that it is almost__24__ to the parents. It was then__25__ that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and__26__ the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended__27__. However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the__29__ baby back. You could__30__the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.
21. A. . babies B. believers C. fairies D. supermen
22. A. . powerful B. cruel C. frightened D. extraordinary
23. A. . sick B. slim C. short D. small
24. A. . uncomfortable B. unbelievable C. unacceptable D. unrecognizable
25. A. . feared B. predicted C. heard D. reported
26. A. . covered B. changed C. replaced D. terrified
27. A. . cases B. tools C. steps D. methods
28. A. . missed B. stolen C. found D. lost
29. A. . 1ittle B. pale C. sad D. real
30. A. . seize B. burn C. place D. hold
解析：
本文主要是说英国的神话故事中非所有仙女都是善良的，有的很残酷，常给人们带来痛苦。
21. C 结合前句可知，本句意为“并不是所有的仙女(fairies)都像迪斯尼电影中出现的人物那样友善、讨人喜爱”。
22. B 与前面的friendly相对，后面的and cause much human suffering也说明了这一点。
23. A. 由与之并列的pale (苍白)可知，是有病的婴儿。
24. D 因为“变化如此之大”，所以父母也“无法识别，辨不出来”。
25. A. 孩子变得辨认不出来了，这时“人们担心(it is feared that…)”被仙女来换了一个孩子了。
26. C 由前文stolen the baby away可知，是用a fairy Changeling来取代了the human baby；表示“取代”用replace = take the place of。
27. D 由前文的many ways可知，与ways同义的是methods。
28. B 由前文stolen the baby away可知。
29. D 与用来取代的假的相对，应当为“真的”。
30. C 把the Changeling“放到”火上面。

“My__41__was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I__42__to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can__43__the pitch of a note(音调高低) by the vibrations(振动) I feel through my body and through my__44__. My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every__45__that I have.”
“I was __46__ to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal A. cademy of Music in London. No other deaf student had__47__this before and some teachers__48__my admission. Based on my performance, I was__49__admitted and went on to__50__ with the academy’s highest honors.”
“A. fter that, I established myself as the first full-time solo percussionist. I __51__ and arranged a lot of musical compositions since__52__had been written specially for solo percussionists.”
“I have been a soloist for over ten years. __53__the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t__54__ that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be __55 __by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”
36. A. . conditions B. opinions C. actions D. recommendations
37. A. . enjoying B. choosing C. taking D. giving
38. A. . sight B. hearing C. touch D. taste
39. A. . evidence B. result C. excuse D. cause
40. A. . left B. excited C. accompanied D. disappointed
41. A. . purpose B. decision C. promise D. goal
42. A. . turned B. learned C. used D. ought

解析：
讲述的是英国著名聋女打击乐手Evelyn Glennie成功的故事。本文中的很多词汇，如：solo、percussion等在牛津英语教材模块八第二单元中均有所涉及。
36. B。从上下文可知Glennie不想让别人的看法(the opinions of others)左右自己成为音乐家的理想。A. 条件；C项行动；D项推荐。
37. C。Glennie八岁开始学习钢琴。take lessons上课，固定短语。
38. B。 从下文可知，Glennie听觉(hearing)逐渐失去，直到12岁时完全失聪(completely deaf)。
39. D．神经损伤(the nerve damage)是Glennie失去听觉的主要原因(cause)。evidence证据；result结果；excuse借口。
40. “我对音乐的爱从来没有离开过我。”根据never，句意否定，所以B项excite sb.令人激动，C项accompany sb.陪伴某人不正确。D项应为disappear from sb.。
41. D。人生的目标 (goal ),purpose目的；decision决定；promise许诺。
42. B。“我学会了‘听’(learn to do)音乐。”turn to转向(某人寻求帮助)；used to 过去常常(做某事)；ought to应该做某事。
43. A. 。tell 辨别；see看到；hear听到；smell闻到。句意是：通过振动来辨别音调的高低。
44. C。据句意，为了分辨音调的高低，除了通过身体对振动的感觉，还可以通过我的想象(imagination)。因为Glennie以前没有失聪过，所以不会有experience(经验)；而carefulness(细心)和身体的movement(运动)对聋人来说是无法分辨音调高低的。
45. A. 。“我只有通过调动全部的感觉(sense)器官”才能弥补失聪的遗憾来感受周围世界。定语从句I have修饰的我能拥有的sense 感觉、effort努力、feeling感情、idea想法中A. 项符合句意。
46. C。Glennie下定决心(be determined to do)要被别人评价为一名音乐家，而不是一名聋人音乐家。dissatisfied不满意的； astonished惊讶的；discouraged气馁的。A. 、B、D都是Glennie对别人评价的反应，而Glennie这时实际上还没有成名，所以不可能有这些感觉。
47. A. 。“以前没有失聪学生做过(done)这件事(applied to the Royal A. cademy of Music)”。A. ccept接受，advise建议，admit承认。根据语意，A. 项正确。
48. D。因为以前没有失聪学生被录取，所以一些老师反对(oppose)Glennie进入the Royal A. cademy of Music。
49. B。由于Glennie的表现，最终(finally)被录取。
50. C。以最高的荣誉从the Royal A. cademy of Music毕业(graduate)。
51. A. 。作曲write musical compositions。
52. D。自己作曲的原因是很少有人(few)专门为打击乐器独奏演员作曲。
53. B。尽管医生认为Glennie完全聋了，但并不意味着她的热情被忽视了。A. lthough引导让步状语从句。从语意判断，B项最佳。
54. A. 。mean意味着。conclude作结论。
55. D。Glennie根据自己的切身体会告诫人们：不要被别人这样那样的说法所禁锢(limit)。

根据记叙文的按事件顺序发展特点这个思路是解题的突破口。

44. C考查上下文的意义的联系。本段第一句话意思是“在期末考试前还有一次测验，所以他还有一次机会提高他的成绩。
45. D考查上下文的意义的联系。他加倍努力学习，所以他第一次学习到了“thorough”这个词的意思。“thorough”意思是“完全的、深入的”。
46. C考查上下文的意义的联系。上文提到他加倍努力，这里意思是“努力也没有用”。
47. B 考查词的不同意义。一切的进展和以前一样，went 指“进展”。Stayed 指“停留”。
48. A. 考查上下文的意义的联系。到期末的时候，无论我获得什么高分数， 都不能去掉三个C-plus 的分数。
49. A. 考查上下文的意义的联系。本文第一句话，就提到他希望得到奖学金，这里说的是他可能与奖学金擦肩而过。
50. C考查上下文的意义的联系。他觉得此课程学得很好了，不用学了。在期末考试的前一天晚上，他看一部电影来款待自己。
51. A. 考查上下文的意义的联系。他决定把第二天的考试当作一次娱乐活动。与上文意义逻辑一致。
52. D考查上下文的意义的联系。一星期后，他惊讶地发现他获得了优秀成绩，立刻跑到教授的办公室。教授好像正盼望着他的到来。
53. C考查上下文的意义的联系。教授说：“如果我以前给了你所期待的优秀成绩，你就不会像这样努力地学习了”。
54. D考查上下文的意义的联系。我盯着他，意识到他的分析和策略是正确的。
55. D 考查不同词的意义差别。work my head off 指“全身心投入”。work out 意思是“做出，制定出”，work over 意思是“打击、伤害”，work on 意思是“继续工作”。

42. A. . honour此处是“带来荣誉，为纪念…”的意思。
43. C. 根据上下文意思，Frederick Douglass在Cedar Hill的家当然就成了“historic:有历史意义的”site，所以选择historic。
44. I．根据前后文意思，知道“这盛有Frederick Douglass个人财产的两层楼的房子，经过了三年的重新修缮后才向世人开放”，所以，选择I。
45. E. 根据上下文意思，Frederick Douglass成为第一个拥有政府办公室的黑人“市民”，所以选择citizen。
46. D．当Frederick Douglass年轻的时候，他从来没有能够去学校接受教育，因为当时在美国南部黑人受教育是不合法的，所以，他只能“秘密地自学”，故选择secretly。

解析：
21. D ，从drove以及下文making fun of her. 可以看出，应该是使她很生气。Crazy“非常生气”又如：That noise is driving me crazy.
Hopeless是令人失望的，而不是失望的，如：Most of the students are making good progress but Jeremy seems a hopeless case,大多数学生进步都很快, 但杰里米却似乎无可救药。
painful“使疼痛的，令人烦恼的”，而不是“烦恼的”。如：It was painful to admit that I was wrong. ,dull, 令人厌烦的; 单调的，而不是“烦恼的”如：: The conference was deadly dull.
备考： 本题中：除A. 以外的三个词，都是“令人……，使人感到……”，很显然用于the woman是不合适的。
22. B . 从run away with pears看出，应该是大声的喊，shout，大声说出。Whisper是低声说。Call做喊叫讲不带表示内容的的宾语。A. nnounce，通知。
23. A. . 从one evening 以及下文的next morning可看出是请求过夜。stay for the night 过夜，固定搭配。
24. B. 从常识可知，留宿陌生人应该考虑他是否是诚实。从下文let him in 看出是允许进入。故选B. honest，与下文This one did not look trustworthy to her呼应。
25. C . 既然允许过夜，接下来最有可能的应该是招待。treat 招待，款待，其它选项不符合情理。
26. D .从下文that引导同位语从句的内容看，应该是她的一个很难实现的愿望。suggestion 建议d, emand 要求 permission 允许，均对题意不符。
27. B 考点：同位语从句
wish是先行词，同位语从句谓语动词用should + 动词原形，另外，could不能与be able to连用
28. A. 根据上下文，没有她的允许不得下来。
29. D 到树上当然是偷摘果实(梨)了。branch 树枝； food 食物； tree 树，均不符合题意。
30. D 长时间的请求后，老太太才让梨树放他们下来。Before，在……之前，才……
31. B 当然是放偷梨的孩子走了。用them指代偷梨的孩子
32. C 这样的整治，孩子们当然不敢来了，老太太自然就没有这个麻烦了。
33. C 据上下文，有一个停在她家门前请求住宿。Stop at 在某处停下来。
34. A. 看见这个人不太可信，所以要查问他了。有因果关系
35. A. take sb with sb 带某人走，
36. B 从上下文可知，是摘一些梨作为纪念。从climb可以看出是要上树采摘，而不是挑选或摇动。
37. B 从文章一开始，She spent all her time taking care of the tree.可知老太太与这棵梨树的深厚感情。摘几颗梨应该是想记住它所带给她的快乐了。从文章中也没有看到，梨树给他带了什么荣誉、希望或者是什么兴奋的事情。
38. C 从climb high to get the best fruit可知，是老太太以“年老爬不上树”为由诱骗“death” 上树(进入陷阱)
39. B Will you be so kind to do sth 请求别人帮助，固定表达法。
40. C 从With a deep sigh可知，Death并不愿意为他爬树摘梨，但念及快要死的人了，就答应了，但不会很乐意的，unwillingly 不乐意地。Disappointedly是失望的，这里death并没有什么愿望，也就谈不上失望了。
方法提炼：
做完形填空一定要注意上下文。不可只看一句话。准确掌握词义，在学习这类形容词时，要尤其注意是主动意味，还是被动意味，又如：interesting 令人感兴趣的，有趣的，interested 感兴趣的。主动意味的多用于事物，被动意味的多用于人。The book is interesting. I’m interested in the book.
总而言之，做完形填空的秘诀是：
文章首句要重视，全篇理解有启示。
记叙体裁为主体，通读全文明意旨。
填空多是实意词，四个选项巧设计。
词类范畴必同一，确定最佳靠逻辑。
字里行间找信息，个别填空借常识。
相近词义细辨析，习惯用法靠记忆。
全文整体看仔细，复读反思再核实。
