完形填空真題解析2
一、(2011·北京)
I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And__1__otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always__2__to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this__3__after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy__4__because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the__5__to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “__6__for
it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the try-outs was only the__7__of it! When I first started__8__the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much__9__what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get__10__and take a shot at the wrong direction,which made me feel really stupid.__11__, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to__12__on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t__13__“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the__14__and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive__15__in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the__16__—friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my__17__self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “__18__”
in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,__19__raising my hand- even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent__20__I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

1. A. as
B. until
C. unless
D. though
解析 考查邏輯關(guān)系,and提示前后句間是并列關(guān)系,前一句說我不喜歡被別人關(guān)注,那么我一定總是坐在無人關(guān)注的角落,那么老師指派座位不過是一個想法、一種假設(shè),于是選擇C。
答案 C
2. A. hoped
B. agreed
C. meant
D. chose
解析 考查動詞,我對于坐在教室的后面是自我選擇的。
答案 D
3. A. continued
B. changed
C. settled
D. started
解析 考查動詞,根據(jù)文章敘述,在參加了運動隊后我之前的狀況顯然是改變了。選擇B。
答案 B
4. A. idea
B. plan
C. belief
D. saying
解析 考查名詞,老師建議我參加籃球隊這顯然是一個想法,而我認(rèn)為這很瘋狂。
答案 A
5. A. right
B. chance
C. ability
D. patience
解析 考查名詞,與其他人保持同步這是我的一種“能力”的體現(xiàn),這與“權(quán)利”、“機(jī)會”或者“耐心”沒有任何關(guān)聯(lián)。
答案 C
6. A. going
B. looking
C. cheering
D. applying
解析 考查動詞,it顯然指代我參加籃球隊這件事情,那么對這件事情老師堅持的就是讓我去嘗試。其他選項中,“歡呼”與“看”顯然是無關(guān)選項,而既然老師已經(jīng)積極鼓勵我說明他已經(jīng)同意了,無需我再申請,那么排除D,最終選擇A。
答案 A
7. A. point B. half
C. rest
D. basis
解析 考查名詞,句末的嘆號提示這里有極端情況出現(xiàn),所以才會感嘆。而鼓起勇氣去參加選拔賽僅僅是成功的“一點”、“剩下”或者“基礎(chǔ)”顯然不合理,于是選擇B,僅僅是一半,體現(xiàn)了感嘆。
答案 B
8. A. enjoying
B. preparing
C. attending
D. watching
解析 考查動詞,根據(jù)動作的先后順序,我顯然鼓起勇氣參加了選拔賽,而后文又說我不懂規(guī)則,那么昭示著我此時正在訓(xùn)練賽中,選擇C,參加比賽。
答案 C
9. A. less
B. later
C. worse
D. further
解析 考查形容詞,修飾后半句“我正在做的事情”,因為前文交代了我的平衡能力差,跟不上大家的步伐,甚至不知道規(guī)則,那么我此時的事情必然是欠缺,于是選擇A。
答案 A
10. A. committed
B. motivated
C. embarrassed
D. confused
解析 考查形容詞,修飾我的狀態(tài)。那么能把球投進(jìn)自己的籃筐,顯然我這時是混亂了,于是選擇D。confused的確切含義是“混亂”,指遇到某事大腦一片空白,不知道如何處理的狀態(tài)。
答案 D
11. A. Interestingly
B. Fortunately
C. Obviously
D. hopefully
解析 考查副詞,修飾后一句“我不是唯一的新人”,選擇B。
答案 B
12. A. focus
B. act
C. rely
D. try
解析 考查動詞,該動詞與介詞on構(gòu)成詞組修飾后句“學(xué)習(xí)打球”。
答案 A
13. A. want
B. do
C. support
D. know
解析 考查動詞,修飾后句“just yet”(恰好現(xiàn)在),那么我不滿現(xiàn)狀而加倍努力訓(xùn)練,現(xiàn)在又說恰好現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)我不對自己太過苛責(zé),那么首先可排除“支持”,無關(guān)選項;而因為我在發(fā)奮努力訓(xùn)練,現(xiàn)在“想要”或者“支持”的東西自然是要嚴(yán)格要求的,那么排除A、B,最終選D,不對自己恰在此時不知道的東西過多苛責(zé)。
答案 D
14. A. steps
B. orders
C. rules
D. games
解析 考查名詞,前文敘述我連規(guī)則都不知道,于是發(fā)奮練球的直接結(jié)果就是知道了規(guī)則并且已經(jīng)知道了動作。
答案 C
15. A. roles
B. part
C. mind
D. value
解析 考查名詞,與形容詞competitive及動詞詞組win over(爭取到)相關(guān)聯(lián),那么首先可排除D。競爭與價值不能匹配;而我的競爭絕不是一個“角色”那么簡單,也不僅在于“思想”,于是選擇B。
答案 B
16. A. process
B. operation
C. movement
D. situation
解析 考查名詞,破折號的作用是解釋說明,那么知道尊重我的努力的朋友一定是看到我的成長的朋友,也即我在這個過程中認(rèn)識的朋友,于是選擇A。
答案 A
17. A. expressed
B. improved
C. preserved
D. recognized
解析 考查形容詞,根據(jù)前文敘述,我是一個由沒自信到擁有自信的人,那么我的自信是不斷增加的,于是選擇B。
答案 B
18. A. dreaming
B. playing
C. relaxing
D. hiding
解析 考查動詞,根據(jù)后半句的修飾,我在教室的后面坐是在“隱藏”自己,選擇D。
答案 D
19. A. by
B. for
C. with
D. to
解析 考查介詞,破折號強(qiáng)調(diào)解釋說明,后文說有事我沒有百分百把握自己知道正確答案,但是我都會去舉手,這表示一種將要做的動作,于是選擇D。
答案 D
20. A. lucky
B. happy
C. sure
D. satisfied
解析 考查形容詞,even的出現(xiàn)提示讓步關(guān)系可以知道,我舉手甚至在不百分百確定答案的時候,于是選擇C。
答案 C
