2025年高考英語考點過考點52完形填空議論文

考點52完形填空議論文高考頻度：★★★★★議論文是一種通過剖析事物或論述事理來提出主張或發(fā)表見解的文體。議論文分為兩種，一種是夾敘夾議型，另一種是純議論型。議論文是一種剖析事理、論述事物、發(fā)表見解或提出主張的說理性文章。議論文的目的不僅是客觀地解釋事物，還力圖說服讀者相信并接受某一觀點。議論文是高考完形填空題中較難的一種體裁，它一般由三個要素組成：論點、論據(jù)和結(jié)論。做好這類題的關(guān)鍵在于要抓住作者的論點。議論文中對于論點的提出通常有三種形式：1.開門見山，直接提出論點在有些議論文中作者開頭就提出論點，通過論證，最后提出自己的看法，或提出另一個話題供大家討論。一般來說，這種形式的議論文作者態(tài)度明確，我們也能很容易地把握作者對某一件事的看法。2.導(dǎo)入式提出論點在有些議論文中，作者并不是直接提出自己的觀點，而是通過對某一現(xiàn)象的論述來贊揚(yáng)或批評某一事物，進(jìn)而提出自己的觀點，然后再用具體的論據(jù)去證明自己的觀點。3.水到渠成式得出結(jié)論在有些議論文中作者開頭只是列舉一系列生活中的現(xiàn)象，而不是表明自己的觀點，通過對具體現(xiàn)象的分析，最后自然得出結(jié)論，而此結(jié)論就是文章的論點。議論文形式的完形填空不像記敘文形式的完形填空那么有情景。因此，我們對整個文章的把握相對來說也難得多。解答這類題要遵循下列原則：1.從首尾句入手，抓住中心議論文的寫作思路一般為：提出問題→分析問題→解決問題。因此，文章的第一、二句話通常為文章的主題句，而文章的結(jié)尾句常為文章的結(jié)論。由此可見，我們必須充分利用文章的首尾句，推測出文章的中心，從而理解全文。2.緊扣信息詞，把握作者觀點考生要弄清文章的行文邏輯，如轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系、因果關(guān)系、遞進(jìn)關(guān)系、對比關(guān)系、讓步關(guān)系、指代關(guān)系等。有時文章的第一、二段并不是作者的觀點，而是對某個事物的介紹或描述，然后用信息詞，如but，however，yet等將自己的觀點引出，因此，閱讀時一定要特別留意這些信息詞。3.從語境入手，確定邏輯關(guān)系句與句之間總要反映出因果、假設(shè)、條件、類推等邏輯關(guān)系。這些邏輯關(guān)系常常通過ontheonehand,ontheotherhand,asaresult,asaconsequence,onthecontrary,aboveall,firstofall,secondly,finally,incase等單詞或短語表達(dá)出來。但有時作者并不使用這些單詞或短語，而是將邏輯關(guān)系暗含于文章中，這就需要考生根據(jù)語境來確定邏輯關(guān)系。4.理清文章的論點、論據(jù)和結(jié)論如果我們連論點、論據(jù)、結(jié)論都沒把握住的話，只能是漫無目的地選擇答案了。一般說來，能說明論點的答案可以在論據(jù)里得到印證，且作為論點的某些答案也可以與論據(jù)有機(jī)地結(jié)合起來，使論點與論據(jù)相輔相承，從而使整篇文章上下一致。如果我們所選的答案前后矛盾，論點與論據(jù)相悖，最后的結(jié)論與論點自相矛盾，那就說明我們對文章的把握缺乏條理性和系統(tǒng)性，我們就需重新來理順文章的各部分，直到條理清楚為止，然后再根據(jù)自己對文章的把握及各部分的邏輯關(guān)系選出答案。It’sbothastrengthandweaknessofhumannaturethatwe’reneversatisfiedforlong.Whateverwehave,whereverweare,mostofuswantmoreandbetterthings.Whenwe1moneyorpower,our2canturnintothegreedthatcrushourhappinessandambition.Butinmanyotherareasofourlife,our3formoreandbetterthingscanbeavery4thing.Forexample,inbusinessweshould5struggleforimprovementandinnovation.Similarly,whenwe6thequalityofoureducationalorhealthcaresystems,governmenthonestyorefficiency,orthegeneralstateofsocialjustice,weshouldneverbe7.Eveninourpersonallives,weshould8forbetterrelationshipsbyimprovingmunicationskillsandorganizingourlivesbetter.Andthere’snothingwrongwith9abetterjob,onethat’smoreintellectuallychallenging,emotionally10,financiallyworthwhile,andsociallysignificant.whatwehave.Yousee,whatwehaveisworthyof13andappreciation,even14wetryhardformore.Notbeingsatisfieddoesn’thavetobethesameasbeingdissatisfied.15isanegativestateofmind.It’sa16ofunhappiness.Thusit’simportanttofinda17placebetweensatisfactionanddissatisfaction.Thatplacecanbethestateofpleasure18bytrueappreciationofwhatonehasandtheabilityto19it.Inthedevelopmentofgood,better,andbest,betterandbestaresuperior20good.Butgoodisstillgood.Enoughcanbegood.1.A.respondedto B.remindedof C.focusedon D.wonback2.A.anxiety B.greed C.shyness D.aim3.A.satisfaction B.preference C.regret D.desire4.A.funny B.terrible C.strange D.good5.A.continually B.wisely C.slightly D.roughly6.A.assess B.maintain C.reduce D.affect7.A.embarrassed B.confused C.satisfied D.discouraged8.A.prepare B.strive C.apply D.wait9.A.giving B.quitting C.doing D.wanting10.A.rewarding B.frightening C.disturbing D.disgusting11.A.connection B.difference C.balance D.parison12.A.contributing B.appreciating C.rejecting D.gathering13.A.consideration B.protection C.collection D.gratitude14.A.as B.if C.because D.until15.A.plaint B.Anger C.Dissatisfaction D.Selfishness16.A.variety B.shape C.definition D.form17.A.fortable B.quiet C.beautiful D.distant18.A.marked B.signed C.approved D.displayed19.A.protect B.set C.store D.enjoy20.A.with B.at C.to D.for【答案解析】3.D【解析】4.D【解析】根據(jù)下面的例子可知，此處表示有的時候人們渴望更多更好的東西是一件非常好的事情。5.A【解析】根據(jù)后面的＂struggleforimprovementandinnovation＂可知，在商業(yè)上，我們應(yīng)該持續(xù)不斷地爭取改進(jìn)和創(chuàng)新。6.A【解析】根據(jù)后面的＂thequalityofoureducationalorhealthcaresystems,governmenthonestyorefficiency＂可知，此處表示當(dāng)我們評估教育制度或醫(yī)療(服務(wù))體系的優(yōu)劣、政府的誠信或效率等的時候，我們從來不會滿足。7.C【解析】與上文中的＂desireformoreandbetterthings＂呼應(yīng)，此處指我們從來不會滿足。8.B【解析】根據(jù)上文中的＂struggleforimprovementandinnovation＂可知這里表示爭取更好的關(guān)系。9.D【解析】結(jié)合上文中的＂mostofuswantmoreandbetterthings＂可知此處應(yīng)用wanting。10.A【解析】該空所填詞應(yīng)與前后信息保持一致，即與＂intellectuallychallenging＂和＂financiallyworthwhile＂保持一致，rewarding意為＂有益的＂，因此選A。11.C【解析】根據(jù)前面的＂Toliveandenjoyagoodlife＂可知此處表示要想過好生活，我們應(yīng)該在想要更多的東西和感激現(xiàn)有的東西之間找到一個平衡。12.B【解析】與前面的＂wantingmorethings＂形成對比，此處指感激、珍惜現(xiàn)有的東西。13.D【解析】與后面的＂andappreciation＂呼應(yīng)，此處指我們現(xiàn)在擁有的東西值得我們感激。14.A【解析】as在這里表示＂當(dāng)……時＂。此處表示甚至在我們努力爭取更多的時候，我們也要感激現(xiàn)在擁有的東西。15.C【解析】根據(jù)下文中的＂betweensatisfactionanddissatisfaction＂可知答案為C。16.D【解析】這里指不滿足是不幸福的一種形式。17.A【解析】此處指作者認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該在滿足和不滿足之間找到一個合適的地方。18.A【解析】根據(jù)空格前后的信息可知，此處指以真正感激現(xiàn)在擁有的東西為標(biāo)志，故選A。19.D【解析】根據(jù)前面的＂appreciation＂可知這里表示能夠享有這些東西的能力。20.C【解析】besuperiorto是一個固定詞組，意為＂優(yōu)于/高于……＂。題組一（高考真題）Cloze1(2015·福建卷) Oneoftheeasiestthingsintheworldistobeeafaultfinder.However,lifecanbe1whenyouarenotbusyfindingfaultwithit.

12.C【解析】前句中的youngadults暗示下文談?wù)摰氖浅赡耆?。根?jù)文意可知，抱怨每天開車上班花費時間長的人，應(yīng)該是成年人。13.B【解析】而當(dāng)他們剛剛拿到駕照時，他們翹首企盼(eagerly)一次開好幾個小時。eagerly＂渴望地＂，符合文意。14.B【解析】obtain＂得到＂。這里指考取駕照。15.D【解析】在退休前，人們通常計劃(plan)做很多事情。16.A【解析】這些事情是他們上班時沒有時間做的大事(greatthings)。17.A【解析】參見上題解析。他們上班太忙了，沒有時間(time)做這些事情。18.D【解析】但是，退休后不久(soon)，像打高爾夫、釣魚、閱讀及其他所有的消遣方式都變得沒有意思了。19.C【解析】那些消遣方式就像他們剛離開(leave)的工作一樣，非常乏味。20.B【解析】這些退休老人遭遇的處境，就像一月的孩子一樣，開始找新玩具(toys)，尋求刺激了。題組二Cloze1【文章大意】本文講述了美國人對于時間的態(tài)度。1.C【解析】考查動詞。根據(jù)句意＂時間就像錢一樣，是可以被節(jié)約或花費或浪費的東西嗎？＂，故選C項。A項bought表＂買＂，B項ignored表＂忽視；不理睬＂，D項kill表＂殺死；消磨（時間等）＂。2.A【解析】考查固定短語，havecontrolover…是固定短語，表＂控制……＂，故選A項。3.D【解析】考查連詞。根據(jù)前兩句＂Istimethesameallovertheworld?That'saneasyquestion,yousay.＂可知，此處應(yīng)表示地點，故選D項，wherever引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，表＂不論在……的地方＂。4.D【解析】考查固定短語。該空所在的句子用＂But＂表示轉(zhuǎn)折，此處應(yīng)表示＂在美國，時間并不僅僅是那樣（morethanthat）＂，選D項。A項lessthan＂少于＂，B項nomorethan＂不僅僅＂，C項notmorethan＂不超過＂。5.A【解析】考查名詞。根據(jù)句意＂美國人把時間看作是寶貴的資源＂，故選A項resource。B項material＂材料＂，C項source＂來源＂，D項factor＂因素＂。7.C【解析】考查名詞。根據(jù)句意＂對美國人來說，準(zhǔn)時是表示他們尊重別人時間的一種方式＂，故選C項respect。A項preference表＂偏好＂，B項mercy表＂仁慈＂，D項hatred表＂憎恨＂均不合題意。8.A【解析】考查動詞短語。結(jié)合上句，美國人準(zhǔn)時是尊重別人的時間，故比約定時間遲到十分鐘以上就需要道歉或者做出解釋，故選A項callsfor（需要；要求）。B項arisefrom表＂由……引起＂，C項makesfor表＂有助于，促進(jìn)＂，D項resultsfrom表＂由……引起＂。9.C【解析】考查定語從句。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該空與arerunninglate構(gòu)成主謂結(jié)構(gòu)，位于名詞people之后，是定語從句。定語從句缺少作主語的指人的引導(dǎo)詞，故用C項who。10.D【解析】考查名詞。結(jié)合句意，那些比預(yù)期晚到的人通常會提前打，為的是告知對方自己會耽擱，故選D項delay。A項time＂時間＂，B項result＂結(jié)果＂，C項explanation＂解釋＂。11.B【解析】考查介詞短語。結(jié)合下句可知在非正式聚會時，人們通常會比預(yù)定時間遲到三十分鐘，故場合越不正式，準(zhǔn)時就越不重要，選B項ontime。A項intime表＂及時＂，C項aheadoftime表＂提前＂，D項overtime表＂經(jīng)過一段時間＂。12.C【解析】考查介詞短語。根據(jù)句意可知，該句是對上句的舉例說明，故選C項forexample＂例如＂。A項suchas＂例如＂，但其后面應(yīng)加名詞或代詞，而不能是一個句子；B項inaword＂總之＂；D項asusual＂像往常一樣＂。13.B【解析】考查動詞。根據(jù)句意，人們在非正式聚會時會比約定的時間遲長達(dá)三十分鐘的時間，故選B項appointed，appointedtime表＂約定的時間＂。A項＂assigned＂＂分配；指派＂；C項approved＂批準(zhǔn)；贊成＂；D項assessed＂評定＂。14.C【解析】考查賓語從句。根據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)可知該空是賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞；結(jié)合句意，表示美國人尊重別人時間的程度，故用C項howmuch。A項howmany表數(shù)量；B項howfar表距離；D項howsoon表時間，＂多久＂。15.A【解析】考查動詞。結(jié)合下句＂oncethetimeisfixed＂可知，人們在計劃一件事時，通常會提前幾天或幾周設(shè)定日期，故用A項set。16.A【解析】考查名詞。人們計劃一件事時，需提前定日期，故一旦時間定好了，要改變就不容易了，或許要有突發(fā)事件的發(fā)生，選A項emergency。B項pleasure＂快樂＂；C項period＂時期＂；D項emotion＂情感＂。17.D【解析】考查動詞。根據(jù)生活常識，要去別人家做客，首先應(yīng)打問問對方是否方便，故選D項call。19.B【解析】考查情態(tài)動詞。結(jié)合句意，人們在晚上很晚的時候給別人打也會猶豫，擔(dān)心對方或許休息了，表不太肯定的推測用might。20.D【解析】考查固定短語。thinktwice是固定結(jié)構(gòu)，表示＂三思＂。Cloze2【文章大意】文章介紹人際交往中一個重要的原則——要以誠相待。1.B【解析】根據(jù)下文＂butthetruthisthathappycouplesmunicatehonestly＂可知，真相有很多。truth真相。故選B。2.A【解析】根據(jù)下文＂municatehonestly＂可知，但是有一個真正重要的，所有非常好的和健康的關(guān)系共同具備的東西是誠實。honesty誠實。故選A。3.C【解析】根據(jù)下文＂butthetruthisthathappycouplesmunicatehonestly＂是的，當(dāng)然，即使在最好的關(guān)系中也有一些小小的善意的謊言。whitelies善意的謊言。故選C。4.C【解析】根據(jù)下文＂unexpectedbirthdayparties＂可知，這里是周年的驚喜或者出乎意料的生日宴會。anniversary周年。故選C。5.A【解析】根據(jù)上文＂therearesomelittle
