从完型填空到语法填空的华丽转身

1从完型填空到语法填空的华丽转身（取材于2011年—2014年广东省英语高考试题四篇完型填空）广东省揭阳市揭阳第二中学英语组王小敏高考试题是一种重要的习题资源，不仅注重考查学生对英语语言基础知识的掌握和理解程度，而且强化了考生在特定语言环境中综合运用语言知识的能力。同时考卷渗透了一种人文思想，传播了正能量，是各位教育专家智慧的结晶，因而成为学生练习的经典题目。对高考试题进行科学改编，既实现了陈题变新题的创新，又在训练中起到举一反三、触类旁通的作用。所以笔者将2011年-2014年的完形填空改编为语法填空，让学生进一步学习感知这些优秀文章的同时提升他们的语言知识的运用能力。2011年Ithasbeenarguedbysomethatgiftedchildrenshouldbegroupedinspecialclasses,The____1___(argue)hasbeenonthebeliefthatinregularclassesthesechildrenareheldbackintheirintellectual(智力的)growthbylearningsituationthathasdesignedfortheaveragechildren.Therecanbelittledoubt___2__specialclassescanhelpthegiftedchildrentograduateearlierandtaketheirplaceinlifesooner.However,totakethesechildrenoutoftheregularclassesmaycreateseriousproblems.Iobservedanumberofintelligentchildrenwho___3___(take)outofaspecialclassandplacedinaregularclass.Inthespecialclass,theyshowedlittleabilitytouse__4___ownjudgment,relying___5__(heavy)ontheirteachers’directions.Intheregularclass,___6___(have)noworryaboutkeepingup,theybegantoreflectdirectlyonmanyproblems,someof__7___werenotontheschoolprogram.Manyareconcernedthatgiftedchildrenbecomeboredandloseinterestinlearning.____8___,thisconcernismoreoftenfromparentsandteachersthanfromstudents,andsomeoftheseadultssimplyconcludethatspecialclassesshouldbeset___9__forthosewhoaretalented.Sometopstudentsdofeelboredinclass,butwhytheyfeelsogoesfarbeyondtheworktheyhaveinschool.Studieshaveshownthattobeboredistobeanxious.Thegiftedchildwhoisboredis___10__anxiouschild.22012年Weallknowthatsomethingsareobviouslyright.Forexample,itisrighttobekindtootherpeople.Itisalsorighttolookaftertheenvironment.Somethingsare___1____(clear)wrong,too.Forinstance,weshouldnothurtorbully(欺负)others,norshouldwelitter.Rulesoftentelluswhatisrightorwrong..Rulescanhelpthepublicmaketherightchoices,andremainsafe.Cardrivershavetoobeytrafficregulationsthattellthemtherightthingstodoontheroadtoavoidcrashes.Cyclists__2__givesignalsbeforeturningorstoppinghelppreventaccidents.Ifpeoplefollowruleswithouttakingothermattersinto____3___(considerate),itwillbeeasyforthemtoformwhatissometimescalled__4___“blackandwhite”view.Forexample,theymaybelievethatpeopleshouldalwaystellthetruth,andthatlyingisneveracceptable.Suchpeoplealwayssticktotheirviews,evenifitmeansthattheymayget___5___trouble.Sometimesitmaynotbesoeasytoknowexactlywhatisrightorwrong.Somepeoplechoosenottoeatmeat___6___theybelievethatitiscrueltoeatanimals,butothersarguethattheycaneatmeatandstillbekindtoanimals;someinsistthatstealingisalwayswrong,butothersthinkthatonedoesnotneedtofeelsoguiltywhen___7____(steal)somefoodtoeat,ifhelivesinareallypoorareaandheisstarving.Ruleshelpuslivetogetherinharmony,becausetheyshowustherightwaytotreatothers.____8___,somepeoplearguethatrulesmaybe__9_____(confuse),havingobservedthatruleschangeallthetime,andthatsomeschoolshavesomeregulationsand____10___havedifferentones----sowhoistodecidewhatisright?2013Numbersenseisnottheabilitytocount.Itistheabilitytorecognizeachangeinnumber.Humanbeingsarebornwiththisability.___1____(surprise)，3experimentsshowthatmanyanimalsare,too.Forexample,manybirdshavegoodnumbersense.Ifanesthasfoureggsandyouremoveone,thebirdwillnotnotice.However,ifyouremovetwo,thebirdgenerallyleaves.Thismeansthatthebirdknows___2____differencebetweentwoandthree.Anotherinterestingexperimentshowedabird'samazingnumbersense.Amanwastryingtotakeaphotoofacrow(乌鸦)__3___hadanestinatower,butthecrowalwaysleftwhenshesawhim___4__(come).Thebirddidnotreturnuntilthemanleftthetower.Themanhadanidea.Hetook___5___manwithhimtothetower.Onemanleftandtheotherstayed,buttheydidnotfoolthebird.Thecrowstayedawayuntilthesecondmanleft,too.Theexperiment___6_____(repeat)withthreemenandthenwithfourmen.Butthecrowdidnotreturntothenestuntilallthemenweregone.__7__wasnotuntilfivemenwentintothetowerandonlyfourleftthattheywerefinallyabletofoolthecrow.Howgoodisahuman'snumbersense?It'snotverygood.Forexample,babiesaboutfourteenmonthsoldalmostalwaysnotice___8__somethingistakenawayfromasmallgroup.Butwhenthenumbergoes___9___threeorfour,thechildrenareoftenfooled.Itseemsthatnumbersenseissomethingwehaveincommonwithmanyanimalsinthisworld,___10__thatourhumanabilityisnotmuchbetterthanacrow's.2014Parentsfeelthatitisdifficulttolivewithteenagers.Thenagain,teenagershavesimilarfeelingsabouttheirparents,sayingthat___1___isnoteasylivingwiththem.Accordingtoarecentresearch,themostcommonargument___2___parentsandteenagersisthatregardinguntidinessanddailyroutinetasks.Ontheonehand,parentsgomadovermessyrooms,clothesthrownonthefloorandtheirchildren’srefusaltohelpwiththehousework.Ontheotherhand,teenagerslosetheirpatience____3_____(continue)whenparentsblamethemfordroppingthetowelinthebathroom,notcleaninguptheirroomorrefusingtodotheshoppingatthesupermarket.4Theresearch,____4___(conduct)bySt.GeorgeUniversity,showsthatdifferentparentshavedifferentapproachestotheseproblems.However,someapproachesaremoresuccessfulthanothers.Forexample,thoseparentswhoyellattheirchildrenfortheiruntidiness,butlatercleantheroomforthem,have___5__(few)chancesofchangingtheirchildren’sbeha
