河南省重点高中高三英语-完形填空-分层学习手册

河南省重点高中高三英语完形填空分层学习手册适用对象：河南省2026届高三学生（参加新高考I卷），英语基础不同、希望针对性提升完形填空（Cloze）得分的同学。本手册按"入门—基础—精进"三档分层编写，可对照自评、按需取用。题型与分值：新高考I卷完形填空共15小题，每小题1分，满分约15分（1×15）。文章体裁以记叙文为主（约占80%），偶有夹叙夹议；篇幅约200—250词，设空较为均匀，首句通常不设空以提示主题与基调。三档说明：入门档（基础薄弱生，目标8—10分）：聚焦高频词、固定搭配与上下文复现，先稳拿"送分空"，建立做题信心。基础档（多数学生，目标11—13分）：在情感态度线索、句间逻辑、文化背景、高频词辨析上突破，减少"看似都对"的纠结。精进档（优秀生，目标14—15分）：攻克难词的语境义、隐晦逻辑与语篇连贯，追求零失误、冲满分。一、入门档（基础薄弱生）知识点：完形考查类型、上下文复现、固定搭配、词汇辨析入门（配方法）1.完形考查类型（按词性分布）动词（约30%）：考查动作先后顺序、主谓/动宾搭配。解题看"谁做动作、对谁做"。名词（约25%）：答案常由上文或下文"原词或同义复现"。形容词/副词（约30%）：体现人物情绪、态度、状态，与全文感情基调一致。逻辑词（连词、代词等，约15%）：体现句间因果、转折、递进，是"送分空"高发区。2.上下文复现法：答案往往在前文或后文以"原词、同义词、反义词"形式出现。做题时养成"前后扫读"习惯。3.固定搭配法：熟记高频搭配，如workas（担任）、makeadifference（有影响）、payfor（赔偿/为……付钱）、knockat（敲）、beafraidof（害怕）、share…with…（与……分享）。4.词汇辨析入门（三角度）：从"①词义②搭配③感情色彩"三个角度区分近义词，不靠死记，靠语境。方法（入门三步法）方法一·通读定调：不填空，先读首句和全文，确定主题和感情基调（积极/消极/叙事转折）。方法二·瞻前顾后：每个空看"左三词、右三词"及本句主谓宾，优先用复现和搭配定答案。方法三·复读验证：全部填完后通读一遍，检查是否通顺、时态与单复数是否一致。例题1题目Lastsummer,I_1_asavolunteeratalocalcommunitycenter.Atfirst,Ithoughttheworkwouldbe_2_andmeaningless.However,my_3_changedcompletelyafterImetMrs.Lee,anelderlywomanwhocametothecentereveryday.Mrs.Leehadlostherhusbandandlived_4_.Sheoftensataloneinthecorner,_5_outofthewindow.Idecidedto_6_hercompany.Wetalkedaboutherlife,andI_7_thatshehadbeenateacherforfortyyears.Oneafternoon,itbeganto_8_heavily.Mrs.Leelookedworriedbecauseshehadnoumbrella.I_9_minewithherandwalkedherhome.Shesmiledandsaid,"Youaresucha_10_boy."Fromthatdayon,I_11_tovisitherregularly.Thesimpleactof_12_broughtmemorehappinessthanIhadexpected.Irealizedthatsmall_13_couldmakeabig_14_insomeone'slife.Now,wheneverIfeel_15_,IthinkofMrs.Leeandchoosetohelpothers.选项1.A.workedB.studiedC.playedD.traveled2.A.interestingB.boringC.excitingD.dangerous3.A.planB.attitudeC.habitD.grade4.A.aloneB.abroadC.nearbyD.together5.A.lookingB.comingC.runningD.breaking6.A.refuseB.avoidC.keepD.offer7.A.learnedB.taughtC.forgotD.promised8.A.snowB.rainC.shineD.blow9.A.sharedB.comparedC.filledD.covered10.A.kindB.lazyC.smartD.shy11.A.failedB.continuedC.fearedD.refused12.A.givingB.takingC.sellingD.hiding13.A.mistakesB.wordsC.deedsD.gifts14.A.differenceB.decisionC.mistakeD.promise15.A.proudB.lonelyC.angryD.safe解析通读全文：本文为记叙文，讲"我"在社区中心做志愿者，遇见独居老人李奶奶，通过陪伴与分享感悟到"小小的善举能带来很大影响"。基调由"最初觉得无聊"转为"积极、温暖"。逐空上下文：1.worked：固定搭配workasavolunteer（担任志愿者）；后文讲具体工作内容，studied/played/traveled不合语义。2.boring：后接andmeaningless（无意义的），并列同义，选boring；interesting/exciting为反义干扰。3.attitude：遇见老人后"态度"完全改变；plan/habit/grade不与changedcompletely搭配表心理变化。4.alone：前文lostherhusband（丧夫），故"独自生活"，alone。5.looking：lookoutofthewindow（向窗外眺望）为固定表达。6.offer：offersb.company意为"主动陪伴"；refuse/avoid与决定陪伴矛盾，keep不搭配。7.learned：learnthat从句，意为"了解到/得知"她曾是老师。8.rain：后文noumbrella（没带伞），故下"雨"，rain。9.shared：sharesth.withsb.（与某人共用某物），把伞分给老人。10.kind：她夸"你真是个善良的男孩"，kind与助人行为一致。11.continued："继续"定期看望她；failed/feared/refused均为反义。12.giving：theactofgiving（给予的行为）带来快乐，呼应全文"助人"主题。13.deeds：smalldeeds（小小的善举）与后文makeabigdifference形成"小—大"呼应。14.difference：固定搭配makeadifference（产生影响）。15.lonely："每当感到孤独时"，与独处、助人主题呼应；proud/angry/safe不合。验证：通读一遍，故事连贯：做志愿者→遇独居老人→陪伴送伞→感悟"小善举大不同"，无逻辑矛盾，时态一致（一般过去时）。易错提醒第2空易误选interesting（被andmeaningless前的负面预期误导，应选同义boring）。第13空deeds与gifts易混，注意后文强调"行为的影响"而非"物质礼物"。第14空务必记牢makeadifference这个高频固定搭配。答案1—5ABBAA6—10DABAA11—15BACAB例题2题目WhenIwasinjuniorhigh,Iwasafraidofspeakinginpublic.Everytimetheteacheraskedaquestion,Iwould_1_myheadandhopenottobenoticed.Oneday,ourclasswasaskedtogiveashort_2_aboutourdreams.Myheart_3_fastasmynamewascalled.Iwalkedtothefront,_4_withmyhandsshaking."D-don'tbenervous,"Itold_5_.Butmyvoicewasso_6_thatfewstudentscouldhearme.Imadeseveral_7_andfinallyfinishedinembarrassment.Afterclass,myteacher,Mr.Wang,cametome."Publicspeakingisa_8_,"hesaid."Themoreyou_9_,thebetteryoubecome."He_10_metojointheschooldebateclub.Ifollowedhis_11_.Atfirst,Istillfelt_12_,butslowlyIimproved.Halfayearlater,I_13_firstprizeinaspeechcontest.Thisexperiencetaughtmethat_14_canbeconquered.Neverletfear_15_youfromtrying.选项1.A.raiseB.lowerC.shakeD.nod2.A.speechB.songC.testD.gift3.A.beatB.hitC.droppedD.rose4.A.smilingB.cryingC.standingD.sleeping5.A.himselfB.herselfC.myselfD.yourself6.A.loudB.lowC.clearD.sweet7.A.friendsB.mistakesC.plansD.jokes8.A.skillB.problemC.gameD.burden9.A.restB.practiceC.eatD.think10.A.orderedB.encouragedC.forcedD.warned11.A.adviceB.dreamC.ruleD.example12.A.confidentB.nervousC.boredD.happy13.A.lostB.wonC.missedD.refused14.A.prideB.fearC.angerD.joy15.A.protectB.stopC.saveD.help解析1.lower：害怕被点名，自然"低下头"，lowerone'shead；raise反义。2.speech：后文publicspeaking、speechcontest复现，讲"关于梦想的演讲"。3.beat：Myheartbeatfast（心跳加速）为习惯表达；hit/dropped不搭配。4.standing：走到前面"站着"，withmyhandsshaking补充状态。5.myself：Itoldmyself（我对自己说），反身代词与主语I一致。6.low：声音"低"以致听不清；loud/clear与fewcouldhear矛盾。7.mistakes：makemistakes（犯错），因紧张出错。8.skill：老师鼓励说"公开演讲是一项技能"，problem/game/burden消极，不符鼓励语境。9.practice：Themoreyoupractice…（练习越多越好），practice与improve逻辑一致。10.encouraged：encouragesb.todo（鼓励某人做），与老师鼓励基调一致；ordered/forced生硬。11.advice：followone'sadvice（听从某人的建议）。12.nervous：起初仍"紧张"，与后文slowlyimproved形成转折。13.won：wonfirstprize（得一等奖），与进步呼应；lost/missed反义。14.fear：全文讲克服"恐惧"，fearcanbeconquered。15.stop：stopsb.fromdoing（阻止某人做），"别让恐惧阻止你尝试"。易错提醒第3空beat作"心跳"为不及物/及物特殊用法，注意与heart搭配；不要因rose（rise过去式）而误选"心升高"。第15空stop…from是重点结构，protect…from也常见，但此处语义为"阻止"而非"保护"。答案1—5BAACC6—10BBABB11—15ABBBB二、基础档（多数学生）知识点：情感态度线索、文化背景、句间逻辑、高频词辨析（配模板）1.情感态度线索：记叙文情感有起伏，先标出全文感情基调，再顺着"喜—忧—悟"的曲线判断形容词/副词。人物情绪词（nervous,relieved,proud,lonely…）是高频考点。2.文化背景：涉及节日、习俗、称谓时调动常识。如：dumpling（饺子）—春节团圆；togetherness（团聚）—中式家文化；exchangestudent（交换生）—跨文化体验。3.句间逻辑：but/however（转折）、so/therefore（因果）、although/yet（让步）、and（递进并列）是"路标词"，前后语义相反或相承。4.高频词辨析：重点区分常考近义群——differ/vary（不同）；matter/count（重要）；gain/obtain（获得）；universal/common（普遍的）；crucial/vital（关键的）。模板模板一·情感曲线法：先画"起点情绪→冲突→转折→感悟"曲线，形容词/副词空沿曲线走，避免"全盘积极或消极"。模板二·逻辑连接词法：遇到空前后有but/so/although，先判定"反义还是同义"，再定词。模板三·文化背景法：见到节日、食物、称谓，优先用文化常识排除违背常识的选项。例题1题目WhenSarahfirstarrivedinChinaasanexchangestudent,shefoundthe_1_completelydifferentfromherhometown.Thebusystreets,theunfamiliarfood,andthe_2_languagemadeherfeellikeanoutsider.Oneevening,herhostfamilyinvitedhertomake_3_togetherfortheSpringFestival.Atfirst,Sarahwas_4_—shehadnevercookedChinesefoodbefore.Butthegrandmother,GrandmaLin,smiledwarmlyand_5_herhandspatiently."InChina,eatingtogethermeans_6_,"GrandmaLinexplained.Sarahbegantounderstandthatfoodwasmorethan_7_;itwasawaytoshowlove.Asthey_8_thedumplings,Sarahlistenedtostoriesaboutthefamily'straditions.Shefeltasenseof_9_shehadnotexpected.Bytheendoftheevening,her_10_aboutthenewculturehaddisappeared.ThisexperiencetaughtSarahthatalthoughcultures_11_,thewarmthofhumanconnectionis_12_.Shelaterwroteinherdiary:"Icametolearn,butI_13_somuchmorethanalanguage.Ilearnedhowto_14_anewfamily."Lookingback,Sarahrealizedthatthe_15_shefeltonherfirstdaywasthebeginningofthebestyearofherlife.选项1.A.weatherB.cultureC.schoolD.people2.A.foreignB.nativeC.deadD.secret3.A.dumplingsB.cakesC.breadsD.noodles4.A.excitedB.nervousC.angryD.tired5.A.washedB.heldC.guidedD.cleaned6.A.survivalB.competitionC.togethernessD.success7.A.nutritionB.moneyC.tasteD.time8.A.ateB.boughtC.wrappedD.sold9.A.belongingB.dutyC.lossD.shame10.A.confidenceB.worriesC.knowledgeD.interest11.A.differB.improveC.remainD.fall12.A.strangeB.universalC.difficultD.useless13.A.forgotB.lostC.gainedD.doubted14.A.leaveB.buildC.avoidD.blame15.A.joyB.fearC.prideD.calm解析1.culture：后文讲食物、语言、节日，统称"文化"，且与末句newculture复现。2.foreign：unfamiliarfood并列，"陌生的语言"即foreignlanguage。3.dumplings：文化背景——春节包饺子，且后文thedumplings原词复现。4.nervous：nevercookedbefore说明"紧张"，与But…smiledwarmly的安慰形成对照。5.guided：guideone'shands（手把手指导），体现耐心；washed/cleaned不合"教做饭"。6.togetherness：eatingtogether意味着"团聚/在一起"，符合中式家文化。7.nutrition：morethannutrition（不只是营养），强调食物承载爱。8.wrapped：wrapdumplings（包饺子）为固定搭配，文化词。9.belonging：senseofbelonging（归属感），与feltlikeanoutsider反义呼应。10.worries：前文紧张、像外人，此时"担忧"消失。11.differ：althoughculturesdiffer（尽管文化不同），与后文universal形成让步。12.universal：人情温暖是"普遍的"，与differ对照。13.gained：gainedsomuchmore（收获更多），与cametolearn递进。14.build：buildanewfamily（融入/建立新的家庭关系）。15.fear：首段feellikeanoutsider对应最初的"恐惧/不安"。易错提醒第3、6、8空为文化背景题，饺子—团圆—包饺子是固定文化链，不要被noodles/cakes干扰。第11—12空是"让步+对照"逻辑，differ与universal一反一正，注意although路标。答案1—5BAABC6—10CACAB11—15ABCBB例题2题目WhenTom_1_thebrokenwindow,heknewhewasintrouble.Hehadbeenplayingbaseballinthe_2_whentheballflewthroughMrs.Green'swindow.Tom'sfirst_3_wastorunaway.Butsomethinginsidehimsaidthatwaswrong.He_4_atthedoor,hisheartpounding.Mrs.Greenopenedit.Seeingthe_5_onhisface,shesighedbutdidnot_6_."I'mreallysorry,"Tomsaid."I'll_7_forthedamage."Tohissurprise,Mrs.Greensmiled."Mistakeshappen,dear.What_8_isthatyoucametotellthetruth."Sheeven_9_himtohelphercleanup.Astheyworked,TomlearnedthatMrs.Greenlivedaloneandseldomhad_10_.Bythetimeheleft,Tomfelt_11_thanguilty—hefeltrelieved.Hehaddonethe_12_thing.Yearslater,Tomstillrememberedthatday.Ittaughthimthathonestybrings_13_,whilehidingthetruthonlybrings_14_.Facingourmistakesisthereal_15_ofgrowingup.选项1.A.sawB.heardC.fixedD.ignored2.A.streetB.classroomC.kitchenD.garden3.A.ideaB.questionC.answerD.order4.A.knockedB.laughedC.pointedD.waved5.A.smileB.fearC.angerD.surprise6.A.cryB.shoutC.leaveD.agree7.A.payB.askC.careD.wait8.A.mattersB.hurtsC.changesD.fails9.A.invitedB.forcedC.taughtD.warned10.A.visitorsB.moneyC.foodD.help11.A.worseB.betterC.angrierD.prouder12.A.easyB.rightC.funnyD.strange13.A.peaceB.troubleC.wealthD.fame14.A.luckB.freedomC.worryD.success15.A.signB.costC.resultD.secret解析1.saw：看见破窗，意识到惹祸；heard也可，但后文"thebrokenwindow"强调所见。2.street：在"街上"打棒球，球飞进窗户，符合生活常识。3.idea：firstideawastorunaway（第一反应是逃跑）。4.knocked：knockatthedoor（敲门），heartpounding体现紧张。5.fear：脸上有"恐惧/害怕"，因做错事。6.shout：shesighedbutdidnotshout（叹气但没责骂大叫），体现宽容。7.pay：payforthedamage（赔偿损坏），responsibility体现。8.matters：Whatmattersisthat…（重要的是……），固定句式。9.invited：invitesb.tohelp（邀请帮忙），态度温和。10.visitors：livedalone,seldomhadvisitors（独居，少有访客），与后文陪伴呼应。11.better：feltbetterthanguilty（与其内疚不如释然），relieved提示。12.right：donetherightthing（做了正确的事）。13.peace：诚实带来"平静"，与hiding带来的worry对照。14.worry：隐瞒真相只带来"担忧"。15.sign：therealsignofgrowingup（成长的真正标志）。易错提醒第8空Whatmatters是高频句式，matter作动词"重要"，勿与hurt/change混淆。第13—14空为"对照逻辑"：honesty↔peace，hiding↔worry，沿情感曲线走。答案1—5AAABB6—10BAABB11—15BBACA例题3题目Whenthebasketballcoachannouncedthelistforthefinalmatch,Jason'snamewas_1_.Hehadtrainedhardformonths,yethewasleft_2_.Disappointedbutnot_3_,Jasondecidedtosupporthisteammatesfromthebench.Duringthegame,thestarplayergot_4_andhadtoleave.ThecoachturnedtoJason:"You're_5_!"Jasonranontothecourt,hishands_6_withnervoussweat.Thescorewastied,andonlytenseconds_7_.Hecaughttheball,dodgedadefender,and_8_towardthebasket.Atthatmoment,herememberedhiscoach'swords:"Trustyour_9_."Jasonjumpedandshot.Theballflewinaperfect_10_andwentthroughthenet.Theywon!Afterthegame,Jasonunderstoodthatbeinga_11_membermeansmorethanplaying—itmeansbeing_12_whenyourteamneedsyou.His_13_hadnotbeenwasted;ithadpreparedhimforthatsingle,_14_moment.Helearnedthattruesuccessisnotalwaysaboutbeinginthe_15_,butaboutbeingreadywhencalledupon.选项1.A.calledB.missingC.writtenD.found2.A.behindB.outC.aloneD.off3.A.defeatedB.surprisedC.interestedD.moved4.A.tiredB.injuredC.lostD.angry5.A.lateB.nextC.wrongD.ready6.A.wetB.coldC.fullD.clean7.A.passedB.remainedC.startedD.lost8.A.lookedB.movedC.rushedD.walked9.A.teamB.instinctC.luckD.coach10.A.lineB.circleC.arcD.square11.A.teamB.schoolC.familyD.group12.A.presentB.silentC.calmD.famous13.A.effortB.moneyC.timeD.youth14.A.quietB.crucialC.earlyD.easy15.A.leadB.gameC.spotlightD.class解析1.missing：yet表转折，名字"没出现"在名单上，故落选。2.out：leftout（被排除/落选），与missing同义复现。3.defeated：Disappointedbutnotdefeated（失望但未被打倒），积极转折。4.injured：gotinjured（受伤）不得不离场，需替补。5.ready：教练喊"You'reready!"（你上/你准备好了！）派他上场。6.wet：handswetwithsweat（手被汗浸湿）。7.remained：onlytensecondsremained（只剩十秒）。8.rushed：rushedtowardthebasket（冲向篮筐），紧急得分。9.instinct：Trustyourinstinct（相信直觉），教练鼓励语。10.arc：投篮的"弧线"arc，形象描写。11.team：teammember（团队成员），主题词。12.present：beingpresentwhenneeded（被需要时在场），与inthespotlight对照。13.effort：Hisefforthadnotbeenwasted（努力没白费）。14.crucial：single,crucialmoment（关键一刻）。15.spotlight：inthespotlight（处於聚光灯下/成为焦点），与"被需要时在场"对照，点明主旨。易错提醒第1—2空missing与leftout为同义复现，是入门档"复现法"在基础档的延续。第15空spotlight为比喻义，不要按字面选game；注意全文主旨是"readywhencalledupon"。答案1—5BBABD6—10ABCBC11—15AAABC三、精进档（优秀生）知识点：难词语境、隐晦逻辑、语篇连贯（配模型）1.难词语境义：难词不靠死背，靠"修饰语+搭配+情感走向"反推。如erasememory（抹去记忆）、sacredcare（近乎神圣的用心）、inthespotlight（处於焦点）。2.隐晦逻辑：进阶题常把逻辑藏在"代词指代、隐性因果、对比并列"中，需读出句间未明说的联系。3.语篇连贯（Cohesion）：关注①指代（it/he/this/such）②词汇链（repeat/synonym串起主题）③连接词。答案常与"词汇链"同族。模型模型一·语篇连贯模型：先找出贯穿全文的"词汇链"（如记忆—温暖—陪伴；速度—耐心—匠人），空处词往往属于该链的同族词。模型二·语境猜词模型：遇到生僻词，三步反推——(1)看修饰语/宾语；(2)看搭配；(3)看情感走向（积极/消极），再用"排除法"定唯一合理项。模型三·隐性因果模型：注意thus/so/逗号后结果、以及"行为—感悟"隐含因果，避免只凭局部词义。例题1题目Whenmygrandfatherbeganto_1_namesandfaces,ourfamilyfacedaquietcrisis.Themanwhohadonce_2_ourfamilywithhisstoriesnowsatsilently,occasionally_3_awordhecouldnolongerfind.Atfirst,Irespondedwith_4_—explainingthingstwice,correctinghissmallerrors.ButIsoonrealizedthatmy_5_wasnothelping;itwasonlydeepeninghissenseof_6_.ThenIreadanarticleabout"companioning"ratherthan"fixing."Theidea_7_me:perhapswhatheneededwasnotmy_8_butmypresence.SoIchanged.Insteadofsupplyingthelostword,Iwouldsimply_9_withhiminthesilence,ortellthestorymyself,lettinghim_10_whenhecould.Gradually,astrange_11_emerged.Inhisconfusion,heseemedfreer,more_12_thantheanxiousmanhehadbeen.Thediseasewas_13_hismemory,butitcouldnot_14_hiswarmth.Icametoseethatloveisnotthe_15_ofanother'swholeness,butthechoicetositbesidethemintheirbrokenness.选项1.A.forgetB.rememberC.mentionD.invent2.A.amusedB.entertainedC.confusedD.bored3.A.searchingforB.givingupC.laughingatD.writingdown4.A.patienceB.frustrationC.joyD.pride5.A.silenceB.correctionC.absenceD.kindness6.A.guiltB.peaceC.confidenceD.humor7.A.struckB.boredC.frightenedD.amused8.A.wisdomB.fixingC.adviceD.company9.A.sitB.argueC.laughD.cry10.A.sleepB.leaveC.joinD.watch11.A.patternB.peaceC.problemD.conflict12.A.anxiousB.childlikeC.angryD.distant13.A.erasingB.protectingC.improvingD.saving14.A.stealB.changeC.showD.create15.A.denialB.demandC.repairD.praise解析1.forget：begantoforgetnames（开始遗忘名字），与后文lostword、disease构成"记忆衰退"词汇链。2.entertained：entertainsb.withstories（用故事娱悦/陪伴家人），与nowsatsilently对照。3.searchingfor：searchingforaword（寻找一个想不起的词），典型失语表现。4.frustration：反复解释、纠正，起初是带着"挫败/烦躁"，与后文意识到方式不对呼应。5.correction：mycorrectionwasnothelping（我的"纠正"无益），承接correcting。6.guilt：纠正只会加深他的"内疚/自责"。7.struck：Theideastruckme（这个想法打动/击中了我），固定表达。8.fixing：notmyfixingbutmypresence（不是去"修补"而是陪伴），与companioningratherthanfixing原词对应。9.sit：sitwithhiminthesilence（在沉默中陪他坐着），体现presence。10.join：lettinghimjoinwhenhecould（能接话时让他加入），与tellthestorymyself对照。11.peace：astrangepeaceemerged（生出奇异的平静），情感走向积极。12.childlike：morechildlike（更像个孩子/更纯真），与theanxiousman反义。13.erasing：Thediseasewaserasinghismemory（病痛在抹去记忆），erase精准难词。14.steal：couldnotstealhiswarmth（偷不走他的温暖），拟人化对比。15.repair：loveisnottherepairofwholeness（爱不是去"修复"他人的完整），与brokenness对照，点题。易错提醒第5空correction与第8空fixing易混，注意前者指"我纠正他"的行为，后者是文章关键词companioningvsfixing中的fixing。第7空struck为"打动"，勿因frightened/amused的消极/积极色彩误判；此处是"顿悟"。第13空erase为难点词，靠"记忆被病痛抹去"的词汇链反推。答案1—5ABABB6—10BABAC11—15BBAAC例题2题目Inanagethat_1_speed,myneighborMr.Chenchosetolive_2_.Amastercarpenter,herefusedtousemachinesthatcould_3_ac
