完形填空題是考查考生在閱讀理解的基礎上對詞匯在具體語境中的綜合運用能力。它要求考生通讀短文,掌握文章的大意,綜合運用所學詞匯知識,借助語法基礎知識,從所給的選項中選出最佳選項,使短文結(jié)構(gòu)完整、意思通順、自然連貫。
今年全國卷I的完形填空題總體上比去年容易,大多數(shù)考生感到做起來比較順手。短文以第一人稱講述了“我”被偵探誤以為是嫌疑人而被盯梢到飯店并遭遇窺視,最后被飯店人員證實自己是無辜的而險些陷入麻煩的故事。所選材料為記敘文,結(jié)構(gòu)嚴謹、層次分明、故事情節(jié)豐富、推理性強,這與學生學過的探案推理文章極為相仿,多數(shù)考生通過第一遍通讀短文后,能夠把握文章的脈絡、理解文章的大意,為下一步的逐空完形做好了鋪墊。

【答案與解析】
36. C 作者正在等著上飯的時候,突然注意到(noticed)坐在靠近窗口的一個人不停地朝他這邊掃視,引起了他的警覺。know意為“知道,了解,認識,認出”;understand意為“懂,了解,聽說,以為”;notice意為“注意到,看到,留心”;recognize意為“認出,認可,承認”。根據(jù)句中關(guān)鍵詞“Suddenly”可知只有noticed符合語境。
37. D 那個人不停地朝作者這邊掃視,好像(as if)他認識作者。since意為“自……以后/以來,因為,既然”;even if意為“即使”;though意為“雖然,盡管”;as if意為“好像,好似”。句中的“kept glancing in my direction”是關(guān)鍵信息。
38. B 那個人在面前展開(open)一張報紙,裝作在看報。flat意為“(使)變平”;open意為“展開, 開始, 展現(xiàn)”;cut意為“切,割,剪”;fixed意為“固定,注視”等。根據(jù)下文“which he was 39 to read”可知報紙是展開的。
39. C 那個人雖然展開了報紙,但是假裝(pretending)在看報。他是在拿報紙作掩護,實際上是在窺視作者。hope意為“希望,盼望,期待”;think意為“認為,以為,預料”;pretend意為“假裝,裝扮”;continue意為“繼續(xù),連續(xù)”。從下文“but I could 40 that he was keeping an eye on me.”可知那個人并非真的在看報。
40. A 作者可以看出(see)那個人一直在窺視他。see意為“發(fā)覺,注意,看見”;find意為“發(fā)現(xiàn),找到,感到”;guess意為“猜測,推測,認為”;learn意為“獲悉,了解,認識到”。該題根據(jù)上文意境容易做出判斷。
41. D 當服務員為我端來食物(food)時,那個人感到困惑。menu意為“菜單”;bill意為“賬單,清單”;paper意為“紙,報紙,文件”;food意為“食物”。從第一段第一句中的“waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive”可知答案。
42. B 那個人對我和服務員之間閑談(chatted with)的那種常見的或聽慣的(familiar)方式感到困惑。direct意為“直接的,直率的”;familiar意為“常見的,聽慣的,熟悉的”;strange意為“陌生的,奇怪的”;funny意為“有趣的,好笑的,滑稽的,古怪的”。服務員和顧客之間簡短的閑談在服務場合是司空見慣的,由此常識可做出判斷。
43. A 參考第42題。chat with意為“與……聊天,與……閑談”;look at意為“看著,考慮”;laugh at意為“嘲笑,漠視”;talk about意為“談論,討論,議論”。因為作者常去那家飯店,對那里的人和環(huán)境都比較熟悉,和服務員之間的閑聊是常有的事。
44. B 時間(time)一分分地過去,那個人好像感到更加困惑。as time went on表示“時間漸漸的過去”。那個人對作者和服務員之間的那種閑聊的方式越來越感到懷疑。
45. C 很明顯(clear),那個飯店的服務員都認識作者。true意為“真實的,真正的,正確的”;hopeful意為“有希望的”;clear意為“明顯的,清楚的,清晰的”;possible意為“可能的”。從第一段首句中的“ ……I was waiting at my favorite table in a restaurant”可知作者是這家飯店的???,因此,這里所有的服務員都認識他是顯而易見的。
46. D 最后那個人站起來走進廚房(kitchen)。從下文“He came into the kitchen…”可知答案。
47. A 那個人從廚房里出來付了賬單后,沒有再朝作者那邊看一眼就離開(left)了飯店。leave意為“離開,動身,剩下”;act意為“行動,扮演”;sit down意為“坐下”;calm down意為“平靜下來,鎮(zhèn)定下來”。從下文可知偵探弄清作者不是他要找的人時,就離開了飯店。
48. A 我向飯店主人詢問那個人想要(wanted)什么。want意為“想要,希望,需要”;try意為“試圖,試,試驗”;order意為“命令,吩咐”;wish意為“希望,想要”。表示“想要……”時,want后可以直接跟賓語,wish后須加介詞for后才能跟賓語。
49. C 偵探原以為作者就是他在尋找(was looking for)的人,于是就跟隨(follow)他來到這家飯店。meet意為“遇見,相遇,和……會面”;catch意為“捕獲,趕上”;follow意為“跟隨,注視,追隨,注視”;discover意為“發(fā)現(xiàn),發(fā)覺”。偵探發(fā)現(xiàn)可疑的人后,往往對其跟蹤或盯梢。
50. D 參考第49題。be to beat意為“打算打(敗)”;be dealing with意為“在處理,在對付”;be to meet意為“打算會見/迎接”;be looking for意為“在尋找,在期待”。
51. B 作者得知自己被誤認為是嫌疑人而被盯梢時,表現(xiàn)出驚愕(surprise)。care意為“注意,照料,憂慮”;surprise意為“驚奇,驚愕,詫異”;worry意為“煩惱,憂慮,苦惱”;regret意為“遺憾,悔恨,抱歉”。句中的“What?”為關(guān)鍵信息詞。
52. A 飯店主人堅持(must)說偵探要找的人和作者看起來很像。must意為“堅持要,一定要”;can意為“可能,能夠”;need意為“必須,必要”;may意為“可能,也許”。偵探在飯店主人有充足的理由證明作者不是他要找的人時,才肯罷休。
53. B 飯店的人告訴偵探他搞錯(mistake)了。make a discovery意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”;make a mistake意為“做錯,犯錯(誤)”;make a decision意為“做出決定”;make a fortune意為“發(fā)財,賺(大)錢”。偵探誤以為作者是嫌疑人而對其進行跟蹤,結(jié)果被飯店人員證明偵探搞錯了。
54. D 作者到店員認識他的飯店用餐感到很幸運(lucky)。pity意為“憾事,憐憫”;natural意為“自然的”;chance意為“機會,運氣”;lucky意為“幸運的,僥幸的”。
55. C 幸虧飯店的人和作者很熟,不然的話(Otherwise),作者也許就陷入了麻煩。thus意為“因而,如此,從而,這樣” ;however意為“可是,仍然”;otherwise意為“否則,不然的話” ;therefore意為“因此,所以”。
