一、真题回顾
全国课标I卷
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chengdu has dozens of new millionaires, Asia’s biggest buil ding, and fancy new hotels. But for tourists like me, pandas are its top 61. attraction (attract).
So it was a great honour to be invited backstage at the not-for-profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research, I 62. was allowed(allow) to get up close to these cute animals at the 600-acre centre. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador. The title will be 63. officially (official) given to me at a ceremony in London. But my connection with pandas goes
back
64. to my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s, 65. when I was the first Western TV reporter 66. permitted (permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include 67. introducing (introduce) British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research centre in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.
On my recent visit, I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected by 68. its (it) mother. The nursery team switches him every few 69. days(day) with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed, 70. the other is with mum — she never suspects.
全国课标II卷
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify （识别）those of 61. greater (great) and less importance. Then, handle the most important tasks first so you’ll feel a real sense of 62. achievement(achieve).Leaving the less important things until tomorrow 63. is (be) often acceptable.
Most of us are more focused 64. on our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive 65. as possible before lunch. This will give you the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.
Recent 66. studies(study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks 67. regularly (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for 68. a while, exercising, or doing something you enjoy.
I f you find something you love doing outside of the office, you’ll be less likely 69. to bring (bring) your work home. It could be anything, gardening, cooking, music, sports — but whatever it is, 70. make (make ) sure it’s a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.
二、试题分析
1. 直接考查（设题）：比较基础、常用，以实词为主，兼顾虚词，依旧侧重词法、句法的基本运用。
2. 间接考查（文中出现）：会造成一定的阅读难度，主要是低频课标词，派生词，合成词，精准用词，长
难句。
三、总结与反思
附录：
1. 词汇教学案例
备考关键：嚼透词汇的释义、用法和搭配，精细化处理词汇。例如，可以从六个维度学习词汇，即一词多义，熟词生义，英语释义，精准的汉语释义，辨析义、搭配义。同时，建立一些必要的英语基本概念，
如正式或非正式用语概念、学术词（AW）概念，网络化（语义关联、同义词、反义词等）概念等。
2. 语法教学案例
备考关键：学习必要的语法知识，但要在句子、语段、语篇等语境中训练、理解和运用。

2017年高考英语全国卷I--语法填空答案及详解
第二节(共10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学界）61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight. Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food 67(be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet. Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health. 翻译：最近，在食品服务业方面有一种朝着低脂肪和少盐的趋势。这种趋势最初是由医学界发起，用来作为防御心脏病的一种方式，已经产生一些意料之外的副作用，例如，肥胖 和心脏病，这正好是医学界致力去防御的疾病。 脂肪和盐分是每日膳食中的重要部分。我们需要他们去加工处理摄入的食物、有助于伤病的恢复和满足几项人体正常的运作。当脂肪和盐分从食物当中被去除了，食物尝起来 好像有所缺失。结果，人们会吃更多的食物来补偿缺失的东西。甚至更糟糕的是，人们吃 了更多的快餐食品。快餐中脂肪和盐的含量很高；由于吃了更多的快餐，人们会摄入比他 们在饮食中所需要的更多的盐分和脂肪。 通过每日饮食摄入足够的脂肪和盐分会减少在两餐之间吃点心的欲望，而且会提高你的食物的味道。然而，要注意不要摄入过量。跟其他食物一样，我们也有可能会吃太多， 这一点是对我们的健康不利。 61.as 考查介词。根据句意“这一趋势最开始被医学界作为一种治疗心脏病方法”可知这里 表达“作为”之意，所以答案填as。 62.effects 考查名词单复数。有前面的修饰短语some可知这里的side effects应该用复数，所以答案填effects。 63.to process 考查非谓语动词。根据固定短语be required to do sth.“被要求做某事”可知此处答案填to process。

【英语】英语语法填空专题练习(及答案)及解析 一、语法填空 1．阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A hotel chain is employing human bed warmers to help guests get a good night's sleep. ________ (dress) in special all-in-one sleeping suits, the walking electric blankets are sent to warm the beds of guests staying at the Holiday Inn ________ they get under the covers. Dr Chris Idzikowski, ________ (direct) of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said the idea could help people get off to sleep. He ________ (explain) that "There's plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night ________ body temperature starts to drop. The drop occurs partly because the blood vessels (血管) ________ the hands, face and feet open up and release heat." "A warm bed –approximately 20 to 24 degrees Celsuis –is ________ good way to start this process while a cold bed isn't. It helps people sleep well especially as it's taking much ________ (long) for them to warm up when they come in from the snow." Dr Chris Idzikowski and ________ (he) colleague Jane Bednall said the idea was like "having a giant hot water bottle in your bed". The five-minute free bed warming sessions will be tried out in London and Manchester ________ the end of next month. 【答案】 Dressed；before；director；explained；when；of；a；longer；his；at 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款新发明的暖床器以及使用暖床器的好处。 （1）考查非谓语动词。句意：行走的电热毯将会穿着特制的连体睡衣被送去假日酒店在客人上床之前给客人进行暖床。动词dress与这句话的主语the walking electric blankets之间是被动关系，故填Dressed。 （2）考查状语从句。句意：行走的电热毯将会穿着特制的连体睡衣被送去假日酒店在客人上床之前给客人进行暖床。根据句意，客人睡觉之前需要暖床，故填before。 （3）考查名词。句意：爱丁堡睡眠中心的主任Chris Idzikowski博士说，这个办法能帮助人们更好地入睡。空格前是一个人名，两个逗号之间的部分是这个人名的同位语，所以应填一个表示人的名词。故填director。 （4）考查时态。句意：他解释，有充分科学依据显示，入夜人体体温开始下降的时候就是睡眠产生的时候。由上一句中said使用的是一般过去时可知，这句话也应使用一般过去时。故填explained。 （5）考查定语从句。句意：他解释，有充分科学依据显示，入夜人体体温开始下降的时候就是睡眠产生的时候。根据句意，这是一个定语从句，先行词为the beginning of the night，并且先行词在从句中做时间状语，故填关系词when。 （6）考查介词。句意：人体温度之所以会下降，部分原因在于，（这时）人的手部、脸部以及脚部的血管开始扩张，散发了热量。空前前后都是名词，所以空格处应填介词，the blood vessels与the hands之间属于所属关系，故填of。 （7）考查冠词。句意：温暖的床（温度大约在20到24摄氏度之间）有助于人们入睡而冰冷的床则会妨碍人们入睡。空格位于谓语动词后，空格后为一个可数单数名词短语，所以空格处应填不定冠词。“good”是以辅音音素开始的，故填a。

However,be 69 〔care〕 not to go to extremes.Like anything,it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health. 【语法填空答案解析】 61.as 考查介词.根据句意“这一趋势最开始被医学界作为一种治疗心脏病方法”可知这里表达“作为”之意，所以答案填as. 62.effects 考查名词单复数.有前面的修饰短语some可知这里的side effects应该用复数，所以答案填effects. 63.to process 考查非谓语动词.根据固定短语be required to do sth.“被要求做某事”可知此处答案填to process. 64.are removed 考查动词时态和语态.设空处是由When引导的时间状语从句，主语是fat and salt〔复数〕，因此所给词remove要充当谓语，根据上下文可知为一般现在时，而fat and salt与remove存在被动关系，故答案填are removed. 65.a考查冠词.根据固定短语as a result “结果”，可知答案填a. 66.worse 考查形容词的比较级.此处所给词bad前面有even修饰，所以要用比较级,根据bad-worse-worst可知答案填worse. 67.is 考查动词时态.此句主语是Fast food，所以后面的be作谓语，根据上下文语境该用一般现在时，fast food是单数，所以答案填is. 68.eating 考查非谓语动词.By是介词，后接动名词作宾语，所以答案填eating. 69.careful 考查词类转换.此句是一个祈使句，以系动词be开头，系动词后面接形容词作表语，所以care 转换成形容词careful.所以答案填careful. 70.which 考查定语从句.根据句意“跟其他食物一样，吃得太多也是有可能的，但这对健康不利”，设空处应该指代前面整句话，所以只能用which引导非限制性定语从句，所以此处填which. 1 / 1

After reading the book, we got to interview Bryant. He said he didn't think he was going to be an author, but that he often tells stories to his daughters. This is one of the ________ (reason) he wrote his own book. The book is based on parts of Bryant's real-life experience, ________ (especial) when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant had two different jersey numbers - 8 and 24 - during his career. ________ number 24 means you need to work hard 24 hours a day ________ (succeed). Our final thoughts on Bryant - he is cool and very funny. 【答案】be seen；His；about；focusing/focused；has；but；reasons；especially；The；to succeed 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了美国著名的篮球运动员Kobe Bryant以及他写的书。 （1）考查语态。句意：他的才华不仅体现在球场上，也体现在他的作品中。句子主语talent和谓语动词see之间是一种被动关系，是含情态动词的被动语态，故填be seen。（2）考查代词。句意：他的著作《维森纳德系列：训练营》(The Wizenard Series: Training Camp)于今年3月出版。根据上句中的in his writing可知，此处用形容词性物主代词his修饰名词，故填His。 （3）考查介词。句意：这个故事是关于the West Bottom Badgers，一个年轻的篮球队。介词about“关于”，后面是涉及到的内容。故填about。 （4）考查独立主格结构。句意：它由五本书组成，每本书都聚焦于一个角色的故事：雨、小树枝、卡什、佩诺和实验室。此处是with的独立主格结构，with+宾语+宾语补足语（现在分词或过去分词），所给词focus可以作及物动词也可以作不及物动词，所以这里用现在分词focusing或过去分词focused作宾语补足语，故填focusing/focused。 （5）考查时态和主谓一致。句意：没有人相信孩子们会成功，但在新教练加入球队后，情况发生了变化。这里在讲述书中的故事，用的是一般现在时态，且主语是不定代词no one，后面的谓语动词用单数第三人称，故填has。 （6）考查连词。句意：没有人相信孩子们会成功，但在新教练加入球队后，情况发生了变化。结合句意，前后是一种转折关系，故填but。 （7）考查名词。句意：这是他自己写书的原因之一。根据one of后面跟名词复数，所给词reason“理由”是可数名词，故填reasons。 （8）考查副词。句意：这本书是根据科比的真实经历改编的，尤其是他在洛杉矶湖人队
