I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because. I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned （指定）a seat by the teacher. I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested. I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it. When I first started 43 the practice sessions. I didn’t even know the rules of the game much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 . I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves” Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 —friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “53 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself.
54 raising my hand —even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读

点评2010年北京英语高考完形填空（附详细解析） 杨瑶 [标签：完形填空教师点评高考 2010年高考刚刚落幕，杨瑶老师第一时间对北京高考完形进行了详尽地解析，并与过去三年完形考题进行了纵向对比研究，得出如下结论。 一、考点解析 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空词性考点分布图 从词性角度分析，完形填空的重点是实词，其中名词和动词所占比例又相对较高。虚词考察虽少，但大多较为灵活，比如通过与动词的搭配来考察考生对介词词义的理解程度，比如通过连词考察考生对句子衔接的把握。根据分布可以看出，2010年高考命题在词性考察的平衡性上有所调整，争取覆盖所有词性，以体现考生的综合素质。因此词汇量的扩充是攻克完形填空的第一关。 二、命题特点 2010年的完形的选材沿用了往年的风格，为叙述为主，夹叙夹议，涉及细致心理活动描写，往往是一个从消极到积极的转变过程。 附：07年第一人称叙述，08年第一人称叙述，09年第三人称叙述，10年第一人称叙述。 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空综合考察点分布图 1、
为突出完形填空这一题型的“选拔功能”需要，语篇层面的题目逐年递增，2010年的考察尤其突出这点。对于四个选项，如果孤立地看对应挖空的句子，或许都能满足句子的要求，即使个别小题中四个备选答案的词类有不相同者，其语法功能也往往是一样的。考生只有结合上下文语境才能选择出正确答案。 此外，每年的完形填空都会有一两道考察知识迁徙能力的题目，要么选项是考生不熟悉的单词，要么是考生没见过的搭配。比如07年的break the news，是由课本中的“breaki ng news”迁徙而来；比如10年的lively，是由课本中的“live shows”引申出来。另外，由于完形填空综合性较强，因此词组层面和句子层面的试题比例大致应该会固定在50%左右，不可掉以轻心。 从答案分布上看，仍然体现均等原则，今年的完形答案中ABCD选项各五个，这个技巧尤其适用于高分段考试在复查时提高正确率。 三、趋势预测 1、难度提高，干扰项迷惑性加大 2、语篇理解题目增多，逻辑要求提高。 3、单纯考察语法和单词的题目减少,知识拓展迁徙能力考察提高 2010年高考英语完形填空详细解析 I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voi ce and a direct way of speaking. 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
