2014-2016高考英语语法填空真题集萃

　　例：【2015课标II】As natural architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly ______ thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.

　　答案与分析：how。因为“...the Pueblo Indians figured out”和“...the adobe walls needed to be...”是两套主谓关系，即两个句子，它们之间没有句号或分号，空格处必定是填连词；根据句意，确定填写连词how。

　　例：【2014广东】I didn’t understand ______ this would happen and my credit card had already been charged for the reservation.

　　答案与分析：why。“I didn’t understand”和“this would happen and my credit card had already been charged for the reservation.”是两套主谓关系，即两个句子，它们之间没有句号或分号，空格处必定是填连词；根据句意，确定填写连词why。

　　例：【2015课标I】I’d skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River ______ are pictured by artists in so many Chinese paintings.

　　答案与分析：that/which。这里有两套主谓关系，“I’d skipped nearby Guilin...”和“are pictured...”，两句之间没有句号或分号，空格处必定是填连词或关系词；根据句子结构，第二个句子少主语，先行词是Guilin，根据定语从句中关系词的使用规则，这里填写that/which。

　　例：【2013广东】His son looked surprised, “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, not save a bit of money?”

　　答案与分析：why。上文谈到父亲让儿子去买盐，告诉儿子付钱的时候不可以多付。也不可以少付。儿子不解地问：“如果我能少付钱的话，为什么我不省点钱呢？”

　　例：【2014课标II】Then the driver stood up and asked, “ _______anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop? ”

　　答案与分析：Did。根据本句中last stop可知，句子的时态应该是过去时态，因此一般疑问句的助动词是did。

　　总之，以上讲解了语法填空题的部分微技能，例题都来自于高考真题，具有代表性。无论试题如何变化，万变不离其宗，只要牢固掌握英语的语法和词汇知识，就一定能做好语法填空题中的纯空格填空题。

　　无提示词语练习

　　1.In the beginning, there was only __24__ very small amount of unfairness in the world ...

　　分析：空格处应为冠词a。

　　2．It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960－1279) was very anxious to help ______ rice crop grow up quickly.

　　分析：故填形容词性物主代词his。

　　The new boy looked at the teacher __23__ a few seconds ...

　　分析：a few seconds前是空格，且a few seconds不作主语或表语，也不作动词的宾语。表示某个动词或状态延续了多久，用“for ＋时间段”。故此题应填介词for。

　　3.... who should have the honour of receiving me ______ a guest in their house.

　　分析：因为a guest在句中不作主语、表语或动词的宾语，前面一定是填介词，使其成为该介词的宾语；又由句意可知，他们“把我当作客人”来接待，表示“当作”，用介词as。

　　4.Then he took __25__ off, gave a big smile and said, “That’s cool.”

　　分析：代替前面的those glasses，作took off的宾语，用人称代词的宾格them。

　　5.I can send a message toKenyawhenever I want to, and ______ gets there almost in a second.

　　分析：and连接前后两个句子，and后面的句子缺主语，应填名词或代词；结合前一分句，不难推知，“马上可到达那里”的是the message，替代the message用代词it。

　　6.__20__ he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong.

　　分析：因为he thought ... 与he was wrong是两个句子，且两者之间没有关联词，必定是填关联词；根据两句之间的逻辑关系，应填表示假设的If“如果”。

　　7.Nick’s guests, __20__ had heard their conversation, asked why they ...

　　分析：who引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子。

　　高考英语语法填空有提示词范例：

　　例：

　　【2015课标I】I’d skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River that are pictured by artists in so many Chinese ______ (painting).

　　答案与分析：paintings。该词前面有限定词many，因此用复数形式。

　　例：【2014课标I】While there are amazing stories of instant transformation, for most of us the ______ (change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. 答案与分析：changes。该词后面的动词是复数形式，因此change用复数形式。

　　例：【2015课标I】Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is ______ (clean) than ever.

　　答案与分析：cleaner。根据后面比较级的标志词than，这里应该使用比较级。

　　例：【2015课标II】In addition to their simple beauty, what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their ______ (able) to “air condition” a house without using electric equipment.

　　答案与分析：ability。their后接名词。

　　例：【2015课标II】As ______ (nature) architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly how thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.

　　答案与分析：natural。名词前用形容词修饰。

　　例：【2015课标II】Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that heat ______ (slow) during cool nights, thus warming the house.

　　答案与分析：slowly。这里需要副词修饰动词短语give out。

　　例.【2014课标I】Just be ______ (patience).

　　答案与分析：patient。这里应该是形容词作表语。

　　例：【2015课标II】This cycle ______ (go) day after day: The walls warm up during the day and cool off during the night and are thus always a timely offset(抵消) for the outside temperatures.

　　答案与分析：goes。根据句中的时间状语day after day和后面的句子中使用的时态，可以确定该动词用一般现在时态形式，主语是单数，因此动词用数三人称单数形式。

　　例：【2015课标I】It was raining lightly when I ______ (arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn.

　　答案与分析：arrived。所给动词arrive前是代词I，这里应该是谓语动词，因为主句的时态是过去时态，因此这里用过去时态。
