Section 1: 考点解读

问： 完形填空中的逻辑推理法的核心是什么？

Section 2: 技巧解密

问： 逻辑推理法的解题关键是什么？

A.已知上文线索推断未知下文

解析：

1. 根据上文线索my only purpose was to become the star on our football team可知，“我”要成为所在足球队的球星就意味着要打败米勒·金，所以答案为B。

2. 根据上文线索可知，打败米勒·金之后“我”才能成为足球队的明星，为什么前提条件是这个？因为米勒·金是我们学校最好的球员, 所以答案为D。

3. 根据上文线索all summer long I worked out可知，“我”整个夏天都在训练，work out在此处有“训练，锻炼”的意思。另外，从文章第一段的已知线索my only purpose was to become the star on our football team也可以推断出来，要成为球星肯定需要practice，所以答案为A。

4. 根据上文线索Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm可知，米勒出车祸后失去了右胳膊，“我”看望他应是在他从医院回来之后，所以答案为C。

5. 根据上文线索Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm以及he came back from hospital可知，米勒出了车祸，从医院回来一定是脸色苍白，所以答案为A。

B. 已知下文线索推断未知上文

解析：

第1题的解答需要借助下文线索，从下文线索as they played against teams可知“我”女儿所在的足球队接下来要与另一支球队比赛，所以此处不可能是“赢得了锦标赛”，而是“入围了锦标赛”，所以答案为B。

第2题到第4题都需要利用下文线索her team did not get one serious shot on goal和still defeated来解答。从这两处可知，“我”女儿的球队没有进球的机会，最后的结果是输了，所以第2题应该选A，表示“痛苦的”经历；第3题选D，对方的球队赢了，可知对方应该是更训练有素的球队；第4题选B，“我”作为家长肯定不喜欢看到自己女儿所在的球队输球。

第5题需要综合上文线索playing her best和下文线索still defeated来解答，由best和defeated可知前后为语义转折关系，所以答案为C。

Section 3: 推理综合运用

在解答完形填空题时，根据具体情况，既要运用已知上文线索推断未知下文，也要运用已知下文线索推断未知上文。请看下面的真题示例：

解析：

1. 已知上文推断未知下文：根据上文线索Dad had a green comb可知本题答案为C，是原词重现。

2. 已知下文推断未知上文：根据下文的excitedly, satisfied, happily可知“我”很高兴为父亲做这件事情，所以答案为D。

3. 已知下文推断未知上文：根据下文的excitedly, satisfied, happily可知，这个枯燥的任务给“我”带来了快乐，所以答案为A。

4. 已知上文推断未知下文：根据上文中的help Daddy clean it和the tap可知，清洗梳子要打开水龙头，所以答案为D，turn on意为“打开”。turn out意为“结果是，证明是”，turn over意为“翻转”，turn in意为“交还”。

5. 已知上文推断未知下文：上文介绍“我”高兴地接受了爸爸给的任务，开心地将梳子清洗干净，所以爸爸应该是对“我”微笑，所以答案为B。laugh at意为“嘲笑”，不符合原文语境。

解析：

1. 已知上文推未知下文：根据上文线索the education department was offering a “free” course可知，教育系开办了一门免费的课程，因此去学习这门课程的人可以不用花钱，即他们可以节约一部分钱，所以正确答案为C。

2. 已知上文推未知下文：根据上文线索I’d always wanted to learn chess可知，“我”一直很想学象棋，因此对于能够免费学习象棋，“我”应该感到兴奋，所以正确答案为A。

3. 已知下文推未知上文：根据下文线索He was an international grandmaster可知，此处指的是这门课程的教师，所以正确答案为D。

4. 已知上文推未知下文：根据上文线索He was an international grandmaster可知，他是一位国际象棋大师，也就是象棋下得最好的人之一，所以正确答案为C。

5. 已知上文推未知下文：根据上文线索appealing enough to me和He was an international grandmaster可知，对于这样一位国际级别的大师，“我”应该是迫不及待地想见到他，所以正确答案为B。

解析：

1. 已知上文推未知下文：根据上文线索Raynor Winn and her husband Moth became homeless due to their wrong investment可知，这对夫妇因为投资失败导致无家可归，所以为了支付律师费，他们应该是花光了所有的积蓄，因此正确答案为B。

2. 已知上文推未知下文：根据上文线索To make matters worse可知，莫斯的情况给这对无家可归的夫妇的境况雪上加霜，因此他应该是被诊断患上了一种严重的疾病，所以正确答案为D。

3. 已知下文推未知上文：根据下文线索only pain relief可知，这种疾病治疗只能缓解疼痛，因此上文应该是说这种病没有治愈的方法，所以正确答案为A。

4. 已知下文推未知上文：根据下文线索as they caught sight of an old hikers’ guide可知，他们在看到一本旧的徒步旅行指南后决定进行一次徒步旅行，所以正确答案为B。

Part B：线索定位训练法

Section 1: 线索定位训练

My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack (棚屋) alone . The heat was 3 — almost 125°F even in the shade of a cactus (仙人掌). 4 a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed , were 5 with sand , sand, sand!

I was so sorry for myself that I wr o te to my parents . I told them I was 6 and coming back home . I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer . I 7 be in prison! My father answered my 8 with just two lines—two lines that will always sing in my 9 — two lines that completely changed my life :

Two men looked out from prison bars,

One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.

I read those two lines 10 . I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present 11 ; I would look for the stars.

I made friends with the natives, and their 12 amazed me . They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had 13 to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus. I watched for the desert sunsets, and 14 for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the sands of desert had been an ocean 15 .

What brought about this 16 change in me? The desert hadn’t changed, 17 I had. I had changed my 18 . And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing 19 of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and 20 the stars.

But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of 7 it would be like to live there.

Days later, we made a(n) 8 —far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t 9 us. They renewed their offer 10 . It was also much more than we could afford, but far 11 than the original asking price.

The next day, we got a 12 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the 13 directly. We made our final offer, which 14 was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, 15 we had to try.

解题分析：考查上下文语义逻辑。前一个分句说“这还是远远超出我们的支付能力”，后一个分句用but进行转折，意为“但是比最初的要价……得多”。根据前后语义逻辑可知，此处是说房主现在的要价比原来要低得多，所以正确答案为C。

选项翻译：A.令人放松的　B. 令人失望的　C. 令人愉快的　D. 有规律的

解题分析：根据前后语义逻辑可知，“我们”给出了最终的报价，前文说“我们”一开始就比另一个买家的出价低，那么此处应是说这次出的价钱仍然比另一个买家出价低几千美元，所以正确答案为B。

15.【答案】D

选项翻译：A.如此　B. 或者　C. 为了　D. 但是

16.【答案】D

选项翻译：A.道歉　B. 抱怨　C. 指责　D. 解释

解题分析：考查上下文语义逻辑。前一句提到房主答应把房子卖给“我们”。根据前后语义逻辑可知，房主解释了为什么作者给的价格低却依然愿意卖给作者的原因，冒号后面几个分句都是房主的解释，所以正确答案为D。

17.【答案】C

选项翻译：A.检查　B. 分析　C. 珍惜；感激　D. 忽视

解题分析：根据上文线索he knew how much we loved the place可知，他（房主）知道“我们”很爱这座房子，因此判断“我们”会很珍惜他们对这座房子的付出与投入，所以正确答案为C。

解题分析：根据前后语义逻辑可知，房主愿意以更低的价格把房子卖给作者，那部分差价（少收的钱）就当是房主提前送给作者的结婚礼金，所以正确答案为B。

20.【答案】A

选项翻译：A.友好的；仁慈的　B. 有礼貌的　C. 聪明的　D. 精力充沛的
