2019年高考英語難點37講--難點28 語篇情景考慮要周全
(28) a. besides b. instead c. otherwise d. however
(29) a. fail b. work c. change d. develop
(30) a. ways b. conditions c. stages d. orders
解析：此段幾個空項都要從語篇考慮。這篇文章的主旨大意是講人們遇到問題，經常不思考而接受別人的意見或思想，一旦失敗，才會自己去分析，應怎樣分析問題、解決問題。
第27題選b。此題為五星級題。上文的信息告訴我們，人們經常不假思索的接受一些人的意見或思想，without為介詞，without thinking譯為“不假思索地”。
第28題選d。此題為四星級題。通過上下句可知，這兩句為轉折關系，且語篇中用逗號隔開，選however。
第29題選a。此題為四星級題。表示上述分析問題的方式“不靈了”，為fail。
第30題選c。此題為四星級題。從下文可知，一般分析問題的方法不靈時，人們開始分六個階段來分析問題，stage為“階段”。
2.people of burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. four students from burlington college of higher education are in the bell tower of the 26 and have ade up their minds to 27 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run 28 through the narrow high…street…i left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
(26) a. college b. village c. town d. church
(27) a. change b. repair c. ring d. shake
(28) a. now and then b. day and night c. up and down d. in day and night
解析：第26、27、28三題都必須從語篇考慮。三道題均為五星級題。第26題答案是d。the bell tower of the church “教堂的鐘塔”，從最后一句得知答案；第27題選c，從上下文得知這些學生是以“鐘聲”天天敲響，日日夜夜兩個星期，制造噪聲作為抗議，從文中的protest得知，所以敲響鐘為ring the bells，讓鐘日日夜夜響兩個星期，為day and night。28題選b。
3.further efforts have been made to find out about yetis. but the only things people have ever found were 3 foot prints. (nmet)
(3) a. clearer b. more c. possible d. rare
解析：選b。此題為五星級題。做此題不能孤立地去分析，而應聯系前一句去理解，由前句的“further”一詞可知，此處應用比較級more。“付出更大的努力去找yetis，但是人們找到的惟一蹤跡只是更多的腳印。”若不聯系上下文，此題極易誤選possible。
