点评 非等距离挖空的命题方式是完形填空的最大特色.短文首句不挖空,以便为考生理解全文留下足够信息,命题者根据考查目的进行挖空,造成信息链中断,这就要求考生依据上下文的文意捕捉到空白处的缺词.从近几年高考完形填空题看,纯语法知识几乎不考,主要考查考生灵活运用所学词汇的能力,尤其是以考查实词或信息词为主,着重考查考生对文章的内在逻辑和整体把握能力.因此,把握句间和段落之间的内在逻辑关系,通过上下文暗示,对篇章、段落或句意的整体把握;再则,干扰项的设置与语法结构无甚关系,重在文意干扰.因此,把握文意和具体语境,通过对词义的辨析,是解完形填空的最好手段.

6.Watercolor is the oldest paints known.It dates back to the early cave men who discovered they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.
Fresco(壁画),one of the greatest of all art forms,is done with watercolor.It is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster(灰泥).Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelo's heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel,very few know that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting by the Flemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go down-hill,and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches(素描) or as a tool for study.It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form.The English have a widely-known love for the outdoors and also small,private pictures.The softness of watercolor had a remarkably strong attraction for them.
The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until in the twentieth century.The United States passed England as the center for watercolor,producing such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
21.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.The gradual weakness of fresco painting.
B.Oils having more power or influence over watercolor.
C.The rediscovery of watercolor in England.
D.The start and development of watercolor.
22.The first watercolor artists wereA.
A.early cave men  
B.Italian fresco artists
C.Flemish masters  
D.English artists of the 18th century
23.According to the passage,watercolor painting was put back in England becauseD.
A.it was easy to use outdoors
B.it was a strong medium
B.it was extremely bright in color
D.it was well suited to popular tastes
24.What would the next paragraph most probably deal with?A
A.the works of famous American watercolor artists.
B.The weakness of oils as popular paints.
C.Techniques of producing watercolor.
D.Modern American oil painters.

AMSTERDAM-A quick-thinking French tourist outsmarted a Dutch thief after the thief tried to seize his bag,Amsterdam police said Wednesday.
After winning a brief tug-of-war over the sports bag,the 27-year-old tourist ran into a nearby police station with the thief in hot pursuit.
The thief"realized too late he had run straight into ‘the long arm of the law',"police spokeswoman Wilma Verheij said of the incident,which took place Tuesday.

Taylor is being treated for symptoms of heart failure,a condition she revealed in November 2004.
"Her medical team is satisfied by her progress to date,and it is hoped and expected that this will continue over the next few days.For now,she will remain under their care in the hospital for continued monitoring,"Morrison said."Friends and fans around the world should be convinced that Elizabeth Taylor is in good hands and receiving the best possible care from her skilled and devoted doctors and nurses."
Morrison described Taylor's condition as stable but offered no other details.

10.Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day.UNESCO( United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music,its significance,and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
      Despite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older,and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
      It's Jason Moran's job to help change that.As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz,Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz,make the music more accessible,and preserve its history and culture.
"Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite,"Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan."What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore.It's actually color,and it's actually digital."
      Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost."The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same,"says Moran.
     Last year,Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party,"just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,"says Moran."For me,it's the recontextualization.In music,where does the emotion(情感) lie?Are we,as humans,gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts?Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,"says Moran,"so I want to continue those dialogues.Those are the things I want to foster."

28.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?D
A.To remember the birth of jazz.
B.To protect cultural diversity.
C.To encourage people to study music.
D.To recognize the value of jazz.
29.What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph 3 refer to?C
A.Jazz becoming more accessible.
B.The production of jazz growing faster.
C.Jazz being less popular with the young.
D.The jazz audience becoming larger.
30.What can we infer about Moran's opinion on jazz?C
A.It will disappear gradually.
B.It remains black and white.
C.It should keep up with the times.
D.It changes every 50 years.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A
A.Exploring the Future of Jazz.
B.The Rise and Fall of Jazz.
C.The Story of a Jazz Musician.
D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.
