考点40短文填空之自由填空把语法知识测试全部放在语篇中进行，旨在考查考生在语篇中综合运用语言知识的能力。它不但要求考生有扎实的词汇、语法等基础知识和对句型结构的灵活运用能力，而且还要求考生有良好的语感和一定的阅读理解能力。自由填空是中考短文填空中难度最大的，这种题目因题型的开放性和综合性而备受关注。试题特点是一篇短文挖空8—10个单词，且没有任何提示，让考生根据短文内容自由填词，难度较大，主观性较强，有时可能出现多种答案。1.解题步骤：（1）快速浏览，了解大意。对于简单把握的空，可以先填出来；（2）上下求索，填出答案。根据上下文及空格前后的逻辑关系，填出正确的词以及正确的形式；（3）通读全文，检查确认。特别要注意，根据文章意思，有些空是否要加入否定前缀。无提示词的空格一般需要填入冠词、代词、介词、连词（并列连词和从属连词）等虚词。（1）名词前面一般用冠词、代词或介词等。（2）如果需要填入代词，就要考虑到是人称代词的主格、宾格或物主代词的变化、指示代词的用法；（3）并列的两个或多个单词，短语，或句子之间设空，一般填入并列连词and,but,or等；（4）两句之间，如果不是并列句，则很可能是主从句，因此需要填入从属连词（what,which,who,how,when等）。或者是宾语从句，定语从句或者是状语从句的连接词。这种空格需要同学们根据句子结构，分析到底是什么从句，从而选择合适的从属连词。Passage1Mr.Happyalwayswokeupwithasunnysmile.Hewasoneofthemostcheerfulmenintheworld.Hissmilewaseven___1___thanthesun.However,hehadonesecretthatmadehimsad,___2___nobodyknewaboutit.Thenoneday,whilegoingoutforawalk,Mr.HappymetMissBeautiful.Mr.Happysmiledas___3___andMissBeautifulsmiledback.ButthenshestoppedandlookedatMr.Happyangrily.“___4___rudeyouare!”sheshouted.“Youngman,don’tyouknowthatyoushouldraiseyour___5___whenyoumeetalady?”For___6___firsttimeinhislife,Mr.Happylosthissmile.“I’msorry,MissBeautiful.”RepliedMr.Happy,“But___7___myhaton,I’mnotverygood-lookingandthatmakesmesad.”“Really?”askedMissBeautiful.“Well,letmesee.Ipromiseto___8___thesecret.Mr.Happytookoffhishat.Hehadonlythreehairsonhishead!”“Isthatallyou’reworriedabout?”askedMissBeautiful.“Why?___9___lovesyoubecauseofyourbrightsmile,notofthehairsyouhave!”MissBeautifulsmiled.Eversincethatday,Mr.Happyhasn’tstopped____10____.Heisalwaysquicktoraisehishattoeveryonehemeets.Passage2请阅读下面短文，根据文章内容，在空白处填入一个恰当的单词，使短文通顺、连贯。Asanewwaytospreadideasandinformation,shortvideosaregainingpopularityinChina.Someof____11____areaboutfiveminuteslong,whilesomearejustafewseconds.Mostpeoplekilltimebywatchingshortvideosorbysharingtheirdailylives,especiallyfunnythings____12____happentothem.Theynotonlyenjoywatchingthem,butalso____13____interestedinmakingthem.____14____areshortvideossopopular?Foronething,theycanhelppeoplelearnnewthingseasilyandquickly.Foranother,theycanevenhelppeople____15____money.Forexample,lotsoffarmersnowuseshortvideostopromote（宣传）theirproducts.However,everycoinhas____16____sides.Thepopularityofshortvideoscanalsocause____17____.Spendingtoomuchtimewatchingormakingshortvideostakestimeawayfromstudying,workingandotherimportantthings.What’sworse,wemightget____18____informationfromthevideos.Inmyopinion,shortvideoscanhelpushavecloserrelationships____19____therestoftheworld.Butwehavetothinkcarefullyabouthowmuchtimeweshouldspend____20____them.Wealsoneedtobecarefulabouttheinformationwegetfromthem.Passage3阅读短文，根据语篇要求填空，使短文通顺、意思完整，每空限填一词。Sugarisregardedtodayassomethingtoavoidinone’sdailymeal.Notonlydoesea...
