2007年语法填空:
31.broke.用过去式，因为前面用的是过去进行时，此句中的when意为“这时突然”，类似的又如：I was going to bed when the telephone rang.我正要睡觉，忽然电话响了。
32.who.指人，且用作主语，故用who.
33.as.考查honour…as…结构，其中的as意为“作为”。
34.settled.注意用过去分词，考查“get宾语过去分词”结构，getting me settled into…的意思是“安排我住进……”。
35.a.表示不确指概念，故用不定冠词。
36.where.引导定语从句，用作地点状语；定语从句修饰名词asmall town.
37.other.指其他的村民。
38.merrily.因为是用作状语，修饰动词，故要用副词形式。
39. for.考查 reward sb for sth结构，其意为“因某事报答人”。
40.her.因前面提到是一位old woman，故用her.

2008年语法填空:
31. Behind/In.指在这些谚语的背后，也就是说这些谚语所蕴涵的故事。
32. to help.plucking up a crop to help itgrow的意思是“拔苗助长”，其中的不定式tohelp itgrow为目的状语。
33.his.因前面提到的是ashort-temperedman，故此处用his表示“他的”。
34. it / this /that.用以指代help his rice crop grow up quickly这件事。
35.that.用以引导同位语从句。
36. after / from.用 after可以句意上得到解释，指工作了一整天之后感到很累了；用from可以从搭配上得到解释，因为be tired from为固定搭配，其意为“因为……而劳累”，其中的from表原因，又如：Hewas tired from walking all the way to the station.他因一路走到车站而觉得累。Shewas tired from longstudying.她因长时间学习而感到累了。注意：betried of 与be tiredfrom不同，前者表示“对…感到厌烦或厌倦”，后者表示“因…而疲倦”。
37.but.前后意思转折。
38.higher.根据句意可知。指比庄稼比“被拔”之前“长高”了。
39.natural.用于名词前作定语，故用形容词形式。naturalcourse指自然生长过程。
40.results.因主语为动名词，故谓语要用单数。resultin为固定搭配，意为“导致……结果”。又如：Hisdoing things should result in success.由他做的话，应该会成功。Failure to obey the regulations may result in disqualification.若不遵守规章，就会被取消资格。

2009年语法填空:
31.it。it在宾语从句中用作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。
32. to please。sb is easy to dosth是英语中的固定句型。
33.a。experience表示经历为可数名词，这里指一次愉快的经历。
34.pushed。因与stepped并列，故要用一般过去时。
35.where。where在此引导定语从句，表示地点。
36.choice。由于是用在形容词性物主代词后，所以只能用其名词形式。
37. on。onsale是固定搭配，意为“出售”。
38.him。由于给父亲买礼物，所以应该是使父亲高兴。pleasehim的意思是“使他高兴”。39.at。attable表示“在餐桌边”“在进餐”，是习惯搭配。
40. wasinformed。根据句意，此处应用一般过去时，又因Jane与inform之间为被动关系，故填wasinformed。

  2010年语法填空：
31题：The定冠词。知道冠词很好拿分，可也不至于容易得这么不像话吧。可悲哀的是，我们学校还真会有相当一部分的学生连这1.5分都拿不了的。
32题：who考定语从句关系代词的用法。另，一直在怀疑elder前边是不是漏词了…这是高考题，这是高考题……33题：presented考动词时态。
34题：warmly考词性转换，形容词变副词。35题：with考介词。“开开心心地回家了”
36题：another让另一个学生喝这个水。考不定代词。估计成绩不怎么好的学生不会填这个。
37题：saying考非谓语动词用法。38题：it考代词，指物的那个。
39题：sweeter形容词比较级的用法，“没有什么比这个更甜”，“这是最甜的水”
40题：when。但这个句子怎么看就怎么别扭……

2011年语法填空：
later   later that day那天晚些时候，常见用法，不难。
until  朋友陪我走到公交站台，一直等到公交车到来。
sitting 现在分词做宾补，表示正在进行。
pretended 考察时态。
mentally 修饰形容词，用副词。太基础。
whom 本句为“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句，表示人用whom，表示物用which，介词的选择根据动词搭配，本句为talkto
they  本空稍难，易误填he，是谁“几分钟后走开并坐在我的附近，显得很恼火”？是那个“mentally disabled man”吗？NO!这里应该是“other people”，理由是：“After a while I rose from my seat and walked to the front of the bus. I sat next to the man and introduced myself.”
on   on his own = by himself
an  have a conversation
all /both   all of us我们大家。
              both of us我们两个都

【答案与解析】
【2011年广东省高考英语真题语法填空参考答案】  
【要点导读】本文是一篇记叙文，内容是本文作者记叙了一次在公交车上遇见一位看起来精神有些不太正常的人的故事。当时尽管车上人不多，但没有一位乘客愿意和他搭话，最终为了不使这个人感到不适，“我”主动去和他交谈。
 1. 【答案】later，指那天晚些时候。 【命题立意】考查形容词的级。 
【解题思路】根据句意可知此处时间状语意思是：当天晚些时候，用late的比较级。
 2.【答案】until/till    【命题立意】考查状语从句。 
【解题思路】根据句意可以猜测出其意思是：表示“直到”，用until/till，即“等到车来”。 
3.【答案】sitting/sit    【命题立意】考查非谓语动词。 
【解题思路】做感官动词notice的宾语补足语，与notice的动作同时进行，用v-ing形式；表示客观事实，notice的宾语补足语用不带to的动词不定式。 看见某人在做某事，用notice sb. doing/do sth.。 
4.【答案】was pretending    【命题立意】考查动词时态。 
【解题思路】所填词表示当时正在进行的动作，用过去进行时。注意与后面的giving it a voice并列。
5.【答案】mentally    【命题立意】考查副词。 
【解题思路】修饰形容词作状语，，应用副词。
 6.【答案】whom       【命题立意】考查定语从句。 
【解题思路】由talk to sb.可知，用to whom引导定语从句。先行词是people，关系词在从句中作介词to的宾语，用whom。 
7.【答案】they       【命题立意】考查代词。
【解题思路】做句子主语，指代前文中的people，故用人称代词的主格they。 
8.【答案】on      【命题立意】考查介词。 
【解题思路】此处所填词与one’s own构成搭配，因定词组on one’s own (=alone)，做状语，用on。 
9.【答案】an 【命题立意】考查冠词。
 【解题思路】此处所填词构成短语have a/an …conversation，意思是：和……交谈，用冠词an。 
10.【答案】both 【命题立意】考查不定代词，
【解题思路】作made宾语用代词；又由上文 "We (指I and the mentally disabled man) hadan
amazing conversation"可知，本句中的us指作者和那个弱智者“两人都”很高兴是两个人，故此处用both。

【2012年广东省高考英语真题语法填空参考答案】 
16. wearing 因已有谓语动词appeared，动词wear前又没有并列连词，即wear不是并列谓语，它应是非谓语动词，作状语，表示伴随情况；又因he与wear是主动关系，故用现在分词。 
17. had bought 在主格人称代词he后，显然是作谓语；又因他不可是买下了这个学校，故应用虚拟语气，与过去事实相反，故填had bought。 
18. pleased 在系动词felt后作表语，用形容词，表示“高兴的”。 
19. the 特指最后的那一排，或在序数词前，用定冠词。 
20. If 因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，应填表示条件的If。意为“要是他想坐后排可以逃避老师注意，那他就错了”。 
21. harder 作宾补依然是要用形容词，所以不作词类转换，可考虑比较级；句中a little修饰比较级harder，表示“更难一点”。 
22. which 引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子。 
23. for 表示某个动词或状态延续了多久，用“for 时间段”。 
24. what 引导宾语从句并在从句中作do的宾语，故用连接代词。 
25. them 代替前面的those glasses，作took off的宾语，用人称代词的宾格。

【2013年广东省高考英语真题语法填空参考答案】 
[内容概要]本文通过Nick叫儿子去买盐要给合理价格的故事说明，一定要公平对待他人，尊重努力工作的人的汗水和努力。 
16. found 在主格人称代词he后应为谓语动词，由语境可知用一般过去时。 
17. nor 构成并列连词neither…nor。 
18. why 因why not do sth (何不做某事)？是固定句式。 
19. reasonable 在名词前作定语要用形容词。 
20. who 引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语，先行词是人，故填who。 
21. at 因名词a low price在句中不作主语、动词的宾语，应为介词的宾语；根据习惯搭配，用介词at。  
22. for 固定搭配show respect for表示“尊重”。 
23. possibly 修饰谓语动词作状语，用副词。 
24. a 因a small amount of(少量的)是固定搭配。 
25. thinking 因everyone与think是主动关系，故用现在分词短语作added的伴随状语。

【2014年广东省高考英语真题语法填空参考答案及解析】 
16. it    17.earlier    18.weretold  19. but   20.why/how
21. for  22.surprisingly   23.the     
24.where  25. sunburnt

   [内容概要]本文是讲我和我兄弟去Miami(迈阿密)旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆房间已订满。正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将他们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，这真是个意外的意外。 
 16. it 在said后的宾语从句中缺主语，应填代词；指代前句中的Miami这个地方，应用it。 
 17. earlier 在句中作状语，依然用副词；不变词性，可考虑用比较级；由时态had made，可知是“早在六个月前”就订好了。 
 18. were told 由句意或tell sb. sth.这一句型结构可知，是“我们被告知”，由上下文的时态可知，用一般过去时的被动语态。 
 19. but 这是考虑not…but…结构，意为“不是为那个星期订的，而是为后一个星期所订的”。 
 20. why /how意为“我不知道为什么会发生这样的事/这是怎样发生的”，故用why/how引导宾语从句。 
 21. for 因charge…for…是习惯搭配。 
 22. surprisingly 因本句已有作表语的形容词helpful，所以应当用副词来修饰形容词helpful，指“令人惊讶地，意外的”，故填surprisingly。    
 23. the 特指“在顶楼”。 
 24. where 先行词是地点the beach且在定语从句中作状语，故填where (=on which =and on the beach =and there)。 
 25. sunburnt 在表示“变化”的got后作表语，要用形容词；sunburn是名词。

【内容概要】这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生一家人靠着农场里的奶牛维持生活，但是一次意外奶牛死了，Johnson先生不得不想其他办法继续生活。他一边种药草和蔬菜，一边砍树去集上卖木头。上帝在给他关上了一扇门的时候，又给他打开了一扇门。
【试题解析】 
16. 句意：他拥有一个农场，这个农场看起来都快废弃了。a 是不定冠词，表示泛指一个……，修饰可数名词单数。根据文意可知，Johnson先生和家人住在树林里，他拥有一个农场。故填a。 
17. 句意：幸运的是，他还有一头奶牛，每天都能产奶。luckily副词，幸运的是。根据文意可知，Johnson先生的农场很破旧，都快要废弃了。但是还有奶牛每天都产奶，能让他维持生存，所以这是一件幸运的事。这里用副词形式修饰整个句子。 
18. 句意：他去附近的镇里卖牛奶，或是用牛奶来换其他的食物。本句话中exchange 的意思是交换，根据句意可知，Johnson先生用牛奶来换其他的食物。这里是用短语exchange…for…，故填介词for。 
19. 句意：他去附近的镇里卖牛奶，或是用牛奶来换其他的食物，用剩下的牛奶制作奶酪和黄油。leave离开；剩下，留下。根据文意可知，Johnson先生一家靠农场里的奶牛产奶来生活。除去卖掉的和换其他食物的牛奶，剩下的他就用来制作奶酪和黄油。这里what was left是一个宾语从句，根据句意可知用被动语态。 
20. 句意：一天，奶牛正在吃草，这时突然开始下起大雨。when是并列连词，意思是正在这时。这句话使用的句型是be doing sth. when…，正在做某事这时……。 
21. 句意：在慌忙逃跑的时候，奶牛摔下了山死了。fall摔倒，掉下来，根据文意可知，这篇短文使用的是一般过去时态，故这里填过去式fell。 
22. 句意：牛奶死了，Johnson先生不得不继续生活。with和……一起。根据文意可知，牛奶在慌忙躲雨的时候，不小心摔死了，因此Johnson先生就不得不没有了奶牛来生活。故填without。 
23. 句意：因为这些药草和蔬菜需要花费时间来生长，Johnson先生就开始砍树来卖木头。sell卖，销售。根据文意可知，Johnson先生一边种植药草和蔬菜，一边砍树去卖掉木柴。这里用动词不定式形式在句中做目的状语。 24. 句意：丰收的时候，他已经在人们定期赶集的市场上去卖药草、蔬菜和棉花了。where 在这里引导的是一个定语从句，修饰先行词the market。 
25. 句意：现在看来好像他的农场是非常有潜能的，奶牛的死也似乎给他带来了好运气。It occurred to sb. that…某人突然发现……，这是一个固定的句型，因为这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生，故填him。 

【实践与提高练习】
A proverb says, "Time is money". But in my opinion, time iseven   1    preciousthan money.Why   2    when moneyis spent, we can earn it back. However, when timeis   3    , it willnever return.   4    is known to all that the time we can use is limited. Therefore weshould make   5    use of ourtime to study hard so as to serve our countryin   6   future.    But it is a pity that there are a lot ofpeople   7    do notrealize the value of time.They   8    their precious time smoking, drinking andplaying.    In a word, we should form the good habitof   9    (save)time. Do not put off what can be donetoday   10   tomorrow.

[答案] 1.more    2.Because    3.gone             4.It        5. good /full     
6.the     7.who       8. spend /waste     9. saving    10.till / until
[解析]
1.由than可知,precious要用比较级,多音节形容词的比较级前加more,故此题答案为more。
2.因前句用Why提问,应当用because来回答,故此题答案是because。
3.由表示转折however的可知,是指当时间失去的时候,表示"失去"是gone。
4.填it,形式主语,真正主语是后面由that引导的主语从句。
5.有表示结果的Therefore可知,应充分利用时间,故用形容词full或good来修饰名词。
6.表示"在将来",固定短语inthe future。
7.因thereare是个句子,donot…应是一个定语从句,从句缺主语,先行词是人,应填入who。
8.由timesmoking可想到是spend/waste time (in)doing句型,这是由spend/waste的用法所决定的;这里是一般现在时,主语是复数,填spend/waste。
9.因of是介词,介词后的动词通常用-ing形式,故填saving。
10.结合生活常识,不难理解句意为"不要把今天能做的事情推迟到明天做",答案自然是表示"直到"的until/till。
