新课标高考英语语法填空题设空设空大致有如下特点：

　　无提示词一般考查：冠词、介词、连词、代词、助动词、固定搭配等

　　有提示词一般考查：谓语动词、非谓语动词、形容词、副词、名词等。

　　(一)、给出动词基本形态，填写词性词形转化(转为名词、形容词)，或填写谓语部分，或是填写非谓语动词;

　　(二)、给出词语，词性的变化，如名词、动词、形容词、副词之间的转化，名词的复数形式，给出形容词，需要填写比较级、最高级，或词性词形转化，转化为副词，或是填写反义词(前缀);

　　(三)、给出副词，填写比较级、最高级，或是填写反义词;

　　(四)、不给词语填写限定词的时候，很可能是填冠词、人称代词主格宾格形式，物主代词、反身代词的单复数形式。形容词性物主代词或some、any、other、another等限定词;有的名词前有限定词，比如：序数词，形容词的最高级等，其前用定冠词。

　　例：【2015课标II】The adobe dwellings built by the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest are admired by even ______ most modern of architects and engineers.

　　答案与分析：the。这里名词由形容词的最高级修饰，因此用定冠词。

　　例：【2015广东】He owned ______ farm, which looked almost abandoned.

　　答案与分析：a。名词farm前应该有冠词，因为在文章中第一次出现，所以用不定冠词。

　　例：【2010广东】After the student left, the teacher let ______ student taste the water.

　　答案与分析：another。上文谈到一个学生让老师品尝他从沙漠里带了来的泉水，当那个学生离开后，老师让另一个学生品尝这泉水的味道。根据语境这里填写限定词another。

　　例：【2014广东】Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said ______ was a wonderful holiday destination.

　　答案与分析：it。第二个句子中的宾语从句缺主语，这里it代替前文提到过的Miami。

　　例：【2015课标I】For those who fly to Guilin, it’s only an hour away ______ car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.

　　答案与分析：by

　　例：【2014课标II】There were many people waiting at the bus stop, ______ some of them looked very anxious and disappointed.

　　答案与分析：and。“There were many people waiting at the bus stop”是个完整的句子，“some of them looked very anxious and disappointed.”也是个完整的句子，两句之间是并列关系。

　　例：【2012广东】______he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong.

　　答案与分析：Although/Though。这里有两个句子，“______ he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back”和“he was wrong.”，且两个句子之间没有分号或句号，根据句意可知，第一个句子是让步状语从句。

　　例：【2015课标II】As natural architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly ______ thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.

　　答案与分析：how。因为“...the Pueblo Indians figured out”和“...the adobe walls needed to be...”是两套主谓关系，即两个句子，它们之间没有句号或分号，空格处必定是填连词;根据句意，确定填写连词how。

　　例：【2014广东】I didn’t understand ______ this would happen and my credit card had already been charged for the reservation.

　　答案与分析：why

　　例：【2015课标I】I’d skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River ______ are pictured by artists in so many Chinese paintings.

　　答案与分析：that/which

　　例：【2013广东】His son looked surprised, “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, _____not save a bit of money?”
