刘凯老师解析2020年北京市高考适应性测试@完形填空
仍然是我们常见的两大经典话题“真善美”和“励志类“话题”中的“励志类”话题。
本次完形主要讲述了一个孩子由于某次契机看到了滑雪这项运动,虽然自己国家并没有雪,自己也没有任何设备,但是却依然用自己的方法去尝试这项运动,并打算去参加2022年北京冬奥会的故事。
单看选项难度不大,基本上没有生词,这个故事也比较简单,阅读起来没有什么障碍。但是,有一两个选项会让我们却觉得很大难度,犹豫不决。大家再阅读时要注意,把握好文章感情主线,细细推敲,多注意文章的逻辑关系以及熟词生义。
Afel was only a very small boy when he first saw snow. But it wasn’t real snow that he saw. No, there was no real snow where he lived. He saw the snow in a picture book. The book had lots of pictures of children playing in big white fields. He asked his mother,“What are those white fields?” and his mother laughed and said;“That’s snow!” She tried to explain to him what snow was, but Afel didn’t really understand. Sometimes there was rain where he lived, but not very much, so it was very difficult for him to understand what this cold, ice rain that his mother described was. It didn’t matter. Even when he was only a very small boy, Afel was already in love with snow.
He dreamed about snow all the time, trying to imagine how it really was. He thought of big white fields. He thought of the big, heavy clothes the children playing in the snow wore. He thought about feeling cold. He dreamed of being able to fly across the white fields of snow.
Then, when Afel was twelve years old, the next thing happened. One day he was watching the TV at his uncle’s house. His uncle had a big new TV, with all the satellite channels. Afel was watching one of the satellite channels, and a programme came on, and the programme was full of snow. Lots and lots of it. And not only snow –there were people flying across the snow. They looked like strange animals, like fantastic birds. They had hats which covered all their heads and big goggles over their eyes. They wore brightly-coloured clothes. And on their feet, they had things that looked like strange shoes.“What are those?” he asked his uncle excitedly.
“Skis,” replied his uncle, “And those people are called skiers.” Afel was in love. Here was the snow, and here were people who were flying across the snow. It was just like one of his dreams. It was perfect. At that moment, he decided. He wanted to be a skier.He asked his uncle what the programme was.
“The Winter Olympics,” said his uncle. “It’s like the normal Olympics, but for sports where you need snow –skiing, ice skating, bobsleigh, those sorts of things. They have it every four years.”
Afel found out that the next Winter Olympics was in Vancouver in Canada, in 2010.“Perfect,” he thought. “Enough time for me to become a brilliant skier. Then I’ll go to the Winter Olympics, and win the gold medal for skiing.”
“But there’s no snow here!” people told him. “Where are you going to ski?”Afel didn’t care. He made himself a pair of skis from two pieces of wood. He tied them to his feet and practised skiing holding two sticks in his hands. At first he couldn’t move, but he practised and practised and practised until he could move quite quickly across the sand or the earth where he lived. He tried to fly down the hills like the people on TV, but he couldn’t. He could only move slowly.
“Never mind,” he thought. “It’s a start...”“How will you go to the Olympics?” people asked him. “Our country doesn’t even have a team that goes to the Winter Olympics. Why don’t you do up athletics instead? You don’t need lots of expensive equipment to practice. Our country is very good at athletics. We have lots of runners. And every time we win lots of medals at the Olympics. But no skiing, no.”
Afel didn’t care. He found that Jamaica had sent a bobsleigh team to the Olympics a few years ago.“If Jamaica have a bobsleigh team,” he thought, “then our country can have a skier.”
So every night, out in the middle of the desert, Afel now practises skiing down sand dunes. He dreams that the yellow sand and brown earth of the desert is the white white snow of the mountains he saw on the television. He dreams that the yellow sand and brown earth are as gold as the medal he will bring home with him, when he is the world champion.

原文节选:
Afel was only a very small boy when he first saw snow. But it wasn’t real snow that he saw. No, there was no real snow where he lived. He saw the snow in a picture book. The book had lots of pictures of children playing in big white fields. He asked his mother, ‘What are those white fields?’, and his mother laughed and said, ‘That’s snow!’ She tried to explain to him what snow was, but Afel didn’t really understand. Sometimes there was rain where he lived, but not very much, so it was very difficult for him to understand what this cold, ice rain that his mother described was. It didn’t matter. Even when he was only a very small boy, Afel was already in love with snow.当阿费尔第一次看到雪的时候,他还是一个非常小的男孩。但他看到的不是真正的雪。不,他住的地方没有真正的雪。他在一本图画书里看到了雪。这本书里有许多孩子们在白色的大田野里玩耍的照片。他问他的妈妈,那些白色的田野是什么?他的妈妈笑着说:“那是雪!”她试图向他解释雪是什么,但阿费尔并不真正理解。有时他住的地方会下雨,但不是很多,所以他很难理解他母亲所说的这种冰冷的冰雨是什么。这无关紧要。当阿费尔还是个小男孩的时候,他就已经爱上了雪。
He dreamed about snow all the time, trying to imagine how it really was. He thought of big white fields. He thought of the big, heavy clothes the children playing in the snow wore. He thought about feeling cold. He dreamed of being able to fly across the white fields of snow.他总是梦见雪,努力想象它到底是什么样子。他想到了大片的白色田野。他想起了孩子们在雪地里玩时穿的又大又重的衣服。他想到了感到寒冷。他梦想着能够飞过白雪皑皑的田野。
Then, when Afel was twelve years old, the next thing happened. One day he was watching the TV at his uncle’s house. His uncle had a big, new TV, with all the satellite channels. Afel was watching one of the satellite channels and a programme came on, and the programme was full of snow. Lots and lots of it. And not only snow – there were people flying across the snow. They looked like strange animals, like fantastic birds. They had hats which covered all their heads and big goggles over their eyes. They wore brightly coloured clothes. And on their feet, they had things that looked like strange shoes.然后,当阿费尔12岁时,发生了第二件事。一天,他正在叔叔家看电视。他叔叔有一台新的大电视,里面有所有的卫星频道。阿费尔正在看一个卫星频道,一个节目开始了,节目里全是雪。很多很多。不仅是雪,还有人在雪中飞来飞去。他们看起来像奇怪的动物,像奇异的鸟。他们头上戴着帽子,眼睛上戴着护目镜。他们穿着色彩鲜艳的衣服。在他们的脚上,有一些东西看起来像奇怪的鞋子。
‘What are those?’ he asked his uncle excitedly.“那些是什么?他兴奋地问他叔叔。
‘Skis,’ replied his uncle. ‘And those people are called skiers.’ Afel was in love. Here was the snow, and here were people who were flying across the snow. It was just like one of his dreams. It was perfect. At that moment, he decided. He wanted to be a skier.“滑雪板,”他的叔叔回答。这些人被称为滑雪者。阿费尔恋爱了。这里是雪,这里是飞过雪的人。这就像他的一个梦想。这是完美的。在那一刻,他下定了决心。他想成为一名滑雪者。
He asked his uncle what the programme was.他问他的叔叔这个节目是什么。
‘The Winter Olympics,’ said his uncle. ‘It’s like the normal Olympics, but for sports where you need snow – skiing, ice skating, bobsleigh, those sorts of things. They have it every four years.’“冬奥会,”他的叔叔说。他说,这就像普通的奥运会,但在需要滑雪、滑冰、雪橇等运动的场合。他们每四年举办一次。”
Afel found out that the next Winter Olympics was in Vancouver in Canada, in 2010.阿费尔发现,下一届冬奥会将于2010年在加拿大温哥华举行。
‘Perfect,’ he thought. ‘Enough time for me to become a brilliant skier. Then I’ll go to the Winter Olympics, and win the gold medal for skiing.’“完美的”,他想。“我有足够的时间成为一名出色的滑雪者。然后我将参加冬奥会,赢得滑雪金牌。”
‘But there’s no snow here!’ people told him. ‘Where are you going to ski?’可是这儿没有雪呀!”人们告诉他。“你要去哪里滑雪?
Afel didn’t care. He made himself a pair of skis from two pieces of wood. He tied them to his feet and practised skiing holding two sticks in his hands. At first he couldn’t move, but he practised and practised and practised until he could move quite quickly across the sand or the earth where he lived. He tried to fly down the hills like the people on TV, but he couldn’t. He could only move slowly.阿费尔并不在乎。他用两块木头为自己做了一副滑雪板。他把它们绑在脚上,手里拿着两根棍子练习滑雪。起初,他不能移动,但他练习,练习,再练习,直到他能在他居住的沙漠或土地上移动得相当快。他试图像电视上的人一样飞下山,但他做不到。他只能慢慢地移动。
‘Never mind,’ he thought. ‘It’s a start ...’没关系,”他想。“这是个开始……”
‘How will you go to the Olympics?’ people asked him. ‘Our country doesn’t even have a team that goes to the Winter Olympics. Why don’t you take up athletics instead? You don’t need lots of expensive equipment to practise. Our country is very good at athletics. We have lots of runners. And every time we win lots of medals at the Olympics. But no skiing, no.’你怎么去看奥运会?人问他。我们国家甚至没有参加冬奥会的队伍。你为什么不参加体育运动呢?你不需要很多昂贵的设备来练习。我们国家非常擅长体育运动。我们有很多跑步者。每次我们在奥运会上赢得很多奖牌。但是不能滑雪。
Afel didn’t care. He found that Jamaica had sent a bobsleigh team to the Olympics a few years ago.阿费尔并不在乎。他发现几年前牙买加曾派出一支雪橇队参加奥运会。
‘If Jamaica has a bobsleigh team,’ he thought, ‘then our country can have a skier.’他想,如果牙买加有一个雪橇队,那么我们国家就可以有一个滑雪者。
So every night, out in the middle of the desert, Afel now practises skiing down sand dunes. He dreams that the yellow sand and brown earth of the desert is the white, white snow of the mountains he saw on the television. He dreams that the yellow sand and brown earth are as gold as the medal he will bring home with him, when he is the world champion.所以每天晚上,在沙漠中央,Afel现在练习从沙丘上滑雪。他梦见沙漠里黄色的沙子和棕色的土地是他在电视上看到的白色的雪山。他梦想着当他成为世界冠军时,黄色的沙子和棕色的土地就像他带回家的奖牌一样是金子。
