中考真题2023年河南省完形填空-雨伞帽的挫折与鼓励
It was a rainy, windy October afternoon. Garth stood outside his house with a wide smile. This was ___1___ weather for testing his new invention—Umbrella Hat. He could hardly wait to see whether it could keep the rain off. He carefully ___2___ the hat on his head and started walking ___3___ along the street. It worked!
Suddenly, three boys in his neighborhood appeared and ___4___ him. Todd, the biggest one, pulled his Umbrella Hat off his head.
“What’s THIS?” he asked.
“It’s an Umbrella Hat. You can wear it on rainy days and…” Garth said.
The boys ___5___, “Will anyone wear that stupid thing?” Todd threw the hat onto the ground and they ran off.
Garth picked up his Umbrella Hat from the ground in tears. “Maybe Todd was ___6___ …in reality, who would ever need his invention?” He lowered his head and thought to himself.
Suddenly he ___7___ and saw a lady looking at him. “I was just leaving my house ___8___ I saw you and those boys. Are you okay?”
Then she saw the ___9___ Umbrella Hat and asked, “Er… what’s that?”
“It’s my Umbrella Hat. I thought of it and made it myself…” answered Garth.
“What a creative ___10___ you have! Don’t ever let stupid boys put you down! Keep inventing and one day you will ___11___ something really great!” said the lady.
“And you have given me a wonderful ___12___,” she continued, “I have a gadget (小器具) shop—Gadgets4U—and I’d like to hold a ___13___ to find the best young gadget inventor in our town. I will display (展示) three best inventions in my shop. I’m sure you will have a(n) ___14___ of winning a prize.”
Garth was very ___15___. Gadgets4U was one of his favorite places and the thought of having his invention displayed in that wonderful place was too exciting for words. He suddenly felt much better and could already feel lots of new ideas coming out, waiting to spring into life!
1.1.
A cold
B perfect
C strange
D changeable
解析：选B。B。根据前文“Garth带着灿烂的笑容站在屋外”及“迫不及待想测试新发明”可知，这种阴雨天气对测试雨伞帽来说是“完美的（perfect）”。其他选项“寒冷的（cold）”“奇怪的（strange）”“多变的（changeable）”均不符合语境。
2.2.
A raised
B placed
C dropped
D repaired
解析：选B。B。此处表示Garth小心地将帽子“戴到（placed）”头上。“raised（举起）”“dropped（掉落）”“repaired（修理）”均与“戴帽子”的动作不符。
3.3.
A heavily
B madly
C thankfully
D purposefully
解析：选D。D。 Garth测试发明的目的明确，因此是“有目的地（purposefully）”沿街行走。“heavily（沉重地）”“madly（疯狂地）”“thankfully（感激地）”均不符合测试场景。
4.4.
A guided
B praised
C stopped
D refused
解析：选C。C。根据后文“Todd扯下他的帽子”可知，三个男孩出现并“拦住（stopped）”了他。“guided（引导）”“praised（表扬）”“refused（拒绝）”与上下文冲突。
5.5.
A replied
B laughed
C wondered
D greeted
解析：选B。B。男孩们嘲笑发明“愚蠢”，因此应选“laughed（大笑）”。“replied（回复）”“wondered（疑惑）”“greeted（问候）”无法体现嘲讽语气。
6.6.
A right
B angry
C polite
D silly
解析：选A。A。Garth因被嘲笑而怀疑自己，认为Todd可能“正确（right）”，即没人需要他的发明。“angry（生气的）”“polite（礼貌的）”“silly（愚蠢的）”不符合他自我怀疑的心理。
7.7.
A came up
B gave up
C looked up
D showed up
解析：选C。C。前文提到Garth“低下头”思考，此处“抬头（looked up）”看到一位女士。“came up（走近）”“gave up（放弃）”“showed up（出现）”均不符合动作逻辑。
8.8.
A when
B until
C if
D after
解析：选A。A。固定搭配“was doing...when...”表示“正在做某事时突然……”，此处指女士刚要出门时看到Garth。其他选项“until（直到）”“if（如果）”“after（在……之后）”均不适用。
9.9.
A ugly
B old
C broken
D tiny
解析：选C。C。帽子被Todd扔到地上，结合Garth流泪的细节，推测帽子可能“损坏了（broken）”。“ugly（丑陋的）”“old（旧的）”“tiny（小的）”未在文中提及。
10.10.
A mind
B habit
C game
D tool
解析：选A。A。女士称赞Garth有创造性的“头脑（mind）”。“habit（习惯）”“game（游戏）”“tool（工具）”均无法与“创造性”搭配。
11.11.
A show
B meet
C plan
D create
解析：选D。D。女士鼓励Garth继续发明，未来会“创造（create）”伟大的东西。“show（展示）”“meet（遇见）”“plan（计划）”与“发明”的主题不符。
12.12.
A skill
B gift
C idea
D job
解析：选C。C。女士认为Garth的发明给了她一个“好主意（idea）”，即举办比赛。“skill（技能）”“gift（礼物）”“job（工作）”不符合语境。
13.13.
A party
B meeting
C conversation
D competition
解析：选D。D。根据“寻找最佳年轻发明家”及“展示优秀发明”可知，女士要举办“比赛（competition）”。“party（派对）”“meeting（会议）”“conversation（对话）”与文意无关。
14.14.
A choice
B chance
C excuse
D experience
解析：选B。B。女士确信Garth有“机会（chance）”获奖。“choice（选择）”“excuse（借口）”“experience（经验）”均不符合“获奖可能性”的语义。
15.15.
A surprised
B bored
C relaxed
D worried
解析：选A。A。Garth最喜欢的商店邀请他参加比赛，这让他感到非常“惊喜（surprised）”。“bored（无聊）”“relaxed（放松）”“worried（担心）”与“兴奋得说不出话”的情绪矛盾。
