泗阳中学高考英语解题指导完形填空

江苏省泗阳中学2013届高考解题指导-完形填空2‎ 巧用首句信息：‎ ‎①利用首句把握文章的体裁：如果文章开头交代事情发生的时间、地点以及人物等，毫无疑问就是记叙文；如果文章开门见山点明话题或作者的观点，那么很可能就是议论文或说明文。‎ ‎②分析首句信息，预测下文内容：一般情况下，根据首句所给的线索，就能粗知短文的大概内容。由首句的提示，加上语法分析、逻辑推理，并借助于短文中关键词语所提供的信息以及上下文之间的关系，就能进一步确切了解短文内容，为确定答案开辟道路。‎ 例1：Monty owns a horse ranch(牧场) in San Sedro. Once when asked about his____, he told the story about a young man, son of a horse trainer.‎ A. life B. success C. family D. job ‎[分析]：(B) 从本文的开头可以断定是记叙文，同时第一句话还透露出Monty有一定的成就。从后文的“a horse trainer”可知他出身贫贱，由此可以断定，人们不是询问他的“生活”，“家庭”或“受教育”情况，而是询问他“成功的秘诀”。‎ 例2：…Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them____.‎ A. tired B. asleep C. alive D. busy ‎[分析]：( D) 文章开头谈到一个人进行太空旅行会感到很孤单，因此通常给单独旅行的宇航员安排很多工作以排遣这种孤独的情绪。由常识可知，人在忙碌的时候不会感到孤单，而其他三项都与第一句话没有关系。‎ 例3：When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article(文章) on the____ side is also interesting…‎ A. each B. other C. another D. either ‎[分析]：( B)作者非常喜欢阅读报纸上的文章，当他想要把那些好的文章剪下来保留时却发现其背面的文章也同样有趣。由文中的“newspapers”及常识可知报纸只有两面，故用other。‎ 完形填空解题要决二 巧用上下文语境。‎ ‎①注意上下文的信息提示：信息提示出现在前文时，可以根据前文的信息提示确定答案；信息提示出现在后文时，我们应该先把此空暂时搁置，在理解了后文的基础上，再确定答案。 ‎ ‎②通读全文，利用复现词语：完形填空试题中，一些词语会重复出现在语篇之中。词汇复现使得语篇中的句子相互衔接，从而构成一个完整的、有机的意义整体。把握这些反复出现的词语，有助于我们确定正确答案。‎ 例1：Reading is a way of learning English without classes or a teacher. It helps develop learners’ independence. And while reading graded readers, learners don’t have to run a____ because the language is at their level.‎ A. dictionary B. teacher C. student D. recorder ‎[分析]：( A ) because在此引导一个原因状语从句，因为读物中使用的语言符合读者的语言水平，读者当然不必求助于词典。‎ 例2：All of a sudden I started to feel rather__1__. She wondered why I was looking for this sort of__2___. I felt even more hopeless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience.‎ ‎( C ) 1. A. encouraged B. dissatisfied C. hopeless D. pleased ‎( B )2. A. place B. job C. advice D. help ‎[分析]：文章讲到作者去应聘工作，既没有经验又信心，心里感到十分不踏实。从下文中的“I felt even more hopeless”可知第1题填“hopeless”，暗示作者那种无望的心情。而“it would be difficult to get a job without experience”则呼应了第2题，故选job。‎ 例3：Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. Clark and his wife worked and____, making plans for their nine children and themselves to travel to 2(America) . It had taken years, but they had 3(finally) saved enough money and had gotten passports and reservations for the whole family on a new liner t the United States.‎ A. spent B. added C. saved D. played ‎[分析]：分析上面一段文字可知Clark夫妇存钱的目的是让一家人出去旅游。根据文中“but they had 3(finally) saved enough money”可知第1题答案为C项。‎ 完形填空的解题要决三 根据文化背景常识：‎ ‎①利用英语国家的文化背景知识，英语国家的文化背景知识包括英语国家的风俗习惯、历史事件、地理位置等。我们做题时若能积极调动自己的文化背景知识，注意中西文化各方面存在的差异，将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程，选出正确的答案。‎ ‎②结合生活常识，避免常识性错误。完形填空文章的内容经常与日常生活相关，因此当我们对语言的把握不准确时，可充分利用社会知识和科普常识来帮助判断。‎ 例1：Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They are very busy working to support the family. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I se on TV. Flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day(情人节) is even more out of the question.‎ A. Taking B. Passing C. Buying D. Sending ‎[分析]：( D ) 利用文化背景知识解答。众所周知，Valentine’s Day为西方国家的情人节，这一天情人之间、夫妻之间一般是要互送鲜花来庆祝的。因此借助这一文化背景知识很快可以选出答案。‎ 例2：Fire stations are strangely exciting places. In the normal course of events the great doors are shut, and behind them, the fire-engines wait peacefully, brightly cleaned and lovingly cared for. But the moment the fire alarm sounds, the huge doors open immediately and the firemen come .‎ A. fleeing B. laughing C. jumping D. rushing ‎[分析]:( D )考查生活常识。每当有火警的时候消防队员都是快速出动，此处用rushing表示方式，修饰come。Fleeing“逃逸”，laughing“笑”，jumping“跳”，均与语境不符。‎ 例3：My parents are quite surprised .They always thought I would become an 30 teacher!‎ A. maths B. English C. chemistry D. Chinese 完形填空的解题要决四 灵活掌握名词、动词在句子中的应用。‎ ‎①结合语境及名词、动词词义辨析选出最佳答案：词义辨析主要集中在实词，即名词、动词、形容词和副词。设题通常以同义词、反义词或易混词的形式出现。这就要求我们在做题时要根据上下文语境确定答案，将意义相反或相差较大的选项剔除掉，选择使句子结构完整、语法正确、语意符合逻辑的最佳答案。‎ ‎②夯实基础，牢记含有名词、动词的短语或固定搭配：对含义清晰的名词、动词短语或固定搭配，可以边读边猜测答案，遇到有能和空白前后构成固定搭配的选项，只要符合文意则可以不考虑其他选项，因此我们平时要注重短语或固定搭配的积累。‎ 例1： “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now”, the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She emptied all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she her way six blocks to the local drugstore.‎ ‎ “And what do you want?” asked the chemist.‎ A. followed B. made C. felt D. found ‎[分析]：查动词词组辨析。语境为小女孩听到父母谈论她的弟弟病得很厉害，家里已没有剩下多少钱，只有奇迹能救他，于是她倒空自己的储钱罐。再结合下文问话“And what do you want? Asked the chemist.”可知她“去了”药店。Followed one’s way “跟着别人走”；made one’s way “朝…走去”；felt one’s way “摸索前进”；found one’s way “发现途径”，结合题意此处应选B。‎ 例2：“Stop that man!” Vernon shouted. “He has a bomb!” Everywhere, passengers were____ their feet and screaming.‎ A. running over B. jumping over C. running to D. jumping to ‎[分析]：考查结合语境选择动词短语的能力。上文提到，有人携带炸弹，听到这种情况人们的反应应为惊跳起来尖叫着。故选答案D。‎ 例3：Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you you, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to____ your life happen.‎ A. leave B. cause C. make D. get ‎[分析]：考查动词短语习惯搭配。make sb do sth “让某人做某事”，其余各项不符合表达习惯，不可用省略to的不定式作宾补。故选答案C.‎ 完形填空的解题要决五 把握文章脉络，识别句式特点。‎ ‎①把握文章脉络，偏重观点、态度，慎边读边做。我们在通通览全文的基础上，要从整体上把握文脉，找出完形填空短文的主题大意，作者的观点、态度，文章展开的线索等信息。 ‎ ‎②学好语法知识，积累句型句式。尽管高考淡化语法，注重情景，但是扎实的语法功底，良好的语感对于完形填空题是大有帮助的。‎ 例1：It was pouring outside. We all stood there____, some patiently, others annoyed because nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the…‎ A. chatting B. waiting C. complaining D. talking ‎[分析]：细读全文可知，语境为外面下着倾盆大雨，我们站在那里在等雨停下来，不是在干其他事情。故选答案B .‎ 例2： “Tonight was supposed to be____---- to celebrate six months. You do remember we’re engaged, don’t you?”‎ A. normal B. sleepless C. special D. sad ‎[分析]：本篇文章谈论一对情侣的经历，该题易误选B，认为会激动得睡不着，但是结合语境可知，要庆祝订婚六个月，所以今晚应具有特殊意义。故选答案C 例3：The story____ to be this: George bought a lottery ticket(彩票) a few days ago and won a prize of $500,000.‎ A. turned up B. turned out C. turned down D. turned off ‎[分析]：考查常见句式。句意：故事证明是这样的：乔治几天前买了彩票获奖50万美元。turn out to be “结果是，证明是”，表示结果出乎意料之外，四个选项中只有turn out可接to be。故选答案B 三板斧:‎ 转折关系: ‎ ‎①标志词：but, yet, however, although, though, while, in spite of, despite, by contrast, on the contrary, 文中一出现“but” “Although” “though” “however,” “while”等词，应该马上想到前后语意有转折。只要知道其中一方的语意，就可以反向推出另一方的意思，从而解题。完形填空题中，but一词后多半会设题。所以，在考试时，只要看到but就做一个标记，遇到类似but这样表转折的词也同样处理。这样便于回到原文去寻找解题的依据。 　　②前后句子的名词同指，但句意对立，往往出现以下情况：a.褒贬对立；b.句式结构对立，前肯后否、前否后肯!转折特点：一句肯定，一句否定；前后句有一组反义词；前句是形副词原级，后句是比较级；前句是一般过去式，后句是一般现在时或前句是过去完成时，后句是一般过去式；后句有一”still”词；前句有“Maybe”, “Perhaps”, “It meight be” “It should/ought to be”等表示“可能”“本应该”的副词或情态动词。‎ 否定 否定词, until just as just like ‎ didn’t Unless/if ...not even though/after ‎ never Without ever since ‎ but however, although ‎◆Human beings, 21 , have a problem that animals never face.‎ ‎21. A. therefore B. but C. besides D. however ‎◆I really didn't care why, 46 it gave me a few minutes of her precious 47 so I was very quiet as she explained. ‎ ‎46.

This time， 33 ，it was not necessary， 34 because Joe was quite familiar with the city，but mainly because Anna had said that she could 35 the afternoon off in order to come and meet him. ‎ ‎34. A. luckily B. really C. partly D. especially 表语原则：如果所考的空是表语，那么主语就是线索。当表语是名词时，它与主语是对等关系；当表语是形容词时，或相当于形容词时，与主语是修饰关系。‎ ‎◆Physical illnesses can develop. It can actually be 28 for your health.‎ ‎28. A. good B. harmful C. helpful D. useful 杀熟原则： ‎ ‎◆标准：是否在历年真题中出现过。be well worth, be fast/sound asleep,be wide awake,can’t possibly, take it easy, be quite able to, by and by=in no time =before long =soon用将来时, up to now =untill now=so far用完成时,I’m sorry,It’s a pity,in your letter,等用一般过去时等。‎ all ,every, any, no except, apart from ‎ other also besides, as well as, in addition to, including nobody, nothing but = other than do nothing but stay there ‎◆When the papers were , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.‎ A. examined B. completed C. marked D. answered ‎◆After all，friends do not judge each other by 27 All the same，it was the first meeting after a long separation，and she wanted everything to 28 right·‎ ‎28.

Grandpa had sent me into the 1 to gather pecans for us to enjoy later. ‎ Pecan picking was really 2 work and my little basket was only half full. I wasn’t about to 3 Grandpa down. Just then something caught my 4 . A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried ‎ to a tree and ‎5 in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel 6 out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place. ‎ Not so 7 anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was 8 with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my 9 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so 10 of myself.
