高三英语高考集训营完形填空备考须知一、完形填空考纲解读完形填空是一种测试考生语言水平和实际运用语言能力的综合性题型,是高难度的障碍性阅读试题,它能够比较客观地反映考生的识词能力、阅读理解能力、逻辑能力和分析判断能力,尤其是对于语言知识(languageknowledge)的综合运用能力和建立在此基础上的策略能力(strategiccompetence)。完形填空题分值高(30分,占整个卷面的1/5)、难度大、区分度强,是考生在分数上最容易“拉开距离”的一项。解题过程中,既要求考生熟练运用所掌握的词汇(词义、用法、搭配)及语法知识(knowledgeofvocabularyandsyntax),又要求他们具备较强的阅读能力,具备相应的篇章知识(textualknowledge),能够通过上下文线索通篇考虑,并且结合个人所具备的常识(包括话题及功能等方面的背景知识)以及逻辑推理学等与语言运用相关的经验做出判断和最佳选择。近年来,完形填空题有了新的变化:在题材和体裁上,试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽,突出语篇,强调应用,注重交际,从记叙文向议论文、说明文和缺少故事情节的文章转化;在选题设计上,单纯考查语法知识和词汇知识的试题几乎不复存在,大多数选项在答题时要考虑到设空句以外的其他句、段,甚至全文的内容,考题的四个选项一般都是同一范畴的词或短语,常是近义词(组)或同义词(组),在语法和词语搭配上往往都是无懈可击,单从其所处的句子或短语而言难以取舍,需要结合具体的上下文语言环境找出一个最佳答案。20个小题设空和选项的设计充分体现语言知识运用的特征,考查点大都集中在实词上,尤其是动词、名词、代词、形容词、副词等,这些词的本身具有时间、地点、人物、动作、感情等意义,而虚词,如冠词、连词、介词等则占比例较小。二、完形填空命题思路了解高考完形填空题的设计思路和命题特点对于考生顺利完成试题有着重要的指导意义。现行的《全国统一考试英语科说明》对做完形填空题的要求是“……在所给的选项中选出最佳答案,使补足后的短文意思通顺,前后连贯,结构完整。”这个要求反映了该题型的主要优点在于它能够多层次,全方位地考查学生综合语言知识的水平。因此,这一题型涉及知识面广,综合性强,覆盖面广,它不仅能真实地反映出考生的语言知识水平,而且还能反映出考生的理解能力,逻辑推理能力以及综合运用语言、驾驭语言知识的能力。权威统计的数据表明,在普通高考英语科(NMET考试)中,完形填空题的失分几乎达到60%,成为考生感到最难的题目之一。完形填空题的设计要求从所给的选项中选出最佳答案,能使短文意思通顺,前后连贯,结构完整,答题时需要根据词汇的意义和用法,词语搭配和惯用法,词语辨析,行文逻辑等通篇考虑,掌握大意,精密思考。设计完形填空题时,要尽可能多设一些需联系上下文才能得出答案的问题。如果在句子范围内就能找到答案,就失去了语境的意义而不成其为完形填空了。因此,高考完形填空题一般具有如下设计思路和命题特点:(1)加强在分析语境的过程中对逻辑意义理解能力的考查。纵观近几年的高考完形填空题,不难发现完形填空题对上下文语境理解的考查题几乎占整个题型的一半。据统计,1995年和l996年考查这类能力的测试题分别为11题和9题。这足以说明此类题在完形填空题中所占的比重。(2)对常用习语搭配和惯用法的掌握程度的考查。这些重要的短语也是放在短文中的语境中去考查。(3)对句式结构或句型的语言分析能力的考查,特别是复杂的句式结构的分析理解。\n(4)对在具体语境中词汇的意义与用法的考查。有些小题,仅读懂了全文还不能确定答案,还要准确掌握词汇的意义和熟练掌握词汇的用法。尤其是对词汇的意义,其内涵、外延、褒贬、修辞色彩等都要有所了解和积累,要善于在具体的语境中分辨词汇的具体意义,切忌望文生义。(5)对通篇理解、全方位思考问题的能力的考查。这主要包括两个方面:a.提示在前。有时候根据小题本身不能确定答案,似乎几个选项都可以。其实,正确的答案在上文已有信息提示。b.提示在后。还有一些题目需要根据上下文的暗示才能确定答案。这种暗示有时是直接的,即直接出现正确选项的单词;有时是间接的,考生要根据内容来推断正确的答案。三、完形填空趋势预测从近几年高考完形填空的命题特点看,题材不断变化,曾经考过的题材大致可分为五大类:l.记叙文;2.人物故事;3.夹叙夹议类;4.说明文;5.议论文。在这儿,我们不妨大胆预测一下今后全国及各地高考完形填空的情况:1.题材方面:很可能以记叙为主,中间可能或加进少量的说明和议论,即使是单纯记叙性的文章,大家也应该把握好作者想传达的旨意。考查说明文的可能性也有,但除了上海高考题,其他地区的高考题考查议论文的可能性不大。2.难度方面:各省各地区的高考完形填空,难度仍旧会有一定差别,但最难不会超过2003年和2004年全国高考完形填空的难度。最低难度应和2006年全国高考第一套卷完形填空的难度相当,至少不会低于这个难度。四、完形填空的训练重点第一,掌握词汇的含义及其用法。完形填空要求学生能根据特定的语言环境,对词汇(特别是一些同义词或近义词)的含义及用法进行区分。第二,掌握惯用法及词语搭配。要做好这方面的题目,需要靠平时有良好的学习习惯,在学习中注意对基础知识有效识记,牢固掌握。第三,掌握语法知识。语法包括高中阶段所学的所有语法项目,虽然完形填空题的主要目的不再是考查语法知识,但牢固地掌握语法知识,对于学生对语篇的理解和把握有很大的好处。语法是语言的基本框架结构,切不可忽视。第四,掌握生活中的一些常识问题。比如有重大意义的历史事件的时间、地点、人物等,这些考查的是考生的综合素质。平时注意多积累,答题时才会得心应手。最后,培养纵观全文、前后联系、逻辑推理的能力。所要选择的词语都处在短文所提供的语言背景下,所以联系上下文是解题的关键。完形填空(一)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从1-20各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Iranintoastrangerashepassedby.“I’msosorry!”wasmyreply.Thenhesaid,“Excusemetoo...Iwasn’t1watchingforyou.”Wewereverypolite,thisstrangerandI.Thenwewent__2ourwayaftersayinggoodbye.Butat3,adifferentstoryistold.Howdowetreatourlovedones,youngandold?Laterinthekitchen,asI4ourmeal,mydaughterwalkeduptome,verystill.WhenIturned,I__5_knockedherdown.“Getoutoftheway!”Ishoutedwithafrown(皱眉).Shesteppedawaysilently,withherlittleheart6.Ididn’trealizehowharshly(苛刻地)Ihadspoken.Thatnight,whenIlay7inbed,God’squietvoicespoketomeandsaid,“While8withastranger,youarecalmandpolite,butwiththoseyoulove,youareQUICKtoexcite...Golookaroundonthekitchenfloor,you’llfindsomeflowerstherebythe9.Thosearetheflowersshebroughtforyou.She10themherself—pink,yellow,andyourfavoriteblue.She\nstoodtherequietlynottospoilthesurprise,andyouneversawthe11inhereyes.”Bythistime,Ifeltsadandsmallandnowmyowntearshadbeguntofall.Iquietlywentandkneltbyher12:“Wakeup,mydear,”Isaid,“Arethesetheflowersyoupickedforme?”Shesmiled,“Ifoundthemoutbythetree.I13theminanapkin,justforyou.Iknewyou’dlikethem,especiallythe14.”Isaid,“IamsosorrythatImissedthemtoday...AndI15havefussedatyouthatway.”Andshewhispered,“Mommy,that’sokay...Istillloveyou16.”Ihuggedherandsaid,“Iloveyou,tooandILOVEtheflowers.”Doyouknowthat:ifyoudietomorrow,the17youareworkingforcouldeasilyreplaceyouinamatterofdays.Butthefamilyyouleave18willfeelthelossfortherestoftheirlives.Andcometothinkofit,wepourourselvesmoreintoour19thanintoourfamilies—anunwiseinvestment(投资)indeed.Rememberthat20=(F)ATHER—(A)ND—(M)OTHER—(I)—(L)OVE—(Y)OU.1.A.everB.evenC.justD.right2.A.toB.inC.onD.for3.A.schoolB.workC.homeD.office4.A.cookedB.hadC.ateD.took5.A.alreadyB.hardlyC.rudelyD.nearly6.A.lostB.missedC.beatenD.broken7.A.asleepB.awakeC.afraidD.alive8.A.dealingB.meetingC.goingD.talking9.A.floorB.kitchenC.windowD.door10.A.grewB.boughtC.pickedD.fetched11.A.tearsB.expressionsC.smilesD.joy12.A.deskB.bedC.bodyD.knees13.A.wrappedB.coveredC.putD.help14.A.pinkB.yellowC.blueD.black15.A.needn’tB.shouldn’tC.mustn’tD.can’t16.A.indeedB.besidesC.anythingD.anyway17.A.companyB.countryC.placeD.state18.A.forB.withC.behindD.to19.A.strangerB.lossC.mealD.work20.A.RESPECTB.WARMTHC.FAMILYD.FRIEND参考答案1-5BCCAD6-10DBADC11-15ABACB16-20DACDC完形填空(二)OnahotsummerdayinlastAugust,IsoughtshadeandacooldrinkatawaterfrontcafeonaGreekisland.Overahundreddegreesin1air.Crowded.Tempers(脾气)ofboththetouristsandwaitershad2tomeetthesituation,makingitaratherquarrelsomeenvironment(环境).Atthetablenexttominesatanattractive3couple,waitingfor4.Theyheldhands,wh
