高考英语完形填空专题点拨与训练
完形填空解题策略:
跳过空格、通读全文、把握大意。先跳过空格,通读试题所给的要完形填空的短文,获得整体印象,高考资源网做到弄清文脉、抓住主旨,较好地把握短文大意。要在阅读理解短文意思的基础上才开始判定选择,切忌仓促下笔。
结合选项、综合考虑、初定答案。在理解全文意思的基础上,再结合所给备选项细读全文,联系上、下文内容,注意从上、下文的语法结构和词语搭配及从选择项中寻找解题的提示,以词、句的意义为先,再从分析句子结构入手,根据短文意思、语法规则、词语固定搭配等进行综合考虑,对备选项逐一进行分析、比较和筛选,排除干扰项、初步选定答案。
瞻前顾后、先易后难、各个击破。动笔时要瞻前顾后、通篇考虑、先易后难。对比较明显直接的、自己最有把握的答案先做,一下子不能确定答案的,先跳过这一空格,继续往下做,最后回过头来再集中精力解决难点。这时可结合已确定答案的选项再读一遍短文,随着对短文理解的深入,可以降低试题的难度,提高选择的正确率。
复读全文、逐空验证、弥补疏漏。完成各道题选择后,把所选的答案代入原文,再把全文通读一篇,逐空认真复查。看所选定的答案是否使短文意思前后连贯、顺理成章,语法结构是否正确,是否符合习惯表达法。如发现错误答案或有疑问的,应再次推敲、反复斟酌、做出修正。
做完形填空选择题时应注意如下几点:
完形填空的短文通常没有标题且文章的首句和尾句,一般不设空,要特别注重对首、尾句的理解,因为它们往往提示或点明文章的主题,对理解全文有较大帮助。
第一遍通读带有空缺单词的短文时可能一时把握不住短文内容,弄不清头绪,这是很正常的。此时要注意克服畏难情绪和急躁心理,应稳定情绪,再将短文读一、二遍,直到明确大意为止。
做题时切勿一看到一个空格就急着选出一个答案,这样往往只见树木不见树林。由于缺乏全局观念,极易导致连续选错。因为完形填空不同于单个句子的选词填空,其空白处是位于一篇文章之中,因此必须纵观全文、通篇考虑。
每篇完形填空所设的空多以实词为主,所提供的四个备选项中只有一个是正确的,其它三项均为干扰项。而干扰项也多半与前、后的句子或词组可以形成某种搭配,即如单从语法角度判断则无法确定,还必须从语篇意义上加以鉴别。
动笔时先易后难,先完成容易、有把握的答案,这样可以增强自信心,然后再集中精力解决难点。对于实在无法确定的,可以从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找提示,大胆地作出猜测。
完形填空解题点拨:题型概说
1、考查目的:完形填空是对考生英语语言综合运用能力的考查,既考查考生对语篇的理解能力,包括篇章阅读理解、获取和分析信息的能力,又在语篇层面上考查学生在一定的语境中准确、恰当、得体运用词汇的能力。具体考查有:
1)词语辨析能力 2)语法结构分析能力 3)语篇理解能力 4)逻辑推理能力
5)文化背景透析能力 6)作者意图剖析能力 7)生活常识综合运用能力
2. 题型特点:体裁和题材:高考完形填空大多选择夹叙夹议的议论文或有一定故事情节和相对完整的故事片断的记叙文。题材大都富有教育意义,能给考生以启迪,类似人生感悟的心灵鸡汤的小短文,语言地道,文笔优美。
3、考点设置:完形填空设题完全不同于单项填空,以篇章语义为主,所设4个选项从语法角度考虑都正确。错误项只能通过语义、语境、常识、逻辑和搭配来排除。因而,高考完形填空设点以实词为主,其中最多是动词(包括非谓语动词、短语动词、情态动词)和名词,其次是形容词和副词,再次是连词和介词。因此在备考中要特别注意这几种词性中常见词的词义比较,同时注意在语篇中得体地运用词汇。
完形填空应试技巧指南
首先,仔细审题,明确大意。首先要以很快的速度浏览全文,掌握文章的主旨,不要急于看选项。浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、事件,即who,when,where,what。完形填空命题的原则一般是第一句话不挖空,目的是使读者进入语境,因此一定要认真阅读这句话。例如:Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next?这句话从铁轨之间的缝隙引出了问题。根据常识,文中内容应与热胀冷缩的物理现象有关。
第二,注意一些搭配和用法。现在的搭配有四个选项,这四个选项现在安排都非常的精巧,跟上下文都非常的搭配,所以要仔细考虑,考虑它的语境和语意。现在的词语辨意也是跟以前不一样,四个都可以插进去。但意思差别非常的微妙,所以需要了解词语辨意。
第三,“瞻前顾后,顾后瞻前”。要根据上下文的逻辑关系确定选项,切忌脚踩西瓜皮滑到哪就是哪。
第四,考生要根据生活常识和相关知识确定选项。
第五,全文复读,融会贯通。在试填好答案之后,我们有必要从头至尾再把对话读一遍,按照对话情境,中心内容,推理判断。凡有把握的,不再改动,如有不顺或举棋不定之处,要重新定夺,确保万无一失。
进行核查同时注意以下三点:
1、上下文的一致性:即时态语态的一致;代词、名词、单复数的一致。
2、从语法和惯用法及习惯搭配、甚至语感入手,看是否符合上下文的逻辑段与段、句与句之间的衔接是否连贯。
3、再次复核至关重要,常能纠正一两处甚至多处错误。同时对极难确定的答案,也要凭语感任猜一个,决不可不选。
具体操作中应注意的问题
1、看清上下文,找准定位词。充分利用文章的上下文和前后句,找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。例如:
Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is veryvery_____.
A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous
根据转折连词but的提示,所填入的词应与shallow相反,因此答案为A。
Mrs O’Neill asked_____questions and she didn’t scold us either.
A. no B. certain C. many D. more
and是一个并列连词;either为副词,用在否定句或否定词后加强语势,由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词,因此答案是A。
2. 理顺逻辑,寻求搭配
注意固定的搭配,包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等,同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。例如:
Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself_____so much money.
A. for B. by C. to D. of
表示“自取,随便拿”这个意义的短语是help oneself to…故答案为C。
3. 扎实基础,搞清辨异
Soon I heard a_____like that of a door burst inand then a climb of feet.
A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
选项中的四个词都表示不同的声音,但B,C,D项的三个词都是指从嗓子里发出的声音,而sound则表示各种各样的声音。因此答案是A。
4. 看清执行者,确定所选词
And video cameras can be used to_____people’s actions at home.
A. keep B. make C. record D. watch
句中动作的发出者是video cameras因此答案是C,意思是“记录”。
5. 寻求上下逻辑,从容确定关系
It has been many years since I was last in London_____I still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as
根据句前的many years和句后的still remember答案应选表示转折的连词but.
6. 了解生活常识,确定相关知识
(Immediately)the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the_____hospital.
A. animal B. biggest C. plant D. nearest
在这样的紧急情况下,人们的第一个反应是到最近的医院就医,因此答案为D
实例考点分析:
根据上下文语境来确定最佳选项。近年来的完形填空试题在选项的设置上越来越淡化语法结构,重在文意的干扰,即把具体的语言知识溶进具体的语言情景中去,考查考生通过上下文的前后提示或暗示,对整体文意进行把握的能力。这种考查方式所占的比例较大,且难度也大,若单纯从句子或个别段落来分析,或许所给的四个答案在语法和结构上都是正确的,若放在全局,则不一定正确。因此,快速浏览全文,领悟文章主旨,通过上下文的语境来选择答案是解决这类题的关键。
例:

(一)
A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn't long to 1 , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.
“Frank!” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t 2 , as I knew, but all the time 3 his foot against mine.
My 4 raced back more than thirty years to the 5 days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The 6 was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.
7 wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got to 8 each other very well. Frank West 9 me because he wasn’t 10 , not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had 11 of a mind than a baby has. His “ 12 ” consisted of rough sounds——sounds of pleasure or anger and 13 more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank 14 on her entirely. He needed all the 15 of a baby.
One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She 16 nearly everything she owned.
When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the 17 ones. So before we 18 that morning, I stood beside Frank and 19 my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that, his 20 to me was always the same.

答案
(一)1—5 CADBB 6—10 DCDCA 11—15 DBBDA 16—20 ABADB
1C 上文的“incurables"表明这位老人是不治之症患者,存活的时间不会太长。
2A 我叫他名字, 他不会回答。
3D 由下文暗示可知,37岁的Frank不如一个婴儿的智力。他不能用语言回答别人的问话,但内心有一定的反应,因此一见到我便将右脚靠着我的右脚以示问候。
4B Frank的这一举动使我的记忆一下子回到了30年前。
5B 下文交待30年前作者的生活,二战期间他只能住在防空洞中,生活很苦,只能用“dark”来形容当年的岁月。
6D 作者回忆30年前的生活,头脑中出现了防空洞的情景。
7C ;
8. D 在战争问题上由于拥有共同的话题,我们这些防空洞居住者逐渐了解了对方。
9C ;
10. A 一个37岁的人智力却不正常,这一现象逐渐吸引了我的注意。
11. D 尽管Frank已经37岁,但智力还不如一个婴儿。
12. B;13. B 他的讲话仅体现了内心的快乐和愤怒,没有更多实在的内容。
14. D;
15. A West夫人不得不强壮而又有能力,因为Frank完全依靠于她,他需要婴儿似的全部照料。
16A 她几乎失去了一切。
17B West夫人遭受这么大的损失,大家尽力帮助这不幸的一家人。
18A
19D
20B 那天早上临走前,我站在Frank身边,将我的右脚靠着Frank 的右脚以便量出他脚的大小,目的是为他买一双鞋子。Frank将我的这一动作看成是问候的表现,从此他就用这一动作来问候我,这就有了本文开头的那种情景。
(二)1-10 D B B A C; A C D B A
再看:
But Ella Fant, who was filed with 1 , shouted at the top of her voice, “Look at 2 ﹗ They’re all out of 3 except my John﹗ Isn’t he the best﹗”
(1)A. sadness B. happiness C. surprise D. regret
(2)A. them B. those C. that D. him
(3)A. sight B. order C. mind D. step
分析:考虑上下文的语境,第一个空的后边既然是“声嘶力竭的喊叫”就不能是A、D项,特别是通过最后一句Isn’t he the best﹗推知母亲此时的感觉是“幸福”的。所以1题的答案选B。2题的答案选A. them是因为其后用了they’re。3题通过全篇语境知道此时描述的游行队伍里一个人的步伐与其他人的不同,答案应与“步伐”有关,所以答案选D. step。
2. 根据生活常识及文化背景知识进行逻辑推理。NMET完形填空往往以自身的内容提供完整的语篇信息,其间交织渗透着各类相关的文化背景知识和生活常识,考查考生灵活运用该方面知识的能力。解决这类题目,考生不仅要有广博的知识、丰富的生活经历,还要能够驾驭全文,不仅理解文章的表层意义,而且要弄清文章的深层意义。当对语言的把握不很准确时,可充分利用社会文化知识和生活常识来帮助判断。
例如:(NMET1998)Every morning she would give him breakfast 1 bed and bring him the papers to 2 .
1. A. to B. at C. in D. by
2. A. check B. read C. keep D. sign
分析:1题的答案是C,bed的前面应当用介词in。至于2题,就要用到相应的文化背景知识:外国人有早上读报的习惯,句中papers即报纸(newspapers)。这是理解文章细节的关键。有了这些文化背景知识,便可迅速推断出最佳选项B. read。因为生活中过分溺爱孩子的母亲,让儿子“在床上”吃早饭,“读”早报是很自然的事情,这也正与文章的主旨相吻合。
3. 根据词语的习惯用法和固定搭配来选择答案词的固定搭配,特别是动词的搭配在完形填空题中出现的比例也是比较大的,多数题目涉及到动词的用法和各种搭配关系,这是由动词在句子中的重要性决定的。动词在搭配关系上与名词、介词、副词的用法紧密相关。 解决这类题目要求考生多读、多记,对所学习语或固定搭配牢固掌握,并能灵活运用。
例如: The other day I was sitting in a small restaurant 1 a quiet drink and a talk with a few friends when it suddenly 2 me that almost everyone in the restaurant was smoking. It wasn’t long 3 the whole room was filled with smoke.
1. A. have B. had C. having D. have had
2. A. seemed B. struck C. sank D. showed
3. A. ago B. after C. before D. now
分析:解题1选C,是因为它这里是表伴随。解题2选B是因为struck的意思有 “使……想到”,其它几个意思不符,搭配也不合理。解题3选C,it wasn’t long before是一个固定搭配的句型。
4. 根据词汇的意义及用法辨析词义从而确定答案。完形填空题的考查虽然越来越淡化语法,但对语言点的考查依然存在,不过主要体现在词汇搭配和语义辨析两个方面。要做好这种题目,必须尽量将词语辨析与情节推理和逻辑推理结合起来,从词汇意义入手,抓住情节线索解决问题。
例如:Dad taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times.
I remembered one of his 1 , one night when I was ready to quit (退出) a political campaign(运动)I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.
Tired, feeling the months of 2 , I went up to my study to make some notes.
1. A. classes B. advice C. lessons D. talks
2. A. struggle B. working C. battle D. defence
分析:class(课,班级,阶级)advice(忠告,建议,不可数名词)lesson(课程,教训)talk(谈话,讲演),根据短文中提供的信息,应该是作者准备退出一场失败了的政治活动时,父亲“教训”了他一顿,所以1题的答案是C. lessons。2题的选项B. working(工作,劳动), D. defence(防卫,辩护)明显不合乎逻辑,A. struggle意为“斗争,战争”,C. battle是指大型战役中的小规模“战斗”。作者在这次政治活动中经历了数月的艰辛,为争取某种权利而进行了艰苦的“斗争”,根据文章的情节线索我们可以确定最佳选项是A。这两个题的解决都借助了词义的辨析,同时也离不开对短文情节发展的把握。

内容概要:本文对比了人们对于生活在伦敦市区及城外的利弊。
1. 选C。由首句提示可知,因很多在伦敦工作的人愿意住在郊外,所以,为了赶车上班,不得不比其他人起得早些,故用 earlier,下文的later也暗示了这一点。
2. 选A。reach home是“回到家”之意,感情色彩较浓,与go into their office 等相对。而family, flat, house均无此意。
3. 选B。舍because而取that是因为此句并无真正的因果关系,而只说明一项事实:“……好处是……”。
4. 选D。由下文的举例可知郊外的房价比城里便宜得多。
5. 选B。flat指“一套房间”,当然无花园。而house指“一所住宅”,可以有花园。所以此处选B项。
6. 选D。如果选A,语法不通。选B和C项,则意义不当。要花很多钱,当然是“租”房了。
7. 选C。由句子中的one可推出one’s。
8. 选A。be free from指“没有……的”,是固定搭配。
9. 选B。由连词and连接的两个动作依次发生和下文的spend more time in trains or buses可判定此处是“早起”,而不可能是A、C或D项。
10. 选D。因有乡村的清雅恬静,人的心情好,于是就有了晚上“睡得好”和下文的种花种菜之类的活动。
11. 选A。固定用法,很容易得出答案。
12. 选C。形容夏夜的空气宜用“新鲜(fresh)”。虽然pleasant有“令人愉快”之意,但用来形容air,则不如fresh恰当。
13. 选B。like指“爱好”。want指“想要得到”,表示目的。interest指“使……高兴”,因为宾语garden是一个无生命的东西,A、C、D项用在这里显然不通。
14. 选C。one’s spare time 某人的空闲时间。
15. 选D。这里的need用作及物动词。
16. 选C。come up指“萌芽”或“长出”,是上文plant(种)为一行为的结果。
17. 选A。定语从句,关系代词作主语。
18. 选D。因为有上文田园风光的描绘,此处分享“大自然”的奥秘应该是不困难的。
19. 选A。根据上文的however,可知此处为否定。
20. 选B。由however一词可以推出下文是与上文相反的一种情况。
1. 选B。feel 在此处指“认为,感到”。
2. 选C。be worth doing表示“值得干某事”,这是固定用法。
3. 选B。live life 指“过日子,生活”。
4. 选B。a visit to some place指“到某处参观”。
5. 选D。根据文章意思可得出答案,指“需要”。

答案简析:
1. 选D。从前一句来看,这家生活十分贫穷,以致连买一块巧克力糖的钱也要通过节省这一途径。余者不合文意。
1. 选A。B、D不合文意,首先可予排除,C不能概全,实际上这时什么心情都有。从后一分句中的great day中可推知,这是一个“不同寻常”的时刻。
2. 选A。从词汇搭配看,另三词不能与with连用。
3. 选C。根据下文可知是给他“独自”吃。
4. 选B。与上一句的present(给予)相对应。
5. 选C。从as though it were a bar of solid…来看,他将巧克力糖看作象宝贝一样,绝对舍不得一下子吃光,而是将其“小心翼翼地”放在盒子里,以便慢慢享用。
6. 选D。belong不及物,不能接宾语,imagine和reject不合文意,这三项不能选用。
7. 选B。a bar of solid gold意为“金条”,根据常识和修饰词solid可选定。
8. 选A。凭语感。
9. 选B。根据语境应为“允许”自己看。其余不合逻辑。
10. 选D。与look at 形成对比。
11. 选C。根据下文“他将其剥开一点轻咬”来看,他已不能“忍受”巧克力糖的诱惑了。
12. 选A。下一个空格后再现了a tiny bit这一短语。
13. 选C。expose“使露出”。另show与separate不合文意,taste是下一步才有的动作,故这三项应予排除。
14. 选B。spreed out扩散开,合乎文意。而stick out(伸出)。search out (寻找,找到),speak out(说出)明显不合句意。
15. 选D。根据常识,味道应在“舌”面上扩散开。
16. 选D。another表示“(三者以上的)另一个”。
17. 选C。in this way “以这种方式”。
18. 选B。last在此意为“够……之用”。余者不合文意。

答案简析:
1、选B。由the car was going too……it couldn’t stop in time可以推知。由后面的原因状语从句也可以推知。
2、选D。前后意义形成转折。
3、选A。由“车子不能及时停下来”可推知,车子开得太快了。
4、选B。由于车子开得太快,汤姆“意识到”它不可能及时停下来。
5、选A。manage to do(设法得以),fail to do (没能够),be able to do (能够)与后一分句but it was too late矛盾,不能选用。
6、选D。out of one’s(the) way系固定搭配,意为“不挡道”。
7、选B。knocked down“撞倒”。
8、选A。根据后文可知,汤姆并未死,而是“差一点”死了。
9、选C。见到人被撞倒,行人应是“快速地”来到他的身旁,余者不合语境。
10、选B。called for意为“叫来”。余者不合文意。
11、选A。前后意义形成转折。
12、选C。根据常识用笔记下的应是“车号”。
13、选B。由于警察就在现场,应是将所记的车号当面“给”他。
14、选C。受了重伤的汤姆只能被送到“医院”。 15、选C。根据常识较易排除另三项。
16、选B。A、C不合习惯表达法,D不合逻辑。
17、选B。担心他有“可能”死。could也可表示可能性,但所表示的可能性要比might大,在此不合语境(因为结果未死)。A、D不合逻辑。
18、选D。woke up “苏醒”,与for three days Tom was not able to feel or think形成对比。
19、选C。见到儿子苏醒过来,应该“高兴”。
20、选D。警察有了车号,很快便“追”上了肇事的司机。
