高考完形填空命题趋势:
在高考所有题型中,对知识和能力的考查,完形填空可能是要求最高的。一篇250词左右的短文,被挖去20个单词或短语,要求考生在有限的时间内,运用学过的词汇、语法、语言逻辑推理以及跨文化差异等知识和能力等进行准确的判断,从而使文章通顺畅达,恢复原样。近10年来,完形填空测试的命题趋势如下:
1.由于完形填空是考学生综合运用英语能力的题型,所以该题型能比较全面地测试考生阅读理解能力、逻辑分析以及推断能力和语法运用能力;
2.测试上述能力的手段是将语言点、语法点放在一个完整的语篇环境中;
3.每篇文章都有一个主题;
4.每篇文章开头1-2句不挖空,以便让考生在开始作答时对文章有初步的了解。
应试对策:
1.考主应迅速地通读全文,了解文章的主旨;
2.结合文后的备选答案,本着先易后难的原则初步作出选择,以便为深人解题扫清一般障碍;
3.抓住上下文的信息词和信息句,主要从语意选择入手。浯法选择亦应注意;
4.在完形填空的挖空中,主要考查下列知识:
A.名词、代词及其习惯用法;
B.介词、连词及其习惯用法;
C.从句知识;
D.动词类是完形填空的主要考查项目,如非谓浯动词、动词词组、动词在语意上和习惯用法上的辨异知识、虚拟浯气和情态动词等;
E.完形填空的短文一般为叙事性文章,常伴有倒叙、插叙、描述、议论等.尤其要注意到短文的首尾呼应。有时有出乎意料的结局;
F.考生应充分注意语言的跨文化交际性原则,不可忽略文化差异;
G.考生亦应从推理以及常识等认知角度来考虑答题;
H.心态平和、沉着冷静是重要的非智力因素之一,不可急躁、随意。

(NMET1996)The measure of a man' s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
Some thirty years ago,I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O' Neill gave an arithmetic 26 to our class. When the pa-
pers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 29 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O' Neill 30 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 31 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O' Neill asked 32 questions, and she didn' t 33 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 34 words by Thomas Macaulay.
She then ordered us to 35 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don't 36 about the other eleven boys.Speaking for 37 I can say: it was the most important single 38 of my life. Thirty years after being 39 to Macaulay?"s words, they 40 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 41 to measure ourselves rather than others.
42 of us are asked to make 43 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 45 the wallet,found in the street, be put into a pocket 46 turned over to the policeman? Should the 47 change received at the store be forgotten or 48 ? Nobody will know except 49 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 50 to live with someone you respect.

(2002Beijing)As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark an of getong
lost; these fears were very, real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange 36 things looked and sounded in my farmliar mom at night that 37 me so much. There was never total 38 . but a streetlight or passing car lights 39 clothe,, hung over a chair take on the 40 of a wild ani-mai.

My 43 . would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 4,l very. still -so that the "enemy"would not discover me.
Another of my childhcod fears was that I would get lost, 45 on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home-- that was no 46. . After school, a7 , when all the buses were .. 48 up along the street, I was afraid that i'd get on the wrong one and be taken to some 49 neighborboed. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn' t 50 the leaders out of my sight
Perhaps one of the worst fears 51 MI I had as a child was that of not being Liked or 52 by other,s. Being popular was so important to me 53 and
the fear of not being liked was a ,54 one.
One of the proceses.,(过程`)of growing up is being able to 55 and overcome our fear's. Understanding the things that frightened us as children help
us achieve greater success later in life.
