冲刺2019年高考英语黄金考点解析解密20：完形填空之说明文 23页

考点详解 ‎【命题特点】‎ ‎ 说明文往往围绕一个问题从不同的侧面来加以说明，通常结构严谨，句子结构复杂，因此也是高考完形填空题中较难理解的一种文体。其主要特点为：‎ ‎1. 开头点题 在说明文类的完形填空中，作者一般在文章的首句直接提出说明的对象，这是掌握说明细节的前提。‎ ‎2.结构清晰 ‎ 说明文一般按一定的顺序展开。理清文章的说明顺序，对于正确把握文意和上下文的逻辑关系，选择正确答案具有重要意义。‎ ‎3.难度较大 ‎ 说明文往往采用比较正式的文体，表述准确严谨，生词术语较多，句子较长，结构较为复杂。‎ ‎4.遣词用字简练 ‎ 说明文一般采用简练的语言，按一定的方法介绍事物的类别、性质、特点、构造、成因、关系或事物的运动变化、发展的过程及其规律。‎ ‎5.条理清晰 ‎ 说明文十分讲究条理性，一般采取时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序或认知顺序来说明事物或事理。‎ ‎【应试策略】‎ ‎1. 快速弄清文章大意 ‎ 对于此类文章我们结合选择项，进行粗读或略读，对文章的大意要先有一个大体的了解。说明文往往生词较多，而题材又比较广泛，所以阅读时，首先要能够掌握文章的大意。‎ ‎2. 弄清楚说明的顺序 ‎ 把握了说明顺序，就能准确把握文章的脉络，加强对整篇文章的理解。‎ ‎3. 把握文章的组织结构，理清事实细节 ‎ 把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明性的文章一般都是一篇完整的、意思表达清楚的、逻辑比较严密的短文。在阅读这类文章时，我们一定要仔细研读文章的开头和结尾，从主题句着手，找出支持句，然后寻找文章的结论。这时，我们还要特别注意，不要被表面的一些细节所迷惑，我们在理解细节的基础上，还要斟酌文字的内涵意义，从而对文章进行深层次的理解。‎ ‎4. 注重上下文语境 ‎ 应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境作深入的理解，克服＂思维定势＂，根据全文大意和词不离句、句不离文的原则逐项填空。‎ ‎5. 熟练做题方法，遵循四个原则：‎ ‎（1）上下一致。每个选择项必须从全文出发，从大处着手，避免孤立地分析每一空格，造成误选。‎ ‎（2）语法正确。从语法地角度去考虑动词的时态、语态以及词类用法。‎ ‎（3）逻辑合理。在完形填空题中，逻辑推理非常重要，有时每个选择项从语法上讲都正确，但是有的是不合语境逻辑的。‎ ‎（4）符合搭配。英语中固定搭配很多，需要熟练掌握，才能做好此类题目。‎ 检测训练 题组一 真题在线 Cloze 1 (2016·上海)‎ In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 1 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.‎ In any case, despite so much evidence to the 2 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 3 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 4 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.‎ Different cultures have different ways of 5 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making — all members of the department or work group are asked to 6 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 7 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 8 managers cannot.‎ A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 9 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 10 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 11 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 12 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 13 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.‎ Another trend is off-site or 14 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 15 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.‎ ‎1. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike ‎ ‎2.

B 由后面的例子他们认为如果要员工效率高，就需要给予他们不断的监督可知此处是举例说明。故B项正确。‎ ‎4. D 根据后句可知，此处是说，他们的决定是来自上而下的，没有任何商量的余地。故D项＂above上面的＂正确。‎ ‎5. C 根据前段可知本文讨论的是管理学的理论，此处是说，不同的文化中有不同的管理人的方法。故C项正确。‎ ‎6. B refer to提到，谈到；contribute to做贡献，导致；object to反对；apply to适用于。此处是说，亚洲人使用的是协商式的管理方法，所有人都被要求对管理的过程作出自己的贡献。故B项正确。‎ ‎7. A agreement同意；practice练习，做法；election选举；impression印象。此处是说，亚洲人使用协商式的管理方法，这种方法是建立在共同协商的基础上的，西方人也想模仿这样的管理方法。故A项正确。‎ ‎8. D 根据前半句＂...women will become more effective managers than men...＂可知有些专家认为女性比男性管理更高效，因为女性更有亲和力，比男性管理人更容易与别人达成一致的目标。故D项正确。‎ ‎9. A 根据前句＂... encourage employees to use their own initiative... ＂（鼓励员工使用自己的首创精神），也就是说在作出决定的时候不用先请示上级经理。故A项正确。‎ ‎12. B economically经济地；traditionally传统地；inadequately不充分地；occasionally偶尔地。根据后句Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control可知授权管理是一种新型的管理方法，与传统的管理模式不一样。故B项正确。‎ ‎13. D ‎ ‎ deny否认；admit承认；assume假定，设想；ensure保证，确保。授权管理是一种新型的管理方法，省略了中央管理环节，保证了整个商业计划被采用。根据句意可知D正确。‎ ‎14. A virtual虚拟的；ineffective无效果的，低效率的；day-to-day日常的；on-the-scene现场的。根据后句where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses可知在这种新型的管理方法中，人们都是通过邮件和网络联系，说明这是一种新型通过虚拟网络进行管理的方法。故A项正确。‎ ‎15. C opinion观点；risk冒险；performance表现；attractiveness魅力。根据后半句＂in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them＂可知我们评价员工的表现是根据他们的产品，而不是他们的工作时间。故C项正确。‎ Cloze 2 (2014·新课标全国卷Ⅰ) ‎ ‎ As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine (常规) basis.As a matter of fact, we can see this 　1　at work in people of all 　2　.For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about 　3　with their new toys.But their 　4　soon wears off and by January those 　5　toys can be found put away in the basement.

A 其实,我们可从各年龄段的人们身上看到这个准则是如何起作用的。第一段的第一句出现短语As a general rule,本空填principle呼应名词rule。‎ ‎2. D 各年龄段的人都会产生厌倦情绪。从下文可知,孩子厌倦玩具、少年厌倦高中、青年厌倦大学、成年 人厌倦开车、老年人厌倦退休后的生活。因此本空填ages。‎ ‎3. C 在圣诞节早上,孩子们一开始很喜欢玩(playing)他们的新玩具。‎ ‎4. B 但是,不久他们对新玩具的兴趣(interest)逐渐消失了。‎ ‎11. A 但是,不久他们就盼望着毕业(graduation)。‎ ‎12. C 前句中的young adults暗示下文谈论的是成年人。根据文意可知,抱怨每天开车上班花费时间长的人, ‎ ‎ 应该是成年人。‎ ‎13.

However, 110 years is probably the longest that anyone could hope to live — if he or she is 　2　 healthy and lucky. Some scientists even say we can live as long as 130 years! Yet, our cells simply cannot continue to reproduce 　3　. They wear out, and as a result, we get old and 　4　 die.‎ ‎ Even though we can’t live forever, we are living a 　5　 life than ever before. In 1900, the average American life span(寿命)was only 47 years, but today it is 75 years!‎ ‎ When does old age begin then? Sixty-five may be out-of-date as the 　6　 line between middle age and old age. After all, many older people don’t begin to experience physical and mental 　7　 until after age 75.‎ ‎ People are living longer because more people 　8　 childhood. Before modern medicine changed the laws of nature, many children died of common childhood 　9　. Now that the chances of dying 　10　 are much lower, the chances of living long are much higher due to better diets and health care.‎ ‎ On the whole, our population is getting older. The 　11　 in our population will have lasting effects on our social development and our way of life. Some people fear such changes will be for the worse, while some see 　12　, not disaster. Today, many men and women in their "golden years" are healthy, still active, and young in 　13　 if not in age.‎ ‎ As our society grows old, we need the 　14　 of our older citizens. With long lives ahead of them, they need to 　15　 active and be devoted.‎ ‎1. A. designed B. selected C. improved D. discovered ‎2. A. completely B. generally C. apparently D. extremely ‎3.

A. protection B. suggestions C. contributions D. permission ‎15. A. sound B. appear C. turn D. stay ‎1. A 此处表示我们人体的设计就是最长活到120岁。design意为"设计"。‎ ‎2. D 根据上下文可知,此处表示110岁很可能是任何一个人可能会希望活的最长的年龄——如果一个人 极其健康和幸运的话,extremely "极度,极其"。‎ ‎8. A 根据下文中的"Before modern medicine changed... 　9　"中的"changed"和"died of"可知,现代医学改 变了这一状况,由此可知现在更多人活过童年,因此用survive。‎ ‎9. D 通过上文的"modern medicine"可知此处选diseases。‎ ‎10. B 由上文中的"childhood"可知这里应选young,空后的"the chances of living long are much higher"也是 提示。‎ ‎11. A 通过下文的"such changes"可知本题的答案。‎ ‎12. B 根据后面的"not disaster"可知这里用chances,也就是一些人看到的是机会而不是灾难。‎ ‎13. A in mind和后文的in age相对应。‎ ‎14. C 此处指的是我们需要老年人的贡献(contributions)。故选C。‎ ‎15. D stay active意思为"保持积极"。‎ Cloze 4 (2015·安徽) ‎ ‎ In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one.
