高考英語(yǔ)完形填空專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練(含答案)

高考英語(yǔ)完形填空解題思路與訓(xùn)練一、高考英語(yǔ)完形填空命題與解題思路完形填空題是高考英語(yǔ)卷中的重要題型，不僅側(cè)重于考查學(xué)生的邏輯思維能力和對(duì)具體語(yǔ)境把握能力，更是對(duì)學(xué)生整體語(yǔ)篇意義理解的連貫性和運(yùn)用語(yǔ)言的準(zhǔn)確性考查。它屬于有一定難度的障礙性閱讀理解題，是學(xué)生感到最難把握的題型之一。分析近幾年高考題，完形填空所選短文的體裁多為記敘文、說(shuō)明文和議論文。寫人或記事，兼有個(gè)別議論的句子。趣味性強(qiáng)并兼有教育意義。一般為400單詞左右的一篇短文，其內(nèi)容邏輯性強(qiáng)，文章結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，層次分明。文章首句不設(shè)空，但交待相關(guān)的背景材料，可挖掘的信息點(diǎn)很多，對(duì)整篇文章的理解起著至關(guān)重要的作用。近幾年試題中尤為注重說(shuō)明文和議論文。說(shuō)明文命題趨勢(shì)：說(shuō)明型完形填空選材難度一般低于試卷中的閱讀理解大題。在設(shè)空與選項(xiàng)設(shè)計(jì)方面充分體現(xiàn)了語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用題的要求：以實(shí)詞為主（名、動(dòng)、形、副），絕大多數(shù)小題都要從全文角度進(jìn)行判斷。這一命題思路體現(xiàn)了“語(yǔ)篇意識(shí)”。議論文命題趨勢(shì)：議論文是一種通過(guò)剖析事物，論述事理，提出主張，發(fā)表見(jiàn)解的文體。議論型完形填空分為兩種，一種是夾敘夾議型完形填空；另一種是純議論型完形填空。第一種的基本模式是：敘述事件，提出感悟，作出結(jié)論。第二種的基本模式是：提出論點(diǎn)，列舉論據(jù)，提出看法。那么如何做好完形填空呢？解題思路一：通讀全文，了解大意，先易后難。通常在答題之前,要花1—2分鐘把文章略讀一遍,以便對(duì)文章有個(gè)大概的了解。在詳讀的過(guò)程中，可以邊讀邊選擇一些容易的選項(xiàng),對(duì)個(gè)別不理解的單詞、短語(yǔ),可以先不管它們。等讀完文章后,大部分的空格已填完,全文的意思基本已掌握,剩下的難題也就比較容易解決了。解題思路二：依據(jù)首句線索，緊扣主題選擇。首句通常是文章的主題句，通常不設(shè)空，便于考生對(duì)短文主題、內(nèi)容或背景有個(gè)大概了解。它的目的是向考生提供時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件、論點(diǎn)等有用的信息。把握了主題句,對(duì)于理解全文和解題很有幫助。例：OnahotsummerdayinlastAugust,IsoughtshadeandacooldrinkatawaterfrontcaféonaGreekisland.Overahundreddegreesin______air. A.fresh B.cool C.still D.thin解析:C。故事發(fā)生在一個(gè)炎熱的夏天,溫度高,自然沒(méi)風(fēng)。still在此處為形容詞,意思是“靜止的,不動(dòng)的”,即沒(méi)風(fēng)。解題思路三：瞻前顧后,謹(jǐn)慎選擇。有些選擇項(xiàng)根據(jù)上下句就能比較容易地做出正確判斷,有些則必須根據(jù)整篇文章的大意才能推出。通過(guò)上下文,尋找隱含的各種信息和緊抓語(yǔ)境暗示是解答完形填空題的主要手段和策略。例：Themanstepped___1___forthetwochairs.Hepolitely___2___hisladyintheknee-deepwaterandthensatdownhimself.1.A.outside B.forward C.down D.back2.A.led B.seated C.watched D.received解析：1.D。根據(jù)上下文,不難看出,那兩口子搬完桌子后,又回來(lái)搬椅子,即:stepbackforsth.2.B。本空后有賓語(yǔ)hislady,根據(jù)后半句“andthensatdownhimself”,答案應(yīng)為seatedhislady“讓他夫人就坐”。解題思路四：借助語(yǔ)法知識(shí),選擇正確的答案。例1：WhenEdfirstphonedand______weplay,Ilaughedquietly… A.declared B.mentioned C.persuaded D.suggested解析：D。根據(jù)學(xué)過(guò)的語(yǔ)法知識(shí),我們知道主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞表示建議的意思時(shí),賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,即用“(should)+動(dòng)詞原形”。題干句中“play”的形式是關(guān)鍵信息。例2：FinallyPeterdecidedtogototheUSAand，ashisfatherhadtoldhim，______tobeadoctor. A.studies B.studying C.study D.studied解析：C。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空白處與前面的動(dòng)詞go為并列動(dòng)詞不定式，均作謂語(yǔ)decided的賓語(yǔ)，故選C。此題若忽略分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，很容易誤選D。此題的難點(diǎn)在于句中有一個(gè)插入性質(zhì)的as引導(dǎo)的從句，將兩個(gè)不定式分隔開(kāi)了。從而造成辨認(rèn)第二個(gè)動(dòng)詞不定式的困難。解題思路五：利用生活常識(shí)，文化背景。例：Oneday,thegirl___1___intotheplane,starteditandsoonleftthe___2___. 1.A.climbed B.looked C.reached D.fell2.A.house B.floor C.water D.ground解析：1.A。2.D。根據(jù)生活常識(shí)，這女孩應(yīng)是先爬進(jìn)機(jī)艙，才能起動(dòng)飛機(jī)，最后使飛機(jī)飛離地面。解題思路六：采取排除法。解答完形填空題的過(guò)程中，有時(shí)我們會(huì)遇到這樣的情況：對(duì)某一題的正確選項(xiàng)的含義、用法不甚明白，但發(fā)現(xiàn)其他選項(xiàng)有顯而易見(jiàn)的謬誤。這時(shí)我們可以嘗試排除法,剔除錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng)。隨著選擇范圍的縮小,選中正確選項(xiàng)的機(jī)會(huì)就會(huì)增大。例：However,thetypicalteenagelifestyleisalreadyfilledwithsomuchcompetitionthatitwouldbe___1___toplanactivitiesinwhichtherearemorewinnersthanlosers,___2___,publishingnewsletterswithmanystudent-writtenbookreviews,___3___studentartwork,andsponsoringbookdiscussionclubs.3.A.displayingB.describingC.creatingD.exchanging解析：A。第3題的解題步驟為：首先從動(dòng)賓搭配上看，C選項(xiàng)（創(chuàng)造學(xué)生藝術(shù)品）可以排除，再?gòu)脑摼涞纳衔目础Ｉ衔恼f(shuō)應(yīng)該設(shè)計(jì)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性小的活動(dòng)，所以答案應(yīng)該是“展示學(xué)生藝術(shù)作品”。解題思路七:找尋固定詞組、常用句型或習(xí)慣用法。例1：Awaiterappeared.Hepausedforjustasecond,walkedintothewaterto______thetableand…… A.set B.wash C.remove D.check解析：A。setthetable在飯桌上擺好刀叉等餐具準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)飯。這是一種固定說(shuō)法。例2.Withit,astronautswillacquireaworkhousevehicle______offlyingintospaceandreturningmanytimes. A.capable B.suitable C.efficient D.fit解析：A。becapableof是習(xí)慣搭配，意為“能夠”。建議：1）注意詞語(yǔ)的搭配：動(dòng)詞的搭配(do和make的搭配能力較強(qiáng)，要記牢、記熟)。do(ajob,work,shopping,cooking,reading,typing,sewing,good,wrong,damage,harm,afavor,aninjury,etc.)make(astudy,anappointment,arrangements,abreakthrough,acall,acomparison,contribution,adeal,adecision,adiscovery,distinction,aguess,preparations,astart,astart,asurvey,anattempt,anerror,aprofit,afortune,aliving,one’sway,sense,point,peace,bed,coffee,afuss,etc.)2）形容詞與名詞的搭配有的具有一定的文化背景，學(xué)生要注意“貌合神離”的詞語(yǔ)。如：luckydog幸運(yùn)兒、righthand得力助手、narrowescape死里逃生、darkhorse出人意料的獲勝者3）有些形容詞可以加一個(gè)形容詞修飾，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，使表達(dá)更加生動(dòng)。如：pitchdark（漆黑的）、brandnew（嶄新的）、crystalclear（水晶般的）、wideopen（張得大大的）、fastasleep（睡得很熟的）、wideawake（完全醒著的）、icycold（冰冷的）,etc.4）有些形容詞可以和不同的介詞搭配，學(xué)生應(yīng)注意比較、歸納。如：sickfor渴望、tiredfrom因…而疲勞、engagedin忙于、sickof厭倦、tiredof對(duì)…厭倦、engagedto與某人訂婚。解題思路八:利用原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn),選擇最佳選項(xiàng)。1．在完形填空中,某一詞語(yǔ)通常重復(fù)出現(xiàn),使得語(yǔ)篇中的句子相互銜接和連貫,從而構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的意義整體。例1:Firstofallhewasawindow-cleanerandinhisfirstweekhemanagedto______sixwindows.A.rub B.drop C.break D.clean解析：D。同源詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，由window-cleaner可知為cleanthewindow。2．同現(xiàn)指意義上相互聯(lián)系的單詞同時(shí)出現(xiàn)在同一語(yǔ)篇中。一個(gè)語(yǔ)篇，一個(gè)話題，要求有與之相連的詞匯。1）名詞同現(xiàn)：與一個(gè)話題或一個(gè)名詞出現(xiàn)在同一個(gè)語(yǔ)境的另一個(gè)名詞。如：schoolprimaryschool—middleschool—college—universitystudents—pupils—graduates—postgraduates2）動(dòng)詞同現(xiàn)：與一個(gè)話題或一個(gè)名詞出現(xiàn)在同一個(gè)語(yǔ)境的另一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。如：school—teach—learn—attend—found—dropout—graduate—bedismissed3)形容詞同現(xiàn);就某一語(yǔ)境而言所能出現(xiàn)的形容詞也是有規(guī)律的。如：在學(xué)校這個(gè)語(yǔ)境中：（key）school—（optional）course—（compulsory）course4)結(jié)構(gòu)同現(xiàn):結(jié)構(gòu)同現(xiàn)批搭配之類的句型和成對(duì)出現(xiàn)的短語(yǔ)。如：some…,others;ononehand…,ontheotherhand;former…,latter;so…that;notonly…butalso;hardly/scarcely…when…;nosooner…than…;beabouttodo/bedoing/haddone/beonthepointofdoing/betodo/bereadytodo/beontheway…when…;例2:Iputmyheadin,expectingtheworst.Buttomysurprise,theroomwasn’temptyatall.Ithadfurniture,curtains,aTV,andevenpaintingsonthewall.Andthenonthewell-madebedsatAmy,mynew______,dressedneatly.A.roommate B.classmate C.neighbor D.companion解析：A。名詞同現(xiàn)，從room,furniture,等同現(xiàn)信息可知。例3:Wewere______togobackforclassagainwhentheheadmastercalledustogetherandsaid,…A.about B.able C.sorry D.sure解析：A。結(jié)構(gòu)同現(xiàn)，beabouttodo…when…。解題思路九：順應(yīng)文意,定位選詞。做題時(shí),要充分利用上下文,找到有提示作用的詞。這些詞可以是同義詞、近義詞或反義詞,也可以是并列連詞或轉(zhuǎn)折連詞等等。例1:AfteryouhavelearnedtothinkofseveralwordsinEnglish，thenmoveontothenextstep—thinkingin______. A.sentences B.passages C.1essons D.classes解析：A。需注意上下文邏輯推理以及名詞的含義。第一步是考慮單詞，接下來(lái)應(yīng)該是考慮句子。故選A。例2:Somepartsofthewaterareveryshallow.Butinsomeplacesitisvery______. A.deep B.high C.cold D.dangerous解析：A。根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but的提示，所填入的詞應(yīng)與shallow相反，因此答案為A。例3:Comparisonsweredrawnbetweenthedevelopmentoftelevisioninthe20thcenturyandthediffusionofprintinginthe15thand16thcenturies.Yetmuchhadhappened__1__.Aswasdiscussedbefore,itwasnot__2__the19thcenturythatthenewspaperbecamethedominantpre-electronic__3__.1.A.betweenB.beforeC.sinceD.later2.A.afterB.byC.duringD.until3.A.meansB.methodC.mediumD.measure解析：1.A.2.D.3.C。我們注意到文章講了兩個(gè)時(shí)間：20世紀(jì)和15、16世紀(jì)，而19世紀(jì)顯然是處在兩者之間，故第1題填between。第2題是一語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)題，固定結(jié)構(gòu)：Itwasnotuntilthat。第3題屬于前面介紹的"信息詞"題。上文中出現(xiàn)的：television,printing,newspaper均說(shuō)明該題應(yīng)填medium。解題思路十：仔細(xì)推敲,注重邏輯。做完完形填空題后,要根據(jù)所選答案迅速地把文章完整地讀一遍,看語(yǔ)法、慣用法對(duì)不對(duì);看是否符合上下文的邏輯;看是否符合故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展,以便更正可能的錯(cuò)誤選擇。一個(gè)完整的語(yǔ)篇應(yīng)該是符合邏輯的，文章邏輯關(guān)系的取得主要靠過(guò)渡詞的使用。作者利用轉(zhuǎn)承語(yǔ)保證文章的邏輯，學(xué)生在做完形填空時(shí)應(yīng)通過(guò)自己對(duì)上下文的理解，找到適當(dāng)?shù)倪壿嬯P(guān)系，然后選擇正確的過(guò)渡詞。學(xué)生必掌握常見(jiàn)的過(guò)渡詞：1.遞進(jìn)inaddition,furthermore,again,also,besides,moreover,what’smore,what’sworse,tomakemattersworse,tomakethingsworse,worsestill2.比較inthesameway,aswith,similarly,equally,incomparison,justas3.對(duì)照incontrast,ontheotherhand,instead,however,nevertheless,unlike,onthecontrary,while4.因果because,becauseof,for,since,dueto,owingto,thanksto,asaresult(of),so,thus5.強(qiáng)調(diào)certainly,aboveall,indeed,ofcourse,surely,actually,asamatteroffact,especially，inparticular,absolutely,6.讓步although,though,afterall,inspiteof7.舉例forexample,forinstance,thatis,namely,suchas,inotherwords,inthiscase,bywayofillustration.8.時(shí)間和空間afterward,after,first,later,then,soon,finally,atlastoutside,near,beyond,above,below,ontheright(left),inthemiddle,opposite,infrontof9.總結(jié)tosumup,toconclude,inaword,inshort,inbrief,allinall,inall,insummary例1:IthasbeenmanyyearssinceIwaslastinLondon______Istillremembersomethingthathappenedduringthatvisit.
