1、2020年暑假新高三英语增分专项突破+题型特训08知识运用类:完形填空之说明文考试大纲要求考纲解读在一篇250词左右的短文中留出20个空白,要求考生从每题所给的4个选项中选出最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。既考查考生的英语基础知识,又考查考生综合运用语言的能力。主要考查考生的语言综合运用能力,包括词语辨析能力、语法结构分析能力、语篇理解能力、逻辑推理能力、文化背景透析能力、作者意图剖析能力和生活常识运用能力。该题型分值高(30分,占整套试卷分数的20%),区分度强,是考生分数最容易拉开距离的题型。说明文的写作目的是授人以知,让人明白,说明文只是说明事物的特征,阐明原理,介绍知识。
2、说明文完形填空的结构模式一般是:提出问题发现直接原因分析深层原因得出结论或提出解决方案。一、说明类完形填空的命题特点说明类完形填空题常就某一个问题从不同的角度来加以说明,文章可以是用来说明某一种社会现象、一个产品的制作过程、一种产品的使用方法、某个科学成就或人类生活中所面临的某个具体的难题。说明文所呈现的方式较为单一,作者往往一开始就交代说明的对象,然后再从不同的角度进行说明。因此,这类文章的每一段通常就是其中的一个角度或侧面,所以要注意概括每一个段落的主旨大意,尤其是文章每一段的开头或结尾,作者往往会对说明的话题进行概括说明。二、说明类完形填空的应试策略 1. 利用说明文的首句查找说明主体2
3、. 把握说明文的两种结构模式(1)总分式。包括总分分总总分总等具体形式。(2)递进式。事理说明文多用递进式结构,一层一层地剖析事理。具体包括:空间顺序从上到下、从外到内、从左到右、从南到北、从远到近、从中间到四周、从整体到部分;时间顺序按照时间先后顺序来安排,事物都有发生、发展、消亡的过程;逻辑顺序有些说明文主要是剖析事理的,在说明时就按照事理的逻辑关系进行安排,或者从主到次、从浅到深、从原因到结果,具有严密的条理性。三、说明类完形填空的解题步骤第一步:通过短文首尾句抓主旨说明文的篇首会出现话题中心,通过首段可把握文章的主题;而尾句往往是文章的结论或点睛之笔。第二步:填空时关注段落或意群间的内
4、在联系第三步:重览短文,查缺补漏通读文章,检查思路是否顺畅及有无逻辑关系错误,同时填补遗留的空缺。2019年,全国卷III,完形填空 The small town of Rjukan in Norway is situated between several mountains and does not get direct sunlight from late September to mid-March- 1 six months out of the year.

Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 1
20、 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 effec
21、tively, 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 decis
22、ion-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 man
23、agers 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 d
24、ownsizing: 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
25、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
26、 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. desireB. seekC. loseD. dislike 2.

32、可以直接作出决定而不需要请示上级,故动词reduce减少符合语境。11. B be honored with被授予;be left with留下,剩下;be crowded with挤满;be compared with与相比,通过这种方法,公司只剩下高层管理者和与公众直接联系的一线管理人,省略了很多中央环节,提高了管理的成效。故B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 manageme

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。1Over the centuries Shakespeares plays have gained
35、a reputation for being difficult to understand. But if his work is experienced on stage as Shakespeare intended, then it can become much clearer. In fact 95% of the words used in Shakespeares plays are the same words we use today.The meanings of some words have altered significantly, 1 , because Sha
36、kespeare was writing at a time of great linguistic change. This gave him a certain amount of 2 license in his language.So what can Shakespeares plays tell us about how people really spoke at this time? And did anyone really speak like his characters? The lines spoken by Corin to Rosalind and Celia i
37、n As You Like It probably werent 3 of an Elizabethan shepherd.The first thing to remember about Shakespeares work is that he wrote plays to entertain. They are 4 works, and the dialogue was exploited to suit the stage. Therefore his characters language did not always 5 how real people would have spo
38、ken.For instance, in As You Like It when Corin, the shepherd, talks of love, his lines are beautiful and poetic but 6 unrealistic. The lines Shakespeare gave Corin probably wouldnt have been used by an Elizabethan shepherd instead they 7 to highlight the drama.Another example of how the theatrical s
39、tyle enriched Shakespeares text can be seen in the structure of his lines. According to the practice of the time, Shakespeare wrote his poems in iambic pentameter(抑扬格五音步) so it was 8 for his actors to learn. When Shakespeare was writing, new plays were performed every day so this 10-beat structure w
40、as a great help for anyone having to learn a lot of lines for the next days play. 9 this structure meant that, on occasion, Shakespeare made up or adapted words to fit. 10 , on several occasions Shakespeare changed the word “vast” to “vasty” when “vast” did not fit the 11 of the line. But if we look
41、 beyond the dialogue to the words themselves we can find out a little of how people really spoke.We can come close to this thanks to “original pronunciation” which is a system of 12 that reproduce how the Elizabethans are believed to have spoken. Today it sounds like a West Country accent, with echo
42、es of other parts of the country. When we 13 this to Shakespeares dialogue, rhymes and puns(押韵与双关) that are not heard in modern English are suddenly revealed.So through Shakespeares plays we can 14 a great deal about how people really spoke.

Thats what a Starbucks store has been 23 to creating for its customers a kind of “third place” where they can 24 , reflect, read, chat or listen.The green Starbucks logo is a mermaid that looks like the end of the double
