1、专题十六 完形填空【2015高考考纲解读】 1选材以记叙文为主,内容兼有教育性和启迪性。从体裁上看,完形填空题以记叙为主,议论为辅,结构完整,用词准确,篇章条理清晰,叙事通畅明了。从题材上看,完形填空力图选取一篇有教育意义和现实意义的文章,主题明确,逻辑性强,语言地道生动,内容新颖、时尚,内容通常涉及日常生活、文史知识、科技小品、社会热点、政治、经济、人物传记等。2首句一般不设空,全文保持一定的挖空密度。完形填空的第一句一般都是完整的句子,记叙文的第一句通常把短文中故事发生的时间、地点、人物和事件等交代清楚,作为考生在解题时理解并掌握全文大意的基础。很多时候议论文和说明文的第一句是文章的主题句
2、,抓住主题句便抓住了文章的主旨。空格在短文中均衡分布。相邻空格之间间隔适当,避免了提示信息过多或过少的情况。3以语篇考查为主,单纯语法考查很少。完形填空题以语篇为载体,立足于考生对全文的理解。试题注重考查考生结合词汇、语法、语篇知识、生活常识、文化背景知识等进行逻辑推理和综合判断的能力,而非简单考查其词汇使用和单句语法及意义方面的知识。在干扰项的设计上,充分考虑了测试的信度与效度,避免了干扰项与正确项相似度过低或过高而引起的干扰性过弱或过强的情况。单纯考查语法结构的题目数量很少,重在文意干扰,每题四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。如果孤立地看挖空的句子,可能每个选项都能满足句子的需要,无论将哪个选项
3、填进去,从语法上讲都是正确的,但是要确定正确答案,只能根据全文的内容和情节发展作出判断。4考点分布合理。以考查单词为主,短语或词组为辅;以考查实词为主,虚词为辅。这样的设置既要求考生具有很好的词感,能熟练运用所学过的常见词汇,还要求他们具有较强的语感,具有对语篇进行整体处理的能力。做到“上下求索寻信息,左顾右盼找答案,瞻前顾后想全文”,同时结合考生个人积累的各方面的知识正确解读全文。【热点题型】题型一 巧用上下文语境 例1、Body language is the quiet,secret and most powerful language of all!It speaks_1_than w

6、试题,要求考生在解答试题时,以语篇为根本,根据试题所处的语言环境来作出正确的判断与选择。该类题型着重考查考生根据上下文提供的信息进行分析、推理、判断的能力。在高考完形填空试题中,语境题所占比例最大,约在50%以上。考查对具体语境的理解是近几年全国各省市高考完形填空的最大特点,充分体现了高考“突出语境、淡化语法”的改革思路和命题精神。【举一反三】The degree of similarity between the potential helper and the person in need is also important.For example,people are more like

8、ugh these wide modern roads are generally_and well maintained, with little sharp curves and many straight sections, a direct route is not always the most enjoyable one.Astable BsmoothCsplendid Dcomplicated【提分秘籍】一、词语同现一个语篇一定是围绕某个话题进行的,同一话题就会有一些相关联的词语共同出现。如一篇谈学校生活的文章,有可能共同出现的单词有:teacher,classmate,stud
9、ent,classroom,library,laboratory,computer,score,maths,physics,study,desk,chair,holiday等,这种词汇共同出现的倾向性,就叫同现。二、词语复现词语复现又可分为原词复现、同义或近义词复现(包括与近义词的同根词复现, 如ill与sickness)、反义词复现、同源词复现(又叫同根词复现)、上下义词复现等。了解词语复现这种衔接手段, 有助于快速准确地解答完形填空题。1原词复现。为了表达的需要,在具体的上下文中同一个单词重复出现。2同义词、近义词复现。同义词、近义词复现是借助意思相同或相近的表达方式,或解释性的语言使上下
10、文的语义得以连接起来。3反义词复现。语意的连贯有时是通过对比结构而采用反义复现的手段显现的,或者是以反义的方式对前文加以解释,考生可以从反义的角度判断正确的选项。4同源(同根)词复现。上下文语义复现的表达,还可借助复现信息的同源词或同根词。5上下义词复现。在篇章中,有时为了表达的需要,作者会先概述再分述。概述时用的为上义词,上义词具有概括的作用。分述则用比较具体的下义词,两者为总分关系。如:instrument是piano,violin,drum等的上义词;adult是parents,teachers,professor等的上义词;occupation是lawyer,doctor,police
11、man,worker等的上义词。【举一反三】However, this concern is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are talented.Astudents BadultsCscholars Dteachers【热点题型】题型三 善用逻辑联系词 例3、Sometimes it may not be so easy to know

13、 food to eat,if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.Astill BevenClater Dsomehow【提分秘籍】 对文章上下文逻辑关系的考查是完形填空设题的一个重要方面。逻辑关系主要包括转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、增补关系、对比关系等。这些逻辑关系,有些比较直接,有些则比较隐晦,这就要求考生在正确理解句意的同时,把握语篇、句子之间的逻辑关系,作出正确的选择。逻辑联系词是指能表明各个句群或段落之间内在联系的词语。常见的逻辑关系有表示结构层次的语篇标志词,如firstly,secondly,third
14、ly,finally等;有表示因果关系的词语,如because,for,so,therefore,hence,as a result,so that等;有表示递进关系的词语,如in addition,furthermore,moreover,even,besides,whats more等;有表示时间关系的词语,如before,after,so far等;有表示并列关系的词语,如and,or,whether.or.等;有表示转折或让步关系的词语,如but,yet,though,while,however,nevertheless,despite,in spite of等。根据这些逻辑联系词,就
15、可以迅速弄清上下文的关系,理清文章的脉络层次,从而作出正确的选择。善用逻辑联系词法可以轻松解决逻辑理解题。一、考查对转折关系的理解一个语篇一定是围绕某个话题进行的,同一话题就会有一些相关联的词语共同出现。如一篇谈学校生活的文章,有可能共同出现的单词有:teacher,classmate,student,classroom,library,laboratory,computer,score,maths,physics,study,desk,chair,holiday等,这种词汇共同出现的倾向性,就叫同现。二、考查对先后关系的理解有时文中会连续出现几个动作或事件,作者根据其发生的先后顺序依次进行描
16、述,而命题者可能会就此设置考点,考查考生对这种先后关系的理解。英语中表示先后关系的词主要有first,second,third,then,finally,to begin with,first of all,in the first place,last,next,above all,last but not the least,first and most important,later,at last,eventually等。对先后关系的考查经常出现下列题型:1要求考生根据空格前后的语意关系,选择合适的表示先后关系的词或短语。2提供表示先后关系的词或短语,还提供前一个分句,要求考生推断后一
17、个分句的意思。3提供表示先后关系的词或短语,还提供后一个分句,要求考生推断前一个分句的意思。这类题型不是直接考查表示先后关系的词或短语的用法,而是考查先后关系前后的语境变化,即要求考生根据文中表示先后关系的词或短语来判断句子的语境信息。三、考查对因果关系的理解与转折关系、先后关系、并列关系等相比,因果关系要稍微复杂一些,对因果关系的理解需要一定的逻辑推理。英语中表示因果关系的词或短语很多。表示原因的有for this reason,due to,thanks to,because,because of,as,since,owing to,now that等;表示结果的有and(因此,结果),a
18、s a result,thus,hence,so,therefore,accordingly,consequently,as consequence等。对转折关系的考查经常出现下列题型:1提供表示因果关系的词或短语,还提供前一个分句,要求考生推断后一个分句的意思。2提供表示因果关系的词或短语,还提供后一个分句,要求考生推断前一个分句的意思。这类题型不是直接考查表示因果关系的词或短语的用法,而是考查因果关系前后的语境变化,即要求考生根据文中表示因果关系的词或短语来判断句子的语境信息。四、考查对并列关系的理解并列关系指的是前后两个分句的意思之间层次是平行的或对比的,不分轻重,语气一致。英语中表示并
19、列关系的词有and,besides(而且), not only.but(also),meanwhile,moreover,not.but,neither,nor,neither.nor.,as well as,both.and,or,either.or(不是就是)等。这些词连接的并列句,在意义上主要对前一句作补充或引申。需要注意的是,从广义的角度说,递进关系也是一种并列关系。因为递进关系也表示前后两个分句的平行的意思,其语气是一致的,只不过后面分句的意思比前面分句的意思更进一层,或是由轻到重,或是由小到大,或是由浅入深,或是由易至难。英语中表示递进关系的词有whats more,in addi
20、tion,and,besides,also,furthermore,too,moreover,as well as,additionally,again等。对并列关系的考查经常出现下列题型:1要求考生根据空格前后的语意关系,选择合适的表示并列关系的词或短语。2提供表示并列关系的词或短语,还提供前一个分句,要求考生推断后一个分句的意思。3提供表示并列关系的词或短语,还提供后一个分句,要求考生推断前一个分句的意思。这类题型不是直接考查表示并列关系的词或短语的用法,而是考查并列关系前后的语境变化,即要求考生根据文中表示并列关系的词或短语来判断句子的语境信息。五、考查对让步关系的理解在英语中,前一个分
21、句里先让一步,承认所说的事实,然后一转,在后一个分句里指出正意,这种关系就叫让步。在让步关系的复句里,光看前一个分句就可以断定后一个分句必定转折。英语中表示让步关系的连词有although,though(虽然,尽管),as,even if,even though(即使),whether.or.(不论/不管还是),while(尽管),no matterwh词或wh词ever等;插入语有after all,admittedly(无可否认,必须承认的是),whatever may happen等;表让步关系的介词及介词短语有despite(尽管),in spite of,regardless of(
22、不顾,不管),with,for all(尽管)等。对让步关系的考查经常出现以下题型:1提供表示让步关系的词或短语,还提供前一个分句,要求考生推断后一个分句的意思。2提供表示让步关系的词或短语,还提供后一个分句,要求考生推断前一个分句的意思。这类题型不是直接考查表示让步关系的词或短语的用法,而是考查让步关系前后的语境变化,即要求考生根据文中表示让步关系的词或短语来判断句子的语境信息。【举一反三】1、I happened to be one of people on the way to work that morning.I went from subway line to subway lin
