完型填空的解题技巧
知识总结归纳:
完型填空以故事性较强的记叙文,说明文甚至议论文为载体,以词义考查为主线,强调词汇在句子或篇章中各种语义性的应用,考查学生综合运用能力——词汇运用,词义辨析,语境推断,阅读理解能力,上下文逻辑分析等。近几年的英语高考中的完型填空题基本很少考查单纯的语法内容,而是测试学生词汇在特定语境中的理解,词汇的用法,习惯短语,句型以及上下文逻辑的把握。同时还要注意英美国家的风俗习惯和文化背景。下面将分项介绍完型填空的解题技巧。
(一)词义辨析突破:要求学生在掌握短文中心,明确上下文关系的前提下,能够区分词义在不同语境中的区别,程度的深浅,词义的外延以及感情色彩的不同。平时的词汇学习,要注意准确,全方位的掌握单词的词义。例题分析:
1. Music has meaning for everyone. It is enjoyed by the old and the young men and women. It can make people happy and sad. In our modern world, radios and television ——— us with a constant flows of music, giving us enjoyment. Either in a music lesson or at a concert, music means different things to different people. Music belongs to the whole world.
A. give B. surprise C. offer D. supply
分析:这一段主要说音乐影响着所有男女老幼,它能给人们带来快乐或悲伤。Give的用法是give sb. sth .后面不需要介词with; surprise词义本身不符合本句的需要;offer的用法与give一样。
2. The news ——— twenty minutes later. The gunman had stopped a car for a ride, and then pushed out the driver. He was possibly heading for the Southern State Parkway in a white Ford. License Plate number LJR 1939. The voice of the announcer continued…
A. continued B. lasted C. spread D. arrived
分析:上文提到Todd听到了抢劫银行的消息。此段接上文描写了Todd听到消息的后续内容。
(二)上下文的逻辑关系:要求学生在作题时一定紧扣文章的情节,使答案能符合上下文的情景,保持上下文意思的通顺。例题分析:
1. Sometimes, when you need rain, you don’t get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t want it. Take a baseball game for example. A sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game, forcing the players and the 20,000 persons watching the game to run for_____.
A. cover B. umbrella C. building D. home
分析:作者以棒球比赛为例说明了下雨对人们生活的影响。
2. Traveling west, you set your clock ___; traveling east, you set it ahead.
A. behind B. forward C. back D. ahead
分析:这是一个时差方面的常识,与下文的ahead对应;向西旅行,应把表往回拨。
(三)学会利用前后文的复现词找答案,有时某一个空的答案在全文之后的某处根据句子意思再次出现,正好提供了此处的答案。词汇复现的方式主要有:原词复现;近义词复现;反义词复现,同源词复现等。例题分析:
1. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn’t ——— your memory; it only tightens it.
A. loosen B. weaken C. decrease D. reduce
分析:前后两句互为解释,一个是肯定;一个是否定。为反义词复现。
2. One day he told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and __ as much land area as he liked , he would give him the area of land he had covered.
A. remove B. cover C. sow D. get
分析:国王答应骑手可以得到他骑马能跑到的地方。与前面说的让骑手尽可能多得跑到他能跑到的地方。
