中考英语完形填空解题技巧与专项练习

中考英语完形填空解题技巧与专项练习 ‎“完形填空是一种障碍性的测试题。在一定程度上考查考生的阅读能力、逻辑推理及分析归纳、综合判断能力。要求考生不仅要会运用自己学过的词汇和语法知识妥善地处理好每个单句，理解语义，还要处理好单句之间以及单句与全文之间的内在关系，选出适当的词填上，使文章完整与通顺。 要做好“完形填空”，不仅要具备一定的词法、句法和惯用法等语法知识，而且还要具备阅读理解能力、综合分析能力和运用语言知识的实践能力。‎ 一、 解题步骤 ‎　　1. 通览全文，了解大意 ‎　　答题时，应先越过空档，通读全文，理顺题意，找出信息词。这是做好完形填空题的关键。因为完形填空的特点是着眼于整体理解。我们如果把短文比作环环相扣的链条，那么由于空格的设置，"链条"从第二句起有些地方就脱节了。有些同学习惯于提笔就填或边读边填，急于求成，然而，欲速则不达，结果往往由于"只见树木不见森林"而事倍功半。因此我们应该依据首句给的启示，通过逻辑思维，借助短文中关键词所提供的信息，越过空档，尽快把全文读完，建立语言的整体感，帮助我们了解短文大意。‎ ‎　2. 综合考虑，先易后难 ‎　　通览全文后，认真观察选项，瞻前顾后，仔细推敲，逐项选定。经过通读全文，对短文有了整体印象。在此基础上，可以根据全文大意，展开逻辑思维，分析这一空格处在句中的地位，前后的关系和它所起的作用，确定最佳答案。遇到困难，暂放一边，先易后难，这是解题之道。当遇到难以判断的空档时，不妨先放一边，继续往下做。因为有些答案是必须通过下文的理解后才能作出断定的。有时，前后信息之间还有相互提示作用。因此，当我们遇到难题时，不能久久停留于此，这样会浪费不必要的时间。‎ ‎　　3. 复读检验，消除疏漏 ‎　　完成所有空档后，还要再次通读全文，看看这时的短文行文是否流畅，意义是否连贯，逻辑关系是否合理。复查时，可从语法入手，检查一下句子的时态、主谓一致、代词的性、数、格以及词语的搭配等是否正确。凡遇疑点，必须根据文章的中心思想，从意义、语法的角度来仔细权衡，加以改正，弥补疏漏。‎ ‎　　三、 实例点拨 ‎　　请根据下面短文内容，在短文后面的四个选项中选择一个能填入空白处的最佳答案。‎ ‎　　Every year students in many countries learn English. Some of these students are children, ‎ ‎__1__ students are young people. Why do all these people want to learn__2__? It is not__3__to answer this question. Many boys and girls learn English at school. It is one of their __4__. Many people learn English because it is__5__in their work.

A. help B. helping　 C. helps D. helpful ‎ ‎　　答题分三步：‎ ‎　　第一步： 通览全文 ‎　　通过通览全文，便知本文讲述许多人学习英语。学习英语的人年龄不同，目的各异。‎ ‎　　第二步： 逐项填空 ‎　　本着先易后难的原则，先根据上下文和自己的语感，推测部分空格的可能答案。然后，再结合选项逐一敲定。‎ ‎　　1. 选B。some...other(s)...意思是"一些……另一些(泛指)"； some...the other(s)...意思是"一些……另一些(特指)"。由语境可知，在学英语的学生中，除一部分是孩子外，剩余的是青年人(特指)。‎ ‎2. 选A。根据上下文可知是English。‎ ‎3. 选B。由文章内容来看，人们学习英语的原因多种多样，因此回答为什么那么多人学习英语这个问题并不容易。‎ ‎　　4. 选D。由常识可知，English是学生学习的科目(subject)之一。‎ ‎　　5. 选B。根据前后文意可知许多人学习英语，那是因为English在他们的工作中很有用 ‎(useful)。‎ ‎　　6. 选A。本题属于介词用法辨析。介词for在此可表示目的、原因。‎ ‎　　7. 选A。in English是习惯搭配。‎ ‎　　8. 选D。"读报"英语习惯说read　newspapers。‎ ‎　　9. 选B。根据语境及句子结构，有些人学习英语或想出国(go to a country)或想在这些国家工作(work in a country)。‎ ‎　　10. 选D。末句点题，"英语在我们生活中是很有帮助的(helpful)"。‎ ‎　　第三步： 复读检验 ‎　　将所有答案代入空格后，重新将短文复读一遍，如果语句通顺，语意清楚，便结束本题，转做其它试题。‎ ‎　　最后须提醒大家一点，做好完形填空题并非一日之功。我们应从平日学习中做起，多积累，勤学苦练，方可成功！Have a greater success in the future！‎ ‎（1）‎ 根据文意，补全所缺单词，词首字母已给出。 ‎ Overhead bridges can be seen in many parts of Singapore，in the places where traffic is very h _____  and crossing the road is not safe． ‎ These bridges can help people cross roads s _____ ．Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings（斑马线）． ‎ They are more efficient（效率高的），t _____  less convenient（方便的）because people have to climb up a lot of steps．This is inconvenient to the old．When people u _____  an overhead bridge，they do not hold up（阻挡） traffic．But when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing，traffic is held up．This is w _____  the government（政府）has built many overhead bridges to help people and k _____  traffic moving at the same time． ‎ The government of Singapore has s _____  a lot of money building these bridges．For their own safety，people should be advised to use them instead of rushing across the road．Old people may find it a little d _____  climbing up and down the steps，but it is still much safer than walking across the road w _____  all the moving traffic． ‎ Overhead bridges are very useful．People， both old and young，should always use them． This will stop accidents from h _____  ． ‎ Key:‎ ‎1．heavy 2．safely（作状语应用副词形式） 3．though（此处表让步关系，意为“虽然”） ‎ ‎4．use 5．why（此处表达“这就是……的原因） 6．keep ‎ ‎7．spent（spend time／money in／on doing sth．意为“花时间／金钱做某事”，其中in常省略） ‎ ‎8．difficult 9．with 10．happening（stop．．．from doing）意为“阻止／防止……去做某事”）‎ ‎（2）‎ The population problem may be the      1        one of the world today． The world's population is growing     2       ． Two thousand years ago, there were only 250 million people     3       the earth． Four hundred years ago, the number was     4       500 million． But at the beginning of the     5      century, the world's population was about 1,700 million．In 1970, this number was 3,600 million． In 1990, the number was five billion． A     6       report says that the world population will     7       six billion by the end of the 20th century． This is just ten     8       after it     9      five billion． People say that by the year 2010,     1 0      may be seven billion． ‎ ‎1．A．great B．greater C．greatest D．greating ‎2．A．faster and faster B．fast and fast C．fastest and fastest D．faster and fast ‎3．A．in B．on C．at D．for ‎4．A．nearly B．more C．almost D．over ‎5．A．twenty B．twelve C．twentieth D．twelfth ‎6．A．USA B．UN C．PRC D．PLA ‎7．A．past B．pass C．passed D．passes ‎8．A．weeks B．months C．seasons D．years ‎9．A．get B．gets C．reached D．reach ‎10．A．this B．its C．one D．it KEY: 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．B 7．B 8．D 9．C 10．D ‎（3）‎ Fire can help people in many ways.
