试题调研高考英语完形填空篇命题分析与应试策略
命题分析与应试策略 完形填空是高考英语试卷中客观性试题的主要组成部分,也是考生觉得难度较 大、得分率较低的一种综合性题型。它全面考查考生的语法运用能力、阅读理解能 力、逻辑分析能力及判断能力。完形填空是在一篇短文中人为地挖去若干单词和短 语,要求考生通过阅读全文,掌握文章大意,并运用所学知识在限定时间内从所给的 选项中选出使文章的意思通顺、结构完整、逻辑合理的最佳选项。 命题分析 一、完形填空的命题特点 2006年各地高考英语试卷的完形填空题基本遵循了突出语篇,强调应用,注重实际的设题思路。试题特点鲜明———考查考生在阅读理解的基础上对词汇知识的掌握情况,并检验考生在语篇中灵活运用语言知识的能力。 研究近几年的完形填空,可以看出有以下特点: 1 选材特点 (1)体裁以记叙文为主,说明文和议论文为辅。短文有明确的主题(如:2006年全国卷II的完形填空讲述的是我离家上大学,信件帮大忙),全文围绕这个主题展开,内容完整,结构严谨,层次分明,逻辑性强。材料难度与高三教材相当。 表一2005、2006年高考完形填空的体裁与题材统计表 序 号 试卷名称 体裁 题材 05 06 05 06 1 全国卷I 记叙文 夹叙夹议 饭店吃饭被误认为通缉犯 海水中饮酒,打破常规 2 全国卷II 记叙文 记叙文 饭店吃饭被误认为通缉犯 离家上大学,信件帮大忙 3 北京 记叙文 夹叙夹议 母子间无私的爱,互买心爱之物 学会坦然接受,使我受益匪浅 4 天津 记叙文 记叙文 划船遇涨潮,幸被大风吹到岸边 海地之行,对儿子触动很 大 5 重庆 记叙文 夹叙夹议 开车遇到不速客,养蜂人一举两得 顽强意志使小女孩恢复健康,重返校园 6 辽宁 记叙文 记叙文 南极探险失望而归, 舍身救同伴精神可嘉 打工生涯使我与主人家关系密切 7 江苏 记叙文 记叙文 丈夫遭遇不幸,世人给予鼓励 小小的错误可以让人陷入严重的困窘之中 8 浙江 记叙文 议论文 咖啡馆遇游戏迷,发人深思 不满妻子迟迟未到,愤然离去,引出耐心等候是一种美德 9 湖北 说明文 夹叙夹议 战地记者的工作 激励的话语激人奋进,多年来难以忘怀 10 湖南 记叙文 记叙文 搬家到新环境,感受大自然 帮助他人,赢得尊重与快乐 (2)从题材方面来看,选材新颖、时尚,将知识、文化、教育融为一体,符合中学生 的阅读兴趣。题材广泛,反映了现代科学带来的新现象和新事物,反映了现代英语运 用的特点,考生读起来熟悉、亲切、自然。这样的材料具备现实生活真实性的特点,更 能考查考生的语言综合运用的能力。 2设空特点 设空密度在10-15个单词之间,首句一般不设空,被称为题眼。首句常常开篇明义,点出文章的主题或提供重要的背景信息。 3 强调语境,侧重辨析 语法不再是考查的重点,语境能力*成为主要的考查对象。所给的四个选项往往在语法方面都能成立,这就要求考生根据对语篇的整体理解来理顺思路,同时注意上下文的内在联系,瞻前顾后,通过语境做出选择。考点主要集中在词语搭配、惯用法、句法以及语境理解等方面。 4考查以实词为主,虚词为辅 这和完形填空重视语境有关。在通常情况下,只有实词才能较好地突出词汇的语境化。其中,实词(动词、名词、形容词和副词等)的词义辨析是重点考查内容。 表二 2005、2006年高考完形填空的考点设置统计表 序 号 试卷名称 动词 名词 形容词 副词 介词 连词 代词 合计 05 06 05 06 05 06 05 06 05 06 05 06 05 06 20 1 全国卷I 9 6 6 6 3 3 1 1 0 4 0 0 0 0 20 2 全国卷II 9 7 6 1 3 6 1 3 0 0 1 1 0 2 3 北京 9 6 4 4 3 4 3 3 0 1 0 0 0 1 4 天津 9 7 2 4 3 4 3 3 1 1 1 0 1 1 5 重庆 9 11 4 1 4 4 2 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 6 辽宁 9 7 2 5 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 3 1 0 7 江苏 5 7 5 6 5 2 4 1 0 1 1 1 0 2 8 浙江 6 6 3 6 4 4 2 2 1 1 4 1 0 0 9 湖北 7 9 5 4 1 4 3 1 1 1 3 1 0 0 10 湖南 8 8 4 4 1 4 4 2 1 1 2 1 0 0 从表格中我们可以清晰地看到,对于虚词的考查相当少,所以我们要重点掌握实词的含义与用法。 二、完形填空的命题趋势 1 阅读难度越来越大 (1)词汇量逐年增加,现在每篇文章的词数一般在300词左右。生词量有增无减,影响了阅读的速度,使考生出现理解偏差或理解困难,从而降低了答题的正确率。 (2)长句增多,句式灵活,结构复杂。在句子上突出了对行文逻辑及理解能力的考查,在选材上主要表现为长句、复合句增多,句子结构复杂化(如:定语从句、状语从句、插入语等),句式多样化(如:陈述句、祈使句、省略句、疑问句、感叹句等),极大地增加了阅读难度,限制了考生的阅读速度。 2考查的词汇越来越丰富 (1)由考查考生熟悉的词汇转向考查所有词汇 考查的词汇的范围在不断扩大,要求掌握的词汇均有在高考中出现的可能。单词的复现率很低。所以考生要扩大自己的词汇量,尤其要注意掌握一些一词多义类的词汇。如:fiction 除指小说外,还可以表示虚构。 (2)由考查功能性词汇转向考查语意性词汇 原来在试卷中多要求考生填写冠词、介词等功能词,这种考法现在已经很少出现了,但在语境中考查词义辨析的题目越来越多。 (3)由同义异形向同形异义转化 原来在试卷中多出现考查同义异形的词汇,但从2006年的各地高考试卷来看,这种考法均已见不到了,而是向考查同形异义的词汇的方向转化。 3单一理解向整篇理解发展 理解趋向复合化,语篇层次的设问和语篇的语意辨析越来越多,单凭空格前后的内容或其所在句子来判断选项已经显然不够,需要根据上下文的意思来判断,有时甚至要联系整段或者整篇的内容才能做出正确选择。 应试策略 一、能力培养 具体来说,完形填空对考生提出了以下几个方面的要求: 1有扎实的英语语法知识和相当丰富的词汇量 高考英语试卷中的完形填空试题并不直接考查语法知识,但是,解答试题的前提是读懂文章,而读懂文章就必须具有扎实的语法知识。如果考生不理解句子的结构及其要表达的意思,就无法选择符合文章内容的答案。完形填空不直接考查语法知识,而是通过检测考生的理解能力间接地进行考查。考生的词汇量越丰富,语法知识越扎实,阅读速度就越快,理解也会更全面和深刻。 典例1 The obvious explanation is that I could not admit I had seen the title 54__ admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk. (06年江苏卷) 54 A. by B. besides C. through D. without 解析D 通过对句子的分析可以看出这是一个含有三个从句的句子。首先是that I could not admit I had seen the title这个表语从句,其次是I had seen the title这个宾语从句,第三个是that I had been looking at the things on his desk这个宾语从句。弄清楚了句子结构,就能理解句意明显的解释就是(如果)我不承认看了桌子上的东西,就不能 承认我看到了题目。故本题答案为D。 2快速通览全文,理解文章主旨要义 从某种意义上来说,完形填空题是为阅读理解服务的,它要求考生具有快速阅读文章尤其是跳读的能力,要有整体观,通过快速浏览全文掌握主旨要义。考生对文章内容理解得越全面,那么他理解得就越深刻;考生的英语语感越强,做题的正确率就越高,而这种能力的培养是通过平时的大量阅读科学训练出来的。 3把握篇章结构,找准主题 考生只有把握文章结构,了解各部分之间的关系,才能加深对文章的整体理解。换句话说,考生应对全文有一个清晰的思路,明白文章各部分是为了表达同一个主题,这样在略读时就更容易把握设空句子的真正含义,答题时就会得心应手了。 典例2 The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can 36__ from a different kind of poverty — of the spirit. 37__, one Western country alone now sees 14,000 attempted suicides(自杀)every year by children under 15, and one child 38__ five needs psychiatric(心理) advice.(06年广东卷) 36. A. come B. learn C. suffer D. survive 37. A. As usual B For instance C. In fact D. In other words 38. A. by B. in C. to D. under 解析36.C, 37.B, 38.B首句说的是第三世界儿童的状况;第二句话作者笔锋一转,开始说富裕国家儿童的状况,由此我们可知要说明的是世界儿童的状况。 4根据线索捕捉相关信息,进行推理判断和分析归纳 考生应具有情景推理判断、常识推理判断、逆向推理判断及比较推理判断等方面的能力。这些能力的发挥,有助于考生抓住文章的主题思想,加深对文章深层含义的理解,从而更容易完成完形的任务,恢复文章的原貌。 典例3 Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 17__. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 18___ for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were 19___ over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned(咧嘴笑), “pretty hard.” (06年天津卷) 17. A. rough B. dangerous C. troublesome D. violent 18. A. little B. much C. fast D. slow 19. A. moving B. running C. climbing D. looking 解析 17.A, 18.B 19. C 从下文he turned to me and grinned(咧嘴笑)及pretty hard可知这次旅行是很艰难的,故第17题应该选rough(口头语,意为艰难的,难受的)。第18 题选much,构成be too much for sb…意为非某人能力所能及。第19题可根据语境爬到山顶推知此处应选climb,它与后面的mountains搭配,意为爬山。 二、解题方法与高分策略 1浏览全文,抓准主旨 有的考生总是急于求成,认为通读全文会浪费时间,故边读边选,结果就句论句,无法形成连贯的思路,理解偏离文章的中心,欲速则不达。考生应学会浏览全文。在此过程中,考生可不看选项,跳读全文,把握文章的整体结构,注意能体现文章大意的关键词句,尤其要注意文章首句,它往往是文章的题眼 和透视文章全貌的窗口。 典例4 Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one. 解析 通过该文章第一段的内容,我们可以对全文进行比较准确的定位:本文是记叙文,由于家人不能帮助自己找工作,作者决定自己找一份工作,此篇正是叙述作者初次找工作的经历。 2细读全文,透析文意 (1)注意内在联系 断章取义,就题论题,忽略上下文的信息提示是考生常犯的错误。考生在解题时应学会在第一遍浏览全文时,快速储存上下文信息,在做题时充分利用此类信息,找准目标。 (2)克服思维定式 有些考生看到一些选项似乎和文意相符,便不假思索地去做题。如果对特定的语境或句子结构不作深入理解的话,很容易导致思维定式错误的产生。 典例5 Once, she was wondering how to complete a 48__ set in ancient China. 48. A. description B. painting C. scene D. talk 解析 C 有的考生一看选项就直接选了A,认为作者在考虑如何完成对古代中国的一次描述。事实上,该题答案为C。全句意思是:有一次,她正不知怎样完成一个设定在古代中国的场面。scene场面,而description不能与后面的分词短语搭配。 (3)重逻辑,挖文意 有些考生做完题后自我感觉不错,但最终结果却不尽如人意,原因在于他们仅仅理解了文章的表层含义,而忽略了深层含义。 (4)注意英汉差异 出题者深知考生在英语学习过程中的弱点,故往往从母语的角度设置干扰项来增加试题难度,以此来考查考生的基本功和灵活运用语言的能力。 典例6 “They not only make it difficult to sleep at night, but they are 30__ damage to our houses and shops of historical interests, ” said John Norris, one of the protesters. 30. A.. doing B. raising C. putting D. producing 解析A 这句话的意思是说:那些重型卡车不但使人们夜晚难以入睡,而且还对我们的具有历史意义的房屋和商店造成破坏。对……造成破坏在英语中有一固定搭配 do damage to…。许多考生误选了producing,这显然是受汉语思维的影响。 3 检查验证,理清逻辑 做完一篇完形填空后,考生应把空白处补全,然后再通读一遍,抓住文章的脉络、 主旨。如果还是似懂非懂,则需重新验证答案,在仔细推敲后最终确定答案。当然如果确实很难确定最佳选项的话,最好保留最初的选择,即尊重6第一感觉6。 三、注意平时的练习方法 有人说,得阅读者得天下,其实完形填空也不例外。要想在做完形填空时取得高分,需要扎实的语法功底和良好的阅读习惯。培养良好的阅读习惯应做到: 1要以意群、语意为单位读,不要逐词逐句地读; 2 要借助视觉扫读,不要手指唇读或无声心读; 3 要从头至尾,一气呵成,不要频繁回读; 4要直接理解原文,不要逐词逐句地心译; 5要利用上下文和构词法猜测生词,推测出句意,不要频繁查阅词典; 6逐步扩大视距,要纵式快速阅读,不要横式赏析细读。 对于完形填空,高三考生的训练量应保持在每周6篇文章,每次完成3篇,时间控制在每篇15分钟左右。另外,做题之后要注意总结,并辅以必要的语法书作查漏补缺之用。只要经过科学的训练,相信同学们会取得长足的进步。 专题突破 记叙文 一、记叙型完形填空的命题趋势 分析近几年全国及各省市的高考试题,我们不难看出高考完形填空的体裁以记叙文为主且呈以下发展趋势: 1首句完整,线索清晰 一般来说,完形填空首句中会包含人物身份和事件发生的时间、地点等重要信息,并且不设空。 2叙述灵活,侧重语境 文章以叙述为主,人物间对话较少,绝大部分篇章都是作者在描述事件,较少加入自己的观点或评论。另外,记叙型完形填空中常会出现态度与观点的跳跃变换或语气上的差异,这就增加了情景的迷惑性和干扰性,从而突出了对语境的考查,实现了在理解上下文的基础上,通过语境来辨析词语并做出选择这一考查目的。 3考查以实词为主,虚词为辅 记叙型完形填空篇幅不长,行文始终紧扣中心话题,形成一个主题连续体。考查重点集中在动词、名词、形容词和副词等实词上。 二、应试技巧 1重视首句,开篇明义 从历年高考试题可以看出,完形填空首句一般不设空,而且它往往是整篇文章的 主旨句,这就为考生理解文章的内在联系提供了一个& 窗口&,所以考生应充分重视 首句的提示作用,利用它为解题找到一个突破口,并据此进行拓展思维。 典例1 On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront café on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in 36__air. Crowded. tempers(脾气) of both the tourists and waiters had 37__ to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment(环境)(06年全国卷I) 36. A. fresh B. cool C. still D. thin 37. A. managed B. expected C. attempted D. risen 解析36. C考查语境理解。由首句可知故事背景是一个炎炎夏日,所以给人的感觉应该是很热,因此就空气而言,用不流动的still比较恰当。37. D考查语境理解。前句从天气的状况给人以暗示:天气热,导致人情绪不好。因此游客与服务员的脾气上升符合当时的情形。 2通读全文,把握大意 在看选项之前要先把文章通读一遍,遇到不甚明白的地方先跳过去,接着往下读,全力以赴捕捉重要信息。 通读时,要重点把握文章中所叙述的人物、时间、地点和事件,同时对空格中要填入的词作试探性的猜测,为下一步选择答案做好准备。 3 利用语境,揣摩作者的心态 高考完形填空题逐渐朝着深层化和语境化的方向发展,因此考生要借助上下文乃至全文语境揣摩作者的心态。 典例2 It was a bright spring afternoon when Freda told me she wouldn’t need me any more. I had just finished my four-hour work — 36__ up and down the stairs of her three-storey home cleaning the floor and washing the dishes. She was 37__ jeans and a sweater, sitting at the table I had just 38__, a pile of papers spread around her. Her husband’s 39__ was going to be reduced by thirty percent, and they were trying to live as if it had 40__ happened. I felt sorry for her, but also felt a sense of 41__. (06年辽宁卷) 36. A. stepping B. coming C. jumping D. moving 37. A. hanging B. making C. wearing D. changing 38. A. cleaned B. washed C. swept D. brushed 39. A. duty B. money C. work D. pay 40. A. already B. seldom C. never D. yet 41. A. regret B. surprise C. fear D. loss 解析36. D 考查生活常识。作者在打扫房间时应该是5来回走动5的,所以用moving 37. A考查词语辨析。指当时Freda的穿着打扮。 38.A考查语境理解。结合上一句的… cleaning the floor…可推知A项正确。39.D考查逻辑推理。男主人的工资pay 即将减少30%,所以才决定辞退作者。 40.A 考查语境理解。从as if it had 40__ happened判断,这是一个与过去事实相反的假设,意思是说:尽管 Freda的丈夫的工资目前还未减少,但他们已经在尽力节省了,仿佛事情已经发生了。 41.D 考查语境理解。后文说我在Freda家工作了五年时间,与这个家的关系很好。故可以判断在不得不离开时,作者心里有一种失落感。 4理清线索,把握方向 记叙文一般按事件发展的顺序叙述(有时也用倒叙)。答题时,通过理清人物间的关系,把握人物各自所做的事情,从而找准作者的记叙方向,正确理解文章。 好题调研 Cloze 1 (06年湖南卷) I returned to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, after graduation. I had been there before my mother became a minister. Two weeks later, I told my mother I was bored. She said, “Here’re the car keys.

C 考查语境理解。从后句I jumped into the car and speeded off 可知我非常高兴,用 delighted。 2. A考查语境理解。上文提到我开车去买水果,所以当小男孩看到我 ,更确切地说是看到?我?的汽车,他跳了起来。 3. C 考查词语辨析及上下文语境。从上文小男孩的动作可知他非常渴望把香蕉和花生卖给作者,此处用 eager。 4. B考查生活常识。作为买主,在与小商贩打交道时,通常需要砍价。用bargain down讨价还价? 符合语境。 5. C 考查词语辨析及逻辑推理。双方讨价还价,卖方最后同意买方所出的价钱时,才可能成交,买方也才可能给他钱。 6. A考查语境理解。上句说我递给他一张500奈拉的纸币,但是前文告诉我们作者买他的香蕉和花生共需要200奈拉,所以小男孩应该找给作者零钱change。 7. D考查语境理解。根据% 他找不开我的钱,我安慰他,不让他着急以及后文的 smiled a row of perfect teeth可以判断小男孩很感激。 8. B考查固定搭配。句意为:我又与他不期而遇了,四个备选项中只有run into有此意义。 9.

D考查词语辨析。此处说的是男孩因家庭贫困无法接受教育,为了生计不得不在外卖水果,这种现象很普遍。前面it was hard to find pleasure in a place也有暗示。 12. B 考查词语辨析。从小男孩的答语可知他说话结结巴巴。broken不流利的符 合题意。 13. D考查生活常识。如果一个人在做某件事情前先四下看一下,说明他紧张不安,恐怕被他人看到。答案为D 14. A 考查介词搭配。男孩向车里伸手,其目的就是拿作者给他的钱。for为了得到。 15. C考查词语辨析。一千奈拉对于每年收入仅仅五万奈拉的家庭来说意味着很多。本题所给四个选项中,只有 make有获得,挣得之意。 16. A考查行文逻辑。but引出的句子表示转折,由此我们可以推测作者认为security officers所说的可能是对的。答案为A。 17. C考查语境理解。上文提到小男孩说没钱买书,我资助了他1000奈拉。现在我想知道他是否真的用这些钱买书了。 18. D考查词语辨析。短暂的沉默之后,作者以为小男孩又来要钱,却不好意思开口。用realized意识到符合题意。 19. B考查行文逻辑。作者掏出500奈拉给小男孩,而他却往后退,好像受到了伤害似的。 20. D考查词语辨析。小男孩受过作者的恩惠,想把水果和花生送给作者作为报 答。A项通常指不当面给,所以不能选。答案为D。 Cloze 2 (06年湖北卷) In the city of Fujisawa, Japan, lives a woman named Atsuko Saeki. When she was a teenager, she 1___ of going to the United States. Most of what she knew about American 2___ was from the textbooks she had read. “ I had a 3___ in mind: Daddy watching TV in the living room, Mummy 4___ cakes and their teenage daughter off to the cinema with her boyfriend.” Atsuko 5___ to attend college in California.

A考查语境理解。前面提到一颗炸弹在孤儿院里爆炸,第二段又说人们进行医疗求助7,由此可知这里是说有几个孩子受伤了。 2. B考查语境理解。后面提到医生和护士匆忙赶来,所以可以判断人们要求的是医疗救助,故用medical。 3. C考查逻辑推理。前文说人们向附近的美国军队寻求医疗帮助,后文又提到两个美国人的血型都不适合,由此句判断来的医生和护士都是美国人。 4.

They say it is 1___ for children to work at home in their free time. 2___, they argue that most teachers do not 3___ plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to 4___ tasks which they have already done at school. 1. A. unnecessary B. uninteresting C. unfortunate D. unimportant 2. A. nevertheless B. However C. Therefore D. Moreover 3. A. considerably B. favorably C. properly D. pleasantly 4. A. finish B. repeat C. attend D. accomplish 解析 分析本段我们可以看出,首句Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework.就是本段的主旨句。抓住了首句,我们就很容易解答后面的题目了。 1. A句意为:他们说没有必要让孩子们在业余时间做作业,这是对首句论点的 阐述。 2. D此题选用moreover进一步阐明人们对老师布置家庭作业的看法。 3. C人们认为很多老师对于学生的家庭作业的布置没有计划好,用properly正确地,适当地,与not连用,符合题意。 4. B根据句意,此处应选repeat表示重做(任务,作业等)。该句为下一段做铺垫,同时与首句相呼应。 3 理清文章的论点、论据和结论 议论型完形填空与记叙型完形填空相比,稍微难了一些。一般来说,记叙文是按时间的先后顺序进行描述的,我们只要把握事件发生和发展的过程,就能将文章脉络把握好。然而议论型完形填空就不那么简单了,如果我们不清楚文章的论点、论据和结论,就只能莽撞地答题了,其结果可想而知。所以理清文章的论点、论据和结论是做好议论型完形填空的关键。 典例2 When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 1___ wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad 2___ on what people are curious about. Curiosity is 3___ silly or wrong. 1. A. something B. nothing C. much D. none 2. A. keeps B. puts C. takes D. depends 3. A. always B. sometimes C. seldom D. never 解析1. B 2. D 3. B读完这一段我们可知这篇文章的中心论点是There is 1___ (nothing) wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad 2___ (depends) on what people are curious about。我们接着往下看,Curiosity is 3___ silly or wrong.是本段的主旨句,它同时又是本篇文章中心论点的分论点。 4三论 结合推出答案 一般来说,能说明论点主要内容的答案可以在论据中得到印证,且论点里的某些答案也可以与论据有机地结合起来,使论点和论据形成相辅相成的关系,从而使整篇文章结构清晰,主题鲜明。 如果我们所选的答案前后矛盾,那就说明我们对于文章的把握尚缺乏条理性和系统性。此时,我们需要回过头去,重新理顺文章,直到结构清晰为止,然后再依据自己对全文的把握及各部分的逻辑关系选出答案。 好题调研 Cloze 1 (06年浙江卷) One man was to meet his wife downtown and spend some time shopping with her.
