【英语】2020届高考英语二轮专题复习冲刺文档（学案训练）：语篇部分专题三第1讲完形填空

专题三　完形填空 策略综述 第一步　通读全文，细读首句 对于完形填空，很多考生存在一个解题误区，即上来就做题。事实上，在不理解文章大意的前提下去做题，其结果会是不断修正，既浪费了时间又不能保证正确率。因此，考生首先要通读全文去掌握大意，而多数情况下细读首句又是了解主旨最有效的方式。‎ 第二步　边读边填，先易后难 完形填空中有一半的题目都是基础送分题，也就是我们上面提到的句内层次题。这些题目完全可以根据掌握的文章大意和内容梗概，再结合一些基础语法常识或凭借语感顺势得出答案。随着空缺越来越少，文意会越来越凸显，此时我们便可结合群信息，去解答句组层次题。‎ 第三步　复核验证，敲定答案 完形填空中总有两三道较难的题目，这类题目的解题信息不局限于某一句或某一句群，而是分散在某一段或某几段甚至是全篇中，这就是我们说的语篇层次题。此类试题要求考生理解全篇、理清脉络，明确作者的写作意图、思想情感，必须从全局出发去解答。因此，考生应在以上两步的基础上去复读全文，验证推敲，最终去确定所有答案。‎ 一、利用文章首句解题 完形填空的首句往往不设空，是一个完整的句子。通过细读首句，可以判断文章体裁，预测文章大意和主旨，对解题非常关键。‎ ‎[典例]　(2016·北京高考)It was a cold January in ‎1925 in Nome, Alaska. The town was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.‎ On the 20th of that month, Dr Welch __36__ a sick boy, Billy, and knew he had diphtheria, a deadly infectious (传染的) disease mainly affecting children. The children of Nome would be __37__ if it struck the town. Dr Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. __38__， the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage.‎ ‎36．A.examined B．warned C．interviewed D．cured ‎37．A.harmless B．helpless C．fearless D．careless ‎38．A.Moreover B．Therefore C．Otherwise D．However 解析　36.A　根据下文“knew he had diphtheria”可知，医生给小男孩做了检查。故选A。‎ ‎37．B　根据第一段内容可知，因为有大雪封城，很难得到药品，所以这种传染病如果在整个小镇爆发，很多小孩都会很无助。故选B。‎ ‎38．D　Welch大夫需要立即得到药品，而最近的药物供应地离这儿有一千多英里，前后两句话之间是转折关系，故答案为D项。moreover “此外，而且”；therefore “因此，所以”；otherwise “否则，不然”；however “然而，可是”。‎ ‎ 二、利用习惯搭配或固定结构解题 完形填空中经常会考查一些习惯搭配或固定结构，此类试题相当容易，考生平时注意积累总结是关键。‎ ‎[典例]　(2018·全国卷Ⅱ)He was unconscious and as I look at his face, something __52__ to me.‎ A．happened B．occurred C．applied D．appealed 解析　B　something occurs to sb.为固定搭配，意为“某人突然想起某事”。故答案选B。‎ 三、利用生活常识或文化背景解题 完形填空中往往渗透着诸如文化科学、历史地理、风俗人情等方面的知识，做题时利用这些知识，特别是注意中西方文化差异，巧妙地加以运用将会大大简化分析与判断过程，节省下宝贵的时间。‎ ‎[典例]　(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he 55.taught me: “The absolute most important __56__ that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 57.decisions. On every single move you have to __58__ a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and 59.evaluate the best move from among all your options.”‎ ‎56．A.fact B．step C．manner D．skill ‎58．A.analyze B．describe C．rebuild D．control 解析　56.D　58.A　这两道题均可利用生活常识和文化背景去解答。 根据生活常识可知，下象棋时学到最重要的应该是“技能”；下象棋时每走一步都必须“分析”局势。‎ 四、利用平行结构解题 平行结构是指结构相同或相似、意思密切相连、语气一致的句子或词组组成一串排列的语言现象(如由and, or等连接的短语或句子)。此种结构形式整齐匀称，内容联系紧密，利用它可以提高解题效率。‎ ‎[典例]　(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)“People have been __53__ there and standing there and taking 54.pictures of each other，” Ro says. “The town square was totally 55.full. ... ”‎ A．driving B．hiding C．camping D．sitting 解析　D　and用于连接平行结构，与空后standing对应的应该是sitting。故选D。‎ 五、利用情感态度解题 在做完形填空时，我们一定要在快速阅读文章的基础上，留意能够反映作者态度和感情色彩的重要词汇。因为这些词汇通常为我们做题的重要参考线索，可帮助我们快速确定某些题目的答案。‎ ‎[典例]　(2017·全国卷Ⅱ)Freddy was an average 44.student,_but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion (同情). He would 45.laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone's __46__.‎ A．misfortune B．disbelief C．dishonesty D．mistake 解析　A　根据空格前的saddest可知，只有不幸(misfortune)才令人伤心。故选A。‎ 六、利用语义复现解题 语义复现不仅是同一个词，同义词、反义词、近义词都可能成为这类题目的解题关键点，但是这些词可能隐藏得比较深。上下文之间可能互相暗示答案，但有时上下文相隔较远，因此要注意寻找。‎ ‎[典例]　(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)But that 45.changed when a system of hightech __46__ was introduced to reflect sunlight from neighboring peaks (山峰) into the valley below. Wednesday, residents (居民) of Rjukan 47.received their very first ray of winter sunshine：A row of reflective boards on a nearby mountainside were put to 48.use. The mirrors are controlled by a computer that 49.directs them to turn along with the sun ... ‎ A．computers B．telescopes C．mirrors D．cameras 解析　C　根据下文中的“The mirrors are controlled ...”可知此处应填mirrors(镜子)。‎ 七、利用逻辑关系解题 此种方法是通过分析空格前后文的逻辑关系来确定答案，主要应用于完形填空的两类题型：一是考查连词和起连词作用的短语；二是考查上下文的逻辑关系。无论是句内层次题还是句组层次题，利用逻辑关系去解答都是一种重要的方法。‎ ‎[典例1]　(2016·全国卷Ⅲ)We went 10∶1 and I was named most valuable player, __48__ I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller's 49.accident.‎ A．and B．then C．but D．thus 解析　C　空格前一句意为“我们以10∶1赢得了比赛，并且我被评为最有价值的球员”，空格的后一句意为“我经常做疯狂的梦——在梦中我总认为自己应该为Miller的车祸负责”。显然前后句为转折关系，故选C。‎ ‎[典例2]　(2017·全国卷Ⅰ)The following term, I 56.registered for an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 57.prohibited. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. __58__， if there had been any talking, it would have 59.caused us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 60.new way of communication it opens.‎ A．Lastly B．Thus C．Instead D．However 解析　C　根据上下文可知，作者很快意识到无声并非是不愉快的，相反(Instead)，如果有任何的谈话，会导致他们学习得更少。前后文为对比关系，故选C。‎ 八、利用语境暗示解题 上下文语境具体体现为：全文的中心主线和主题、作者的态度和评价、上下文的语篇衔接、句际和段际关系。无论是句内层次题还是句组层次题，我们常可通过上下文语境暗示，推导出正确答案。‎ ‎[典例]　(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. They 41.bring with them lots of waste. ... tons of rubbish ... The environmental challenges are __48__ ... ‎ A．new B．special C．significant D．necessary 解析　C　根据上文“乞力马扎罗山有很多游客，制造了很多垃圾”可知，这里面临的环境挑战是巨大的(significant)，故选C。‎ 第1讲　记叙文 记叙文是高考完形填空中出现频率最高的一类文体。该体裁以记人、叙事为主；多以人物思想和行为为中心；以时间或空间的变化为线索，按事件的发生、发展和结束来展开叙述；时态上多以一般过去时为主，其他时态为辅；大量使用动词；适当会有间接引语。‎ ‎1．抓住文章中心。中心思想是文章的灵魂和统帅，其他的写作要素都紧紧围绕这一中心进行。抓住中心有助于明确做题方向，提高针对性。‎ ‎ 2.明确叙述角度。通常记叙文有两大叙述角度：第一人称和第三人称。第一人称就是从“自我参与”的角度进行叙述，考生可从字里行间读出作者对人物、事件或景色的情感态度。第三人称就是从“旁观者”的角度客观地记人、叙事、状物。在做题时考生可采用“角色渗透法”，即假设自己就是文中的角色会有什么感受、做出怎样的选择等，这样有助于走进作者的思维，深入理解文章的含义。‎ ‎3．理清写作顺序。根据写作的需要作者往往采用顺叙、倒叙或插叙等方法进行叙述。理清这些线索有助于了解事情发展的来龙去脉，从而更迅速、准确地理解文意。‎ ‎4．明确写作要素。包括事情发生的时间(when)、地点(where)、事件的内容(what)、人物(who)、原因(why)等。弄清了这些要素也就基本上抓住了文章的主体，理解了整篇文章。‎ ‎5．洞悉写作目的。同学们要知道就事论事绝不是记叙文的最终目的，而最终目的是借助叙事来阐明一个道理，给人以启迪或教益。因此，只有在分析具体情节的基础上认真体会文字背后的东西，才能洞悉作者的写作目的，抓住文章的主题。‎ 真题导练 ‎(2019·全国卷Ⅱ)It's about 250 miles from the hills of westcentral Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota.
