【考点透视】中考完形填空
完形填空题实际上是恢复原貌式的阅读理解题,各种短文结构严谨,段落清楚,而且首句一般不挖空,便于学生依据首句提示进行整体理解。解答完形填空题要求学生具备快速阅读的各种能力和技巧,如视读、跳读、查读、猜词等。
侧重基础知识,考查语言知识的掌握能力
完形填空题以文入手,结合文章内容考查基础语言知识,主要是考查学生词语搭配,近义词辩异,正确辨析句子结构,掌握语法规则的能力。
【例1】
His friend ______ the engine(发动机) and the plane began to move.
A. began B. carried C. moved D. started
此题主要考查学生辨析四个动词的用法。从句子分析可看出B、C明显不对,他的朋友不可能“搬运、移动”发动机。此题实际上是考查学生辨析began和started的用法,这两个动词作“开始”解是同义词,但只有start可表示“发动、开动”的意思。D是正确答案。
【例2】
He and saw a noisy square (广场) not far from here.
A. looked for B. looked after C. looked at D. looked around
此题主要辨析由look构成的四个短语,A、B、C三个选项中looked后的词均为介词,而介词后无宾语,所以是错的。around是副词,所以D为正确答案。
【例3】
Mr Green ______ his children that Father Christmas is a very kind–hearted man.
A. asks B. talks C. tells D. says
辨析四个意义相似的动词。Ask意为“问”,其后的宾语从句应该有whether或if。talks是不及物动词。say后跟某事,不跟表示“人”的宾语。tell的句式是否tell somebody something,所以C是正确答案。
【例4】
John sent for a doctor because his wife was ill. He called the doctor and made sure they _____ neat at five.
A. should B. shall C. would D. will
此题考查情态动词以及时态。分析此句中可看出,要用过去时,所以B、D可排除。Make sure后是宾语从句,宾语从句的动作meet没发生,要用过去将来时,所以要选C。
上下对照,考查学生捕捉关键词的能力
完形填空题设计时,有时单看一句是得不出正确答案的,需要阅读下句、甚至若干句后才有“茅赛顿开”之感。上下对照,即在上文或下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。学生在答题中要有边读边在大脑中储存上下信息的能力,捕捉关键词。
【例1】
First they wash their ______ hands in a bowl of water—they only eat with right hands.
A. dirty B. right C. left D. big
此题四个形容词填入空格语法都正确,但阅读下句可发现right一词与选项B一词相对照,根据句意应该选B。
【例2】
I really do make a living by _____ ,and a good one ,too. I can laugh like a king or like a school bay.
A. laughing B. writing C. speaking D. working
此题下文第二句中的laugh与正确答案A相对应,而且laugh是该篇完形填空的关键词,所以A为正确答案。
【例3】
Mr Baker loved planting _____ . The week before last, he bought a few trees home..
A. flowers B. grass C. vegetables D. trees
此题下文说明了Mr Baker买了几棵树回家;上下对照,可看出是“种树”,trees和trees上下对应,所以D是正确答案。在解题中,往往断章取义,总想急于求成,就句论句,就题论题,“一步到位”。学生未通读全文就边读边填,无法形成连贯的思路,“见木不见林,达不到上下对照,导致出错。实际上学生在解题中应满怀信心,全神贯注,集中目光,越过空格,注重把握文章的整体内容,注意关键词。开始阅读可能会有模糊的感觉,类此“钻出洞”之感,但越往下读,文意会逐渐显露,读完全文心里住往会有“豁然开朗”的感觉。
设置语境,考查分析推理能力
完形填空题中,有时答题无上下对照的关键词作参考,而是考查分析前后语境去推理出正确答案。在这种试题中,四个选项填入句中语法、句子结构都正确,但分析前后语境,只有一个正确答案。
【例1】
So one day when a friend came to his house and offered to take him for a ride in his own small plane, Mr. Lee was very ______.
A. excited B. grateful C. worried D. glad
从此句看,无法作出正确的选择,四个形容词都可表示Mr. Lee的心情。但阅读下文逐步可看到”I am really afraid that there might be some danger.”这一句,这说明Mr. Lee害怕坐飞机,C为正确答案。
【例2】
It s a beautiful place. I was always very _____ there.
A. busy B .interested C. healthy D. happy
此题四个选项都是形容词,都可作主语“I”的表语。如要选择正确答案,要分析语境。此句前面提供了一个语境,即“这是一个美丽的地方”,言外之意是旅游的好去处,所以去那儿会开心的,因此要选happy。
【例3】
The father wolf got food for the mother. The young wolf _____ the children. They were a nice, happy family!
A. shouted at B. looked into C. laughed at D. played with
此题四个选项是四个动词短语,四个选项放入句中语法都正确,但前后语境分析只有D正确。前后分析,可看出wolf家庭是幸福的大家庭,年轻的wolf应常常带children玩耍,而不应该对孩子“大喊大叫”、“询问调查”和“嘲笑挖苦”。因此要选D。
结合生活,考查学生利用常识解题的能力
完形填空题中,有时命题者在完形填空题中考查学生的生活常识,看看学生是否能善于观察生活,积累生活常识,能否利用常识去做出恰当的选择。这类题的设计,四个选项放入句中语法、句子结构都正确,而且不一定需要上下联系,而是依据常识解答。
【例1】
When someone asks me what business I am in ,my face feels _____.
A. warm B. cool C. hot D. cold
该篇完形填空题的短文,描写一个在夜总会为歌舞助兴提供笑声的人。当人问他从事什么工作时,他总难以启齿,他脸部总有一种“感觉”。按常识,人感到害羞,不好意思等,脸就“发热、发烧、发烫”,或“脸红”,所以C是正确答案。其它答案的形容词都不适合这种脸部的感觉。
【例2】
One afternoon just before Christmas an old man was walking through the city center. The shops were all filled with good things and crowded with _____ shoppers.
A. angry B. cheerful C. sad D. surprised
圣诞节前夕,商店物品丰富,购物者为节日选购商品,按常识这些shoppers应带着节日的喜悦心情,应选cheerful。
【例3】
Children in the U.S. will _____ their parents’ home when they grow up.
A. leave B. reach C. love D. hate
人们常说美国的年轻人独立性强,不依靠父母生活。当孩子长大后,他们通常离开家,自找工作,这是大家都知道的美国人的生活方式,是常识。该题A为正确答案。
关注连词,考查对行文逻辑、句子关联的理解能力
从近几年中考英语完形填空题的分析来看,命题者有时就有关连词进
行挖空,以此来考查学生通过阅读能否理解句与句之间的关联关系,是否了解行文逻辑的要求,能否掌握因果、转折、并列、条件、让步等连词的用法。
【例1】
They are served in bowls which everyone shares(共享), ______ each person has their own bowl.
A. because B. though C. since D. until
此篇完形填空谈到泰国饮食文化。前句意为“泰国人在共用的碗中就餐”,而后句意为“他们每人都有自己的碗”。前后分析可看出,后句是前句的转折,所以B为正确答案。
【例2】
Parents now spend more time in the office, _____ they don’t have much time to stay with their children.
A .because B. if C. but D. so
该题考查了四个连词,确定哪一个是正确答案,要分析句与句之间的关系。从前后分析来看,因父母把很多的时间花在办公室,所以他们与孩子相处的时间就少了,此句是因果关系,D为正确答案。
【例3】
The shops are bigger in London than in Moscow, _____ it’s very dear to enjoy yourself in London.
A. Then B. So C. Or D. But
前后句子分析,它们并非是时间先后,并非因果关系,并非两者选择。伦敦商店大而豪华,但是呆在伦敦花费是很大的,前后应该是转折关系,D是正确答案。

在完形填空中,为使学生更易于理解文章内容,首句不设空.首句往往是主题句,也有主题句放在文中和文后的.把握主题句,就容易把握文章的中心.
(二)实例分析
1. 考查英语固定搭配,习惯用语的运用.此时,考生不需对句意有太多的理解,一眼就能锁定答案.如:
She 38__ the radio and sang songs while she was driving.
38. A. turned on B. turned over C. turned off D. turned down
根据这句的句意:她一边开车一边打开收音机(跟着)唱歌,很容易就能选出turn on(打开),故答案为C.又如:
He 43 (killed three people) at Atlanta courthouse on March 11. The police were 44 him.
A. waiting for B. thinking of C. looking at D. searching for
结合前后两句意义,他既然杀了三个人,那说明警察一定是在搜捕他,所以用searching for就符合题意,故选D.
2. 考查对文段语境的理解能力.考生必须通过语境作出判断,一般要看懂一两句话作情景铺垫.例如:
His coughing stopped my thinking. What was left to say How could I say 53 to the person who taught me everything
53. A. goodbye B. hello C. yes D. sorry
如果仅从短语搭配上看,这四个选项都可以与say … to sb. 构成短语,这就要求考生结合这篇文章的意思和上下文逻辑关系来判断选A项.整篇文章都在叙述他对哥哥的依赖之情,他舍不得哥哥离开他,所以他怎么能跟哥哥说出"再见"这个词.又如:
The next morning I 54 (woke up), looked at my alarm clock, and realized he had left 55 ago. We never even said goodbye.
55. A. minutes B. hours C. days D. weeks
文章开头哥哥就说了他明天离开,到第二天早上我醒来,意识到哥哥走了,这期间只能用小时计算,所以B项最符合语境需要.
3.考查对文章内容进行逻辑分析,推理判断的能力.要求考生能理解上下文的内在关联和连贯意义.例如:
It was almost 9:00p.m. when Mia Janson left her office to go home. It was 36 . She started her car and she 37(drove) down the dark road that led to her house in the country. She 38 (turned on)__ the radio and sang songs while she was driving. The heater wasn't working, …
36. A. raining B. cool C. snowing D. late
单从前一句不易判断正确选项,但是通过分析后一句,暖气机不能工作了,推理出那天的天气是下雪的,故选C项.又如:
The latest attraction is a big 51 tunnel(隧道) you can through. All around you ,you will see fish swimming –sometimes even over your head.
A. metal B. wood C. glass D. stone
根据文章信息可知,最新的景点是一个大的玻璃隧道,因为后面一句说在你的周围,你能看见鱼儿在游泳,而其它三个选项我们无法看到周围的东西的,故选C项.
