2013—2014学年第一学期八年级英语学科 英语完形填空策略探究
完形填空是老师比较重视,学生很畏惧的题型,甚至于要放弃的题型。本讲将从完形填空解题技巧与策略方面分九个板块来逐一剖析。
一、完形填空的定义。
从中英概念的界定中体会什么是“完形填空”。
(一)Cloze test:

中考完形填空的设空有规律可循。首句一般不设空,给学生提供足够的背景提示。每小题的四个选项一般都属于同一词类,语义范畴相同,所以四个选项往往从语法或句法方面都能成立,干扰性很强。
六、完形填空的考点层次
中考完形填空的考点分为三个层次。
句子层面的考点是指那些________________便可选出答案的题目;(比例较少---容易题)
句群层次的考点是指那些________________才能选出正确答案的题目,即根据上文给出的线索推断后面的空应填什么,根据后面出现的线索,回过去填前面的空。(比例较多---中档题)
