文体技法归纳
夹叙夹议完形填空所选的文章一般富于哲理性，往往可以从一件看似平淡的小事中悟出深刻的人生哲理，因此耐人寻味，可读性较强。
在结构上，作者首先叙述一件事情，然后就此事情引申出一个深刻的社会话题或就此事提出自己的观点；或者先提出一种观点或看法，然后就这一观点或看法用具体的事例加以说明，最后再进一步阐述或作出结论。
夹叙夹议文在语言上又具有议论文的特点：语言客观、准确、逻辑性强，且具有概括性。那么，我们在做夹叙夹议文类的完形填空题时，需要注意哪些方面呢？
1．重视文章首句
夹叙夹议文常常以文章的标题、首句或简短的第一段导入话题，然后以顺叙或倒叙等叙事的方式适当加以描写，通过巧妙安排，在文章最后概括主题。因此，在解答夹叙夹议文类的完形填空时，考生首先要读懂第一段，尤其是文章的第一句话，这样就可以迅速总结出全文的主旨大意。
2．理清文章结构
夹叙夹议文类的文章通常是先进行叙述，然后在段落的结尾或文章的末尾展开议论，提出故事所包含的哲理或总结自己的观点。做题时，考生要跟着作者的思路读全文，思维要有灵活性，要随着记叙与议论的转换，及时调整思维方式。只有理清了文章的结构，才能更容易地理解文章，作出正确的选择。
3．抓住文章线索
理解夹叙夹议类文章要抓住线索，注意情节的变化，以求综观上下文，达到整体理解文意，从而避免片面性和断章取义。找出叙述、议论部分相关的命题规律与特点，分清论点、论据的习惯表达方式，找准文章的论点、论据和结论句式，使叙述与议论浑然一体。
完形填空-----(B)
People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because
people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “ hello. ” After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to 1 the way I was doing things.
My 2 came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who 3 her books out of her locker. Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to 4 because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. No one had stopped to 5 her.
“OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”
My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man 6 by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a 7 . It was difficult to get started, and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every 8 from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it. And who could blame him
People aren’t used to making an 9 chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how 10 it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible. I 11 you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone’s day a little brighter. Together, we can really make society come 12 as a whole.
( ) 1. A. change B. explain C. learn D. show
( ) 2. A. trouble B. doubt C. wish D. opportunity
( ) 3. A. took B. dropped C. got D. pulled
( ) 4. A. come out B. stand by C. go back D. turn up
( ) 5. A. please B. greet C. help D. praise
( ) 6. A. sitting B. walking C. riding D. running
( ) 7. A. discussing B. lesson C. report D. conversation
( ) 8. A. joke B. response C. cry D. story
( ) 9. A. unchangeable B. unprepared C. unforgettable D. unfinished
( ) 10. A. desperately B. frequently C. simply D. widely
( ) 11. A. allow B. warm C. order D. advise
( ) 12. A. later B. straighter C. closer D. slower
文章大意：本文是记叙文。文章通过作者记叙自己在社区图书馆的经历，来劝告人们通过尝试与陌生人交流来增进彼此之间的关系。
1. C 考查动词。根据文章，作者在思考了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后，决定改变之前的行为，值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，会发现第三段的最后一词即为change符合前后对应原则。
2. D考察名词，一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的…出现了。可以
通过理解打出答案
3. B 考察动词。对应后文pick up,可知小女孩之前是将书掉落，选dropped
4. C 考察短语。根据文意，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方
5.答案C。考察动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help。
6.答案A。考察动词。后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作与男人的动作一致，故选sitting。
7.答案D。考察名词。第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversion。
8.答案B 考察名词。文章说我的新朋友的每…中都显示出怀疑的语气。首先joke，cry，和story文中均未提及，直接排除，选response。
9. B 考查形容词。文章说，人们对于一个陌生人并不习惯于进行…的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对于陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应该选择与困难相近的词，纵观备选项unprepared未准备好的，符合文章。
10. A 考察副词，文章说，无论和陌生交谈方式改变的需要无论是…，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文章理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这三个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately十分，非常地修饰这种需要的迫切程度
11. D 考查动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，答案容易得出。
12. C 对应第一段的apart, 此处应选择相对应的反义词，closer.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.
There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.
I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers’ directions.

Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an 15 child.

文体技法归纳
说明文是用说明的方式介绍人或事物、解释事理的一种文体。说明文体裁的完形填空的最显著的特点是：
1．开头点题
做说明文体裁的完形填空时，要明确说明的对象是什么，是具体的实物还是理论性概念。因此，明确说明的对象是掌握说明细节的前提。在近几年的说明文体裁的完形填空题中，作者一般在文章的首句直接点明要说明的对象。
2．结构清晰
把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明文的写作一般按时间顺序(先后顺序等)，空间顺序(从局部到整体，从上到下，从内到外等)，逻辑顺序(前因后果，先果后因，先主后次等)，认知顺序(由此及彼，由浅入深，由具体到抽象，由现象到本质等)。
在做说明文体裁的完形填空时，应当特别留意以下几点：
1．通过短文首尾句抓主旨
通读全文，看它是属于说明事物的说明文还是说明事理的说明文；是单纯说明类的说明文还是说明加叙述类的说明文。而尾句往往是文章的结论或点睛之笔，由此可知，抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是很必要的。
2．关注段落间的内在联系
由于说明文一般是针对某一个对象从不同的角度和侧面加以说明的，每一段都有侧重点，对这些内容要进行概括、总结，从而找出段落之间的联系，以便更深刻地理解文章的内容。
3．根据写作手法理解细节
说明文中有些细节就是写作手法的体现，而完形填空往往就是针对这些细节进行考查的。所以，考生要学会逆向推理，从正确理解写作手法入手来把握细节。

夹叙夹议完形填空所选的文章一般富于哲理性，往往可以从一件看似平淡的小事中悟出深刻的人生哲理，因此耐人寻味，可读性较强。
在结构上，作者首先叙述一件事情，然后就此事情引申出一个深刻的社会话题或就此事提出自己的观点；或者先提出一种观点或看法，然后就这一观点或看法用具体的事例加以说明，最后再进一步阐述或作出结论。
夹叙夹议文在语言上又具有议论文的特点：语言客观、准确、逻辑性强，且具有概括性。那么，我们在做夹叙夹议文类的完形填空题时，需要注意哪些方面呢？
1．重视文章首句
夹叙夹议文常常以文章的标题、首句或简短的第一段导入话题，然后以顺叙或倒叙等叙事的方式适当加以描写，通过巧妙安排，在文章最后概括主题。因此，在解答夹叙夹议文类的完形填空时，考生首先要读懂第一段，尤其是文章的第一句话，这样就可以迅速总结出全文的主旨大意。
2．理清文章结构
夹叙夹议文类的文章通常是先进行叙述，然后在段落的结尾或文章的末尾展开议论，提出故事所包含的哲理或总结自己的观点。做题时，考生要跟着作者的思路读全文，思维要有灵活性，要随着记叙与议论的转换，及时调整思维方式。只有理清了文章的结构，才能更容易地理解文章，作出正确的选择。
3．抓住文章线索
理解夹叙夹议类文章要抓住线索，注意情节的变化，以求综观上下文，达到整体理解文意，从而避免片面性和断章取义。找出叙述、议论部分相关的命题规律与特点，分清论点、论据的习惯表达方式，找准文章的论点、论据和结论句式，使叙述与议论浑然一体。
完形填空-----(B)
People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because
people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “ hello. ” After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to 1 the way I was doing things.
My 2 came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who 3 her books out of her locker. Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to 4 because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. No one had stopped to 5 her.
“OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”
My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man 6 by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a 7 . It was difficult to get started, and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every 8 from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it. And who could blame him
People aren’t used to making an 9 chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how 10 it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible. I 11 you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone’s day a little brighter. Together, we can really make society come 12 as a whole.
( ) 1. A. change B. explain C. learn D. show
( ) 2. A. trouble B. doubt C. wish D. opportunity
( ) 3. A. took B. dropped C. got D. pulled
( ) 4. A. come out B. stand by C. go back D. turn up
( ) 5. A. please B. greet C. help D. praise
( ) 6. A. sitting B. walking C. riding D. running
( ) 7. A. discussing B. lesson C. report D. conversation
( ) 8. A. joke B. response C. cry D. story
( ) 9. A. unchangeable B. unprepared C. unforgettable D. unfinished
( ) 10. A. desperately B. frequently C. simply D. widely
( ) 11. A. allow B. warm C. order D. advise
( ) 12. A. later B. straighter C. closer D. slower
文章大意：本文是记叙文。文章通过作者记叙自己在社区图书馆的经历，来劝告人们通过尝试与陌生人交流来增进彼此之间的关系。
1. C 考查动词。根据文章，作者在思考了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后，决定改变之前的行为，值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，会发现第三段的最后一词即为change符合前后对应原则。
2. D考察名词，一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的…出现了。可以
通过理解打出答案
3. B 考察动词。对应后文pick up,可知小女孩之前是将书掉落，选dropped
4. C 考察短语。根据文意，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方
5.答案C。考察动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help。
6.答案A。考察动词。后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作与男人的动作一致，故选sitting。
7.答案D。考察名词。第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversion。
8.答案B 考察名词。文章说我的新朋友的每…中都显示出怀疑的语气。首先joke，cry，和story文中均未提及，直接排除，选response。
9. B 考查形容词。文章说，人们对于一个陌生人并不习惯于进行…的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对于陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应该选择与困难相近的词，纵观备选项unprepared未准备好的，符合文章。
10. A 考察副词，文章说，无论和陌生交谈方式改变的需要无论是…，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文章理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这三个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately十分，非常地修饰这种需要的迫切程度
11. D 考查动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，答案容易得出。
12. C 对应第一段的apart, 此处应选择相对应的反义词，closer.

【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。“无家可归的人”不只在发展中国家存在，在德国这样的发达国家同样存在。本文讲述了Kurt Muller夫妇如何在德国为“无家可归的人”提高各种各样的帮助，及如何向公司及公众发起为“无家可归的人”进行捐赠活动的事迹。
1．A.result B．truth C．reason D．idea
解析 读文章第一段可知，无论何时我们听到“无家可归的人”，我们中的大部分人会想到发展中国家。但是事实是任何地方都有“无家可归的人”。四个选项只有B符合题意。
答案 B
2．A.traditional B．developing C．typical D．wealthy
解析 根据常识我们知道德国不属于发展中国家，故排除B，又因为traditional“传统的”和typical“典型的”跟“无家可归的人”没有关系，故选D，即像德国这样富裕的国家也有“无家可归的人”。
答案 D

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.
There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.
I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers’ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.
Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an 15 child.

文体技法归纳
说明文是用说明的方式介绍人或事物、解释事理的一种文体。说明文体裁的完形填空的最显著的特点是：
1．开头点题
做说明文体裁的完形填空时，要明确说明的对象是什么，是具体的实物还是理论性概念。因此，明确说明的对象是掌握说明细节的前提。在近几年的说明文体裁的完形填空题中，作者一般在文章的首句直接点明要说明的对象。
2．结构清晰
把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明文的写作一般按时间顺序(先后顺序等)，空间顺序(从局部到整体，从上到下，从内到外等)，逻辑顺序(前因后果，先果后因，先主后次等)，认知顺序(由此及彼，由浅入深，由具体到抽象，由现象到本质等)。
在做说明文体裁的完形填空时，应当特别留意以下几点：
1．通过短文首尾句抓主旨
通读全文，看它是属于说明事物的说明文还是说明事理的说明文；是单纯说明类的说明文还是说明加叙述类的说明文。而尾句往往是文章的结论或点睛之笔，由此可知，抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是很必要的。
2．关注段落间的内在联系
由于说明文一般是针对某一个对象从不同的角度和侧面加以说明的，每一段都有侧重点，对这些内容要进行概括、总结，从而找出段落之间的联系，以便更深刻地理解文章的内容。
3．根据写作手法理解细节
说明文中有些细节就是写作手法的体现，而完形填空往往就是针对这些细节进行考查的。所以，考生要学会逆向推理，从正确理解写作手法入手来把握细节。
