完形填空说明文解题策略
名校优选完形填空专项通关练
【解题策略】
完形填空常考体裁为记叙文、说明文和夹叙夹议文。说明文类完形填空一般在首句提出说明的对象。常见的有人物介绍、地点介绍、节日、习俗介绍、实验报告等。说明文表诉严谨、内容客观真实、语言简练。说明文一般按照一定的顺序,如时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑关系等条理清晰的展开。
解题步骤
速读浏览大意:快速阅读全文,通过浏览全文,领会大意,了解文章体裁、背景、内容、结构层次、情节和写作风格等。
初填扣文意:先易后难,瞻前顾后,紧扣全文内容展开逻辑推理。注意从上下文中寻找线索,同时注意句法、词汇的意义、搭配等多角度综合考虑。
复读再核查:根据多角度衡量试填后,把全文再通读一遍,确保用词准确、语义连贯。所选答案填入空格处应当做到文章意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整、逻辑严谨、首尾呼应。
解题策略
1. 抓住首句: 说明文的首句一般就指出了说明对象,即“开篇点题”。指明了方向,对解答问题具有指导下作用。
2. 上下求索找线索:说明文类的文章上下文逻辑很严谨,在阅读时,对特定的语境应做深入的理解。根据上下文找出信息词是做好完形填空的关键。从近年高考真题看,高考完形越来越侧重对语篇的考查,信息的逻辑推理判断。单词的考查以实词为主,虚词为辅。侧重动词(短语)、名词、形容词的考查。词语在特定语境中所表达的隐含信息需借助上下文甚至全文语境的限定才能准确得出答案。
3. 文化背景、生活常识找线索:解题时,需调动文化背景知识和生活常识,同时还应当注意中西方文化的差异。
4. 语篇标志性逻辑词找线索:句子与句子之间,语篇之中经常给出表明逻辑关系的词语如,表示时间关系的before, so far, yet, now, later, from now/then on,等。
表示结构层次的firstly, secondly, thirdly, besides等。
表示因果关系的so, therefore, because, thus, since, as, owing to, due to等。
表示转折关系的but, however, while, on the other hand等。
表示并列关系的and, also, as well se等。
习惯用法和词语辨析:从近年高考真题看,词、词组的词语辨析试题比重呈加大的趋势。主要考查习惯用法、同义词、近义词等。

8.(2024·黑龙江哈尔滨·高三哈尔滨三中校考期末)
Years ago, I lived in the English midlands and would walk the same route along the local canal each evening. On winter mornings, I would see the 106 sight of bird flocks dancing across the landscape, a distant cacophony (刺耳的嘈杂声) 107 above the fields. They were jackdaws (寒鸦), the smallest member of the crow family.
Research led by Masters student Alex Dibnah asked: Why are jackdaws so loud when they 108 Then he began to work with a team. The team’s 109 was that the morning calls might be a jackdaw version of “ 110 ”. Each individual’s call might 111 as an “I’m in!” helping them coordinate (协调) their 112 .
To test this, the researchers artificially 113 call levels during the jackdaws’ morning cacophony using speakers at their sleeping sites. When extra calls were played, the jackdaws 114 earlier, showing they use calls as a check-in system.
Individual jackdaws 115 from leaving with the flock because they get more social information like where to find food, they can maximize their time spent finding food, and they’re less 116 being attacked. This sort of decision-making isn’t 117 to jackdaws — it’s been reported in other species as well.
So, the cacophony of jackdaws in the morning is a clever solution to 118 a large group. If you’re 119 by the noise, find comfort in the fact that the louder they get, the sooner they’ll leave you in 120 .
