专题18 完形填空之记叙文
【题型解读】
选材内容源于真实生活，以人物思想和行为为中心，体现理性思维，人文情怀、参与社会的人文素养等正能量。；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；
考查内容：
1.试题以名词，动词，形容词和副词等信息词汇为考查重点，淡化对介词，连词，冠词等结构的考察，测试学生在具体情境中灵活运用所学知识的能力。
实词中偏重于对动词和名词的考查，同时对形容词、副词以及其他词类的考查。试题以情境意义选择为主，纯语法性选择近年已趋近于零。
2.降低对单词考查的要求，突出对文章整体内容理解能力的考查以及同义词与近义词的比较分辨。需要具备的学习素质和能力：词汇，语法，长难句分析。
【命题规律】
核心考点：逻辑推理，把考查的重点放在理解全文、通篇考虑、掌握大意、注重关联等方面。
题型和考查角度：
1.句内层次题：解题信息分布在本句内部，瞻前顾后，左顾右盼，边读边填。
2.句组层次题：解题信息分布在设空处前后的一组句子中，瞻前顾后寻找暗示。
3.语篇层次题：解题信息分布在语篇的某一处甚至全篇，需要综合推断。
【解题技巧】
（一）做题前
1、总体把握：通读完形填空的短文，跳过空格快速阅读，了解全篇的主要内容。切不可把宝贵的时间浪费在个别字句推敲上。
2、重视主题句：完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题，但短文的主题句，往往在每段文章的首句，有时也出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等，这是深入了解全文的“窗口”，甚至能以语句为立足点，从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。
3、语境联想：利用上下文的提示，用学过的知识和已有的生活经验，扫清部分词汇理解上的障碍。
（二）做题时：解题技巧
一般说来讲解以下三种解题技法：
1、词语搭配
①因搭配关系而产生的一般性词汇。
② 词序和意义皆以固定的复合词和动词短语。
③因词组而构成的常见的句式：
【注意】在搭配判断时：
①要区别外形相近而意义不同的搭配。
②要区别形不相似而意义相近的搭配。

157．专题18 完形填空之记叙文
【题型解读】
选材内容源于真实生活，以人物思想和行为为中心，体现理性思维，人文情怀、参与社会的人文素养等正能量。；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；
考查内容：
1.试题以名词，动词，形容词和副词等信息词汇为考查重点，淡化对介词，连词，冠词等结构的考察，测试学生在具体情境中灵活运用所学知识的能力。
实词中偏重于对动词和名词的考查，同时对形容词、副词以及其他词类的考查。试题以情境意义选择为主，纯语法性选择近年已趋近于零。
2.降低对单词考查的要求，突出对文章整体内容理解能力的考查以及同义词与近义词的比较分辨。需要具备的学习素质和能力：词汇，语法，长难句分析。
【命题规律】
核心考点：逻辑推理，把考查的重点放在理解全文、通篇考虑、掌握大意、注重关联等方面。
题型和考查角度：
1.句内层次题：解题信息分布在本句内部，瞻前顾后，左顾右盼，边读边填。
2.句组层次题：解题信息分布在设空处前后的一组句子中，瞻前顾后寻找暗示。
3.语篇层次题：解题信息分布在语篇的某一处甚至全篇，需要综合推断。
【解题技巧】
（一）做题前
1、总体把握：通读完形填空的短文，跳过空格快速阅读，了解全篇的主要内容。切不可把宝贵的时间浪费在个别字句推敲上。
2、重视主题句：完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题，但短文的主题句，往往在每段文章的首句，有时也出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等，这是深入了解全文的“窗口”，甚至能以语句为立足点，从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。
3、语境联想：利用上下文的提示，用学过的知识和已有的生活经验，扫清部分词汇理解上的障碍。
（二）做题时：解题技巧
一般说来讲解以下三种解题技法：
1、词语搭配
①因搭配关系而产生的一般性词汇。
② 词序和意义皆以固定的复合词和动词短语。
③因词组而构成的常见的句式：
【注意】在搭配判断时：
①要区别外形相近而意义不同的搭配。
②要区别形不相似而意义相近的搭配。

Jake’s homework was to come up with an idea for the “Great Ideas Fair” at his school. 31 he couldn’t think of a good idea, let alone a great one.
He lay in bed and started to think about a movie he saw in school. It was about Ben Franklin who lived 32 long time ago. Ben Franklin invented many important things and had many good ideas.
After thinking for a while, Jake was so tired that he fell asleep and began to dream. 33 his dream, Jake went down to his mailbox where he found a letter from Ben Franklin! Jake put the letter in his pocket. Then, he heard shouting. The shouting became louder and 34 still. It woke him up! The shouting was coming from his sister Susan.
“All my toys are boring! I want new 35 ! I want an airplane for my doll to fly. Please!” cried Susan.
“We can’t buy new toys whenever you want 36 ,” said Mom. “Toys are expensive. Play with the ones you already have.”
“I wish Susan would be quiet,” Jake thought. “I still need to come up with an idea like Ben Franklin. He experimented with lightning, and even 37 a lending library.” He thought again about Ben Franklin’s ideas. Suddenly, he knew 38 .
“I’ll start a library, just like Ben Franklin,” said Jake, “Only it will be a toy library. Kids can bring in their toys and trade them for different toys! It won’t cost 39 and it will be like having a new toy all the time.”
His mother said, “Jake, 40 ! You should enter the idea in the Great Ideas Fair. It’s sure to make everyone happy!”
That was exactly what Jake did.
