专题19 完形填空之说明文
【题型解读】
说明文是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。说明类完型填空题是难点。
说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度大。它旨在考查学生语法和词汇知识综合运用能力的典型题型。它结合了单项选择题和短文填空的优点，既考查词语搭配、近义词辨异、动词时态、句型结构、复合句的关联和习惯用法等，又考查了逻辑推理和事理推断能力。
【命题规律】
中考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。
【解题技巧】
1. 通读全文，了解大意
做题之前，必须先浏览全文，了解短文的大意，这是必不可少的一个步骤。通过短文所提供的信息，借助语感及相关知识的推断，可以从整体上把握短文的轮廓。
完形填空题不同于单项填空题，单项填空题所给的是一个或两个句子，根据根据或前后句子就可以判定所选的答案。而完形填空题所给的是一篇意思完整的短文，所选的答案设在整段或整篇之中。切勿为了省时而边看边填，否则，欲速则不达，许多地方看不下去，填空时或不解其意，或似懂非懂，举棋不定，这样不仅错误率高，而且费时不少。
2. 瞻前顾后，初选答案
在通读全文，了解大意的基础上，便可着手答题，初选习惯用法、固定搭配，并从上下文中找关键性启示，前后对照，根据语感等选出比较容易的答案。有些题目设计很巧，由下文暗示上文，很有可能开头的空格填入四个选项在语法上都成立，但正确选项要到文章末尾才能得到解答。反之亦然，文末的空格有可能在上文找到相关或有关联的答案。
3. 每空细读，分析斟酌
逐句精读，逐题分析选项，有少数空格需多方面的推敲分析，如词义分析，语法结构分析，上下文推理分析等，下面是从所给四个选项角度考虑的解题思路：
（1） 若考查冠词，则须依据短文空白后的单词的第一个因素，或所出现的后面名词的次序来确定a, an 或the， 或用冠词的惯用法来确定。
（2） 若是介词或副词（如 up，out， off， away等）可先从固定搭配入手；若不属于固定搭配，则根据句子结构及介（副）词的意义及用法进行仔细推敲选择。
（3） 若四个选项好似名词，则须从其所在的单复数形式、所有格形式等，根据文意进行名词辨析等。
（4） 如考查形容词或副词，则须从其所在句中的作用来确定什么词性，或者考查其比较级或最高级，以及它前面的修饰语等。
（5） 如果考查动词，要么考查其同义词辨析，要么考查某些固定搭配，或时态、语态以及非谓语动词形式等。
（6） 若选项是连接词，泽尔应根据句子结构和上下文的意思决定是选择连接代词还是连接副词。也可以从连词的一些惯用法或固定搭配等入手。如，not… until, as….. as, not so… as, 或用because 不用so，用but不用though等。
4. 复核全文，清除疏漏
所有的答案选出来以后，应再读全文，对所选的答案进行核实调整，经过第二步的逐句推敲之后，对短文内容的理解更为深刻，最初选择时有些难解或误解的问题这时就很容易判断，从而也就能得到更好的解决，并清除疏漏。这一步费时不多却很有必要。

【题型解读】
说明文是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。说明类完型填空题是难点。
说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度大。它旨在考查学生语法和词汇知识综合运用能力的典型题型。它结合了单项选择题和短文填空的优点，既考查词语搭配、近义词辨异、动词时态、句型结构、复合句的关联和习惯用法等，又考查了逻辑推理和事理推断能力。
【命题规律】
中考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。
【解题技巧】
1. 通读全文，了解大意
做题之前，必须先浏览全文，了解短文的大意，这是必不可少的一个步骤。通过短文所提供的信息，借助语感及相关知识的推断，可以从整体上把握短文的轮廓。
完形填空题不同于单项填空题，单项填空题所给的是一个或两个句子，根据根据或前后句子就可以判定所选的答案。而完形填空题所给的是一篇意思完整的短文，所选的答案设在整段或整篇之中。切勿为了省时而边看边填，否则，欲速则不达，许多地方看不下去，填空时或不解其意，或似懂非懂，举棋不定，这样不仅错误率高，而且费时不少。
2. 瞻前顾后，初选答案
在通读全文，了解大意的基础上，便可着手答题，初选习惯用法、固定搭配，并从上下文中找关键性启示，前后对照，根据语感等选出比较容易的答案。有些题目设计很巧，由下文暗示上文，很有可能开头的空格填入四个选项在语法上都成立，但正确选项要到文章末尾才能得到解答。反之亦然，文末的空格有可能在上文找到相关或有关联的答案。
3. 每空细读，分析斟酌
逐句精读，逐题分析选项，有少数空格需多方面的推敲分析，如词义分析，语法结构分析，上下文推理分析等，下面是从所给四个选项角度考虑的解题思路：
（1） 若考查冠词，则须依据短文空白后的单词的第一个因素，或所出现的后面名词的次序来确定a, an 或the， 或用冠词的惯用法来确定。
（2） 若是介词或副词（如 up，out， off， away等）可先从固定搭配入手；若不属于固定搭配，则根据句子结构及介（副）词的意义及用法进行仔细推敲选择。
（3） 若四个选项好似名词，则须从其所在的单复数形式、所有格形式等，根据文意进行名词辨析等。
（4） 如考查形容词或副词，则须从其所在句中的作用来确定什么词性，或者考查其比较级或最高级，以及它前面的修饰语等。
（5） 如果考查动词，要么考查其同义词辨析，要么考查某些固定搭配，或时态、语态以及非谓语动词形式等。
（6） 若选项是连接词，泽尔应根据句子结构和上下文的意思决定是选择连接代词还是连接副词。也可以从连词的一些惯用法或固定搭配等入手。如，not… until, as….. as, not so… as, 或用because 不用so，用but不用though等。
4. 复核全文，清除疏漏
所有的答案选出来以后，应再读全文，对所选的答案进行核实调整，经过第二步的逐句推敲之后，对短文内容的理解更为深刻，最初选择时有些难解或误解的问题这时就很容易判断，从而也就能得到更好的解决，并清除疏漏。这一步费时不多却很有必要。

Some old Chinese inventions have won wide popularity around the world. Recently, a British woman used an ancient Chinese invention to help her son 156 a math problem.
Dr. Mantri grew up in India. She was taught 157 to use an abacus(算盘) to solve math problems when she was young. After noticing that her son Dhruv had great difficulty with math, she started using the same ancient Chinese tool to help him after school.
“My son was in Grade 5 when I noticed he was 158 in math.” said Dr. Mantri, “I would ask him something very easy like ‘35-13 = ’, but he couldn’t work it out.”
“I never thought I would teach him to use such an old tool 159 I realized I could try the Chinese abacus. It is a useful 160 to help kids better understand numbers and basic calculations(计 算). Very soon I saw the results. After six days, Dhruv started to make progress 161 with the help of the abacus. He even performed with the abacus at a school meeting where some parents came to 162 advice on using it to help their kids.”
Known as the fifth invention of ancient China, Chinese abacus is also 163 as the earliest computer. It helped people solve many math problems in ancient China. 164 you remember the rules, you can easily use it. Sometimes, just move one bead(算珠), then 165 bead, and you will get the answer. What a magic tool!
So far, the Chinese abacus has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage of human beings(人类非物质文化遗产)for 10 years ever since 2013.
