押湖南卷第36-45题 知识运用之完型填空
【题型概述】
完形填空是中考英语中一种要求高、综合性强的语言测试题。主要以阅读为形式，上下文为线索，理解能力、词汇知识、语法知识、习惯用法以及分析判断能力为解题基础，是一种较高层次的阅读理解题。因此，考生必须具备扎实的英语基础，掌握正确的解题思路和有效的解题技巧，才能取得较好成绩。
湖南中考完形填空通常为一篇150—200词的短文，文中留出10个空白，要求考生从每题所给的3个选项中选出答案，使短文意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。从语篇选材来看，题材多样、内容广泛，但都贴近考生的生活实际，具有趣味性、教育性、思想性。从语篇体裁来看，多以记叙文为主，部分题中会出现两种体裁结合的情况，如夹叙夹议。从语篇内容来看，涉及社会热点事件或问题讨论、情感话题、名人轶事、故事、家庭亲友等话题。从命题设计来看，有词汇分析题、逻辑分析题、常用句式和固定搭配题等。
【阅读策略】
厘清解题思路，正确有效地运用自身英语基础知识、阅读理解和逻辑判断等能力解题，是提升考生完形填空解题成效的关键途径，解题思路大致分为4步。
第一步，重视语篇首句和尾句的含义。信息缺失是完形填空题最主要的特点，考生在解题时常常因为没能从整体上把握文章大意而无从下手，或者因理解偏差导致严重失分。通过观察可以发现，在完形填空语篇中，首尾句子中基本上不会安排填空，且首尾句一般是文章的中心句，考生对其进行认真解读，便可以大概了解语篇的内容与主旨，便于后续更快、更准确地解题。
第二步，跳过空格，快速浏览全文，把握文章大意。部分考生在解题时，只是凭借对句子层面信息的分析来填空，忽略了对语篇层面信息的把控，因而很容易出现失分的情况。因此，考生在解题时要学会跳过空格进行阅读，在通读全文后，对整篇文章有大致的了解，掌握文章的体裁、背景、内容、结构以及情节发展的前因后果等相关信息，为之后准确解题奠定基础。
第三步，综合考虑，认真分析，选出正确答案。考生在初步了解文章大意的基础上，
再结合备选项细读全文，结合上下文内容，注意从上下文的语法结构、词语搭配及从选项中寻找解题的提示，以词、句的意义为先，再从分析句子结构入手，根据短文的意思、语法规则、词语固定搭配等进行综合考虑，对备选项逐一进行分析、比较和筛选，排除干扰项，然后初步选出答案。对于存疑部分，可暂且空置，不能因为某个空格未能确定答案而纠结，耽误解题时间，影响整场考试的时间分配。
第四步，复读全文，梳理关系，敲定最终答案。在解题后，复读文章，核查是否存在逻辑、时态等方面的问题，以提升答案正确率。在此过程中，也可以通过对上下文线索的再次梳理，解决之前解题时空置的个别存疑题目。
总之，在解题时要做到思路清晰，先易后难，要瞻前顾后。

完形填空题以语篇信息为基础，以中心脉络为主线，测试考生在语篇中对英语基础知识的灵活运用能力，以及阅读、思维和判断等能力。
技巧一：充分利用首句信息答题
“完形填空”的首句均不设空，而是尽可能多地给考生提供一些必要的信息，因而，读懂首句可以帮助考生建立正确的思维导向，避免走弯路而误入歧途。首句是了解全文的窗口，通过首句往往能确定文章的体裁、背景、写作意图甚至中心思想。
【典例】Oscar is a black bear and he likes going shopping. One day, Oscar 1 the shopping with his mother. When they got to the 2 , Oscar was very 3 .
1. A. did B. stopped C. needed
2. A. school B. hospital C. supermarket
3. A. sorry B. happy C. sad
【分析】此文首句“Oscar is a black bear and he likes going shopping.”暗示本文是一篇记叙文，记叙Oscar和他妈妈去超市购物的经历。由于记叙文一般按照事情发生发展的顺序展开，并会涉及到时间、地点、人物、过程、结果等因素，把握住这一特点后对考生确定正确答案很有帮助。
1题考查动词的使用，正确答案是A。首句暗示“主人喜欢购物”，而此句正是陈述“主人和妈妈一起去购物”，所以应使用动词“did”。do the shopping也是固定短语，表示“购物”。
2题考查名词的使用，正确答案是C。前一句“主人和妈妈一起去购物”暗示了答案，购
物自然应去“超市（supermarket）”。
3题考查形容词的使用，正确答案是B。由首句可知“主人喜欢购物”，到了超市主人自然应该“高兴，”因而使用形容词“happy”符合情景。
技巧二 巧用上下文信息答题
完形填空必须通篇理解，从整体角度考虑，结合上下文信息才能判断出最佳答案。利用上下文语境确定答案的题目所占比例呈越来越多的趋势。而上下文信息可以出现在同一句、前后句、前后段中，或者出现在文章的开头或结尾部分，因而答题时要瞻前顾后，结合首尾。
【典例1】Mary lived on the side of a hill. One winter there was a big flood (水灾) and a lot of houses down below Mary’s were washed away, but his 1 was still all right.
Mary took in one of her families that had 2 everything in the flood and asked them to live in her house. …
1. A. field B. school C. house
2. A. paid B. got C. lost
【分析】短文中的Mary 是一个孤儿，被一位好心的母亲收养，并受到这个家庭孩子们的欢迎。20年后，已成为母亲的Mary也以同样的爱心收留了一个在洪水中失去了家园的家庭。第1题考查具体语境中名词的用方法，解题信息在前一句“a lot of houses down below Mary’s were washed away,”，由此可知“别人家的房子被冲走”，而but这一转折词暗示玛丽家的“房子”安然无恙，因而正确答案是C项。第2题考查具体语境中动词的用法。解题信息也在上文。根据前一句信息可知：许多房屋被洪水冲走了。既然房屋被冲走，自然可以推断：人们就“失去”了一切东西。表示“丢失；失去”应选用动词“lose”的过去式“lost”，所以正确答案为C项。
技巧三 利用语法知识、词语搭配、固定句型答题
完形填空以语境考查为主，但不可避免的是，也有部分题目考查语法知识、固定搭配和固定句型，同学们一定要利用平时所学的知识，考虑单词（词组）的固定搭配，动词的及物和不及物，并利用句子结构、句式特点等知识全面衡量所有选项，排除干扰确定最佳答案。
【典例】…but we were relaxed when we were lying on the beach. We 1 some photos there. What a busy weekend I had!
10. A. got B. brought C. took
【分析】此题考查具体语境中动词的用法，正确答案是C。本段文字介绍了周末在海边放松的情景，根据常理看空格处应为“拍照、照相”之意，而表示“照相”时应使用固定短语take photos，答案显而易见。
技巧四 根据文化背景常识答题
完形填空的文章内容往往与文化生活、史地知识、生活科技等相关，有些内容是我们已经掌握的生活常识。因而答题时要充分调动相关知识帮助我们分析、推断，最终确定答案。另外，中外文化之间有一些差异，解题时不能总是用中国人看问题的角度来看待其它国家发生的事情，只有这样，才能正确理解其中的文化差异，作出正确的判断和选择。
【典例1】There are many kinds of animals in the world. Elephants are the 1 animals that live on land. Only some kinds of whales (鲸鱼) are bigger than elephants, but they live in the 2 .
1. A. biggest B. smallest C. smaller
2. A. river B. lake C. sea
【分析】第1题考查形容词的用法，其解题信息就是常识性知识。众所周知：大象是陆地上最大的动物，因而答案是A项，即应选“biggest”。第2题考查名词用法，解题也必须结合常识性知识。众所周知，鲸鱼生活在大海里，因而答案是C，即应选“sea”。
技巧五 把握文章脉络综合推理判断
完形填空侧重考查根据上下文语境理解文意的能力，有些题目应从语篇层次去考虑，只有把握了文章的脉络，才能进行综合推理判断，最终得出最佳答案。
文章的逻辑关系包括并列、原因、结果、让步、转折、时间顺序、目的、条件、选择等，依靠不同的连词来表达，如and，but，so，however，first of all，then，finally，for example，or等，它们在文章中起着“篇章纽带”的作用，可以作为做完型填空题的路标。
【典例1】My youngest cousin likes Chinese Beijing Opera very much, but he can’t sing 6 .
6. A. badly B. easily C. well
【分析】此题考查具体语境中副词的使用，正确答案是C。根据前面的转折词but之前的意义“我最小的弟弟很喜欢中国的京剧”可以推断，喜欢但唱得不好，因而6题答案是C（well）。

【题型概述】
完形填空是中考英语中一种要求高、综合性强的语言测试题。主要以阅读为形式，上下文为线索，理解能力、词汇知识、语法知识、习惯用法以及分析判断能力为解题基础，是一种较高层次的阅读理解题。因此，考生必须具备扎实的英语基础，掌握正确的解题思路和有效的解题技巧，才能取得较好成绩。
湖南中考完形填空通常为一篇150—200词的短文，文中留出10个空白，要求考生从每题所给的3个选项中选出答案，使短文意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。从语篇选材来看，题材多样、内容广泛，但都贴近考生的生活实际，具有趣味性、教育性、思想性。从语篇体裁来看，多以记叙文为主，部分题中会出现两种体裁结合的情况，如夹叙夹议。从语篇内容来看，涉及社会热点事件或问题讨论、情感话题、名人轶事、故事、家庭亲友等话题。从命题设计来看，有词汇分析题、逻辑分析题、常用句式和固定搭配题等。
【阅读策略】
厘清解题思路，正确有效地运用自身英语基础知识、阅读理解和逻辑判断等能力解题，是提升考生完形填空解题成效的关键途径，解题思路大致分为4步。
第一步，重视语篇首句和尾句的含义。信息缺失是完形填空题最主要的特点，考生在解题时常常因为没能从整体上把握文章大意而无从下手，或者因理解偏差导致严重失分。通过观察可以发现，在完形填空语篇中，首尾句子中基本上不会安排填空，且首尾句一般是文章的中心句，考生对其进行认真解读，便可以大概了解语篇的内容与主旨，便于后续更快、更准确地解题。
第二步，跳过空格，快速浏览全文，把握文章大意。部分考生在解题时，只是凭借对句子层面信息的分析来填空，忽略了对语篇层面信息的把控，因而很容易出现失分的情况。因此，考生在解题时要学会跳过空格进行阅读，在通读全文后，对整篇文章有大致的了解，掌握文章的体裁、背景、内容、结构以及情节发展的前因后果等相关信息，为之后准确解题奠定基础。
第三步，综合考虑，认真分析，选出正确答案。考生在初步了解文章大意的基础上，
再结合备选项细读全文，结合上下文内容，注意从上下文的语法结构、词语搭配及从选项中寻找解题的提示，以词、句的意义为先，再从分析句子结构入手，根据短文的意思、语法规则、词语固定搭配等进行综合考虑，对备选项逐一进行分析、比较和筛选，排除干扰项，然后初步选出答案。对于存疑部分，可暂且空置，不能因为某个空格未能确定答案而纠结，耽误解题时间，影响整场考试的时间分配。
第四步，复读全文，梳理关系，敲定最终答案。在解题后，复读文章，核查是否存在逻辑、时态等方面的问题，以提升答案正确率。在此过程中，也可以通过对上下文线索的再次梳理，解决之前解题时空置的个别存疑题目。
总之，在解题时要做到思路清晰，先易后难，要瞻前顾后。

完形填空题以语篇信息为基础，以中心脉络为主线，测试考生在语篇中对英语基础知识的灵活运用能力，以及阅读、思维和判断等能力。
技巧一：充分利用首句信息答题
“完形填空”的首句均不设空，而是尽可能多地给考生提供一些必要的信息，因而，读懂首句可以帮助考生建立正确的思维导向，避免走弯路而误入歧途。首句是了解全文的窗口，通过首句往往能确定文章的体裁、背景、写作意图甚至中心思想。
【典例】Oscar is a black bear and he likes going shopping. One day, Oscar 1 the shopping with his mother. When they got to the 2 , Oscar was very 3 .
1. A. did B. stopped C. needed
2. A. school B. hospital C. supermarket
3. A. sorry B. happy C. sad
【分析】此文首句“Oscar is a black bear and he likes going shopping.”暗示本文是一篇记叙文，记叙Oscar和他妈妈去超市购物的经历。由于记叙文一般按照事情发生发展的顺序展开，并会涉及到时间、地点、人物、过程、结果等因素，把握住这一特点后对考生确定正确答案很有帮助。
1题考查动词的使用，正确答案是A。首句暗示“主人喜欢购物”，而此句正是陈述“主人和妈妈一起去购物”，所以应使用动词“did”。do the shopping也是固定短语，表示“购物”。
2题考查名词的使用，正确答案是C。前一句“主人和妈妈一起去购物”暗示了答案，购物自然应去“超市（supermarket）”。
3题考查形容词的使用，正确答案是B。由首句可知“主人喜欢购物”，到了超市主人自然应该“高兴，”因而使用形容词“happy”符合情景。
技巧二 巧用上下文信息答题
完形填空必须通篇理解，从整体角度考虑，结合上下文信息才能判断出最佳答案。利用上下文语境确定答案的题目所占比例呈越来越多的趋势。而上下文信息可以出现在同一
句、前后句、前后段中，或者出现在文章的开头或结尾部分，因而答题时要瞻前顾后，结合首尾。
【典例1】Mary lived on the side of a hill. One winter there was a big flood (水灾) and a lot of houses down below Mary’s were washed away, but his 1 was still all right.
Mary took in one of her families that had 2 everything in the flood and asked them to live in her house. …
1. A. field B. school C. house
2. A. paid B. got C. lost
【分析】短文中的Mary 是一个孤儿，被一位好心的母亲收养，并受到这个家庭孩子们的欢迎。20年后，已成为母亲的Mary也以同样的爱心收留了一个在洪水中失去了家园的家庭。第1题考查具体语境中名词的用方法，解题信息在前一句“a lot of houses down below Mary’s were washed away,”，由此可知“别人家的房子被冲走”，而but这一转折词暗示玛丽家的“房子”安然无恙，因而正确答案是C项。第2题考查具体语境中动词的用法。解题信息也在上文。根据前一句信息可知：许多房屋被洪水冲走了。既然房屋被冲走，自然可以推断：人们就“失去”了一切东西。表示“丢失；失去”应选用动词“lose”的过去式“lost”，所以正确答案为C项。
技巧三 利用语法知识、词语搭配、固定句型答题
完形填空以语境考查为主，但不可避免的是，也有部分题目考查语法知识、固定搭配和固定句型，同学们一定要利用平时所学的知识，考虑单词（词组）的固定搭配，动词的及物和不及物，并利用句子结构、句式特点等知识全面衡量所有选项，排除干扰确定最佳答案。
【典例】…but we were relaxed when we were lying on the beach. We 1 some photos there. What a busy weekend I had!
10. A. got B. brought C. took
【分析】此题考查具体语境中动词的用法，正确答案是C。本段文字介绍了周末在海边放松的情景，根据常理看空格处应为“拍照、照相”之意，而表示“照相”时应使用固定短语take photos，答案显而易见。
技巧四 根据文化背景常识答题
完形填空的文章内容往往与文化生活、史地知识、生活科技等相关，有些内容是我们已经掌握的生活常识。因而答题时要充分调动相关知识帮助我们分析、推断，最终确定答
案。另外，中外文化之间有一些差异，解题时不能总是用中国人看问题的角度来看待其它国家发生的事情，只有这样，才能正确理解其中的文化差异，作出正确的判断和选择。
【典例1】There are many kinds of animals in the world. Elephants are the 1 animals that live on land. Only some kinds of whales (鲸鱼) are bigger than elephants, but they live in the 2 .
1. A. biggest B. smallest C. smaller
2. A. river B. lake C. sea
【分析】第1题考查形容词的用法，其解题信息就是常识性知识。众所周知：大象是陆地上最大的动物，因而答案是A项，即应选“biggest”。第2题考查名词用法，解题也必须结合常识性知识。众所周知，鲸鱼生活在大海里，因而答案是C，即应选“sea”。
技巧五 把握文章脉络综合推理判断
完形填空侧重考查根据上下文语境理解文意的能力，有些题目应从语篇层次去考虑，只有把握了文章的脉络，才能进行综合推理判断，最终得出最佳答案。
文章的逻辑关系包括并列、原因、结果、让步、转折、时间顺序、目的、条件、选择等，依靠不同的连词来表达，如and，but，so，however，first of all，then，finally，for example，or等，它们在文章中起着“篇章纽带”的作用，可以作为做完型填空题的路标。
【典例1】My youngest cousin likes Chinese Beijing Opera very much, but he can’t sing 6 .
6. A. badly B. easily C. well
【分析】此题考查具体语境中副词的使用，正确答案是C。根据前面的转折词but之前的意义“我最小的弟弟很喜欢中国的京剧”可以推断，喜欢但唱得不好，因而6题答案是C（well）。
Passage A
