文档简介

第二讲句群精读,活用方法,稳抓保分题目
通过第一步的通览文章,明白了文章大意、内容梗概后,接下来便是精读文章,做题的过程。完形填空80%以上的题目都是基础题目,也就是上文提到的句内、句组层次题。对于这些题目,使用“题文齐读法”在文章的通读环节可预判解答一部分,但这些题目最终答案的确定则需要精读文章,做到解题有理有据、有法可依。


句内层次题的解题信息分布在本句内,在读懂文意的前提下,利用本句的一些解题信息就可直接做答。对于此类题目,考生可以边读边填,将原文信息尽量复原。
方法1 利用习惯搭配及固定结构解题
完形填空中经常会考查一些习惯搭配、固定结构和固定句式,这时考生就需要运用习惯搭配及固定结构来解题。
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅱ)I was 43.thrilled! I arrived early at Byron Bay where we were supposed to 44.meet. The bay was __45__ in sunshine, and there was a group of kayakers around 150m off the shore.
45.A.bathed       B.clean
C.deep D.formed
[分析] 选A 本题可以利用习惯搭配解题。此处意为“海湾沐浴在阳光中”,be bathed in为固定搭配,表示“沐浴在……中”。
方法2 利用生活常识和文化背景解题
完形填空的语篇中往往渗透着诸如文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。考生在做题时,若能积极地调动自己掌握的文化背景知识和生活常识,巧妙地加以运用,特别是注意中西文化的差异,将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程,节省宝贵的时间,从而轻松地做出正确判断。
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅱ)Getting a little 46.closer,_I realized one kayak (皮划艇) was in 47.trouble. “Something's not 48.right!” I took off my T?shirt and __49__ into the water. I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying across the middle. He was 50.shaking violently. Linking arms with one of the instructors, I helped __51__ the young man out of the water. He was unconscious and as I looked at his face, something 52.occurred to me. Those brown eyes were very 53.familiar. “What's his name?” I asked the instructor. “Ben,” he replied, and immediately I 54.knew. That stranger was my son!
49.A.stared B.sank
C.dived D.fell
51.A.lead B.persuade
C.carry D.keep
[分析] 49.选C 51.选C 这两道题可以利用生活常识和文化背景解题。根据生活常识,第49题我注意到一个皮划艇出了意外情况,我自然是脱掉T恤衫,“跳进”水里救人,dive意为“跳水”;第51题作者和一位教练双臂连接,两个人一起应该是将这个不省人事的年轻人“抬”出了水面,用carry表示“抬”。

方法3 利用对应成分分析法解题
完形填空文章的上下文之间以及句子内部之间往往有着一定的逻辑关系,它使句子的各个成分之间形成一定的对应关系。考生可以根据这种逻辑关系找出与未知填空相对应的已知成分,将它作为线索,通过它推断出未知填空的答案。
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅲ)Teresa 56.posted a photo of the chance meeting on a social networking website 57.accompanied by the touching words:“What a 58.blessing this young man was to our family! He was so __59__ and kind to do this.”
59.A.smart B.calm
C.sweet D.fair
[分析] 选C 本题可以利用对应成分分析法解题。

从上述分析可以看出,第59题与kind形成对应关系。因为有and这一并列连词,并且and前后意思应该一致,表示“他做这件事真是太友好和善良了”。故选C。
方法4 利用逻辑关系解题
此方法是通过分析未知填空前后文与已知信息之间的逻辑关系来确定答案,主要应用于完形填空的两类题型:一是考查连接词和起连接词作用的短语;二是考查上下文的逻辑关系。
[典例] (2016·全国卷Ⅲ) We went 10?1 and I was named most valuable player, __28__ I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller's 29.accident.
28.A.and B.then
C.but D.thus
[分析] 选C 本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。本空考查连词。连词的作用就是将其前后文的已知信息衔接起来,因此可以利用逻辑关系来解题,即通过分析该未知填空前后文的已知信息的逻辑关系来确定本题应该填入表达何种逻辑关系的连词。

通过上述分析得知本空前后文的已知信息是明显的转折关系,因此答案是but。and表示并列关系;then表示顺承关系;thus表示因果关系。
方法5 利用语境暗示分析法解题
上下文语境具体体现为:全文的中心主线和主题、作者的态度倾向和评价、上下文语篇衔接、句际和段际关系。在句内层次题中,我们通常可以通过上下文语境暗示,即根据已知信息,推导出正确答案。
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅱ)The instructors called for an ambulance. __55__, after a brief stay in hospital, Ben was well enough to be allowed to __56__ and later the family met up for dinner.
55.A.Fortunately B.Frankly
C.Sadly D.Suddenly
56.A.return B.relax
C.speak D.leave
[分析] 55.选A 56.选D 这两道题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。根据下文的“after a brief stay in hospital”,“well enough”和“later the family met up for dinner” 这些暗示中我们可知Ben“很幸运”,“被允许出院”。

句组层次题是比句内层次题稍难一级的题目,其解题信息分布在空格前后的一组意群之中,解题时需前瞻后顾,综合意群信息解答。即本句信息不足填,空格前后再找信息源。
方法1 利用语义复现解题
复现是一种语义衔接手段,它通过原词、同义词或近义词、反义词、上义词、下义词、同源词或同根词等重复出现来表达某一概念,使整篇文章上下连贯,有机地衔接在一起。因此,考生可根据文章的具体情况,理解文章的结构和语境,利用文章中的语义复现来选择正确的答案。
[典例1] (2018·全国卷Ⅲ)When most of us get a text message on our cell phone from an unknown person, we usually say “sorry, 41.wrong number!” and move on. But when Dennis Williams __42__ a text that clearly wasn't intended for him, he did something 43.special.
42.A.received       B.translated
C.copied D.printed
[分析] 选A 本题可以利用语义复现解题。第42空是上文“get”的同义词复现,故选A项。
[典例2] (2017·全国卷Ⅰ)While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration.I myself went through this __41__ process and found something that has changed my 42.experience at college for the better: I discovered ASL — American Sign Language (美式手语).
41.A.searching B.planning
C.natural D.formal
[分析] 选A 本题可以利用语义复现解题。第41空是上文“explore”的近义词复现,故选A项。
方法2 利用作者态度或感彩关联解题
在高考完形填空文章中,我们一定要在快速阅读文章的过程中,仔细找出能够反映作者态度和感彩的重要词汇,它们往往是名词、形容词、副词或动词。这些词汇通常是我们做题时重要的参照线索,可以帮助我们快速确定某些题目的正确答案。
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅱ)Two weeks earlier, my son, Ben, had got in touch. He'd moved to England with his mum when he was three and it had been 13 years since I'd 41.last seen him. So imagine my __42__ when he emailed me saying he wanted to come to visit me.
42.A.delight B.relief
C.anger D.worry
[分析] 选A 本题可以利用作者态度或感彩关联解题。前文提到作者已经13年没见过自己的儿子了,因此当儿子发来邮件说他想来看望作者时,作者应该是感到高兴(delight),故A项符合语境。
方法3 利用逻辑关系解题
在句组层次题中,利用逻辑关系解题同样是一种重要的方法。
[典例] (2016·全国卷Ⅱ) Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device (装置) on your desk.And they've never actually 41.met you.Everything they know about you 42.came through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away.__43__ they feel they can know you 44.just from the sound of your voice.That's how powerful the 45.telephone is.
43.A.Thus B.Yet
C.Then D.Indeed
[分析] 选B 本题是典型的考查上下文逻辑关系的题目,可以利用逻辑关系解题。

通过上述对本空前后文已知信息的分析,能够发现上下文之间是明显的转折关系,因此答案可以确定为选项B.Yet。thus“因此”;then“随后”;indeed“的确,确实”。
方法4 利用语境暗示分析法解题
在句组层次题中,有些题目我们往往也需要通过上下文的语境暗示来解题,即根据已知信息,推导出正确答案。
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅲ)On March 19, Dennis got a group text 44.informing him that a couple he didn't know were at the hospital, waiting for the __45__ of a baby.
“Congratulations! But I think someone was mistaken,” Dennis 46.responded. The baby was born and update texts were 47.coming_in quickly from the overjoyed grandmother, Teresa.
45.A.wake?up B.recovery
C.growth D.arrival
[分析] 选D 本题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。根据下文“The baby was born”这一暗示信息可知,一对夫妇正在等待宝贝的降临,因此选arrival“到来,降临”。
[课堂应用体验] 
Most people say “I'm sorry” many times a day for a host of trivial (琐碎的) things.These apologies are easy and usually readily __1__, often with a response like, “No problem.” __2__, when “I'm sorry” are the words needed to right truly hurtful words or acts, they can be the hardest ones to __3__.And even when an apology is offered with the best of intentions, it can be seriously __4__ by the way in which it is worded.A poorly worded apology can __5__ lasting anger and __6__ an important relationship.
I admit to a lifetime of challenges when it comes to __7__, especially when I thought I was right or __8__.But I recently __9__ that the need for an apology is less about me than the person who is __10__ by something I said or did or failed to do.I also learned that a sincere apology can be extremely __11__ for the recipient (接受者) as well as the __12__.
After learning that a neighbour who seemed __13__ due to my small errors, I wrote a __14__ and apologized for my __15__.I said I wasn't asking for __16__, merely hoping that we could have a harmonious __17__, and then delivered the letter with a jar of my homemade jam.
Expecting nothing __18__, I was greatly relieved when my doorbell rang and the neighbour __19__ me for what I had said and done.I felt as if I'd not only got rid of a(n) __20__ but made a new friend, which is indeed how it played out in the days that followed.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。不找任何借口,带着诚意与尊重为自己的过失道歉,不仅会减少一个敌人,而且会多交一个朋友。
1.A.accepted        B.found
C.proved D.remembered
解析:选A 根据该空后的“often with a response like, ‘No problem.’”可知,大多数人每天为各种微不足道的小事说许多次“对不起”,这些道歉容易做到,通常也易于“接受(accepted)”。
2.A.Therefore B.Otherwise
C.However D.Besides
解析:选C 根据上文中的“easy”与下文中的“hardest”的对比可知,该空前后两个句子之间是语义上的转折关系,故However符合语境。
3.A.say B.gain
C.forget D.control
解析:选A 根据该空前的“to right truly hurtful words or acts”可知,但是当“对不起”是为了弥补确实很伤人的话语或行为时,就会成为最难“说(say)”出口的话。
4.A.described B.weakened
C.recorded D.trusted
解析:选B 根据下文中的“poorly worded”与选项中的“weakened”近义词复现可知,即便你是本着最大的善意道歉,也有可能因为措辞不当而被“削弱(weakened)”。
5.A.depend on B.look on
C.take in D.result in
解析:选D 根据上文内容可知,措辞不当的道歉会“导致(result in)”持久的愤怒,也会“破坏(destroy)”一段重要的关系。
6.A.continue B.manage
C.judge D.destroy
解析:选D 参见上题解析。
7.A.lying B.dreaming
C.apologizing D.praising
解析:选C 根据空后“especially when I thought I was right”可知,作者承认“道歉(apologizing)”是人生的一个挑战,尤其是当他认为自己是对的,或被“误解(misunderstood)”时。其中right与misunderstood是并列关系。
8.A.admired B.worried
C.misunderstood D.delighted
解析:选C 参见上题解析。
9.A.discovered B.expected
C.promised D.feared
解析:选A 根据“But”提示和该空前后语境转折可知,“that the need ...failed to do”是作者最近“发现(discovered)”的道理。
10.A.moved B.hurt
C.attracted D.criticized
解析:选B 根据该空后的“by something I said or did or failed to do”可知,被自己所言、所行或未能做到的事“伤害(hurt)”到的人,更需要“我”的道歉。
11.A.simple B.impossible
C.beneficial D.interesting
解析:选C 根据下一段的具体事例可知,真诚的道歉不论对接受者还是“给予者(giver)”而言,都是非常“有好处的(beneficial)”。
12.A.quitter B.giver
C.lover D.rescuer
解析:选B 参见上题解析。上文“recipient”和选项中的“giver”之间是反义词复现关系。
13.A.excited B.puzzled
C.embarrassed D.annoyed
解析:选D 根据该空后的“due to my small errors”以及“apologized for”语境暗示可知,邻居因作者的一些小错误而“感到恼火(annoyed)”。
14.A.letter B.book
C.story D.poem
解析:选A 根据第17空后的“delivered the letter”提示可知,作者写了一封“信(letter)”。此处为原词复现。
15.A.jokes B.mistakes
C.excuses D.decisions
解析:选B 根据第13空后的“small errors”和选项中的“mistakes”之间是同义词复现关系,故作者为自己的“错误(mistakes)”道歉。
16.A.introduction B.suggestion
C.forgiveness D.encouragement
解析:选C 根据该空后的“merely hoping that we could have a harmonious __17__”以及下一段中的“Expecting nothing”可知,作者并不请求“原谅(forgiveness)”。
17.A.occupation B.relationship
C.community D.situation
解析:选B 根据上文可知,因作者的错误破坏了他与邻居之间的关系,那么作者道歉的初衷只是希望保持一种和谐的“关系(relationship)”。
18.A.in total B.in turn
C.in brief D.in return
解析:选D 联系上下文内容可知,作者并不期待任何“回报(in return )”。
19.A.thanked B.changed
C.comforted D.helped
解析:选A 根据该空前的“greatly relieved”可知,邻居“感谢(thanked)”作者所说的话和所做的事。
20.A.worker B.relative
C.neighbour D.enemy
解析:选D 根据该空后的“but”转折可知,该空与“a new friend”形成对比,故enemy符合语境。此处“friend”与“enemy”是反义词复现关系。

第三讲全篇思读,着眼几点,智取拉分题目
高考担负着区分考生、选拔人才的功能,因此每篇完形填空中总有2~3道这样的较难题目成为考生取得优异成绩的“拦路虎”。导致这些题目错选的原因主要有以下几点:①解题信息比较隐含;②干扰项迷惑性较强;③情感态度较难把握;④惯性思维所致。针对这些题目,考生除了需具备扎实的语言功底外,还应谨慎小心应对。本讲总结了解答完形填空的5大易错点,旨在让考生遇到此类题目时不要急于求成,要三思而判。
易错点1 因缺乏全篇关联思维而错选
语篇层次题的解题信息不局限于某一句或某一句群,而是分散在某一段或几段甚至全篇,要求考生理解整篇文章,抓住全文的脉络、作者的思想、意图或主人公的心理,然后进行准确的推理、判断,从而做出正确的选择。对于此类题目,一定要坚持这样一个原则——不急于解答,读完全文后综合思维再做判定。
[典例1] (2018·全国卷Ⅰ)During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 41.jumped_at the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to 42.save a few dollars? ...
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 48.job was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 49.clear that our credits would be hard?earned. In order to 50.pass the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 51.apply what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 52.eventually,_to our lives. I managed to get an A in that __53__ and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 54.classroom.
53. A.game        B.presentation
C.course D.experiment
[分析] 选C 本题是典型的语篇层次题,只看题目所在的句子我们是无法确定答案的,此类题目需要综合全篇来找线索。本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词复现。第一段“was offering a ‘free’ course”中的course是第53空的原词复现,故选C项。
[典例2] (2017·全国卷Ⅰ)
...
The 46.story began during my first week at college.I watched as the ASL Club 47.performed their translation of a song.Both the hand movements and the very 48.idea of communicating without speaking 49.attracted me.What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 50.past.This newness just left me 51.wanting more.
After that, feeling the need to __52__ further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club's meetings.I only learned how to 53.sign the alphabet that day.Yet instead of being discouraged by my 54.slow progress, I was excited.I then made it a point to 55.attend those meetings and learn all I could.
...
52.A.exercise B.explore
C.express D.explain
[分析] 选B 本题是语篇层次题,需要综合空格上一段和空格所在段落来寻找突破口。本题可以利用文章发展脉络解题。所节选部分文章发展脉络为:大学第一周我观看了美式手语俱乐部的表演→我被表演所吸引→我想进一步学习更多手语方面的知识→我参加俱乐部的会议。根据文章发展脉络可知,第52题是在作者观看了美式手语俱乐部的表演后感受到了进一步“探索”(explore)的必要。故答案为B项。
易错点2 因不能正确区分形近(义近)词而错选
完形填空题选项中经常会出现一些形近词或义近词让考生辨析,因为词形相近或意义相近,无形中增加了难度,如果考生对这些词掌握得不好或不着眼于语篇的意义便很容易选错。
[典例1] (2018·天津高考) I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 25.pride. Most important, I began to treat them like26.winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their 27.vacations,_we met every day and 28.practiced passing and kicking the football.
...
From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 33.affect the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 34.encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves __35__, and they built themselves into winners.
35.A.honestly B.individually
C.calmly D.differently
[分析] 选D 四个备选项在形式上非常相似,它们都是副词,部分考生很容易因混淆而失分。联系上句中的“Instead of seeing my boys as losers”以及上文的“treat them like 26.winners”可知,此处是指“我帮他们用不同的方式(differently)看待自己”。honestly“老实地,诚实地”;individually“个人地”;calmly“平静地”。
[典例2] (2017·江苏高考)For a long time Gabriel didn't want to be involved in music at all. In his first years of high school, Gabriel would look pityingly at the music students, __36__ across the campus with their heavy instrument cases ...
36.A.travelling B.marching
C.pacing D.struggling
[分析] 选D 四个备选项在含义上比较相近,考生很容易因分不清它们的含义而失分。由空前的“look pityingly at the music students”以及空后的“heavy instrument cases”可知,Gabriel同情地看着那些背着重重的乐器箱子、艰难地穿过校园的音乐生,故struggle“艰难地行进”,符合语境。travel“长途行走,旅行”;march“齐步走,行进”;pace“来回踱步,走来走去”。
易错点3 因不明一词多义或熟词生义而错选
在最近几年的高考完形填空中,一词多义或熟词生义的考查屡见不鲜,这往往也是考生容易忽视的地方。很多考生由于不懂这些熟词的“新义”而出现思维堵塞,造成了不应有的失分。下面我们选取具有代表性的试题加以分析,以帮助考生熟悉其命题特点,从而跳出命题人设置的词汇“陷阱”。
[典例1] (2018·全国卷Ⅲ)Much to the family's surprise, Dennis stuck to his 52.promise! He turned up at the hospital __53__ gifts for the new mother Lindsey and her baby boy. Lindsey's husband was totally 54.astonished by the unexpected visit. “I don't think we would have randomly invited him over but we 55.appreciate it and the gifts.”
53.A.bearing B.collecting
C.opening D.making
[分析] 选A 本文描述一个叫特蕾莎的老妇人沉浸在为人祖母的喜悦当中,她把小宝贝的照片发给了陌生人丹尼斯,但是丹尼斯却回复短信说他会去医院看望小孩,并与小孩合影。本段主要描述特蕾莎一家没有想到丹尼斯真的来到医院,还带来了礼物,她们非常感动。bear是一个多义词,用作动词,最常见的意思为“承受,忍受”,除此之外还有“承担(责任);支撑,承受(重量);显示;带有;携带;生(孩子);开(花);结(果实)”等。根据语境,在此意为“携带”。
[典例2]  (2018·浙江高考)One day I 46.met a former classmate of mine who was47.making a lot of money running a sideline (副业).Since his regular job was48.boring,_I asked him why he just didn't do his sideline full?time.He said without the job, he would__49__ have too much time and would just do what I did back in 50.college. He said that if he51.quit the job, he would lose his52.drive to work and succeed.
49.A.luckily B.hardly
C.hopefully D.simply
[分析] 选D 根据句意可知,他说如果没有那份工作,他确实会有很多时间。simply“确实,简直”。此处simply这个词属于熟词生义,我们比较熟悉它的义项是:简单地,简朴地。
易错点4 因词汇理解障碍而错选
在完形填空题的设题上,命题者往往还将一些考生平常容易忽视的词汇设置成选项,从而造成考生错选。对于这些词汇,考生在平时必须引起重视,背熟记熟。
[典例1]  (2017·全国卷Ⅰ)
...
The following term, I __56__ an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was __57__. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant.58.Instead,_if there had been any talking, it would have 59.caused us to learn less.Now, I appreciate the silence and the 60.new way of communication it opens.
56.A.missed B.passed
C.gave up D.registered for
57.A.prohibited B.welcomed
C.ignored D.repeated
[分析] 56.选D 57.选A 后文的语境中介绍了ASL课堂上教授的情况(教授是个失聪的人)以及在课堂上作者的感悟,由此可判断作者在下学期报名参加了这门课程。故第56题应选择D项,register for表示“登记,报名参加(课程)”。文中两次出现的“silence”以及“if there had been any talking, it would have 59.caused us to learn less”都表明,在手语课上任何谈话都是被禁止的,故第57题选择A项,prohibit表示“禁止”。此部分选项中的register for和prohibit都是考生相对陌生的考纲词汇,所以一些考生会因为词汇积累不够,又不能有效地利用上下文中的提示而失分。
[典例2]  (2017·全国卷Ⅲ)A Toronto man is offering a free round?the?world air ticket to the right woman. But __41__apply. You must be named Elizabeth Gallagher and have a Canadian 42.passport.
41.A.benefits B.deposits
C.restrictions D.examinations
[分析] 选C 该选段是文章第一段。空后介绍这位能够获得免费环游世界机票的女士的名字必须是Elizabeth Gallagher,而且必须持有加拿大护照。这些都是限制条件。故选择C项,restriction表示“限制规定”。restriction也在考纲之内,许多考生却因不熟悉这个词汇而造成误选。benefit“优势,好处”;deposit“订金,押金”;examination“检查,考试”。







易错点5 因惯性思维而错选
在英语学习中,由于种种原因,如考生的母语、知识面、思维习惯等都有可能令考生出现一些思维定式现象,即不善于思考,考虑问题不全面,导致误解一些题目,从而抑制思维能力的发展。完形填空解题中因惯性思维而失分常有以下两种情况:
(1)学习单词时受到的思维定式影响
有些考生学习英语单词过于简单化,仅记其中文意思,而不深刻理解其实际用法和英汉用法之间的细微差异。例如:表示“成功做某事”,不可以用succeed to do sth.来表达。
(2)学习词组或习惯用语时受到的思维定式影响
例如:学习了wait for这个词组以后,有的考生在做题过程中只要碰到wait,后面要接介词时就毫不犹豫地选择for。但在“He stopped his car to wait at the red light.”中就不用for。
[典例1] (2017·北京高考)One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man __36__ out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that, and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry.
36.A.jumping B.eating
C.crying D.waving
[分析] 选B 受思维习惯的影响,考生易误选A项,因为jump out of 是常见搭配。但根据下文的“the man was homeless and hungry”可知,她们看见一个人在垃圾桶里捡东西吃。故选B。
[典例2] (2016·北京高考)__41__ January 26, Billy and three other children had died.
41.A.From B.On
C.By D.After
[分析] 选C 受思维习惯的影响,考生可能会根据“在具体的某一天前用介词on”而误选B项。因为句子的谓语使用的是过去完成时,因此应用by。“by+时间”与完成时连用,后跟过去的时间时,用过去完成时;跟将来的时间时,用将来完成时。句意:截至1月26日,Billy和其他三个孩子都去世了。
[课堂应用体验]      (铺阴影的题目为易错题) 
Our younger son, Tim, was in his senior year of high school.Every student is madly trying to get good __1__ and complete college applications.There was an essay he had to write and the __2___was drawing near.We're good parents.We do our best at keeping our___3__ shut — whenever possible.Tim knew what he should do, but he had a tendency to __4__ anything.Weekend homework was never done until Sunday night, no matter how much free time there might have been.
I knew I shouldn't __5__ him, but I really worried.So I said in an offhand (随便的) way, “By the way, Tim, have you worked on that essay you're __6__ to do?” Tim, in his __7__ way, looked at me and said, “Mom, your anxiety is not going to make me get it done any faster” — a line that has been __8__ in family memory forever.Tim hit on something that seems __9__ truer today than when he first said it.Our anxiety doesn't make us faster or more efficient. __10__, it simply makes us more anxious.
It seems so __11__, and yet, something I easily forget.When I closed my eyes on the subway train, my anxiety was the first thing to __12__.It was surprisingly loud: “You need to do this! Have you worried about that? What about that?” I __13__ to open my eyes quickly, take out my phone and send an email __14__ put down something in my calendar.I forgot I should deal with my anxiety rather than be __15__ by it.

文体分类练(三) 说明文
A
(2018·安徽黄山质检)Men and women may have different experiences in shopping for clothes.
A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in __1__. He knows what he wants, and his __2__ is to find it and buy it. All men __3__ walk into a shop and ask the shop assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock (库存), the deal can be done and __4__ is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat to everyone's __5__.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that __6__, the salesman tries to sell the customer something else — he __7__ the nearest to the article required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute (替代品) __8__; he may say, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It __9__ to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have __10__ with this treatment, and the usual answer is:“This is the right color and may be the right size, but I shouldn't be __11__ my time and yours by trying it on.”
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the __12__ way. Her shopping is not often __13__ on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only “having a look around”. She is always __14__ to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that __15__ thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the lookout for the unexpected __16__.

第一讲题文通读,宏观把握,架构了然于胸
做完形填空题,最大的禁忌就是急于求成、贸然行动,不置于语篇大环境下凭主观臆断,造成“只见树木,不见森林”的片面性错误。正确的做法是:先通读全文和选项,对文意和题目有个大致了解,搞清楚主旨大意及思考方向后,再进行第二遍精读和答题。如何读文,如何做题,怎样才能高效,本讲将给予悉心宏观指导。
一、把握4大文体特征——读文求快
考生熟知各种文体特点,有利于从整体上把脉文章的篇章逻辑和组织方式,为更好地理解文章大意打下良好的基础。各文体特征在P89“理清文架构”中已做了详尽介绍,为便于考生加深理解,在此,我们结合完形填空选文的具体特点再略述一二。
(一)常考文体——记叙文
完形填空的文章体裁以记叙文为主,常见的故事基本上可分为餐厅故事、师生关系、家庭生活和个人奋斗等类型。从叙事方式来看,故事内容基本都遵循“起—承—转—合”的常见记叙文写作思路。从正负态度来解释,则可分为两种模式:一种为“负—正”,即故事开始就是“坏事”,后来转变为“好事”;另一种是“正—负—正”,即文章开始平静祥和,中间经历挫折、困难,最终迎来光明美好的结局。两种模式的共同点在于,无论故事如何开篇,过程都会经历曲折,结尾必然收获美好、充满希望。
总之,完形填空的选材基本都是积极向上、引人向善的文章。了解这些有助于考生理解文章内容、把握主人公情感走向,进而帮助解题。
(二)常考文体——夹叙夹议文
夹叙夹议类的文章通常是采用叙议结合的写作方法,文章先进行叙述,然后再在段落的结尾或文章的末尾展开议论,说明故事所包含的哲理或总结出作者的观点。阅读此类文章时,考生要重点关注议论的部分,从而总结出文章的主旨。
(三)时考文体——议论文
议论文是一种“剖析事物、论述事理、提出主张或发表见解”的说理性文章。议论文三要素是论点(作者的观点,也就是被证明的对象)、论据(用来证明论点的依据,是说明论点的理由和材料)和论证(运用论据证明论点的过程与方法)。高考议论型短文分为两种:一种是夹叙夹议型短文;另一种是纯议论型短文。第一种的基本模式是:叙述事件—抒发感悟—作出结论。第二种的基本模式是:提出问题—分析问题—解决问题。
(四)时考文体——说明文
说明文是以说明为主要表达方式,用来说明事物、阐明事理的一种文体。它通过揭示概念来说明事物的特征、本质及其规律性,给人准确的科学知识或传递某种思想。其基本模式是:观点—说明—总结。
二、掌握3步解题流程——解题求稳
三、练就一项超人技能——题文齐读
什么是“题文齐读” 为什么要“题文齐读”
  顾名思义就是一边读文,一边用眼睛的余光扫一下题目。二者并不是相互分散精力,而是协调配合、相互印证的。要做到双眼聚焦(一眼侧重于读文,一眼侧重于扫描对应的选项),眼脑共用(边读文边思考,对各空的选项有一个初判)。这项技能对考生的要求较高,运用此法要保证注意力高度集中,要具备较强的聚合思维。考生在平时的训练中要多尝试应用才能默化成规,内化于心。 (1)一篇约250词的短文存在20处的空格,信息的残缺不全造成文意理解的较大障碍。不看选项,不进行初判,“硬啃式”读文会造成越读越难,到后面甚至读得心烦意乱,从而造成文意理解的偏差。(2)完形填空大部分题目是送分或保分题目,通过边读边预判是能做对大部分的,随着一部分空格不断被填补还原,文意也就越来越明显,读文障碍会越来越少。“题文齐读”可大大缩减读文和答题时间。
[典例示范]
(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I __41__ the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to __42__ a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't __43__ enough about free credits, news about our __44__ was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which __45__ I would be learning from one of the game's __46__. I could hardly wait to __47__ him.
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this __48__ was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it __49__ that our credits would be hard?earned. In order to __50__ the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to __51__ what we would learn in class to our future professions and, __52__, to our lives. I managed to get an A in that __53__ and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the __54__.
Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he __55__ me: “The absolute most important __56__ that you learn when you play chess is how to make good __57__. On every single move you have to __58__ a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and __59__ the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my __60__ as a journalist.

[技法演示]
一、依据文体特征读文
本文是一篇记叙文。本文为“正—负—正”模式。作者在大学期间参加了免费的国际象棋课程,经过自己的努力学习,从教练那里学到很多受益终身的技能,从而对人生有了感悟。主题在最后一段,即如何正确地做决定。
二、“题文齐读法”例解(以第一段为例)
仔细阅读文章首句可知,本文讲述了“我”在大学二年级期间学习免费的国际象棋课程。读到41空和42空时,马上浏览一下选项,再结合41空前的“a ‘free’ course”以及这两个空后的宾语“the idea of taking ...”和“a few dollars”,可预判41题B项(jumped at)、42题C项(save)正确,即“欣然接受”课程和“省钱”。
读到43空时,浏览选项发现均为形容词,在句中作表语,说明主语的心情,结合空后的“free credits”以及上文的“I'd always wanted to learn chess”可知,“我”的心情应该是“兴奋的(excited)”,故预判A项正确。
接着读44空,浏览选项后,我们不能做出预判,需要继续读下文。读到下一句“an international grandmaster”时,我们不难对44题做出预判,即D项(instructor)正确。
读到45空和46空时,结合选项和前文中的关键词“an international grandmaster”可知,这两个空所在的句子是对关键词的进一步补充说明,故可预判45题D项(meant)、46题C项(best)正确。
读到47空时,浏览选项,结合前文信息以及关键词“could hardly wait”很容易预判B项(meet)正确,即“我”迫不及待想见到他。


请依据上面的解题思路尝试解答剩余题目(通过“题文齐读”能边读边填的先填上,不能填的留到最后再精读文章判断)
第二段:读到48空时,快速浏览选项,结合空前的关键词“returning to teach”可知这是一份工作,即可预判D项(job)正确。
读到49空时,浏览选项均为形容词,并结合49空的句式结构可知,此处应作宾语补足语,对后面的宾语从句作补充说明,再根据常识,可预判C项(clear)正确。
下一句涉及50、51、52三道题,我们需要一口气读完这句话了解句意,由句意可知前半句是“目的”,后半句是老师的“要求”,浏览选项,结合句意,可预判50题B项(pass)正确,即“为了通过这门课”。对于后半句中的51题,浏览选项可知是动词,再结合后面的介词to,以及句中的关键词“write a paper, what we would learn in class, future professions, our lives”可预判51题C项(apply)、52题A项(eventually)正确,即“把课上所学的运用到未来的职业中,最终运用到生活中”。
读到最后一句话时,浏览选项和上下文语境发现无法对53空做出预判,可先跳过。(此题需要读完全篇,根据第一段“offering a ‘free’ course”中的关键词“course”判断C项正确)
读到54空时,联系空前的“learned life lessons that have served me well”可知,“我”从学习国际象棋中学到了一些对我课堂之外的生活有用的知识,故可预判B项(classroom)正确。
第三段:读到本段时,因为有了前面的信息,我们采用“题文齐读法”就更有优势了。本段第一句话说到学习国际象棋十年后的今天,“我”仍旧使用老师所教给“我”的,故可预判55题的正确答案为A项(taught)。
读完56、57空后,浏览选项,结合句中的“you learn when you play chess is how to make good”可预判56题D项(skill)、57题B项(decisions)正确。
读完58空和59空所在的句子,浏览选项发现这两个空皆需填动词,我们再结合空后的宾语“a situation, the best move”不难做出预判,58题A项(analyze)、59题D项(evaluate)正确,即“分析形势”、“评估出最好的一步”。
读完最后一句话,根据关键词“as a journalist”,并浏览选项,可预判60题A项(role)正确,即今天这些话对于“我”作为记者的角色仍然是真实有用的。
