课件96张PPT。专题三 完形填空第一部分 核心专题突破 [真题多维细目表] 1．语篇特点
长度：文章长度一般为250词左右，阅读总词汇量在310词左右，阅读速度要求每分钟至少20词。
语篇类型：多为记叙文或夹叙夹议文。[命题规律与趋势] 主题语境：文章注重原汁原味，贴近生活，选材融知识性、教育性和趣味性于一体，内涵丰富。主旨内容会涉及人物、故事、交际、文化、社会等，突出“以德树人”的新课标理念。2．设题规律
(1)首句不设空，以便给考生提供文章情境的基本信息。短文中设空的平均间距为10～15词。
(2)设空主要是四类词：名词、动词、形容词、副词。多数情况下，名词和动词比形容词和副词多，偶尔其他词性的词也会考到，全国卷I基本已经不再考查其他词性。(3)选项特点
同一小题的四个选项，一般词性、形式相同，但也出现了以下四类混合情况：
①不同词性混合。如2018年全国卷Ⅱ第45题(A.bathed B．clean C．deep D．formed)。
②单数复数混合。如2019年全国卷Ⅰ第46题(A.equipment B．grass C．camps D．stones)。③不同比较等级混合。如2015年全国卷Ⅱ第47题(A.less B．poorly C．newly D．better)。
④单词短语混合。如2017年全国卷Ⅰ第56题(A.missed B．passed C．gave up D．registered for)。(4)一般不考查单纯的语法题，也不考查近义词辨析。
预计2020年高考完形填空的设置仍然会保持以上特点。备考时，可多侧重于“记叙文”和“夹叙夹议文”的练习，但“议论文”和“说明文”也要适当兼顾。考生在平时的训练中，应增强语篇意识，注意上下文语境及内在逻辑关系的把握，重视文章的脉络，切勿孤立地做题。审题和解题时应遵循整体性、连贯性、先易后难原则，加强对词义(尤其是实词)在不同语境中的辨析能力的培养等。习惯搭配主要指动词与介词的搭配、动宾搭配及句式搭配等。能不能搭配，除涉及词语的用法外，还需结合语境来判断。向量的概念及线性运算利用习惯搭配及固定结构解题[考题验证] (2019·全国卷Ⅲ，节选)
A row of reflective boards on a nearby mountainside were put to __48__.
48．A．repair B．risk
C．rest D．use[分析] 此句介绍尤坎居民是如何得到光源的——附近山坡上的一排反射板投入使用。put to use投入使用，为固定搭配，符合语境，故选D项。将原文信息和背景知识、常识等结合起来，进行简单推理，从而得出正确答案。事实上，该技巧与逻辑推理常常交织在一起，因为虽有背景常识，但仍需简单推理，逻辑推理离不开背景常识。向量的概念及线性运算利用生活常识和文化背景解题 [考题验证] (2019·全国卷Ⅲ，节选)
“Of course, we 42.notice it when the sun is shining，” says Karin Ro, who works for the town's tourism office.“We see the sky is __43__,but down in the valley it's darker—it's like on a 44.cloudy day.”
43．A.empty B．blue
C．high D．wide[分析] 上文提到了when the sun is shining，根据常识可知，有太阳的时候天空是蓝色的，此空也与下文的darker形成对比，故选B项。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。向量的概念及线性运算利用对应成分分析法解题 [考题验证] (2019·全国卷Ⅲ，节选)
“It's not very __59__，” she says, “but it is enough when we are 60.sharing.”
59．A.big B．clear
C．cold D．easy[分析] 本题可利用对应成分分析法解题。
“It's not very __59__，” she says, but it is enough when…根据以上分析可以看出，第59题与enough形成对应关系。因为有but这一表转折关系的并列连词，其前后意思应该相反，又因为空前有not，所以应该填big，表示“它不是很大，但当我们分享的时候就足够了”，故选A项。复现是一种语义衔接手段，它通过原词、同/近义词(如pretty与good-looking)、反义词(如hard与soft)、上下义词(如sofa是furniture的下义词，furniture是sofa的上义词)、同源词(如economic与economical)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。向量的概念及线性运算利用语义复现解题[考题验证1] (2019·全国卷Ⅰ，节选)
However, I soon 45.discover that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of __46__ among tons of rubbish.I find a 47.clean mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths…
46．A.equipment B．grass
C．camps D．stones[分析] 联系下文中的with toilets at camps可知，这里报道的是营地(camps)。此处为原词复现，故选C项。[考题验证2] (2019·全国卷Ⅰ，节选)
…This 52.view is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as __53__ go through five ecosystems(生态系统) in the space of a few kilometers.
53．A.scientists B．climbers
C．locals D．officials[分析] 联系上文的Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro可知，爬山的人(climbers)可以经历五种生态系统。climb和climber是同源词复现，故选B项。[考题验证3] (2019·全国卷Ⅰ，节选)
The glaciers(冰川) are disappearing, changing the __43__ of Kilimanjaro.
43．A.position B．age
C．face D．name[分析] 冰川是乞力马扎罗山地貌(face)之一，所以冰山融化会改变它的地貌。glaciers是face的下义词，故选C项。考生可以根据句内、句组内在的逻辑关系来推断正确答案。常见的逻辑关系有因果关系、转折关系、对比关系、递进关系、让步关系、并列关系、条件与结果关系等。向量的概念及线性运算利用逻辑关系解题 [考题验证] (2019·全国卷Ⅲ，节选)
The 3,500 residents cannot all 56.enjoy the sunshine at the same time.__57__,the new light feels like more than enough for the town's 58.sun-starved residents.
57．A.Instead B．However
C．Gradually D．Similarly[分析] 空前提到居民不能同时享受阳光，空后提到，新光线对小镇居民而言感觉绰绰有余，由此可知，前后句为转折关系，故选B项。真题题组 应用体验 When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.That meant __1__ Miller King, who was the best __2__ at our school.Cloze 1[2016?全国卷Ⅲ] 记叙文 ?词数：242Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out.I carried my football everywhere for __3__.

8．解析 C 结合空后一句可知，开始时孩子很乐意(gladly)为宠物洗澡和梳理毛发。silently沉默地；impatiently不耐烦地；worriedly忧虑地，故选C项。9．解析 B 孩子没有了兴趣，因此照顾宠物的负担(burden)就移交给了父母。promise承诺；right权利；game游戏，故选B项。
10．解析 D 根据上文的children are excited about可知，进入高中的青少年也满怀兴奋(excitement)，故选D项。11．解析 A 刚进入高中的青少年开始时很兴奋，从but可以推知，他们不久就失去了兴趣而盼望毕业(graduation)。dependence独立；responsibility责任，职责；success成功，故选A项。
12．解析 C 根据上文的The same is true of the young adults going…可知，此处是讲成年人(adult)的事情，故选C项。13．解析 B 根据后面的…when they first __14__ their driver's licenses(执照) 可以推知，人们最初拿到驾照的时候很渴望(eagerly)开车的，故选B项。
14．解析 B 此处指获得驾照应用obtain。require要求；notice注意到；discover发现，故选B项。
15．解析 D 退休前人们通常计划(plan)做很多事情，故选D项。16．解析 A 根据下文的the golfing, the…other pastimes可知，人们退休后打算做一些极好的(great)事情，故选A项。
17．解析 A 根据前面的before people retire可知，人们要做自己原来没有时间(time)做的事情，故选A项。
18．解析 D soon after意为“不久”，也就是在他们退休后不久，故选D项。19．解析 C 根据前面的after retirement可知，他们退休了，而他们退休前打算要做的那些事情也正如他们离开(leave)的工作一样无聊，故选C项。
