完形填空是一种最常见的考题,也是每年中考必考的题型,它主要考查学生的综合分析判断能力和运用英语语言的实践能力,也是对学生综合素质的考查。要做好完形填空题,既要具备一定的词汇量、语法知识和英语语感等基本功,又要具备快速阅读理解和综合分析判断能力。
中考完形填空考点如下:
1. 语法结构所要求的功能词,如连接词、连接代词、连接副词、关系代词、关系副词。
2. 具有语法变化的普通词,如动词的时态、语态、语气,名词的数,代词的格,形容词和副词的级等。
3. 固定搭配短语或词组中的特定词。
4. 同义词、近义词等易混淆词。
5. 根据上、下文意思及结构必须填入的确定词。
解题步骤及方法
-、浏览全文,掌握大意
在做完形填空题之前,应跳读全文,抓住首尾句的含义,猜测空格词的意思,判断文体,初步掌握短文大意。
二、逐句落实,综合判断
在做完形填空时,你所选择的答案要既符合语法,又符合语义和逻辑。千万不要顾此失彼。因此,既要根据短文大意,注意句意衔接和照应关系,看看语义和逻辑是否和短文相吻合;又要考虑语法如时态、语态、惯用法是否合理恰当,要做到前后照应,形意结合,综合判断。可以先易后难,然后逐句落实。
三、反复推敲,验证答案
反复阅读,再三复查也是做完形填空题最重要的步骤之一。它是对每一个所选答案的“终审判决”。做完形填空题后,不要急于草草收场,要细读短文几遍,检查所选答案是否和上下文相吻合。对有疑点的答案要反复推敲,作出决定;对无法确定的答案,不要漏选,可根据上下文猜词填空。

乘飞机时喜爱窗子旁边,但是临窗的座位上有一个警告,上面写着:此座留着是为了保持飞机平衡, 只好作罢。又有几个乘客看到空座走了过去,但看到纸条后都离开了。这时,上来一个年轻漂亮的女士,旁边的年轻人就把纸条拿掉了。阅读时注意体会文章的幽默感。
答案简析
1.A。因为下文叙述的是飞机上发生的事情。by air=by plane。
2.C。喜欢坐在窗子“旁边”。
3.B。表示结果,与上句的look for(表动作)相呼应。
4.B。从句子结构看,此空该填非谓语动词形式。seat是及物动词,
意思是“使某人就坐”,它与a young man是动宾关系,所以用seated,表示状态;而sit是不及物动词,它与a young man是主谓关系,要用sitting,表示动作。
5.C。不能选A,因为arrive为不及物动词;由下文可知,他根本没坐下来,所以也不能选B;若选D,则与上句的he went towards it相矛盾。
6.D。in large letters是固定说法,意为“用大写字母”。
7.B。这里该用现在分词表示伴随动作。say强调“说”的内容,而speak则指“说”的动作,故不选D。
8.D。which引导定语从句,指代先行词something particularly heavy。
9.A。another表泛指“另一个”。
10.C。此处不定式to sit用作定语,应与被修饰的名词seat构成动宾关系,而sit却是不及物动词,必须加上介词on。
11.B。try只表示设法去做某事,而不表示是否做成;manage却表示设法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知,不选C。
12.B。随着情节的发展,飞机上的人越来越多,快要“满了”,所以用full。
13.B。enter作“进入”讲时,一般不与into连用,故不选C。
14.A。quickly表示“立刻行动,毫不迟延”用于此处符合the man 的心境,也大大地增强了文章的幽默感。
15.C。take ---off---是固定搭配,意为“把……从……取下”。

本文讲解的是关于世界上最快的客机——协和式飞机(CONDORDE)的发展史。33年的历史、英法联手打造、耗资十多个亿、两倍于声速……无一不使人们叹为观止。
答案简析
C。本句如选invented或 produced,得用被动语态,took off是“起飞”的意思,这里意指“它第一次飞行是在……”因此,用flew最为恰当。
A。both…and …是固定短语,为“……两者都”的意思。
B。根据文意,“两个国家都有造超声波飞机的梦想”,而不是“谈话”、“会议”、或“战斗”。
A。work on sth.意为“致力于……”。
D。cost“耗资”。paid,wanted的主语应是人,needed指根据计划需要耗资等的数量,cost本身就表示花费成本的数量。
B。voice意为“嗓音”;noise意为“噪音”;shout意为“大叫声”;speed of sound意为“声速”。
B。固定短语it takes sb. some time to do sth.
D。because 后面是一个名词性词组,所以用because of 意为“由于……的原因”。本句意为“由于英、美之间的五个小时的时间差”。
A。根据上下文之间的联系,意为“你坐协和式飞机从London到New York,有可能已经到了New York,而还没离开London。(这是由于时差)。
C。catch the flight 意为“赶上某次航班”。
C。下文省略了“than in London”。
B。“每架飞机”,只有用each,其他都不对。
A。so far “到目前为止”,本句意为“到目前为止,已造出二十架飞机”
D。通过上下文可知,这两个机场所拥有的协和式飞机最多。
C。本句的主语是they,而each只是同位语,所以不可用has,have一般不用进行时态,所以不可选D。
