考点25 完形填空之记叙文

一、命题趋势

完形填空是英语考试中一项重要的考查内容。完形填空也是一种综合能力测试题，是对学生语法、词汇、句型、阅读能力、理解能力和逻辑推理能力的一种多方位的检测。按照考试大纲要求，通常在一篇200词左右的难度适中的文章中留出10个空白，要求学生从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使补足的短文意思通顺、结构完整。

综观各地往年中考真题，记叙文居多，而且近年中考中记叙文所占比例超过50%，预测2019年中考完形填空也会以记叙文为主，侧重考查实词和对上下文语境、逻辑的理解。

二、考试内容 

完形填空考题要求考生在阅读过一篇不完整的文章后，能根据上下文意思，在所给的选项中选择最佳答案。其考查点有：

    1. 能够掌握足够的词汇量，正确运用词类和词语的正确搭配。包括名词、代词、冠词、动词等词类和短语等。

    2. 基础语法知识。包括句法、固定搭配、句型、词语加惯用法、时态、语态、主从复合句等。

    3. 还应具有一定的语言运用能力、阅读能力、理解能力、综合分析能力和逻辑判断能力。

    ① 以语篇为载体，测试语言知识和语言能力。试题既考查学生对短文的整体理解能力，也考查学生运用语法知识、词汇知识的能力以及对事物的逻辑推理、分析判断能力。

    ② 以意义填空为主。试题在着重考查考生阅读理解能力的前提下，兼顾对语言知识、常识、逻辑推理能力的考查。

    ③ 降低对单词本身词义的考查要求，注重考查对全文意义的理解。中考完形填空备选项中所涉及的词汇基本上都是常见的初级词汇。

    ④ 考点分布符合考查目的。试题以名词、动词、形容词和副词等信息词汇为考查重点，淡化对介词、连词、冠词等结构词的考查，以检测学生在具体情境中灵活运用所学知识的能力。

⑤有的采用主观试题形式。有些完形填空题全部舍弃了学生们平时接触较多的＂四选一＂形式，而改之以＂自由完形填空＂形式，除了要求填入单词外，有的还设置了要求填入词组或短语的空格。

三、命题特点

1. 选文特点：

① 以叙述文体的小故事为主；

② 篇幅一般在200~300词之间；

③ 难度略低于阅读理解中的短文；

④ 所选短文语言地道、纯正，结构严谨，层次分明，逻辑性强。

2. 设空特点

① 首句通常不挖空，以便考生对短文前提和背景有个较清楚的了解，从而使考生尽快熟悉语境、推测文章大意。

② 短文设空平均密度为10—20个单词设一个空。

3. 选项特点

① 每个小题所给的四个选项一般都属于同一词性，语意范畴相同。长短相宜，避免了对答案的明显暗示，彼此之间也不会出现相互包容的情况。偶尔有个别小题的四个选项的词性不同，但其语法功能大都一样。

② 单从语法角度，甚至从某一句的角度来看，干扰项都可以和空前或空后的文字形成某种搭配，从而形成一定的干扰或起到迷惑作用。

③ 选项使用词汇没有重复，尽可能增加考查内容的覆盖面。

4. 考查特点

近几年的完形填空题主要考查考生对上下文的理解，要求考生通过语境来作出选择。＂语境能力型＂试题具有一定难度，因为所给的四个选项往往在语法方面都能成立，错误选项多半可以和空前、空后文字形成某种搭配，极具干扰和迷惑作用。

5. 难处暗示特点

完形填空的短文有时因为行文的需要，出现了对考生来说较难理解的背景，或者有时是命题者为了有意识地控制完形填空的难度等原因，往往会在短文的适当之处安排暗示。但这种暗示多为后面暗示前面，也就是说前面的某些空从当时的情况来看，或是线索不清，或是语境不明，无法填出，但只要继续往后看，就会发现此空在文章后面的某个地方有暗示。

完形填空题解题技巧

一、解题步骤

    1. 通读全文，了解大意。

    通读全文时，要跳过空格快速阅读，弄清文章的基本含义。可以先快速阅读全文，这样我们对文章的整体结构和中心思想有个基本的了解。有利于进一步把握全文所讲内容、篇章结构及时态语态的变化，为后面的答题创造条件。

    2. 重视首句的开篇启示作用。

    完形填空所采用的短文一般不给标题，但短文的首句通常可以点明短文的性质，如叙事、议论等，这是我们探索短文全貌的＂窗口＂。可以以首句的时态、语态为立足点进行思考，判断文章的体裁，推测全文的大意及主题。所以应该重视首句的启示作用。

    3. 抓住关键词，根据上下文解题。

    解题时，要遵循忠于全文大意和主题这一原则，联系上下文展开逻辑推理分析，要迅速找出那些在短文中起重要作用的关键词，了解所提问题的特定语境，语篇中的内在关系。

    在解题过程中，应遵循＂先易后难＂的原则，遇到个别难题不易判断时，可先跳过去，先去解决那些靠上下文能确定的、比较直接明确的问题。随着下文的展开和文章的深入，或许在前面难以判断的题，下文就有暗示，甚至有明确的暗示。因此，在选择答案时，应特别注意联系前后句，充分利用上下文为确定答案提供的有用信息。

    4. 重读全文，验证答案。

    在全部空格补全以后，一定要根据填好的答案重读全文，看文章是否流畅，前后是否矛盾，语法结构是否无误。如果发现哪些地方读起来不流畅，这就说明那里有毛病，就要进行仔细推敲、订正。

二、技巧点拨

    1. 充分利用首句作为解题的突破口。

    完形填空的首句往往是完整的、不设空的。而首句又常常是全文的中心句，因此，应充分重视完形填空的首句，通过它大致把握全文的大意和作者的意图，利用它作为解题的突破口。依据首句的提示，捕捉文中关键信息，通览全文，了解文章的题材、体裁、结构、背景、内容大意、前因后果、情节发展、论点论据等基本信息。同时，可以对有些空格要填的词做试探性猜测，为下一步选择最佳选项做好准备。

    2. 根据上下文的逻辑意义确定答案。

    文章是一个具有内在联系的整体，而上下文则是营造语境的基础，也是逻辑推理的依据。通读全文，理顺大意，根据上下文找出信息词，是做好完形填空的技巧之一。完形填空的命题设计正朝着深层化和语境化方向发展，逐渐淡化单纯的语言分析考查，而越来越侧重对逻辑推理判断的考查。词语在特定语境中所表达的隐含信息大都无法从字面或—个或几个句子的表面理解传达出来，这就大大增加了干扰项的迷惑性，从而提高了试题难度。因此，要想解决这类题目，只有借助上下文乃至全文语境的提示。

    3. 从词汇的意义和用法方面考虑。

    做好完形填空必须具备较大词汇量，并结合上下文确定词义。完形填空在命题过程中，淡化基础句型结构，语法规则和短语搭配，侧重词汇的活用。应该加强对词汇合乎情景需求的判断的训练，加深对基本词汇的感受能力和应用能力，提高完形填空题的解题技能。

　　4. 积累习惯用法和固定搭配。

    完形填空题中考查习惯搭配和固定用法的题目也占有一定比重，这就需要平时记忆和积累，做到脱口而出。这类题属于较容易的，一般在初选时就能确定。

    5. 依据作者的态度和观点。

    作者写一篇文章必有他的意图和目的，作者在表达情感时总是选择特定的词汇，因此文章字里行间不可避免地渗透了作者的情感。做完形填空时，应该留心捕捉作者的情感信息。

    6. 注意分析句子结构。

    通过句法、语法，能把复杂的句子变得简单，使得意义清晰，信息透明。

    7. 依据生活经验和常识。

有些空涉及到我们应该具备的常识，是否合乎情理是我们选择的依据。

记叙文类完形填空解题技巧

一、解题步骤

二、解题方法

1. 词语搭配法：根据词语的习惯搭配来确定正确答案。

2. 语法判断法：通过语法分析来选择正确答案。若选项是名词，应根据上下文确定该名词的单复数以及是否用所有格等；若选项是动词，应考虑其时态、语态、搭配及非谓语形式等。

3. 语境分析法：根据上下文的具体语境，利用所学知识和平时积累的生活常识等，选出最符合情景的选项。

4. 对比排除法：有时对于一些难选的空，可以试着将各个选项逐一代入空处，然后进行综合比较，从而选出最恰当的答案。

三、满分技巧

1. 了解记叙文的六要素。

记叙文，无论是记人还是叙事，都会交代清楚时间、地点、人物、事件、经过和结果，即记叙文的＂六要素＂。弄清了这六个要素，基本上就理解了整篇文章。

2. 明确作者的写作目的。

就事论事一般来说不是作者记叙的目的，作者往往通过叙述阐明一个道理。作者总是为了某个目的，在情节选择和细节描写上作出合理的安排。读者明晰了写作目的，就能抓住文章的主题。

3. 读懂作者的观点或态度。

解题时要认真分析全文，看作者是否一直采用某种态度叙事或描述人。为了增加试题难度，命题人往往采用变化的形式，考生只有在语境的指导下，对文章进行准确地逻辑推断，才能推测出文字之下的深层信息。

4. 弄清作者叙述的视角。

弄清文章是以第几人称的视角展开记叙的。通常英语记叙文展开记叙的视角有两个：第一人称和第三人称。用第一人称就是从＂参与者＂的角度进行记叙，读者可从字里行间感受到作者的态度和感情。用第三人称就是以＂观察者＂的身份展开叙述，作者的语气客观，与读者保持一定距离，读者的注意力更多地集中在故事本身上。了解作者的写作角度有助于我们抓住作者的思维，深入理解文章的意义，把握好语境。

No One’s Words but My Own

The classroom was full of those of us who wanted to work on the school newspaper. I didn’t write a lot, but working on the paper sounded like fun. I liked the idea of being a reporter, interviewing my friends, and covering middle school events. 

To be chosen, we had to turn in an example of our ___13___. I wrote an article about the joys of summer, and showed it to my father, a talented poet. He read it and frowned(皱眉).

“It’s okay,” my father said, taking out a pencil. “But how about changing this sentence to …” And as a result, he rewrote the whole piece─without me, for I never said anything to ___14___ him.

No surprise─his version (版本) was wonderful. He had a gift for language. It was so much better than my piece that I turned in his version instead of mine. 

“Welcome to the Dundee School News,” my teacher said to me. But before I could be ___15___ about the news, he added, “based on that excellent article you wrote about summer, I expect you to write a personal opinion article every week for the second page of the paper.”

I was so surprised. I was unable to write at that level, but I couldn’t tell the ___16___ to the teacher, and I couldn’t ask my father for help, either.

That term working on the paper was really painful. And my teacher expressed ___17___, “Can’t you write something more like that first piece you wrote?” he said, each time I turned in my article.

I couldn’t, because at that age, I didn’t have my father’s ability and experience as a writer. Week after week, I tried hard, but my writing never ___18___ the level of the first article. 

At last, to my total shame, another student took my place. I ___19___ that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of trying to help me to improve it. But in my heart I knew it was my fault (错误) because I allowed him to do it. 

Later, I did become a successful writer on my own. Looking back, I realized that the pain and shame of that school experience had a ___20___ side. It taught me to depend on myself and be myself. So every day, I try to use my own words, find my own style and be my own best self. It feels great.
