Section 14 完形填空
记叙文
【命题探究】
完形填空考查考生语言运用与理解的综合能力。要求考生通读全文，掌握文章大意，运用词汇、语法等知识，选择最佳答案。记叙文类完形填空是高考和备考的重点。
1．首句完整，线索清楚
作者常在首段就交代人物的特征或事件发生的时间、地点，最后得出结论
2．叙述灵活，侧重语境
文章以叙述为主，记叙人物或描述事件，作者无评论。因此，要在理解上下文的基础上，通过语境，辨析词语，做出选择。
3．实词为主，虚词为辅
高考记叙文类完形填空篇幅不长，一般在300个词左右，始终紧扣话题中心，形成一个主题连续体。重点集中于动词、名词、形容词或副词等实词上，介词、连词、冠词等虚词的考查相对较少。实词为主，虚词为辅，更能体现在语境中考查英语运用能力。
1．读好短文首
完形填空首句一般不设空，是完整的一句，信息就从这里开始，它暗示或告诉读者下文将会说什么。正确地利用首句信息对于把握答案的方向是极其重要和有效的。
2．读懂作者的态度
分析全文，弄清作者是否一直用某种态度叙述某件事情。正确把握反映作者情感的关键词。
3．掌握大意，理清角色
记叙文一般有两个或多个角色，作者对不同角色的态度是不一样的，即便是他们做同样的事情。
4．理顺事件经过
记叙文多数是按事情的发展顺序进行叙述的
Whenever we hear about“ the homeless”，most of us think of the Developing World.But the__1__is that homelessness is everywhere.For example，how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a__2__country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making__3__for the homeless of Berlin，Germany’s capital.They first__4__one long hot summer when most Germans were__5__on holiday.Kurt and his wife stayed at home，made sandwiches，__6__a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
1．A.result
B．truth
C．reason
D．idea
2．A.traditional
B．developing
C．typical
D．wealthy
3．A.preparations
B．houses
C．meals

D．left
5．A.asleep

C．across
D．away
6．A.brought up
B．set up
C．put aside
D．gave away
答案 1.B 2.D 3.C 4.A 5.D 6.B
【方法指导】
1．速读全文，掌握大意，把握语境，瞻前顾后，分析选项。
本文首段讲述了Muller夫妇致力于帮助无家可归者，并申请向他们捐助，社会各界也纷纷伸出援助之手。通过上下文的叙述，“无家可归者到处都有”可知，这是一个事实、真相，故第1题选择B项，第2题选择D项，而下文又提到Kurt and his wife stayed at home，made sandwiches可推知第3题选择C项，而第6题应选择B项“摆放桌子
2．掌握动词的基本用法以及动词与副词、动词与介词的搭配。
根据语境，推测作者的写作意图与描写目的，从而选出正确选项。如第4题作者描述Kurt夫妇初次开始这项工作，第5题“去度假”，动词be与副词away搭配，第6题考查动词短语的搭配及意义，根据上下文得出答案。
3．善用背景知识
在解答这类完形填空题时，考生要善于利用背景知识，也就是说利用所提供的上下文语境来作为解题的依据。本文是围绕Kurt夫妇助人为乐的故事来写的，这是一个特定的背景。

The Fitting－in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan，I knew I had to help her.She was really small for her age of 12.The boys in my class often

the talent show.“I need more of these，but I just don’t have enough
__11__.Could you help me，Suzy？”
On the day of the talent show，Suzy’s

“And finally，”said Mr.Brown，the schoolmaster，at the end of the show，“we have a (n) __13__ award.I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.”Everyone nodded.“One of our own students
__14__
them.”
I could hear everyone whispering.“Who in our school could draw
__15__
well？”
Mr.Brown waited a while before saying，“
__16
this student worked so hard on the posters，she deserves a
__17__，too.Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan！”
Mr.Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set.“Thank you，”she cried.
