2017英语考前冲刺Ⅲ专题13 完形填空

　　【高考预测】

　　完形填空题作为近年来考高中一直保留的题型，主要是考查学生对英语知识技能的一种全面把握能力。作为一种传统题型，它能比较全面准确地反映出考生的真实英语水平。就题目本身而言，文章取材广泛，难度适中，长短适度，一般三四百单词左右，题目设置二十个，涉及基本语法项目，综合性强。在做完形填空题时，一般来说先要了解试题的命题导向，具备一定的语言综合能力，做题时应整体把握全文信息，抓住文章大意，然后紧扣中心，运用所学知识，细心推测，辨析词义，仔细答题。

　　一、高考试题命题导向分析

　　1.试题命题总体原则

　　高考完形填空题一般取材于英文杂志报刊等，文章一般也是由以英语为母语的人士撰写，因此，文章通俗、地道。就题目设置而言，为了使考生在理解文章时得到一定启示，命题时一般不在文章开头就设空，这样有利于考生更好地抓住全文大意。文章主体部分逻辑性强，结构严谨，主题明确，中心突出，一般以记叙文为主，说明文、议论文为辅，其测试目标并不是以语言知识为主要目标，而是以对文意的理解为主要目标。

　　2.试题内容分析

　　A.就整个语段而言，近年来完形填空题多以围绕某一主题为中心，根据文章情景和意义进行推理判断。它要求考生根据文章的主题，情节和内在的逻辑关系来选择最佳答案。有时单就某句话而言，四个选项都是正确的，但如果从整体上看，却只有一个答案是最佳的，从而避免了只看答案，甚至不看全文内容就可选出答案的语法式选择。现在的试题有时是将语言知识与情节推理相结合，语言知识与逻辑推理相结合的。

　　B.就所考题目本身而言，所考题目基本上是以实词为主，虚词为辅。考得较多的是名词、动词、形容词和副词等。此外，还夹杂一些词组(短语)，要求学生结合文章具体的情节，作出合理的选择。

　　二、完形填空题的解题技巧

　　在高考做完形填空试题时，一定切忌匆忙下手，要首先从整体上把握全文含义，重视完整句的启示作用，弄清各分句，各段落之间的内在逻辑关系，仔细分析，弄清出题人的意图，注意文中所表达的心理活动，言语的表达形式，作者的态度及文章的主旨。一般来说，可以从以下几个方面人手:

　　1.通篇考查，抓住大意

　　做完形填空切忌拿来就做，必须先通览全文，对文章的大意进行整体把握，然后再化整为零，逐题选择。这才是正确的战略战术。 通览全文还须有科学的方法，应从提示句、完整句、关键句着手，充分利用已有信息来捕捉、扩展有效信息，注意细小情节和主要情节的发展，注意人物的心理活动等。在这一步中将难词、难结构、难句做上记号，留到下一步去解决。

　　2.“网”上邻居，注意逻辑

　　在通读全文并对全文形成大致初步印象的基础上，围绕文章主题积极开展思维，寻找突破口。一般说来，完形填空题中有一些题比较容易选出正确答案，但有些题必须从左邻右舍，上下文中的逻辑联系中去寻求正确答案，这就要求做题者必须联系上下文来仔细考虑。一旦容易的题目得以解决，便可借助它们提供的信息进一步乘势扩大战果，歼灭较难的题目。

　　3.紧扣中心，小心推理

　　每篇完形填空都有部分空格难以选择答案。除了语言知识等因素的障碍外，主要原因还是考生对文意不大清楚之故。高考完形填空一般来说是有情节的。有些题目就是依托情节的发展逻辑，根据语法知识对整个题目进行一次全方位的检索，重点检查与文章中心不符的问题，对答案进行确认。

　　简言之，做好完形填空题并非一朝一夕之事，平时必须练好扎实的语言基本功，下力气培养语感，增加、扩充文化背景知识，要多操练。只有在了解上述解题的思路的基础上进行技巧性操练才能达到熟能生巧，才能在考试中稳操胜券。

　　1.A

　　解析:本题要根据特定语境确认短文讨论的话题中心并根据语句结构找出相应的文，这里要表示“大人中没有一个人有曾经吃过这种意大利面食的经历”，所以B选项为正确选项，不是热衷于，也不是感兴趣，因此其他选项可以被排除。

　　7.D

　　解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的名词。根据此时的语境，这里要表达“我们笑着争论这种面条的吃法”，所以D选项为正确选项。

　　8.D

　　解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的副词。该处想表示“大家普遍采用吃法”，表示社会认同的方法，而不是官方认同，所以正确选项为D。

　　9.C

　　解析:本题要根据特定语境判断选择恰当的副词选项。该处要表示“此时，我突然想把这件事写下来”， 所以正确答案为C。

　　10.B

　　解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的动词选项。 put it down在这里表示“写；记下”，同上文的“write about it”。正确答案为B。

　　11.D

　　解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的名词选项。根据上下文，作者要表达“我想自己享受这份快乐” (for my own joy)，而不是故事，所以选择D为最佳选项。

　　12.C

　　解析:本题要根据行文逻辑选择恰当的关联用语。这里表示“至于某人”，所以C为正确答案。

　　13.A

　　解析:本题测试根据特定语境对句式结构的掌握能力。前面说到“when I finished it 不要喜形于色”，所以 选择D为正确选项。

　　19.B

　　解析:本题要根据语境来选择恰当的关联词语。上文中“我十分快乐”是因为我的作文可以给别人带来快乐。故B为正确选项。

　　20.D

　　解析:本题要根据行文逻辑来选择固定的动词短语搭配。从上文可看出，这里要表示“让人们快乐”， 因此用laugh。

　　One day when the captain had come from a

　　with a lot of money,the merchant told him that the price of

　　had

　　4

　　,and made

　　5

　　that he should buy some with his money. “I’ll

　　it for you in my storehouse

　　7

　　.you return from your next voyage,” said the merchant, “and perhaps the price will go up and you will be able to sell it and get more money.”

　　But while the captain was away, the price of iron went up very

　　8

　　,so the merchant sold it and kept the money. When the captain came hack, his

　　9

　　friend told him that he was very sorry and the rats had eaten all the iron.

　　The captain knew his friend was

　　10

　　lies, but he stayed

　　11

　　and said, “I knew that you had problems

　　12

　　rats in your storehouse.”

　　After a few days ,the captain started

　　voyage, and when he returned home at the end of his voyage he said to

　　the merchaut, “I’m very

　　14

　　,but

　　15

　　our voyage a bird came down and carried your son away.”

　　The merchant was very

　　16

　　and said, “ Birds cannot carry boys!” “And rats cannot eat iron,” answered the captain. The merchant took the captain to a

　　C. ship

　　D. plane

　　答案:C

　　5. A. preparation

　　B. advice

　　C. decision

　　解析:词语搭配及意义辨析。preparation的常见用法有in preparation for...／without preparation／make preparations(for...)等；提出建议用动词give；decision为可数名词；make a suggestion意为“提出建议”，suggestion之后的同位语从句中动词用的是虚拟语气，谓语动词为should+动词原形(buy)。

　　6. A. keep

　　B. advice

　　C. hold

　　D. put

　　答案:A

　　解析:词语辨析和后文提示。第三段有一句“...the merchant sold it and kept the money.”此处kept与本题正确答案A意义相同，是“保管，保存”之意。

　　7. A. when

　　B. since

　　C. until

　　D. after

　　答案:C

　　解析:词语用法辨析。此句意思为“我替你保管那些铁，直到你下次航海回来。”until用于肯定句中，表示主句的动作或状态持续到它所表示的时间就停止。

　　8. A. slowly

　　B. highly

　　C. high

　　D. low

　　答案:B

　　解析:词语辨析。此处意义为价格上涨，故先排除A、D；high与highly为一组同根副词，high通常表示位置的“高”，而hightly通常表示抽象、引申意义的“高”，如think highly of“高度评价”等。

　　答案:B

　　解析:词语用法辨析。

　　14. A. sorry

　　B. glad

　　C. afraid

　　D. clear

　　答案:A

　　解析:词语辨析及上下文联系。sorry意为做错了事向别人道歉，第三段最后一句也有类似表达“his friend told him that he was very sorry...”。

　　15. A. before

　　B. after

　　C. during

　　D. in

　　答案:C

　　解析:词语用法辨析。根据文意排除A、B，介词in 与during之后可接表示“一段时间”的词语，在很多情况下二者可以通用，但是介词during后面也可以接表示“一项活动”的名词，如during my stay in Shanghai， during their visit to China等，这种情况下不能用in，故选C。16. A. curious

　　B. frightened

　　C. angry

　　D. puzzled

　　答案:D

　　解析:词语辨析及上下文联系。此题易误选angry。根据后文“And rats cannot eat iron.”以及船长的解释可以看出，最好选puzzled“迷惑不解的”.
