　　完形填空之议论文、说明文类

　　【2017年高考命题预测】

　　纵观近几年的高考完形填空的考查走势，全国18套卷中的完形填空中，议论文、说明文类完形填空出现的几率很小。但是，我们也不能马虎，它们作为高考题型的重要补充，还是有可能考的。因此，议论文、说明文类完形填空也要进行少量的练习。

　　【考点定位】2017考纲解读和近几年考点分布

　　说明文完形填空

　　说明文完形填空考查考生通篇把握全文，根据上下文的逻辑关系，综合运用所学语言基础知识,进行分析﹑推理﹑判断的能力和语篇分析理解能力。检测考生在阅读理解的基础上对英语语言知识综合运用的能力。

　　说明文是以“说明”为主要表达方式，用来说明情况、阐明事理的一种文体。它通过介绍情况、说明事物的特征，给人以正确思想或科学知识。

　　说明文完形填空一般的结构模式是：提出问题－发现直接原因－分析深层原因－得出结论或找到出路。考查学生对语言材料的理解能力、分析判断能力和逻辑思维能力。说明文的写作目的是授人以知，让人明白，说明文只是说明事物的特征，阐明原理，介绍知识。考生容易摸清文章线索，抓住主题。

　　议论型完形填空

　　分析近几年的高考试卷，我们不难看出高考完形填空的体裁以记叙文为主，但也有个别省市考查了议论文。

　　议论文是一种通过剖析事物或论述事理来提出主张或发表见解的文体。议论文分为两种，一种是夹叙夹议型，另一种是纯议论型。夹叙夹议型完形填空的基本模式是：作者首先叙述一件事，然后就此提出自己的见解或由此事引出一个深刻的社会问题。纯议论型完形填空的基本模式是：提出论点，列举论据，提出看法。

　　议论型完形填空有以下特点：

　　1、首句制胜，论点明确

　　议论型完形填空的首句常常是文章的主旨句。作者一般在文章的首段提出论点，然后在各段的首句提出分论点。

　　2、结构清晰，脉络有序

　　议论文的三要素为论点、论据和论证。论点和论据形成一体，相互印证。有时作者为了使文章脉络清楚，行文流畅，会使用一些连接词，如：on the contrary, all in all, in short, generally speaking, worse still, on the other hand, in conclusion, as a consequence等。

　　3、按一定的方法论证

　　议论型完形填空中的论点都是按一定的方法来论证的。常用的论证方法有：归纳法（分析个别事物，进而推断出这类事物的共同点，得出结论）；推理法（从原理出发，个别分析说明，得出结论）；对照法（正反对照，先分析说明，后得出结论）；驳论法 （阐述错误观点，逐条批驳，阐明观点）。

　　二、议论型完形填空的应试技巧

　　1、叙议有机结合

　　对于夹叙夹议型的完形填空要把叙和议有机地结合起来。有的考生没有注意到这一点，他们只顾选某一部分的答案，而没有注意到事件与论点之间的关系。

　　2 、遵循狠抓首句原则

　　对于议论型完形填空，在掌握全文主旨的情况下抓住每段的首句是做好试题的关键。一项调查表明，英语中60%到90%的议论文的主旨句都是段落的首句。抓住了每段的首句，再理解文章就容易多了。

　　3、 理清文章的论点、论据和结论

　　议论型完形填空与记叙型完形填空相比，稍微难了一些。一般来说，记叙文是按时间的先后顺序进行描述的，我们只要把握事件发生和发展的过程，就能将文章脉络把握好。然而议论型完形填空就不那么简单了，如果我们不清楚文章的论点、论据和结论，就只能莽撞地答题了，其结果可想而知。所以理清文章的论点、论据和结论是做好议论型完形填空的关键。

　　【考点pk】

　　名师考点透析

　　英语完形填空在考查语法、表达法、词语搭配的基础上重点考查对语篇同容的整体理解、前后的逻辑关系的把握。经反复研究完形填空原题后，我们发现主要有以下考点：

　　考点1. 考查语法规则

　　考查考生语法知识的运用能力。近年来完形填空中单纯考查语法知识的题一般不考，只是偶尔有个别考题。例如：

　　“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But l do have ______ when things come to me for no reason.”

　　A. events

　　B. chances

　　C. feelings

　　D. moments

　　【解析】由后面的when引导的定语从句可知，前面的先行词应是表时间的词，所以先moments。

　　考点2. 考查固定搭配

　　考查考生对常见的英语固定短语和习惯用法的掌握情况。如动词与名词的搭配；动词与介词或副词的搭配；介词与名词的搭配等。这类搭配在完形填空中时有出现。如：

　　I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them ______ the telephone.

　　A. with

　　B. by

　　C. from

　　D. on

　　【解析】表示“通过电话”交谈，说 on the telephone 或 by telephone，这是习惯搭配。

　　考点3. 考查词语辨析

　　考查考生在特定语境中区别近义词的能力。四个选项词性相同，意义相近，要求我们在特定的语境中区分它们之间的细微差别。一般说来，其中的两个选项容易排除，难辨的是两个。如：

　　Although I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his ______ qualities. First of all…

　　A. basic

　　B. special

　　C. common

　　D. particular

　　【解析】根据句意很容易排除A和C；难辨是的B和D。special强调“与众不同的”，而particular指“值得注意的”，故选B。

　　考点4. 考查行文逻辑

　　考查考生对上下文逻辑关系的理解，如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、增补关系、比较关系、对比关系等。四个选项都是表示文章的起承转合、上下连贯等逻辑关系的词语。如：

　　Once he ______ sang a song in class in order to make a point clear.

　　A. also

　　B. nearly

　　C. even

　　D. only

　　【解析】从上下文看为了使教学有趣易懂，这位哲学教授不仅仅会借助oil paintings, music, and guest lectures等方式，“甚至”(even)在课堂上唱歌也就顺理成章了。递进关系。

　　考点5. 考查经验常识

　　考查考生在日常的学习和生活中所积累的经验和基本常识，以及一些基本的科学常识。如：

　　But we run so much that, afterwards, we had trouble ______.

　　A. speaking

　　B. moving

　　C. sleeping

　　D. breathing

　　【解析】跑得太多，其结果当然是上气不接下气，即呼吸困难了，我们一般都会有这样的生活经历。

　　考点6.考查文章结构

　　考查考生对文章脉络层次的把握能力。如：

　　First of all: I respected his devotion to teaching... : I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside die the classroom or talk.. .Finally, I was attracted by his lively sense of humor.

　　A. Later B. Secondly C. However

　　D. Therefore

　　【解析】本文的写作结构很清楚。开篇点题一难忘的哲学教授；诸条陈述----何以难忘：前有First of all提起，后有Finally落脚，那么中间只有用Secondly来过渡了。

　　考点7. 考查逻辑推理

　　考查考生根据文意和所掌握的知识经验进行简单的逻辑推理来确定选项的能力。如：

　　He was reading my words out loud to the class…the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show ______, but what I was feeling was pure happiness…

　　A. shock

　　B. wonder

　　C. worry

　　D. pleasure

　　【解析】一个学生的作品被老师选中且在班上宣读时该会是怎样的心情?我们不难判断：愉快！

　　考点8. 考查前后语境

　　考查考生根据上下文提供的信息进行分析及推理的能力。完形填空题中绝大多数属这种题型。有的根据上文、有的根据下文、有的要上下文结合，甚至通篇看完并理解才能作出正确的选择。如：

　　“As a matter of fact, I’ve got someone in the office at this very moment who might ______.” She wrote down a number, and held it out to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”

　　A. hire

　　B. accept

　　C. suit

　　D. offer

　　【解析】根据下文，这个妇女告诉他第二天可以去上班了，可见，她认为作者是适合(suit)的。

　　1.【2016·上海】Reading Comprehension

　　Section A

　　    Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

　　In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively

　　51

　　work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.

　　In any case, despite so much evidence to the

　　52

　　, many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe,

　　53

　　, that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from

　　54

　　without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.

　　Different cultures have different ways of

　　55

　　people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to

　　56

　　to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general

　　57

　　. Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional

　　58

　　managers cannot.

　　A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without

　　59

　　managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing:

　　60

　　the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be

　　61

　　with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has

　　62

　　been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to

　　63

　　that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.

　　Another trend is off-site or

　　64

　　management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the

　　65

　　of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.

　　51. A. desire

　　B. seek

　　C. lose

　　D. dislike

　　52. A. contrary

　　B. expectation

　　C. degree

　　D. extreme

　　53. A. vice versa

　　B. for example

　　D. otherwise

　　54. A. outside

　　B. inside

　　C. below

　　D. above

　　55. A. replacing

　　B. assessing

　　C. managing

　　D. encouraging

　　56. A. refer

　　B. contribute

　　C. object

　　If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists.

　　51

　　, you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.

　　In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more

　　in people’s lives. The

　　Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be

　　. They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that

　　55

　　attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.

　　First Impression

　　To help determine the

　　56

　　of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to

　　57

　　what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.

　　As it turned out, their

　　58

　　judgments often held true. Students seemed to

　　Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling

　　61

　　to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as

　　62

　　as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.

　　Face Value

　　Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for

　　Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have

　　feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common

　　between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over

　　rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the

　　4

　　the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

　　The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different

　　to these problems. However, some approaches are more

　　than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but

　　clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s

　　Some adults spend a lot of time trying to stop children playing. They are usually people who think of play as being the    41    of work and therefore a waste of time. For humans, work is a way of getting food to eat, and like humans,    42    must spend time doing the    43    things. Regardless of this, children    44    playing, and so do other young animals. It is quite    45    to keep both a small child and a young cat    46    for hours with a piece of paper.

　　Hunting may be the most obvious skill    47    in play, but it is far from being the only one. Lambs and goat kids play    48   , although they will never    49    anything other than some grass. But for these young animals too,    50    is an important part of learning. Sheep and goats are    51   hill and mountain animals. Running and skipping exercise young legs and develop a strong sense of    52    that will keep them safe on the steepest rocks.   53    animals play, is not so different.    54    trees and catching flies are not the most obvious training for the adult world, but the flexibility    55    in these activities is similar to that required of a bus driver or businessman.

　　What we know about animals shows us that playing is a very good way of    56   , so maybe one of the best ways for    57    to learn is also by playing. Children find playing is fun, but    58   notice that they are also learning at the same time.

　　Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time

　　41

　　in many ways.

　　Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a

　　42 _

　　meaning to the event. It is not a

　　_ 43

　　to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day,

　　_ 44

　　he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that something is urgent and

　　45_

　　immediate attention.

　　The same meaning is

　　46 _

　　telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think it is a

　　_ 47

　　of life or death. The time chosen for the call

　　48_

　　its importance.

　　In social life, time plays a very

　　49 _

　　part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the

　　50 _

　　to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not

　　51 _

　　in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far

　　_52

　　because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be

　　53 ___ .

　　The meaning of time

　　54 _

　　from place to place in the world.

　　55

　　_, misunderstandings often arise between people from different cultures that

　　56 _

　　time differently. For example, promptness (准时) is

　　57_

　　greatly in American life. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as

　　58 _

　　or not fully responsible. In the US, no one would think of keeping a business partner

　　59 _

　　for an hour; it would be too rude. A person who is five minutes late is

　　Here You Grow Again

　　“You’re having problems? No problem.”That’s what I try to tell myself when I begin to feel overwhelmed. And then I____21____myself that the only people I am____22____ who don’t have____23____are gathered in peaceful neighborhoods. There is never a____24____, never a moment of stress to ruin a day. All is calm. Most____25____have at least one such worry-free zone. We call them cemeteries (墓地).

　　But if you’re still____26____, you have difficulties. It’s the way of life. And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be____27____for you than you think. Let me explain.

　　Maybe you have seen the Great Barrier Reef, ____28____some 1, 800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to____29____the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked a question. “I notice that the lagoon(浅水湖) side of the reef looks____30____and lifeless, while the ocean side is lively and colorful, ”a traveler observed. “____31____is this?”

　　The guide gave an interesting answer, “The coral(珊瑚) around the lagoon side is in___32____water, with no challenge for its survival. It____33____early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being____34____by wind, waves, storms—surges of power. It has to fight for____35____every day of its life. As it is challenged and tested it changes and____36____. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces.”Then he added this telling note, “That’s the way it is____37____every living organism.”

　　Like coral____38____by the sea, we grow. ____39____demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce strength and determination. Spiritual testing can produce ____40____of character and faithfulness.

　　5.【】The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems

　　4 1

　　.

　　The origin of the eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated（孕育）by

　　42

　　.In China, the mother river is the Yellow River,

　　43

　　the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were

　　44

　　for several thousand years and formed their own styles. Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture

　　45

　　went overseas to Japan,

　　4 6

　　into the Japanese society and

　　47

　　the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it

　　48

　　to the same system.

　　When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was

　　49

　　on the Mesopotamian Plain（米索不达米亚平原）

　　the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the

　　50

　　of the European culture.

　　51

　　the Chinese culture, the European one also

　　52

　　waters. When the colonists of England

　　53

　　in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't

　　54

　　from the European one a lot.

　　At the same time, the

　　55

　　of the language systems adds to the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic（象形文字的） languages while the Western languages are

　　56

　　based on the Latin system, for example, the one I'm using to write this paper.

　　Other factors like human race difference

　　57

　　as well. However,

　　Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify

　　21

　　a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are

　　22

　　of that parent. The things parents do and say---and the

　　23

　　they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's

　　24

　　. However, parents must consistently behave like the type of

　　25

　　they want their child to become.

　　A parent's actions

　　26

　　affect the self-image that a child forms

　　27

　　identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their

　　28

　　will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly

　　29

　　qualities in their parents will have difficulty

　　30

　　positive qualities in themselves. Children may

　　31

　　their self-image, however, as they become increasingly

　　32

　　by peers groups standards before they reach 13.

　　Isolated(孤立的) events,

　　33

　　dramatic(突然的) ones, do not necessarily have a permanent

　　34

　　on a child's

　　behavior. Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can,

　　35

　　, accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early

　　36

　　. But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events

　　37

　　a sign of rejection or punishment.

　　In the same way, all children are not influenced

　　38

　　by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs.

　　39

　　in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the

　　40

　　of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

　　You had better learn to be grateful. If you are grateful, you naturally

　　36

　　yourself up to receive all kinds of blessings and good things in life. You can receive almost everything you want

　　37

　　. If you want recovery soon, start by feeling grateful that you are still

　　38

　　. If it is more money that you want, start being grateful for whatever

　　39

　　of money you already have.

　　You see, showing gratitude(感恩) is the key to every

　　40

　　thing in life. It is the key to successful relationships, it is the key to successful futures and it is the key to

　　41

　　healthier and happier lives. And this is where the importance of being grateful lies.

　　42

　　, it makes life better.

　　One of my favorite

　　43

　　is “If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have, you will find yourself having more to appreciate.” Think about that!

　　Something as

　　44

　　as a “Thank you for being in my life” or “I

　　45

　　having you here with me”, can go a long way. It will make the other person feel good, and

　　46

　　it also will make you feel better!

　　So maybe your wife is not very

　　47

　　around the house, but she’s great at cooking your favorite

　　48

　　. Or, maybe your child

　　49

　　milk all over your new shirt right before you walked out the door for work, but usually he makes you laugh so much and makes you

　　50

　　the luckiest parent in the world.

　　I strongly

　　51

　　you to make a promise to yourself for the next week. Decide to

　　52

　　every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are

　　53

　　for. Then say them out loud. You will notice a smile on your face without even

　　54

　　. In 30 days you will feel completely renewed. This is the

　　55

　　of being grateful!

　　What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed? Why do they the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they

　　37

　　when others sink?

　　The answer is very simple. It’s all in

　　38

　　they perceive their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem-free life is an

　　39

　　, or a mirage in the desert. Accept that fact.

　　Every mountain has a

　　40

　　. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs. No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time. Problems do end. They are all

　　41

　　in time.

　　You may not be able to control the times, but you can

　　42

　　your response. You can turn your pain into cursing, or into

　　43

　　. The choice is up to you. You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will

　　44

　　it. 

　　For instance, what is the positive reaction to a terrible financial

　　45

　　? In this situation would it be the positive reaction to cop out and run away?

　　46

　　through alcohol, drug, or suicide? No! Such negative reactions only

　　47

　　greater problems by promising a

　　48

　　solution to the pressing problem. 

　　The positive solution to a problem may require courage to

　　49

　　it. When you control your reaction to the

　　50

　　un-controllable problem of life, then in fact you do control the problem’s effect on you. Your reaction to the problem is the last word! That’s the bottom line. What will you let this problem do to you? It can make you tender or tough. It can make you better or bitter. It all

　　51

　　you.

　　In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so

　　52

　　they’ve chosen to react positively to their

　　53

　　. Tough times never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick it

　　54

　　. History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan. No problem is

　　55

　　. Storms always give way to the sun. Winter always thaws into springtime. Your storm will pass. Your winter will defrost. Your problem will be solved.

　　There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for happiness but what they got was only annoyance, grief and misery.

　　So they

　　Socrates for advice on where happiness

　　42

　　. But

　　43

　　giving any answers, Socrates asked them to help with building a

　　44

　　first. The group of guys had to

　　45

　　the task, laying aside their own business of seeking happiness. It took them a long time to cut down a tall tree, gouging out (挖空) the center. Through painstaking effort, they made a canoe out of the tree. They launched the canoe into a river, and then

　　46

　　together in it, singing with

　　47

　　.

　　Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus: “We

　　48

　　be happier!” Socrates

　　49

　　, “That’s it!

　　50

　　you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”

　　From the story I got to know that happiness

　　51

　　hides behind every tiny thing that you are involved in, and that you may only get pleasure through

　　52

　　work and creativity.

　　We may have to

　　53

　　pain in our daily life and in the process of

　　54

　　happiness. Sometimes we tend to look for happiness in

　　55

　　things, like a new car, clothes, etc. True long term happiness, however, comes from within our

　　56

　　and spirit. So why not turn suffering into

　　57

　　life, and

　　58

　　tears into the light in your heart? Only in this way can we make it through and find true happiness.

　　So my dear friends, just remember happiness is a state of mind and a matter of

　　59

　　, and I

　　60

　　you all a life of happiness.
