第1模块 完形填空 模块导读(5)
探究点四 句子、句组和语篇的层次
完形填空题设空的答案有的由一个句子决定, 有的由相邻不远的一组句子决定, 还有的由语篇内容综合决定。因此, 完形填空设空分为句子层次、句组层次和语篇层次。设空的难度, 从句子层次到句组层次, 再到语篇层次, 依次递增。
1.句子层次
完形填空的设空答案由一个句子决定。其所提供的四个选项往往在语法上都能成立, 但从语境来看, 却只有一个选项是最合适的。
例1 I could hardly wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to ________ the coffee, tea and morning goodies.
A.start
B.Cook C.set
D.serve
【解析】 A cook(烹调)与后面的宾语coffee和tea不搭配, 它可以与breakfast搭配;set(摆放),serve(端饭菜)都必须有服务对象, 通过对全段的理解可知我一早就去厨房,此时家里其他人都还没起床; start(开始动手)正说明一开始的情况。
例2 For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, hoping that the couple would finally become ________ and go away.
A.surprised B.disappointed
C.worried
D.troubled
【解析】 B 根据句子中的took no notice和go away可以判断出答案。
例3 I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a“________”, or...
A.Cry
B.Laugh
C.Chat
D.Sigh
【解析】 B 根据“Funny”可以判断出答案。
2.句组层次
完形填空题有的设空仅仅根据一个句子往往解决不了问题, 必须联系上下句, 甚至更多的句子才能得出答案。有的试题需要考生越过句子, 甚至是段落来进行理解和推断。句组层次的题型, 比句子层次的在难度上提高了。
例4 And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream. I made my __1__ to start my own company and leave my secure position after
__2__ a regional sales meeting. The vicepresident of our company delivered a __3__ that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a god?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.
1.A.plan B.Promise C.decision
D.mind
2.A.attending
B.Joining C.entering
D.holding
3.A.newspaper
B.Book C.report
D.speech
【解析】 1.C 从空后的to start my own company and leave my secure(无忧无虑的) position我们知道这是作者作出的“决定”。
2.A 从空后的a regional sales meeting 我们知道作者是参加会议。
3.D 从He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” 以及后文我们知道, 他作的是一个“演讲”, 而不是作报告。
3.语篇层次
完形填空的设空答案若从单句或局部来分析, 所给的四个答案在语法或结构上都是正确的, 若统观全篇, 则只有一个是正确的。语篇层次是完形填空命题的较高层次, 这个层次的题难度较大, 做题时需要具备很强的阅读理解能力以及逻辑推理、分析判断的能力。
例5
Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program.You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world.Well, I’m here to give you ________ .
...
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still exists and lives even in the everchanging world of me, me, me! I thought you’d love to share this story.
A.hope
B.Advice C.support
D.courage
Yours,
Hilary
【解析】 A You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world.这句话正体现作者要说明的中心是unselfish love(无私的爱), 而信的结尾又作了肯定回答that kind of love still exists and lives even in the everchanging world of me, me, me!首尾呼应, 中心明确。把握住这个中心, 对选出正确选项极有帮助。本小题在第一段中体现出对全文的概括, 文中的you持怀疑态度, 作者当然不可能support(支持)、courage(鼓励);advice(劝告)是在对方没主意的情况下发出的;hope(希望)正是针对怀疑而来, 作者在下文中用事实给you以“希望”, 打消you的怀疑。
例6 Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the________ and have made up their minds to ring the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run day and night through the narrow High Street.
...
“Not really,” she said, “actually we are proper bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church...I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.”
A.college B.village
C.town D.church
【解析】 D 该题答案提示一直到最后(I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church...I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.)才出现, 答案选D。
阅读理解--------
Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”
In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.
Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.
Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.
11. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.
A. loss
B. wonder
C. lucky thing
D. terrible thing
12. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.
A. he was a man difficult to please
B. she never knew when he was coming
C. she was too busy looking after her children
D. he never stayed long enough for a meal
13. What do we know about James’ behavior?
A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.
B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.
C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.
D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.
14. Maggie felt pleased when _______.
A. she paid James the money that she owed him
B. James gave some money to the children
C. she had to wake James up to catch his train
D. James thanked her for the nice supper
15. The children did not realize that two of James’ wives _______.
A. had been dead
B. suffered from loss of memory
C. had run away from him
D. might appear again one day
【答案与解析】
本文讲Maggie和她的孩子们对他们的叔叔James来访的不欢迎。
11. C。词义猜测题。Maggie不喜欢James的来访, 由此可以说他不常来是一件幸运的事,所以答案为C。
12. B。事实细节题。根据 In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly可知答案为B。
13. D。推理判断题。根据 except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her可知他对Maggie的态度不是很友好,故答案为D。
14. B。推理判断题。根据 Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction可知答案为B。
15. A。推理判断题。根据 They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies可知答案为A。
