近年来的完形填空试题在选项的设置上越来越淡化语法结构,重在文意的干扰,即把具体的语言知识溶进具体的语言情景中去,考查考生通过上下文的前后提示或暗示,对整体文意进行把握的能力。这种考查方式所占的比例较大,且难度也大,若单纯从句子或个别段落来分析,或许所给的四个答案在语法和结构上都是正确的,若放在全局,则不一定正确。但是有些同学往往从单个句子或者单个空去考虑,而忽略了文章的主题和大意对选项的要求。 例如: I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 1 and the same time feeling lonely. Worse still, Dad 2 a step and fell, sending my new suitcase 3 down the stairs. 1. A. helpless B. lazy C. anxious D. tired 2. A. took B. minded C. missed D. picked
在近几年中考完形填空中,在文章在题目设置上相似项增多,迷惑选项较强,考生不能通过寻找上下文隐含信息,感受语境,不能采用比较和排除等技巧找出符合题意的最佳选项,特别是在词汇搭配和语义辨析两个方面,不能将词语辨析与情节推理和逻辑推理结合起来,不能从词汇意义入手,抓住情节线索解决问题而出现错误。 例如:He gets as nervous as I do, but somehow 1 in his seat and keeps 2 . He wants to?, but he is different.
1. A. rocks B. jumps C. swings D. trembles 2. A. quiet B. still C. laughing D. crying 〔解析〕这段文字描绘了父亲在观看儿子比赛时的紧张心情,但又不想影响儿子的比赛,故而在椅子上直摇晃(rocks in his seat),又不敢像其他观众一样大声喊叫,只能保持沉默(keep silent)。而有的同学在做题时,对相近词使用的正确语境一知半解,常简单地从中文释义出发做出选择而出现错误。
4. 不能利用生活常识和文化背景知识进行推理。
完形填空往往以自身的内容提供完整的语篇信息,其间交织渗透者各类相关的文化背景知识和生活常识及灵活运用该方面知识的能力。解决这类题目,有的同学不能结合自己的知识和生活经历去选择,只能理解句子的表层意义,不能弄清短文的深层意义,因此出现错误。 例如: It was an early morning in summer. In the streets, sleepy-eyed people were moving quickly, heading towards their 1 . This was the beginning of another 2 day in New York City.
1. A. jobs B. homes C. buses D. offices
2. A. working B. hot C. same D. ordinary 〔解析〕:从信息词“early morning”和“sleepy-eyed”来判断,B. homes不符合逻辑,按生活经验,他们是去上班。这时有些考生也许会认为,既然上班,就要去“挤公交车”或“去办公室”。但上班的方式也有步行的、骑车的或坐地铁的,也有自己开车去的。人们上
