完形填空

一、解題策略指導

完形填空(Clozetest)是初中英語試題中必考題型。完形填空主要測試學生在具體語言環(huán)境中對文章的篇

章結(jié)構(gòu)、中心思想、推理判斷、詞語辨析、習慣用法、固定搭配等方面的能力要求，及對所學英語的綜合運用能

力、快速閱讀理解能力及邏輯推理判斷能力等。這種題型歸納起來有如下特點：

1.在整份試卷中所占的分值較重，占10—15%,短文長度一般在130—200個單詞左右。

2.降低了對單詞本身的考查要求，重點考查考生對短文的整體理解，上下文的段落銜接，情理分析及推理

判斷能力。

3.針對初中學生的實際水平，一般采用故事類、說明類短文，盡量避免專業(yè)性太強的文章或論文體。近年

來出現(xiàn)了以意義選擇為主、語法選擇逐漸減少的趨勢。

完形填空有多種形式，但它在基本設計原則上都是一致的。形式都是從短文中抽去若干個詞或短語，讓考生

根據(jù)上下文填入適當?shù)脑~或短語，為了有助于考生填入適當?shù)脑~，可以提供四個答案(其中包括一個正確答案)，

讓考生選出正確的答案；從所給的單詞中，選擇適當?shù)脑~并用其正確形式填空；也可以給出單詞首字母作提示將

短文補全；也可以不給考生提供任何線索，完全憑借考生對文章的理解和現(xiàn)有的語言能力完成。最常見的還是選

擇型的完形填空。

抽詞的辦法可以是有針對性地抽取，也可以是隨機地抽取。但目前比較流行的是對文章理解能力的考查，而

不是單純對語法結(jié)構(gòu)的考查。

完形填空要求考生不僅要會運用自己學過的詞匯和語法知識妥善地處理好每個單句，理解語義，還要處理好

單句之間以及單句與全文之間的內(nèi)在關系，選出適當?shù)脑~填上，使文章完整與通順。

完形填空題要求填入的詞主要有：構(gòu)成各種時態(tài)和用法區(qū)別的動詞及短語動詞；名詞和介詞；根據(jù)上下文

意思及結(jié)構(gòu)必須填入的形容詞、副詞、代詞和連詞；同義詞、近義詞等易混詞?？疾橐詫嵲~為主，兼顧虛詞和語

法結(jié)構(gòu)。難點主要集中在根據(jù)上下文作正確判斷的詞的用法上。

在做完形填空題時，通常先弄清語境，并依據(jù)上下文進行合理的分析、判斷，才能作出恰當?shù)倪x擇。具體可

分為以下三步：

1.通覽全文，了解大意

答題時，應先越過空檔，通讀全文，理順題意，找出信息詞。這是做好完形填空題的關鍵。因為完形填空的

特點是著眼于整體理解。我們?nèi)绻讯涛谋茸鳝h(huán)環(huán)相扣的鏈條，那么由于空格的設置，“鏈條”從第二句起有些

地方就脫節(jié)了。有些同學習慣于提筆就填或邊讀邊填，急于求成，然而，欲速則不達，結(jié)果往往由于“只見樹木

不見森林”而事倍功半。因此我們應該依據(jù)首句給的啟示，通過邏輯思維，借助短文中關鍵詞所提供的信息，越

過空檔，盡快把全文讀完，建立語言的整體感，幫助我們了解短文大意。

2.綜合考慮，先易后難

通覽全文后，認真觀察選項，瞻前顧后，仔細推敲，逐項選定。經(jīng)過通讀全文，對短文有了整體印象。在此

基礎上，可以根據(jù)全文大意，展開邏輯思維，分析這一空格處在句中的地位，前后的關系和它所起的作用，確定

最佳答案。遇到困難，暫放一邊，先易后難，這是解題之道。當遇到難以判斷的空檔時，不妨先放一邊，繼續(xù)往

下做。因為有些答案是必須通過下文的理解后才能作出斷定的。有時，前后信息之間還有相互提示作用。因此，

當我們遇到難題時，不能久久停留于此，這樣會浪費不必要的時間。

3.復讀檢驗，消除疏漏

完成所有空檔后，還要再次通讀全文，看看這時的短文行文是否流暢，意義是否連貫，邏輯關系是否合理。

復查時，可從語法入手，檢查一下句子的時態(tài)、主謂一致、代詞的性、數(shù)、格以及詞語的搭配等是否正確。凡遇

疑點，必須根據(jù)文章的中心思想，從意義、語法的角度來仔細權(quán)衡，加以改正，彌補疏漏。

9.A.goB.workC.likeD.come

10.A.helpB.helpingC.helpsD.helpful

首先，通覽全文。通過通覽全文，便知本文講述許多人學習英語。學習英語的人年齡不同，目的各異。其次，

本著先易后難的原則開始填空，先根據(jù)上下文和自己的語感，推測部分空格的可能答案。然后，再結(jié)合選項逐一

敲定。

1.選Bosome...other(s)...意思是“一些..另一些(泛指)”；some...theother(s)...意思是“一些另一些(特

指)”。由語境可知，在學英語的學生中，除一部分是孩子外，剩余的是青年人(特指)。

2.選A。根據(jù)上下文可知是English。

3.選Bo由文章內(nèi)容來看，人們學習英語的原因多種多樣，因此回答為什么那么多人學習英語這個問題并

不容易。

4.選D。由常識可知，English是學生學習的科目Gubject)之一。

5.選B。根據(jù)前后文意可知許多人學習英語，那是因為English在他們的工作中很有用(useful)。

6.選A。本題屬于介詞用法辨析。介詞for在此可表示目的、原因。

7.選A。inEnglish是習慣搭配。

8.選D?！白x報”英語習慣說readnewspapers。

9.選Bo根據(jù)語境及句子結(jié)構(gòu)，有些人學習英語或想出國(gotoacountry)或想在這些國家工作(workina

country)o

10.選D。末句點題，”英語在我們生活中是很有幫助的(helpful)”。

最后，復讀檢驗。將所有答案代入空格后，重新將短文復讀一遍，如果語句通順，語意清楚，便結(jié)束本題，

轉(zhuǎn)做其它試題。

最后須提醒大家一點，做好完形填空題并非一日之功。我們應從平日學習中做起，多積累，勤學苦練，方可

成功！

本文是向考生介紹一個特殊的日子BuyNothingDay,因此第1空應填calledo既然是BuyNothingDay,

那就應該是不讓人們“購物(goshopping)"?第3空考查常識，BuyNothingDay的日期是November29,應該在

Thanksgiving之后，故此空白處應填after?！翱匆姀V告”通常應在報紙上或電視上，因此第4空白處應填newspapers?

結(jié)合文意可知第5空白處應填寫一個動詞，并且能用動詞不定式作復合賓語,此動詞應是tell,此處應用“動詞-ing”

形式，即telling。第6空白處所在的句子是介紹BuyNothingDay的起源，是過去的事情，應用started。現(xiàn)在，

世界各地也像慶祝其他節(jié)日一樣來慶祝BuyNothingDay,因此第7個空白處應填寫celebrate(慶祝)。第8空白

處應填parents與children對應。第9空白處應填together與動詞get構(gòu)成gettogether短語，意思是“團聚”。第10

空白處應填why來澄清“theydon'tneedalotoftoys”的原因。
