摘 要:初中英語試卷中,完形填空題占一定的比例。這個題不難,但是很多學生得分卻不理想。在教學過程中,經過多次實踐,總結了以下幾點,與大家分享。
關鍵詞:通讀 推測 技巧
依據《義務教育英語課程標準》的要求,完形填空題在中考中分為兩節(jié),第一節(jié)側重對學生語法知識的掌握和運用能力的考查,第二節(jié)注重對學生整體理解能力的考查,尤其對思維能力在較高層次(如聯(lián)想、推理、歸納等)上進行檢測。難度較大、綜合性較強,完全考查學生的語言理解水平和駕馭能力??梢哉f,完形填空題解答的好壞是決定學生英語成績高低的關鍵,然而學生如何才能在中考中取得高分?技巧又有哪些呢?從教十幾年來,結合《中考說明》,無論是給學生答疑解惑,還是平時在課堂上講解習題,主要從語法角度和短語詞組角度去做題,再聯(lián)系上下文結合生活常識,考慮語境,得出答案。如愚公移山
Once upon a time,there was a very old man called Yu Gong.He lived with his family in a village and there were two big and__1_mountains near his house.They spend a long time__2_to the other side.
1.A short B thin C high D long
2.A get B to get C got D getting
在做第2個題時,我們觀察句中包含spend+時間或金錢+(in)doing something,根據詞組,所以答案無疑應該是D。而第一題結合常識為"高大的山”,所以選C。
One day,Yu Gong told his family that they must move the mountains to other places.__3__this,everyone in his family was laughing at him.One of his sons said,”Are you kidding?””No,Im serious and all of you must do it with me.”Everyone was__4_at that time.They really dont want to do it,but they have to do because the oldest man in his family was__5__important person at that time.
3.A Seeing B Doing C Hearing D Watching
4.A silent B tired C thirsty D exciting
5.A most B the most C more D much more
在做第3題和第4題時,聯(lián)系上下文考慮語境,應該是“聽到這個”,得出答案C。同樣的方法做第4題“每個人都沉默了”故選A。而第5題我們應該想到這位老人是家里最重要的人,考查的是最高級,所以選B。
The next day everyone in Yu Gongs family started to dig the mountains.They put the stones and the earth___6_the sea.One day a man saw Yu Gong and his children__7_the mountains.He told Yu Gong he would never finish it.But Yu Gong said though he was__8_would die,his family could continue to move the mountains.Then they kept on digging day after day and year after year.
6.A.on B to C up D into
7.A dug B digging C to dig D dig
8.A healthy B well C strong D weak
第6題根據短語put into,故選D;而第7題考查詞組see somebody doing something.故答案為B。在做第8題時我們應該結合現實,老人年邁體弱,將要死亡,所以選D。
Finally a god was so moved by Yu Gong__9_he sent two gods to help Yu Gong move the mountains away.
The story_10__us that you can never know whats possible unless you try to make it happen.
9.A that B who C which D whether
10.A reminded B to remind C reminds D reminding
我們觀察到第9題包含so...that句型,考查語法,所以選A,而第10題考查remind的過去式,動詞不定式,單三式和動名詞形式,“故事提醒我們一個道理”應該是一般現在時。所以選C.
需要強調的是我們在做題的時候,往往是語法和短語詞組穿插進行的,這就要求學生熟練掌握所學的知識點。另外,文章中,句與句之間、段與段之間緊密相連、渾然一體。因此,經常會出現前面的信息為后面的內容提供暗示,而后面的信息也有可能為前面提供答案。這時,同學們切不可僅盯所填部分,而要聯(lián)系上下文,尋求信息以確定答案。如
The Readers is a popular TV show.It invites different people to read aloud on the stage.The_____also tells the moving stories behind those people.
A show B lesson C research D play
前面談到《朗讀者》是一個流行的電視節(jié)目,后面給出空格,“這個節(jié)目也告訴了我們那些人背后感人的故事”。要求同學們在翻譯的基礎上根據語境得出答案,所以應選A。又如:
President Roosevelt was a great hunter.One day,he travelled in Mississippi.Some people took him to go hunting.Things were not going well and President Roosevelt hunted nothing.Someone had an idea.He caught a bear and tied it to the tree for President Roosevelt to_____.The bear looked very helpless and tired,so Roosevelt refused to shoot it.
A catch B tie C shoot D take
這個題我們由最后一句“因此羅斯福總統(tǒng)拒絕射擊它”,推測出前面“它把熊綁到樹上”應該是讓“羅斯福總統(tǒng)去射擊。”得出答案C.
每篇完形填空10道題,其中有1~2道題的難度較大,學生們在短時間內很難確定答案。此時,學生應該在讀完全文后,集中精力,結合語境,反復推敲,對其進行分析、綜合,作出決定。
詞不離句,句不離篇。同學們在做完形填空時至少應把全文通讀三遍,把握文章主旨,從句子語境出發(fā),抓住關鍵詞,考慮所學語法,短語詞組,根據文章的中心、結合上下文的意思,推測空白處的意思,然后選出合乎語境的選項。
