完型填空试题主要特点
高考完型填空通常从一篇250词左右,夹叙夹议的文章中设空20个,首句不挖空.没有严格遵循答题步骤:很多考生一拿到完形填空题就急于选择答案,不认真分析通篇文章,单纯求快,忽略语篇理解,只看局部的词义辨析、搭配和语法结构。表面上解题速度挺快,但是这种见树不见林的做法只会影响解题的质量和效率。
正确的完形填空的解题步骤
细读首句,跳过空格,通读全文, 把握大意.结合选项,综合考虑,初定答案.瞻前顾后,先易后难, 个个击破.再读全文,反复检查.
细读文章的第一句话:
高考完形填空选文的第一句话通常是完整的。该句往往就是主题句(Topic Sentence),这就为我们理解文章的内在联系提供了一个“窗口”,它的句意往往为全文提供中心信息,能直接概括全文大意、揭示主题。
充分重视首句的标示作用,利用它为解题找到一个突破口,据此展开思维,争取开局胜利。
对于叙事,描述类文章。短文的首句,往往点明故事发生的人物(who),时间(when),地点(where),和事件(what)等背景情况。例:
It was a busy morning,about 8:30,when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital .
对于论述文,首句表明了论述的主题。起到揭示主题的作用。例如:
A man who knows how to write a personal letter has a very powerful tool. A letter can be enjoyed, read and 21 .
