耶鲁专升本英语完形填空

耶鲁专升本公共英语完形填空技巧完形填空解题策略 完形填空是考查语言知识和语篇水平的综合测试方式, 是在一篇题材熟悉. 难度中等的短文中留20 个空白, 每个空白为一题, 每题共有四个选项。要求考生具有一定的阅读理解能力,扎实的语法知识,同时对各类词法、句法、上下文逻辑关系、语义搭配以及写作技巧等还需具有较强的运用能力。选择完形填空与单句选择填空在形式上相似,但考查的内容却包括词汇、语法、阅读和写作等各方面的应用能力。 一、完形填空与其它测试手段之间的关系 1 .完形填空与词汇、语法填空 大学英语三级考试完形填空所采用的形式与词汇语法选择填空的形式是一致的。在测试要点上,完形填空与词汇语法选择填空也有很大相似之处,如单词的基本用法、同义词近义词辨别、常用句型、各种从句、谓语动词的时态、语态、语气、以及非谓语动词的用法等等. 完形填空中对词汇,语法的考查,其干扰项的设计与单项填空基本类似,但完形填空对上下文的依赖性更强。这就要求同学们不只是了解词汇和语法知识,同时还必须具备一定的阅读理解能力,对上下文的正确理解是完形填空的关键。 2 .完形填空与阅读理解 完形填空是根据对文章的理解,依据一定的语言语篇知识将句子中所缺部分补全,使句子正确,使文章通顺连贯。虽然完形填空并没有对文章的主题拟定、细节判断和事情因果推理的考查题,但同样要求考生能把握文章的主题,同样必须理解文章的细节,进行必要的推理、判断。只有在正确理解文章的基础上,才能根据意思的需要,补足缺少的部分。正确理解全文是做好完形填空的前提,但仅靠理解能力是不够的。完形填空最终考查的是正确表达思想的能力。也就是说,做好完形填空还需要一定的写作能力。 3 .完形填空与写作 完形填空是使考生通过阅读有空缺的短文,利用自己的语言、语篇等方面的知识使短文的结构和意思恢复完整。阅读使考生获取对短文信息的了解,写作则帮助考生恢复短文结构和意思的完整性。 不同的体裁,不同的主题,其语段写作模式不同,有举例、有列举、有比较对照、有因果分析。根据语段的结构模式把握短文写作的思路,预测文章的发展,从而为解题找出依据。 写作的基本原则是:文章结构完整、内容统一、语意连贯、语言简洁,其中词语的同现、复现手段以及衔接语的使用,是文章结构得以完整、语意得以连贯、逻辑得以明了的主要手段,而完形填空中对此也有相当部分的考查。衔接的手法很多,它们是文章必不可少的纽带,同时也是完形填空常常考查的题点。掌握应有的写作技能将有助于完形填空能力的提高。 二、大学英语三级完形填空测试要点 从干扰项的设计来看,近几年完形填空大体有以下特点: 1 .搭配题 ( 1 )名词与介词的搭配, ( 2 )形容词和介词的搭配 ( 3 )动词与介词的搭配, ( 4 )动词和名词的搭配, ( 5 )副词与分词的搭配, 这些都是常用的固定搭配, 考生只要平时多加注意,在考试中便可轻松应对。 2 .短语 另外一类比较简单的选项为短语,这些也大都是约定俗成的, 3 .上下文线索 名词、动词、形容词的选择题中,大多情况下是四个选项没有任何联系,语义差别也比较大,选择时需根据上下文进行语意方面的判断,多数情况下,上下文中有同现和复现现象,考生应注意利用这些提示。 三、完形填空解题技巧 完形填空中对词的考查以实词为主,如形容词、动词、副词等。其中有相当一部分词汇题中各个选项之间并无大的联系。这类题要求考生应从上下文的语义入手,根据各选项单词的意思和结构进行选择。 1 .注意动词自身的结构功能 对动词来说,一般从两点设干扰项,一是动词的结构功能,如能不能接宾语,接什么样的宾语,能不能接复合宾语;二是上下文的语义要求。有相当部分选择题考生只从结构上就可做出正确的判断。 2 .注意分析动词所包含的肯定/ 否定含义与上下文的关系 在做动词选择题时,除观察动词自身的结构功能之外,还应注意其语义特点,比如,有的单词含有肯定含义,有的却有否定的含义。考生可借助这一特点,分析具体的上下文。 学位英语完形填空解题方法1 做这项题型时,不能争于求成,而要经过一定的训练,掌握一定的答题技巧,才能达到事半功倍的效果。为了能在完形填空中获得优异成绩,除了具备比较扎实的语言基础知识和一定的综合运用基础知识能力,还必须掌握一定的解题步骤和技巧。 第一,快速通读全文,掌握短文主旨大意在答题时,不要急于看选项、找答案,应通篇浏览短文,掌握文中时间、地点、人物及事件,即who,when, where, what。短文开头的第一、二句通常是主题句,或是告诉考生文章所要讲的主要内容是什么。完形填空首句一般不预留空白,因此认真阅读短文开头的第一、二句,有利于学生准确地预测和推断短文的主旨。 第二,在理解的基础上,边读边答题。要按文章的先后顺序,对每道题所给词语的确切含义进行分析比较。答题时必须先易后难,先做最有把握、最熟悉的短语、惯用法、动词形式和语言结构的题目,并考虑到全文整体意境的影响,做到瞻前顾后,上下文呼应,运用逻辑思维,推理的方式来进行答题。切不可自行断意,顾此失彼。 第三,借助自己已补全的那些空缺,再细读全文,此时对全文意思的理解程度会更清楚。一篇文章是一个整体,有它独立的内容,结构与逻辑联系,不能单从局部的词义和语法来理解,应从全文内容出发不断深入理解,这样就为在解决那些少数疑难问题排除了在逻辑意义上易选错的选项。先看看哪些词语意义与文章不符,然后综合运用词汇、句型、语法等知识反复地字斟句酌,排除明显错误,缩小选择范围,得出符合逻辑的正确答案。 下面以一篇短文为例,与大家谈谈如何做好“完形填空”题。 College and university graduations in the United States are arriving earlier and earlier each year as the average length of school year gets shorter. The school year has fallen by nearly six weeks, from 191 days in 1964 to 156 days in 1994, according to the National Association of Scholars. ? 1 most American kindergarten, elementary(初等的)and high school students are 2to spend 180 days a year in their schools. The length of the average class period also has 3, from more than 57 minutes to less that 54, the Association reports. “The 4has to that students are simply 5less, ”said the director of the Association.“If you count the actual 6of contact hours, you'll find they are 7four years in college getting an education that would have taken about 8years in 1964.” The universities argue(认为)that they are simply teaching more 9.“The traditional idea that learning 10 in the classroom and through reading and writing 11based on seat time is out of date, ”said a spokesman for the American Council on Education. 12than attending lectures, students now chat with their professors on their computers or use other types of 13technology, allowing for a shorter school year, he said.“It is very (adj)14that, in many schools, they are going to spend less time 15than they used to.‖ 1.A.By comparison B.In particular C.Strangely enough D.As a result 2.A.intended B.required C.requested D.inquired 3.A.fallen B.declined C.oppressed D.lowered 4.A.reason B.cause C.conclusion D.condition 5.A.playing B.learning C.working D.paying 7.A.spending B.given C.living D.asked 8(C).A.five B.two C.three D.six 9.A.quickly B.thoroughly C.wisely D.efficiently 10.A.came B.took place C.started D.appeared 11(C).A.questions B.books C.assignments D.texts 12.A.Rather B.More C.Less D.Easier 13.A.knowledge B.information C.message D.intelligence 14(D).A.possibly(adv)B.probably(adv) C.lovely D.likely 15.A.at home B.in the laboratory C.in the classroom D.on computer 1.A[分析] 这是一个固定短语。意思是“比较起来, 较之”。 2.B[分析] 短语require sb. to do sth. 意思是“命令、要求某人做某事”, 这一短语经常用被动语态, 而短语request sb. to do sth. 是“请求某人做某事”。 3.A[分析] 这句话的意思是“平均课时的长度减少了。”fall为不及物动词, 而lower为及物动词, 应该用被动式。 4.C[分析] 此处意思是结论。 5.B[分析] 根据上文得知由于课时缩短, 所以得出结论:学生学得少。 6.A[分析] 根据句意, 此处为数量。 7.A[分析] 表示“度过……时间”, 应该选择spend。 8.C[分析] 根据上下文意思得知, 在1964年, 课时和学期同1994年比较, 前者要长, 通过对比应该选C。 9.D[分析] 根据文章大意, 这种教学很有效果。 10.B[分析] 这里take place的意思是“进行”之意。而C答案应该用被动式。 11.C[分析] 此处意思是“作业”。 12.A[分析] rather than是固定短语。 13.B[分析] 此处意思是“学生们不用上课, 可以通过电脑或者使用别的信息知识与教授交谈。 14.D[分析] 此处根据语法结构要求, 须用形容词, 而句意要求考生应用此选项。 15.C[分析] 通过文章大意, 应该选此答案。 总之,要提高完形填空的解题能力,除了掌握以上基本步骤和方法外,还是要以文章为纲,按照文章情节的发展顺序,以句义为小整体,灵活地运用所学的语言基础知识,仔细的字斟句酌,反复推敲。如选择名词时,应联系文章的主题及空格前后重复出现的词,注意它的数和性,选择动词时,不但要注意其所表示的意义及其惯用法,而且还注意所给动词的时态、语态,选择连词时,要注意分析文章中前后句和上下文的逻辑关系,选择代词时,要注意它的性、数、格是否准确,选择介词时,必须注意其固定搭配等等。然而,还必须增加阅读量,实践量,不断总结经验,培养语感掌握技巧,提高解题的准确性,达到事半功倍学位英语完形填空解题方法2 一.为什么认为完形填空是一种比较难的题型? 1.完形填空是一种综合性很强的题型,它全面考查学生英语基础知识和综合运用语言的能力,其中包括识词能力、阅读能力、理解能力和进行逻辑推理和判断的能力。 2.完形填空要求在四个选项中确定一个最佳答案,其它三个是干扰项。这三个干扰项通常不一定是错误的,而是不适合其所在语篇的特定的语言环境。近年的完形填空题越来越偏重对学生识词能力的考查。学生只有明确每个选项所表达的意义,才能找出最佳的选项(当然,也存在排除法的科学使用)。 3.完形填空所考查的内容多集中在名词、动词、形容词和副词等实词上。学生选择答案时,要结合文章中出现的具体人物或事件,根据文章所提供的时间、地点和语境去 体会 针灸治疗溃疡性结肠炎昆山之路icu常用仪器的管理名人广告失败案例两会精神体会 人物的动作和情感,只有这样才能作出正确的判断。 二.做完形填空题应从哪些方面入手? 1.首先要以很快的速度浏览全文,掌握文章的主旨,不要急于看选项。浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、事件,即who,when, where, what。完形填空命题的原则一般是第一句话不挖空,目的是使读者进入语境;因此一定要认真阅读这句话。例如: Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next? 这句话从铁轨之间的缝隙引出了问题。根据常识,文中内容应与热涨冷缩的物理现象有关。 It was my uncle who taught me how to box. 这是一个强调句。句子强调了uncle(而非他人)teach me how to box. Ella Fant was a middle-aged lady who lived with her only son John in a small house. 这里应注意对Ella Fant 的两点描述:一是middle-aged. 二是lived with her only son. 按照常理,她会对独生子非常钟爱。 2.根据故事情节的发展选词,确定所填的词与文中哪个词有关系以及动作是在什么场合发生的。 3.试填之后将所选定的词放到文章中复读检查。(“字面译、通逻辑、搞代入、全文译”) 三.具体操作中应注意的问题 1.“看清上下文,找准定位词” 充分利用文章的上下文和前后句,找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可 能是同义词或反义词。例如: 1)Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very, very_____. A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous 根据转折连词but的提示,所填入的词应与shallow相反,因此答案为A。 2)Mrs O’Neill asked_____ questions, and she didn’t scold us either. A. no B. certain C. many D. more and 是一个并列连词;either为副词,用在否定句或否定词后加强语势,由此可 以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词,因此答案是A。 2.“通顺逻辑,寻求搭配” 注意固定的搭配,包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的 搭配等,同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。例如: 1)Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself_____ so much money. A. for B. by C. to D. of 表示“自取,随便拿”这个意义的短语是help oneself to…,故答案为C。 2)It was 4 o’clock when the front doorbell rang. Mrs Clarke was_____ tea at the time. A. cooking B. making C. burning D. serving “沏茶”的英语表达是make tea, 答案为B。 3)Behind the dancer there was a woman______ a large diamond ring. A. carrying B. dressing C. wearing D. holding 表示“穿着……载着”用动词wear,答案为C。 3.“扎实基础,搞清辨异” 1)Soon I heard a _____ like that of a door burst in, and then a climb of feet. A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout 选项中的四个词都表示不同的声音,但B,C,D项的三个词都是指从嗓子里发出 的声音,而sound则表示各种各样的声音。因此答案是A。 2)“Give me a hand,”he shouted _____he got near the boat. A. while B. till C. for D. as 表示的是动作持续到某时才开始;for表示的是动作持续了一段时间;as连接的是 一个与谓语动作几乎同时发生的动词。答案应选D,表示他一边向船靠近一边大声 喊。 3)It was a pleasant way of passing the time for an old woman who lived _____. A. lonely B. alone C. away D. busily lonely和alone意义相近。lonely是“孤独”的意思,alone指的是“独自一人的”。 这里应选B,意思是“一个人住的老太太”。 4.“看清执行者,确定所选词” 1)And video cameras can be used to _____ people’s actions at home. A. keep B. make C. record D. watch 句中动作的发出者是video cameras, 因此答案是C,意思是“记录”。 2)When the papers were _____ she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test. A. collected B. completed C. marked D. answered 句中she指老师,paper指试卷。老师给试卷打分,因此答案为C。 5.“寻求上下逻辑,从容确定关系” 1)It has been many years since I was last in London, _____ I still remember something that happened during that visit. A. and B. for C. but D. as 根据句前的many years 和句后的still remember答案应选表示转折的连词but. 2)At first nothing happened, _____ suddenly a large rat rushed out of the hold… A. then B. and C. or D. so 句子开头有At first, 后面就应该用then表示时间顺序。 6.“了解生活常识,确定相关知识” 1)(Immediately,)the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the_____ hospital. A. animal B. biggest C. plant D. nearest 在这样的紧急情况下,人们的第一个反应是到最近的医院就医,因此答案为D。 2)“Don’t be afraid,”he said and started to swim towards the river bank, _____ the boy with him. A. pushing B. dragging C. holding D. catching 根据下水救人的常识,答案为B。 3)The space is left to let the rail expand(膨胀)when it gets_____. A. hot B. wet C. cold D. dry 根据热涨冷缩的原理,答案为A。 学位英语完形填空解题方法3 完形填空题对考生们来讲一直是难度较大的语言能力测试题,但同时也被认为是当今比较可行的、能较好体现区分度的英语测试题。它要求考生能够去领悟一篇有残缺的文章语篇大意,根据已学知识,整体理解,通篇考虑,推导“未知”内容。它具有主观性测试和客观性测试的双重优点。它既可以在篇目中考查学生的英语基础知识即语法,词汇知识;又可以考查学生的运用所学语言知识的能力,如词义辨析,词语搭配;习惯用法,语言交际、文化背景和社会风俗等等,同时还要求学生必须具备良好的把握上下文的行文逻辑和整个篇章结构的能力。考生必须在一定的时间内读懂全文,把握作者意图,推断文章内涵,然后根据上下文语境,从整体上把握文章的内在逻辑关系,结合所学的语言知识和各种常识选出适合语境和文义的词语。 一、命题特点 (1)文章内容贴近生活,易于理解;有一个主题,内容多为夹叙夹议的感悟性文章。 (2)短文的选材更加灵活,题材更加广泛,而且时代信息越来越强;更加贴近现实生活。 2.设置空白特点 (1)第一句话通常不设空,给学生提供一个阅读入门的基本信息。短文中设空的平均间距在10—15词之间。 (2)每小题所给出的4个选项一般都属于相同的词类,同一范畴;干扰项也多半可以和空前或空后的文字形成搭配,从而起到一定的干扰和迷惑作用。 3.立意特点: (1)完形填空是测试英语综合应用能力的试题。它既要求考生熟练掌握所学的词汇(词义、用法、搭配)与语法知识,更要求他们具有较强的阅读能力;能根据上下文线索,在有限的时间内,从所给选项中做出正确的判断与最佳选择,使短文得以恢复本来面貌,做到文意通顺,结构完整 (2)题目把上下文语境理解放在第一位,词汇运用和语法知识放在第二位。 (3)词汇的考查面越来越宽,但完形填空的选项设置以实词为主,既名词、动词、形容词和副词等,以虚词为辅,即连词、介词等。 (4)所设选项更具有干扰性和迷惑性,直接根据语法和固定搭配就能选出答案的试题越来越少,设空与语境的联系更加密切。 二、应试策略 要充分了解完形填空题的考查侧重点及命题趋势,在学习过程中做到有的放矢,并进行有针对性的练习。 1.广闻博记,练好扎实基本功。 “万丈高楼平地起”,综合能力的提高必须有坚实的基础,扎实的基本功。英语的基础知识包括语法、词汇知识,也包括听说读写各项技能。英语的基础知识琐碎烦杂,平时要多听、多读、多记,加大输入量,以求从量变到质变。只有不断积累,并及时进行总结归纳所学到的知识,才能为综合能力的提高打下坚实的基础。 2.扩大阅读量,培养良好的词感和语感。 完形填空题的设计实际是“词感现象”的展示。“词感”是一种对词或词群的感受能力;语感是一种对语言或语段、词句的感受能力,词感和语感是密不可分的。如果说完形填空题的解题关键在综合知识和综合能力,而词感和与感在其中所起的作用是难以估量的,正如我们不可能把语言知识用量化的方式表示一样。词感和语感是一种看不见摸不着的东西,但又是关键时刻必不可少的东西。娴熟的词感和语感的形成不是一蹴而就的,要在平时的学习过程中多听、多读、多记和多写的过程中,大量地接触语言材料,大量地进行语言素质的积累并在实践过程中逐步形成的。 3.拓宽视野,扩大文化背景知识 任何一种语言的发展形成都具有特定的社会文化背景,它包括一个社会的历史发展、文学、地理、风俗习惯以及生活常识等等。要把握一篇文章的主旨大意,理解作者的意图态度观点,文化背景知识起着不可短缺的作用。这就要求考生要在平时多了解、多积累有关英语国家的社会文化,风俗习惯等知识,以及基本的地理历史以及生活常识,并在解题时灵活运用这些知识,以求正确把握作者的思维轨迹,正确把握语篇大意。 三、解题技巧: 完形填空是一种要求学生在语篇理解的基础上综合运用其所学知识的理解性质的题形。近几年的完形填空题更注重突出语篇的完整性,强调句与句,段与段之间的逻辑性,语法知识不再是考查重点。那种把单纯的语法知识简单地对号入座式的解题方法已经应付不了现在的试题要求。所以必须了解并掌握这种题形的特点及正确的解题方法,绝不能提笔就做,见空就填。 1.快速阅读全文,注意首尾,把握文章大意 完形填空着眼于语篇理解,而完形填空中干扰项的设置又极具迷惑性。如果操之过急,见空就填,可能出现“只见树木,不见森林”的现象。因此正确的做法是先快速浏览全文,理清文章脉络,把握文章大意, 全文的整体意境,运用推理的方式来进行答题,做到瞻前顾后,上下文呼应。切不可自行断意,顾此失彼或无所适从。 同时,为了快速浏览全文,掌握大意,阅读过程中要特别注意文章和语段的首尾句。首句往往是该篇的主题句,它是了解全文大意的基石。它可以为我们提供解题的基本信息。做完形填空题需要联想,而第一句就如同是联想的翅膀,让你能在联想的空间里飞翔。而尾句往往是文章和语篇的总结,它是对理解的验证,因此要尽量从中捕捉更多的信息。 2.抓住关键信息,注意逻辑贯通,合理搭配谴词 必须借助于上下文理解才能正确解题。每道题在文章中都能找到信息依据,文章都是前后连贯,符合逻辑地向前发展延伸的,因此在解题是必须把握文章的走势,揣摩文章字里行间的意义,选择与作者思路相吻合的选项。同时把握文章中的关键词,连词或副词,它们往往是选择正确答案的关键。如:While I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed ______. A. pain B. loneliness C. sadness D. fear在人多的地方应该是热热闹闹的,但有了关键词but意义就相反了,当然无须过多考虑pain, sadness和fear,选loneliness万无一失。 3.先易后难,善于返回定论 完形填空的总体难度是较高的,但20个空中,容易失分的也仅有四、五个题,大多数是中档题和低档题,因此,在解题中要注意解题速度,不可为一道难题苦思冥想,耗时过多。应绕道而行,先做下面容易的题目,将有把握的空先填上。填上所有的容易题的同时缩小了思考范围,且提供了更多已知信息从而降低了难度。当20题已经做了16题时,剩下的4题就可以从容作答。有时难题一时难下定论,这时强迫自己读下去,在下文中找到相关信息和依据再返回定论。有时,上文已选定某一项,或许读下文时发觉不妥,不符合连贯逻辑,此时也必须返回定论。不善于返回定论,就难以作好完形填空。 赵文通学位英语解题方法指导—完形填空 完形填空(Cloze Test)是全方位考查学生综合运用英语能力的一种题型。它涉及阅读理解、分析推理、判断运用等方面。它既能体现学生综合运用英语的能力层次,同时它又是学生失分较多,从而拉开差距的主要题型。其实做好完形填空并不难,每种考试都有一定的规律可循,学位英语考试也不例外。答题步骤和技巧如下: 1、通读全文,掌握大意 做完形填空题,通读全文是作答前的一项必不可少的工作。只有通过对全文的阅读,思索和整体观察,才能根据上下文所提供的信息去作出推理判断,从而选出最佳答案。切忌读一行填一空,要知道,四个选项中就文章某一句而言,可能二个三个甚至四个都是可选的,而就全文而言,只有一个是最佳的。如: 【例】It was one of the most 36 and tiring games I’ve ever had. …In a way, I think we both won: I the game 36. A. encouraging B. hopeless C. surprising D. regular 【解析】就本句而言,A、B、C、D 中四个形容词能用and 和tiring相连的有 B 、C 两个选项。但是根据最后一句In a way, I think we both won: I the game, 说明“我”最后赢了比赛。所以B选项hopeless是不合适的。 浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、事件,即who, when, where, what。而要了解全文大意,开篇第一句是全文的窗口。一般来说,学位英语考试中得完形填空采用的短文无标题,短文的第一句不设题。这就为我们开了个了解文章的窗口,首句是解题指南,我们往往可以据此判断文章的体裁,预测全文的主题思想。 2、瞻前顾后,逐句细读 在了解短文大意和篇章结构的前提下,我们可以开始边看边选答案了。在具体选择中我们要注意以下几点: (1)根据选项的不同词义判断答案 【例】Then Ed first phoned and 37 we play. A.declared B. mentioned C. persuaded D. suggested 【解析】这句话讲的是Ed 打电话提议/建议(suggest)和我进行打球比赛。declare(申明)用词太大;mention (提到一件事/一个人)和persuade (说服)在本句中用法不当,suggest we (should)play 是虚拟语气。所以答案为D。. (2)根据词汇的固定用法判断答案 有些答案的选择取决于动词与介词或副词的搭配、动词和名词的搭配以及形容词和名词的搭配、以及动词和名词的特殊用法等,同时要根据内容判断正确的答案。例如: 【例】When the score was 16 up, I was having serious doubts about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone 53 that many points. A. scoring B. completing C. receiving D. keeping 【解析】本句中的points为比赛所得的分,本题中的C选项receiving(收到,得到)是最能让考生选错的一项,然而比赛中的得分(动词)应该用score。而completing(完成)以及keeping(保持,保留)在本句中就没了意义。所以答案为A。 (3)根据社会及生活常识推断答案 有些题要根据常识来判断。完形填空本身考的是学生的综合能力,文章本身蕴涵着各类相关知识。如果有丰富的社会生活常识,会使文章问题简单化,也是综合能力的一种体现。例如: 【例】His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often 43 about that., Ed refused to buy a larger T-shirt or to lose weight. A. cared B. forgot C. quarreled D. joked 【解析】这一句讲Ed胖的肚子像气球一样突了出来,根据实际生活经验应该可以判断,家里人经常笑话(joke)他。但他还是不去买宽大(larger)的衬衣来掩盖突出的肚子;也不减肥以减小已经很大的肚子。care about something 表示“在意,关心”,是静态动词,不适合用often 来修饰。forget和本句逻辑不相符;quarrel与实际生活不相符。 (4)根据上下文所提供的信息判断答案 高考完形填空题中,有许多前面的空白处选项取决于上下文中提供的有关信息。例如: 【例】I laughed quietly, figuring on an 38 victory. A. unforgettable B. unexpected C. easy D. early 【解析】本句中laugh quietly(暗暗窃喜)表示自己将处于有利位置,估计自己将轻易(easy)取胜(victory)。而unforgettable(忘记不了的)和unexpected(意想不到的)与本句逻辑不相符;early 和本句意思无关。所以答案为C。 (5)根据上下文的逻辑推理判断答案 文章上下文的逻辑关系常常用一些连接词来表达:有表达并列对等关系的and, as well as等;有表达转折关系的but, yet, while, however等,有表达因果关系的so ,therefor, as a result, because of, due to等。例如:【例】My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. 48 , at the point in our game when I’d have predicted(预计)the score to be 9 to 1 in my favor, it was instead 7 to 9-and Ed was leading A. After all B. As a result C. Above all D. At last 【解析】上文讲到Ed的体形发生了很大的变化,下文就要讲体形变化对这场球赛的影响, 所以用as a result (结果是)来引出体形变化的结果。而after all (毕竟),above all(最重要的是),at last(最后,终于)都与本句意思无关。 3、认真审读,仔细验证 填空完毕之后,一道必不可少的工作就是认真审读,验证答案。一篇残缺不全的短文经过修补之后,如果在意义、逻辑、联系、搭配等方面都能顺理成章,那么它就基本上恢复了本来面目了。如果发现不够顺畅的答案,凭语感重新考虑。 不断训练,以提高解题能力和水平。 学位英语完型填空强化训练10套题 学位英语完形填空//学位英语完形填空//学位英语完形填空//学位英语完形填空 【题型点津】完形填空解题策略 1、浏览全文,了解大意。首先利用首句,跳过空格,浏览全文,从整体上感知全文,了解文章大意以及故事发展情节,然后再进行试填。由于学位英语完形填空的答案提示信息大多在后文出现,所以切忌看一句填一句。 2、瞻前顾后,先易后难。了解文章大意后,结合各选项的意义和用法,从易到难,先做最有把握的题目。对于少数难题,暂时跳过,结合上下文,仔细推敲后便会迎刃而解。 3、复读全文,查漏补缺。答完全部题目后,要结合自己选择的答案再次阅读短文,围绕文章中心,查看文章内容是否通顺、结构是否完整、搭配是否有误,是否断章取义等。根据短文中句与句,段与段的逻辑关系进行判断,最终确定个别难题。 【试题部分】 (一)----说明文(9’) All (1)_______ things must fight to stay alive.

A。ashamed 意为“羞愧的”,根据后面列举的几项,不应该是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。 3. A。private 意为“私人的、保密的、不让人知道的”。上述事情都属于个人隐私,不宜公开。 4. D。brave 意为“勇敢的”,尽管是隐私不宜公开,但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。 5. B。suggested 意为“建议”,句子谓语用的动词原形,是虚拟语气,可先排除expected;从说话者语气看,不是“命令”,所以可排除ordered和demanded。 6. C。这里教员建议要做以下几件事情:to make apologize to people“向人们道谦”,(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取 措施 《全国民用建筑工程设计技术措施》规划•建筑•景观全国民用建筑工程设计技术措施》规划•建筑•景观软件质量保证措施下载工地伤害及预防措施下载关于贯彻落实的具体措施 纠正错误的所作所为”。 7.

C。none of us kids liked是定语从句,前面省略了关系代词whom / that(代替Sheriff),选none表示Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴都不喜欢那位郡长(Sheriff),与下文吻合。 10. C。play a trick on sb 意为“捉弄某人”。 11. B。sign 意为“记号、标记、符号”,指Jimmy他们写的字。 12. D。ever用于否定句表示“在任何时候、从来”,由于Jimmy说了谎话,所以“从来就没人查明事实真相(found out)”。与下文“几乎20年后再提及此事”相呼应。 13. A。appear 意为“出现”,指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。 14. D。alive 意为“活着的”,此时Jimmy还不知道Sheriff Brown是否活着,与后面他们接通电话,证实了Sheriff Brown还活着。所以此处不宜用其他形容词。 15. B。ring 意为“铃声”,这里指电话被拨通。 16. D。由we had a good laugh 可知Sheriff 和Jimmy 进行的是热烈的(lively)讨论。所以不宜选其他形容词。 17. D。后面的句子说明原因,故选because 引导原因状语从句:因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事给忘了。(from www.nmet168.com) 18. A。around 意为“大约”,此句表示:而Jimmy 却这些(nearly20年)年来一直把他所做过的错事记在心头。 19. C。clear up 意为“消除、解除”,此句意为:在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有101项(做错了事情)。 20. C。right 意为“纠正”,此句意为:纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。 (2) 1. C。only 意为“仅仅、只有”。句意为:世界上约有五百种语言,但只有记种是重要的。 2. B。important 意为“重要的”,根据下文提到的像英语被广泛使用,说明了这几种语言是重要的。故不宜选其他形容词。 3. B。as a foreign language(外语)与前句中的as their own language相对应。 4. C。are trying to do so = are trying to learn English 意为“在尽力学习英语”。 5. D。answer 意为“答案”,指回答前面的答案。句意为:学习英语容易还是困难,不同的人有不同的答案。 6. C。notice 意为“注意到”,根据不同的动词意义,只有notice切合句意。指注意到这些广告。 7. C。这些广告的目的是为了收钱,故选money。or your money back意为:否则退钱。 8. B。help sb do sth 意为“帮助某人做某事”。而make / let sb do sth意为“使/让某人做某事”。allow不合该句句型。 9. A。from first day 意为“从第一天起”。 11. A。happen 意为“发生”,这里指上面广告中提到的“快速学好英语这样事情是决不会发生的”。 12. B。remember 意为“记得”。 13. B。children与后面的a small child相对应,指小孩学说母语好。 14. D。think of 意为“想象、想一想”。 15. B。think 意为“思考”,此句意为:谈话用母语,思考用母语。 16. D。practice 意为“练习”。这里说明了孩子学说母语好是因为进行上述大量的练习的结果。 17. A。句意为:说学习英语容易就难说了。 18. A。demand“需要”,句意为:掌握好英语需要大量练习。 19. B。take 意为“花费(时间)”。此句意为:而练习需要付出极大的努力和花费大量的时间。 20. C。这里是说:好教师、录音磁带、书和词典将对学习英语有帮助。但这些都不能代替学生的学习。
