完形填空之夹叙夹议文
一、关注首句,领会大意
通过首句可以明确文章话题,了解篇章结构,预测全文内容。尾句往往是作者的点睛之笔,通过尾句一般可以更加真实、确切地体会到作者的写作意图、对待事件的真实态度等核心内容。
例:
From my second grade on,there was one event I feared every year:the piano recital(独奏会)和尾句的With his first recital,my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30plus years ago.表明了文章的主旨:作者本来很反感弹钢琴,但是父亲的行为感动了自己。作者认为他的实际行动比30多年以前说的话更有感染力。
二、注重语境,理清行文逻辑
夹叙夹议文以叙述为主,绝大部分篇幅是在描述事件,而作者的观点及态度往往隐含在叙述中,这就要求考生增强语篇意识,抓住文章的叙事线索,弄清文章的内在逻辑关系,根据上下文内容做出选择,并适当进行逻辑推理是解题的关键。
三、找准标志词,弄清故事发展模式
夹叙夹议文通常使用对比、强调、让步、举例、结论、顺序和对照等手段。考生应注意观察文章的结构特点,根据表达这些手段的衔接词来正确理解故事情节。
常见标志词有:(1)并列关系:and,not only...but also,that is to say等;(2)因果关系:because,for,so that,in order that,due to,thanks to,thus,therefore,so等;(3)对比关系:while,whereas,as,rather than,instead of等;(4)转折关系:although,though,even if,nevertheless,despite,but,yet,however,on the contrary等;(5)递进关系:also,then,besides,in addition,furthermore,what’s more等;(6)顺序关系:first,then,on the one hand等;(7)转变话题:by the way,what I really mean...等。
One of the easiest things in the world is to become a faultfinder.However,life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeenyearold Kerry,who described herself as a worldclass faultfinder,almost always 38 by things.People were always doing things that annoyed her,and 39 was ever good enough.She was highly selfcritical and also found fault with her friends.She became a really 40 person.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。Kerry本来是一个事事挑剔、苛刻的女孩,但通过她最好的朋友遭遇了车祸这件事,她变得对一切不再那么刻薄了。这篇文章旨在告诉我们:不要用一种挑剔的眼光去看世界,要心胸开阔一些。当我们养成这种习惯的时候,就能重拾生活中的热情,而且心中会充满爱。
36.A.lonely B.great C.quiet D.uneasy
句意:世界上最简单的事情之一就是成为一个吹毛求疵的人。然而,当你不是忙着找茬时,生活可能是________。由however表示的转折关系可知,本空应选great,表示"生活可能是美好的"。lonely孤独的,寂寞的;great伟大的,极好的;quiet安静的,寂静的;uneasy不安的,不确定的。
【答案】B

38.A.threatened B.interrupted C.bothered D.spoiled
由后句的People were
