2023年高考英语完形填空精讲精练 ——利用首句信息进行判断
技法指导
完形填空一般无标题,首句一般不设空,往往是全文的关键句,或者称为主导句,通常起着开启、概括或贯穿全文的作用。完形填空的语篇以记叙文、夹叙夹议文为主。记叙文首句往往介绍事件发生的时间、地点、人物或起因等细节信息,说明文和议论文般通过文章首句点明全文的主题。 仔细分析文章的首句,往往维获取许多解题信息,从而节省考生的做题时间。
1.利用首句可以帮助我们判断文章的体裁,捕捉文章的要素,预测文章的发展。
若首句交代了when, where, who, what,即四个W,那么就是记叙文,很可能就是一个故事,为了测试语篇的理解能力,出题者特别注意选材的趣味性,其结尾往往出人意料,耐人寻味;若首句是提出或解释说明某事物,一般来说是说明文;若首句提出一个论点,那么就是议论文。
[典例]
Recently, a man showed up at Denny's restaurant in Utah with a special request. And as it turned out, the reason behind his particular 41 is a proof that kindness makes all things work together forever! The man asked if he could be 42 (served) by a waitress who was a single mother. Though it seemed a bit strange, the restaurant owner was 43 to meet his request and seated him in the service section belonging to a 44 (waitress) named Crystal.
41.A.demand B. identity C. survey D. power
43.A.happy B. unfortunate C. confident D. unwilling
”Recently, a man showed up at Denny's restaurant in Utah with a special request“作为首段首句,包含着两个关键词”restaurant”和"request”。"restaurant”表明故事发生的地点,”request"是推动文章情节发展的主要因素。第41题的答案demand照应request,为同义复现;第43题在餐厅”的背景下,餐厅老板虽感到奇怪但仍”高兴地”满足他的要求并让其坐在Crystal 的服务区域内。
