第2讲 跳出误区,警惕五大失分点
专题三 完形填空
一词多义和熟词生义往往是考生容易忽视的地方,很多考生由于不懂这些熟词的“新义”而出现思维堵塞,造成了不应有的失分。解题时考生应该尽可能地跳出命题人设置的词汇“陷阱” 。
[示例1](2022·全国乙卷)However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably __42__ at hiding.They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 43.exposed.
For a long time,this ineffective hiding method...
42.A.clever
B.bad
C.scared
D.quick
[错因分析]本题可能会因不明熟词生义而失分。根据下文“They often cover only their eyes with their hands,leaving the rest of their bodies...”和下一段首句中ineffective hiding method的提示可知,幼儿园小朋友很不擅长躲藏。be bad at sth.表示“不擅长某事”。故选B。
[示例2](2021·浙江6月卷)My mother is 92.Unless I have to be out of town, each week I take my mother to do her 36.shopping and visit the doctor, providing __37__ and transportation.
37.A.reward
B.medicine
C.company
D.shelter
[错因分析]本题可能会因不明一词多义而失分。句意:除非我必须出城,否则每周我都带我的妈妈去购物、看医生,提供陪伴和交通。由语境和常识可知,此处指陪伴,故选C。company的含义较多,可表示“公司;剧团;陪伴;来宾”,考生在遇到多义词时要结合具体语境进行分析和判断。
在完形填空题的设题上,命题者往往还将一些考生平常容易忽视的词汇设置成选项,从而使考生错选。对于这些词汇,考生在平时必须引起重视,背熟记牢。
[示例](2022·全国乙卷) A number of 53.experiments ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked.The results were clear: Our young subjects __54__ the questions and knew 55.exactly what was asked of them.
54.A.comprehended
B.predicted
C.explored
D.ignored
[错因分析]本题可能会因词汇理解障碍而失分。根据上一句“...ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked”可知,这些年幼的实验对象并没有误解所提问题,即他们能够理解(comprehend)被提问的问题。故选A。本题的选择难度在于A选项“comprehended(理解)”对于考生而言是一个相对陌生的词汇,一些考生可能因为词汇积累不够,又不能有效地利用上下文中的提示而失分。
由于种种原因,如考生的母语干扰、知识面和思维习惯等都有可能令考生出现一些思维定式现象,即不善于多方位思考,考虑问题不全面,导致错选一些题目,完形填空解题中因惯性思维而失分常有以下两种情况:
单词运用受到思维定式影响
有些考生学习英语单词过于简单化,仅记其中文意思,而不深刻理解其实际用法和英汉用法之间的细微差异。例如:表示“成功做某事”,不可以用succeed to do sth.来表达。
短语或习语运用受到思维定式影响
例如:学习了wait for这个词组以后,有的考生在做题过程中只要碰到wait,后面要接介词时就毫不犹豫地选择for,但在“He stopped his car to wait at the red light.”中就不用for。
[示例1](2021·天津3月卷)For Pruitt, a keen bicyclist, the first thing to do was __19__ his stolen bike.But when he went bike sh
