第三讲 警惕意外失分,“完美”复验下的完形
通过前两讲的先“完意”、再“完空”,残缺的语篇已完整“复原”,但这并不代表“已抱得满分归”。解答完形填空,通读语篇、填后复验是不可或缺的关键一环。因为在逐个“完空”的解题过程中,常会因片段式的阅读,造成“只见树木,不见森林”断章取义的错误。只有通过通读复验,才能发现一些细节性、惯性思维式错误,才能确保完形完美收官。
一、谨防两类失分——不可掉以轻心
语篇层次题需要综合考量全篇信息再做判断。考生常由于信息获取不全、文意理解不透、情感把握不准而错选,这是能力因素失分;但也有一些题目的失分,并非能力不够造成的,而是由于考生的惯性思维、不严谨细致而导致的无谓失分,这类题我们称之为思维粗疏题。
(一)语篇层次题——攻克难点把分增
语篇层次题的解题信息不局限于某一句或某一句群,而是分散在某一段或几段甚至全篇,这就要求考生理解整篇文章,抓住全文的脉络、作者的思想意图或主角的心理,然后进行准确的推理、判断,从而做出正确的选择。对于此类题目,一定要坚持这样一个原则——不急于解答,读完全文后综合考量再做决断。
[例1] (2023·全国甲卷节选)
It was a 23.neighbor called Mario, coming to 24.bring us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine ...
...
It's good to eat things at the correct time, when they're 38.in season, and as close as possible to where they were 39.grown. What Mario had 40 us was the taste of the Garfagnana.
40.A.cooked B.given
C.bought D.told
分析:选B 本题是典型的语篇层次题,只看题目所在句无法确定答案,但结合整篇文章的行文脉络可知,此处呼应上文中的“coming to us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine”,表示Mario在作者第一次到来的时候,给作者带来(bring)一些西红柿和一瓶葡萄酒以示欢迎,故选B项,此处指Mario所给予作者的东西。
[例2] (2021·新高考Ⅰ卷节选)
My life as a tax-paying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked in a baking factory.
...I'd45.earn minimum wage. I'd see how a factory 46.worked ...
...This was 50.harder than it sounds. 51.Slow down a bit and the cakes pile up. As I told my parents at dinner that first night, it was all a little more high-pressure than I'd 52.expected.
Dad 53.smiled. The son of a grocer, he'd spent the summers of his childhood 54.delivering food in Bernardsville, New Jersey. This was the sort of work that made you 55 the dollars you earned and respect those who did the work, he told me.
55.A.withdraw B.donate
C.receive D.appreciate
分析:选D 本题是语篇层次题,可以利用文章发展脉络解题。所节选部分文章的行文脉络为:作者回忆中学时的一段打工经历→获得最少的薪水→工作比听起来有难度,比预料中压力大→父亲结合自身的经历,劝诫作者,这种工作会使得一个人 他挣到的钱并且尊重做这份工作的人。根据行文脉络可知,本题位于文章尾段,所在句起总结全文、升华主题的作用。故此处应是父亲教导作者:这种工作会让你重视(appreciate)自己挣到的钱并且尊重做这份工作的人。
