专题02:完形填空(广州专用)
【题型特点】
完形填空题共10小题,以考查实词为主,主要包括名词、动词、形容词、副词及相关短语。从近几年的广州市考试题来看,完形填空多以记叙文为主,越来越强调对上下文以及通篇文章的理解。其中包括在具体的语境中灵活运用语言知识的能力,根据试题内容进行正确的逻辑推理,综合判断和分析概括的能力。
【解题策略】
1.跳过空格,通读全文,掌握大意
通读全文,了解文章的文体(若为记叙文,快速了解when, where, who, what等信息;若为说明文,锁定介绍的对象及介绍的角度;若为议论文,明确论点及论据等);尽量避免文章空格的影响,初步掌握文章大意。不要纠结于某句话或某个空,否则容易断章取义,进入误区。
2.瞻前顾后,先易后难,各个击破
动笔时要瞻前顾后、通篇考虑、先易后难。对比较明显直接的、自己有把握的答案先选定,不能一下子确定答案的,先跳过这一空格,继续往下做,最后回过头来再集中精力解决难点。这时可结合已确定答案的选项再读一遍短文,随着对短文理解的深入,可以相对降低试题的难度,提高选择的正确率。
3.复读全文,逐个核对,验证答案
完成各道题的选择后,把所选的答案代入原文,再把全文通读一遍,逐空认真复查。看所选定的答案是否使短文意思前后连贯、顺理成章,语法结构是否正确,是否符合英文习惯表达法。如发现错误或有疑问的答案,应再次推敲、反复斟酌、做出修正。

专题02:完形填空(广州专用)
【题型特点】
完形填空题共10小题,以考查实词为主,主要包括名词、动词、形容词、副词及相关短语。从近几年的广州市考试题来看,完形填空多以记叙文为主,越来越强调对上下文以及通篇文章的理解。其中包括在具体的语境中灵活运用语言知识的能力,根据试题内容进行正确的逻辑推理,综合判断和分析概括的能力。
【解题策略】
1.跳过空格,通读全文,掌握大意
通读全文,了解文章的文体(若为记叙文,快速了解when, where, who, what等信息;若为说明文,锁定介绍的对象及介绍的角度;若为议论文,明确论点及论据等);尽量避免文章空格的影响,初步掌握文章大意。不要纠结于某句话或某个空,否则容易断章取义,进入误区。
2.瞻前顾后,先易后难,各个击破
动笔时要瞻前顾后、通篇考虑、先易后难。对比较明显直接的、自己有把握的答案先选定,不能一下子确定答案的,先跳过这一空格,继续往下做,最后回过头来再集中精力解决难点。这时可结合已确定答案的选项再读一遍短文,随着对短文理解的深入,可以相对降低试题的难度,提高选择的正确率。
3.复读全文,逐个核对,验证答案
完成各道题的选择后,把所选的答案代入原文,再把全文通读一遍,逐空认真复查。看所选定的答案是否使短文意思前后连贯、顺理成章,语法结构是否正确,是否符合英文习惯表达法。如发现错误或有疑问的答案,应再次推敲、反复斟酌、做出修正。
【解题技巧】
题型1:词义辨析。
这类题,学生需要读懂文章,结合具体语境,掌握并牢记词汇的语义和用法,同时考虑辨析词义、常用搭配、后文的复现词等,确定正确选项。若有个别生词,可通过上下文或构词法推测词义。
[例1]…for testing his new invention—Umbrella Hat. He could hardly wait to see whether it could keep the rain off. He carefully the hat on his head and started walking…
A.raised B.placed C.dropped D.repaired
【解析】B. 考查动词。由空后的“the hat on his head” 可知,他把雨伞帽戴到头上了。raise “举起;饲养”;place “放置”;drop “掉落”;repair“修理,修补”。故选B。
[例2]【原词复现】She said, “No. Think about it and I will _____ you again.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. After thinking carefully, I thought...
A.tell B.answer C.ask D.advise
【解析】C。句意:考虑一下,我再问你一遍。
tell告诉;answer回答;ask询问;advise建议。根据“Think about it and I will… you again”及下文“before she asked me again”可知,考虑之后会再问一遍,故选C。
题型2:固定搭配。
可通过动词短语、介词短语或固定句型,判断出正确答案。
[例1] From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evening and weekends they are free and _____ themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. This is decided by their own interests ...
A.love B.work C.enjoy D.play
【解析】C。考查动词短语搭配。根据上下文可知“但在晚上和周末,他们是空闲的并且玩得开心”。谷固定短语“enjoy oneself”意为“玩得开心”.故选C。

A.keeping on B.giving up C.fighting against D.putting up
【解析】B。句意:当大象经过时,许多动物都笑了起来,以致于大象开始考虑放弃他的梦想。
keeping on继续;giving up放弃;fighting against反对;putting up张贴。结合语境可知,动物都嘲笑大象的相机,所以使大象想放弃自己的梦想了,故选B。

A.central B.interested C.ready D.popular
【解析】D。句意:丝绸也很受外国人的欢迎。
central中心的;interested感兴趣的;ready准备好的;popular受欢迎的。根据“They loved silk and would like to pay a lot of money for it.”可知,他们喜欢丝绸,愿意出高价购买,由此可以推断丝绸在美国人中也很受欢迎。be popular with“受……欢迎”,故选D。
