第二篇 攻克填空——没有技巧的填空是失败的填空
专题三 完形填空
完形填空——5大失分点
完形填空注重在特定语境中考查词汇的灵活运用,要想做好完形填空,不仅要掌握语法、词汇知识,还要对语言交际、文化背景、社会风俗等有所了解。同时,还要具备把握上下文行文逻辑的能力,并能理清整个语篇中的线索。分析近年高考完形填空题目可以发现,完形填空主要有以下5大失分点。
失分点1 熟词生义不理解
[真题指路1] (2023·北京高考)
But when mum got home from work, I was still 6(complaining),__“Five pages! That's impossible!”
“Well, you'd better get back to work,” she said. “and I want to read it when you're through.”
Soon after dinner, I handed the essay to mum. I half expected a __7__—at least an “I hope you've learned your lesson”. 8(Instead),__mum laughed and laughed as she read.
7.A.lecture B.reason
C.reward D.solution
答案
解析:句意:我有点期待得到一种说教——至少一句“我希望你已经吸取了教训”。lecture说教;reason原因;reward奖励;solution解决办法。根据下文“at least an ‘I hope you've learned your lesson’”可知,“我希望你已经吸取了教训”这是一种说教。lecture作名词时常意为“讲座;演讲”,在此处意为“说教”。故选A。
解析
【对点突破】
平时在做完一篇完形填空之后,可以通过二次精读积累文章和选项中的熟词生义,构建属于自己的熟词生义表。
失分点2 一词多义不清楚
[真题指路1] (2024·浙江高考1月)
It would have been easy to 51(rely__on) my assumptions about this highway builder who had never been more than a few hundred miles from home. But this highly informed, 52(self-educated),__and admirable person prevented me doing so. In the course of a couple of hours, he 53(showed) me just how much one can gain from 54(traveling) with an open mind, and a willingness to __55__ with locals from all walks of life.
55.A.cooperate B.side
C.negotiate D.engage
答案
解析:句意:在几个小时的时间里,他向我展示了带着开放的心态旅行,并愿意与来自各行各业的当地人打交道,会有多么大的收获。cooperate合作;side支持;negotiate协商;engage参与。根据后文“with locals from all walks of life”可知,此处指和各行各业的当地人打交道。engage with意为“与……接触”。故选D。
解析
[真题指路2] (2023·新课标Ⅰ卷)
On Oct. 11, hundreds of runners competed in a cross-country race in Minnesota.
...
Although the two young women were strangers before the __54__, they've since become friends.
54.A.ride B.test
C.meet D.show
答案
解析:根据上文“hundreds of runners competed in a crosscountry race”可知,此处指这两个年轻女子在那场体育比赛之前是陌生人。meet意为“体育比赛”。故选C。
解析
[真题指路3] (2021·浙江高考)
My mother is 92. Unless I have to be out of town, each week I take my mother to do her36(shopping) and visit the doctor, providing __37__ and transportation.
37.A.reward B.medicine
C.company D.shelter
答案
解析: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。company的含义较多,可表示“公司;剧团;陪伴;来宾”,在遇到多义词时要结合具体语境进行分析和判断。故选C。
解析
【对点突破】
如果在平时记忆单词时仅关注单词的拼写与个别含义,那么在具体的语境中就可能分辨不出单词的具体含义。 所以,针对多义词时,要配以例句,在具体的语境中加以区分,反复识记,加强词汇复习的针对性。
失分点3 生僻词不熟悉
[真题指路] (2020·全国卷Ⅲ)
As a businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom you feel affection, 41(customers) can also drive you mad. They'll come rushing in, 42(saying) their handbag's been stolen. They'll __43__ that they left it in the changing room, create havoc (混乱) and then 44(discover) it had been in their car all the time.
43.A.agree B.promise
C.imagine D.swear
答案
解析:agree 同意;promise 承诺;imagine 想象;swear 肯定地说。顾客冲进作者的店里,肯定地说自己的包落在了更衣室里。故选D。
解析
【对点突破】
较为生僻的单词以及较生僻的短语也逐渐出现在选项中。所以,要多注意这方面的词汇积累。
失分点4 课标派生词不认识
[真题指路1] (2021·全国甲卷)
It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.
...
“I come to you, 57(hat__in__hand),__to apologize for the damage I had 58(indirectly) caused and to ask you to __59__ my lifetime ban from the hotel.”
59.A.replace B.remember
C.reconsider D.Renew
答案
解析:根据上文“for getting ... Victoria, Canada”可知,酒店将Nick (尼克)拉进了黑名单,根据下文“my lifetime ban”可知,Nick道歉,希望酒店重新考虑对他的禁令,re(再;重新)+ consider(考虑)=reconsider(重新考虑)。故选C。
解析
[真题指路2] (2020·全国卷Ⅰ)
I wonder if 49(parents) should always tell the truth no matter the 50(consequences). I have a very strong 51(fear) that the lie we're telling is doing __52__ damage to our children. Windows and doors have 53(important) metaphorical (比喻) meanings. I'm telling them they can't open what they absolutely know is a door.
52.A.physical B.biological
C.spiritual D.behavioral
答案
解析:句意:我非常担心我们正在说的谎言会对孩子们造成心灵上的伤害。physical身体的;biological生物的;spiritual心灵的;behavioral行为的。spirit(心灵,精神)+ual(……的,形容词后缀)=spiritual(心灵的)。故选C。
解析
【对点突破】
完形填空中的词汇不仅限于课标词汇,还包括由课标词汇派生、合成而来的词。大家在日常学习中要积累一些常见的前缀和后缀,并学会拆解单词,利用构词法判断单词的含义。
失分点5 语篇意识不到位
[真题指路1] (2023·全国甲卷)
Many years ago, I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer. The first time we __41__ there, we heard the chug-chug-chug of a motorbike 42(making) its way down the hill toward us. It was a 43(neighbor) called Mario, coming to 44(bring) us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine. It was a very nice 45(gesture) for him to make.
41.A.waited B.met
C.camped D.stayed
答案
解析:句意:我们第一次住在那里的时候,听到了一辆摩托车从山上向我们开过来发出的嘎吱嘎吱的声音。wait等待;meet遇见;camp露营;stay暂住。根据前文“Many years ago, I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer.”可知,作者在当地买了房子,所以是第一次住在那里。故选D。此处容易忽略上文“bought a house”的提示,而误选A。
解析
[真题指路2] (2021·新高考Ⅰ卷)
My life as a taxpaying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked in a baking factory.
My best friend Betsy's father was a manager at Hough Bakeries, which, at Easter time, __41__ little bunny (兔子) cakes for all its __42__ throughout Cleveland.
41.A.sold B.ordered
C.made D.reserved
42.A.stores B.families
C.schools D.citizens
答案
解析:根据上文“I worked in a baking factory”可知,Hough Bakeries是一家烘焙工厂,再根据常识可推知,此处表示烘焙工厂做小兔子蛋糕,向它的门店供货。故41题选C,42题选A。这两道题容易忽略上文的提示,误认为Hough Bakeries是一家烘焙店,从而认为烘焙店卖蛋糕给市民。
解析
【对点突破】
完形填空的考查点依附于语篇,而语篇具有连贯性。所以,在平时要多利用思维导图梳理文章结构,这样才能在考场上迅速理清文章脉络。再结合语境,利用前后照应、词汇复现和逻辑推理等方法解题,选出正确答案。
