考点37 完形填空之记叙文
一、命题趋势
完形填空是英语考试中一项重要的考查内容。完形填空也是一种综合能力测试题，是对学生语法、词汇、句型、阅读能力、理解能力和逻辑推理能力的一种多方位的检测。按照考试大纲要求，通常在一篇200词左右的难度适中的文章中留出10个空白，要求学生从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使补足的短文意思通顺、结构完整。
综观各地往年中考真题，记叙文居多，而且近年中考中记叙文所占比例超过50%，预测2020年中考完形填空也会以记叙文为主，侧重考查实词和对上下文语境、逻辑的理解。
二、考试内容
完形填空考题要求考生在阅读过一篇不完整的文章后，能根据上下文意思，在所给的选项中选择最佳答案。其考查点有：
1. 能够掌握足够的词汇量，正确运用词类和词语的正确搭配。包括名词、代词、冠词、动词等词类和短语等。
2. 基础语法知识。包括句法、固定搭配、句型、词语加惯用法、时态、语态、主从复合句等。
3. 还应具有一定的语言运用能力、阅读能力、理解能力、综合分析能力和逻辑判断能力。
① 以语篇为载体，测试语言知识和语言能力。试题既考查学生对短文的整体理解能力，也考查学生运用语法知识、词汇知识的能力以及对事物的逻辑推理、分析判断能力。
② 以意义填空为主。试题在着重考查考生阅读理解能力的前提下，兼顾对语言知识、常识、逻辑推理能力的考查。
③ 降低对单词本身词义的考查要求，注重考查对全文意义的理解。中考完形填空备选项中所涉及的词汇基本上都是常见的初级词汇。
④ 考点分布符合考查目的。试题以名词、动词、形容词和副词等信息词汇为考查重点，淡化对介词、连词、冠词等结构词的考查，以检测学生在具体情境中灵活运用所学知识的能力。
⑤有的采用主观试题形式。有些完形填空题全部舍弃了学生们平时接触较多的＂四选一＂形式，而改之以＂自由完形填空＂形式，除了要求填入单词外，有的还设置了要求填入词组或短语的空格。
三、命题特点
1. 选文特点：
① 以叙述文体的小故事为主；
② 篇幅一般在200~300词之间；
③ 难度略低于阅读理解中的短文；
④ 所选短文语言地道、纯正，结构严谨，层次分明，逻辑性强。
2. 设空特点
① 首句通常不挖空，以便考生对短文前提和背景有个较清楚的了解，从而使考生尽快熟悉语境、推测文章大意。
② 短文设空平均密度为10—20个单词设一个空。
3. 选项特点
① 每个小题所给的四个选项一般都属于同一词性，语意范畴相同。长短相宜，避免了对答案的明显暗示，彼此之间也不会出现相互包容的情况。偶尔有个别小题的四个选项的词性不同，但其语法功能大都一样。
② 单从语法角度，甚至从某一句的角度来看，干扰项都可以和空前或空后的文字形成某种搭配，从而形成一定的干扰或起到迷惑作用。
③ 选项使用词汇没有重复，尽可能增加考查内容的覆盖面。
4. 考查特点
近几年的完形填空题主要考查考生对上下文的理解，要求考生通过语境来作出选择。＂语境能力型＂试题具有一定难度，因为所给的四个选项往往在语法方面都能成立，错误选项多半可以和空前、空后文字形成某种搭配，极具干扰和迷惑作用。
5. 难处暗示特点
完形填空的短文有时因为行文的需要，出现了对考生来说较难理解的背景，或者有时是命题者为了有意识地控制完形填空的难度等原因，往往会在短文的适当之处安排暗示。但这种暗示多为后面暗示前面，也就是说前面的某些空从当时的情况来看，或是线索不清，或是语境不明，无法填出，但只要继续往后看，就会发现此空在文章后面的某个地方有暗示。
完形填空题解题技巧
一、解题步骤
1. 通读全文，了解大意。
通读全文时，要跳过空格快速阅读，弄清文章的基本含义。可以先快速阅读全文，这样我们对文章的整体结构和中心思想有个基本的了解。有利于进一步把握全文所讲内容、篇章结构及时态语态的变化，为后面的答题创造条件。
2. 重视首句的开篇启示作用。
完形填空所采用的短文一般不给标题，但短文的首句通常可以点明短文的性质，如叙事、议论等，这是我们探索短文全貌的＂窗口＂。可以以首句的时态、语态为立足点进行思考，判断文章的体裁，推测全文的大意及主题。所以应该重视首句的启示作用。
3. 抓住关键词，根据上下文解题。
解题时，要遵循忠于全文大意和主题这一原则，联系上下文展开逻辑推理分析，要迅速找出那些在短文中起重要作用的关键词，了解所提问题的特定语境，语篇中的内在关系。
在解题过程中，应遵循＂先易后难＂的原则，遇到个别难题不易判断时，可先跳过去，先去解决那些靠上下文能确定的、比较直接明确的问题。随着下文的展开和文章的深入，或许在前面难以判断的题，下文就有暗示，甚至有明确的暗示。因此，在选择答案时，应特别注意联系前后句，充分利用上下文为确定答案提供的有用信息。
4. 重读全文，验证答案。
在全部空格补全以后，一定要根据填好的答案重读全文，看文章是否流畅，前后是否矛盾，语法结构是否无误。如果发现哪些地方读起来不流畅，这就说明那里有毛病，就要进行仔细推敲、订正。
二、技巧点拨
1. 充分利用首句作为解题的突破口。
完形填空的首句往往是完整的、不设空的。而首句又常常是全文的中心句，因此，应充分重视完形填空的首句，通过它大致把握全文的大意和作者的意图，利用它作为解题的突破口。依据首句的提示，捕捉文中关键信息，通览全文，了解文章的题材、体裁、结构、背景、内容大意、前因后果、情节发展、论点论据等基本信息。同时，可以对有些空格要填的词做试探性猜测，为下一步选择最佳选项做好准备。
2. 根据上下文的逻辑意义确定答案。
文章是一个具有内在联系的整体，而上下文则是营造语境的基础，也是逻辑推理的依据。通读全文，理顺大意，根据上下文找出信息词，是做好完形填空的技巧之一。完形填空的命题设计正朝着深层化和语境化方向发展，逐渐淡化单纯的语言分析考查，而越来越侧重对逻辑推理判断的考查。词语在特定语境中所表达的隐含信息大都无法从字面或—个或几个句子的表面理解传达出来，这就大大增加了干扰项的迷惑性，从而提高了试题难度。因此，要想解决这类题目，只有借助上下文乃至全文语境的提示。
3. 从词汇的意义和用法方面考虑。
做好完形填空必须具备较大词汇量，并结合上下文确定词义。完形填空在命题过程中，淡化基础句型结构，语法规则和短语搭配，侧重词汇的活用。应该加强对词汇合乎情景需求的判断的训练，加深对基本词汇的感受能力和应用能力，提高完形填空题的解题技能。
4. 积累习惯用法和固定搭配。
完形填空题中考查习惯搭配和固定用法的题目也占有一定比重，这就需要平时记忆和积累，做到脱口而出。这类题属于较容易的，一般在初选时就能确定。
5. 依据作者的态度和观点。
作者写一篇文章必有他的意图和目的，作者在表达情感时总是选择特定的词汇，因此文章字里行间不可避免地渗透了作者的情感。做完形填空时，应该留心捕捉作者的情感信息。
6. 注意分析句子结构。
通过句法、语法，能把复杂的句子变得简单，使得意义清晰，信息透明。
7. 依据生活经验和常识。
有些空涉及到我们应该具备的常识，是否合乎情理是我们选择的依据。
记叙文类完形填空解题技巧
一、解题步骤
| 1. 跳过空格，通读全文，把握大意。
2. 结合选项，综合考虑，初定答案。 3. 瞻前顾后，先易后难，各个击破。 4. 复读全文，逐空验证，弥补疏漏。 |
二、解题方法
1. 词语搭配法：根据词语的习惯搭配来确定正确答案。
2. 语法判断法：通过语法分析来选择正确答案。若选项是名词，应根据上下文确定该名词的单复数以及是否用所有格等；若选项是动词，应考虑其时态、语态、搭配及非谓语形式等。
3. 语境分析法：根据上下文的具体语境，利用所学知识和平时积累的生活常识等，选出最符合情景的选项。
4. 对比排除法：有时对于一些难选的空，可以试着将各个选项逐一代入空处，然后进行综合比较，从而选出最恰当的答案。
三、满分技巧
1. 了解记叙文的六要素。
记叙文，无论是记人还是叙事，都会交代清楚时间、地点、人物、事件、经过和结果，即记叙文的＂六要素＂。弄清了这六个要素，基本上就理解了整篇文章。
2. 明确作者的写作目的。
就事论事一般来说不是作者记叙的目的，作者往往通过叙述阐明一个道理。作者总是为了某个目的，在情节选择和细节描写上作出合理的安排。读者明晰了写作目的，就能抓住文章的主题。
3. 读懂作者的观点或态度。
解题时要认真分析全文，看作者是否一直采用某种态度叙事或描述人。为了增加试题难度，命题人往往采用变化的形式，考生只有在语境的指导下，对文章进行准确地逻辑推断，才能推测出文字之下的深层信息。
4. 弄清作者叙述的视角。
弄清文章是以第几人称的视角展开记叙的。通常英语记叙文展开记叙的视角有两个：第一人称和第三人称。用第一人称就是从＂参与者＂的角度进行记叙，读者可从字里行间感受到作者的态度和感情。用第三人称就是以＂观察者＂的身份展开叙述，作者的语气客观，与读者保持一定距离，读者的注意力更多地集中在故事本身上。了解作者的写作角度有助于我们抓住作者的思维，深入理解文章的意义，把握好语境。

2. A【解析】考查副词。句意：最后，他到了森林的一边，并且在那儿寻找食物。选项中，Finally意为”最终，最后”；Before意为”在……之前”；While意为”当……时候”；After意为”在……之后”，结合句子结构可知，此处是一个简单句，而不是从句，而before、while、after均用于引导时间状语从句，故排除，只有finally最为符合题意，故选A。
3. C【解析】考查介词。句意：他找到了一棵带有一个洞的大树。选项中，from意为”从……”；over意为”在……上方，越过”；with意为”带有”；of意为”关于，属于”，结合句意可知，此处填入with最为恰当，意为”带有……”，故选C。
4. D【解析】考查情态动词。句意：饥饿的狐狸认为洞里也许会有食物。选项中，shall意为”将”，will意为”将要”，can意为”能够”，might意为”也许”，根据文意，狐狸只是发现了这个洞，并没有进去，也就是说，他只是猜测这个洞中会有食物，故填入might最为合适，意为”也许”，故选D。
5. B【解析】考查动词。句意：他跳进了洞中，当他打开包裹的时候，他看到了许多食物。选项中，open为动词原形，意为”打开”，opened是open的过去式和过去分词，opens是open的三单形式，opening是open的现在分词，结合文章可知，整个故事采用的是一般过去时态，故动词open应变为过去式opened，故选B。

7. D【解析】考查动词。句意：在狐狸吃完之后。选项中，eat为动词原形，意为”吃”，ate为eat的过去式，to eat为动词不定时，eating为eat的动名词形式，此题考查finish的用法，finish后接名词、代词或动名词，故应填入eating，故选D。
8. A【解析】考查连词。句意：他感到很渴，决定离开洞穴并且喝一些水。选项中，and意为”并且”；but意为”但是”；then意为”然后”；or意为”或者”，结合句子意思，离开洞穴和喝水之间，并没有转折关系，而是并联关系，故选用连词and，而then是一个副词，不可连接两个句子，故选A。
