高考英语复习完形填空：考点解析6词语辨析

完形填空突破(七)

——词语辨析题

完形填空题的另一个命题热点是考查词语辨析。词语辨析命题涉及以下四种类型：

1．同义词或近义词辨析

此类题的特点是选项中所给的四个词词性相同,词义相同或相近。主要考查考生在具体语言环境中对所学同义词或近义词的辨析和运用能力。

典例

The technique M ootee uses to treat people with OCD is called cognitive­behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法)．“It is based on the general idea that people have the ability to change the

45 they think and behave,” says Mootee.

45．A.way B．method C．solution D．means

答案 A

解析考查同义词的辨析。分析句子结构可知,此空后为一定语从句,此空是先行词。way作先行词时,定语从句的引导词可以省略或用in which或者that,此处的定语从句中省略了引导词。再由空格后的behave可知,此处应用way。

2．形近词辨析

此类题的特点是选项中所给的四个词的词性相同,拼写(至少有两项)相近。这类题主要考查考生是否准确地掌握了所学词汇的意义。

典例

Given the right tools,we can train our brains to act like what they did when we were younger.All that’s50 is the practice designed just for the purpose：a few exercises for the mind.

50．A.required B．inquired C．acquired D．requested

答案 A

解析考查形近词辨析。acquire获得；inquire询问,打听；request请求,要求；require 需要。“that’s”是定语从句,修饰all。根据句意可知,required合适,意为“所需要的就是为了这个目的而设计的练习”。

3．常用词汇辨析

此类题的特点是选项中所给的四个词词性相同,脱离语境,或只看句子的一部分,可能会有两个或两个以上的正确答案,但经过语境分析,则只有一个是正确的。

典例

Driving home,everyone was in high Christmas spirits,47my younger daughter,Ginger,who was unusually 48 . (2008·辽宁) 47．A.including B．besides C．except D．regarding

48．A.quiet B．excited C．happy D．ashamed

答案47.C 48.A

解析47.考查常用介词的辨析。此处表示“除了……之外”,故选C项。句意为：每

个人都情绪高涨,只有我的小女儿例外。including包括……在内；besides作介词,意为“除……之外(还)”；except(用于所言不包括的人或事物前)除……外；regarding关于。

48．考查语境选词。quiet安静的；excited兴奋的；happy高兴的；ashamed羞愧的。根据整句话的意思可知,答案为A项。

4．转换词语辨析

此类题的特点是选项中所给的四个词为表示上下文各种逻辑关系的转换词语。这类题主要是考查考生对上下文逻辑关系的理解,如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、增补关系、对比关系等,并考查考生对转换词语的运用能力。

解析由于前面两个人的个头很高,作者只能透过他们之间的空隙“观看”电影。作者当时坐在座位上,由此可排除前三项。
