高考英语完形填空专项练习

2008届高考完形填空专项练习

完形填空是把一篇200－300字的文章中的一些词挖去，留下空白，要求被测试者根据

上下文从备选答案中选出一个最恰当的词，使文章的句子符合句法，意思明确，逻辑通顺。

这种测试方法能够从某种程度上测试出被测者的语言运用能力，有较高的效度和区分度，在各类重要测试中多被采用。

完形填空是用来考察学生英语知识与技能的综合运用能力的。它不仅要求学生理解词义和句子，更要测试学生对上下文的连贯，文章中信息的前后联系及逻辑关系等做出正确判断。

从近几年的高考试题来看，测试的重点主要在不同词在特定语言环境中的意义及运用，还有学生对全篇的理解。要求学生把握备选单词的准确多种含义，习惯用法和上下文内容的联系，注意逻辑的严密性，还要有习语的积累。

在做完形填空题时，同学们可以试一试以下做题步骤，看看是否能够提高做题速度并提

高准确性。

（一）浏览全文，了解大意

在选择答案之前，同学们一定要静下心来，仔细阅读全文，既然完形填空是通过上下文

已知的信息来推断未知的信息，那么掌握事情发展脉络，行文的逻辑，词语意义的前后照应关系对理解文章和答题都很重要。做题前的快速阅读恰好能够达到这个目的。尽管空白的存在影响了我们对细节的掌握，但文章大概的内容还是基本能够确定的。了解文章的大意为选择答案确定了范围和方向，使得我们在实际做题时按照固定的思路去考虑问题，节省了时间。

（二）选择答案

这一步是解题的中心步骤。在选择时一定要注意上下文的内容联系，把握文章发展的脉络，分析作者的态度和行文的逻辑。一般来说，四个选项在语法上都没有问题，但从整篇文

章的内容和具体的语境看，只有唯一的正确答案。所以，在确定答案时，要顾全大局，保证

所选的单词在整段，乃至全篇中的意思准确，逻辑合理，符合作者意图。

（三）重读全文，检验答案

为了提高做题的准确性，同学们在平时练习时应养成重读文章的习惯。虽然做题的时间有限，花一点时间通读全文，以检验所选单词的正确性还是值得的。我们按已经掌握的文章脉络来核对答案，综合考虑作者的写作意图，态度，上下文的逻辑关系和具体词的固定用法，

争取最接近原文。

下面我们来做一篇文章，一起分析解题，希望能为同学们提供有效的思路和解题方法。

同学们在通读全文后，应该了解到这是一篇议论文，讲的是英国人的一种生活观念，即拥有自己的私人空间。人们注重自己的私人隐私，同时也强调个性。文章从居住空间和公众

场合两方面说明人们对私有空间的理解和惯常举止，同时还举了旅行中的经历来说明自己的

观点。

有了这样的大概了解，我们就可以一一选择答案了。

1. B文章一开始点明本文的主题，此题应该与文章的中心一致，故选择personal（个人的），强调主题。

2. A从全文的大意来看，英国人喜欢具有私密性的空间，题目中house和flat应是相比较才更能表现他们注重私人空间的观念（两者的私密程度显而易见），备选项中as well as （也）不能够表比较，or rather（不如说）与题意不符，as a result of （结果是）与本题无关，故选rather than（而不是）

3. C此空要填的词必须与后文的change属于同一类的词以表示“人们按自己的意愿改变

房子”这样的动作，paint（油漆）属于这类的词，而buy（购买），leave（离开）和offer （提供）都不属于这类词。

4. C any way they like （他们愿意的方式），固定搭配。

5. A

6. D本题有一定的迷惑性，close friend（密切的朋友）与invited friend （被邀请的朋友）相比后者更符合本文有关私人空间的话题。
