中考英语专题复习之完形填空课件(36张PPT)
题型突破
完形填空与语法选择不同。语法选择侧重考查某 个词在具体语言环境里的不同形式,而完形填空主要考 查在具体的语言环境里用不同的词,侧重于词与词之间 的意思的区别。完形填空要求考生既要运用自己所学 过的词汇、习惯用语、固定搭配、语法、句法等基础 知识理解每个句子,又要处理好句子与句子之间以及句 子与全文之间的内在联系。主要测试考生在具体语言 环境中对文章的篇章结构、中心思想、推理判断、
段 落、篇章等。语篇与语篇之间往往有表明其
内在联系的词语，这些词语被称为“语篇标志 语”。如表示结构层次的语篇标志语first, second, finally等；表示因果关系的because, so等， 表示改变话题的by the way；表示递进关系的 besides, what’s more等，表示转折关系的but, while, on the other hand等 等。做题时如果能充 分利用这些语篇标志语，就可以迅速理清文章的 脉络，弄清上下文的关系。

干扰项来增加试题难度，考查学生的语言基本功和灵活运用能力，所以 在平时的学习中，要逐渐培养自己的“语感”，不要受母语的影响。
应考思路
(3)发挥逻辑思维能力，挖掘文章寓意、隐意
近几年高考完形填空以叙事为主，有时加入一定的议论和说明， 内容贴近生活，表层意思易于理解，所以很容易使考生产生“轻敌”心 理。有的考生做完一篇完形填空以后，自我感觉不错，但正确率并不 高，原因是这些考生仅仅理解了文章的表层含义，而忽略了其深层含 义。事实上，高考完形填空文章大都包含一定的哲理、寓意，具备深 层探寻的可能性。这就要求考生不仅要明确文章的表层意义，还要挖 掘出文章的深层含义，做到“表里一致”。
