Remember we have no time to 10 lose.,The word “plastic” comes from the Greek word “Platicos” and is used to describe_1 something_which can be easily shaped.The history of plastics is longer than you mi
4、ght_2 think_. In fact _3the first_ manmade plastics ever to appear on the market was made over a hundred years ago. It was called “celluloid(赛璐璐)”.It was discovered by both an Englishman and an American in the same year._4But_it was the Americans who first produced it on a large scale during the yea

But they did not have to be

Poor mothers,_10_who had not been able to afford playthings _11_for their children, were now able to buy them playthings _12_made of,celluloid. But celluloid had one very serious fault. It caught fire very e
7、asily. In fact it burned even more quickly than wood or cloth. There were many terrible accidents, particularly _13_ among children. For years scientists worked hard to find a better plastic material than celluloid. They had _14_ little success. Then in 1932 an American scientist called Baekeland pr

14、s.Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.,(一)完形填空题的题型特点 1. 首句完整“完形填空” 所选短文一般无标题,但首句通常不设空,目的是让考生迅速进入主题,熟悉语言环境,建立正确的思维导向。 2. 语境选择近几年的高考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” 试题具有相当难度,因为完形填空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
15、和迷惑作用。做完形填空题,需要我们立足语篇环境,树立全局观念,瞻前顾后,连贯思维,从语境角度来选择答案。,例如:(1) Japan is an island country and its _ go all over Japan.(2) Japan is an island country and its_ go all over the Pacific looking for fish to catch.(3) Japan is an island country and its _ go over the Pacific looking for the fish groups. (4) J
16、apan is an island country and its_ go on the Pacific looking for the missing people.(5)Japan is an island country and its_ go all over Japan, sending people to and from work.选择项:A. fishing boats B. lifeboats C. planes D. trains,例如:(1) Japan is an island country and its _ go all over Japan.(2) Japan
17、is an island country and its_ go all over the Pacific looking for fish to catch.(3) Japan is an island country and its _ go over the Pacific looking for the fish groups. (4) Japan is an island country and its_ go on the Pacific looking for the missing people.(5)Japan is an island country and its_ go
18、 all over Japan, sending people to and from work.选择项:A. fishing boats B. lifeboats C. planes D. trains,A, B, C, D,A,C,B,D,例(1)无语境限制,A, B, C, D皆可。例(2)只有fishing boats能够到太平洋捕鱼,故选A。例(3)只有 planes 才能飞在太平洋的上空寻找鱼群,选C。例(4)在太平洋上寻找失踪人员的应是lifeboats, 选B。例(5).接送人们上下班的不会是fishing boats 和lifeboats, 用planes也有 违常理,故选
19、D。,3. 动名为主完形填空所给的选项一般是同一词类,或属同一范畴。测试点往往集中于某些词类。高考完形填空题考查动词(58个)、名词(46个)、然后是形容词,副词等。而介词、连词、冠词等虚词则相对考得较少。这是因为现在的完形填空主要考察语境,而在通常情况下只有实词才能较好地体现语境。4. 难处暗示难选之处前后多有暗示。这种暗示多为后面暗示前面,也就是说前面的填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,但只要我们继续往下读,我们就会发现此空在后面的某个地方有暗示。,5. 选材适中近几年来的高考完型填空题材多为具有一定故事情节的记叙文或具有一定哲理和教育意义,夹叙夹议,以叙为主的议
20、论文。词数在200-300之间。设空距离为10个词左右。短文内容结构严谨,逻辑性强,层次分明。材料难度与高三教材相当,所选短文的英语语言符合高三学生的实际水平。,(二) 完型填空题解题步骤 1. 细读首句,预测主题 “完形填空” 所选短文一般无标题,但首句通常不设空,目的是让考生迅速进入主题,建立正确的思维导向。同时也不可忽视尾句前后呼应的作用。 2. 通读全文,试选答案 根据全文大意,以全文为背景,把所给四个选项分别套入空格所在的句子中试填,初步完形空格。试填选项时,一定要注意在语境理解上下功夫,要抓住上下文的内容联系和逻辑关系。在阅读全文时,不要忽略连接词、代词、插入语、转折语等的作用。因
21、为这些词往往是改变语境的关键词,具有因果、让步、递进、转折、指代、列举、承上启下的特殊功能。,如:but, yet, however, whereas, while 等表示转折或对比;besides, moreover, what is more等表示信息增加; so, so that, therefore, as a result等表示推理结果。 4. 细读全文,推敲难题 部分空格答案还不明朗。做到这一步,我们已能将短文中被挖去的词“复位”了一些,对语境的了解更清晰,更准确了。我们要充分利用这一有利条件,联系上下文意,根据常识,运用逻辑推理,结合语境和已选答案所提供的信息,对候选项再次进行仔
22、细推敲,缜密考虑,选出最佳答案。若有些答案实在难以确定,可采用“排除法”,首先排除在语法或内容上明显不符合要求的答案,然后再比较、定夺。可按空格所在位置,从词语搭配、上下文意、习惯用法、词义辨析和语法结构等方面,耐心细致地逐项分析,以求对应。可先读所要填词的句子,复读上一句,兼顾下一句,即“瞻前顾后”,确保答案的准确无误,(三)完型填空题实用解题技巧实用技巧一: 寻找关键信息词来选择答案在一篇文章中,有时就一个单句而言,很难确定合适的答案,但若继续下去,就会发现与问题有关的信息词,这些词往往直接或间接地提出或暗示我们所寻找的答案。例1:Norman Cousins was a business
23、man from the United States who often traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his _1_ and traveling. 1. A. time B. holiday C. sleep D. work,例1:Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his _1_ and traveling. 1. A. tim
24、e B. holiday C. sleep D. work,D,【分析和说明】本题较难。误选A的学生较多,很多学生认为他在国外旅游,因此认为他是玩得很愉快。选错的主要原因是没认真审题,只注重单句的意思,而没注意前句给出的提示。 【解答】事实上在此句中,前面提到过on business,而不是指他是纯粹的旅游,因此应该与work有关。正确答案为D。只有D项可以同时与traveling作enjoyed的宾语。,Then, after returning to the United States from a _2_ trip to the Union of Soviet Socialist Rep
25、ublic (USSR), Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a change began to take place _ 3_ him. The material between his bones became weak.2. A. boring B. tiring C. dangerous D. pleasant A. from B. around C. inside D. beside,Then, after returning t
26、o the United States from a _2_ trip to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR), Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a change began to take place _ 3_ him. The material between his bones became weak. 2. A. boring B. tiring C. dangerous
27、D. pleasant A. from B. around C. inside D. beside,B,C,【分析和说明】第2题:咋一看,A,B,D项都可选,如果第一句中学生认为是旅游玩得很愉快,那么选D项的就更多。句中说在此之后,Mr. Cousins got sick病倒了,这是关键的信息词。因此这是一个tiring trip;第3题:不认真看题,那么很容易选B,以为是他身边发生的事。跟第二题一样,读后句就知道,这里的a change只能是他身体内部的变化。因为文中提到The material between his bones became。C。,An old lion _ in its
28、 cave and pretended to be ill, when some animals came to visit it, the lion killed and ate them.slept B. lay C. lying D. felt sick,例2:An old lion _ in its cave and pretended to be ill, when some animals came to visit it, the lion killed and ate them. slept B. lay C. lying D. felt sick,B,【分析和说明】如果仅以“
29、主语后面应该跟谓语动词”这一语法规则去分析,显然A,B和D都对。但是文中的“killed and ate them”说明狮子并未睡觉,而是在捕食或者伺机捕杀前来探望的动物,从而否定了A。通过“pretended to be ill”这一信息又证实了“狮子并未生病”这一事实,所以又否定了D。因此只有B为正确答案。lay虽表示“卧着”,却有“其大脑清醒”的含义,暗求着狮子随时会突然跃起,扑向靠近它的动物。【解答】答案为B。,实用技巧二:根据词的固定搭配和句型来选择答案 词的固定搭配,特别是动词的搭配题是完形填空测试的重点。这种情况命题方式常见的有两种:一是将固定搭配中的某个词删去,二是在原来的搭配
30、结构中插入较长的文字结构,造成搭配关系的松散现象。 如:A persons feeling depends, in a sense, according to Dr. Green, _the climate. 如果学生知道according to Dr. Green是插入语,depend on动词词组被故意拆开的话,答案就非常容易了。 例1:It will not be _ the teachers and the students meet again. A. before long B. far away C. long before D. some long,例1:It will not
31、 be _ the teachers and the students meet again. A. before long B. far away C. long before D. some long,【分析和说明】“before long”为固定搭配,很多学生认为这个答案是对的。但如果再仔细想想就会知道它是一个副词词组,在句中往往直接用作状语,而后不跟从句。所以做题时即使是固定搭配或短语,也不能死搬硬套,要具体情况具体分析。 【解答】在“long before”句式中,before为连词,可以在后面跟句子,long在此句中是表时间的一种说法。,C,实用技巧三:用比较判断法来选择答案有时,
32、在一个段落中,前面的空只凭借一个句子的内容很难做出正确的判断,但是在后面的句子结构中也出现同样的语言结构,这种语言现象便是我们要找的比较信息部分。 例1:Pagoda Street is a street like many others not very _ 1_ , not very wide, _ 2_ wide enough for two buses to pass. But it is a _3_ street all the same, particularly during the rush hour. 1. A clear B. clean C. far D. fresh 2
33、. A. also B. even C. and D. only 3. A. famous B. useful C. busy D. free,实用技巧三:用比较判断法来选择答案有时,在一个段落中,前面的空只凭借一个句子的内容很难做出正确的判断,但是在后面的句子结构中也出现同样的语言结构,这种语言现象便是我们要找的比较信息部分。了解比较信息部分的结构,能帮助我们找到前面对应结构中等立存在的答案。 例1:Pagoda Street is a street like many others not very _ 1_ , not very wide, _ 2_ wide enough for tw
34、o buses to pass. But it is a _3_ street all the same, particularly during the rush hour. 1. A clear B. clean C. far D. fresh 2. A. also B. even C. and D. only 3. A. famous B. useful C. busy D. free,B,D,C,【分析和说明】第1题:此句中说明了这个街跟许多其他的街道一样,这说明了街道的共同特征,不很“宽”当然也不是“很干净”。而不是A“清晰”或是C“远”,这两个不能说明大多街道的共性。第2题:根据上
35、句中的“not very wide”及下句中的提示“wide enough for two buses to pass”,说明街道较狭窄,“仅能让两辆车通过”。第3题:此空前的 But表转折,虽说街道不宽,但。它是一个“繁忙”的街道,且与下文的during the rush hour相对应。 【解答】根据文意,此3题答案分别为B,D,C。,例2:The ancient Greek thinker Diogenes said that there was only one good, namely(也就是), knowledge; and only one _1_ , namely, _ 2 _
36、.1. A. better B. best C. nice D. evil 2. A. ignorance B. disbeliefC. laziness D. death,例2:The ancient Greek thinker Diogenes said that there was only one good, namely(也就是), knowledge; and only one _1_ , namely, _ 2 _. 1. A. better B. best C. nice D. evil 2. A. ignorance B. disbeliefC. laziness D. de
37、ath,D,A,【分析和说明】第1题:文中only one good为信息词,only限制了good,形成了“绝对关系”,所以后面的部分不会再出现good的同义词或近义词,那么空1 应选择与good相反的词。A,B,C项都是体现好的方面的词,只有D项符合,evil的意思为“邪恶的”,即使你不知道这个词的含义也可用排除法选出正确答案。第2题:跟在提出例证的转折词namely后面的词,其作用是说明前面的名词的,既然good是knowledge, 那么与之相对应的evil后的词应是与knowledge相对应的反义词ignorance(无知)。而disbelief为“不相信”, laziness为“懒
38、惰”,death为“死亡”,都与原义不符。对比法在完形填空中往往是一种重要的解题方法,扩展词汇面,找出反义词,应用对比关系然后再排除是关键。 【解答】根据以上分析,这两题答案分别为D,A。,除了可以从相同的结构中比较外,还可以利用其他转折词的功能进行比较,常见的转折词有:though(虽然), at the same time(往往比较两个不同的动作), even so(尽管如此), instead(此外), on the contrary(恰恰相反), on the other hand(另一方面), similarly(同样), but, however(然而)等。在做完型填空时,利用这些
39、词或词组的提示,我们可以判断它们与后面的词、句子的关系,这种关系或许是趋于向其他方面的转化,或许是与所描述的概念正好相反。,A,如:A horse and a donkey, each bearing a burden, were being led by their master. The donkey asked the horse to take part of its burden, for it was very tired; _ the horse refused. A. but B. then C. and D. so,英语完形填空之解题基本技巧,1.从上下文关键词着手; 2.从
