2024年高一英语暑假作业之完形填空(解析版)
【课前小测】
Meeting a polar bear
I put my day’s supply of food into my bag and then began to take down the tent. Suddenly I heard a deep, long growl (嚎叫) from my dog Charlie. I looked at him and then in the direction he was watching closely. A polar bear!
It was a mother 1 by two cubs coming slowly towards me. They were 200 meters away. With a pounding (狂跳) heart, I picked up my flare (照明) gun and 2 walked sideways a few steps to Charlie. Without taking my eyes off the bear, I untied Charlie and, again walked sideways.
The bear, now only 150 meters away, wasn’t stopping. Her cubs had dropped back but she kept going, while I tried to remember all the 3 that had been given. Keep eye contact, move sideways or forward, never backward, stay calm, don’t show 4 . Don’t wound a bear and you’ll make it 5 to control it. Never run. Repeating to myself, “Stay calm, stay calm,” I fired a warning shot (射击) to the bear’s left. The loud noise had no 6 . She came around. I fired a flare, landing it a little to her right. Her head moved in its direction but she didn’t stop. I fired another, this time dropping it right in front of her. She stopped, looked at the flare. She was only 30 meters away now.
By this time, I was so nervous that my heart could have been heard at base camp. The bear began to step around the flare, and I dropped another a meter in front of her. Again she 7 , and then she fixed her tiny black eyes on Charlie, who was trying to reach her. She looked back at her cubs, waited, and then moved to my left in a half circle. I fired two more flares, trying to draw a line between her and me. She stopped again and seemed to want to 8 the line of flares but was unsure of the result and of Charlie, so she decided to stay 9 . Finally, with a last long look, she walked north with her cubs behind her.
My hands were still shaking, but I now knew that I could 10 a bear in the wild bravely and stay calm enough to act properly.

【知识对接】
接点1初中完形填空命题
1.多数试题在选材时考虑材料的教育性、趣味性和实用性。
2.完形填空命题的短文绝大多数是以叙事为主的记叙文。例如:幽默故事、名人轶事、社会热点问题等。
3.许多文章或体现了人世间的亲情、友情,或渗透着爱心、友善、真诚与关怀,或饱含人生哲理,催人奋进、给人自信,读后令人感动,使人深受启发。
接点2高中完形填空易错点
(一)对句子结构分析不清楚
近几年的完形填空试题中经常出现较长的句子,这些句子的结构相当复杂,给学生理解文章造成一定的困难。
英语中的长难句有如下几个特点:句子信息量大,结构复杂,附加成分多,分隔现象普遍,有时还会出现省略现象。以下是英语中常见的长难句:
1.夹杂非谓语动词,即动词-ed形式、动词-ing形式或动词不定式。
2.夹杂形容词短语、副词短语、介词短语。
3.夹杂时间状语从句、条件状语从句或让步状语从句。
4.夹杂虚拟语气、宾语从句或定语从句。
(二)逻辑推理不严密
每篇完形填空都是一篇语境完整的文章,只不过是人为地切断了文章的思路,然后让学生依据自己对文章的理解将文章恢复原貌,所以,许多试题实际上是考查学生对上下文逻辑的理解和推断。对于学生来说,推理判断类题目虽然不能在文中直接找到答案,但学生可以在文中找到能推理判断的依据。
完形填空逐渐减少了对语法的考查,朝着深层次和语境化的方向发展,因此学生必须借助上下文乃至全文语境来揣摩作者对主要角色、事件的态度。除了把握关联词语以外,还要把握作者的语气等。语境大致可分为三个层次:空格前后的细节内容;全文的主旨大意;作者的写作背景、写作思路及意图。学生在做题时,一定要从这几个方面入手,从整体上把握文章内容,弄清文章的结构和内在逻辑关系,同时认真比较所给选项,从中选出最符合语境的选项。
(三)对段落关系及解题线索把握不准确
根据上下文的信息提示进行逻辑推理,“上气下气要贯通”是解答完形填空题的主要方法。学生不仅要从句子之间的关系入手进行把握,有时还要从段落之间的关系入手进行分析。
此外,通过分析上下文的逻辑关系也可以确定答案。针对所给选项,学生应理解上下文关系,如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、对比关系等。
(四)对作者的写作意图不明了
完形填空旨在考查学生对文章内容的理解以及对作者的写作意图的判断能力。学生应该重视首句,通过首句把握文章的大意和作者的写作意图。如果首句信息不明显,学生可结合尾段进行推断。假如两种方法均不可取,学生可在理清文章脉络和掌握文章大意的基础上,在字里行间进行逻辑推理。
【难点突破】
突破1高中完形填空的特点
纵观近年来的高中完形填空题,其语篇题材新颖,内容情节深刻,句式结构多样,打破了过去以考查语法、词的搭配和固定表达为主的局面,侧重考查学生的逻辑思维和语篇理解的能力,反映了“强调应用,注重交际”的命题原则。总体来说,完形填空的考查主要有如下特点:
(一)题型特点
1.短文难度基本稳定,词数为250~300,与高中英语教材的难度基本相当。文章多由简单句组成,但并列句和复合句也占有相当的比例,句子结构清晰,易于学生理解。
2.短文选材多是记叙文,故事性强,内容多变,且往往不按时间顺序平铺直叙,常出现插叙、倒叙或者夹叙夹议的情况。
3.短文首句一般不设空,以便向学生提供有用的信息,使学生对全文主旨有一个基本的了解。
4.试题考查以情境意义选择为主,着重考查学生的语篇理解能力。由于跨越句子层次的题占绝大多数,这就要求学生通读段落甚至全文,感悟语境,收集上下文信息,采用直接法或排除法做出最佳选择。
(二)设空特点
1.设空密度稳定。在250~300词的短文中,设空为15个。稳定的设空密度决定了完形填空稳定的命题难度。
2.设空以实词为主,虚词为辅;单词为主,短语为辅。高中英语完形填空试题绝大部分是单词填空,短语填空的题量极少,且以实词(动词、形容词、副词等)为主,虚词(连词、介词等)为辅。这就需要学生根据上下文语境和逻辑关系进行词义辨析。
3.设空词汇均不超出考纲词汇,且仅涉及基本意义和用法。在“瞻前顾后”的前提下,学生只要进行细致推敲和细微辨析,就能够锁定最佳选项。
突破2完形填空的解题方法及技巧
(一)解题方法
1.通览-速读全文,把握大意
快速阅读全文要求学生一气呵成,跳过空格或不明白的地方,通览全文,领会短文大意(when、who、where、what、how),大致了解文章的体裁、背景、内容、结构层次、情节、写作风格等,获得整体印象,弄清行文脉络,找出主旨和关键词。在通读全文时,学生应重视首句的开篇启示作用,注意文中反复出现的主题词,体会作者的行文思路,从宏观上把握全文,找出解题突破口。
2.试填-“瞻前顾后”,先易后难
在理解全文的基础上,学生应结合所给选项细读全文,联系上下文、词汇意义、固定搭配和句法结构寻找解题线索,逐层深入,各个击破。“瞻前顾后”即前后观察,对空格前后内容深入分析,确定空格在句中的意思。如果是语义问题,要根据上下文完整的语境进行推敲;如果是语法问题,则要考虑整体时态、语态以及词法、句法。“瞻前顾后”时,应特别注意首尾照应,既要明确首句引出全文的重要地位,也不要忽视尾句画龙点睛的作用。先易后难即首先选出能直接确定的答案,如固定搭配、常见句型等,然后回过头来集中精力解决难度较大的问题。
3.复核-全面检查,精选答案,消除疏漏
试填这一步完成后,应再次通读一遍全文,注意检查所选答案填入空白处后能否做到文意通顺、前后连贯、逻辑严谨、结构完整。在复查过程中,如果有某些地方意义含混不清或矛盾,应该依据文章的中心意思再次推敲,反复斟酌,从意义和语法两个角度仔细权衡,加以改正,以便弥补疏漏。
(二)解题技巧
1.跳读首尾句进行预测
一般来讲,高中完形填空的首句通常不设空,通过文章第一句可判断文体并了解故事概要,而尾句往往是对文章主题进行总结。所以,学生跳读短文首尾句就可以大致清楚行文脉络,挖掘文章思路。
2.利用复现信息解题
语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。因此,学生在做题时要有全局观念和连贯性思维,应特别注意空格前后所出现的相关词语,尤其注意找出其中重复出现的暗示性词语,进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。
3.利用上下文寻找线索
利用上下文寻找解题信息,是突破完形填空最关键的思维方式。近年来,高中英语完形填空题越来越侧重对语篇、语义理解的考查,这就要求学生能准确把握词、句、段之间千丝万缕的联系,紧扣上下文提供的信息来答题。
4.推敲文段逻辑关系
尝试从逻辑关系的角度把握文意。逻辑关系隐藏在句子中、句与句之间以及段落的衔接中,它涉及文章的起承转合、上下连贯,如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、比较关系以及对比关系等。通过对逻辑关系的推测,在选项中寻找表示相同逻辑意义的词汇,可以大大降低解题的难度。
5.利用语法分析法解题
尽管近几年的高中英语完形填空很少考查纯语法知识,但是借助一定的语法分析法来帮助理解句子结构、判断固定搭配却是必不可少的。所以,学生在遇到复杂的句子结构时,应充分利用所学语法知识和习语搭配来进行分析,以帮助理解句意。
6.尝试先易后难解题
由于完形填空题是在一篇短文中挖去一些词,且绝大多数是实词,所以文章读起来肯定有一些难度。学生在做题时,切忌循规蹈矩地一个接着一个去完成,而应尝试使用先易后难的方法,即顺着文章思路,根据自己对文章的理解,一边读一边把容易做的、有把握选对的先做好,对于一时没有把握的难题,可以暂时跳过去或初选一个答案,说不定后面会有解这道题的提示。把容易的做好后,文章空格随之减少,整篇文章的意思就会变得更清晰,这时难题也许就会变得容易。
7.巧用背景常识解题
解答完形填空题时,有时文章提供的信息还不够充分,这就需要利用自身已掌握的文化背景和生活常识,选出最佳答案。因此,学生的知识范围越广,对文章的理解就会越容易。整体上知道短文在说什么,那么局部上的每一个空填起来也会得心应手,这样将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程,节省宝贵的时间,顺利地沿作者的思路阅读下去。
突破3如何提高完形填空解题能力
1.不断积累并熟练掌握基础知识和基本技能
在平时的复习过程中,对于重要的语法知识,如定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、倒装句,情态动词等,要分类归纳,把零星的、分散的知识加以总结概括,并且每复习一项,就要做这部分的练习题,以做到概念清楚,运用灵活;要系统地复习单词、短语搭配、习惯用法及重要句型。在复习单词的过程中,一定要注意单词在不同语境中的多种含义,也要注意单词的词性、词形的转化。
2.加强训练,培养较强的语感
进行完形填空题型的专项训练,同时要注意文章内容的多样性,难度逐步过渡。经过一段时间的训练,逻辑思维能力和观察分析能力就会有所提高,语感也会相应提高。

【课前小测】
Meeting a polar bear
I put my day’s supply of food into my bag and then began to take down the tent. Suddenly I heard a deep, long growl (嚎叫) from my dog Charlie. I looked at him and then in the direction he was watching closely. A polar bear!
It was a mother 1 by two cubs coming slowly towards me. They were 200 meters away. With a pounding (狂跳) heart, I picked up my flare (照明) gun and 2 walked sideways a few steps to Charlie. Without taking my eyes off the bear, I untied Charlie and, again walked sideways.
The bear, now only 150 meters away, wasn’t stopping. Her cubs had dropped back but she kept going, while I tried to remember all the 3 that had been given. Keep eye contact, move sideways or forward, never backward, stay calm, don’t show 4 . Don’t wound a bear and you’ll make it 5 to control it. Never run. Repeating to myself, “Stay calm, stay calm,” I fired a warning shot (射击) to the bear’s left. The loud noise had no 6 . She came around. I fired a flare, landing it a little to her right. Her head moved in its direction but she didn’t stop. I fired another, this time dropping it right in front of her. She stopped, looked at the flare. She was only 30 meters away now.
By this time, I was so nervous that my heart could have been heard at base camp. The bear began to step around the flare, and I dropped another a meter in front of her. Again she 7 , and then she fixed her tiny black eyes on Charlie, who was trying to reach her. She looked back at her cubs, waited, and then moved to my left in a half circle. I fired two more flares, trying to draw a line between her and me. She stopped again and seemed to want to 8 the line of flares but was unsure of the result and of Charlie, so she decided to stay 9 . Finally, with a last long look, she walked north with her cubs behind her.
My hands were still shaking, but I now knew that I could 10 a bear in the wild bravely and stay calm enough to act properly.

接点1初中完形填空命题
1.多数试题在选材时考虑材料的教育性、趣味性和实用性。
2.完形填空命题的短文绝大多数是以叙事为主的记叙文。例如:幽默故事、名人轶事、社会热点问题等。
3.许多文章或体现了人世间的亲情、友情,或渗透着爱心、友善、真诚与关怀,或饱含人生哲理,催人奋进、给人自信,读后令人感动,使人深受启发。
接点2高中完形填空易错点
(一)对句子结构分析不清楚
近几年的完形填空试题中经常出现较长的句子,这些句子的结构相当复杂,给学生理解文章造成一定的困难。
英语中的长难句有如下几个特点:句子信息量大,结构复杂,附加成分多,分隔现象普遍,有时还会出现省略现象。以下是英语中常见的长难句:
1.夹杂非谓语动词,即动词-ed形式、动词-ing形式或动词不定式。
2.夹杂形容词短语、副词短语、介词短语。
3.夹杂时间状语从句、条件状语从句或让步状语从句。
4.夹杂虚拟语气、宾语从句或定语从句。
(二)逻辑推理不严密
每篇完形填空都是一篇语境完整的文章,只不过是人为地切断了文章的思路,然后让学生依据自己对文章的理解将文章恢复原貌,所以,许多试题实际上是考查学生对上下文逻辑的理解和推断。对于学生来说,推理判断类题目虽然不能在文中直接找到答案,但学生可以在文中找到能推理判断的依据。
完形填空逐渐减少了对语法的考查,朝着深层次和语境化的方向发展,因此学生必须借助上下文乃至全文语境来揣摩作者对主要角色、事件的态度。除了把握关联词语以外,还要把握作者的语气等。语境大致可分为三个层次:空格前后的细节内容;全文的主旨大意;作者的写作背景、写作思路及意图。学生在做题时,一定要从这几个方面入手,从整体上把握文章内容,弄清文章的结构和内在逻辑关系,同时认真比较所给选项,从中选出最符合语境的选项。
(三)对段落关系及解题线索把握不准确
根据上下文的信息提示进行逻辑推理,“上气下气要贯通”是解答完形填空题的主要方法。学生不仅要从句子之间的关系入手进行把握,有时还要从段落之间的关系入手进行分析。
此外,通过分析上下文的逻辑关系也可以确定答案。针对所给选项,学生应理解上下文关系,如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、对比关系等。
(四)对作者的写作意图不明了
完形填空旨在考查学生对文章内容的理解以及对作者的写作意图的判断能力。学生应该重视首句,通过首句把握文章的大意和作者的写作意图。如果首句信息不明显,学生可结合尾段进行推断。假如两种方法均不可取,学生可在理清文章脉络和掌握文章大意的基础上,在字里行间进行逻辑推理。
【难点突破】
突破1高中完形填空的特点
纵观近年来的高中完形填空题,其语篇题材新颖,内容情节深刻,句式结构多样,打破了过去以考查语法、词的搭配和固定表达为主的局面,侧重考查学生的逻辑思维和语篇理解的能力,反映了“强调应用,注重交际”的命题原则。总体来说,完形填空的考查主要有如下特点:
(一)题型特点
1.短文难度基本稳定,词数为250~300,与高中英语教材的难度基本相当。文章多由简单句组成,但并列句和复合句也占有相当的比例,句子结构清晰,易于学生理解。
2.短文选材多是记叙文,故事性强,内容多变,且往往不按时间顺序平铺直叙,常出现插叙、倒叙或者夹叙夹议的情况。
3.短文首句一般不设空,以便向学生提供有用的信息,使学生对全文主旨有一个基本的了解。
4.试题考查以情境意义选择为主,着重考查学生的语篇理解能力。由于跨越句子层次的题占绝大多数,这就要求学生通读段落甚至全文,感悟语境,收集上下文信息,采用直接法或排除法做出最佳选择。
(二)设空特点
1.设空密度稳定。在250~300词的短文中,设空为15个。稳定的设空密度决定了完形填空稳定的命题难度。
2.设空以实词为主,虚词为辅;单词为主,短语为辅。高中英语完形填空试题绝大部分是单词填空,短语填空的题量极少,且以实词(动词、形容词、副词等)为主,虚词(连词、介词等)为辅。这就需要学生根据上下文语境和逻辑关系进行词义辨析。
3.设空词汇均不超出考纲词汇,且仅涉及基本意义和用法。在“瞻前顾后”的前提下,学生只要进行细致推敲和细微辨析,就能够锁定最佳选项。
突破2完形填空的解题方法及技巧
(一)解题方法
1.通览-速读全文,把握大意
快速阅读全文要求学生一气呵成,跳过空格或不明白的地方,通览全文,领会短文大意(when、who、where、what、how),大致了解文章的体裁、背景、内容、结构层次、情节、写作风格等,获得整体印象,弄清行文脉络,找出主旨和关键词。在通读全文时,学生应重视首句的开篇启示作用,注意文中反复出现的主题词,体会作者的行文思路,从宏观上把握全文,找出解题突破口。
2.试填-“瞻前顾后”,先易后难
在理解全文的基础上,学生应结合所给选项细读全文,联系上下文、词汇意义、固定搭配和句法结构寻找解题线索,逐层深入,各个击破。“瞻前顾后”即前后观察,对空格前后内容深入分析,确定空格在句中的意思。如果是语义问题,要根据上下文完整的语境进行推敲;如果是语法问题,则要考虑整体时态、语态以及词法、句法。“瞻前顾后”时,应特别注意首尾照应,既要明确首句引出全文的重要地位,也不要忽视尾句画龙点睛的作用。先易后难即首先选出能直接确定的答案,如固定搭配、常见句型等,然后回过头来集中精力解决难度较大的问题。
3.复核-全面检查,精选答案,消除疏漏
试填这一步完成后,应再次通读一遍全文,注意检查所选答案填入空白处后能否做到文意通顺、前后连贯、逻辑严谨、结构完整。在复查过程中,如果有某些地方意义含混不清或矛盾,应该依据文章的中心意思再次推敲,反复斟酌,从意义和语法两个角度仔细权衡,加以改正,以便弥补疏漏。
(二)解题技巧
1.跳读首尾句进行预测
一般来讲,高中完形填空的首句通常不设空,通过文章第一句可判断文体并了解故事概要,而尾句往往是对文章主题进行总结。所以,学生跳读短文首尾句就可以大致清楚行文脉络,挖掘文章思路。
2.利用复现信息解题
语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。因此,学生在做题时要有全局观念和连贯性思维,应特别注意空格前后所出现的相关词语,尤其注意找出其中重复出现的暗示性词语,进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。
3.利用上下文寻找线索
利用上下文寻找解题信息,是突破完形填空最关键的思维方式。近年来,高中英语完形填空题越来越侧重对语篇、语义理解的考查,这就要求学生能准确把握词、句、段之间千丝万缕的联系,紧扣上下文提供的信息来答题。
4.推敲文段逻辑关系
尝试从逻辑关系的角度把握文意。逻辑关系隐藏在句子中、句与句之间以及段落的衔接中,它涉及文章的起承转合、上下连贯,如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、比较关系以及对比关系等。通过对逻辑关系的推测,在选项中寻找表示相同逻辑意义的词汇,可以大大降低解题的难度。
5.利用语法分析法解题
尽管近几年的高中英语完形填空很少考查纯语法知识,但是借助一定的语法分析法来帮助理解句子结构、判断固定搭配却是必不可少的。所以,学生在遇到复杂的句子结构时,应充分利用所学语法知识和习语搭配来进行分析,以帮助理解句意。
6.尝试先易后难解题
由于完形填空题是在一篇短文中挖去一些词,且绝大多数是实词,所以文章读起来肯定有一些难度。学生在做题时,切忌循规蹈矩地一个接着一个去完成,而应尝试使用先易后难的方法,即顺着文章思路,根据自己对文章的理解,一边读一边把容易做的、有把握选对的先做好,对于一时没有把握的难题,可以暂时跳过去或初选一个答案,说不定后面会有解这道题的提示。把容易的做好后,文章空格随之减少,整篇文章的意思就会变得更清晰,这时难题也许就会变得容易。
7.巧用背景常识解题
解答完形填空题时,有时文章提供的信息还不够充分,这就需要利用自身已掌握的文化背景和生活常识,选出最佳答案。因此,学生的知识范围越广,对文章的理解就会越容易。整体上知道短文在说什么,那么局部上的每一个空填起来也会得心应手,这样将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程,节省宝贵的时间,顺利地沿作者的思路阅读下去。
突破3如何提高完形填空解题能力
1.不断积累并熟练掌握基础知识和基本技能
在平时的复习过程中,对于重要的语法知识,如定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、倒装句,情态动词等,要分类归纳,把零星的、分散的知识加以总结概括,并且每复习一项,就要做这部分的练习题,以做到概念清楚,运用灵活;要系统地复习单词、短语搭配、习惯用法及重要句型。在复习单词的过程中,一定要注意单词在不同语境中的多种含义,也要注意单词的词性、词形的转化。
2.加强训练,培养较强的语感
进行完形填空题型的专项训练,同时要注意文章内容的多样性,难度逐步过渡。经过一段时间的训练,逻辑思维能力和观察分析能力就会有所提高,语感也会相应提高。
