首字母填空

給首字母填空類短文題是近幾年來各地中考試題經(jīng)常采用的題型之一，因?yàn)樗蟹浅：玫男哦群托Ф?，又能拉開考生間的分差、提高區(qū)分度。這種題型屬于能力測試的范疇，它考查的范圍極廣，可以是英語知識的方方面面，還可能涉及其它學(xué)科。它要求考生在充分理解短文的基礎(chǔ)上將單詞拼寫出來，并且單詞形式合理，符合語法規(guī)范，符合短文需要。這種試題的首字母已給，所填的就必須是該字母開頭的單詞。這既是一種限制，又是一種提示。

可是這種題型因難度相對較大，考生失分現(xiàn)象比較嚴(yán)重。學(xué)生要仔細(xì)閱讀全文，利用上下文提供的有關(guān)信息，再仔細(xì)閱讀相關(guān)句子，判斷所缺單詞的句子成分，才能完成練習(xí)。完型填空式中考試卷中最難的題型，最能測量考生實(shí)際運(yùn)用語言的能力。要做好此類題目，考生不但要有較強(qiáng)的語感，善于體會上下文的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，而且要有扎實(shí)的語言知識儲備和較大的詞匯量。

不少同學(xué)經(jīng)過長期艱苦的努力，可能仍達(dá)不到理想的訓(xùn)練效果，為了幫助同學(xué)們解決燃眉之急，在平時(shí)的教學(xué)中我采用了下面的“臺階式”教學(xué)法，而且經(jīng)過試驗(yàn)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)這確實(shí)是比較有效的方法之一，對提高學(xué)生的解題能力很有幫助。具體做法如下：

Step1：掌握七種句子成分與十種詞性之間的對應(yīng)關(guān)系。通過對單一成分的分類練習(xí)，

掌握該句子成分與何種詞性相對應(yīng)。詞性正確是答案正確的前提。

(1) 對主語的判斷

1. _______ are helpful to students. ( teach )

2. _______ is more important to me than money. ( healthy )

3. Some famous _______ are going to give lectures in our university in August. ( science)

4. _______ is my favorite sport. ( fish )

5. _______ stamps is my hobby. ( collect )

Key: 1. Teachers 2. Health 3. scientists 4. Fishing 5. Collecting

分析：以上練習(xí)中，所填的詞均為句子的主語。主語是動(dòng)作的發(fā)出者，詞性主要為名詞與代詞（1-３）；動(dòng)詞不能直接用作主語，必須轉(zhuǎn)化成其對應(yīng)的名詞或動(dòng)名詞（４-５）。此外，形容詞前加the以及帶連詞的句子也可作主語。

例如：

The rich are not always happy. 句中the rich 指“有錢人”，因此可以作主語。

What I wanted was just your help. 句中What I wanted是一個(gè)帶有連詞what的句子，因此也可以作主語。

(2) 對謂語的判斷

John was standing on the step of a house. An old woman c________ over to him. “My boy,” she a_____ , “Is your father at home?” “Yes,” a_______ John. The woman b________ ringing the bell. She rang and rang, but there was no answer. At last she t_____ back to John and s______ angrily, “Didn’t you s______ that your father was at home?” “I did”, answered John, “but this i_______ my house.”

Key: came asked answered began turned said say isn’t

分析：語篇中的所缺詞均為謂語動(dòng)詞。謂語是句子所表示的動(dòng)作，詞性只能是動(dòng)詞，而且在句子中不能缺。當(dāng)一個(gè)主謂結(jié)構(gòu)中同時(shí)出現(xiàn)兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上動(dòng)詞時(shí)，還要判斷他們之間的相互關(guān)系，對謂語動(dòng)詞或非謂語動(dòng)詞的判斷只有在熟練掌握相關(guān)知識的基礎(chǔ)上，才能作出正確的判斷。平時(shí)練習(xí)和周練中，我經(jīng)常讓學(xué)生做些“用動(dòng)詞的適當(dāng)形式填空”練習(xí)，有助于對動(dòng)詞形式的判斷。

(3) 對賓語的判斷

1.  Mr. Chen was surprised to see the fast ________ in Shanghai after his long absence from the city. ( develop )

2.  The front is in great need of medical _____.( work )

3.  Thank you for your _______. ( kind )

4.   At last he sold his ______. ( invent )

Key: 1. development 2. workers 3. kindness 4. invention（s）

分析：賓語是動(dòng)作的承受者，分動(dòng)詞賓語與介詞賓語兩種。賓語的詞性同和主語的詞性一樣，單是如果代詞作賓語時(shí)就必須用其賓格。

(4) 對表語的判斷

1. It is ______ for an ordinary plane to fly to the moon. ( possible)

2. The sick man is getting ______. ( ill )

3.  Patrick is going to be a(n) ______ when he grows up.(engine)

4.  Such cold weather is quite _____ in June and people have to wear warm clothes again. （ usually ）

5.  It’s a ______ to have a picnic with all the members. （please ）

Key: 1. impossible 2. worse 3. engineer 4. unusual 5. pleasure

分析：表語是連系動(dòng)詞后接的成分。詞性主要為形容詞，名詞, 介詞短語。如果是動(dòng)詞

的適當(dāng)形式作表語，動(dòng)詞必須改成 to do ,doing 或 done 的形式。

(5) 對定語的判斷

1. The _______ exams usually take place at the end of June. ( finally)

2.  On a _____ night, you can see thousands of stars in the sky. ( clearly)

3.  In ______ weather, the old had better stay at home. (freeze )

4.  The French artist said, “It is my _____ time to visit Shanghai. I love

this city so much. ( one )

5.  Most people don’t like ________ food. ( freeze )

6.   Who is your ________ teacher? ( chemical )

Key: (1) final (2) clear (3) freezing (4) first (5) frozen (6) chemistry

分析:定語是修飾名詞與代詞的成分。詞性以形容詞，序數(shù)詞，介詞短語為主。名詞修

飾名詞說明后面名稱的性能或用途。如：stamp show / physics teacher。如果是動(dòng)詞

的適當(dāng)形式作定語，動(dòng)詞必須改成 to do ,doing 或 done 的形式。

(6) 對狀語的判斷

1. The old lady could hardly believe that she had got the travel pass to Hong

Kong so ______ (easy)

2.  Watch ______, and you will find the difference between the two pictures.

( care )

3.   After flying in the storm for nearly one hour, the helicopter landed ______ at last. ( safe )

Key : (1) easily (2) carefully (3) safely

分析：狀語是說明動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)，原因，方式，目的，結(jié)果，條件和伴隨情況

的成分。詞性以副詞為主，也可以是介詞短語。如果是動(dòng)詞的適當(dāng)形式作狀語，動(dòng)詞必須改成 to do ,doing 或 done 的形式。

(7) 對連詞的判斷

1. Work harder, __________ you’ll make great progress in English.

2. My job is to protect the innocent __________ find the guilty.

3. __________ you __________ he can go to the cinema, but you cannot go together because I have only one ticket.

4. Can you tell me _________ you are from?

5. I’ll give you a call __________ I get to Japan.

Key: (1)and (2) as well as (3) Either…or (4) where (5) as soon as

分析：在英語中, 并列連詞and, but, or, so , not only…but also, either …or, neither…nor, as well as, both… and等連接并列的詞,詞組和句子; 而從屬連詞則連接主句與從句。

Step2：在牢記了七種句子成分與十種詞性的對應(yīng)關(guān)系之后，多做綜合的“用所給單詞的正確形式填空”，有利于提高對句子成分的判斷能力。熟練掌握詞性轉(zhuǎn)化的技巧是通向首字母填空的第二步。

Step3：鍛煉自己的發(fā)散和歸納思維的能力，或稱為“猜謎”的能力。

Exercise : Guess the missing word.

1.  ________ are helpful to students.

2.  ________ are helpful to students. They give them knowledge.

3.  ________ are helpful to students. In class they teach them knowledge and after

class they care for them like parents.

4. ________ are helpful to students. They keep them healthy.

分析：按順序做你會不假思索地得出答案，1---4均為Teachers，全部解完后再思考，似乎第一題答案不僅僅只有Teachers。按判斷主語的結(jié)論，凡名詞，只要合乎邏輯，都可作為第一題的答案，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)Books也可，繼而得出結(jié)論：“一切有益于學(xué)生的復(fù)數(shù)名詞均為正確答案，如：Exercises、Doctors、Police、Parents…”。第二題受后一句knowledge的限制，答案要少一些，如：Teachers、Books，第三題限制更多，從“care for”判斷主語只能是人，即: Teachers。第四題受healthy的限制，最好填Doctors / Nurses。

以上練習(xí)說明解完形填空需要如下技能：

1. 對所缺詞的句子成分必須作出精確判斷，然后填入正確的詞性，即必須熟練掌握句子成分與詞性的對應(yīng)關(guān)系。

2. 必須訓(xùn)練自己擴(kuò)散性思維能力，如同猜謎，因?yàn)樵~義的確定依靠著對句中限制性信息的判斷得出。

3. 良好的語法基本功。在確定完詞性與詞義后，名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、形容詞的比較等級和動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的確定等等建立在良好的語法基本功之上。

Step4：對詞性、詞義、詞形的精確判斷階段，即綜合運(yùn)用階段

Mr. Wu is getting old. He is l_______ the school soon. The s_______ in his class have given h______ a lot of p_______. Among t______ are cards, note-books, photos and books. Most of the cards are m______ by the students themselves.

Photos will h_____ Mr. Wu remember the happy t_________ when he was with his students. Next week, t________ will have a p_______ to s ______ goodbye to him.

分析：通讀短文以后發(fā)現(xiàn)Mr. Wu 是一位老師。從old 可推斷他不久要退休了,所以

“l(fā)____” 應(yīng)為謂語動(dòng)詞 leaving ;“s____” 是第三句的主語, 結(jié)合 have 判斷為 students; “h______”是give 的賓語, 判斷為him ;“p_____” 的內(nèi)容是 cards, note-books… , 所以判斷為名詞presents; “t_____” 是介詞among 的賓語, 應(yīng)為them ; “m____” 處于be done by 的結(jié)構(gòu)中, 應(yīng)為過去分詞made;“h_____” 位于情態(tài)動(dòng)詞will 之后, 應(yīng)為動(dòng)詞原形help;“t_____” 是remember 的賓語, 并且受到happy 的修飾應(yīng)為 time；“t_____” 是主語, 名詞或代詞 teachers / they;

“p____” 是have的賓語, 前面有冠詞, 所以是名詞party；“s_____” 前有 to, 分析成分為目的狀語 to do 即 to say。

Step5：熟能生巧階段。 要做到舉重若輕，必須在前四步的基礎(chǔ)上作長期系統(tǒng)的訓(xùn)練，把上述知識演化為解題技能。

例如：

【2011上?！緿. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with suitable words .( 在短文的空格內(nèi)填入適當(dāng)?shù)拇?使其內(nèi)容通順. 每空格限填一詞, 首字母已給 ): ( 14分)

At one time, making a film was an expensive activity only for a small group of people and film companies. Not only were the tools and machines expensive but the cost of film was also far greater than most people could afford. However, modem technology has c 92 all that.

New technology has really opened up the world of film-making for film fans. Now a camera

does not cost m 93 and most young people are certainly able to pay for it. So all you need is to get one for yourself. With that, you may then start your own film-making.

However, film-making is t 94 work. You probably need many other people to help you.

For example, the p 95 of actors and actresses is very important in your film. Of course, these actors and actresses may be your schoolmates, friends or family members. You don’t even need to pay them a cent while they are glad to be part of your job.

B 96 , you need to make up a story. Can you write your own one? If you have good imagination, you can create an attractive story e 97 . Many world-famous film makers and producers are also good story-writers. If not, perhaps you need someone else to write it for you.

An excellent story is the key to making a s 98 film.

【主旨大意】

文章指出，隨著生活水平和現(xiàn)代科技的提高，人們自己制作一部電影已經(jīng)不再是什么稀罕的事。文章指出要制作一部優(yōu)秀的電影，除了優(yōu)秀演員之外，還需要有一個(gè)好的劇本，這是電影成功的保證。

92. changed 【解析】上文提到在過去，制作一部電影是一件十分昂貴的事，只有少數(shù)人和電影公司才能干。然而現(xiàn)在隨著時(shí)間的推移，現(xiàn)代科技將這一切都改變了，故填changed；

93. much 【解析】本句意為“現(xiàn)在一部相機(jī)花費(fèi)并不多”，價(jià)格大多數(shù)人都能坦然接受，故填much;

94. tiring 【解析】該句意為“然而，電影制作是一件很累人的事”，work是不可數(shù)名詞，故要說tiring work，不能加a;

95. population 【解析】下文中都是在談?wù)撾娪爸械哪切┠信輪T，加上謂語動(dòng)詞是單數(shù)，故應(yīng)填population；
