1、With these words I began to _ the problem, the problem of my telephone addictionA. face B. findC. acceptD. notice【分析】本文的主旨即是讲述一个打电话成瘾的人的故事。此信息提示给第一句即开门见山:直接面对自己的问题,故用face。And it began to affect my _1_. During the day I would disappear for _2_call. If I couldnt make a call, I spent the whole time wai
2、ting for the phone to ring. Getting more and more _3_, in the end, I would ring someone, then someone else, _4_ myself just one more call. 1. A. friendsB. studyC. familyD. work2. A. a quickB. a secretC. an expectedD. an extra3. A. hopefulB. delightedC. frightenedD. anxious4. A. forcingB. tellingC. g
3、ivingD. limiting正确答案分别为 DADB。本文的主旨即是讲述一个打电话成瘾的人的故事,他可以利用一切机会打电话,否则便心神不宁。根据这条主线,我们不难推断这一段的填词补缺。上文说到从早到晚的思想意识就是打电话,接电话,这条主线的贯穿一直会影响到我的work工作;上班时,很想打电话,又想尽量不影响工作,只好打个短时间的电话,快打快结束,故用a quick;如果因工作要求打不成电话,就盼望着别人来电话。别人不打来呢?便越来越着急不安anxious, 接着就是给别人打电话;给别人打电话时还要告诉自己:再打一个就行。主旨大意“打电话成瘾”贯穿得淋漓尽致。近几年四级考试完形填空题的最大特
4、点是-重点考查语境。所谓语境,就是指文章的上下文,它包括文章语气的一致性、意思的连贯性、表述的合理性、论证的逻辑性等。所以考生在做题时,一定要从整体上把握文章内容,区分文章的结构层次和文章的内在逻辑关系,同时认真比较所给选项,并从中选最符合语境的答案。请看一段实例:Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till Id got one. I had seen an agency advertised
5、in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the _1_ in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as _2_ as if I were going on the stage. Finding the _3_ quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please. ”1. A. bed B. houseC. agencyD. office2. A. proud B. plea
6、sedC. nervousD. worried3. A. family B. doorC. placeD. stage【分析】本文主要讲述作者去一个中介机构找工作的经过。第1题选 B,因为文章第1段已交代作者要找一份工作,所以作者在报上看到中介机构的广告后,就急忙冲出“家门”(house) 去找agency。第2题选C,主要是根据后文as if I were going on the stage(好像要登台演出)这一语境推出,因为“好像要登台演出”,其心情当然是既激动“又紧张(nervous)”。第3题选C,此处与上文in search of it (the agency) 呼应,the pl
7、ace就是the agency。不同国度的人语言文化、风土人情、历史背景等均不会相同。此信息在做题的时候,会给出很好的提示,因此,在平时,我们要做个学习上的有心人,多做一些这方面的积累。为做好完形填空又抹上了重重的一笔。 “It was all his own idea, ”says Pat, the wife of California high school football coach Bob Peters. Bob had just made a “motherhood contract(合同)”declaring that for 70 days this summer he wou
8、ld _the care of their four children and all the houseworkA. stick to B. set aboutC. think about D. take over【分析】此空一看就知道是对词汇辨析的考查。但也须有一定的内容的暗示和一定的文化背景的知识。即一所California高中的足球教练,平时照看孩子和家庭的机会很少(这在上下文也有信息的传递),所以,和妻子签订70天的“接管”照料孩子和家庭的和约。故选take over。and paid Tracy a (dollar)50,000 advance. “A pretty money”,
9、 said the publisher, “for _ writer. ”A. a foreign B. a popular C. an unusual D. an unknown【分析】在美国,当作家的职业并非是很令人羡慕的,这就是文化背景。本句的句意:出版商给了Tracy 5万美元定金,且说:对于一个不出名的作者来说是一笔不小的数目,对于foreign外国的/ popular受欢迎的/unusual非凡的作者就可能显得少了。这一理解显然也要根据美国作家职业的这一特定背景判断的。It was a FedEx delivery man, with a copy of a book on Chi
10、nese _. A. cooking B. history C. play D. medicine【分析】此题既有一定文化背景的暗示,又有逻辑结构的推理。Tracy想写出一个关于设定在中国古代的场景,没有中国的文化背景和相关的历史知识是不够的。故50题选B。What laughing arguments we had about the _ respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth. A. nearly B. naturally C. officially D. socially【分析】由上文提到的,因为大家都不知道
11、如何吃面,所以才会争论怎么吃。显然,涉及到文化背景的问题。由上下文得出,吃东西的方式和举止要得体,要符合一定的社会文化,所以选socially. 英语中,一些固定的句型和短语结构既是学习的一个难点,也是完形填空的一个常考考点。做题时应注意所填空之词与空格前后词语的习惯搭配。请看:Heres a fellow who just walks into a bank and helps himself _ so much money. A. for B. byC. to D. of【分析】help oneself to是固定搭配,意为“随便吃”,另外也有“随便拿”之意。如果考生只知道前一个意项,很容
12、易误选A。在本文中这个固定搭配是“随便拿钱(即偷钱)”的意思,所以答案是C。They not only make it difficult to sleep at night, but they are _ damage to our houses and shops of historical interest said John Norris, one of the protesters. A. doing B. raisingC. Putting D. producing【分析】本题考的是固定词组 do damage to。I started surfing about five yea
13、rs ago and _ in love with the sport on the very first day. A. stayed B. cameC. dropped D. fell【分析】此题应选D,因为fall in love with 是习惯搭配,意为“爱上”、“喜欢上”。尽管近几年完形填空主要考查考生对语境的理解,很少(或几乎不)考查纯语法知识,但是借助语法分析来帮助理解句子、推测语境、判断搭配等,这却是必不可少的。另外,有的完形填空题偶尔也直接考查语法,只是考查的方式比较隐蔽罢了。如:When Ed first phoned and we play, I laughed qui
14、etly, figuring on an easy victory. A. declared B. mentionedC. persuadedD. suggested【分析】文章整体上是用的一般过去时,但play是用动词原形,只有suggest才有此用法,即suggest加should加动词原形的虚拟语气形式。逻辑结构信息其实包含三个方面的内容:一是文章情节发展的逻辑信息;二是承接连贯词选用的逻辑信息;三是句式结构搭配的逻辑信息。掌握好了这几种逻辑关系,对于同学们做好完形填空又将会锦上添花。After her first _1_, teaching disabled children, she
15、 became a part-time writer for IBM. _2_, writing stories was simply a _3_ interest. 1. A. dutyB. effortC. jobD. task2. A. InsteadB. NormallyC. CertainlyD. Then3. A. general B. deepC. personalD. lively【分析】正确答案:1. C 2. D 3. C。由情节发展的逻辑信息可知,空后的teaching disabled children是前面内容的同位语,教残疾儿童应是一种工作,且后文有part-tim
16、e writer(业余作家),从逻辑角度也说明她有一份工作;又根据承接连贯词选用的逻辑信息可知:在当时,写作或写故事不过是她的一项个人兴趣,(逻辑推理)而不是工作或谋生的手段。_1_Tracys characters(人物)are interesting, her stories sometimes _2_ readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could _3_ the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me
17、 speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago. ”1. A. Now that B. Even though C. Just because D. Except that2. A. find B. turn C. leave D. hold3. A. make upB. connect with C. control D. explain1. B 2. C 3. B。由缜密的承接连贯词选用的逻辑信息可以分析判断:第一句的逗号前的内容“Tracy(创作的)人物有趣”,与逗号后的内容相反,有较强的转择关系。所以1空应填B. 这样整句从逻辑结
18、构上来说就合理了:尽管/即使她(创作的)人物有趣,有时她的故事使读者不安,那些超自人然故事;leave 的意思“使处于某种状态”。再由下文的一句 She used to . many years ago的句意:她过去常让我同已死去多年的外祖母说话。可以情节逻辑推理判断:母亲相信作者能同人死去的另一世界沟通。When I finished, I heard a cheer_1_ than the one Id heard earlier, I turned around and _2_ enough, the boys were preparing for their race. “They m
19、ust be cheering for the boys”1. A. weaker B. longer C. lower D. louder2. A. well B. sure C. surprisingly D. strangely1. D 2. B。第1空主要从情节发展的逻辑信息可知:自己跑完全程后,全场的欢呼更响了,是自己以前所没有听到过的。下文也有暗示:为了作者的勇气和坚韧而欢呼。第2空可根据情节发展的逻辑信息以及句式结构搭配的逻辑信息来判断:作者误认为这欢呼声是在为即将开赛的男孩子们欢呼,而不是为跑在最后的自己欢呼,对此,她确信无疑。结构是:enough修饰形容词sure,放置其后。这两题的参照指数主要依据逻辑结构信息。由于完形填空题是在一篇短文中挖去一些词,且绝大多数是一些实词,所以文章读起来肯定有一些难度。考生在做题时,千万不能不分难易地把所有试题一次搞定,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、有把握的先做好,对于一时没有把握的难题,可以暂时跳过去或初拟一个答案,说不定后面会有对这道题的提示。把容易的做好后,文章空格也随之减少,整篇文章的意思也就会变得更清晰,这时难题也许就会变为易题了。
