7、strike, my journey to work can be terrible. i remember a strike, which happened a few years a_1_the station near my house was closed and i had to use another station and take a different train. this a_2_about an hour to my journey, so i wasnt veryhappy. e_3_went wrong at the station. people were lat

8、e and they were panicking! by the time i go to the train, i was feeling upset and sorry for myself. then i saw this man. there was something about him-he had such a familiar f_4_.a few minutes later, i realized that he was jack, a fiend from my school days in scotland.at the same time he a_5_realize

9、d who i was. then we started talking about school days and the people we both used to k_6_.i was even more surprised when the train came into my station and he started to get off too! i asked him w_7_he was going and he said he was going to work. he told me he worked in fitzroy street. you see, i wo

10、rk in fitzroy street, too. its a small w_8_!it was such an amazing coincidence!全文概況是身處英國的作者在經(jīng)歷一次他印象深刻的倫敦地鐵罷工事件時(shí)，巧遇他舊日在蘇格蘭的同學(xué)的故事。在截取這樣一個(gè)素材時(shí)，出題者選取了8個(gè)詞匯作為得分點(diǎn)。第1空的答案是ago。此處很少有同學(xué)失分，把握一般過去時(shí)的必要的條件就是要有一個(gè)表示段時(shí)間的a few years,再看文中其余動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)就很容易推斷出是指幾年以前。第2空的答案是added.此處失分的同學(xué)不少，其難點(diǎn)有二：先是要判斷此空所需單詞的詞性是什么。讓我們跳過空格審視一下剩余部分

11、還缺少什么句子成分？該句主語、賓語都在，只有中間的謂語不見，由此推斷該處應(yīng)為開頭是a的動(dòng)詞，作者一再強(qiáng)調(diào)此次罷工是terrible的，那么消極影響就必然是增加作者的麻煩。并且該句后面有一個(gè)介詞to出現(xiàn)，那么什么動(dòng)詞既表示“增加、添加”又可以和to一同使用呢？那么只有add符合條件。第一個(gè)難點(diǎn)解決了，下一個(gè)就要看時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)統(tǒng)一原則，把a(bǔ)dd改為過去時(shí)added。很多同學(xué)過了難點(diǎn)以后就不再關(guān)注細(xì)節(jié)了，導(dǎo)致只填了add而失分。第3空的答案是ev-erything.原則同上。第4空答案是face.作者偶然注意的人身體上的哪個(gè)部位會(huì)是以f開頭的呢？有face, foot等等可能，顯然填腳是“令人眼熟的”

12、似乎不大合乎邏輯，能一眼被人辨認(rèn)的人體部位就是面孔，因此判斷是face。第5空答案是also.副詞的考察這已經(jīng)是第二次出現(xiàn)了，通觀這一句，所有主要成分無一缺席，惟有表示“也、同時(shí)”的副詞才符合題意，因而確定為also.表示在作者認(rèn)出這樣一個(gè)老同學(xué)的同時(shí)，對(duì)方也同時(shí)辨認(rèn)出了“我”的身份。第6空答案是know.此句是一個(gè)包含省略關(guān)系代詞“that/who/whom”的定語從句的復(fù)合句，先行詞可確定是people,而表示“認(rèn)識(shí)/知道”含義的以k開頭的動(dòng)詞只有know。第7空答案是where.先要復(fù)習(xí)一下賓語從句的概念，它是指在主從復(fù)合句中充當(dāng)賓語、位于及物動(dòng)詞、介詞或復(fù)合謂語之后的從句。引導(dǎo)賓語從句

13、的連接詞有：連詞that，whether，if；連接代詞who，which，what以及其強(qiáng)調(diào)形式whoever，whichever，whatever；連接副詞when，where，why，how等。本句及物動(dòng)詞ask后很明顯應(yīng)該銜接的是雙賓語，其中有直接賓語人稱代詞him,后面就要跟一個(gè)由任意連接副詞引導(dǎo)的賓語從句做間接賓語。再向后看，發(fā)現(xiàn)“老朋友”回答作者他是要去工作，從而確定選擇連接副詞where代指地點(diǎn)。第8空答案是world.此句是非正常形式的感嘆句，雖然不是由“what/how”引導(dǎo)，但后面的感嘆號(hào)仍說明了該句的性質(zhì)，在判斷出了以上7個(gè)空白后，同學(xué)們可輕易知道作者感慨的是“這世界真

14、?。　泵~world等均包含在初中英語學(xué)科教學(xué)基本要求里。以上8個(gè)空白應(yīng)填的每個(gè)單詞或是其變型形式，都沒有超出課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的要求，甚至大部分單詞的字母數(shù)都不超過5個(gè)。可見中考英語試題中首字母填空類題目并不是要在單詞難度上做文章，而是要全方位地考察同學(xué)們對(duì)所學(xué)知識(shí)點(diǎn)的綜合判斷能力以及總體語言應(yīng)用水平。只要平時(shí)多注意加強(qiáng)訓(xùn)練自己的能力，并且多選有價(jià)值的文章自我整合，還是很有可能取得進(jìn)步的。英語完型填空解題技巧及考題分析完形填空解題技巧考點(diǎn)分析: 完型填空一直是考試必考題型,而且在整卷中占相當(dāng)大的分值,如果該部分失分嚴(yán)重,會(huì)影響學(xué)生英語最終成績.因此,學(xué)生必須熟練掌握完型填空做題技巧,同時(shí)通過一定量專題

15、練習(xí),提高做題的正確率.注:學(xué)生該部分失分特別嚴(yán)重,所以必須加大該部分的練習(xí).一.完型填空最常用的四種解題法:1.總體把握:要通讀完形填空的短文，跳過空格快速閱讀，了解全篇的主要內(nèi)容。切不可把寶貴的時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在個(gè)別字句推敲上。2.弄清體裁:文章體裁通常分為四種：論述文、記敘文、說明文和應(yīng)用文。中考選文以敘事性文章為主，如：幽默故事、科普知識(shí)、童話、簡短新聞、名人軼事、社會(huì)熱點(diǎn)問題等。讀這類文章，要大體上了解故事所涉及的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件及前因后果。3.重視主題句:完形填空所用的短文一般不給標(biāo)題，但短文的主題句，往往在每段文章的首句，有時(shí)也出現(xiàn)在文章的中間或結(jié)束處。主題句提供全篇的性質(zhì)、大意等

16、，這是深入了解全文的“窗口”，甚至能以語句為立足點(diǎn)，從該句的時(shí)態(tài)、語氣推測(cè)全文的主要內(nèi)容。4.語境聯(lián)想:利用上下文的提示，用學(xué)過的知識(shí)和已有的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)，掃清部分詞匯理解上的障礙。二.三種解題技巧：1.詞語搭配(1)從語法角度來說，句子不是詞的序列，而是詞組的序列。(2)因搭配關(guān)系而產(chǎn)生的一般性詞匯。如：see a film(3)詞序和意義皆以固定的復(fù)合詞和動(dòng)詞短語。如：push ahead with(奮力前行)。(4)因詞組而構(gòu)成的常見的句式：it feels+形容詞+不定式，在搭配判斷時(shí)，注意：要區(qū)別外形相近而意義不同的搭配。如：look for, look over, look out,

17、look after, look up等。要區(qū)別形不相似而意義相近的搭配。如：i paid 12 pounds for the dictionary. the book cost me a lot. it took three men to lift the box.句中都有“付出、花費(fèi)、需要”的意思。譯成漢語時(shí)似乎相通。但更要注意它們之間的搭配變化；要注意單個(gè)詞組的多義性。如：take off有“脫下(衣服)，(飛機(jī))起飛，匆匆離開，取下，休假等多種含意。2.語法判定(1)要注意出現(xiàn)頻率較高的詞類題，依次為動(dòng)詞、介詞、代詞、連詞、形容詞、副詞。選擇各類詞時(shí)，要注意以下幾個(gè)方面：a.名詞的選擇

18、，應(yīng)聯(lián)系文章主題及空格前后出現(xiàn)的有關(guān)詞，注意其性和數(shù)的一致。b.動(dòng)詞的選用，要注意詞義和慣用搭配，還要區(qū)分近義詞之間的用法差異及所給詞的形式。c.選擇介詞，應(yīng)注意其慣用法，特別是與動(dòng)詞或其他詞組成的固定搭配。d.選擇代詞，要注意性、數(shù)、格是否準(zhǔn)確。e.選擇連詞，要注意分析前后句或上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。f.選擇形容詞和副詞，要注意詞義的區(qū)別，用于比較時(shí)，還要注意詞形變化。(2)要注意句法題，搞清句子的種類、類型、省略和倒裝a.句子的種類包括陳述句、疑問句、祈使句和感嘆句。一般以考查疑問句、感嘆句的詞序?yàn)槎嘁姡浯问瞧硎咕涞牧銜r(shí)態(tài)等。b.句子的類型有簡單句、并列句、復(fù)合句和并列復(fù)合句。中考考查要點(diǎn)是在

19、復(fù)合句里的狀語從句、賓語從句和直接/間接引語，也考查簡單的定語從句。c.句子的省略與倒裝很少考查，卻要看懂，不能引起對(duì)文章的曲解。(3)在語法適用方面，可以用擇優(yōu)法和排除法a.擇優(yōu)法是把各選項(xiàng)代入短文中，選出在詞義上符合要求，且在語法上又沒有語病的答案。b.排除法是在代入選項(xiàng)時(shí)如發(fā)現(xiàn)選項(xiàng)單詞意義不對(duì)，或詞與詞搭配不妥，或存在語法錯(cuò)誤，或與上下文有矛盾，則迅速排除不合適的選項(xiàng)，剩下的就是正確答案。3. 例舉對(duì)比。在完形填空的多項(xiàng)選擇中，常常會(huì)遇到難以選擇的題目。需要調(diào)動(dòng)頭腦里的知識(shí)“儲(chǔ)備”，例舉熟知的語言現(xiàn)象與之相比較，再做出明智的選擇。一般的解題過程是：1.通讀全文，掌握大意。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)初步弄清

20、短文寫了些什么內(nèi)容。2.瞻前顧后，分析先行。在理解全文意思的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容對(duì)空缺句子作合乎邏輯的推理。必須弄清空缺詞句的確切含義，空缺詞句與其前后句的意義銜接必須自然、合理，不可出現(xiàn)意義斷層或說東道西的情況，必須從空缺句的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)入手，從語法、詞語固定搭配、詞形變化等角度考慮，務(wù)必使所填的單詞準(zhǔn)確無誤。3.反復(fù)推敲，攻克難關(guān)。如果做不出來的話，可能要改變一下思路。如實(shí)詞多與文章的內(nèi)容直接相關(guān)，虛詞多與文章的連貫性或句子結(jié)構(gòu)直接相關(guān)，如果從內(nèi)容上實(shí)在看不出要填哪個(gè)單詞的話，應(yīng)考慮是否需要填介詞、連詞等。4.驗(yàn)證答案，修正錯(cuò)誤，著重注意這幾點(diǎn)：(1)文章是否順暢；(2)所填單詞是否是最佳單詞

21、；(3)所填單詞是否有拼寫錯(cuò)誤。答題分三步： 第一步： 通覽全文:通過通覽全文，便知本文講述許多人學(xué)習(xí)英語。學(xué)習(xí)英語的人年齡不同，目的各異。 第二步：逐項(xiàng)填空,本著先易后難的原則，先根據(jù)上下文和自己的語感，推測(cè)部分空格的可能答案。然后，再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)逐一敲定。 最后須提醒大家一點(diǎn)，做好完形填空題并非一日之功。我們應(yīng)從平日學(xué)習(xí)中做起，多積累，勤學(xué)苦練，方可成功！have a greater success in the future！三、 實(shí)例點(diǎn)撥 請(qǐng)根據(jù)下面短文內(nèi)容，在短文后面的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇一個(gè)能填入空白處的最佳答案。 a every year students in many countrie
