完形填空巩固训练

A(故事类)

My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.

The first two 　1 　　there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang 　2 　　for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.

As we were 　3　 　on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them 　4　 　off at the walls or floor. However, one lady _ 5　 　my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn’t 　6　 　like that. As we got 　7　 　with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. _ 8　 　she was singing, she was also 　9　 　out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my 　10 　　were to my students. People who worked at the care center could 　11 　　to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling 　12　 　about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.

Justin also 　13　 　the same lady. The difference between us is that he 　14　 　on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her 　15　 　and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my 　16　 　to let you know that.”

This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No 　17 　　can completely describe that touching moment..

2、综合考虑，逐项填空

掌握文章大意后，就可以按顺序答题了，但并不意味着要依次一下子填好所有空档，可先借助自己的语感，利用上下文提供的情境，推测出可能的答案，然后，再结合备选项进行验证。

对那些较难的空档，可试着将备选项一一代入空档，然后从词汇意义及用法、习惯搭配、常识、逻辑推理以及上下文等角度，进行认真分析、比较，力求找出合情合理的答案。有时，前后信息之间还有相互提示的作用。答题时，要瞻前顾后，放眼全篇，切不可将思维局限在一两个空档或一两句话上。

对那些答案一时难以抉择的空档，可先用排除法尽量缩小答案的范围，然后根据“四分均等”的原则在该题已定答案中将涉及较少的那一个选项选做答案。

总之，遇到疑难空档时应该冷静、谨慎，切忌草率从事。否则，一旦选错一档，还可能影响其他，形成连锁反应。

二、技巧点拨

由于完形填空重在考查学生在语篇中综合运用语言的能力, 答题时就必须遵循“整体—部分—整体”的步骤，具体可分为以下三步：

1、通览全文，了解大意（完意）

通过浏览全文，可以迅速理解文章大意。如果提笔就填，势必由于“见木不见林”而事倍功半。须知文章的上下文之间是紧密联系的。某一局部成立的答案如果放到全文中去考虑，也许就不能成立，只有抓住全篇文章的主旨，才能选出既合乎语言规范，又合乎文章内容的答案。

如果通读一遍后，仍不能理解全文，则应冷静下来再读，切忌在不了解全文意义的情况下边读边填。

遇到生词要区别对待。若该词表示的是无关紧要的信息，可直接跳过去；若生词影响你理解全文，则可利用上下文、构词法等多种猜词技巧猜测出它们的含义。

倘若设空处影响你理解短文，可将备选项代入空档，也许你能从中找到理解的线索。

注意分析文章的首尾句。首句有开篇启示的作用，是观察全文的窗口，往往也是演绎型文章的主题句。尾句一般是文章的点睛之笔，常常也是归纳型文章的结论语。抓住首尾句有利于加快、加深对文章的理解。

每篇文章都是一个有机的整体，段与段之间在逻辑上必然前呼后应，句与句之间在意义上总是有着不同程度的联系。如果先通览全文，就能把握住文章的主题，理清文章的脉络，了解作者的思路。

4、语言地道、纯正，有一定的内容情节，避免选择专业性太强的文章，以免学生因受知识障碍和心理因素的干扰而影响语言水平的正常发挥。此外，还要回避那些对部分考生来说较为熟悉，而对其他考生来说可能较为生疏的材料，防止造成不公平。

3、上下文关系较为紧凑。

2、包含希望考查到的词汇、语法结构等语言项目。
