考试要求
完形填空主要考查学生综合运用语言的能力,要求学生从语篇层次上把握语言材料,在阅读理解的基础上进行逻辑推理,综合运用所学习的语言知识。完形填空主要考查对于文章上下文的理解和把握能力;对于词汇的意义和用法的理解和运用能力;根据生活常识进行推理和判断能力;对于习惯用语和短语的固定搭配掌握能力。 1. 完形填空的命题方式:
完形填空一般是200多个单词的短文,有目的地删除一些单词,留下空白让学生去还原。多数试题设计10-15个空,但是短文的第一个句子一般不设计空白。大部分试题是提供四个选项让学生选择能够填入空白处的最佳答案。也有部分试题是不提供选项,留下空白让学生去填所缺的单词。第三种试题是把删除的单词打乱顺序放在方框内让学生选择。 2. 完形填空的题型:
完形填空题所提供的短文大部分是记叙文,也有说明文和议论文。短文的题材广泛,可能包括幽默故事、英国文化知识、环境保护和学生校园生活等。完形填空考查的重点主要集中在下面这些方面:
(1)词汇题,可能是近义词的用法辨析或者是动词、名词、形容词、副词等词义和用法等,学生通过对上下文内容可以较容易地找出答案。
(2)常见固定搭配和习惯用法题,一般涉及到动词短语、介词短语等的搭配和用法。
(3)逻辑分析题,必须在掌握全文的主旨大意的前提下,通过对故事的线索、短文各段的逻辑关系、短文内容之间的逻辑关系及人物情感的发展等的分析和理解,选出答案。中考完形填空综合了语法知识、阅读理解和逻辑推理等方面的知识点,更加注重语言知识的应用性,突
