上好英语“完形填空”评讲课
“完形填空”题是英语试题中的一大难题,它既能检测学生的基础知识,也能检测学生的基本技能,考查学生英语知识的综合运用能力。“完形填空”所选短文一般在200-300词之间,短文内容富有生活气息,体裁主要有记叙文,说明文和夹议的文章,而且文章常伴有心理活动的描述和个人观点的阐述。正因其综合性强,逻辑推理又比较难,令很多学生对“完形填空”望而生畏,因此,我们对“完形填空”的精心评讲就显得尤其重要。下面我结合一篇短文来评讲这一题型。It was time to go to work, and I stepped outside and walked slowly down Madison Avenue Street. It was the best time of the year for my 36 :the summer when many tourists came to New York. I got to the city square and saw a man in his late 30’s. He looked 37 . “Perfect,” I said to myself. I calmly and 38 stepped up to the man.
“Hello, Sir. Can I help you?”
“Yes. I am looking 39 the Madison Hote!.”
“Oh, go three blocks down, and 40 a right turn. It will be on your left.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Have a good day, Sir.”
I walked 41 with not only a smile on my face, but also with the man’s wallet in my pocket. A couple of hours and four 42 later, I had got six credit cards and 726 dollars. And at this time, I saw another man. He was walking in circles. Anyone 43 easily recognize that he was lost. 44 ! I carefully approached him…
I was very happy when I 45 the man’s wallet. I found three hundred dollars and three credit cards. Evening came and I started on my way home. When I was 46 through a small alley(小巷)I saw the first man again. A little girl had 47 down, and he was kindly helping her up, 48 the mother mistook 49 was going on. She started to yell for help. A few men came carrying bats(棒子).They all started 50 him. They just would not stop. Then, one of them pulled out a 51 and stabbed(刺)him. The man was lying 52 in his own pool of blood.
He probably came looking for me when he was killed. It was 53 . I had stolen from this man when he needed 54 . I had not only stolen his wallet, but also his life. I was 55 . God had given me a second chance to realize what I had done.

1. 文章主题内容:本文以第一人称叙述了一位小偷从假意好心帮助别人,在别人毫无防备的情况下,轻易偷取别人钱财的过程,一位被偷钱的人因为误会被殴致死给了“我”深深的震撼,“我”也因此良心受到责备。
2. 全文结构:这是一篇夹叙夹议的短文。全文分三部分:
第一部分:(从文章开头到倒数第三自然段),叙述了“我”一次又一次轻易偷取别人钱财的过程。描写“我”“工作”的具体场景和心理活动的词有walked slowly(寻找目标),many tourists(为工作提供了十分有利的条件——人多又对本地不熟悉)。Perfect, calmly ,carefully approached ,(“我” 对偷东西已胸有成竹)与正确答案中的work,lost,confidently,away,wallets,could,perfect在气氛上和逻辑上完全吻合。
第二部分:(文章例数第二自然段)描述“我”正沉浸在一天丰硕的战果时,一件意外的事发生了。作者运用以下一些词把“我”假意好心助人实为偷窃钱物,还得到别人感谢,和“他”真心诚意助人却被误会导致被殴致死,作了鲜明对比,也为下文“我的自剖自责”作了铺垫。这些词有“I”—— very happy. “He” —— kindly help her up,mistook,yell for help,carrying bats,stabbed him,lying dead,本段最后一句话使故事达到高潮。
第三部分:(最后一自然段)意外发生的事使我受到了极大的震撼,良心受到了极大的谴责,“他”在寻求“我”的帮助时,“我”却偷了“他”的钱包,而“他”在给予别人帮助时却丢了性命,“我”由衷地发出“It’s unfair”, “I was responsible”的呐喊,使作者的灵魂得到了升化。
如果对该故事情节有比较深刻的认识,这几个空是容易填出来的。
3. 难点解析
42题(D),此题干扰项是C,容易误解为“几个小时过去走过了四条街之后”,但根据下文I had got six credit cards and 726 dollars可判断出,此处为“偷了四个钱包后”更为合适。
45题(C)根据下一句小偷发现的钱包中的物品可知,他应该是“打开”钱包的时候很高兴。
46题(C)本句指“我穿过一条胡同时”,而不是“往胡同里看”。
53题(D)“他在寻求我的帮助时,我却偷了他的钱包”——这显然是不公平的,故选unfair。
4. 记忆以下新学词语
(1)walk in circles原地打转
(2)pass through a small alley穿过一条小巷
5. 答案
1—5 ACDAD 6—10 ADDCC 11—15 CDAAB 16—20 DCDDC
练习题评讲完之后,再次给学生总结做题方法,那就是
一看:先通读全文,掌握大意,为正确完形做准备。
二做:利用捕捉的信息,注意细节和情节的发展变化,利用平时所学字、词、句知识选出最佳答案。
三检查:把选好的答案带进文中,看行文是否流畅,内容是否连贯,逻辑是否合理。个别难以确定的答案,凭语感来做。
