A. 做完型填空的方法。
我们一般认为完型填空题属于送分题,因为考题通常是从当年教材所给出的文章中挑选一篇直接出题。但需注意在考题设置时并不是原封不动将原文搬过来,而出题点和空格的设置都会有变化,这就说明平时在做题时不要背答案,而且要把文章中所有的单词尽可能都弄明白,否则送分题也有可能成为丢分题。因此,我在这里建议大家在复习时要紧扣教材,不要在从外面找不相关的题做,这样是一点帮助也没有的!
完型填空,即cloze,旨在考察综合运用英文能力,考题主要从3个方面设计:1)词法结构 2)语法结构 3)前后逻辑关系。词法上考查实词(动/名/形容词)比例高于虚词(副/介词)。另外还有多义词/短语;短语的固定搭配等等。因此我们在讲课时会逐字逐句帮大家理解每篇文章,体会做该题的技巧。
那么,在大家做完型填空题时最好能在文章标题的指引下,先通读全文,对文章大意有个了解,接下来在细读这个环节中才会有的放矢,而不会像没头苍蝇瞎蒙乱猜。最后一遍是查读,顾名思义,边检查边读,将一些拿不定主意的最后确定下来,这样效果会最佳。
