首字母填空讲解I.知识考点首字母填空类短文题是近几年中考试题经常采用的题型之一,因为它有非常好的信度和效度,又能拉开考生间的分差、提高区分度。
这种题型属于能力测试的范畴,它考查的范围极广,可以是英语知识的方方面面,还可能涉及其它学科。
它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来,并且单词形式合理,符合语法规范,符合短文需要。
这种试题的首字母已给,所填的就必须是该字母开头的单词。
这既是一种限制,又是一种提示。
可是这种题型因难度相对较大,考生失分现象比较严重。
学生要仔细阅读全文,利用上下文提供的有关信息,再仔细阅读相关句子,判断所缺单词的句子成分,才能完成练习。
完型填空式中考试卷中最难的题型,最能测量考生实际运用语言的能力。
要做好此类题目,考生不但要有较强的语感,善于体会上下文的内在联系,而且要有扎实的语言知识储备和较大的词汇量。
考查重点是名词、动词、形容词、副词和代词这几大词类。
首字母填空特点及中考趋势:1)首字母填空题答题时要求既要使所填的词在语法和语义上正确,又要使其符合短文内容与情景的需要,所给出的词首字母同时起着提示和限定的作用。
它不仅考查学生在词汇、语法等方面的基础知识,还考察理解、推导、分析等综合能力。
2)从近几年的考题来看,短文填空题所考查的单词涉及的词性范围较广,几乎涉及到了十大词类;文中所涉及的语言知识面较宽,学生需运用已学过的词法、句法及常用词组、短语、惯用法等知识进行具体分析后再答题,有一定的难度。
文章短小、精致,字数通常在100~150之间。
短文的体裁不一,有记叙文、说明文、议论文等。
短文题材丰富,内容通俗易懂,与现代生活紧密相关,如:英国人分期付款购房;度假回来的路上买家具的小故事;食物对不同年龄段的人的不同影响;被驯化的动物可以为人们做事情等,可读性、趣味性强,符合初中生的认知特点。
根据首字母提示填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试的范畴,它考查的范围极广,可以是英语知识的方方面面,还可能涉及其它学科。

上海市中考英语首字母填空练习首字母填空类短文题是近几年各省、市中考题经常采用的题型之一,这种题难度相对较大,考生失分现象很严重。
主观型首字母填空也称为限制型完形填空。
它的特点是将一篇文章中若干个词“掏空”,留下该词的首字母,它既作为提示又作为限制,让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整,使文章连贯。
学生们在通读全文、掌握大意的前提下,采用先易后难,再逐项填空的应试策略。
做题时要通过字里行间来捕捉信息,既要理清逻辑,又要综合考虑,最后通过复读全文来消除疏漏。
给首字母填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试的范畴,它考查的范围极广,可以是英语知识的方方面面,还可能涉及其它学科。
它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来,并且单词形式合理,符合语法规范,符合短文需要。
下面就讲一讲做这类题的方法与技巧:1. 通读短文知大意,看整体全面了解与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样,首先要通读短文,了解文章的大意。
每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。
因此通读全文时要一气呵成,只要能了解短文的大意即可,细节不理解可以跳过。
因此,在解题之前通读一遍短文,目的是对文章有个全面的了解,弄清其中心思想和大意。
2. 复读短文抓信息,前后照应巧猜词在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文,目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。
在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头(一般不设空)和结尾,它们能提供主要的信息,帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。
在阅读过程中,要注意上、下文的关系,这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。
另外,要学会跳读,即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式,待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。
有些短文填空题,有时出现约3%~5% 的生词是很正常的,这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测,来确定它的词义。
3. 反复推敲多分析,慎重答题讲技巧再次通读短文,对留空的句子进行全面的分析,看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。
这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读,要留心找出关键词、短语或句子,还要结合所给首字母的提示,进行填写,并注意单词的正确形式。
回答问题也是主观题之一。
一般来说,6道题中,前5道都是细节题,只要注意两点:①没有字数限制的情况下尽量回答完整。
②由Why引导的问题一定要由Because回答。
③注意提问的时态,比如is,was,did等。
而最后一题,通常是开放性试题,这种题要注意,只要不是特别离谱的回答一般都对,就是不能只写一点答案,后面要加一句句子,比如说原因之类的,不过尽量回答时别超过横线的长度考写作4分文采分,主要有两种得分方式:谚语俗语+复杂句型。
谚语俗语不用多说,写对用对就能得分比较简单。
至于复杂句型要求比较高,不是所有从句都可以,比如状语从句、宾语从句运用是最基本的。
文采分加分句型主要有以下几个:定语从句(限定、非限定)、强调句型、同位语从句、倒装句...In the Renaissance Period(文艺复兴时期)(1500-1650),people became interested in higher education. They wanted to learn the a_____ languages such as Greek and Latin languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science,and so on. Many university were set up during the 16th century.University education was a privilege(特权) of the rich. Girls were not allowed to attend and poor people could not a_____ to go.

Poor children r_______ attended school.The renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were old. They did scientific experiments themselves to search for a________ to the mysteries(神秘) of the space. Copmicus calculated that the Earth turned around the sun but was afraid to publish his works for fear that the Church would punish him. Calileo later supported this. The watch, the telescope and some others were some inventions of this period.1. ancient 学会从前后文中找关键词后文中出现such as / old times , 很显然是要大家填写关于old time language 的一个总称2. afford 根据句意判断女孩不允许进入大学,穷人支付不起学费3. done 根据句意,他可以在不同的大学,不同的国家学习,原因是教学都是用拉丁语来完成的。

Napkin (餐巾)etiquette has developed over time.According to proper etiquette today, one should put one’s napkin on one’s lap (膝盖)as soon as everyone is seated at the table. When one excuse oneself and leaves the table for a few minutes, one should leave one’s napkin on one’s chair. When one is finished with one’s meal and is leaving the table, one should 81 one’s napkin to the right of one’s plate.What was napkin etiquette like before it developed into what it is today? In ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman times, the etiquette was quite different. Napkins were much 82 . Often, they were as large as bath towels. Banquets (宴会)usually lasted for hours, and people ate with their hands. Although finger bowls filled with83 would sometimes be available, the large napkins were necessary if one wanted to stay reasonably clean.A second use for the napkin developed in the sixth century B.C. Roman society. At thattime, 84 were expected to take food home. The uneaten food was wrapped up and carriedin one’s napkin. It was considered not polite to leave empty-handed.Napkin size changed 85 with an invention. The invention that caused this size change was the fork. Since people began to use forks, their hands no longer get as dirty as before. Although napkins became smaller in size, many Europeans did not use them. The custom was to wipe one’s hands on the tablecloth. At that time, tablecloths were so large that one could use a part of it to cover one’s lap. Covering one’s lap with the tablecloth served two purposes (目的). One could wipe one’s hands on it, and one could protect his lap from getting dirty.80.
