夹叙夹议类完形填空夹叙夹议类完形填空技巧点拨夹叙夹议类完形填空从近两年的高考完型来看,很多完形往往在平淡的叙述中蕴含着深刻的人生哲理,鉴于这一点考生不仅要理解文章的字面意思,更重要的是挖掘文章的内涵,只有这样才能透彻理解文章做好完型填空。
一、夹叙夹议文体的特点夹叙夹议的文章是高考完形填空题中最有难度的,也是最热点的一类体裁。
所选文章语言地道、寓意深刻、可读性强。
叙夹议文体就是一方面叙述某一事情,一方面又对此事加以分析与评论。
这种表达方式中的叙与议是一个有机的整体,“叙”是“议”的基础,即议论不能脱离记叙,必须在记叙的基础上展开;“议”是“叙”的渗透,即议论在记叙的基础上发展,且有一定的深度与广度。
二者水乳交融,互为一体。
这种文体的语言既有记叙文的特点:借助叙述、描写、抒情等手段记叙社会生活中的人、事、景、物的情态及其发展过程,用以表现作者思想,抒发作者情感;时态以一般过去时为主,其他时态为辅;广泛使用动态动词;适当运用直接引语。
同时又具有议论文的语言个性:语言自然、客观、准确,逻辑性强,且具有概括性。
在遣词造句方面多使用虚拟语气、让步状语从句和can, may, might, could, would, should等情态动词。
此类完形填空一般有以下三种结构特点:1. 事例——观点。
先叙述作者自己亲历或所见所闻的一件事情,然后针对这件事情发表自己对生活的看法,或揭示生活的真理。
2. 观点——事例。
先提出一种观点或看法,然后围绕这一观点或看法用具体的事例来说明,一般是一个事例,有时也会用几个事例从不同的侧面加以说明。
3. 观点——事例——观点。
提出一种观点或看法,然后用事例说明,最后再进一步阐述或总结自己的观点。
二、解题技巧解题时要做到:1. 读好短文首句,琢磨文章内容。
完形填空的首句一般不设空,是完整的一句话,信息就从这里开始,它暗示或告诉读者下文将会说什么。
正确利用首句信息对于把握文章大意是极其重要和有效的。

Once I got German, I was 42 ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a 43 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 44 languages seemed a good way of achieving that.

2018年5月17日高考频度:★★★★★难易程度:★★★☆☆During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be 21 him. I hated the place. I had never 22 been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was 23 —almost 125°F even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). 24 a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed, were 25 with sand, sand, sand!I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was 26 and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I 27 be in prison! My father answered my 28 with just two lines — two lines that will always sing in my 29 — two lines that completely changed my life:Two men looked out from prison bars,One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.I read those two lines 30 . I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present 31 ; I would look for the stars.I made friends with the natives, and their 32 amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had 33 to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus. I watched for the desert sunsets, and 34 for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the sands of the desert had been an ocean 35 .What brought about this 36 change in me? The desert hadn’t changed, 37 I had. I had changed my 38 . And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing 39 of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered.

备战2018年高考英语之高频考点解密【考纲要求】夹叙夹议的文章是高考完形填空中最有难度的,也是最热点的一类体裁。
所选文章语言地道、寓意深刻、可读性强。
文章常常在平淡的叙述中蕴含着深刻的人生哲理。
此类选材倾向于注重短文本身的教育意义。
作者首先叙述一件事,在叙述过程中或结束后发表自己的看法或由此事引出一个深刻的社会问题。
文章的显著特点是首句可能在传达一个事件信息或透视一种社会现象,而后对此进行高层次评价,或由此引发一种深层次思考,具有记叙与议论的双重性,文情并茂,发人深思。
解题时,应借助上下文乃至全文的语境揣摩作者的心境,及其对各个角色、各个事件的态度。
【命题规律】一、先叙述作者自己的某一个生活经历或见闻,然后针对这一事件发表自己对生活的看法,或揭示生活的真理。
二、作者先提出一种观点或看法,然后围绕这一观点或看法用具体的事例加以说明,有时也可能是用几个事例从不同的侧面来说明。
三、提出一种观点或见解,然后用某一事例来阐述这一观点,最后再进一步地总结和升华。
此类完形填空三种结构特点如下表:【应试策略】一、关注首句,领会大意通过首句可以明确文章话题,了解篇章结构,预测全文内容。
尾句往往是作者的点睛之笔,通过尾句一般可以更加真实、确切地体会到作者的写作意图、对待事件的真实态度等核心内容。
例:From my second grade on,there was one event I feared every year:the piano recital(独奏会)和尾句的With his first recital,my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30plus years ago.表明了文章的主旨:作者本来很反感弹钢琴,但是父亲的行为感动了自己。
作者认为他的实际行动比30多年以前说的话更有感染力。
