学习目标一:明晰完形填空题特点,不为选项所惑
一、完形填空试题的特点
1文章比较短,但是留的空多
一般说来,文章越短,挖空密度越大,由于失去的语言信息越多,理解文章的难度就越大,解答试题的难度也就会相应加大。作为测试学生的语言知识综合运用能力的试题,必须要保持一定的难度系数。为此,控制试题短文的长度是完全必要的。
当然,试题的难易程度还取决于文章本身的句子结构和遣词用句。如果通篇是简单句结构,用词简单,自然便于理解,容易选择答案。相反,如果文章多用非谓语动词和其他短语结构,多用大词、难词,则必然增强试题的难度。
2情景意义选择为主,语法选择填空较少
我们知道,完形填空试题,要求考生根据文章的整体内容、分层次的结构和内容的逻辑关系去选择符合文章情景的答案。这就决定了试题考查必须以情景意义选择为主。这种试题的特点是:在四个备选答案中,孤立地看对应挖空的句子都能满足句子的要求,无论将哪个答案填进去,从语法上说都是正确的。
与之相反,有的备选答案,无论排除错误项或者确定正确项,都需要依据语法知识,就叫语法选择填空。孤立地看挖空的句子及其备选答案,其解题思路和要求和试题中的“语法惯用单项填空”是完全一样的。
由于情景意义选择填空的需要,每一小题每一空的四个备选答案往往是相同的词类,其词形也相同。即:如果是副词,则都是副词;如果是动词过去分词,则都是过去分词等。即使个别小题中四个备选答案的词类有不相同者,其语法功能也往往是一样的。
3选择最佳答案
一般说来,试题四个备选答案中,有两个较为容易排除。剩下的两个词语在意义上和用法上十分接近,干扰性很强,迷惑性很大,难以排除一项,选定一项。这就增加了词语意义或用法细微辨析的内容。
4单词填空为主,短语或词组的整体填空为辅
这种试题设计可以使考查形式更加灵活,考查知识点更加细致。能扩大考查容量。
5备选答案的单词多以实词为主,虚词为辅
和每一小题中四个备选答案设置同一词类、同一词形一样,备选答案多设置实词,也是为了提高试题的难度,引导学生从整体上理解文章内容,全面接受信息,选出符合内容要求的答案,而避免引导学生过多地在词法上语言结构上下工夫,进行语法选择。因为虚词往往影响语言结构,会更多地反映语法问题。

The president appeals to labor and management to hold down wages and prices, but says not a word about any controls to be imposed by the Government.
The business and financial community has been given 1 that interest rates will soon be lowered, and that this particularly will 2 money available for more activity in new housing. Nobody in the Administration, however, is 3 specifically just when the high interest rates will 4 down.

Arthur Burns, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, has been 7 that the 8 money policy will have to be relaxed in order to prepare the 9 for a decline in interest rates.
It is apparent, 10, that uncertainty 11 even in Government circles, and that experimentalism 12 a reliance on past experience in 13 with wages and prices has been the reason why the nation has been drifting into a depression.
Evidently there will be no effort to impose wage and price controls 14 the political consequences are feared. So the 15 are that the Administration will try a new 16 to manage what it considers a slowdown by 17 just a little more inflation. This is a risky way to handle an economy which has a 18 national product of more than $950 billion.
Anyway, officials hope that their corrective measures will stop the slowdown in business and that the economy soon will 19 itself. So, in effect, the softspoken 20 of Government today is:“Recession, please go away!”
