1、高考英语语法填空题考点分析与解题技巧语法填空题的设置是全国卷高考英语试题的一项创新,它将语法知识的考查置于一篇英语短文中,通过设置纯空格题填空和给词填空两种形式来表现,突出考查了学生通过语境运用语法知识的能力,更能客观、准确地考量学生的语法知识水平。此题虽然只有15分,占英语全卷分数的十分之一,但也是英语考卷的重要组成部分,不容忽视。要想此题有好的发挥,学好语法,注重运用必不可少,这是基础;了解考点,掌握解题技巧才是确保得分的关键。一、语法填空题命题原则及考点分析。(一)命题原则:1.短文题材:题材多样,或体现文化内涵、文化交往,或给人以启迪等。2.短文长度:约200词,一般不超过12句话,设
2、10个空,句首不设空。3.短文难度:没有超出课标的生词,但有课标单词的派生词,此题考查考生在特定语境中语法的分析和运用能力。4.考点设置:只能填一个词的纯空格题:设6-7个小题;用所给的词填空题:设3-4小题。纯空格题通常考冠词、介词、代词和连词等词;给词填空通常考谓语动词的时态和语态、非谓语动词、形容词和副词的比较级和最高级、此类转换等,答案可能是一个单词、两个单词或两个以上单词。5.常常会出现所填词位于句首,目的是考查该单词的第一个字母要大写。(二)考点分析:语法填空题主要考查的是语法和上下文的连贯性,而语法是重点。它主要考查的内容为高中英语大纲要求的基本语法知识、词汇、习语和较为简单的英
3、语表达方式的掌握情况。具体考点和命题特点如下:1每一个空格的设置都必定涉及到某一条或某几条语法规则,不会单纯考查单词的拼写和词组的用法。【例1】In Greece women had little freedom.Wealthy women hardly left their houses,but they _(allow) to attend weddings and some festivals.【解析】 因allow 与 they 在逻辑上是动宾关系,要用被动语态,用 be allowed;由 had 和 left 可知 be 是过去式;主语是复数 they, be 的过去式应是 wer
4、e, 答案就是 were allowed. 此题就涉及到动词的时态、语态和主谓一致三条语法规则。【例2】The _ why I was sad was that he didnt understand me.【解析】因为why引导的定语从句,前面的先行词一定是reason.此题看起来是考查填入适当的名词。但实际上是考查定语从句.2.考虑语境。既然采用短文形式来考查语法,其目的就是要利用短文以较强的语境特点来命题,否则,就不如用单句来考查语法了,考生要想填出正确答案,至少要理解整个句子的意思或各分句之间的逻辑关系,或者需要理解前后几个句子,甚至整个段落或篇章。【例3】Several change
5、s have brought wild animals to the _.Foremost, air and water quality in many cities have improved as a result of the 1970s pollution control efforts.【解析】:在冠词the后必定是名词,再根据下句确定填cities。本题若只根据设空格本身,而不阅读并理解下文。是无法填出正确答案的。3.考点分散。基本上一个空格代表一个语法点,十个空格有可能涉及十个或十个以上的语法点。至少也得有7个语法点。因此,重复考查某项语法的可能性较小,填词相同的空格几乎没有可能
6、。4.适当提示。涉及到动词的时态,语态、非谓语动词、词类转换等需要词形变换的空格,要紧扣上下文的信息提示。【例4】Oil prices have risen by 32 percent since the start of the year,_(reach) a record $57.65 a barrel on April 4. 【解析】reach及后面的内容是伴随着谓语动词的发生而产生的自然结果。用现在分词作状语,故填reaching。【例5】It would be _(believe) that such an honest fellow should have betrayed his
7、 friends!【解析】因为在系动词be后作表语。要用believe的形容词形式believable,由句意“这样一个老实人竟会出卖朋友,真难以置信”可知,要加前缀变为反义词。故答案是unbelievable。5.考题一般涉及到的语法项目:1)动词与介词或副词搭配构成的固定动词短语;2)冠词的用法;3)连词的用法,包括从属连词和并列连词;4)派生词的用法。5)动词的适当形式(包括谓语动词的时态和语态以及非谓语动词的用法等);6)情态动词的用法;7)定语从句。名词性从句、状语从句的引导词等。8)代词的用法:人称代词、指示代词、物主代词、反身代词、不定代词等。特别提醒:1)适当注意倒装句中的助动
8、词和强调谓动词的助动词的用法;2)名词的数和所有格有可能在给词填空中考察;4)要填写的词位于句首要注意大写;5)考生需要具备句子结构分析的能力:首先,应熟练掌握简单句的五大基本句型;其次,要充分了解词类及语法功能;再次,要会分析并列句,主从复合句等;要懂得两个简单句间不用分号或句号,就必须用连词,否则句子结构不完整。二、语法填空题解题思路和做题技巧。通过对命题思路和考点的分析。考生对此题要“考什么”和“怎么考”有了明确的认识。接下来要弄清楚的是“如何做题”和确保考试得分的问题了。下面就谈一谈这方面的事。(一)解题思路。做语法填空题时,可以用一种由大及小的思路去(其根据是此题的特点-语境与语法相
9、结合)思考答案。也就是说,可以从“篇章,句子,词汇”三个层面去思考。1.通读全文,了解大意,弄清文脉。考生不要读一句就填一个答案,首先要把括号有提示的空格视为已知条件,通读全文,了解文段内容及要点。2.结合语境,试填空格,先易后难。基本了解文章大意后,就可以动手填空了。分析句子结构与空格、边读边填,遇到一时想出来的答案,不要用太多时间停留在此题上,先跳过去,做后面的题,待填完其他空格后,再回过头来细细推敲此空的语义,填入最佳单词。具体体现为八条思路:思路1:根据语法知识填空。根据已学语法,分析空格及句意,填入正确答案。【例1】He must be _ (mental) disabled.【解析
10、】disabled是形容词,修饰它的词应是副词,作状语,故填mentally.【例2】lots of rescue workers were working around the clock,_(send) supplies to Yushu, Qinghai province after the earthquake.【解析】根据句意和句子结构可知were working 为谓语,空格表示伴随,因此答案为sending.思路2:根据逻辑关系填空。通读全文,把握作者的思路,联系上下文语义,分析归纳,填入符合词义、句意和上下文情景的正确答案。【例3】On Sunday morning in Au
11、gust I went to local music festival. I left it early because I had an appointment _ (late) in the day.【解析】根据上下文内容可知,作者“先去音乐节,随后早些离开因为要去赴约”,late要用其比较级later,表示赴约在后。思路3:根据语篇的标志填空。语篇是指比单个句子长的语言单位(句群、段落、篇章等)。语篇间往往有标明内在关系的词,我们称这些词为“语篇标志词”。如表示结构层次的有first,second,third,finally等;表示转折关系或变换话题的有 however,but,by t
12、he way等;“语篇标志词”对迅速理清文章脉络,弄清上下文关系很有帮助。【例4】Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is _ , it it will never return. Therefore we should make _ use of our time to study hard so as to serve our country in the future.【解析】由表示转折的However 可知,第一个空格是表示时间的“失去”,应填gone/lost;由表示结果的There
13、fore可知,应充分利用时间,第二个空格应用full或good 来修饰名词use.思路4:根据固定词组填空。熟练掌握一些常见的词组,如:as a matter of fact, make up ones mind, take part in depend on/upon, by the way, keep in touch with, earn ones living,等,对解题有很大帮助。【例5】It is easy for him to make up _ mind and also easy to change it.【解析】表示“下决心”是固定词组make up ones mind,
14、因此答案是his.思路5:根据句型搭配,如so/suchthat;It is(for sb) to do sth; There is no doubt that; There is no sense in doing sth等来解题。【例6】_ is known to all that the time we can use is limited.【解析】是It isthat主语从句的句型,作形式主语要用it,故填 it.【例7】He feels it his duty _ (help) others.【解析】句中it 是形式宾语。要用to help (others)作真正宾语,故填to he
15、lp.思路6:根据词汇知识填空。指根据某些词语在用法上的特殊搭配来解题。如下列各类动词必须牢记:只能接动词-ing形式作宾语的动词; 只能接to do 作宾语的动词; 接to do 作宾语补足语的动词;接to do 作宾语补足语的动词;接 done 作宾语补足语的动词;对句式搭配要求较为特别的词语等。【例8】The temple in bad condition needs _ (repair).【解析】need实义动词是“需要”的意思,其后如果表示主动,用to do,如果表示被动,就用v-ing 或 to be done,故答案为repairing 或to be repaired.思路7:根
16、据生活常识填空。【例9】Do not put off what can be done today _ tomorrow.【解析】结合生活常识,不难理解句意为“不把今天能做的事情推迟到明天去做”,答案自然是表示“直到”的till/untill.思路8:根据文化背景填空。【例10】After the flood Mr Deng was as poor as a church _.【解析】这句话的意思是“水灾后邓先生一贫如洗了”。as poor as a church mouse 是谚语“一贫如洗”的意思。因此此处填mouse.3.验证复查,清除难点。将所有答案填入空格,并把整篇文章从头至尾读一遍
17、,对所填写的内容进行检查修正,以最后确定答案。(二)解题技巧。所谓解题技巧指的是:遵循一般规律,分析具体情况,结合语境做出正确判断。1.纯空格题的解题技巧。首先,分析句子结构,确定填哪类词;然后,根据句子意思确定填什么词或根据两句间的逻辑关系,确定用什么样的关联词。具体有以下七种技巧:技巧1:缺主语或宾语,一定是填代词或名词(代词考的更多)。【例1】i can send a message to Kenya whenever I want to, and _ gets there in almost a second.【解析】and 连接前后两个句子,and 后面的句子缺主语,应填名词或代词;
18、结合前一个分句,不难推知,空格处应填it, 代替前句的message.技巧2:名词前若没有限定词(冠词,形容词性物主代词,不定代词等),很可能要填限定词。【例2】the head of the village was tying his horse to my car to pull it to_ small town some 20 kilometres away where there was a garage.【解析】因单数可数名词town 前还没有限定词,应填限定词,根据句意,天不定冠词a,表示“一个”。技巧3:句子不缺主语、表语,动动词后不缺宾语的情况下,名词或代词前面一定是填介词。
19、【例3】who should have the honour of receiving me _ a guest in their house.【解析】完全符合技巧3的情况,填介词无疑,根据句意可知,此介词的意思是“作为”,用介词as.技巧4:若两个或几个单词或短语之间没有连词,可能填连词。【例4】these paintings by two world-famous artists,Pablo Picasso _ Candido Portinarni, which are worth millions of dollars.【解析】空格之后两个名词之间没有连词,再根据句意,这里需要并列连词a
20、nd.技巧5:若两句之间没有连词,也没有分号或句号,一定是填并列连词或从属连词。【例5】I wanted to see as much of the city as possible in the two days _ I was to return to Guangzhou.【解析】空格前后是两个句子,它们之间要填连词,根据两句之间的逻辑关系,可知“参观”在“回广州”之前,故填before.技巧6:若结构较完整,空格后的谓语动词是原形,特别是与上下文的时态不一致时,很可能是填情态动词或表示强调或倒装的助动词(do,does,did等)。【例6】What is acceptable in on
21、e country _ be considered extremely rude in another.【解析】符合技巧6的情况,再根据句意及语气,填may(表示“可能”)。技巧7:由特殊的句式结构来判断空格应填的词。这些特殊句式有:强调句式、倒装句、it用作形式主语或形式宾语、so/suchthat句型和morethan等。【例7】and _ was only after I heard she became sick that I learned she couldnt eat MSG(味精)!【例8】_ with hard work can you expect to get a pay
22、 rise.【例9】Dating sites also make _ easy to avoid someone when you are not interested in.【例10】This made the goat so jealous _ it began plotting the donkey.【解析】例7是强调句式,应填it;例8是倒装句,根据句意应填only;例9考查 to avoid(真正宾语)的形式宾语it;例10是sothat句型,应填that.2.给出动词填空的解题技巧。首先,判断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。然后按照以下两点进行思考:技巧8:若句中没有别的谓语动
23、词,或者虽然已有谓语动词,但需填的动词与之是并列关系时,所给动词就是谓语动词;若是谓语动词,就要考虑时态和语态。【例11】He _ (pretend)that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice.【解析】 此句没有谓语动词,pretend 应是谓语动词,它与主语He是主动关系;再根据从句中谓语动词was可知,要用一般过去时,故填pretended.【例12】In Logan, three people _ (take) to a hospital, while others were treated at a local clinic.【解析】
24、因主语three people 与 take 是被动关系,故用被动语态;由were treated可知,要用一般过去时,故填were taken.技巧9:若句中已有谓语动词,又不是并列谓语时,所给动词就是非谓语动词。若是非谓语动词就要确定用-ing形式、-ed形式,还是用不定式形式。【例13】_ (speak) out your inner feeling wont make you feel ashamed, on the contrary【解析】此句已有谓语wont make,所以speak要用非谓语动词;谓语之前应为主语,故填Speaking.【例14】_ (complete) the
25、project as planned, well have to work two more hours a day.【解析】 因句中已有谓语 will have to work,所以complete 是非谓语动词;根据句意,非谓语动词在这里作目的状语,用动词不定式 to complete.【例15】I got on the bus and found a seat near the back,and then I noticed a man _ (sit) at the front.【解析】此句的谓语动词是三个并列的动词got on,found和noticed,表示接连发生的动作,所以sit
26、要用非谓语动词;通过分析可知sit应是宾语补足语,它与宾语a man是主动关系,用sitting.【例16】The headmaster went into the lab, _ (follow) by the foreign guests【解析】此句的谓语动词went,所给动词与谓语不是并列关系,应用非谓语动词形式; the headmaster 与follow是被动关系,故填followed,作伴随状语。在语法专项训练中,把握好语法填空题的命题动向,熟悉考查内容,理清做题的思路,掌握做题的技巧,就可以做到:有的放矢、有章可循、事半功倍,从而提高做题的效率和准确性。希望此文能对广大考生有所启
