完形填空命题原理是格式塔心理学,格式塔心理学又称完形心理学,格式塔心理学家认为,由于经验作用,人们在观察物体形状时,无意识地把形状中的空缺补上去。据此,英国学者威尔逊·泰勒在1953年率先设计出完形填空,因而做好完形填空,要先完形(通读全文掌握文章大意)再填空(根据文章大意填空)。
高考完形文章一般300词左右,加上15个题或20个题的4个选项单词,也就是说做好一篇完形,能掌握大约400词,因而完形对于英语单词积累至关重要。
笔者根据教学实践和经验,总结出1234突破完形填空。
一种思维
出题者思维(时刻有一种出题者思维,平时在读英语文章时,就要想如果我是出题人,拿到这篇文章,我会在哪些地方挖空,这是一个循序渐进的过程,但是潜移默化你就会发现自己会慢慢关注题眼、出题点,甚至自己也会出题了,无论师生,每个人都用这种思维去训练自己)。
两个思路
(1)没有无缘无故的空,每一个空都能在文中找到答案(这就要求我们要不急不躁,联系上下文)。
(2)不设空的部分往往比设空的部分要重要(这就要求我们要关注文中未挖空信息,作为题眼和做题线索,抽丝剥茧,寻找答案)。
三个步骤
每次做完一篇完形填空,不要立刻做下一篇,或者一口气做6、7篇,那样的刷题是无效的,尤其对于基础不好的同学来说,过度刷题徒增烦恼和负担,不如做一篇会一篇,做一道会一道。因此,精研考点、吃透真题才是上策,做完一篇完形以后,建议按如下步骤操作。
(1)归纳错误,查漏补缺:核对答案后,弄懂错误,并对错误类型进行归纳。从词性看,统计自己经常错的是形容词还是名词;从题目类型看,统计自己错的是同义复现题还是逻辑题,从而有针对性的加以练习。
(2)梳理脉络,检测背记:背诵文中、选项重点单词,分析摘抄部分长难句或美句,并及时多次进行单词和长难句、美句记忆的检测。在掌握文章结构脉络的基础上,不看选项,直接念全文,熟读成诵。
(3)总结技巧,变式训练:分析出题位置和题目设置结构,总结答题策略,针对完形进行变式训练,可以将文章改编成语法填空,可以将文章美句改成仿写句子,可以根据自己错的比较多的地方再进行重新挖空,检测背记成果的同时加深对正确句子的记忆。
四个注意
(1)顺藤摸瓜:把握文章的主线,完形填空多为夹叙夹议文章,主题多出现于首尾段落以及抒情处,要多加关注。
(2)寻求最佳:A、B、C、D选项感觉读着都符合逻辑,但是要选最佳选项,比如乡村振兴政策让人民生活改变(change)和改善、提高(improve)两个都对,但是change这个词是中性词,可以向好的方向变,也可以向不好的方向变,但是improve是褒义词,因而更精准,所以入选。
(3)左顾右盼:文章不是我们写的,题目不是我们出的,总按照自己内心戏去编排剧本,最后的结果只能是错误频出。这正是:
做题贪快不细看,
读完一遍就要选,
戏精附体瞎联系,
一片红叉泪心间。
因此,做完形一定要联系上下文,联系语境去选,在选每一个答案时,一定是在文中找到依据,而不是主观臆断、强加联系。
(4)把握关键:做完形填空时一定要注意近义词、反义词、形容词、逻辑词 and/ but/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/in addition/what’s more/though 等关键词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文,起着承上起下的作用。
例题:
My name is Ally Del Monte. I remember it clearly. When I was 10 years old, my 41 and I were on our first vacation at Disney World, and we were going to a “Pirate and Princess Party” (海盗和公主派对).

The lady at the shop said, “I’m sorry, she’s too fat to be a princess.” I was only 10 years old, and I was 48 because I thought I would never be 49 enough or skinny (极瘦的) enough to be the princess that I wanted to be.

长难句翻译:

仍然很难找到一件适合我尺寸的公主裙,但我和妈妈决定自己做一件,做一件神奇的公主裙来向10岁的自己证明我就是一个公主,我不必寻找某种方式成为一个公主。

本文要注意里面的关联词,通过关联词能帮助我们梳理好文章逻辑,并在上下文找到答案。1234破解完型,只要坚持不懈,一定会有所收获!
本篇通过叙述自己的经历,在最后一段突出主题:每个人都可以成为公主,真正的公主不是拥有漂亮的外表,而是拥有美丽的内心。我们每个人都是世界上独特的个体,英语不好,成绩不好,家境普通,长相普通,都不是我们放弃努力的借口和自卑的理由,相反,正因为如此,我们才要更加拼命努力,向自己证明天道酬勤,证明命运也有漏网之鱼,证明命运给我们一把烂牌,我们也能逆风起舞,绝地反击!
完形填空并不难,
一二三四抓关键。
多背多思重基础,
坚持不懈勤操练。
