完形填空突破(九)

　　——行文邏輯推理題

　　完形填空中有些答案的四個選項從詞匯搭配、語法和句子結構等角度考慮均行得通,但由于文章是一個完整的統一體,詞、句、段三者存在著內在邏輯關系,因此考生還要從上下文中尋找有關的提示或暗示,對文章的情節進行邏輯推理,抓住含有關鍵信息的詞語,理順句子之間的關系,確定正確的答案。

　　1．運用詞匯復現,輕松選擇判斷

　　復現有原詞復現、同義詞復現、反義詞復現、同根詞復現、概括詞復現等。完形填空題中,考生可以利用上下文的復現信息,確定正確的表達方式。

　　(1)原詞復現

　　為了表達的需求,有時在上下文中同一概念會重復出現。考生可以借助于上下文中的這一信息選擇答案。

　　(2)同義詞、近義詞、反義詞復現

　　同義詞、近義詞和反義詞復現是借助意思相同、相近或相反的表達方式,或解釋性的語言使上下文語意得以連貫起來。做完形填空時,考生應注意分析上下文中出現的解釋性語言。

　　(3)同源詞復現

　　另外,考生還可借助復現的同源詞來確定答案。

　　典例

　　The next morning the stranger,actually a sorcerer (巫師),thanked her by granting (允準) her26

　　that anyone who climbed up her tree

　　27

　　not be able to come back down until she

　　28

　　it.

　　When the children came back to steal her

　　29

　　,she had them stuck on the tree.They had to beg her long

　　30

　　she gave the tree permission to let

　　31

　　go.Aunty Misery was free from the

　　32

　　at last.

　　(2008·陜西)

　　28．A.permittedB．promisedC．answered D．declared

　　答案　A

　　解析　本題屬于同源詞復現類試題,根據上下文,下一段中出現了permission,即permit的名詞形式,結合語境,應選A項。此處意為“沒有她的允許不能下來”。

　　2．高屋建瓴,把握主旨

　　完形填空是考查綜合運用英語知識能力的試題。它主要考查考生對上下文的理解和邏輯判斷能力,而通常利用文章的首句,就能抓住文章的主旨文意并在主旨文意的引導下進行合乎邏輯的判斷推理,從而正確推斷出文章的隱匿信息。

　　典例

　　On the road of life,the help of strangers can

　　54

　　our loads and lift our spirits.How much sweeter the

　　55

　　will be when we make it a little smoother for others！(2008·重慶)

　　54．A.move

　　B．increaseC．lighten D．carry

　　55．A.worldB．journeyC．smileD．friendship

　　答案　54.C　55.B

　　解析　54.本句是對全文的概括。句意為：在人生的道路上,來自陌生人的幫助可以減輕我們的負擔,振奮我們的精神。move移動；increase增加；lighten減輕；carry攜帶。

　　55．選文原文通過作者在公共汽車上親眼目睹的一件事說明在人生旅程中給別人一點幫助能使世界更加美好。這一段點明了文章主題：假如我們都能為別人做一點善事,那么人生的旅程(journey)就會美好得多。1
