从历年考研英语完形填空的统计中我们可以发现,完型填空的出题考察点集中在上下文的逻辑关系、词语辨析、语法考察、感情色彩等上,由于考察点比较多,而且出在一篇四百字左右的短文中,给广大考生的答题带来很大的难度。为使得考研学子能够在考场上用最快的速度取得最好的成绩,辅导专家总结一些答题技巧,供广大考生参考。
完型填空的解题步骤
第一步:先略读,掌握整篇文章的中心主线,或者文章大意。
第二步:精读,首先,重点读文章的首句或首段。考研英语完形填空中,第一句话往往是没有空缺的,而第一句往往是全文的中心,或者能为全文的做题提供一个依据,因此考生一定不可放弃对第一句的把握。首句之后的第二句往往也很重要,也可能是总述句的范畴,建议根据情况重点读。第二,再重点读每一段的首句。最后找出空旁边的相关信息,进而推理出空的正确选项。
以1995年考题为例:
The purpose of non-REM sleep is even more __43__. The new experiments, such as those described for the first time at a recent meeting of the Society for Sleep Research in Minneapolis, suggest fascinating explanations __45__ of non-REM sleep. (95)
43. A. subtle B. obvious C. mysterious D. doubtful
45. A. in the light B. by virtue C. with the exception D. for the purpose
分析:只要细心寻找即可发现,文章开头说的“the purpose of non-REM sleep”和结尾的“_of non-REM sleep.”遥相呼应。所以45填D。而在后文的fascinating就指示43应填与其同义的词,故43题选C,因为两者都表示“神秘的、为之着迷"的意思
第三步:填空后,再进行整篇通读。
完型的复习重点
首先,词汇的辨析和固定搭配占到完型出题量的60% -70%左右,是最重的部分。所以,考前词汇的准备对于完型显得尤为重要。但最为有效地复习词汇的关键是要掌握完型对词汇考查的特点:完型考查的都是考研大纲所要求的词汇,在这些词汇中重点用来考完型的不过1500-1600个左右。
Successful safety programs may _45_greatly in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of the program.
A alter B differ C shift D distinguish
第二,注意前后逻辑关系,做完型填空,需要把握各段落、句子之间的逻辑关系,这样才能加深对文章的全面理解,因此,应熟记表达各种不同逻辑关系的连词,这些逻辑关系词主要包括:
表示列举的连词:first, second, third…;firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude…
表示原因的连词:because, since, as, now that…
表示结果的连词:so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result
表示让步和转折的连词:however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever
表示对照的连词:on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely
表示补充的连词:also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what’s more, too, either, neither, not…but…, not only…but also…
表示时间顺序的连词:when, while, as, after, before, since, until, as soon as, once
表示目的的连词:that, so that, in order that, lest, for fear that
表示条件的连词:if, suppose (that), supposing (that), unless, in case, so (as) long as, so far as, on condition (that), provided (that), providing (that)
例如:
Getting enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for excess vitamins. Many people ____ believe in being on the "safe side" and thus take extra vitamins. (96)
A. nevertheless B. therefore C. moreover D. meanwhile
第三,复习语法。语法部分的测试是英语知识运用的主要内容之一。但是要求都不高,都是高考考点和热点,大家只要复习一下高考语法就可以。例如:
They do not provide energy, __ do they construct or build any part of the body.
A either B so C nor D never
分析:本题考察有关倒装的语法知识,neither/nor 否定词+助动词, 表示:也不…
