完形填空突破(九)

　　——行文逻辑推理题

　　完形填空中有些答案的四个选项从词汇搭配、语法和句子结构等角度考虑均行得通,但由于文章是一个完整的统一体,词、句、段三者存在着内在逻辑关系,因此考生还要从上下文中寻找有关的提示或暗示,对文章的情节进行逻辑推理,抓住含有关键信息的词语,理顺句子之间的关系,确定正确的答案。

　　1．运用词汇复现,轻松选择判断

　　复现有原词复现、同义词复现、反义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现等。完形填空题中,考生可以利用上下文的复现信息,确定正确的表达方式。

　　(1)原词复现

　　为了表达的需求,有时在上下文中同一概念会重复出现。考生可以借助于上下文中的这一信息选择答案。

　　(2)同义词、近义词、反义词复现

　　同义词、近义词和反义词复现是借助意思相同、相近或相反的表达方式,或解释性的语言使上下文语意得以连贯起来。做完形填空时,考生应注意分析上下文中出现的解释性语言。

　　(3)同源词复现

　　另外,考生还可借助复现的同源词来确定答案。

　　典例

　　The next morning the stranger,actually a sorcerer (巫师),thanked her by granting (允准) 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·陕西)

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

　　答案　A

　　解析　本题属于同源词复现类试题,根据上下文,下一段中出现了permission,即permit的名词形式,结合语境,应选A项。此处意为“没有她的允许不能下来”。

　　2．高屋建瓴,把握主旨

　　完形填空是考查综合运用英语知识能力的试题。它主要考查考生对上下文的理解和逻辑判断能力,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导下进行合乎逻辑的判断推理,从而正确推断出文章的隐匿信息。

　　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·重庆)

　　54．A.move

　　B．increaseC．lighten D．carry

　　55．A.worldB．journeyC．smileD．friendship

　　答案　54.C　55.B

　　解析　54.本句是对全文的概括。句意为：在人生的道路上,来自陌生人的帮助可以减轻我们的负担,振奋我们的精神。move移动；increase增加；lighten减轻；carry携带。

　　55．选文原文通过作者在公共汽车上亲眼目睹的一件事说明在人生旅程中给别人一点帮助能使世界更加美好。这一段点明了文章主题：假如我们都能为别人做一点善事,那么人生的旅程(journey)就会美好得多。1
