  完型填空是在一篇240—280单词的短文中人为地挖去若干单词和短语,要求考生通过阅读全文,掌握文章大意,并运用所学的综合知识在限定时间内从所给的选项中选出使文章意思通顺、结构完整、逻辑合理的最佳选项。它全面考查考生的语言运用能力、阅读理解能力、逻辑分析能力、推理判断能力及常识应用能力。

  一、 题目命制的指导原则

  英语知识运用的形式不仅考查

  考生对于不同语境中规范的语言要素(包括词汇、表达方式和结构)的运用能力,而且还考查考生对语段特征(如连贯性和一致性等)的辨识能力。也就是说,英语知识运用这部分试题对考生的考查上升到了一个更高的层面,提升为在语篇层次上考查学生运用英语知识的综合能力。它囊括了对语篇微观的语言要素(如词汇、结构和表达方式)和各项宏观结构(上下文的逻辑性和连贯性)的考查,并实现了二者的有机结合。

  二、 完形填空理解所需能力

  第一, 阅读理解能力尤为重要

  阅读理解是考生对文章的大意进行理解的第一步也是关键的第一步,只有对文章的大意有所了解,才能把题目做好。通过阅读,可以更加熟悉地了解文章的结构,词汇的设置,词语的辨识等。在阅读文章的时候,跨考教育英语考研(微博)辅导老师提醒广大2015考生们不要忘记了对第一句的阅读,因为文章首段的第一句通常会给我们一个整体的信息。

  下面是1999年~2010年研究生入学考试英语试卷中使用过的短文的首句,跨考教育英语考研辅导老师把其中分别包含的信息整理如下:

  In 1924 America’s National Research Council sent two engineers to supervise a series of experiments at a telephone—parts factory called the Hawthorne Plant near Chicago。(2010年,what,when,who,where)

  Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are。(2009年 what,how)

  The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. (2008年 what,how);

  By 1830 the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies had become independent nations。(2007年 when,who, how);

  The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population。(2006年who ,how);

  The human nose is an underrated tool。(2005年what,how);

  Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinguency(crimes committed by young people)focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. (2004年what,how);

  Teachers need to be aware of the emotional, intellectual, and physical changes that young adults experience. (2003年who,how);

  Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. (2002年what, how, when);

  The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers seeking to buy up people involved in prominent cases 1 the trial of Rosemary West. (2001年who,what,how);

  If a farmer wishes to succeed, he must try to keep a wide gap between his consumption and his production. (2000年who,why,how);

  Industrial safety does not just happen. (1999年what,how);

  第二, 扎实的语法是基础

  扎实的语法知识是考生理解英语文章的基础。尽管对语法知识的考查并不是历年试题的重点,但这并非意味着对语言掌握的要求降低了。语法是英语的基础,是理解文章大意的基础能力,只有对语法熟悉掌握,才会在做题的过程中游刃有余。

  A variety of activities should be organized 1 participants can remain active as long as they want and then go on to 2 else without feeling guilty and without letting the other participants 3 . (2003年第36题)

  1盵A]if only [B]now that *[C]so that [D]even if

  2盵A]everything [B]anything [C]nothing [D]something

  3盵A]off *[B]down [C]out [D]alone

  第2题考查考生对不定代词的用法和区分能力。A项everything不能与else连用。B项anything 与else构成词组表示“别的什么”,但其中有“别的以外任何事情”的含义。从上下文的语意来看,此处用anything不妥。C项nothing 一般用在nothing else than(只不过,仅有)中。D项something 与 else 构成词组表示“别的事情”,用在肯定句中,从语法和前后语意关系上来看,D项是正确选项。
