2014年英语高考大纲最重要的变化就是题型有重大调整,取消原来的15道单选题,新增10道语法填空题,分值不变总分仍为15分。
同样都是考语法知识,但单选和语法填空题却有很大不同。语法填空题是给出200字左右的一段短文或对话,段落中给出10个填空,其中填空是给出一个单词,填写它的正确词形,如形容词的比较级等,其余填空是结合上下文直接填词,这要求考生既要掌握熟练的语法知识,还要有一定的语言阅读能力。从单选题那种单独句子中的单独的语法考核,到短文中的语法实际应用,此次题型转变得更加灵活。
针对语法填空题如何复习,奇速英语名师提醒考生,应继续进行语法知识的复习,加强对词汇本身用法,如主、被、动,固定短语搭配,冠词、连词等运用进行复习。下面从考纲解读、应试点睛、专题训练三个方面进行详细说明:
【考纲解读】
语法填空是考查“词法与句法知识”的项目。词法部分侧重考查动词时态及语态、非谓语动词、情态动词、冠词、代词、并列连词、形容词与副词、介词等; 句法部分侧重考查定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、虚拟语气、强调句型、倒装、省略句等。试题本着“突出语境、重在运用、符合表达、体现能力”的原则,强调语法知识在具体语境中的运用,因此掌握一定的文化背景、揣摩说话人的意图成了解决语法填空的关键。
【应试点睛】
1.要仔细阅读题干,抓住关键词,捕捉句中隐含信息。题干中的关键词或关键符号具有提示信息的作用,一旦抓住了它,就能掌握选择的依据。几乎每年的高考题在题干设计上都有所创新,所以考生在考试之前应该有相应的心理准备。
例1.There's a ________ in our office that when it's somebody's birthday, they bring in a cake for us all to share.
A.tradition B.balance
C.concern D.Relationship
[解析] A考查名词词义辨析。句意:在我们办公室有一个传统,那就是在某一个人过生日时,那个人就带一个蛋糕到办公室和大家一起分享。tradition传统; balance平衡; concern关心; relationship关系。根据句意可知选A。
2.灵活采用还原法(把倒装式、强调式或疑问式的题干变换为陈述句,再选择就容易多了)、归类法(根据句意,把选项分组归类,缩小范围,提高做题的速度和确保准确性)、推理法(根据前后文进行逻辑推理,在四个选项都可填入的情况下,要认真阅读全句,仔细体会其语境,进行综合判断)、排除法(对于难度较大的题要逐个试填,最后,选取最符合语境的选项)等做题方法。
例2. I ________ sooner but I didn't know that they were waiting for me.
A.had come B.was coming
C.would come D.would have come
[解析] D似乎本题与虚拟语气不沾边,但是我们把“…but I didn't know that they were waiting for me.”变化一下就成了“…if I had known that they were waiting for me.”这样我们就知道,本空是虚拟语气的主句,与过去事实相反。
3. 多从交际的角度,即上下文的情景考虑问题,不要单一地局限于某项语法理论。近年来,高考题重视考查学生的语言实践能力,将语法语言知识放置于一定的语言环境中进行考查,这是近年来高考英语改革的一个方向。所以考生在做题的过程中应该树立全局观、整体观,不能顾此失彼,只注意语法知识的正确性而忽略了语境使用中的合理性。
例3. If you ________ smoke, please go outside.
A.can B.should
C.must D.may
[解析] C句意:如果你非要吸烟,请到外面去。考查情态动词的用法。can能够;should应该;must非要,偏要;may可以。根据语境可知选C。
4.高考中的单选考点分布相对稳定、集中。英语的时态、语态、非谓语动词、名词、代词、形容词、副词、冠词、情态动词出现的频率较高,尤其要引起重视的是动词、动词短语、各种习惯表达法及交际用法。
例4. The exam results will be ________ on Friday afternoon.
A.put down B.put off
C.put up D.put away
[解析] C句意:考试结果会在周五的下午被张贴出来。本题考查动词短语用法辨析。A项意为“放下,”,B项意为“推迟,阻止”,C项意为“张贴,举起,建造”,D项意为“收好,储存”。故选C。
5.对于含插入成分的句子,要抓住主干,排除冗余信息。
例5.It sounds like something is wrong with the car's engine.________, we'd better take it to the garage immediately.
A.Otherwise B.If not
C.But for that D.If so
[解析] D句意:听起来好像车的发动机出了问题。如果那样的话,我们最好立即把它送到修理厂。本题考查省略。otherwise在其他方面,否则;if not如果不这样的话,否则; but for that要不是那样的话; if so如果那样的话。根据句意应选D。
