语法填空题是高考的必考题型,要求考生阅读一篇150—200词的短文,然后完成10个语法填空。该题通常只有3—4个空给出了参考词汇,其余6—7个空则要求考生根据上下文甚至全文的信息,进行分析判断,填入适当的词语。考生在做这一大题时,往往对没有给参考词汇的空感到无从下手,特别是句子较长或前后有干扰成分的题。因此,学会排除干扰可以帮助考生较好地完成语法填空题,突破难点。
1. 去掉修饰成分,排除视觉障碍。
[例1] (2007广东高考)...the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometers away 36there was a garage.
36题难倒了不少考生,答案是where,这是由关系副词where引导的定语从句,a small town 是先行词。而此题some 20 kilometers away 将先行词与定语从句隔开,给考生造成了理解上的障碍,干扰了考生快速而准确答题。因此,考生在解题时要果断地将修饰成分some 20 kilometers away去掉。
[例2](2008广州一模) I wanted to see 31much of the city as possible in the two days before I was to return to Guangzhou.
31题考生容易填so或too,而答案是as,因为as much as possible是固定短语,在做题时,要学会排除干扰,将修饰成分of the city去掉。
2. 注重语境理解,抛开定势思维。
[例1](2008广东高考) He was very tired
36 doing this for a whole day.
很少考生能填写正确答案,答案是after或from,意思是他做这样的事(拔苗) 一天后,非常劳累。而考生往往形成一种定势思维,一看到was very tired,就想到了词组be tired of (厌烦),毫不犹豫地填写答案of,不符合语境。这样就掉进命题人设置的陷阱了。
[例2](2009广州一模) With this the boy got up and walked away, leaving his father sitting on their comfortable sofa, totally40(speech).
极少考生能答对,考生往往会填spoke,因为他们看到speech,就会想到词性的变化,speech是名词,speak是动词, 其过去式是spoke。这既不符合句子结构的需要也不符合语境。正确答案是speechless, totally是副词, 后接形容词speechless表状态, 从语境上理解,应该是:听到儿子的一番话之后,父亲坐在舒适的沙发里,一言不发。
3. 注意长句中形式主语或形式宾语的运用。
[例1](2009广东高考) Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult31 was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.
有些考生可能会填that,没有理解这个长句的句子结构以及各个部分所充当的成分。 She remembered后接宾语从句,而在宾语从句中动词was前缺少了主语,答案是it,原因是it在宾语从句作形式主语,真正的主语是to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。
[例2](2009广东高考) 38 is now quite normal for a girl, once past the age about fifteen, to go out with a boyfriend, and although her parents will probably insist that she come home at a certain time, beyond this they depend on her to look after herself.
答案是It,在句中作形式主语,真正的主语是to go out with a boyfriend。
4. 掌握长句中连接词的作用。
[例1](2007广东高考) Cursing my misfortune, I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me were arguing as to32 should have the honour of receiving me as a guest in their house.
32题所在句是一个长句,很多考生一看就懵了,不知如何分析句子、寻找正确答案。 as to 是短语介词,后跟宾语或宾语从句;should have 说明有句子存在,所以should前应是一个能充当主语的代词性质的连接词(what, who, which ); 根据上下文,连接词在句中作主语指人,故填who。 此题的考点在于连接词的作用。
[例2](2010广东高考)We understand this lesson best40we receive gifts of love from children.
这道题大部分考生会填after,理解为:在收到孩子表示爱意的礼物后,我们才充分明白。而答案是when,句意是:当我们收到孩子爱意的礼物时,我们最能体会到这个故事的含义。
5. 跨度大的空,要注重把握整体,加强上下文的联系。
[例1](2007广东高考)37villagers brought me goat’s cheese and honey.
很多考生会填Some,单独看此空或此句,从语法结构来看,some villagers(一些村民)是对的,但要从整个篇章去理解,既要符合语法又要符合语义、语境,正确答案是Other, 因为相对于按排我们住宿的the old peasant woman和帮我们拖车去修理的村长来说,拿goat’s cheese and honey 给我的应是“其他的”村民。
[例2](2010广东高考) After the student left, the teacher let 36 student taste the water.
这是本段开头的第一句,考生易填other,而答案是another。由student单数可知前面代词应指一人,由下文(本段最后一句)He asked his teacher可知是另一个学生,同类中的另一个应用another。
