高考英语复习完形填空:考点解析说明文5
说明文型完形填空
专题导读
说明文往往围绕一个问题从不同的侧面来加以说明,通常结构严谨,句子结构复杂,因此也是高考完形填空题中较难理解的一种文体。说明文一般有三类:一是实物性说明文。包括说明书、广告、解说词、人物介绍、知识小品、知识注解等(实物是指国家、城市、人物、山水、树木、花草、虫鱼、鸟兽、建筑、文化古迹、科技成果及各种工农业产品);二是事理性说明文。包括理论性解释、文书简介、教材等(事理是指观点、立场、名词概念、学术流派等);三是文艺性说明文。即把说明对象拟人化,进而编成故事,对其进行介绍。
具体特点为:
1. 开头点题。做说明文型完形填空时,要明确说明的对象是什么,是具体实物还是理论性概念。因此,明确说明的对象是掌握说明细节的前提。在近年的说明文型完形填空题中,作者一般在文章的首句直接提出说明的对象。
2. 结构清晰。把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明文的写作一般按时间顺序(指先后顺序),空间顺序(从局部到整体、从上到下、从内到外),逻辑顺序(前因后果、先果后因、先主后次),认识顺序(由此及彼、由浅入深、由具体到抽象、由现象到本质)。
说明文型完形填空短文层次清晰,整体性强,所以,递进性词汇和名词的设题往往出现得较多。说明文往往较直白,写作脉络清晰,又没有很多感情因素的掺入,所以就不会有过多的情感词汇,自然不会有钻不出的“迷宫”。据此特点,我们便可以跟着“作者”走,理清整篇文章的思路,从而顺利答题。

新题预测
Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his
___1__. Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very
__2__. So, what makes blogging different from writing in a(an)
__3__
diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more
__4__
than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of
__5___
that he does not want to
__6__.
It's interesting that someone who writes in a blog
__7__
a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She
__8__
about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.
__9__
I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but
__10__
in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was
__11__
that my sister might read it!
The biggest
__12__
with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something
__13__
about her in my diary, she would never know. __14__, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend
__15__
read her blog and get angry.
There are also
__16__
to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” __17__
would know about it. However,
if my sister wrote
the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would
__18__
respond(回应)and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people
__19__
in contact with their friends and
know what the people

them are doing.

【要点综述】 这是一篇说明文,说明了博客和日记相比的优缺点。这篇文章和我们现实生活贴得很近,解答问题时要多考虑实际,做起来就比较顺手。
1.B 通读全文,了解大意知:作者一直在比较“博客”和“日记”的优缺点。根据语境判断译文为:很久以前,如果一个孩子在他的生活中有一些问题,他可能回家写在他的“日记”里。
2.D 通过后一句what makes blogging different from writing in a … diary?我们可以判断出是说两者不同。故选D。
3.D “在很多方面,日记和博客是有很大差别的。所以,写一篇‘传统’日记和写一篇博客有什么差别呢?”这需要我们联系实际生活,A意为“老的,旧的”,放在文中,语意不通顺,排除A项;B意为“真的”,放在文中,语意也不通顺,所以也排除;C意为“每天的”,和“日记”本身含义重复,所以排除;D意为“传统的”,放到文中最恰当,故D为正确答案。
4.C 联系实际或通过了解下文大意我们很容易判断出“博客和日记相比,最大的不同是:博客更加‘公开化’。”故选public。
5.A 上句中“博客”和“日记”最大的不同是,“博客”更公开化,相反,我们很容易猜测出“日记”充满了“秘密”,所以选secrets。
6.B “通常情况下,一个青少年对待她的日记像一本充满‘秘密的’书,她不想和别人一起‘分享’书的内容。”“秘密”当然不能与别人分享,所以选share。
7.D 根据语境判断译文:一件有意思的事是,某个人写了一篇博客,这和他的日记可能完全一样,但是它是博客,而不是日记。“而不是……”用固定搭配instead of。
8.C 在博客上“写”文章,应用writes。
9.B “当我像她这个年龄的时候,……”,“当……的时候”,应用When。
10.A “当我像她这个年龄的时候,我写跟她相同的东西,但是我‘仅仅’写在我的日记里。”只有A项放到文中,语意通顺,符合实际情况。故A为正确答案。
11.D 把日记藏起来,当然是怕别人发现,所以显得很“担心”,故选worried。
12.C 通过仔细阅读这段文字,不难看出作者是在写博客的最大“问题”,所以用problem。
13.B mean 此处表示“刻薄的,不客气的”。
14.A 此空前后为转折关系,所以要用表转折的连词However。
15.D “然而,我的妹妹如果把对朋友不好的话写在博客里,这位朋友就可能读到,并且很生气。”所以选might,表示有这种可能,但把握性不大,只是一种推测。
16.C 仔细阅读文章最后一段不难看出,这段是讲博客的“优点”。所以选advantages。
17.B “没有人关心我,没有人知道我为什么而悲伤?”联系实际我们很容易判断出主语应有否定形式。所以选B。
18.D 联系实际,互联网传递信息是瞬间的,只要她的好朋友看到这篇博客,回应应该也很快。所以用quickly。
