英语完形填空上下文语境.docVIP

英语完形填空上下文语境　　　　 能影响完形词语选择的不仅仅有整篇文章的主旨和中心，还包括所缺词语上下文的词语，即我们所谓的上下文语境。他们之间形成相互提示或者互相反衬的作用。I．请填出下列段落所缺词语，词性在括号中已给出。　　1．He showed no _____________ (n.) in learning. His marks were always poor, he never completed a reading assignment or participated in class discussions, and he rarely did his homework. At an early age he was branded a “nonlearner.”解析：　　题目中横线上应填出“interest”，即兴趣。在原文中出现类似“never completed or participated”，“rarely did”等字眼，说明文中的“he”问题不出现在能力(ability)或者耐心（patience）上，而是在于学习的兴趣。如果缺乏的是能力，那么上下文应该出现类似“difficult，hard”等词语。　　2. When they saw each other for the first time in the dim candlelight later that night, they stood _______ (adv.). For words could not express how profoundly touched each of them was by the sacrifice made by the other in the name of love.解析：　　横线应填充词语“silently”，即“沉默相对”。理由是后文中出现了“words 　　could not express…”，说明语言表达不出彼此的感动，因此此处“silently”在语境中是最合适的。　　3. My dad also understood the value of a good sense of humor. “Back in the old days,” he often told me, “we were so poor we had to beg for _______ (n.).” So sometimes, when I was fast asleep, dreaming of the home runs I would hit, he would gently lean over my bed and shout into my ear, “Russian bombers! Russian bombers! Run! Run!” And then he would laugh and laugh.解析：　　答案应是jokes。很多同学看到“poor”，联想到过去生活的困苦，很自然地会在横线中填出“money”，或“food”等词语，但其实原文并非要表达此含义。在文段主题句中作者提到“a good sense of humor.”，即父亲所拥有的是幽默感。在下文出现了“laugh and laugh”即上文发生的事应与其相关。综合上下文信息，jokes是横线所缺词语。　　4. In her town there was a special program that taught adults to read, but Bertha Ingram was quite nervous. Would people laugh at her? Would they _______ to teach her? It didn’t happen that way. She had a teacher who worked very hard with her. After the first day Ingram could hardly wait to get to the library.　　A. like 　　　B. refuse 　　　C. agree　　　 D. stop解析：　　此处答案是B。很多同学会错选成A或者C。认为文中人物在担心“他们会愿意或者喜欢教她知识么?”。此处我们又要借助于完形语境的帮助：文段中出现了类似 “nervous”，“laugh at”的词语，都是表示否定含义的，也代表了人物的担忧和担心，因此横线上最佳的选择也是表示否定意义的“refuse”，它能够表达出人物紧张的心情和她所担心发生的情况。　　5.
