专题16 短文填空（首字母自由填空选词杂糅）（讲练）

专题16短文填空（首字母，选词填空，自由填词，杂糅）考情分析短文填空是中考英语试卷最难题目之一，它的分值是10-15分，分为10个小题。短文填空一般在一篇200~250字左右的故事性短文中挖出10个空，要求学生通读短文，并根据上下文来补全短文，每空只能填一个单词。主要考九大词类（名词、动词、形容词、副词、代词、数词、介词、连词、冠词）。该题旨在测试考生的英语阅读理解能力和简单的书面表达能力，看其是否能够运用所学过的英语知识进行简单的书面交流，从而达到既考查学生的语言基础知识，又考查他们的观察能力、联想能力以及对语言的综合运用能力。为了答好短文填空题目，我们要打好基础关。这个基础关既包括1600个单词，300多个短语以及一部分常用句型和习惯用语的意思和用法，也包括各种词的词形变化。知识导图考向1短文填空之选词填空真题演练（2023·广东）请从方框内选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余项。请将答案写在答题卡对应题目的答题位置上。iteitherbebecausewhatelsebyinventcleanpopularhabithundredThereisasmallthingweuseeveryday.Weusuallyput____1____inthebathroom.Withoutit,wemighthavetoothproblems.Canyouguess____2____itis?Yes,it’sthetoothbrush.Butdoyouknowanythingaboutitshistory?Accordingtosomeresearch,beforetoothbrushesappeared,theancientChinesepeople____3____theirteethwithsomesmalltreebranches(树枝).About800yearsago,peoplemadeakindofbrusheswithpighairandbamboo.Itmight____4____theworld’searliestformoftoothbrushes.Astimewent____5____,theformsoftoothbrusheschanged.Forexample,peoplechosehorse-tailhairinsteadofpighair____6____pighairwastoohard.Imaginethatyoutravelbackto____7____ofyearsagoandbrushyourteethcomfortably.Itsoundsfantastic,doesn’tit?Aroundthe15thcentury,theChinesetoothbrushfounditswayintoEurope.Itbecame____8____amonglocalpeoplesoon.The____9____oftoothbrusheswasnotasfamousasthatofpaper-making,butitwasveryusefulindailylife.Todaywehaveagood____10____ofbrushingteeth.WeshouldthanktheancientChineseforit.核心考向探究选词填空是指把一篇文章的关键词语挖空，词序打乱，让学生根据短文内容选择正确的词语填空。此类题型主要是要求学生在正确理解和把握文章的基础上，通过分析行文线索来填写空缺单词，补全短文。STEP1详读选项，词分类文章选项中的10个词是考查的关键，考生应该详细的理解这10个单词。熟悉的单词标明词性和词义，不熟悉的单词或者不认识的单词只需标明词性，然后根据名词、动词、形容词、副词四大类按规律排列在试卷上。这样就缩小了选择的范围，降低了试题的难度。STEP2略读全文，定中心考生拿到题目以后，由于考查考生对篇章的理解，应该略读整篇文章，确定文章的中心或主要说明的问题。要抓住文章首句，迅速找到文章的主题词或主题。和完型填空一样，一般文章第一句不设空格，以便让考生知道本文的相关主题词或主题。在此，建议大家使用略读的方法，以快速掌握文章大意。STEP3瞻前顾后，灵活选词性分类之后，回到原文中，根据原文中空格的前后单词或者前后语句确定所要填的词性，然后从分类好的单词中选择出词性、意思、语法都符合要求的最佳选项。首先，根据语法知识确认可以被填入此空的词性，然后按第一步中标注出的词性进行筛选，最后将备选词逐个代入空中细读句意，考虑上下问逻辑关系做出选择。STEP4复核检查，定结果篇章词汇理解题目类似于完型填空，这需要考生不仅要迅速的确定答案，还要在确定答案之后迅速的复查。检查上下文是否通顺、上下文的逻辑结构是否正确、文章的意思是否出现偏差等等，复查无误后即可确定为最后答案。命题预测Passage1（2024·广东佛山·一模）请用适当的词完成下面的短文，并把所缺单词填写在答题卡指定的位置上。每个空只能填写一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。live

1.跳过空格，不看选项，快速地阅读全文，从整体上感知全文，掌握大意，了解全篇的内容和要旨。快速阅读时宁粗勿细，切忌只盯住一个句子仓促解题，这样势必因胸无全局而误入歧途。快速阅读时，还要注意找出关键词，这些词在文中起支撑骨架的功能，抓住了关键词就抓住了故事的线索。特别是要重视首句，善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点，理清文脉，推测全文时态、主题及大意。2.复读短文，确定语义，判断词形。把握短文大意后再认真复读短文，利用上下文的语境，结合所学过的知识，先确定空格处所需词语的意义，再根据空格在句子中的位置，判断其在句中充当的成分，从而确定所填词的词性，再依据词语搭配和语法规则，判断所填词的正确形式。如短文难度较大，尤其是难于选词时，从本句的前后观察中一时尚不得要领，就要进一步扩大到上下文中分析。3.三读短文，上下参照，验证答案。在短文的空白处分别填上一个词后，将完成的短文再细读一遍，上下参照，连贯思考。可从上下文内容是否协调一致、顺理成章，语法结构是否正确无误等进行综合验证，凡有疑问必须重新推敲考虑。命题预测Passage1（2023-24·江苏扬州统考）根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的单词使短文完整。（每空一词）ChinesewriterHaiYa’sTheSpace-TimePainterwontheHugoAwardforBestNoveletteonOct21.Hebecamethet____1____ChinesewritertowinaHugoawardafterLiuCixinin2015andHaoJingfangin2016.WhencreatingTheSpaceTimePainter,HaiYagothisi____2____fromafamouspainting,APanoramaofRiversandMountains.ItisbyWangXimengfromtheSongDynasty(960-1279).BasedonWang,HaicreatedacharacternamedZhaoXimengw____3____paintedforanemperormorethan1,000yearsago.Aftermanyhardtimes,Zhao’smindleaveshisbodyandentersaspacewhereamodernpolicemanistryingtos____4____acaseaboutanancientpaintingHaiYa’sstorywithsciencefictionbeganinhischildhood.“WhenIwasachild,thebookstoreinmyhometownhelpedcreateabeautifulg____5____inmymind.Init,sciencefictionofferedthemostbeautiful‘flowers’,”HaiYatoldBeijingYouthDaily.Headdedthatsciencefictionopenedanewworldforh____6____.HaiYa’sworksfeatureamixofhistoryandsciencefiction.Thesetwostylesseemo____7____:Onelooksbackatthepast,andtheotherfacesthefuture.However,inHaiYa’sworks,theyfindaperfectbalance.“Ifwecanonlyi____8____thefutureandthingsinspacelikerockets,itwillonlylimitourimagination,”HaiYatoldShenzhenSpecialZoneDaily“Idon’tthinkh____9____issomethingcompletelyinthepast.Itisflowing(流动的),andwecanmakepredictions(预测)aboutthefuturebylookingbackathistory,”headded.MoreChinesewriterstodayaretryingtomixt____10____culturewithmodernstories.HaiYabelievesthatitisnotachoicebutanaturalprocess.“Ourhistoryandculturehavelastingvaluesthatcantoucheveryone,”hesaidtoXinhua.Passage2（2023·武汉）阅读下面短文，根据上下文、所给首字母或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词。每个空只能填一个单词。TraditionalChineseMedicine(TCM)isusedtohelppeoplekeepthebalanceofyinandyang.Buthaveyoueverimaginedthatonedayyoucanlearnherb(药草)plantingandTCMcoursesatschool?AprimaryschoolinNanjinghasjust___51___(open)aherbfarm.Morethan30herbsareplanted.Studentsthereareg___52___bydoctorsfromaTCMhospitaltotelldifferentherbsandlearnplantdevelopment,medicinalvalueaswellas___53___(grow)herbs.Thehospitalhasalsodonatedover100cartoonbooksaboutTCMtohelpdrawchildren’sa___54___inherbalmedicine.Anothermiddleschoolhasi___55___TCMcoursestostudentsofallgrades.Thesecoursesc___56___abasicknowledgeofherbs,herbplantingandcookingwithherbs.TheygivestudentsadeeperunderstandingofTCM,bringingouttheirsenseofp___57___inChinesetraditionsandthecountry’srichculture.AlsoinShanghai,TongjiUniversityhasprovidedforeignstudents___58___somechancestoplantdifferentkindsofherbs___59___(wide)usedinChinesemedicineandcooking.Bytakingcareoftheplants,foreignstudentscangetfirst-handexperienceofmakingherbalmedicinefromstarttofinish,andspreadTCMculturetotheiro____60____countries.TheherbplantingcoursesatschoolsanduniversitiesacrossChinagetstudentsclosetoTCMandhelppassonthetradition.Passage3（2023·广州）阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注
