中考英语总复习题型专项4短文填空课件

专题四短文填空短文填空是综合能力测试题，它不仅考查学生能否把所学的各项基础知识用于实践，而且也考查学生的观察能力、阅读理解能力及逻辑思维能力。所考话题与学习和生活息息相关。备考重点关注的话题有：学习与生活、旅游观光、文化娱乐、购物、餐饮、健康等生活方面为考生所熟悉的话题。1．所选材料不长，总词数在180～220之间。2．名词、动词、形容词、副词和代词为每年考查的重点，但知识点的分布更趋向于均衡。虚词则基本上每年都有两个左右。2020年的试题出现了一个介词，一个连词；2021年的试题则出现了一个介词，两个连词；2022年的试题出现一个介词，一个连词；2023年的试题出现了一个介词，一个连词。1．迅速浏览全文，明确本题的主旨大意只有在了解主题的前提下才能对空格有的放矢地选填恰当的词。本大题考查的是学生的综合能力，因此在解题遇到困难的时候，不要仅仅盯着这一空，还要继续往下读。这样可以更好地理解全文，因为后面的信息往往有助于对前面细节的理解，从而有利于对主题思想的领悟。2．盯着“目标”，注意细节在“读”故事时，还要注意故事发生的时间、地点及天气。比较常见的是表示时间的名词如星期、月份、季节等，描写天气的有关形容词，描写人的喜怒哀乐(happy,sad,laugh,cry)和描写人的外表(tall,short,fat,thin,young,old)及人的动作等词语。当确定所要填入的词时，要确定其用法和写法，同时要考虑到时态、语态、词性及习惯用法等，填入句中的词必须完整正确。3．先易后难，多方位考虑个别空格填不出时，也可以先放下继续做下面的题。做完较容易的题目之后，再集中精力思考那些难题。有的难题可能只知其意而不会写，这时要从多方位考虑。英语中一意多词的表达现象比较多，只要考生能根据词义填入正确的词即可。因此在明确空格词义后，可以把表达此意的有关的词在脑海中罗列出来，找出最好的和最有把握的词填进去，这样难度就大大地降低了。4．复读全文，复查核定复查所填的句子意思是否正确，结构是否完整，上下文是否连贯，语法是否正确，以及拼写是否准确。对有不清楚的地方一定要仔细考虑，尽力做到准确无误。【例1】2023年广东省初中学业水平考试it
