1、 九年级英语系列复习资料（18） 短文填空考点集汇，讲解和训练 十八、短文填空及其解题方法【考点扫描】短文填空是近两年才创设的一种新题型。这种题型通常有四种形式：1、给出一篇难易适中的短文，中间去掉几个单词，让考生根据上下文填上所缺的单词。2、给出一篇难易适中的短文，中间去掉几个单词，但给出这些单词的第一个字母，让考生根据短文的上下文的意思和所给的提示字母，填上所缺的单词。3、给出一篇难易适中的短文，中间去掉几个单词，同时在一个方框内给出一些单词，让考生根据短文的内容，把这些单词填入空白处，使文章正确、通顺。4、给出一篇难易适中的短文，中间去掉几个单词或短语，同时给出这些单词或短语的汉语意思，
2、让考生根据短文的上下文和所给汉语的提示，填上适当的单词或短语。陕西省的短文填空题采用的基本上是第四种形式。这种题型考查的是考生的整体阅读能力、基础语法的运用能力和书面表述能力，特别是单词和短语的拼写能力。它是介于阅读理解和书面表达之间的一种题型。陕西省中考英语题中的短文填空题又有什麽具体特点呢？1、从文体上看，议论文和叙事文为主。2002年陕西省的短文填空题所给的短文是一篇论说文，论说的主题是：只有母亲的爱是真正的爱。2003年的中考说明样题所给的短文是一篇叙事文。讲述的是圣诞节的情况。2003年的中考题中的短文填空题也是一篇叙事文。讲述的是主题是因特网的历史。2004年是一篇论说文。2、从填
3、空的内容上看，以词组和短语为主。2002年短文填空题共有10个空，其中6个空填的是词组和短语。2003年中考说明中短文填空题共有10个空，其中7个空填的是词组和短语。2003年中考题中的短文填空题共有10个空，其中5个空填的是词组和短语。2004年的短文填空题10个空中有6个是词组和短语。也就是说短文填空题要填的词组和短语总体上保持在5-7个。3、从考查的范围上看，以英语的一些特殊用法为主。2002年的短文填空题考到了enough作副词，放在被修饰词之后的用法，考到了“with+名词”构成的介词短语的用法。2003年中考说明中的短文填空题又一次出现了“with+名词”构成的介词短语用法。200
4、3年中考题的短文填空题考查了something wrong这样的形容词后置的特殊用法。2004年的短文填空题考查了twice a day 这样的特殊表示方式。4、从所留的空白上看，以给出汉语提示为主。2003年中考说明的短文填空题共留出10个空白，其中8处给出了汉语提示，2处没有任何提示。2003年中考的短文填空题同样是10个空白，全部给出了汉语提示。2004年10个空白全部给了汉语提示。【名师解难】 做好短文填空题要求考生具备坚实的语法基础，理解文章大意和主旨的能力，牢固掌握英语的习惯用法和固定搭配，熟记英语单词的拼写。做短文填空可以从以下几个方面着手：1、从语法方面考虑短文填空题所涉及的语
5、法内容通常包括：名词的单复数、形容词和副词的比较等级、主谓一致、动词的时态和语态、介词和连词的选用等。例如2003年中考的短文填空题的第一个空：“Most of us 1 (忙于)talking about and using the Internet every day.” 在这里，用英语表示“忙于”不仅要用busy, busy之前还要加be, 而be还要和主语most of us保持一致，变成are。再如2004年中考题中的第7个空，but soon youll 7 _(习惯于) doing it. “习惯于”必须用be / get used to, 因为这个短语用在一般将来时中，在助动词
6、之后。2、从习惯用法和固定搭配方面考虑如上所说，陕西省的短文填空以词组和短语为主，而词组和短语必然会涉及到很多习惯用法和固定搭配。例如2003年中考说明短文填空的第8个空：“ 8 （在圣诞夜）children are very happy.” 用英语表示“在圣诞夜”必须用On Christmas Eve。因为在“某一天的晚上”习惯上用介词on。2004年考题中的第5个空就是一个固定搭配-at least。3、从上下文的结构方面考虑有的空白必须根据上下文的结构才能判断应该填什麽样的单词或短语。例如2003年考试说明短文填空的第9个空：They put their stocking at the
7、end of their beds 9 their parents can put presents in them.从上下文文我们可以看出，他们把他们的长筒袜放在床头上是为了让他们的父母亲能够把礼物放在里面。以此判断，后面的句子应是一个目的状语从句。因此，应填so that。再看2004年的10个空Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and drink water 10_ (代替) drinks. 这个句子中已经有了谓语动词eat 和drink, 代替就不能再用动词，而需用一个介词instead of。【中考范例】（2004年陕西省中考试题）V. 短文填空（
8、共10空，每空1分，计10分） 根据上下文和括号里的汉语提示，在下面的空白处写出正确的单词和短语，使短文意思完整。 When you laugh, you will 1 _(张开) your mouth and your teeth. The healthier those teeth are, the happier you look. Why is that?

12、 and vegetables and drink water 10_ (代替) drinks.1. open 张开嘴的“张开”应用open。2. because 要回答前面why提出的问题，应用because。3. twice a day 这是英语常见的一种表示方法。4. after lunch after之后常常跟一个时间点，lunch可看作一个时间点。5. at last 这是一个固定的短语6. every three months every之后如果有大于一的数词来修饰名词，这个名词用复数形式。又如：every three days, every four years。7. be/ g
13、et used to 这也是一个习惯用语，后接名词或定名词。8. keep “keep somebody/ something +形容词”是一个常见句型。9. lots of / a lot of / many 这几个限定词都可用来修饰可数名词的复数。10. instead of 这是一个短语介词，后接名词活动名词。【满分演练】 (1)Everyone needs friends.
