中考英语首字母填空题技巧讲解

首字母填空讲解 首字母填空类短文题是近几年中考试题经常采用的题型之一,因为它有非常好的信度和效度,又能拉开考生间的分差、提高区分度。这种题型属于能力测试的范畴,它考查的范围极广,可以是英语知识的方方面面,还可能涉及其它学科。它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来,并且单词形式合理,符合语法规范,符合短文需要。这种试题的首字母已给,所填的就必须是该字母开头的单词。这既是一种限制,又是一种提示。 可是这种题型因难度相对较大,考生失分现象比较严重。学生要仔细阅读全文,利用上下文提供的有关信息,再仔细阅读相关句子,判断所缺单词的句子成分,才能完成练习。完型填空式中考试卷中最难的题型,最能测量考生实际运用语言的能力。要做好此类题目,考生不但要有较强的语感,善于体会上下文的内在联系,而且要有扎实的语言知识储备和较大的词汇量。 考查重点是名词、动词、形容词、副词和代词这几大词类。 做好首字母填空要注意以下几点 1. 单词量。 很多学生做不好首字母填空很重要的一点原因是学过的单词没掌握。每当看到一个首字母,脑子中应该迅速闪过好几个词,然后根据句意选择最合适的一个。或者反过来,用意义对单词,先看句子是什么意思,然后根据意思填出合适的单词。 2.平时注意积累词组、习惯用法和固定搭配。 3. 一定注意上下句的联系。 很多情况下。你要填的单词在上文或者下文出现过了,所以说试卷中不是没有答案,而是你要有一双发现答案的眼睛。还有一个情况是在一句话中,可能会出现反义词,也就是说你要填的单词是上文或下文中一个词的反义词。 4. 利用词性帮助判断。 根据上下文及该句判断词性,再结合首字母确定该词的意思。(要有一定的句法知识) 5. 注意检查。 这里有个方法可以一试,默读,利用语感和自己的语法知识填空。如果读着不顺,就有可能有错误。
