一、 精读完形真题,长难句分析。

话题:错收短信怎么办

When most of us get a text message on our cell phone from an unknown person, we usually say “sorry, wrong number!” and move on. But when Dennis Williams  received a text that clearly wasn’t intended for him, he did something special .

On March 19,Dennis got a group text informing him that a couple he didn’t know were at the hospital, waiting for the arrival of a baby.

“Congratulations! But I think someone was mistaken,” Dennis  responded .The baby was born and update texts were  coming in quickly from the overjoyed grandmother, Teresa. In her  excitement , she didn’t seem to realize that she was  sharing the baby ‘s photos with a complete stranger. “Well, I don’t  know you all but I will get there to take pictures with the baby,” replied Dennis before asking which room the new  parents were in.

Much to the family’s surprise, Dennis stuck to his  promise ! He turned up at the hospital  bearing gifts for the new mother Lindsey and her baby boy. Lindsey’s husband was totally  astonished by the unexpected visit. “I don’t think we would have randomly invited him over but we  appreciate it and the gifts.”

Teresa posted a photo of the chance meeting on a social networking website  accompanied by the touching words: “What a  blessing this young man was to our family! He was so  sweet and kind to do this.” The post has since gained the  attention of social media users all over the world, receiving more than 184,000 shares and 61,500 likes in just three days.

难句分析:On March 19,Dennis got a group text informing him that a couple he didn’t know were at the hospital, waiting for the arrival of a baby.

这是一个复合句。主句是Dennis got a group text ,that 引导宾语从句,he didn’t know为定语从句,修饰先行词a couple, informing him that...为分词短语,作text的定语,waiting for...为分词短语,作伴随状语。

翻译:3月19日,丹尼斯收到一个群发的短信,说一对夫妇在医院等待婴儿的出生,丹尼斯并不认识他们。

二、 高考英语熟词生义词汇:

《高考考纲》中的词汇表是命题人的主要依据,而这个词汇表只提供了英语单词或短语的拼写形式和词性,而没有词义。这就给命题人提供了广阔的活动空间,给他们减少了很多限制,但却给考生增加了几倍的难度。阅读理解、完形填空等题中熟词生义现象更是比比皆是。今天,我们继续复习一下2017高考真题中出现的一些熟词生义的词汇。

三、 完形填空应试技巧:

完形填空是在考察英语语言的补全能力,使故事完整,逻辑清晰。

首先,我们再强调一下做题顺序:

1. 在不看选项的基础上通读全文,了解文章大意和故事的基本脉络。如果看一空选一个空,很有可能会引导自己偏离对文章的理解,一错错一溜,把题做的一塌糊涂。

2.阅读文章的时候,要在脑子里还原场景,不要只拘泥于固定搭配和语法。

3. 先选定有把握的词,再处理没有把握的选项,利用文章中的很多线索词做出正确选择。完形的空一般出现在上下文中,如果出现两个以上都觉得正确的选项,多往下读两行确认一下到底选什么。有时甚至需要往下多读好几段。这一点非常重要。其次,我们强调一下完形填空微技巧:

1) 要特别注意文章的第一句话,因为它往往起到对内容的提示作用。

2) 联系上下文与使用固定搭配是确定选项的两个主要条件,需要做题者勤做标记,

3) 如果完形暂时看不懂时。我们要学会抓性关键字词句,尽量根据逻辑推理,运用排除法将答案选出,干万不要自我恐吓,认为看不懂就乱选。事实上,即使有大半篇都看不懂,多花点耐心与逻辑推理,我们仍有能力将一些题目正确解出。

4) 要注意跨句或跨段的逻辑关系及暗示.如果是记叙文,可以尝试角色带入:如果我是主人公,我会怎么做怎么想?如果是议论文,则要注意推动情节发展的词句,明白各段的制重点。

5) 完形填空把握作者的态度语气很重要。建议大家做近三年的高考真题的完形填空,并将选项填入原文,大声朗读几遍,在朗读中去体会高考真题常考一些什么类型和态度的文章。Nancy老师会在考前10天将近三年全国卷的完形真题以及朗读录音放在文章里,帮助大家节省时间。
