英語六級完形填空題型分析及例題講解
題型分析 完形填空也可稱為綜合填空、完形測試或完形程序,其測試理論來源于格式塔心理學,其測試理論來源于格式塔心理學,也稱為完形心理學:格式塔心理學在心理學歷史上最大的特點是強調研究心理對象的整體性,它強調整體性思想的核心是有機體或統一的整體構成的全體要大于各部分單純相加之和。將這種理論應用到英語測試中來,于是有了完形填空這一題型。這類題型首創于1953年,是能比較有效地測試學生實際英語運用能力的一種練習和測試題型。正如Taylor所定義的,完形填空是完形心理學在實際生活中的具體應用,即完成一個熟悉而又不完整的形式――通常用空格表示出來。英語測試中的完形填空是從文章中系統地刪掉一些單詞或詞組并由學生經過選擇后再重新填入空白處的一種練習過程。這種測試方法充分利用了人們遇到一個整體中不完整的局部時,都自然而然地想用各種方法加以補充,使得原來不完整的部分和整體較為一致。
近幾年來,國內外英語專家對完形填空的研究表明,完形填空測試題型涉及詞匯量大,靈活度高,綜合性強,要求學生具有一定綜合運用語言的能力才能較好地完成這種題型。所謂綜合運用語言的能力包括:詞匯量及分析詞義和搭配詞語的能力、駕馭語法結構的能力、語篇理解能力、根據上下文進行分析判斷和邏輯推理的能力、甚至社會背景和普通常識的運用能力等。因此,完形填空被公認為是一種測試學生綜合運用英語能力的有效題型。
歸納起來,完形填空考查知識點的主要內容分為兩大部分:
1.詞匯辨析和語法結構
完形填空題中的空缺部分既可能是實詞,也可能是虛詞。這也是該題型與詞匯題極為相似而又互相區別的地方。如果是實詞,絕大多數情況考查的是考生對于詞匯的記憶和辨析能力,以及對固定搭配的掌握;如果是虛詞,則更可能考查考生的語法結構運用能力。
2.語篇理解能力
即使每一個選項的意思都了然于胸也有可能選擇了錯誤答案,因為完形填空還要求考生根據上下文所給出的信息和提示進行分析判斷、排除其他選項而最終選擇正確答案。如果考生對于整個語篇理解有障礙,就難以選出正確答案。而語篇理解能力正是完形填空和一般詞匯、語法題型的本質區別。請看2007年6月的大學英語四級考試試題:
An earthquake hit Kashmir on Oct. 8,2005. It took some 75, 000 lives, 67 130,000 and left nearly 3.5 million without food, jobs or homes. 68 overnight, scores of tent villages bloomed 69 the region, tended by international aid organizations, military 70 and aid groups working day and night to shelter the survivors before winter 71.
Mercifully, the season was mild. But with the 72 of spring, the refugees will be moved again. Camps that 73 health care, food and shelter for 150,000 survivors have begun to close as they were 74 intended to be permanent.
For most of the refugees, the thought of going back brings 75emotions. The past six months have been difficult. Families of 76 many as 10 people have had to shelter 77 a single tent and share cookstoves and bathing 78 with neighbors. They are looking forward to the clean water of their rivers, officials say. They are 79 of free fresh fruit. They want to get back to their herds and start 80 again. But most of them will be returning to 81 but heaps of ruins. In many villages, electric 82have not been repaired, nor have roads. Aid workers 83 that it will take years to rebuild what the earthquake took 84. And for the thousands of survivors, the 85, will never be complete. Yet the survivors have to start somewhere. New homes can be built 86 the stones, bricks and beams of old ones. Spring is coming and it is a good time to start again.
