说明文类完形填空题中,作者一般是首先提出一个要说明的对象,如某种理论、某种方法、某种技巧、某种活动,然后按照时间、空间和事情发展的顺序,运用举例、排比、演绎、归纳等方式进行介绍或者说明。(1)内容的客观性;(2)文章的条理性;(3)语言的朴实性。
说明文层次分明,脉落清晰,有条有理。大多数完形填空的说明文是按因果关系进行说明,有的按先主后次的顺序进行说明,有的先概述后举例,有的先举例后概述,也有的按事情的逻辑关系来展开。考生做题的关键在于理清文章结构,把握全文大意。
有一些语言现象在英语说明文中经常出现。
1、多用现在时态。因为说明文通常是对客观事物或事理的一种介绍与解释,而这种客观介绍与解释一般是不随时间和空间的变化而改变的。
2、采用客观描述。说明文一般是对客观存在的说明与介绍,因此,语言的表述也应该尽可能地给人以客观可信的感觉。在英语中,使用被动语态(如用It is said that…替代I think that…),引进权威的信息来源(如用according to sb 替代in my opinion),选用委婉语是使说明文避免主观色彩,增加客观性,从而为读者接受的重要语言手段。
3、遣词用字简炼、平实、确切。
解答说明文体裁的完形填空题是要着重把握这样两个方面:
记叙文可以用narration,或者narrative作为形容词。议论文是argumentation,argumentative是形容词。说明文应该是description,或者descriptive作为形容词。文言文的英文: the classical Chinese。文言文是指用古代的书面语言写的文章,通。
1、弄清叙述的顺序。在说明的过程中,条理化是非常重要的,因为客观事物本身是有条理性,按照客观事物本身的条理进行解说,说明的效果就比较好。有些事物本身可能并无明显的条理性,这时,作者会选择一个合适的角度,有条不紊地对其加以说明。常见的说明顺序有时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序(指先因后果或先果后因,先主后次的顺序)和认识顺序(指由此及彼,由浅入深,由局部到整体,由现象到本质,由具体到抽象的顺序)。把握了说明的顺序,就能准确把握文章的脉络。
2、了解说明文的种类。说明文依照内容展开方式可以分以下几类:
(1)过程说明文。这是用得最广的一种说明文,它又分为人为过程的说明文(给予指令或建议)和自然过程的说明文(提供信息和分析)两种,文章形式既有实用性较强的产品介绍,生活知识;也有专业性很强的学术论文;还有幽默风趣的科学小品等。过程说明文中的时态通常用一般现在时。
(2)实例说明文。它是用实例、事实来阐述特征过程、现象、观点的一种说明文。那些空洞的概念和高深的理论经过事实和例子的佐证立即就会变得具体明白、简单起来。
(3)比较(对比)说明文。它是运用比较和对比的手段来分析和说明事物的一种说明文。通过比较相似事物和对比相异事物,可以使事理更加明了。
(4)分类说明文。对于复杂事物,往往可以根据它的性质、形状、成因、功能等属性的差别,分成若干类,然后依照类别分别进行说明。通过分类说明可以加深读者对事物本质的了解。
英语作文说明文范文100字,(5)因果说明文。通过分析事物的因果关系阐明事物的性质或经过的文章称为因果说明文。在对有关因果关系透彻分析的基础上得出的结论总是令人信服的。
(6)定义说明文。就是用简洁而明确的语言把事物的本质属性揭示出来,给人们以清晰的概念。界说(定义)说明文中总是有一个定义句,其句式为被定义对象的所属类别+限制性定语。定义句中限制性定语越详细,定义就越精确,如A bat(蝙蝠)is a small mouse-like animal that flies at night and feeds on fruit and insects but is not a bird .因此,界说(定义)说明文既能使读者对被说明文的事物有一个明确的本质的了解,又能使读者将该事物与其他事物区别开来。
英文说明文的写作方式除了以上六种外,还有其他一些但对于中学生来说,这六种方式是首先值得了解的。另外,值得一提的是,在一篇说明文中,常常是以一种写作手法为主,同时辅以其他写作手法。有时,甚至会几种手法混用,并不分什么主次。
弄清了说明文的种类和不同,说明文的写作特点,有助于我们采取不同的阅读策略。
进而达到迅速、准确理解文章的目的。
说明文解题三技巧
(1)重视首句,开篇明义。
说明文所呈现的方式往往比较单一,作者往往一开始就交代说明的对象,然后再从不同的角度进行说明,而且每一段往往是其中的一个角度或侧面。由此,要注意概括每一段的主旨大意。在每段的开头或结尾,作者往往会对说明的话题进行概括说明。例如: Cultural differences occur wherever you go. When visiting another country,you should be aware of those differences and__ 28 __them. Here are some tips on how to fit in.
28.A. reject B recite C. respect D. remove
【点拨】从第一段第一句话得知无论去哪里都会遇到文化的差异,由此可判断出本段与文化的差异有关。根据常识我们应该尊重这种文化差异。由此可知选_________.
(2)上下求索,寻找词语暗示。找到上下文的相关信息,特别是有暗示性的词语,就很容易找到正确选项。例如: One way to improve your mood is__ 2 ___. –Also,in the process,you may aim for clear goals,like a new personal running record or a better body shape. The achievement of a particular goal makes you feel good and contributes to your_ 4__. That is why exercise has been shown to build up your self-respect.
2. A. play B. communication C. sleep D. exercise
4.A.ability B. relationship C. confidence D. business
【点拨】本段中第一句是主题句,通过下文 like new personal running record or better body shape以及最后一句中提示词恶性exercise可知2题选___________. 同时通过 makes you feel good ……and build up your self-respect可知4题选__________.
(3)依据上下文,理清逻辑关系
短文是由有一定的逻辑关系的句子组成的,相互之间存在着一定的联系。只要把握好了空格上下文的行为逻辑,再活用所学语言知识,就能选出正确答案。例如: Wearing proper clothes is important too,_ 32 __ locals will judge you by what you wear.
32.A. but B for C. so D or
【点拨】空前指出穿合适的衣服也是一件重要的事情,空后表明当地人会根据你的穿着去判断你。根据逻辑关系可知32题选_________.
