1、第3講　議論文和說明文 議論文和說明文的完形填空都屬于較難的文體，在全國卷中出現(xiàn)的頻率很低，議論文在全國卷中基本沒有考查，說明文也僅僅是在2012年和2014年出現(xiàn)過兩次，不過也應加以足夠重視。 議論文是一種剖析事物、論述事理、發(fā)表見解或提出主張的說理性文章。這類文章或從正面提出某種見解、主張，或是駁斥別人的錯誤觀點。議論文類完形填空具有如下特點： (1)首句制勝，論點明確。議論文一般都在首句提出論點，然后在各段的前句提出分論點。 (2)結構清楚，邏輯通順。作者為了使文章的脈絡清晰，一般會使用一些邏輯關聯(lián)詞(或短語)，如on the contrary, all in all, in

2、 short, generally, surely, obviously等。 (3)方法論證，合情合理。議論文都是按一定的方法來論證的。常用的論證方法有：歸納法、推理法、對照法。 說明文常就某一個問題、某一種社會現(xiàn)象、某一個產品的制作過程和使用方法、某個科學成就或人類生活中所面臨的某個具體的難題等從不同角度來加以說明。說明文一般有兩種結構模式：①總分式：包括“總—分”“分—總”“總—分—總”等具體形式；②遞進式： 一層一層地剖析事理，所以事理說明文多采用這種形式。常用空間順序、時間順序、邏輯順序等去組織文章。 議論文可利用以下幾種技巧： 1．把握首句和首段的完整信息，從而去掌握文章

3、的中心論點：議論文的論點一般出現(xiàn)在首句或首段，因此我們要認真閱讀這部分內容，以便掌握文章的導向，也有利于我們對上下文的理解。 2．把握作者的觀點態(tài)度：議論文往往體現(xiàn)作者對某一事物的觀點，而作者的觀點就是文章的論點。考生要去把握作者的觀點，了解作者對某一事物的態(tài)度是褒還是貶，是贊成還是反對，通過把握作者的觀點也就找準了文章的論點。 3．論點和論據相互結合：一般來說，能說明論據主要內容的答案可以在論點里得到印證，而論點里的某些答案也可以與論據有機地結合起來，使論點、論據形成相輔相成的關系，從而使整篇文章上下一致。如果我們所選的答案前后矛盾，論據與論點相悖，那么我們就要重新梳理文章，這樣才能得到

4、正確的答案。 說明文可利用以下方法： 1．理清文章結構，了解文章主旨：對全文有一個清晰的概念，理清了文章的結構才能掌握文章的主旨。 2．掌握說明順序，弄懂邏輯關系：掌握了文章是按時間、空間、邏輯或認知等的順序去組織后，考生才能理順邏輯關系，才能找準關鍵信息，才能得出正確推論。 3．明白所舉事例，找準突破口：為了說明一件事情或一個道理，說明文中常使用舉例的方法，明白了所舉的事例，也就找到了做題的突破口。 真題導練 (2014·全國卷Ⅰ)As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are perf

23、 D．concerned 答案：C　由前一句所述這個世界充滿對比可知，我們總是無法對自己滿意。content “滿意的”符合語境。 2．A.stronger B．wiser C．lazier D．better 答案：D　由第13空后的描述可知，這里泛指總會有人比你好。故選D項。 3．A.out B．up C．inside D．outside 答案：C　根據本句中的“your own inner yardstick”可知，此處表述唯一的解決辦法就是深入我們的內心，按照我們自己的內在的衡量標準來衡量自己。 故選C。 4．A.accur

24、ate B．careful C．useful D．powerful 答案：A　除了和過去的你相比，沒有更為精確的衡量標準了。accurate “精確的”，符合語境。 5．A.end B．best C．side D．convenience 答案：B　人們要和自己過去比的話，應該是和過去最佳時期進行比較。at one's best “處于最佳狀態(tài)”，符合語境。 6．A.Whether B．If C．Once D．Either 答案：D　由第7空后的“or”及語境可知，此處構成either ... or ... 結構，故選D項。

25、7．A.lazy B．inspired C．busy D．satisfied 答案：A　由“or”連接的下一分句中的“all your hard work”可知，前一分句表示：要么你看到自己比別人強的時候，你會變得懶惰，不思進取。故lazy “懶惰的”符合語境。 8．A.fun B．nothing C．sure D．success 答案：B　此處表示第二種情況：要么你看到別人比你好，你會覺得你所有的努力都沒價值。for nothing意為“徒然地，沒有結果地”。 9．A.equal B．unique C．alike D．com

26、mon 答案：C　和別人去比較是傻子的游戲，所以文章強調不要和別人去比，因為人和人不同。alike “相似的”符合語境。 10．A.to B．by C．for D．within 答案：D　文章第一段最后提到要和昨天的自己、上周的自己或者是10年前的自己去比較，用自己內在的衡量標準去衡量自己，所以在此應該是自己內在的比較，故D項正確。 11．A.allowed B．suggested C．instructed D．directed 答案：A　此處表述你只可以與那些和你生活狀況一樣的人去比較。即允許自己和別人相比較。allow “允許”符合句意。

27、 12．A.position B．situation C．occasion D．accommodation 答案：B　和別人比較要在同等情況下進行比較，也就是生活境況(situation)相同的，否則沒有可比性。 13．A.diligent B．dedicated C．optimistic D．addicted 答案：B　由句中的“how hard you work”及下句中的語境可推知，此處表述不管你工作多么努力且多么投入，總是有人會跑得比你快，跳得比你高。故dedicated “專注的，獻身的”符合句意。 14．A.declare B．c

28、onclude C．announce D．bet 答案：D　即使現(xiàn)在沒人比你強，肯定也有人在背后努力會超過你的。慣用搭配you can bet意為“肯定，毫無疑問”符合語境。 15．A.assistant B．coach C．competitor D．teacher 答案：C　作者強調不要和別人去比，要自己和自己比，要讓今天的自己超越昨天的自己，所以自己才是自己的競爭對手。故選C。 16．A.lead B．push C．expose D．cause 答案：B　由下一句中關于自我超越的例子可知，此處表述對你最近能達到的最大

29、限度有所了解可以推動自己朝下一個高度前進。push “推；推動”，符合語境。 17．A.wonders B．says C．cares D．asks 答案：C　從上文可知，作者要人們自己給自己設定目標，每天進步一點點超越自己，而不去和別人比。who cares if ... 表示不在意某事，故選C。 18．A.difference B．sense C．change D．effort 答案：A　別人做得再好和我們也毫無關系，我們只和自己比較，所以即使你跑7段樓梯，別人跑15段，那也和我們一點關系都沒有。make a difference意為

30、“有關系，有影響”。故選A項。 19．A.benefit B．result C．habit D．progress 答案：D　從上下文可知，此處是指我們沒必要去和別人比，去看別人的成績，只要我們自己每天都在進步，那么我們就是一個成功的人，你的進步就是你需要的東西。故progress “進步，進展”符合語境。 20．A.commit B．devote C．tend D．contribute 答案：A　如果你保證每天都有所提高，那么你將永遠都是勝利者。commit “保證”符合語境。 (2019·江西省高三畢業(yè)班新課程教學質量監(jiān)測)There
