●完形填空解題指導(dǎo)要領(lǐng): 
●2010年完形填空命題趨勢: 完形填空與單項選擇最基本的區(qū)別在于：完形填空的解題以上下文的內(nèi)容為前提。 通過分析2010年樣題, 結(jié)合近3年的試題特點，高考對完形填空試題的命題有如下特點: 1 考查的內(nèi)容、考點的設(shè)計以實詞(v、n、adj和adv、短語等) 的詞匯意義與搭配為主，語法項目基本不考。(因此，能否做好完形填空試題的關(guān)鍵是：讀懂短文、讀懂句子)。 2 通過語境、上下文內(nèi)容等考查詞匯在具體語境中的意義為主；一詞多義的考點增多。 3 短文的句式結(jié)構(gòu)相對復(fù)雜了(如：語序復(fù)雜；插入語、同位語、多重定語、復(fù)合句增多)； 4 短文的題材內(nèi)容多樣化, 夾敘夾議、說明文、議論文等短文比較熱門。 |

By finding a new 23 on the day's major stories. By printing completely different stories which TV doesn't broadcast. What else? Well it also has to be 24 . People don't want to read about ordinary, everyday life. Because of this, many stories 25 some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be 26 news. “Plane lands safely no one hurt” doesn't sell newspapers. “Plane 27 --200 dead!” does. Next, there's human interest. People are interested in other 28 particularly in the rich, famous and powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers，actors，models，politicians, 29 , all appear regularly in certain newspapers. Finally, for many editors, 30 is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, place and events which their readers know. That's why the stories in Tokyo's newspapers are of ten very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires. | 21.A.newspapers 22.A.extra 23.A.direction 24.A.tragic 25.A.quote 26.A.good 27.A.crashes 28.A.places 29.A.in addition 30.A.personality | B. publications B. available B. look B. dramatic B. neglect B. bad B. bumps B. people B. in any case B. similarity | C. reporters C. inaccessible C. angle C. professional C. increase C. exciting C. strikes C. things C. for example C. uniqueness | D. broadcasters D. memorable D. section D. sensitive D. involve D. informative D. drops D. news D.
