【讲通练透】考点38 短文填空之自由填空

把语法知识测试全部放在语篇中进行，旨在考查考生在语篇中综合运用语言知识的能力。它不但要求考生有扎实的词汇、语法等基础知识和对句型结构的灵活运用能力，而且还要求考生有良好的语感和一定的阅读理解能力。

自由填空是中考短文填空中难度最大的，这种题目因题型的开放性和综合性而备受关注。试题特点是一篇短文挖空8—10个单词，且没有任何提示，让考生根据短文内容自由填词，难度较大，主观性较强，有时可能出现多种答案。

二、满分技巧 

1. 解题步骤：

（1）快速浏览，了解大意。对于简单把握的空，可以先填出来；

（2）上下求索，填出答案。根据上下文及空格前后的逻辑关系，填出正确的词以及正确的形式；

（3）通读全文，检查确认。特别要注意，根据文章意思，有些空是否要加入否定前缀。

无提示词的空格一般需要填入冠词、代词、介词、连词（并列连词和从属连词）等虚词。

（1）名词前面一般用冠词、代词或介词等。

（2）如果需要填入代词，就要考虑到是人称代词的主格、宾格或物主代词的变化、指示代词的用法；

（3）并列的两个或多个单词，短语，或句子之间设空，一般填入并列连词and, but, or等；

（4）两句之间，如果不是并列句，则很可能是主从句，因此需要填入从属连词（what,which, who, how, when等）。或者是宾语从句，定语从句或者是状语从句的连接词。这种空格需要同学们根据句子结构，分析到底是什么从句，从而选择合适的从属连词。
