“首字母短文填詞”題型點撥與操練

安徽省濉溪縣百善中學 姜經志

“首字母短文填詞”題型是根據短文句意和已給的首字母，在短文句子的空白處填上適當的單詞，使句子意思完整、語法正確的一種題型。該題型既考查學生的單詞記憶和拼寫能力，又考查學生對短文和句子的理解和運用的能力。做好這類題，主要應從以下幾個方面入手。

1.通讀全句，把握句意。只有文章意思清楚了，才可能根據文意進行合理的判斷，從而有可能突然產生“靈感”，將斷層點的意義信息比較準確的反映出來。

2.注意精讀，反復琢磨。做這類題，有的可根據固定用法來判斷，有的可通過上下文意思判斷。遇到難詞時，就抓住空詞句及其前后的句子反復推敲、再三琢磨該詞在句中的作用，由此判斷出該詞的意義。

3.把握詞義，填寫準確。這里的“準確”

應包括：1）符合要求。即所填單詞必須以規定字母開頭。2）符合意思。既符合整篇文章的基調，更符合所在句子的含義。3）符合語法。意義相符了，單詞選準了，還要注意所填單詞是否要作詞形變化：如名詞是否要用復數形式，形容詞是否要用比較級，動詞是否要變時態等。

4.復讀全文，驗證答案。看所填單詞是不是最佳單詞，拼寫是否準確無誤，詞形是滯要作必要的變化，短文是滯前后連貫一致，情節發展是否合理，議論是否合乎邏輯等。

【實題分析】

George and his wife were looking around for a bigger house.The first place they saw was a bit f__1__from their office.It would take much time to go to work.The second place was larger b__2__didn’t have a garden.Then they visited a t__3__and a fourth places.Both were too expensive.They n__4__lost hope.

Yesterday they f__5__a less expensive house—a four-bedroomed house with a little lawn at the front.It was just what the children n__6__.but some of the roofs and walls were b__7__.George needed much money to r_____8 the house.

So George asked his father to lend him some money.George’s father wasn’t sure if his son would be a__9__to return the money.He thought for a while，then he said，“you grew up w__10__a garden.I don’t think it’s a must for the children to play in a garden.”

【答案與解析】

通讀全文，可以了解到本文講述的是George 一家找一套大房子的選房過程。

1.從后面句子中的take much time to go to work 可知應填far，far from 意為“遠離”

2.該空前后兩部分具有轉折意義，應填一個轉折連詞，but 既符合首字母要求，又表示轉折意義，所以填but。

3.從后面的a fourth 可得出此處應填third。

4.George 夫婦在看了四個地方后，都不滿意，可知他們幾乎失去了希望，所以應填nearly。

5.從句意可知他們找到了一處較為便宜的房子，所以確定應填find，再根據全文的時態，得出應填found。

6.從句意可知這塊草地正是孩子們需要的，所以應填needed。

7.此處所填的單詞應該和后一句連起來看，此句的開頭是一個but，可知雖好，但房頂和墻壁有問題。后一句說George 需要很多錢。根據首字母可知是房子有破損，所以應填broken。

8.房頂和墻壁有破損，自然是需要修補，所以應填repair。

9.根據句意可知George 的父親是在猶豫George 能否還了錢，be able to 意為“能夠做……”，所以應填able。

10.根據上下文得出，父親不想給George 借錢，因此把George 小時候沒有在花園玩兒，也長大了作為借口，所以應填without。

【小試牛刀】

根據短文內容及首字母提示寫出所缺單詞，補全短文，使短文完整通順。

（A）

If a friend tell s us that he has a poor memory，many of us may think his p_____6 should be blamed (被責備)，and f__7__of us know that it is his o__8__fault (過失) rather than his parents’.Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have b__9__memories?
