Step 1 Introduction
语法填空题是广东省2007高考的一种新题型。在一篇大约180多词的、难度适中的短文中，挖出10个空格，每空1.5分，满分15分。有的空格后有提示，有的没有提示，要求完成固定短语搭配、语法填空、词形变化等。因为不给出任何选项，这就加大了学生做题的难度，对学生提出了更高的要求。因此，我们平时必须不断的加强这一方面的训练，到高考时才能从容镇定，应对自如。
Step 2 Main content
一、命题特点
1．所选短文大约180多词，难度适中，基本符合高中生阅读。
2．挖空一般较均匀，不过密也不过疏。所缺的地方一般不会影响学生对文章的理解。
3．出题更多的是从词汇搭配和语言知识的运用上着手，上下文的理解放在相对次要的位置。
4．出题一般涉及到以下几个方面：1）动词与介词或副词搭配构成的固定动词短语；2）冠词的用法；3）连词的用法，包括从属连词和并列连词；4）派生词的用法；5）动词的适当形式；6）情态动词的用法；7）定语从句、名词性从句的引导词等。
二、解题方法及技巧
1．通读全文，把握大意。
通读全文的目的是为了把握全文的大意，为下一步填空做好语义上的准备。因为语义决定着空白处应填一个什么样的词语并采用什么样的语法形式。在通读全文的过程中，为了准确地把握其大意，很有必要弄清文章的题材，体裁，中心思想，写作线索，篇章结构，段落层次，逻辑关系，词句理解等。这样有助于考生真正读懂文章大意，也有利于填空时进行必要的逻辑推理。
2．仔细阅读，尝试填空。
在通读全文，基本把握文章大意之后，就可以着手尝试填空了。这一步是解题的关键，是一个对每个段落层次以及整个语篇中的词汇、句子、语义、语言结构和上下文语境进行综合分析并做出判断的复杂的思维过程，也是对每个考生的英语语法基本功，英语语篇的感觉能力，和运用英语思维的检验过程。
做题时，要求考生对空白处的词性能作出迅速的判断，对文章句子的结构能作出准确的分析。然后才能准确无误地填出答案。
3．复读全文，检查答案。
所有的空白处都填好了。这时，我们有必要把整篇文章从头至尾复读一遍。从语义和逻辑的角度审视全文，从词义辨析，词语搭配，和习惯用语等方方面面仔细推敲，看其语法是否正确，行文是否通顺流畅，条理是否清晰，逻辑是否合理，是否符合语感。要仔细揣摩，准确定夺。
另外，还要特别注意单词的拼写，千万不能犯由于单词写错而导致失分的低级错误。
三、备考策略
1．不断记忆，积累词汇。
2．夯实基础，学好语法。
3．大声朗读，培养语感。
语感是一种对语言、语段或词句的感受能力，是一种看不见摸不着的东西，但在做填空题时又是必不可少的东西。娴熟的语感的形成不是一蹴而就的，要在平时的学习过程中多听，多读，尤其是大声朗读犹为重要。在早读或晚读时间，抛开顾忌，放开喉咙，大声朗读，对培养语感是非常重要的。如果通过朗读能够多背诵一些课文是再好不过的了。语感在你的朗读和背诵课文的过程中，不知不觉地逐步形成了。
4．坚持不懈，多做练习。
总之，“冰冻三尺，非一日之寒。”备考语法填空题，平时既要积累扎实的基本功，又要掌握一定的解题技巧。只有这样，在高考中我们才能旗开得胜。
四．语法填空题的四大命题特点
1. 考查语法。每一个空格的设置都必定涉及到某一条或某几条语法规则，不会单纯考查单词的拼写和词组的用法。
例 1 In Greece, women had little freedom. Wealthy women hardly left their houses, but they____ (allow) to attend weddings and some festivals.
解析：因allow与they在逻辑上是动宾关系，要用被动语态，用be
allowed；由had, left可知be是一般过去式；主语是复数they，be的过去式是were，答案是were allowed。
点评：此题就涉及到动词的时态、语态和主谓一致三条语法规则。
例 2 The ____ why I was sad was that he didn't understand me.
解析：因为why 引导的定语从句，前面的先行词一定是reason。
点评：此题看起来好像是考查填入恰当的名词，但实际上是考查定语从句。
像下题这样重点考查单词拼写的试题，在高考语法填空题中出现的机会是不大的。
例3 It was ___(笨拙的) to use as one of the points of reference was the moving ship itself.
解析：此题答案为awkward。
点评：解答此题与句子意思理解无关，与语境更无关系，也与语法规则无多大关系，只考查单词的识记。
2. 考虑语境。既然采用短文的形式来考查语法，其目的就是要利用短文有较强语境的特点来命题，否则，就不如用单句来考查语法了。也就是说，考生要填出正确答案，至少需理解整个句子的意思或各分句之间的逻辑关系，或者需要理解前后几个句子，甚至整个段落或篇章。
例4 Several changes have brought wild animals to the . Foremost, air and water quality in many cities have improved as a result of the 1970's pollution control efforts…
解析：在冠词the后必定是名词，再根据下句可确定要填cities。
点评：本题若只根据设空句本身，而不阅读并理解下文，是不可能填出正确答案的。
诚然，像下列之类无需考虑语境的试题也有可能出现，但笔者认为，即使有，也不会多。
例5 I should have known when to hold fast and when to let go, which can help me avoid __ (feel) great pressure and upset.
解析：因为在avoid后作宾语的动词只能用-ing形式，所以答案为feeling。
点评：只要知道avoid 后接动词的-ing形式，就可填出答案，考生无需理解上下文，也无需理解本句句意即可填出答案，即解答此题无需考虑语境。
3. 考点分散。基本上一个空格代表一个语法点，10个空有可能涉及到10个语法点，至少也得有7个语法点。笔者认为，即使对一些非常重要的语法项目，如动词时态、非谓语动词、不定代词等，单独一项也可能是一空，至多两空，设三空的可能性是极小的。
4. 适当提示。
例6 Oil prices have risen by 32 percent since the start of the year, (reach) a record US$ 57.65 a barrel on April 4.
解析：reach及后面的内容是伴随着谓语动词的发生而产生的自然结果，用现在分词作状语，故填reaching。
例7 It would be _____ (believe) that such an honest fellow
should have betrayed his friends!
解析：因为在系动词be后作表语，要用believe的形容词形式believable；由句意“这样一个老实人竟会出卖朋友，真难以置信!”可知，还要在前面加上表示相反意义的前缀un，答案为 unbelievable。
Step 3 Explanation and deduction
五、典型例题示范
阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号为36-45的相应位置。
Eric Clapton is one of the most __36_(success) rock stars of alltime. He has sold millions of copies of his records_37______ has
appeared in concerts all over the world.
Clapton was born in 1945 in a small town, __38__ is near London. When he was only two years old, his mother left him. Eric was brought __39__ by his grandparents. Until he was nine he believed that they were his parents and it was __40__ terrible shock when he found out that they weren't. But his grandparents treated him well. They paid for him _41_(go) to art college. __42___ Eric had already become interested in music and he started
playing the guitar in bars and clubs.
Clapton first became famous when he started a group __43__ (call) Cream. Not only __44 he play the guitar and sing but also he could write excellent songs. But while on stage he was the brilliant guitar-playing superstar, his private life was falling apart. __45_ his marriage broke off, he started taking drugs.
答案：
36. successful 37. and 38. which 39. up 40. a
41. to go 42. but 43. called 44. could45. After
本篇文章粗略地介绍了超级摇滚巨星Eric Clapton的生活。
36. 此处应该填形容词successful.
37. 他已经出售了成百万张唱片，而且也出现在全世界的音乐会上。前后两部分在语义上是并列关系。因此填and.
38. 此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是地点在从句中缺少主语，故用which.
39. 当他两岁的时候，他妈妈就离开了他。Eric当然是由爷爷奶奶抚养长大。因此我们填brought up. 此处是被动语态。
40. 当他了解到他们不是（他的父母亲时），那是一个非常糟糕的打击。shock 在这里是抽象名词具体化，因此用不定冠词a.
41. 但是爷爷奶奶对他很好，他们出钱让他去美术学院。Pay for sb. to do sth.
42. 但是Eric已经对音乐产生了兴趣，他开始在酒吧和夜总会弹吉他。此处表示转折关系，用But.
43. 他创办了一个名叫Cream 的乐队，由此就成名了。a group 和call 之间是动宾关系，因此我们填called，过去分词短语做后置定语。.
44. 根据后半句也可知。他不仅能边弹吉他边唱歌，而且还能写优秀的歌曲。
45. 在舞台上，他是一个才华横溢的超级巨星。（但是）他的私生活却在逐步的土崩瓦解。在他的婚姻生活结束之后，他开始了吸毒。根据文章的意思，此处应该用介词after.
六．解答语法填空题的八条思路
要做好语法填空题，理解短文是解题的前提，扎实的词汇、句型和语法知识是基础，英语国家背景知识是必要的补充。现以下题为例，谈谈语法填空题的解题思路。
阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空：
A proverb says, “Time is money”. But in my opinion, time is even 1 precious than money. Why? 2 when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is 3 , it will never return.
4 is known to all that the time we can use is limited.
Therefore we should make 5 use of our time to study hard so as to serve our country in 6 future.
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people 7 do not realize the value of time. They 8 ___ their precious time smoking, drinking and playing.
In a word, we should form the good habit of 9 (save) time. Do not put off what can be done today 10 tomorrow.
1. 根据语法知识进行填充
第1题，由than可知，precious要用比较级，多音节形容词的比较级在前面加more，故此题答案为more。
第7题，因there are…是个句子，do not…应是一个定语从句，缺主语，先行词是人，应填who。
2. 根据逻辑关系进行填充
就是根据上下文的逻辑关系来解题。
第2题，因前句用Why提问，应当用Because来回答，故此题答案是Because。
3. 根据语篇标志进行填充
语篇是指比单个句子长的语言单位（句群、段落、篇章等）。语篇间往往有标明内在联系的词，我们称这些词为“语篇标志词”。如表示结构层次的有first, second, third, finally等；表示逻辑关系的有thus，therefore，so等；表示转折关系或变换话题的有however, but, by the way等。“语篇标志词”对迅速理清文章的脉络，弄清上下文关系很有帮助。
第3题，由However可知，是指当时间失去的时候，表示“失去”是gone。
第5题，由Therefore可知，应充分利用时间，故用形容词full来修饰名词use。
4. 根据固定词组进行填充
熟练掌握一些常见的词组，如as a matter of, be proud of, by the way, come from, congratulate…on…, devote…to…, earn one’s living, keep one’s word, make up one’s mind等，对解题很有帮助。
第6题，表示“在将来”是固定词组in the future。
5. 根据句型搭配进行填充
就是根据一些常用的句型搭配，如so/such…that…, it is…(for sb.) to do sth., There is no doubt that…, there is no sense in doing sth.等来解题。
第4题，作形式主语，用It，真正的主语是后面的that从句。
6. 根据词汇知识进行填充
指根据某些词语在用法上的特殊搭配来解题。如下列各类动词必须牢记：只能接动词的-ing形式作宾语的动词，只能接to do作宾语的动词，接to do作补语的动词，接do作补语的动词，接doing或done作补语的动词，对句式搭配要求较为特别的词语，等等。
第8题，由time smoking可想到是spend time (in) doing句型，这是由spend的用法特别所决定的；这里是一般现在时，主语是复数，填spend。
第9题，因of是介词，介词后的动词通常要用-ing形式，故填saving。
7. 根据生活常识进行填充
第10题，结合生活常识，不难理解句意为“不要把今天能做的事推迟到明天去做”，答案自然是表示“直到”的until/till。
8. 根据文化背景进行填充
就是根据英语国家的文化背景知识来解题。
如After the flood Mr. Deng was as poor as a church_______.
这句话的意思是“水灾后邓先生一贫如洗了”。as poor as a church mouse（一贫如洗），所以此处填mouse。
又如Nobody wants to go out, for it is raining cats and ______ now.
这句话的意思是“因为外面大雨滂沱，没有人想出去”。It rains cats and dogs.是“大雨滂沱”之意，故此处填dogs。
当然，上述的解题思路不可能万试万灵。扎实的语言知识和综合语言运用能力才是解题根本。除掌握解题技巧外，建议同学们做到以下几点：(1)系统复习语法知识。(2)熟练掌握课标词汇。(3)坚持每天练习一篇。
语法填空 仔细阅读下面短文，短文中有10个空格。请按照每小题的语法要求，完成语法填空或词形变换。
Experiments have proved that children can [1] (instruct)in swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at [2] their breath under water even before they can walk. [3] of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water. It is not long [4] they are so accustomed to swimming [5] they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with these young [6] (swim) is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool.
Many pedal their tricycles, [7] most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children [8] (情态动词)cover the whole length of the pool [9] (介词)coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will
tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage [10] (代词) among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.
答案与解析：
1. be instructed 因instructed与children是动宾关系，要用被动语态，即“be+动词的过去分词”，情态动词后用动词原形。
2. holding 由under water可知是“屏住气”，固定搭配hold one’s breath；又因在介词(at)后要用动词的-ing形式。
3. Babies 由上下文可知是指“二个月大的婴儿”，baby的复数是变y为i再加es。
4. before 因it is not long before…(不久以后就)是固定句型。
5. that 因为so…that…(如此……以致……)是固定句型。
6. swimmers 由with可知，后接的是名词，又由young和句意可知是指人，即“游泳者”，且为复数。
7. but 前后是转折关系。
8. can 由语境可知空格单词意思为“能够”。
9. without由语境可知是“不用冒出水面呼吸”。
10. those 由语境，特别是among us和后面的who引导的定语从句可知，指“那些人”。

I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains. The sun was setting when my car 31(break) down near a remote and poor village.

While she was getting me 34 (settle) into a tiny but clean room, the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to 35 small town some 20 kilometres away 36 there was a garage.
I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess's courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. 37 villagers brought me goat's cheese and honey. We drank together and talked 38 (merry) till far into the night. When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman 39 the trouble I had caused 40 .
下面是来自阅卷人的信息：
分析一：
从以上评分标准中可以看出，语法填空每空只填一个单词，
分析二：
从答案形式来分析，原文提供三个词供考生变化（31题的break, 34题的settle, 38题的merry），两个须填理解句子成分的从句引导词（32题的who, 36题的where），两个需要理解上下文才能填的代词（37题的Other, 40题的her），两个接近于是固定搭配的介词（33题的as, 39题的for），关键在于理解句意。
分析三：
37题填where得1.5，填Other得1.0分。平时我们没有1.0分的说法，更不用说做法了。
分析四：
语法填空要求严格区分大小写，原因是有前后文，而听取信息是填表格，对大小写的区分相对不是很严格。
反思一：
如果说2007届高考老师们心里没底，主要是由于对考纲研究不够透彻，不够准确，从07高考英语样题中可以看出，每空只能添一个单词。因此，认真研究考纲样题，剖析考纲样题，把握考纲样题，是我们所有高中英语教师的是十分必要的。
反思二：
更重要的是，平时训练命题，选材，选资料可以更慎重，仔细看看是否符合新高考的
命题细节标准。
注：单词拼写错误，大小写未区分不给分。
