第 3 讲 说明文
说明文是对事物的特征、本质、性能、状态、用途、原理或事物的发生、发展、结果等
进行介绍、解释、说明的一种文体。与记叙文相比,说明文类完形填空多用一般现在时,其
语言简练、平实、准确,常采用客观描述,其主题明确,层次分明。高考说明文类完形填空
往往在文章的开头就点明说明对象,从而为同学们把握文章主题提供了有利条件。而且,作
者借助合理的说明顺序展开文章,使文章结构清晰,层次分明。
解题要领 内容解读
通读全文,明确作者是针对哪一个说明对象从不同的角度和侧面对
明确说明对象,
其加以说明的。在阅读过程中要概括、总结每一段说明的侧重点,
理清段落关系。
理清各段之间的关系,加深对说明对象的理解。
在说明的过程中作者会选择合理的说明顺序对说明对象进行解说。
把握了说明顺序就能准确把握文章的脉络,加深对整篇文章的理
解。常见的说明顺序有时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序(如因果关
弄清说明顺序,
系、果因关系、先主后次等)和认识顺序(如由此及彼、由浅入深、
把握作者态度。
由局部到整体、由现象到本质等)。另外,在理清作者思路的基础
上,还要注意反映作者态度的关键词或关键句,把握作者的写作情
感和意图。

Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek.For them,there’s
something highly exciting about 1 someone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be
seen.
But we witness preschool children are remarkably 2 at hiding.They often cover only
their eyes with their hands,leaving the rest of their bodies 3 .
For a long time,this ineffective hiding method was 4 as evidence that children are
hopelessly “egocentric”(自我中心的) creatures.But our surprising research results in child
developmental psychology 5 that idea.
We brought children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC.Each 6 sat
down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 7 .We then asked the child if she could 8
or hear the adult.Surprisingly,children replied they couldn’t.
A number of 9 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked.Theresults were clear:Our young subjects 10 the questions and knew exactly what was asked of
them.Their 11 to the questions reflected their true 12 that “I can see you only if you
can see me,too.” They simply 13 mutual(相互的) recognition and regard.Our 14
suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanket over her head,it’s not a result of
egocentrism.Actually children consider this method 15 when others use it.
