考向 34 完形填空之夹叙夹议
文体分析
一般说来，“夹叙夹议”中的“叙”常见的有三种情况：记叙性叙述、描写性叙述和议论性叙述。记叙性
叙述带有很强的叙事性。描写性叙述有浓厚的描写色彩。议论性叙述往往由几个事例构成，常采用排比的句式，
酣畅淋漓，大气磅礴，表达出飞扬的激情和深邃的思想，极具感染力。这种“叙”难说是叙还是议，实际上是
理性化的叙述，叙议一体，渗透了作者的思想与情感。这三种叙述方法，记叙性叙述要把事件的过程写清楚，
适合举一个事例时使用；描写性叙述要有对人物和情节的想像再造，适合对一个场景或情境的描述；议论性叙
述要选择几个相关的事例，具有概括性，适合列举一组典型事例时使用。
“议”是“夹叙夹议”语段的核心、灵魂，是事例叙述的意义之所在。“议”，有四种常见的议论方式。
（1）分析性议论。这是一种最常见的议论形式，是对叙述的事例加以分析，揭示事例的内涵，阐释事例的
意义，透析事例的实质，使读者能够悟道明理。
（2）感悟性议论。这种议论在叙述事例之后生发开去，着重表达作者的感想和领悟。
（3）联想性议论。由事例引发联想，由此及彼，联想到过去、现实、未来，联想到包含着类似道理的事例，
表达出作者对客观世界的一种认知。
（4）对比性议论。先是对所叙述的事例阐述、挖掘，然后再举出事例与之比较分析，找出二者的相同点或
不同点，通过对比，孰优孰劣，褒贬分明。
题型分析
一、题型解读
在夹叙夹议形式的完形填空中,作者首先叙述一件事,然后就此事提出自己的见解或由此事引出一个深刻的
社会主题。夹叙夹议类型的完形填空常见的有以下三种形式：
1.先叙述最后得出结论
首先作者讲述一个事件，并且利用了主要的篇幅讲述整个事件的发生、发展、高潮、结局，然后作者就此
展开议论，或者阐述一个深刻的社会热点，或者自己对生活的感悟等。
2.先议论再叙述
这也是我们平时见得比较多的完形填空类型。文章首先提出一个深刻的社会话题，或者提出一个人生哲理，
然后通过一个事件来印证这个深刻的道理，让人们在具体的事例中体会作者的观点。
3.叙述议论多方结合
这一类文章包括“议论＋叙述＋议论”型、“叙述＋议论＋叙述＋议论”型。这两种模式都可以概括为多层
叙述与议论。也就是针对每一部分论点用事例说明，然后再提出论点再进行论证，或者采用叙述，然后议论的
形式。二、解答技巧
夹叙夹议型文章的思路跳跃性强,按照一般的命题要求,文章的首句或者是一个完整的富有哲理的句子,这个
句子不容忽视,往往是全文的关键句,甚至是文章的主题；或者是一小段叙述文,作者下文要对此展开议论。夹叙
夹议文的主题明确,那就是告诉读者一个道理。因此,正确理解首句和开头段落以及它们在文章中的作用是非常重
要的。
夹叙夹议型完形填空是记叙和议论在文中交错运用,这样,不但可以大大充实文章的内容,而且能增强文章的
说服力,从而既易于读者理解,又引发读者思考。只要抓住文章的线索,弄明白文章的逻辑关系,就能确定比较明确
的、直接的答案。
夹叙夹议型文章的基本结构模式是：①用一段概括性的话引入要叙述的经历(话题)；②叙述先前的经历及
其感悟或发现；③叙述接下来的经历及其感悟或发现；④作出总结或结论。文章通常使用对比、附加、强调、
让步、举例、结论、顺序和对照等手段。因此考生应注意观察文章的结构特点,根据故事情节的发展模式,确定恰
当的衔接词。常见的语篇标志词有：表示逻辑关系的,如thus,therefore,so,though等；表示改变话题的,如by the
way等；表示递进关系的,如besides,further,furthermore,what is more等。

thick grass. I 56 twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland 57 : gravel
（砾石）, stones and rocks. 58 you climb into an arctic-like zone with 59 snow and the glaciers that may
soon disappear.

I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to
the ground.A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a 1 woke me up. A fire had 2 in my grandma’s room
and awakened her. 3 hearing her, my brother had jumped into 4 , running from room to room quickly
waking everyone in the house. 5 we could do anything, the fire consumed it. We all barely 6 it outside
before the flames had taken hold of every room.
I stood there 7 while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched 8 while my mom
cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us 9 we had lost all of our things.
As I looked around, though, I 10 something for the first time: The things that 11 aren’t things. I
saw my brother running across the swinging bridge by our house to get help. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each
other’s arms and my mom 12 our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all 13 . Everything
that was 14 had survived the fire. Our life would 15 . We would survive without the “stuff” that was
16 . We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time
what was 17 valuable in this life. It helped me to learn that the 18 we share is far more important than
the things we own.
Live your life for the things that matter, not for the things you 19 . Love your family. Love others. Let the
fire inside of you make this world a 20 place. Let your soul shine bright.

I was always complaining about wind or rain. Although it was nothing unusual for the arrival of wind or rain, it
caused inconvenience for me to go out, and sometimes it even created an awful atmosphere, so I 21 it strongly.
On a rainy day a meteorologist (气象学家) I met was very 22 at my great anger caused by rain that made a
little inconvenience for me.
He asked, “Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there were no typhoon?”
I shook my head. I had no experience of how overwhelming it was when it 23 everything away in its way.
“Well, let me tell you,” the meteorologist said. “Without it the 24 of fresh water will be more serious, for it
is a great 25 of water supply on earth. Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution of 26
. The equatorial area that receives the most sunshine on earth 27 entirely on typhoon to disperse (驱散) heat.
Without typhoon the tropics would be even 28 while the frigid zones much colder. As a result the temperate
zones (温带) would 29 from the world...”
Ignorance made me 30 . I disliked wind only because it ruffled (吹乱) my hair. I hated rain merely because I
had to carry an umbrella. But I had no idea at all that typhoon—something much more violent, something a thousand
times more 31 than wind or rain—was a(n) 32 to the existence of mankind.
33 no road on earth goes all the way on level ground, there’s no person in the world who can do whatever he
pleases. Wrong as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop to think for a moment before
he complains. “ 34 typhoon disappeared all together? What would the world become then?” The 35 will
keep him calm and lead him closer to truth—he will be better aware of the world he lives in.

Having repeatedly heard “good manners”, do you really understand what the basic elements of good manners are?
Certainly, a strong sense of justice is one—(from this angle) politeness is often 36 but a highly developed sense
of fair play. A friend of mine once told me of him 37 along a one-lane dirt road. 38 was another car that
produced clouds of choking 39 , and it was a long way to the nearest highway. Suddenly, at a 40 place,
the car in front pulled off the road. 41 that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if
anything was wrong. “ 42 ”, said the other driver, “but you’ve tolerated my dust this far; I’ll 43 yours the
rest of the way.”
Another element of politeness is empathy, a (an) 44 that enables a person to see into the mind or heart of
someone else, to 45 the pain or suffering there and to do something to minimize it. A man 46 alone in a
restaurant was trying to unscrew (拧开) the cap of a beer bottle. 47 he couldn’t do it because of badly injured
48 . He turned to a young kid for help. The kid took the bottle. 49 and loosened the cap without difficulty.
Then he 50 it again. Tuning back to the man, he 51 to make great efforts to open the bottle without
success 52 he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly, saying that he had 53 to loosen it—but only
with a pair of pliers (钳子).
Last but not least, the ability to treat all people 54 is also an element of politeness, regardless of status or
importance. 55 when you have doubts about some people, act as if they are worthy of your best manners. Are
you astonished to find out the basic factors of “politeness”?

My first year living in Los Angeles, I was a birthday-party clown. I struggled a lot with my identity because, though
I viewed myself as a 56 everyone in my life associated me with this 57 day job. To make matters more
confusing, being a clown is 58 an identity-masking job.
One night, someone said: .“Tomorrow you’re going to be Batman.” At the time I had a giant mustache. I knew: a
clown with a mustache—that’s a huge red 59 for parents. But I hadn’t wanted to 60 my physical
appearance for that job.
The next day, I went to the party and I had to leave my car 61 far enough away so that the kids couldn’t see
Batman 62 in a PT Cruiser(PT漫步车). I popped in through the front door : “Surprise! Batman’s here!” All the
kids 63 . But they didn’t want to see Batman sweaty and panting from a brisk jog, so I just kept 64 . I
started to regret my choice to not 65 . I’m thinking, “Gosh, this party is not going to go well.” I’m so
embarrassed. I wanted to 66 and run back to my Bat mobile. But then the laughter kind of merges and changes
into cheering and applause.
Then I was still about 20 yards away from the party 67 I just started running and my cape was billowing(鼓
起) in the 68 , and—mustache or not—in that moment, I was Batman.
I saw the birthday boy with his dad, and the 69 was laughing, saying, “You see, son. I told you Batman had a
mustache.”Just then I saw the 70 birthday cake with a frosting Batman drawn on it, and the Batman has a
mustache. I just stared at it in 71 . It looked just like my mustache.
Those kids were at the perfect age where they still believed in miracles and heroes and that the world is an 72good place—all the stuff that’s so difficult for us to keep believing 73 we grow up in a cold and complicated
world.
That year, I struggled a lot with my 74 ; was I a filmmaker, or was I a clown? But that day, at least, there was
75 in my mind what I was. I may not have been the hero that they expected. But that day, I was the hero that they
needed.

It’s funny how a small corner of the earth can have outsized relevance in life. For me, it’s a swing set on a
playground.
I decided to take my six year old son Joe on a weekend trip to the University of Virginia, my alma mater (母校). I
planned out every detail 76 and wanted my son to become familiar with something dear to me, 77 he did
not fully understand. I took Joe to my favorite breakfast spot. I 78 him my dorm and fraternity (兄弟会) house,
and then the bar where I’d worked in college. We even went to a lacrosse (长曲棍球) game. All of this registered withmy son, but without the 79 I expected. 80 , we were running out of things to do. I asked Joe what he
wanted to see. I would never 81 his response: “I would not mind finding a swing set.” That’s when it hit me. For
a guy who thought he 82 every inch of his college town, the question caught me flat-footed: I had no idea where
to look. 83 , I remembered the Venable Elementary School, something I’d 84 countless times but never
really noticed. We parked in the lot, empty on a Saturday, and I 85 my son and watched him delightedly swing
back and forth. It was the joy I had sought for him on my terms, 86 he only found on his.
What did I learn on that trip? First, travel is great fun and often leads to 87 . But our world will always
assure us greater happiness which is just around the corner. Second, do not rely too much on your 88 . Do your
best but stay 89 , and always remember what John Lennon said: Life is what happens to you while you are busy
making other plans. Third, there is always a new way to 90 things, no matter how much you think you know. I’m
sure I would have missed the lesson if Joe hadn’t made his old man stop at the swings in Charlottesville. For that, I will
always be grateful.
