2010年广东高考英语语法填空命题分析

 “语法填空”是从2007年起广东新设的一道题。从命题的形式上看，它主要依据语篇，考查考生对英语语法的分析和运用能力；在启用此题的同时，广东取消了单项填空题，从而也更好地体现了新课程的理念，实现了从“题感”向“语感”培养的回归。

根据2010广东考纲来看，“语法填空”命题仍采用以下形式：要求考生阅读一篇大约200个词的短文，然后完成l0个语法填空。考生应按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

【参考答案及解析】

31. it。it在宾语从句中用作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。

32. to please。sb is easy to do sth是英语中的固定句型。

33. a。experience表示经历为可数名词，这里指一次愉快的经历。

34. pushed。因与stepped并列，故要用一般过去时。

35. where。where在此引导定语从句，表示地点。

36. choice。由于是用在形容词性物主代词后，所以只能用其名词形式。

37. on。on sale是固定搭配，意为“出售”。

38. him。由于给父亲买礼物，所以应该是使父亲高兴。please him的意思是“使他高兴”。

39. at。at table表示“在餐桌边”“在进餐”，是习惯搭配。

40. was informed。根据句意，此处应用一般过去时，又因Jane与inform之间为被动关系， 故填was informed。
