英语六级完形填空题型分析及例题讲解

　　题型分析 　　完形填空也可称为综合填空、完形测试或完形程序，其测试理论来源于格式塔心理学，其测试理论来源于格式塔心理学，也称为完形心理学：格式塔心理学在心理学历史上最大的特点是强调研究心理对象的整体性，它强调整体性思想的核心是有机体或统一的整体构成的全体要大于各部分单纯相加之和。将这种理论应用到英语测试中来，于是有了完形填空这一题型。这类题型首创于1953年，是能比较有效地测试学生实际英语运用能力的一种练习和测试题型。正如Taylor所定义的，完形填空是完形心理学在实际生活中的具体应用，即完成一个熟悉而又不完整的形式――通常用空格表示出来。英语测试中的完形填空是从文章中系统地删掉一些单词或词组并由学生经过选择后再重新填入空白处的一种练习过程。这种测试方法充分利用了人们遇到一个整体中不完整的局部时，都自然而然地想用各种方法加以补充，使得原来不完整的部分和整体较为一致。

　　近几年来，国内外英语专家对完形填空的研究表明，完形填空测试题型涉及词汇量大，灵活度高，综合性强，要求学生具有一定综合运用语言的能力才能较好地完成这种题型。所谓综合运用语言的能力包括：词汇量及分析词义和搭配词语的能力、驾驭语法结构的能力、语篇理解能力、根据上下文进行分析判断和逻辑推理的能力、甚至社会背景和普通常识的运用能力等。因此，完形填空被公认为是一种测试学生综合运用英语能力的有效题型。

　　归纳起来，完形填空考查知识点的主要内容分为两大部分：

　　1.词汇辨析和语法结构

　　完形填空题中的空缺部分既可能是实词，也可能是虚词。这也是该题型与词汇题极为相似而又互相区别的地方。如果是实词，绝大多数情况考查的是考生对于词汇的记忆和辨析能力，以及对固定搭配的掌握;如果是虚词，则更可能考查考生的语法结构运用能力。

　　2.语篇理解能力

　　即使每一个选项的意思都了然于胸也有可能选择了错误答案，因为完形填空还要求考生根据上下文所给出的信息和提示进行分析判断、排除其他选项而最终选择正确答案。如果考生对于整个语篇理解有障碍，就难以选出正确答案。而语篇理解能力正是完形填空和一般词汇、语法题型的本质区别。请看2007年6月的大学英语四级考试试题：
