考向分析
纵观近几年陕西高考及全国卷英语完形填空题，该题均侧重考查考生对“语义、语境、语篇”的深层次理解及语言运用能力（词语运用、词义辨析和短语搭配等）。具体特点如下：
1．选材以记叙文为主，内容兼有教育性和启迪性
从体裁上看，完形填空题以记叙文和夹叙夹议文为主，议论文和说明文为辅。陕西卷这几年基本上是以记叙文为主，总词数大体在300词左右。2012年各省高考完形填空题中，记叙文或夹叙夹议文有15篇之多。
从题材上看，完形填空题力图选取一篇有教育意义和现实意义的文章。短文内容新颖、时尚，选材涉及日常生活、文史知识、科技小品、社会热点、政治、经济、人物传记等。
2．首句一般不设空，全文保持一定的挖空密度
完形填空的第一句一般都是完整的句子。记叙文的第一句通常把短文中故事发生的时间、地点、人物和事件等交代清楚，这是考生在解题时理解并掌握全文大意的基础。议论文和说明文的第一句很多时候是文章的主题句，抓住主题句便抓住了文章的主旨。
空格在短文中均衡分布。绝大多数空格之间的距离大致相当，空格与空格之间的平均词距约为11个，最小4～5个。
3．以语篇考查为主，单纯语法考查很少
完形填空题以语篇为载体，立足于考生对全文的理解，既考查考生的语法知识、阅读理解能力，又考查考生综合运用知识的能力。做题时需要感受语境，通过寻找上下文中的隐含信息才能作出合理的选择。
另外，单纯考查语法结构的题目数量很少，重在文意干扰，每题的四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。如果是副词，则都是副词，如果是动词，则都是动词。如果孤立地看挖空的句子，每个选项可能都满足句子的需要，将哪个选项填进去，从语法上讲都是正确的，但是要确定正确答案，只能根据全文的内容和情节发展来作出判断。
4．以考查实词为主，虚词为辅
选项词汇主要是实词，虚词较少出现。2012陕西卷有17个题考查实词，尤其是动词、动词短语和名词的用法，仅有3题考查虚词。
2010～2012陕西高考卷统计：
根据上面表格所反映出来的信息可知，和往年一样，完形填空题重点考查的词类为：名词、动词、形容词、副词。这就要求考生具有很好的词汇知识，能熟练运用所学过的常见词汇；还要求他们具有较强的语感，具有对语篇进行整体处理的能力。做到“上下求索寻信息，左顾右盼找答案，瞻前顾后想全文”，同时结合考生个人积累的各方面的知识正确解读全文。
答题步骤
做完形填空试题，切忌孤立地从单句、个别空处着手选答案，这样易脱离上下文，从而产生错误。一般来说，解答完形填空题应遵循以下三个步骤。
1．略读全文，把握大意。
文章都有中心议题和中心内容。通读全文，才能全局在胸、弄清文脉、理清思路，才能抓住文章主旨，获得整体印象，把握短文大意，使思维朝着正确的方向发展。在阅读中要特别注意提示句，并尽量记忆关键词、句，力求把文章内容串联起来。
2．细读全文，初选试填。
在理解全文大意的基础上，再结合所给备选项细读全文，遵循词不离句、句不离文的原则，联系上下文内容，运用平时积累的英语语法和语言知识及根据文中语义、逻辑和搭配的需要进行综合考虑，通过分析、比较和筛选，排除干扰项，初步选定答案。
在作出选择的过程中，要瞻前顾后，通篇考虑，先易后难。对比较明显直接的、自己最有把握的答案先进行确定。对少数难题，可暂定答案，在复读全文后分析推敲。
3．复读全文，校核答案。
完成选择后，要把所选的答案代入原文，再把全文通读一篇，逐空认真复查。完成后的文章应该文意完整、语法正确、语言通顺、用词恰当、逻辑合理、符合习惯表达法。如发现错误或有疑问的答案，应再次推敲、反复斟酌、做出修正。
技法指导
1．依据文章首句，判断主旨大意。
依据文章首句所给的线索可以看出文章的体裁，判断主旨大意，掌握作者的写作思路及其对某人或某事物的感情色彩。只有掌握了主旨大意，理清了文章结构，了解了各部分之间的关系，才能加深对文章的整体理解。换句话说，考生应对全文有一个清晰的概念，明白文章的各部分都是为了表达同一个主题，这样在略读时就更容易把握含空格的句子的真正含义，答题时就会显得轻而易举了。如：（2012·课标全国高考）
Body language is the quiet，secret and most powerful language of all!
剖析：根据首句可知，这是一篇说明文，介绍身势语的特点、功能及作用。
2．根据文章大意，把握上下文的关系。
做完形填空题绝不能离开上下文。很多题仅从语法角度来说，可能有两三个正确答案，但是结合上下文，情况就不一样了。上下文是形成语境的基础，任何语言结构、语法关系、词语搭配都不能无视上下文的联系。做题时，要学会瞻前顾后，要做到词不离句、句不离段、段不离文。有时我们会发现，上文的答案在下文有提示，而下文的答案在上文中也有信息。如：（2012·课标全国高考）
According to specialists，our bodies send out more __37__ than we realize.In fact，nonverbal（非言语）communication takes up about 50% of what we really __38__.And body language is particularly __39__ when we attempt to communicate across cultures.
37．A．soundsB．invitations
C．feelings
D．messages
剖析：D send out意为“发出，放出”，身势语发出的不是“声音”、“邀请”或“感情”，而是“信息”，所以选messages。
38．A．hope
B．receive
C．discover
D．mean
剖析：D hope“希望”；receive“收到”；discover“发现”；mean“意味着，打算”。根据句意可知应选D项，表示“非言语交际实际上占了我们表达的意思的50%”。
39．A．immediate
B．misleading
C．important
D．difficult
剖析：C 根据连词and可知，该句继续说明身势语的作用，所以应选C项，表示“当我们试图进行跨文化交际的时候，身势语尤为重要”。
3．根据文章语境，进行词义辨析。
完形填空的命题特点之一就是利用词汇辨析知识命题，而且占了整篇文章题目的绝大部分。首先要准确把握词汇的意思和用法以及不同语境中的变化，仔细辨析相似、相近词语的词义，特别注意词语的固定搭配以及词汇的引申意义。如：（2012·课标全国高考）
It speaks__36__ than words.
36．A．straighter
B．louder
C．harder
D．further
剖析：B speak指说话的方式，根据第一句判断此处说明身势语的作用之大，所以应选B项，表示“身势语比语言更响亮；身势语胜于言辞”。
4．体会文章的色彩，注意语言的和谐。
作者对完形填空文章赋予了一定的感情色彩。首先要理解作者说话的语气和文章的感情色彩，这种语气和色彩是和谐一致的，而且贯穿全文的。做题时要充分体会上下文语言的和谐性，理解文章的深层含义。如：（2012·课标全国高考）
People from Latin American countries，__45__，touch each other quite a lot.Therefore，it's possible that in __46__，it may look like a Latino is __47__ a Norwegian all over the room.The Latino，trying to express friendship，will keep moving __48__.The Norwegian，very probably seeing this as pushiness，will keep __49__—which the Latino will in return regard as __50__.
45．A．in other words
B．on the other hand
C．in a similar way
D．by all means
剖析：B 拉美人则是另一种情况，所以选B项，表示“另一方面”。
46．A．trouble
B．conversation
C．silence
D．experiment
剖析：B 下面描述的是北欧人和拉美人交谈的情况，所以选B项。
47．A．disturbing
B．helping
C．guiding
D．following
剖析：D 由于拉美人习惯身体接触，而北欧人却不习惯，所以交谈中不断躲闪着，看起来就像拉美人在追逐北欧人一样，因此选following。
48．A．closer
B．faster
C．in
D．away
剖析：A 拉美人想要通过身体接触表示友谊，必然会不断地向对方靠近，所以选closer。
49．A．stepping forward
B．going on
C．backing away
D．coming out
剖析：C 拉美人想要靠近，北欧人则想要躲开，所以选C项表示“向后倒退”。
50．A．weakness
B．carelessness
C．friendliness
D．coldness
剖析：D 北欧人的躲闪必然使拉美人误以为“冷漠”或“不礼貌”，所以选D项。
5．把握文章脉络，进行推理判断。
在完形填空题中常常要对文章的情节、作者的态度等进行推理判断。因此首先要抓住文章的脉络，弄清楚文章的结构及上下文的逻辑关系。只有这样，才能加深对文章深层意义的理解，从而更好地完成“完形”的任务，恢复文章的原貌。如：（2012·课标全国高考）
But whatever the situation，the best __54__ is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be __55__.
54．A．chance
B．time
C．result
D．advice
剖析：D 下文的黄金法则显然是一种“建议”，所以选advice。
55．A．noticed
B．treated
C．respected
D．pleased
剖析：B 根据前面的treat可以推知，此处应用其被动语态形式，所以选B项，表示“按照你想要被对待的方式对待别人”。
误区警示
1．文章大意易错点
（2011·山东高考）I can't recall any of the songs that the band played.I just remembered that I really enjoyed the show and didn't want it to __49__.
49．A．continue
B．delay
C．finish
D．change
【错混透析】C 文章讲述的是作者第一次听现场音乐会的故事，当时的演出给他留下了非常深刻的印象，多年之后，作者虽然记不起当时的歌曲，但是记得非常喜欢，所以不想演出“结束”。
【解题指导】做这类题时，考生易忽略文章大意。应该在把握文章大意的基础上，对文章进行总体了解，避免做了后面的题目后才发现和前面的内容冲突或矛盾。
2．情感态度易错点
（2011·山东高考）However，at the last minute，one of the friends couldn't go，so my brother offered me the ticket.I was really __40__！
40．A．relaxed
B．embarrassed
C．excited
D．encouraged
【错混透析】C relaxed“放松的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；excited“兴奋的”；encouraged“受到鼓舞的”。从当时作者的心情判断，得到票后应该很“兴奋”。
【解题指导】做这类题时，考生往往忽略作者的情感态度，错误地理解文章意思。八岁的孩子能够有机会与大哥哥们一起去看现场演出，当然是很“兴奋”，而不会是“放松”、“尴尬”或“受到鼓舞”。
3．上下文关系易错点
（2011·山东高考）I remember the buzz（嘈杂声）of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our seats.After a few minutes，the lights went down and everybody became quiet.I could barely make out the stage in the __43__.We waited.
43．A．silence
B．noise
C．darkness
D．smoke
【错混透析】C 从很难辨认出舞台推断，这是在“黑暗”中，所以看不清。
【解题指导】做这类题时，考生往往只拘泥于个别词句的意思，忽略整篇文章的语境和上下文的联系，从而造成失误。在选择答案时不要只注意选项所在的短语、句子或段落，要善于从上下文中寻找相关的提示信息。
4．逻辑关系易错点
（2011·山东高考）Then there was a roar from the crowd，like an explosion，as the first members of the band __44__ the stage.My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear，but I couldn't __45__ what he was saying.
44．A．fell upon
B．got through
C．broke into
D．stepped onto
【错混透析】D step onto“踏上，走上”；fall upon“（责任）落在……身上，袭击”；get through“通过，做完”；break into“闯入”。 此处演员出场，当然应选D项表示“走上舞台”。
45．A．forget
B．hear
C．repeat
D．bear
【错混透析】B 由于观众在喊叫，所以尽管哥哥在我耳边大声喊叫，我还是无法“听到”哥哥的话。
【解题指导】做这类题时，要合理理解文章的内容，正确地把握逻辑关系。逻辑关系主要涉及原因、时间、条件、转折等方面。只要我们弄明白文中的关键词以及逻辑关系，就能确定比较明确的、直接的答案。
5．基本常识易错点
（2011·山东高考）When they discovered that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre，they all bought __38__ for the performance.
38．A．flowers
B．drinks
C．clothes
D．tickets
【错混透析】D 根据常识以及下文可知应选D项，去看演出当然是买“票”，而不是买“花”、“饮料”或“衣服”。
（2011·山东高考）I remember the buzz（嘈杂声）of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our __41__.
41．A．seats
B．entrance
C．spots
D．space
【错混透析】A seats“座位”；entrance“入口”；spots“地点；现场”；space“空白；空”。根据常识可知，在剧场里面应是找到“座位”，而不是找到“入口”、“地点”或“空间”。
【解题指导】做这类题时，我们应该在了解短文主要意思的基础上结合基本常识进行解题。平时学习中，应当注意知识的积累，加强不同学科间的知识融合。多阅读，多体会，注意中西文化的差异，掌握一名合格的中学生应具备的基本常识。

（2012·安徽皖南八校联考）

“Life is speeding up.Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something average __1__ would say today.But in fact，people who lived in Rome AD 52 already__2__ it.
We all love new__3__.They are exciting，amazing and can even __4__ our lives.

I am my mother's third child.When I was born，her doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was __1__，below the elbow（肘部）．Then he gave her some __2__：“Don't treat her any __3__ from the other girls.Demand more.” And she __4__！

A LESSON FROM A FROG TALE
A group of frogs were jumping through the woods when two of them fell into a deep hole.All of the other frogs __1__ around the hole to see what could be done to help their __2__.When they saw how deep the hole was，the rest of the group __3__ that it was hopeless and told the two frogs in the hole that they should prepare themselves for their fate（命运），because they were as good as __4__.
Unwilling to accept this terrible fate，the two frogs began to jump with all their __5__.Some of the frogs shouted into the hole that it was __6__，and that the two frogs wouldn't be in that __7__ if they had been more careful.
The other frogs continued __8__ shouting that they two should save their __9__ and give up，since they were already as good as dead.The two frogs __10__ jumping as hard as they could，and after several hours of hopeless __11__ they were quite tired.
Finally，one of the two frogs followed the calls of his fellows.Disheartened，he lay down at the __12__ of the hole，and died as the others looked on in helpless sorrow.The other frog continued to jump with every bit of energy he had，__13__ he was completely worn out.
His companions began a new shouting to him to accept his fate，stop the pain and __14__ die.The frog jumped harder and harder and，finally jumped so __15__ that he sprang from the hole.__16__，the other frogs celebrated his unbelievable freedom and then gathering around him asked，“Why did you continue jumping when we told you it was impossible？”__17__ their lips，the astonished frog explained to them that he was deaf，and that when he saw their gestures and shouting，he thought they were __18__ him on.What he had got as __19__ inspired him to try harder and finally succeeded.
