由again结合上文给它搔后背它都不动可知此处它还是不动(move)。
B．Ever since

1．A.might
B．should
C．would
D．must
本题的提示词是usually根据语境这里应该表示小女孩的个人习惯句子的意思是：通常她会在那个小花园里玩耍。would意为“过去总是……”。
2．B 主句是“she desired to live in such a house...”从句是“she loved her parents and her family”主句和从句之间是让步关系虽然她深爱着自己的父母和家人但还是渴望住在那栋房子里。所以选although。
3．A “...desired to live in such a house”和“__3__all day about how wonderful and exciting...”之间是并列关系。解题关键在于desired既然渴望就会有梦想所以选择dreamed。dream about...意为“梦想……”。
4．C 本题的解题关键在于介词about 后面的宾语从句“how wonderful and exciting__4__must feel to live there.”这个句子如果用陈述句表达应该是：__4__must feel wonderful and exciting to live there经分析可知本题考查的是it作形式主语代替后面的不定式“to live there”。所以答案为C。

10．C 小女孩早就梦想着去看看那座有着金色exactly用于从句前加强语气。
11．B 文章的开始就提到“A little girl lived in a simple and poor house on a hill.”明确告诉我们小女孩住在山上所以这里应是骑车下山。
12．D 由下段的首句“she got off her bike and put it against the gate post”可知小姑娘骑车到达金色的房子的门口。
B．As
C．While
D．Because
本句的解题关键在于弄清主句中的谓语“focused on the path”和从句谓语“got off her bike”之间的逻辑关系。先下车再专心观察……got off her bike 为瞬间动词而while引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词应该是延续性的所以排除C项故选B项。
cing
C．leading
D．moving
14．C 本句要表达的是道路与房子的关系应该是这条路通向那所房子到达”；introduce...to“介绍……给……”；lead to“通向”；move toC项。

1．A.separately
B．equally
C．violently
D．naturally
1．A 本段讲了作者对美国梦的理解。作者像其他每个人一样追求美国梦并为之而奋斗所有的人都是单打独斗去追求这个梦。根据最后一段可知美国梦不是关于我们自己得到什么而是大家如何能够一起渡过难关故选A。separately“单独地”；equally“平等地”；violently“激烈地”；naturally“自然地
2．A.off
B．apart
C．over
D．out
根据“a series of unhappy events”和“I found myself homeless and alone.”可知作者的美国梦破碎了。fall apart“破碎崩溃”；fall off“跌落变坏”；fall over“被……绊倒；意外地从……上跌落”；fall out“发生；脱落”。
3．D 此处指在乡下寻找住所。search some place for sth.“在某地找某物”为固定搭配。
4．D 从上文“I had my truck and $56.”可以看出作者几乎到了穷困潦倒的地步。所以他只好在乡下租个最便宜的住所。
5．C 由前面的“a winding mountain road”与后面的“the Potomac River in West Virginia”可知地理位置关系应该是“从一边到另一边在……上面”所以用over。
B．abandoned
C．emptied
D．robbed
由上文“a shabby house”可知这是个破旧的房子而下文又说“full of broken glass and rubbish(堆满了破碎的玻璃和垃圾)”根据上下文可以推断这座房子被遗弃了没有人住。
7．C 由上文可知房子里面很脏乱只有先清理房子才能住进去。camp in“安营扎寨住进去”；clear a corner“清理出一个角落”。
8．A “当地人对我一无所知”与“开始教我……”存在转折关系应用but。
9．D 尽管当地人对我一无所知但是慢慢地他们却开始教我与邻居相处的艺术。
10．A 句意：邻居们给我送来了毯子、蜡烛和工stick around“逗留停留”；look around“四下观望”；swing around“使转过来”；turn around“(使)转身；(使)好转”。
11．C 此处指邻居们说的美国梦和我的想法是两种不同的梦。
C．friendliness
D．kindness
12．A 与上文的“他们却开始教我与邻居相处的艺术”相呼应。这个不同的美国梦就是：不是追求个人成就的梦而是追求邻里和睦相处的梦。
13．D 句子中的“all those things”指的是a job；作者原来认为这些东西应该是文明社会所“必需的
14．A.Up
B．Down
C．Deep
D．Along
由第二段“I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road...”可知房子在山上故用up。
C．satisfaction
D．appointments
15．B 最宝贵的财富就是与邻里之间的关系。
16．C 根据本空前的“moved back into”可知四年后我搬回到城里。
g
C．quitting
D．offering
根据前面所说“I saw many people were having a really hard time...”可知他们失去了工作和家园。
18．C 作者租了一间足够大的房子让一些人住进来。put in“放进；提交；申请”；turn in“上交”；take in“吸收接待让……进入”；get in“进入；到达；陷入”。注意：get in表示“进入”时是不及物动词不跟宾语。
19．B 如果大家不团结我们就会流落到住收容所的地步。
20．D 句意：美国梦更多的不是意味着我能够得到什么而是意味着我们如何团结起来共同渡过难关。解答此题的关键是应理解get by是一个固定短语意为“勉强维生”。不可理解为by together本身是副词在句中作状语。
winding
adj.
弯曲的；蜿蜒的；曲折的
减少；让……下车；睡着；(＋地点)将……送到……；把……放下
逗留；停留
不存在的；不真实的
设法过活；(靠……)维持生计；勉强应付

仔细研读近几年高考完形填空我们不难发现记叙文是高考完形填
在记叙文类完形填空的解题过程中，除了需要具备扎实的语言知识之外，还需要一套过硬的解题方法和技巧。很明显，如果掌握了若干成熟的解题路子，就会起到事半功倍的效果，从而大幅度提高正确率。下面以最新高考试题中的完形填空为例(保留原题号)，详细解读记叙文类完形填空的解题思路和策略。
1．通过“主旨大意”解题
在完形填空的解题中考生对主旨大意的理解十分重要记叙文中情节发展的走向始终体现文章的中心思想。因此对主旨大意的正确把握有助于考生对文章细节的正确理解特别是对长难句的分析和突破从而提高解题的正确率。
(2017·福建)From my second grade onent I feared every year: the piano recital(独奏演唱会)．A recital__36__I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers.Each year I__37__(would)ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”．And each year he'd shake his head(嘀咕)__38__(something)about building selfconfidence and working towards a__39__(goal)．
C．meant
D．proved
【解析】 选C。该段一开头就提出了作者许久以来一直担心的事情是独奏音乐会可见“From my second grade onthe piano recital.”是主题句。根据句中的feared可知独奏音乐会意味着作者需要演奏令人厌烦无聊的音乐曲目这个意思需要和该段的首句所表达的意思保持一致。这样联系主题句是该题解题的关键所在。
2通过“文化背景”解题
完形填空的语篇信息常交织渗透着各类相关的文化背景知识。有些选项的设置与文化背景有关这就要求考生有较宽的知识面同时具备一定的文化意识特别要有对英语国家文化的敏感性和鉴别力只有这样才能既快又准确地解题。
(2017·山东)__25__(Unfortunately)__26__women students at the time.Therefore，Charlotte went to the United States to study__27__(medicine)at the Women's Medical College in Philadelphia.It took her five years to__28__(earn)her medical degree.
26．A.hire
B.entertain
C.trust
D．accept
【解析】 选D。英语本身就充满了与众不同的语言文化利用其文化特征解题通常是很好的一个切入点。26空前后提到加拿大医科学校不招收女学生是当时的一种社会文化了解这个背景再联系文中unfortunately等信息就可以选出该题的正确答案。
3通过“瞻前顾后”解题
众
(2015·北京)
A Welcome Gift
__36__(sat)side by side at the piano.They played jazz music to celebrate their new home.The loud __37__(music) filled the room and made them feel very happy.
The next morning，__38__，their happiness disappeared.Someone had left a __39__(note)under their door during the night.One of their neighbors had written to complain(抱怨)about the sound of the piano.Dario's mother asked the building superintendent(管理员)if he knew anything about it.But he said that they were all __40__(nice)people and he couldn't imagine any of them had done that.Later that morning，Dario suggested that they write a letter to their __41__(neighbors)and apologize for their playing.
38．A.therefore
B．however
C．otherwise
D．instead
【解析】 选B。从空格前后寻找解题根据是完形填空解题中最常见的解题方法之一。上段中的“...feel very happy.”和空后的“...their happiness disappeared.”形成转折关系故选B。
4通过“逻辑关系”解题
虽然高考完形填空
(2017·四川)My husband(松鸡)．It's__11__(unusual)for a grouse to have any contact(接触)with people.In fact__12__they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching.
12．A.though
B．because
C．unless
D．until
【解析】 选B。事实上松鸡是很难被人发现的它们非常警觉。因为当它们听到人类靠近的时候通常就会飞走所以很难看到它们。很明显上下文在逻辑上是因果关系。另外考生还要注意时间、地点、条件、让步等逻辑关系。
5通过“固定搭配”解题
在语言学习中掌握词组和短语的用法是一项重要的技能要求。在高考完形填空的命题中通常会涉及短语以动词短语为主偶见介词短语等。考生需要运用所学词汇知识结合
(2015·天津)Days later(n)__23__—far below the asking price.Surprisingly，they didn't __24__(laugh at)us.They renewed their offer __25__(instead)．It was also much more than we could afford__26__(less)than the original asking price.
23．A.effort
B．offer
C．promise
D．profit
【解析】 选B。make an offer 是固定搭配表示“出价”与后面远远低于原来的要价相呼应。
6通过“生活常识”解题
完
(2015·北京)
A Welcome Gift
__36__ side by side at the piano.They played jazz music to celebrate their new home.The loud __37__(music)filled the room and made them feel very happy.
36．A.sat
B．stood
C．lay
D．walked
【解析】 选A。由空后的“...side by side at the piano.They played jazz music...”可知他们在弹钢琴再根据常识可知他们应该是坐着(sat)。
7通过“先易后难”解题
完形填空中的20个小题总是有难易之分建议考生先易后难。这样做的好处是：当大部分试题完成之后文章的情节就基本完整这样把握主旨大意进而突破细节理解就成为可能从而突破试题中相对较难的题
(2017·安徽)Arriving in the Sunshine State was rather tiring__38__(managed)to catch a taxi to my__39__and settle in.Next morning，I took another__40__(taxi)to the shopping centre to buy a few souvenirs.
39．A.hospital
B．company
C．university
D．accommodation
【解析】 选D。作者先是设法打了一辆出租车第二天早晨又乘另一辆出租车去购物中心我们把该题前后相对容易的问题解决那么该题也就水到渠成了也就是乘坐出租车到达住宿的地方。当然文中的“settle in”和“next morning”等信息也起到了提示作用。
8通过“排除错项”解题
在掌握文章大意和细节的前提下考生可以通过试填试题中的选项选出和语境最吻合、语义最衔接的一个选项这种解题方法被称为“排除错项”。
(2015·陕西)I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He smiled at me and __41____42__(different)．Dad had aged.He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled__43__(yet)his smile was still as __44__(heartwarming)as before，the smile of a father who just wanted a good __45__(life)for his family.
41．A.firmly
B．hurriedly
C．casually
D．carefully
【解析】 选D。由前文可知父亲很看重“我”给他洗的那把梳子所以“我”把干净的梳子递给他时他像以前一样小心翼翼地放在他的钱包里。carefully 表示“小心谨慎地”此处用这一词汇表达了父亲对家人的爱和珍惜firmly“强硬地有力度地”匆忙地”随意地”这些词均不符合语境故排除。
9通过“平行结构”解题
文章中的意群总是会通过一定的逻辑关系纽带连在一起特别是并列平行的结构。这些结构要么通过标点符号体现要么通过并列连词连接。一般说来这些平行并列的结构所表达的语境是一致的考生解题时要注意这一点。
(2017The first time I saw Suzy Khan，I knew I had to help her.She was really small for her age of 12.The boys in my class often__36__about her and laughed their heads off.She would open a book，pretending to read，with tears dropping on the open page.
36．A.joked
B．cared
C．forgot
D．worried
【解析】 选A。joke表示“取笑”可由该句中and后的动词laugh推知此处为近义词班上的男孩经常取笑她。从句子结构而言并列连词and之后的“laughed their heads off”的意思对该题的选择非常重要我们依据与之平行的语境可以推出正确答案。
总之通过对上述各种解题技能的解读我们可以发现完形填空的

(2017·浙江)It taught me the most__39__lesson over the years of my teaching career__40__(early)and positively.A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
39．A.difficult
B．painful
C．valuable
D.enjoyable
【解析】 选C。上文是选自原文的最后一段。文中的最后一句“A small kindness can indeed make a difference.”是文章的主题句根据文章主旨我们可以推出教师生涯的经历是有价值的当然不是痛苦的、困难的或令人愉快的。
2以“叙”索“答”
夹叙夹议文中的记叙部分总是会根据一定的线索进行叙述这些线索呈现出时间、空间、人物或事件的特点了解其发展的走向和脉络对解题会有很大的帮助。
(2017·浙江)So when Simon's mother entered the room(手掌心)were sweating.I was completely__24____25__(Because of)me，Simon had become a different person.
24．A.desperate
B．responsible
C．unprepared
D．unsuitable
【解析】 选C。此处选择的是一段记叙性文字。首先“my palms were sweating”说明作者此时此刻的心情顺着这个意思我们可以知道作者对她的吻完全是出乎意料、未做任何准备的。下文中的“surprising me beyond speech”也是重要的解题信息。
3以“议”求“答”
夹叙夹议文中通常含有作者的“议”它是作者对记叙部分所展示的情节进行的评价或分析。考生根据这些议论通常可以看到作者对所发生的事件的态度包括积极和消极、表扬和批评、支持和反对等。
(2015·福建)One of the easiest things in the world is to become a faultfinder. However__36__ when you are not busy finding fault with it.
36．A.lonely
B．great
C．quiet
D．uneasy
【解析】 选B。句意：世界上最容易的事情是成为挑错者然而当你不那么忙着挑错的时候生活就是美好的(great)。此句为文章主题句概括全文内容。由however表示的转折关系可知本空应选great表示“美好的
4．“叙议”证“答”
在夹叙夹议文中叙”和“议”是不可分割的整体记叙的目的是议论；议论的目的是说明作者的观点和态度。所以解题中考生需要把文章中的记叙和议论结合起来以保证解题的正确性。
(2017·山东)A bigger cause of my new__46__(attitude)here who had Alzheimer's disease became my__47__(friend)．Every time I came into her room__48__(happy)because she thought I was her daughter.Her real daughter never__49__(visited)her，so I took her place.She let me__50__(see)that making others feel good made me feel good too.When she died，I was__51__(heartbroken)，but I was also very grateful to her.
I think I am a much__52__person today than I used to be，and I hope I will not__53__(forget)these experiences.
52．A.quieter
B．busier
C．better
D．richer
【解析】 选C。上面是选自原文最后两个段落的部分内容。前一个段落是记叙部分后一个段落是议论部分。根据“A bigger cause of my new
__46__(attitude)Nursing Home.”和下文中的feel good等可知作者发生的变化。记叙和议论结合起来是解决第52个小题的关键也就是根据记叙的情节和议论的思想可以推知作者认为现在的自己比以前要好。

5．C 上文提到肢体语言所占的重要比例故此处应该是表示肢体语言在我们生活中所占的重要程度应该用much。

D．by all means
10．B 句意：另一方面来自拉丁美洲的人们之间却有很多的身体接触。根据语境此处表达前后之间的对比应该用on the other hand来引起下文。in other words“换句话说”；in a similar way“以相似的方式”；by all means“一定务必”。
C．silence
D．experiment
11．B 本文主要谈论语言和交际所以这里是表达文化差异尤其体现在人们的交谈中故选B项。trouble“麻烦”沉默”实验”均不合语境。

C．backing away

一、说明文类完形填空解题技巧
为了考查考生综合运用语言的能力近年来高考英语完形填空的体裁不断变得多样化其中说明文在命题中时有出现。总的看来高考说明文的选材不是随意的而是符合中学生实际的智力和认知水平旨在提高考生的素质培养考生的能力。该文体通常用言简意赅的文字按照一定的方法介绍说明事物的步骤、过程、方法等。解题时考生一方面要注意文中涉及的定义、举例说明等具体信息另一方面要遵循文体语境规律、抓准方法和技巧突破难点从而有效提高完形填空的正确率。下面以近年高
1．寻找信息法
完形填空寻找信息通常通过上下文的语境来命题。这样上下文通常会有和解题相关的信息这些信息可以帮助我们解题从而选出正确答案。
(2017·新课标Ⅰ)But their__44__(interest)soon wears off and by January those__45__(same)toys can be found put away in the basement.The world is full of__46__stamp albums and unfinished models__47__(passing)interest.
46．A.wellorganized
B．colorfullyprinted
C．newlycollected
D．halffilled
【解析】 选D。说明文体裁的文章通常含有丰富的信息量解题时考生一定要学会使用文中的有用信息。根据他们对玩具的兴趣的变化以及尚未完成的目标可以推知这本没有装满的集邮册也就是像玩具一样玩着玩着就没兴趣了据此可以选出正确答案。
2语意转折法
作者在对事
(2017·安徽)You will have more success if you study regularly__45__(routine)．It doesn't matter if you haven't got long.Becoming fluent in a language will take years__46__.
46. A．some risks
B．a lot less
C．some notes
D．a lot more
【解析】 选B。语意转折是作者表达思想的常见方法考生在解题时可以联系文章语境的走向弄清楚作者要表达的真正思想。联系上文达到语言的流利程度需要花费数年之后作者but表示语境的转折通过对比发现这里第46个空的意思和take years应该是相反的所以得出：达到基本的语言能力花费的时间要少得多(a lot less)。
3具体事例法
在说明文中作者为了说明一件事或一个道理会举出具体的事例所以举例说明是说明文的常用手法也是突破试题的重要窗口。
(2017·新课标Ⅰ)As a general rule of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis.As a matter of fact__41__(principle)at work in people of all__42__(ages)．For example__43__(playing)with their new toys.But their__44__soon wears off and by January those__45__(same)toys can be found put away in the basement.
44．A.confidence
B．interest
C．anxiety
D．sorrow
【解】 选B。文章一开头提到人们一般行为的特征是：当按惯例做事的时候各种活动都会导致厌倦。我们看到各个年龄段的人都遵循这个规律。为了说明上述规律作者在下文举了一个例子；同时上述规律也说明了所举例子的情节发展走向。据此可知孩子们一开始对玩具表现得挺兴奋可是不久其兴趣就消失了。
4顺序步骤法
为了清楚、条理地说明事物发生、发展的过程和方法作者通常会使用列举的方法来说明顺序和步骤考生需要格外注意这
(2010·安徽)First of all...Then...__52____53__(compensate for)bad handwriting，but fine，delicate lines do not command__54__(attention)next to printed text，as，__55__(for example)，a signature on a printed letter.A broader line，on the other hand，gives an impression of confidence and authority(权威)．
C．Afterwards
D．Finally
【解析】 选D。很明显作者为了介绍怎样选择好用的钢笔使用了过渡词(组)first of all等引出相关的细节内容之后选finally就顺理成章了。在说明文类完形填空试题中考生要特别注意文中举例或说明步骤、方法或过程等所用的词(组)。
5生活常识法
生活常识法是说明文类完形填空解题时常用的方法。作者所要说明的事物通常符合科学原理和理性思维且不带有个人想象的色彩这为解题提供
(2017·安徽)Most people learn best using a variety of__40__(methods)(理想的)start for many people.They__41__(provide)an environment where you can practice under the__42__someone who's good at the language.
42. A．control
B．command
C．guidance
D．pressure
【解析】 选C。在说明文类完形填空的解题中生活常识法是比较常用的其原因是该文体介绍的事件或理论通常要符合科学和逻辑且通常不带有个人想象的色彩。比如本题中进行语言练习当然需要由某个擅长语言的人“指导”control，command和pressure自然也就排除掉了。
二、议论文类完形填空解题技巧
为了考查考生分析问题、解决问题的能力和语言感悟能力议论文类完形填空在高考英语试题中常有出现。该文体通常围绕某一论点通过推理、归纳、对比和分析等手法加以证明。为了论证的需要作者会引入一些人物或事件作为论据来证明论点的真实性和正确性。相比记叙文体议论文类试题的难度相对较大但是只要找准规律也一定能够迎刃而解。下面结合近几年高考试题(保
1．因果关系法
议论文类的完形填空的特点是突出论点并运用论据对论点进行论证这样行文线索常常会体现因果逻辑关系所以解题时要善于抓住这些信息。
(2015·安徽)How did we __38__(become)a throwaway society？First of all __39__(replace)an object than to spend time and money to repair it.__40__modern manufacturing(制造业)and technology__41__(cheap)．
B．As to
D．Regardless of
【解析】 选A。本句中“modern manufacturing and technology”是“companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively”的原因即公司能够更快地thanks to“多亏由于”符合句意。
同义反义法
议论文中同义词和反义词常常是命题者挖空的角度它们之间的相互对应是解题的关键信息。同义和反义的表达方式是作者论述的常用手段。解题时考生可以通过同义的比较和反义的推断寻找解题根据。
(2017·安徽)If you want to learn a new language.Do you need it for a__36__reason，such as your job or your studies？__37__(Or)perhaps you're interested in the__38__(literature)__39__(knowledge)of the language.
36．A.technical
B．political
C．practical
D．physical
【解析】 选C。议论文中同义词和反义词常常是命题者挖空的来源有时它们之间的相互对应是解题的关键信息。本题中的“such as your job or your studies”就是指practical reason这为本题选出正确答案提供了极大的可能性。建议考生在解题中学会运用这个有效的手段。
3结构对比法
在解答议论文体裁的完形填空题时把握句子、段落组织的结构对比会使得一些题目迎刃而解。
(2017·江苏)I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who__48__(really)wants it.Computers can be shut__49__(down)and mobile phones can be turned off.The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many__50__，as well as disadvantages.
50．A.aspects
B．weaknesses
C．advantages
D．exceptions
【解析】 选C。该题中as well as是一个表示并列关系的词组所以后面的disadvantages和空格处应该是并列关系是说有许多优点也有许多缺点故选advantages。很明显运用句子的结构对比使本题迎刃而解。
4语境暗示法
语境暗示法是完形填空解题的常用方法之一该技巧要求考生充分利用议论文中上下文的有效信息来解题。
(2017·安徽)Many people start learning a language and soon give up.“I'm too__47____48__(quickly)than adults，but research has shown that you can learn a language at any__49__(age)．
ld
B．nervous
C．weak
D．tired
【解析】 选A。本题上下文中帮助解题的信息十分丰富。空前提出问题也就是许多人学习语言不久就会放弃而空后则说孩子学得快之后but表示转折并提出：研究表明任何年龄的人都可以学习语言这样就可以推出第47个空的答案也就是他们放弃的原因是他们以为年纪太大(old)了。

研读最近五年高考全国、新课标英语完形填空试题不难看出完形填空的选材均来源于英美等国家的正规网站和英美主流书刊。在进行素材文字处理和段落取舍时特别注重文章情节的完整性、信息的丰富性、语言文字的地道和文化背景的真实性。
分析高考英语完形填空试题可以看出完形填空的体裁大都以记叙文和夹叙夹议文为主也有说明文和议论文
(一)记叙文
(二)夹叙夹议文
(三)说明文
(四)议论文
1．语境理解
高考完形填空注重在语境中考查词义和词语的用法所设置的考点90%以上都是有语境的。设空处的答案有的由上文决定有的由下文决定有的要综合上
文章中的语境有一定的制约性，它有助于理解语言模糊或歧义现象，确定代词所指、属格意义等。其情感性又是文意发展、作者意图和主人公心理动机的真实体现，因此利用语境的情感性可以巧妙地进行完形填空信息推断。另外，完形填空文章中的语境通常都具有一定的褒贬性，它反映了作者或主人公特定的情绪状态，并支撑着文意的发展，因此利用褒贬性语境可以巧妙地进行完形填空信息推断。
2．语法知识
3．词汇运用
高考完形填空的命题原则是“以实词为主虚词为辅突出词汇语境化”。所以完形填空中词汇的最大考点是实义词其中以动词、名词、代词、形容词、副词为主。动词的测试要点是固定短语、惯用搭配等；名词的测试要点主要是同义词意义或用法辨析等；形容词的测试要点是形容词作定语、表语形容词的比较级和最高级等；副词的考查内容包括各类副词如
4．逻辑推理
考查考生对上下文逻辑关系的理解如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、增补关系、比较关系、对比关系等。四个选项都表示文章的起承转合、上下连贯等逻辑关系必须弄清句子前后的逻辑关系才能做出正确选择。
常识判断
有些题目的设置无论从词汇、语法、惯用法还是语境方面都可行在这种情况下就需要考生借助常识或某些背景知识来解决问题。考生不仅要熟练掌握所学知识具有一定的边缘学科知识还要了解英语文化和风俗习惯等养成跨文化思维意识。
文章短挖空多全文保持一定的挖空密度。
短文的首句一般不设空。记叙文的第一句通常把故事发生的时间、地点、人物和事件等交代清楚作为考生在解题时理解并掌握全文大意的基础。一般情况下议论文和说明文的第一句是文章的主题句抓住主题句便抓住了文章的主旨。从近几年的高考试题来看完形填空的设空具有一定的标准两空之间不少于3个词最多不超过35个词。一般来说文章越短挖空密度越大理解起来难度就越大。
侧重考查语境理解淡化对语法的考查。
完形填空一般在语
3．设空以单词填空为主短语或词组填空为辅；考查以实词为主虚词为辅。
在设空方面备选答案多设置实词。另外选项具有有效性和干扰性充分体现了语言知识灵活运用的特征。
体裁多为记叙文题材趋于多样化。
完形填空体裁以
5．选项具有同类性。
由于情境意义选择填空的需要四个备选答案往往是相同的词类。如果孤立地看挖空的句子可能每个选项都能满足句子的要求无论将哪个选项填进去从语法上讲都是正确的此时要确定正确答案只能根据全文的内容和情节的发展做出判断。
保留首句以给出提示。
为给考生理解文章奠定基础使考生更易于理解文章内容命题者在设计完形填空时一般会保留一个或大半个完整的句子不挖空。
第一步：关注首句把握主旨
完形填空所选短文的首句一般是一个不设空的完整的句子往往是文章的topic sentence用以阐述文章的主旨大意。因此我们在解题时一定要注意以首句的时态、语态及表述方式为立足点来进行逻辑思考判断文章体裁找出文章的中心大意。然后要快速浏览全文弄清各段落、各层次之间的内在联系把握文章的完整性。
第二步：瞻前顾后先易后难
大致
第三步：上下连贯，复查全文
在解题时要善于捕捉题眼，迅速找到语篇中的特殊的内在的逻辑关系——表示因果、递进、转折等意义的连接词、动词、形容词、副词、同位语等，还有那些具体的事实(如时间、地点、人物、事件等)以及它们之间的联系等。
