【2016考纲解读】
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，完形填空题以记叙为主，议论为辅，结构完整，用词准确，篇章条理清晰，叙事通畅明了。从题材上看，完形填空力图选取一篇有教育意义和现实意义的文章，主题明确，逻辑性强，语言地道生动，内容新颖、时尚，内容通常涉及日常生活、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，作为考生在解题时理解并掌握全文大意的基础。很多时候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。
空格在短文中均衡分布。相邻空格之间间隔适当，避免了提示信息过多或过少的情况。
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。试题注重考查考生结合词汇、语法、语篇知识、生活常识、文化背景知识等进行逻辑推理和综合判断的能力，而非简单考查其词汇使用和单句语法及意义方面的知识。在干扰项的设计上，充分考虑了测试的信度与效度，避免了干扰项与正确项相似度过低或过高而引起的干扰性过弱或过强的情况。
单纯考查语法结构的题目数量很少，重在文意干扰，每题四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。如果孤立地看挖空的句子，可能每个选项都能满足句子的需要，无论将哪个选项填进去，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作出判断。
4．考点分布合理。以考查单词为主，短语或词组为辅；以考查实词为主，虚词为辅。
这样的设置既要求考生具有很好的词感，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。
高考完形填空的命题特点：
一、选材特点
1．以叙为主，叙议结合
高考完形填空题的选材多为具有一定故事情节的记叙文或是叙议结合、以叙为主、富有哲理的论说文。
2．短文词数在210—320之间
对考生的阅读语速有一定要求。
二、设题特点
近几年高考完形填空题的一个显著特点是突出语篇。吃透短文的大意是正确答题的基础。从每个小题的设计来看，只需读懂设空所在句便可找到答案的题目所占的比例很小，需要通过上下文来考虑的题目每年要占70%以上，其中需要从全文角度考虑的占1/3以上，这些都体现了“突出语篇”的命题思路。
选项设计的一个显著特点是以考查实词为主，包括动词、形容词、副词、名词、代词等词类，占全部题目的85%以上。
首句完整，主题明确。完形填空题所选短文一般无标题，但首句通常不设空，目的是让考生能迅速进入主题，熟悉语言环境，建立正确的思维导向。短文都有比较明确的主题。全文围绕这个主题阐述和展开。
三、解题技巧
完形填空答题时必须遵循“整体——部分——整体”的步骤，要先完其意后完其形。注重整合注重上下文信息关联，做到瞻前顾后。
1、跳读首尾句，判断文体，预测主题
一般说来，完形填空题的首尾句是不设空的，先跳读这两句，便可判断体裁，猜想它要讲什么。如果一开始就讲明了when, where, who, what，即四个w，那么就是记叙文。若首句是提出或解释说明某事物，一般来说是说明文；若首句提出一个论点，那么就是议论文。
2、通读全文，掌握主旨大意
边读边填独立题(包括词类搭配、近义词辨析、语法类)和前提试题，了解全文，把握大意。积极思维，根据初步结论、按照不同文体的写作特点，找准信息词，存储上文信息，以帮助解决下文空格。要注意词与词、句与句之间的各种连接和修饰关系，留心词汇的习惯搭配，尤其是所选择的词在具体语境中的确切含义。
3、寻求搭配，通顺逻辑
固定搭配是完形填空的常考题，如动词与介词的搭配，动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等，因此选择必须根据具体的上下文作出合理的判断。
4、根据词汇意义及用法辨析词义、确定答案
完形填空题虽然淡化对语法的考查，但对语言点的考查依然存在，主要体现在词汇搭配和意义辨析两个方面。弄清它们之间的细微差异有助于提高答题的正确率。如separate/divide, cheap/cheaply, wide/widely, still/quiet/calm/ silent等。要做好这种题目，必须尽量将词语辨析与情节推理和逻辑推理结合起来，从词汇意义入手，抓住情节线索解决问题。
5、结合生活常识及文化背景知识进行逻辑推理
完形填空往往为自身的内容提供完整的语言信息，其间交织渗透各类相关的文化背景知识和生活常识，考查学生灵活运用该方面知识的能力。解决这类题目，考生不仅要有广博的知识，还要能驾驭全文，弄清文章的深层意义。当对语言的把握不是很准确时，可充分利用社会文化知识和生活常识来帮助判断。
6、查漏补缺，反复推敲，调整答案
复读时，要根据文章的中心去判断所选答案是否符合逻辑，是否服务于文章的主题，有无语法或搭配错误。审读过程中，如果遇到不畅之处，必有一点，应从词义和逻辑两方面权衡优劣，从而纠正错误，弥补疏漏。对于仍拿不准的个别选项，应坚持自己的第一感觉。
完形填空的答题策略如下：
一、语境化选择题
1．抓住首句
由于完形填空短文的首句通常不设空，我们可以通过细读首句，推断出全文的主旨，并在主旨的指引下进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。
2．通过上下文语境进行推断
从上下文中寻找提示或暗示，对文章的情节进行合理的推理判断。
3．通过全文内容进行推断
把握全文，可以避免断章取义。
二、固定搭配题
1．查找信息，明确搭配
在固定搭配中，空格前后总会有与所选的词语有密切关联的词或短语，这些词或短语就是解题的突破口。
2．注意动词短语的辨析
常见的考查方式有两种：(1)四个选项的搭配多数是正确的，考生需要借助于上下文语境来进行判断。(2)四个选项中只有一个搭配是正确的，这种情况比较简单。
3．注意介词短语的辨析
介词短语在高考中所占比例虽然比动词短语小，但是也十分活跃。选项的搭配多数都正确，需要借助于上下文语境来做出适当的判断。
三、词语辨析题
1．同义词或近义词的辨析
如：say, speak, tell与talk; watch, see与notice等的区别。这类题主要考查考生在具体语境中对同义词或近义词的辨析和运用能力。
2．相似词语的辨析
选项中所给词的词性相同、拼写形式(至少有两项)相近。
3．常用词汇的辨析
四个备选项的词性相同，但在词义和词形上联系不大。脱离语境或只看句子的一部分，可能会有两个或两个以上的答案。但结合语境进行分析，只有一个正确答案。
4．转换词语的辨析
该类题主要考查考生对上下文逻辑关系(如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系等)的理解能力及考生对转换词的运用能力。对词语辨析题要求越来越高的一个表现是把词语辨析和语法测试、构词法以及日常交际用语结合在一起进行考查。
四、语法知识题
对语法知识进行考查，可能是对语法概念的理解和运用进行考查，也可能是对语法的结构形式进行考查。从近几年的高考试题来看，单一考查语法的题越来越少，而将语法融入到一定的语境中进行考查却成为了一种趋势。
五、文化背景和生活常识题
高考完形填空往往以自身的内容提供相对完整的语篇信息，其间渗透着各类相关的文化背景知识和生活常识，从文化、科学知识到历史、地理知识，从风俗民情到民族习惯等。当对语言的把握不很准确时，考生可充分利用社会文化知识和生活常识来帮助判断。
1．平时广泛涉猎各种知识
考生在平时要多注意相关的文化背景知识，如西方国家的一些历史概况、名人、重大节日，西方人的工作和生活习惯、社交礼仪和习俗等。此外，还要留意与当今社会和学生生活息息相关的话题，如环境保护、交通问题等。再就是要掌握一些简单的与物理、化学有关的科学常识。
2．考试时展开合理推断
在考试时，考生如果能积极调动自己所掌握的文化背景知识和生活常识并巧妙地加以运用，同时注意中西方文化存在的差异，那么将会大大地简化复杂的分析与判断过程，选出正确答案。
【高频考点突破】
考点一词汇复现
1．词汇复现包括：原词、同(近)义词、反义词、同源词、概括词复现等。
2．词汇复现主要是考查考生的整体篇章意识和上下文推断能力。考生只需要在上下文中直接寻找与备选答案相关的词汇，不需要做出推理判断就可以轻松解决问题。这类设题形式分为前文提示和后文暗示两种。
例 “What's it like to have a gap between your teeth？” a girl asked me one day.
Nobody had ever__36__before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth.
36．A.faced B．guessed
C．asked
D．imagined
考点二前后照应
完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇，前后照应题目的设计主要是考查考生的综合分析能力。有时提供的几个选择项孤立地从一个句子看或是从一个段落看似乎都可以，但需要从整篇文章上下文结合起来看，才能选出正确答案。
例Around twenty years ago I was living in York.
__21__
I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree, I could not find
__22__
work.
I was
__23__
a school bus to make ends meet and
__24__
with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had
__25__
five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not __26__
the job. “Why has my life become so
__27__？” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to
__28__
a little girl. she handed me an earring
__29__
I should keep
it
__30__
somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”．
...
My
__39__ there went very well, and before long I got a wellpaid job.
22．A.successful
B．extra
C．satisfying
D．convenient
23．A.driving
B．repairing
C．taking
D．designing
点拨前后照应题目的解题技巧
1．关键要弄清上下文之间的联系。在做出选择时，一定要前后照应，时刻不离开上下文。而且随着对短文的理解的逐步深入，对已做出的选择进行必要的修正。
2．务必要进行复核。确定答案之后带入原文检查，看意义和逻辑关系是否符合，如不符合重新确定答案。
考点三固定搭配
词的固定搭配，特别是动词的搭配是完形填空测试的重点，这是由动词在句子中的重要性决定的。动词在搭配关系上与名词、介词、副词紧密相连，测试的范围较广。除此之外，还考查形容词与介词、介词与名词的固定搭配。
例The concept of solitude (独处) in the digital world is almost nonexistent. In the world of digital technology,
email,
social networking and online video games,
information is meant to be
__36__.Solitude
can be
hard
to
discover
__37__ it
has
been
given
up.In
this respect,
new technologies have
__38__ our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n)
__39__
as we've known it.
39．A.edge
B．stage
C．end
D．balance
点拨固定搭配题目的解题技巧
1．不能利用语法知识进行判断，只有熟悉其意义和用法，才能迅速准确地做出判断。做题时首先要通过上下文理解该句的意义，之后从搭配角度推选答案。
2．完形填空考查的搭配主要是由动词＋介词、动词＋副词、形容词＋介词、介词＋名词等构成，这需要考生在平时的练习中注意词组、短语的整体记忆，掌握它们的搭配规律。
3．有些短语含有多种意义，做题时要根据语境判断使用哪个含义。
考点四词义辨析
在完形填空题各空格所提供的四个选项中，往往存在大量同义词、近义词、反义词、同类词等(也有一部分没有任何关系的词汇掺在其中)，考查具体语境下它们的意义差别。此类题目所占比例最大，难度也较大。
例Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks
__36__ than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more
__37__ than we realize. In fact, nonverbal
communication (非言语交际) takes up about 50% of what we really
__38__.
36．A. straighter
B. louder
C. harder
D. further
37．A. sounds
B. invitations
C. feelings
D. messages
38．A. hope
B. receive
C. discover
D. mean
点拨词义辨析题目的解题技巧
1．必须将词语辨析与上下文情节推理和逻辑推理结合起来，从词汇意义入手，抓住情节线索解决问题。做题时严格区分、细心比较，看其搭配、惯用法，尤其看其内涵和外延，即词义的差异，才能找出一个合乎情理的答案。
2．在日常练习时，可以将完形填空题选项中涉及的词汇整理在一个表格中，添加详细的辨析，并且反复复习。
考点五背景常识
高考英语完形填空的材料都选自原汁原味的英美文章，反映英语国家的历史文化、风土人情、民俗、节日、生活习惯等方面的信息。同时，也有可能涉及人物的社会关系、职位、安全、学习及生活方面的常识。要求考生平时要多了解英语国家的历史文化和风俗习惯等方面的知识，从而培养跨文化交际能力。
例He __44__
himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting __45__ into an unknown world invisible(无形的) to the __46__， which can be discovered only through scientific __47__.
46．A.professor
B．eye
C．knowledge
D．light
点拨背景常识题目的解题技巧
解答此类题时，考生的英语语言知识和有关常识都发挥着重要的作用。当对语言的把握不是很准确时，要转换思维角度，可充分利用社会知识和科普常识来帮助判断，先找出并理解文章主题和主线，并根据主题猜测细节，注意从重复出现的词语中寻找、体会文章表达的氛围，最终确定最佳选项。

【2017·广东卷】完形填空
Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have
feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common
between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over
rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the
. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for
the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different
to these problems. However, some approaches are more
than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but
clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s
. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the
of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to
their actions.
Psychologists say that
is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should
to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may
their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and
each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.

"Look, it's Baldy!" A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though I was used to regular insults(侮辱) because of the
11
on my head, it was
12
horrible to hear. I sighed as I headed back to the class.
When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious
13
after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. I was
14
to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors
15
to save my life. "Holly's very
16
to be alive," they told Mum and Dad. "But she'll be
17
with scars on her head, and of course her hair won't grow there."
As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I
18
wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home.
19
I didn't, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never
20
understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was
21
to a children's burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I
22
14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so
23
that she never lets anyone put her down. "You shouldn't
24
what people say about what you look like because we're not different from anyone else, Holly," she
25
me. "And you don't need to wear a scarf because you look great
26
it!" For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who'd been through something
27
. So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party,
28
by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to
29
away behind my scarf.
Now, I am
30
of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality（个性）that decides who you truly are.
