词语同现、词语复现和逻辑推理是解答完形填空的三大策略,领会和掌握这三大策略对提高完形填空的解题速度和准确率都大有裨益。
1、词语同现
词语同现是指意义上相关的词汇出现在同一语篇上,构成了以某一话题为中心的词汇链,也有人称之为语义场。
解答完形填空的三大策略 2、词语复现
词语复现指某一个词以原词、同根词、同义词、反义词(如wrong, not correct )、上义词、下义词等方式重复出现在语篇中,语篇中的句子正通过这种复现关系以达到相互衔接。 3、逻辑推理
在做完形填空时许多考生都会有这样的经历,即使他们对选项当中的每个词的意思都非常清楚,但得分不高。因为完形填空考查的是一种综合能力,不但是对词汇的考查,而且对句子间和上下文之间逻辑关系的推断也是完形填空考查的重点。其中逻辑关系主要包括因果关系、转折关系、对比关系、并列关系等。
