1、高考英语完形填空解题思路与训练一、高考英语完形填空命题与解题思路完形填空题是高考英语卷中的重要题型，不仅侧重于考查学生的逻辑思维能力和对具体语境把握能力，更是对学生整体语篇意义理解的连贯性和运用语言的准确性考查。它属于有一定难度的障碍性阅读理解题，是学生感到最难把握的题型之一。分析近几年高考题，完形填空所选短文的体裁多为记叙文、说明文和议论文。写人或记事，兼有个别议论的句子。趣味性强并兼有教育意义。一般为400单词左右的一篇短文，其内容逻辑性强，文章结构严谨，层次分明。文章首句不设空，但交待相关的背景材料，可挖掘的信息点很多，对整篇文章的理解起着至关重要的作用。近几年试题中尤为注重说明文和议论
2、文。说明文命题趋势：说明型完形填空选材难度一般低于试卷中的阅读理解大题。在设空与选项设计方面充分体现了语言知识运用题的要求：以实词为主（名、动、形、副），绝大多数小题都要从全文角度进行判断。这一命题思路体现了“语篇意识”。议论文命题趋势：议论文是一种通过剖析事物，论述事理，提出主张，发表见解的文体。议论型完形填空分为两种，一种是夹叙夹议型完形填空；另一种是纯议论型完形填空。第一种的基本模式是：叙述事件，提出感悟，作出结论。第二种的基本模式是：提出论点，列举论据，提出看法。 那么如何做好完形填空呢？ 解题思路一：通读全文，了解大意，先易后难。通常在答题之前, 要花12分钟把文章略读一遍,以便对文
3、章有个大概的了解。在详读的过程中，可以边读边选择一些容易的选项, 对个别不理解的单词、短语,可以先不管它们。等读完文章后, 大部分的空格已填完, 全文的意思基本已掌握, 剩下的难题也就比较容易解决了。解题思路二：依据首句线索，紧扣主题选择。首句通常是文章的主题句，通常不设空，便于考生对短文主题、内容或背景有个大概了解。它的目的是向考生提供时间、地点、人物、事件、论点等有用的信息。把握了主题句, 对于理解全文和解题很有帮助。 例： On a hot summer day in last August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront
4、 caf on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in _ air. A. fresh B. cool C. still D. thin 解析: C。 故事发生在一个炎热的夏天, 温度高, 自然没风。 still 在此处为形容词, 意思是“静止的, 不动的”, 即没风。解题思路三：瞻前顾后, 谨慎选择。 有些选择项根据上下句就能比较容易地做出正确判断, 有些则必须根据整篇文章的大意才能推出。通过上下文, 寻找隐含的各种信息和紧抓语境暗示是解答完形填空题的主要手段和策略。 例： The man stepped _1_ for the two chair
5、s. He politely _2_ his lady in the knee - deep water and then sat down himself. 1. A. outside B. forward C. down D. back 2. A. led B. seated C. watched D. received解析： 1. D。根据上下文, 不难看出, 那两口子搬完桌子后, 又回来搬椅子, 即: step back for sth. 2. B。 本空后有宾语 his lady , 根据后半句 “and then sat down himself”, 答案应为 seated his
6、 lady “让他夫人就坐”。解题思路四：借助语法知识, 选择正确的答案。 例1：When Ed first phoned and _ we play, I laughed quietly A. declared B. mentioned C. persuaded D. suggested 解析：D。 根据学过的语法知识,我们知道主句的谓语动词表示建议的意思时, 宾语从句的谓语要用虚拟语气,即用“( should )+ 动词原形”。题干句中“play”的形式是关键信息。例2：Finally Peter decided to go to the USA and，as his father had
7、 told him，_ to be a doctor.A. studiesB. studyingC. studyD. studied解析：C。分析句子结构可知，空白处与前面的动词go为并列动词不定式，均作谓语decided的宾语，故选C。此题若忽略分析句子结构，很容易误选D。此题的难点在于句中有一个插入性质的as引导的从句，将两个不定式分隔开了。从而造成辨认第二个动词不定式的困难。解题思路五：利用生活常识，文化背景。 例：One day, the girl _1_ into the plane, started it and soon left the _2_. 1. A. climbed B
8、. looked C. reached D. fell 2. A. house B. floor C. water D. ground 解析：1. A。2. D。根据生活常识，这女孩应是先爬进机舱，才能起动飞机，最后使飞机飞离地面。解题思路六：采取排除法。 解答完形填空题的过程中，有时我们会遇到这样的情况：对某一题的正确选项的含义、用法不甚明白，但发现其他选项有显而易见的谬误。这时我们可以尝试排除法, 剔除错误的选项。随着选择范围的缩小, 选中正确选项的机会就会增大。例：However, the typical teenage lifestyle is already filled with
9、so much competition that it would be _1_ to plan activities in which there are more winners than losers, _2_, publishing newsletters with many student-written book reviews, _3_ student artwork, and sponsoring book discussion clubs. 3. A. displaying B. describing C. creating D. exchanging解析：A。第3题的解题步
10、骤为：首先从动宾搭配上看，C选项（创造学生艺术品）可以排除，再从该句的上文看。上文说应该设计竞争性小的活动，所以答案应该是“展示学生艺术作品”。解题思路七: 找寻固定词组、常用句型或习惯用法。 例1：A waiter appeared. He paused for just a second , walked into the water to _ the table and A. set B. wash C. remove D. check 解析：A。set the table 在饭桌上摆好刀叉等餐具准备开饭。这是一种固定说法。例2. With it, astronauts will acq
11、uire a workhouse vehicle _ of flying into space and returning many times. A. capable B. suitable C. efficient D. fit解析：A。be capable of是习惯搭配，意为“能够”。建议： 1）注意词语的搭配：动词的搭配(do 和make的搭配能力较强，要记牢、记熟)。 do(a job, work, shopping, cooking, reading, typing, sewing, good, wrong, damage, harm, a favor, an injury, e
12、tc.) make(a study, an appointment, arrangements, a breakthrough, a call, a comparison, contribution, a deal, a decision, a discovery, distinction, a guess, preparations, a start, a start, a survey, an attempt, an error, a profit, a fortune, a living, ones way, sense, point, peace, bed, coffee, a fus
13、s, etc.) 2）形容词与名词的搭配有的具有一定的文化背景，学生要注意“貌合神离”的词语。如： lucky dog 幸运儿、 right hand得力助手、 narrow escape死里逃生、 dark horse出人意料的获胜者 3）有些形容词可以加一个形容词修饰，表示强调，使表达更加生动。如：pitch dark（漆黑的）、brand new （崭新的）、crystal clear（水晶般的）、wide open（张得大大的）、fast asleep（睡得很熟的）、wide awake（完全醒着的）、icy cold（冰冷的）, etc. 4）有些形容词可以和不同的介词搭配，学生应注
14、意比较、归纳。如：sick for 渴望、tired from因而疲劳、engaged in 忙于、 sick of 厌倦、tired of 对厌倦、engaged to 与某人订婚。 解题思路八: 利用原词复现或同现, 选择最佳选项。1在完形填空中, 某一词语通常重复出现, 使得语篇中的句子相互衔接和连贯, 从而构成一个完整的意义整体。例1: First of all he was a window-cleaner and in his first week he managed to _ six windows. A. rub B. drop C. break D. clean 解析：D。
15、同源词复现，由window-cleaner可知为clean the window。 2同现指意义上相互联系的单词同时出现在同一语篇中。一个语篇，一个话题，要求有与之相连的词汇。 1）名词同现：与一个话题或一个名词出现在同一个语境的另一个名词。如： school-primary schoolmiddle schoolcollegeuniversity studentspupilsgraduatespostgraduates 2）动词同现：与一个话题或一个名词出现在同一个语境的另一个动词。如： schoolteachlearnattendfounddrop outgraduatebe dismis
16、sed 3)形容词同现; 就某一语境而言所能出现的形容词也是有规律的。如：在学校这个语境中：（key）school（optional）course（compulsory）course 4) 结构同现: 结构同现批搭配之类的句型和成对出现的短语。如： some,others; on one hand,on the other hand; former,latter; sothat; not onlybut also; hardly/scarcelywhen; no soonerthan; be about to do /be doing /had done /be on the point of
17、 doing/be to do/be ready to do/be on the way when; 例2: I put my head in, expecting the worst. But to my surprise, the room wasnt empty at all. It had furniture, curtains, a TV, and even paintings on the wall. And then on the well-made bed sat Amy, my new _, dressed neatly. A. roommate B. classmate C
18、. neighbor D. companion 解析：A。名词同现，从room, furniture,等同现信息可知。 例3:We were _ to go back for class again when the headmaster called us togetherand said, A. about B. able C. sorry D. sure 解析：A。结构同现，be about to do when 。 解题思路九：顺应文意,定位选词。 做题时, 要充分利用上下文, 找到有提示作用的词。这些词可以是同义词、近义词或反义词, 也可以是并列连词或转折连词等等。例1: After
19、 you have learned to think of several words in English，then move on to the next stepthinking in _.A. sentencesB. passagesC.1essonsD. classes解析：A。需注意上下文逻辑推理以及名词的含义。第一步是考虑单词，接下来应该是考虑句子。故选A。例2: Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very _. A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangero
20、us解析：A。根据转折连词but的提示，所填入的词应与shallow相反，因此答案为A。例3: Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened _1_. As was discussed before, it was not _2_ the 19th century that the newspaper became
21、 the dominant pre-electronic _3_.1. A. between B. before C. since D. later2. A. after B. by C. during D. until3. A. means B. method C. medium D. measure解析：1. A. 2. D. 3. C。我们注意到文章讲了两个时间：20世纪和15、16世纪，而19世纪显然是处在两者之间，故第1题填between。第2题是一语法结构题，固定结构：It was not until-that-。第3题属于前面介绍的信息词题。上文中出现的：television,
22、printing, newspaper均说明该题应填medium。解题思路十：仔细推敲, 注重逻辑。做完完形填空题后,要根据所选答案迅速地把文章完整地读一遍, 看语法、惯用法对不对;看是否符合上下文的逻辑; 看是否符合故事情节的发展,以便更正可能的错误选择。 一个完整的语篇应该是符合逻辑的，文章逻辑关系的取得主要靠过渡词的使用。作者利用转承语保证文章的逻辑，学生在做完形填空时应通过自己对上下文的理解，找到适当的逻辑关系，然后选择正确的过渡词。学生必掌握常见的过渡词： 1. 递进 in addition, furthermore, again, also, besides, moreover,
23、whats more, whats worse, to make matters worse , to make things worse , worse still 2.比较 in the same way, as with, similarly, equally, in comparison, just as 3.对照 in contrast, on the other hand, instead, however, nevertheless, unlike, on the contrary, while 4.因果 because, because of, for, since, due
24、to, owing to, thanks to, as a result (of), so, thus 5.强调 certainly, above all, indeed, of course, surely, actually, as a matter of fact, especially，in particular, absolutely, 6.让步 although, though, after all, in spite of 7.举例 for example, for instance, that is, namely, such as, in other words, in th
25、is case, by way of illustration. 8. 时间和空间 afterward, after, first, later, then, soon, finally, at last outside, near, beyond, above, below, on the right(left), in the middle, opposite, in front of 9. 总结 to sum up, to conclude, in a word, in short, in brief, all in all, in all, in summary 例1: It has
26、been many years since I was last in London _ I still remember something that happened during that visit.A. and B. for C. but D. as解析：C。根据句前的many years和句后的still remember，答案应选表示转折的连词but。例2: Getting enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for excess vitamins. Many
27、 people _ believe in being on the safe side and thus take extra vitamins. A. nevertheless B. therefore C. moreover D. meanwhile解析：A。从句意可知，尽管服用额外的维生素是没用的，但很多人还是会服用。Nevertheless的意思是“尽管如此，然而”，符合句意。练习：1A Welcome GiftDario and his mother loved their new apartment.
