1、完型填空之完型填空之议论文精讲议论文精讲 技法指导技法指导 1. 议论文文体的完形填空一般是直接提出论点，通过论据论证，最后作者提出自己的 看法或提出另一个话题供大家讨论。 2. 议论文文体的完形填空一般都是由论点（作者的观点，也就是被证明的对象） 、论据 （用来证明论点的依据，是说明论点的理由和材料）和论证（运用论据证明论点的过程与方 法）这三个要素构成，这也是一个提出问题分析问题解决问题的过程。 3.另外， 英语议论文不仅需要说明自己的观点， 而且还要让读者接受自己的观点。 因此， 在词语表达上除了客观之外，还比较注重委婉。作者的写作态度一般也较诚恳，在文章中通 常使用的是与读者平等交流的
2、语气，不会给人以居高临下、以势居人、逼人接受的感觉，在 遣词造句方面多使用虚拟语气、 让步状语从句和 can, may, might, could, would, should 等情态 动词。为了辩证推理的条理性和逻辑性，往往较多地使用像 since, now that, therefore, in that case, because, so, but, however 等过渡词和连接词。 典例典例 1. 把握首段和首句完整的信息，把握全文的主旨大意把握首段和首句完整的信息，把握全文的主旨大意 All of us go through some difficult times as we a
