高考英语之完形填空全攻略
通过认真研读2016-2018年全国新课标卷的完形填空部分,笔者发现命题者主要考查两个方面,即词语辨析(形容词辨析、名词辨析、动词或动词短语辨析、副词辨析、连词辨析、代词辨析、介词短语辨析)和词义辨析,在下面的篇幅中,笔者会针对这2个考点逐一进行深入分析,帮助广大考生更好地理解和掌握此类题型。
(一) 词语辨析
解题策略一:
词语辨析题较多考查的是考生对题干的理解以及对词语辨析的把握。对所给选项中词语较为简单的题,对于题干的理解至关重要,对所给选项中词语较为复杂的题,不仅仅要理解题干,还要对选项中的词义有较好的把握,这就要求考生具有一定的词汇量,所以要求考生熟记最新普通高等学校招生全国统一考试大纲所列出的所有词汇。

play chess is how to make good decisions.
56. A. fact B. step C. manner D. skill
(2017全国卷二)
I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his A from high school and remained the same caring person I met forty years before .
52. A. graduation B. retirement C. separation D. resignation
解题策略二:
有些词语辨析题要求考生在理解题目意思的基础上,还必须知道词汇的用法和搭配,这就对考生的词汇学习提出了较高的要求。因此,仅仅词语背诵是不够的,还要记忆词汇的用法、搭配和辨析等,放在短语或句子中记忆效果会更好。同义词、同类词放在一起记忆是学习词汇的一种好方法。

I took off my T-shirt and C into the water. I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying across the middle.
49. A. stared B. sank C. dived D. fell
解题策略三:
英语中的词汇大多数都不只有一个词义,因此,在学习和记忆词汇的时候,要尽可能多地记忆词汇的不同含义,尤其是考纲要求的名词、动词、形容词和副词。

Larry works with Transport Drivers. Inc. One morning in 2009, Larry was __C___ along 165 north after delivering to one of his customers.
41. A. walking B. touring C.traveling D.rushing
解题策略四:
在一些题干中,命题者会设置题眼,这些作为题眼的词或是答案的反义词、或是答案的同义词、或是答案的相关词,因此,在做此类词汇辨析题的时候,要善于瞻前顾后,找到代表题眼的关键词,然后从所给的四个选项中,找到跟题眼照应的选项,答案就迎刃而解了。

Lindsey’s husband was totally C by the unexpected visit. "I don’t think we would have randomly invited him over but we appreciate it and the gifts."
54. A.discouraged B. relaxed C.astonished D. defeated
(二)词义辨析
词义辨析考查的面广, 考生在学习时首先应掌握其基本意思,再结合特定的语境进行比较。英语中的同义词,易混词及相似句型之间的区别,有的属英汉语意差别,有的属不同搭配表达意义不同,有的属搭配不同表达意义相同,有的属语气轻重有别,有的则属搭配范围和习惯不同等等。广大考生要想更好地解答此类试题,应在平时的英语学习中多注意积累形态和语义极为相似的单词和词组,以便更好地解答此类试题。
