方法篇
“方法得当, 事半功倍。”只有语料的积累,没有好方法的辅助也是不够的。对于完形填空解题方法的梳理,能够帮助我们更好地理解完形填空的命题逻辑,在有足够语料积累的基础上,能够帮助我们争取高分。
亲爱的同学,老师已经为你精心整理了完形填空的解题技巧,快来看看你掌握了多少?
一、完形填空解题步骤
第一步
通读全文,把握脉络
跳过空格,速读全文,把握大意。注意文中的语篇关键词,和句中的连词,如but出现后就说明句子强调的重点是but后面的内容;再如代词it指代的定是前文的单数或者不可数名词。找到关键词可以帮助我们掌握文章的大概意思及其想要传达的寓意。
第二步
瞻前顾后,上下求索
联系上下文,运用解题策略从句子、段落、语篇层面解题,抓住文章中的上下文线索词。【具体的解题策略会在下一部分详细描述】
第三步
再读文章,核查答案
代入答案,再读全文,反复检查,争取做到:
结构正确+语义通顺+逻辑合理。
二、完形填空解题策略
方法
方法一:词汇复现法
解释
“词汇复现”是指某一词汇以原词、词形变化(如protect和protection)、同义词/近义词(如road和trail)、反义词(如wrong和 correct)、上下义词(上下义是指词的总结和分解关系,上义词是总称词,下义词是被包含的个体或种类。如adult是my father的上义词;coat是clothes的下义词)等重复出现在语篇之中。
例题
例1:He is very kind and friendly to others. Because of his ___________, he is quite popular with the people around him.
A. ability B. honesty C. relationship D. kindness
【分析:通过上文“He is very kind and friendly to others”,由“kind”可知因为他的“善良友好”他很受欢迎。故选D。】
例2:The old man tends to forget things from time to time. In other words, he is more and more _________.
A. forgetful B. unforgettable C. easy-going D. hard-working
【分析:通过上文“The old man tends to forget things from time to time”,由“forget”可知他越来越“健忘”。故选A。(forgetful“健忘的”,unforgettable“难忘的”。)】
方法
方法二:上下文推理法
解释
“上下文推理法”是指根据对上下文的语义和整个语篇的理解,进行适当的推理判断,因此需重点注意挖空处的上下文语境,判断清楚所要表达的含义。
例题
例:When we talked, I discovered(发现)some differences in school life between the US and China. For example, each class lasts fifty minutes in the US. It is a little __17__ than that in China. We usually have forty minutes in each class.
17. A. shorter B. longer C. earlier D. later
12
【分析:通过上文“each class lasts fifty minutes in the US”和下文“We usually have forty minutes in each class.”可知美国每节课是50分钟,中国每节课是40分钟,根据上下文可以推断出美国的课时比中国的长,故选B。】
方法
方法三:逻辑推理法
解释
“逻辑推理法”是根据文章的逻辑关系(如因果、并列、让步、转折、时间顺序、目的、条件、选择等)进行适当的推理判断,因此需特别注意挖空处表示逻辑关系的连词(如and表并列,but和however表转折,so表因果,first of all、then和finally表顺序等)。
例题
例1:My youngest cousin likes Chinese Beijing Opera very much, but he can’t sing 6 .
6. A. badly B. easily C. well D. excitedly
【分析:通过上文“My youngest cousin likes Chinese Beijing Opera”和连词“but”,可以推断出前后存在转折关系,此处想要表达的含义是“喜欢但唱得不好”,故选C。】
方法
方法四:文化背景常识法
解释
“文化背景常识法”是指完形填空的文章内容往往与我们的文化生活、史地知识、生活科技等相关,有些内容是我们已经掌握的生活常识,答题时要充分调动相关知识帮助我们分析、推断。事实上,该技巧与“逻辑推断”常常交织在一起的,因为虽有背景常识,仍需简单推理。需注意中外文化的差异性,不能总是用中国人看问题的角度来看待其它国家发生的事情。
例题
例:There are many kinds of animals in the world. Elephants are the 1 animals that live on land. Only some kinds of whales (鲸鱼) are bigger than elephants, but they live in the 2 .
1. A. biggest B. smallest C. smaller D. bigger
2. A. river B. lake C. sea D. forest
【分析:第1题,众所周知:大象是陆地上最大的动物,故选A. biggest。
第2题,众所周知:鲸鱼生活在大海里,故选C. sea。】
方法
方法五:固定搭配法
解释
完形填空以语境考查为主,但也有小部分题目考查语法知识、固定搭配和固定句型,解题过程中我们需要结合所学固定搭配选出正确答案。
例题
例1:When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention 13 what he or she is speaking …
13. A. for B. of C. with D. to
【分析:考查固定短语“pay attention to注意”,故选D。】
例2:…but we were relaxed when we were lying on the beach. We 10 some photos there.
10. A. got B. brought C. bought D. took
【分析:考查固定短语“take photos拍照”,故选D。】

(东城一模)An Imperfect Painting
My parents always wanted me to be “on top”, so from early on I had the 31 to be the best in everything, from getting the highest score on a spelling test to running fastest in a race.
In middle school, I realized how many other smarter and faster people there were. It became 32 that I was not the best any more, but my parents still held on to their hope and forced me to try hard. To their disappointment, I became less confident and didn’t want to work hard because, to me, there was no point in making any more 33 if I was unable to be number one. My grades began to fall; I never practiced the piano; I 34 painting. It was all because my motivation(动力) to do anything had dropped much.
When high school started, I was at a new school in a new city. I 35 to get back my motivation and start over. So I picked up my ever favorite hobby again and enrolled(报名) myself in the art course. 36 , our art teacher, Mr. Grady, gave us more freedom with our art projects. He would always encourage us to realize our potential(潜力).
12
My first painting was simply a bee sitting on a sunflower. I made every effort, but still found it hard to feel satisfied with it. I knew it was not 37 and could hardly get a good grade. But I showed it to Mr. Grady. He didn’t 38 it in a rush. Instead, he gave me advice which only motivated me to work harder on it. For the first time I was happy with the 39 of my painting rather than disappointed about its imperfection. I finished all the other projects with higher grades, but I hung the first painting in my room at the end of the term.
My parents thought 40 me to be number one would motivate me. Instead, it discouraged me much when I was not number one, for I had gone to school only to get a grade, not knowledge, let alone progress. Actually, it is okay not to be the best at everything as long as you continue to try your best.
31. A. ability B. chance C. goal D. way
