秘笈 12 完形填空
考点归纳
完形填空是语言知识运用的第一节,共 20 小题,每小题 1.5 分。在一篇约 250 词的短文中留出 20 个空
白,要求考生从每题所给的 4 个选项中选出最佳选项,使补全后的短文意思通顺, 前后连贯, 结构完整。
全国卷对完形填空的考查,近几年来一直以记叙文和夹叙夹议文为主,以说明文和议论文为辅,2019
年全国卷 II 和全国卷Ⅲ的完形填空就选用了记叙文,全国卷 I 采用了说明文。从选材到试题的设置都呈现
出"稳中有变"的特点:
1. 题材相对稳定:文章的选材都是中学生熟悉的话题,能够传递正能量,弘扬社会主义核心价值观,读后
能给考生带来心灵的启迪。且文章大多原汁原味,语言地道,注重思想性和教育性,具有积极的教育意
义,体现出了课程标准中对培养学生的情感、态度和价值观的要求。
2. 文章短小精悍:完形填空的文章长度一般为 250 词左右,结构完整,脉络清晰,难度适中,全文设置 20
个空格,要求考生根据文章的整体内容,从层次结构和上下文的逻辑关系方面选择符合文章情节的选项,
很少涉及纯语法知识试题。nstead B. However C. Gradually D. Similarly
3. 稳定中有变化:近几年高考完形填空在选项的设置上,打破了传统的四个选项类别一致的命题规律。如
2019 年全国卷 III 的第 57 题的四个选项中,有两个以-ly 结尾的副词,另外两个副词为 Instead 和
However;2016 年全国卷Ⅰ的第 52 题的四个选项中设置了三个形容词和一个副词,第 47 题和第 54 题的
四个选项均由两个动词及两个动词词组构成,第 59 题把两个动词及两个介词短语设置为一组选项。此外,
2019 年增加了对介词的考查,考生备考时需要注意。

误区点拨
第一、完型就是语法词汇题
很多同学认为完型填空就是考单词、考语法。如果到目前为止还抱着这样的想法就大错特错了,完形
填空题在现在的高考中已经不再是单纯的语法词汇题了。高考完型考词汇也不是只是记住一两个意思就可
以搞定的。比如以前同学们做完型把四个选项带入原文翻译进行比对,而现在可能会发现带入后四个都可
以说的通。所以现在完型选的是最佳答案,而不是最正确答案。高考完型对于词汇的要求是广度和深度,
比如一些单词的多义考查,例如 subject,company 等等。
第二、完型背会 3500 单词就够了
很多同学会认为高考完型复习好大纲规定的 3500 的单词就够了。这里要清楚一点,高考英语试卷需要
同学处理的信息大概在 3500 词左右,所以其实有一部分单词是不考的。那对于高考单词的复习,可以以真
题为圆心,通过真题记单词。尽量做到对近十年的真题,没有一个单词是生词,没有一个句子是长难句,
知道所有选项对错的原因。
第三、完型先做模拟题,后做真题
很多同学在做题的选择上是有一定的误区的,会认为真题比较少,非常宝贵要留到最后冲刺的时候再
做。不能以模拟题作为备考的起点,这样会输在起跑线,高考做题的第一印象是非常重要的,如果用模拟
题的做题思路到真题中实践,这是给自己设置障碍。所以应该先去做真题,在真题研读 3~5 遍以后,对真
题的命题思路已经非常熟悉的情况下,再去做模拟题,可以放在 5 月以后。尽量对每个单词的准确用法进
行深度理解,而不是仅仅停留在知道单词的基本意思。对于真题中出现过的词组也需要进行整理总结。
锦囊妙计
一、记叙文是一种以记叙为主要表达方式的文体。它主要分为记人、叙事、写景几个方面,包括幽默
故事、名人传记、逸闻趣事等。如果文章交代了 when,where,who,what,how 这五个要素,那么文章就
是记叙文。为了测试考生对语篇的理解能力,命题人会特别注意选材的趣味性。记叙文的结尾往往出人意料,
耐人寻味。
做题时,考生可以从以下几点进行突破。
1.重视首句,把握全篇
叙事性文章往往在第一句就会把事情发生的时间、地点等交代清楚或者对所要叙述的事情的性质、特
征加以描述,这为我们理解文章提供了一个"窗口"。所以考生应充分重视首句的指导作用,利用它找到解
题突破口,应"先完意,再完形",即把握了全篇大意之后,再逐空试填。
2.理清线索,找准方向
记叙文一般按事件发展的时间或空间顺序来叙述,有时用倒叙手法。因此,我们在做题时可以首先抓
住表示时间顺序的词,且要理清人物之间的关系,弄清楚人物各自所做的事情,准确理解文章。
3.利用语境,揣摩心态
考生要借助上下文语境来揣摩作者对文章中各个角色、各个事件的态度。在答题过程中,考生应该通
过字里行间的内容体会主人公的心理活动,弄懂主人公对人物或事件的态度,身临其境,与主人公的思维保
持一致。
二、夹叙夹议完形填空所选的文章一般富于哲理性,往往可以从一件看似平淡的小事中悟出深刻的人
生哲理,因此耐人寻味,可读性较强。
在结构上,作者首先叙述一件事情,然后就此事情引申出一个深刻的社会话题或就此事提出自己的观
点;或者先提出一种观点或看法,然后就这一观点或看法用具体的事例加以说明,最后再进一步阐述或作出
结论。
夹叙夹议文在语言上又具有议论文的特点:语言客观、准确、逻辑性强,且具有概括性。那么,我们
在做夹叙夹议文类的完形填空题时,需要注意哪些方面呢?
1.重视文章首句
夹叙夹议文常常以文章的标题、首句或简短的第一段导入话题,因此,在解答夹叙夹议文类的完形填
空时,考生首先要读懂第一段,尤其是文章的第一句话,这样就可以迅速总结出全文的主旨大意。
2.理清文章结构
夹叙夹议文类的文章通常是先进行叙述,然后在段落的结尾或文章的末尾展开议论,提出故事所包含
的哲理或总结自己的观点。做题时,考生要跟着作者的思路读全文,思维要有灵活性,要随着记叙与议论的
转换,及时调整思维方式。只有理清了文章的结构,才能更容易地理解文章,作出正确的选择。
3.抓住文章线索
理解夹叙夹议类文章要抓住线索,注意情节的变化,以求综观上下文,达到整体理解文意,从而避免
片面性和断章取义。找出叙述、议论部分相关的命题规律与特点,分清论点、论据的习惯表达方式,找准文
章的论点、论据和结论句式,使叙述与议论浑然一体。
三、说明文是用说明的方式介绍人或事物、解释事理的一种文体。说明文体裁的完形填空的最显著的
特点是:
1.开头点题
做说明文体裁的完形填空时,要明确说明的对象是什么,是具体的实物还是理论性概念。因此,明确
说明的对象是掌握说明细节的前提。在近几年的说明文体裁的完形填空题中,作者一般在文章的首句直接点
明要说明的对象。
2.结构清晰
把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明文的写作一般按时间顺序(先后顺序等),空间顺序(从
局部到整体,从上到下,从内到外等),逻辑顺序(前因后果,先果后因,先主后次等),认知顺序(由此及彼,
由浅入深,由具体到抽象,由现象到本质等)。
在做说明文体裁的完形填空时,应当特别留意以下几点:
1.通过短文首尾句抓主旨
通读全文,看它是属于说明事物的说明文还是说明事理的说明文;是单纯说明类的说明文还是说明加
叙述类的说明文。而尾句往往是文章的结论或点睛之笔,由此可知,抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性
的尾句是很必要的。
2.关注段落间的内在联系
由于说明文一般是针对某一个对象从不同的角度和侧面加以说明的,每一段都有侧重点,对这些内容
要进行概括、总结,从而找出段落之间的联系,以便更深刻地理解文章的内容。
3.根据写作手法理解细节
说明文中有些细节就是写作手法的体现,而完形填空往往就是针对这些细节进行考查的。所以,考生
要学会逆向推理,从正确理解写作手法入手来把握细节。
完形填空的解题方法与步骤:
一、整体浏览抓住主题
在做完形填空题前,首先要整体浏览,对全文快速阅读一遍,了解文章的大意,掌握文章的主题,并
留心文中的关键词,了解这篇短文说什么,发生的时间、地点、文章的目的、作者的观点与态度等,这对
于做好完形填空题能起到事半功倍的效果。因此,了解文章的主题和大意就显得十分重要。但是完形填空
题所选短文一般都是没有标题的,那么要掌握文章的主题怎么办。要找到文章的主题,首先要找到文章的
主题句,因为主题句就能反映文章的主题。文章总是围绕一定的主题展开的,而每一个段落则是说明主题
的一个方面,概括了一个段落的中心思想的句子就是主题句。主题句常常出现在段首与段尾,在段首就是
一段文章开头的一两句,在段尾就是文章的最后一句;因此浏览短文时,首先要细读段首与段尾;比较起
来,主题句位于段首的比例更高一些,所以,首段的第一句或最后一句往往是主题句,它就是引领整篇文
章的主旨,是文章的灵魂,因此要抓住不放。作者要支持自己的观点,那么第二段就是作者围绕主题展开
的正文。
二、再读全篇试填答案
许多考生都有这样的经历,做完形填空题时,一看到题目就做,结果自己感到很有把握的答案错了,
问题就是对短文的内容和结构没有完整、清晰的了解和把握。因此读第二遍就显得很有必要,这样就可以
使考生对短文有更好的把握。在读第二遍时,对于一眼就能看出的答案,不必纠缠,马上就填入,对于那
些看看有点像,但没有把握的答案,可以开始试填,待看完第二遍时,再来看看试填的答案,如发现先前
填得不对,这时应该及时更正,这时你就会比较有把握,也比较有信心了。
三、瞻前顾后寻找关联
我们在‘再读全篇,试填答案’一节中所谈的已涉及到"瞻前顾后寻找关联"的某些含义,但侧重"试填";
而我们将在这里侧重谈"瞻前顾后寻找关联"。完形填空题的特点基于整个语篇的理解,不从单句入手,
有时如果从某一个单句来理解,四个选项都可以填入,但从整个语篇来看,答案只有一个。在做题目的时
候,首先要对空格前后句子,然后对该空格相应的选项进行全面分析。根据文章的语义环境,做到"瞻前
顾后,寻找关联",然后作出合理的判断。
四、完形完义立足全局
做完形填空有两个程序:一是完形(选择选项,然后填补空白);二是完义(阅读短文,然后理解短
文)。但是完形必须在完义的基础上进行,也就是说首先要在阅读理解短文的基础上做好完形。完形必须服
从完义,单句必须服从段落,段落必须服从全文,局部必须服从全局。因此,我们在做完形填空题时,不
能读一句做一句,更不能看到就填,这样往往要出差错。先从整体到局部完义,再从局部到整体完形,完
形完义,立足全局。
五、复读全文验证答案
我们做完形填空题以后,首先要把"完形"后的全文再读一遍,看看是否"完义",检查自己对全文
的理解是否准确,情节发展是否合理,全文前后上下是否符合逻辑,验证自己完形的答案是否能使全文贯
通流畅,如果读起来流畅而通顺,说明既完形又完义;反之,则说明我们对文章还没有完全理解,也就是
说虽然"完形"了,但还没有"完义",必须重新推敲已填答案。

误区点拨
第一、完型就是语法词汇题
很多同学认为完型填空就是考单词、考语法。如果到目前为止还抱着这样的想法就大错特错了,完形
填空题在现在的高考中已经不再是单纯的语法词汇题了。高考完型考词汇也不是只是记住一两个意思就可
以搞定的。比如以前同学们做完型把四个选项带入原文翻译进行比对,而现在可能会发现带入后四个都可
以说的通。所以现在完型选的是最佳答案,而不是最正确答案。高考完型对于词汇的要求是广度和深度,
比如一些单词的多义考查,例如 subject,company 等等。
第二、完型背会 3500 单词就够了
很多同学会认为高考完型复习好大纲规定的 3500 的单词就够了。这里要清楚一点,高考英语试卷需要
同学处理的信息大概在 3500 词左右,所以其实有一部分单词是不考的。那对于高考单词的复习,可以以真
题为圆心,通过真题记单词。尽量做到对近十年的真题,没有一个单词是生词,没有一个句子是长难句,
知道所有选项对错的原因。
第三、完型先做模拟题,后做真题
很多同学在做题的选择上是有一定的误区的,会认为真题比较少,非常宝贵要留到最后冲刺的时候再
做。不能以模拟题作为备考的起点,这样会输在起跑线,高考做题的第一印象是非常重要的,如果用模拟
题的做题思路到真题中实践,这是给自己设置障碍。所以应该先去做真题,在真题研读 3~5 遍以后,对真
题的命题思路已经非常熟悉的情况下,再去做模拟题,可以放在 5 月以后。尽量对每个单词的准确用法进
行深度理解,而不是仅仅停留在知道单词的基本意思。对于真题中出现过的词组也需要进行整理总结。
锦囊妙计
一、记叙文是一种以记叙为主要表达方式的文体。它主要分为记人、叙事、写景几个方面,包括幽默
故事、名人传记、逸闻趣事等。如果文章交代了 when,where,who,what,how 这五个要素,那么文章就
是记叙文。为了测试考生对语篇的理解能力,命题人会特别注意选材的趣味性。记叙文的结尾往往出人意料,
耐人寻味。
做题时,考生可以从以下几点进行突破。
1.重视首句,把握全篇
叙事性文章往往在第一句就会把事情发生的时间、地点等交代清楚或者对所要叙述的事情的性质、特
征加以描述,这为我们理解文章提供了一个"窗口"。所以考生应充分重视首句的指导作用,利用它找到解
题突破口,应"先完意,再完形",即把握了全篇大意之后,再逐空试填。
2.理清线索,找准方向
记叙文一般按事件发展的时间或空间顺序来叙述,有时用倒叙手法。因此,我们在做题时可以首先抓
住表示时间顺序的词,且要理清人物之间的关系,弄清楚人物各自所做的事情,准确理解文章。
3.利用语境,揣摩心态
考生要借助上下文语境来揣摩作者对文章中各个角色、各个事件的态度。在答题过程中,考生应该通
过字里行间的内容体会主人公的心理活动,弄懂主人公对人物或事件的态度,身临其境,与主人公的思维保
持一致。
二、夹叙夹议完形填空所选的文章一般富于哲理性,往往可以从一件看似平淡的小事中悟出深刻的人
生哲理,因此耐人寻味,可读性较强。
在结构上,作者首先叙述一件事情,然后就此事情引申出一个深刻的社会话题或就此事提出自己的观
点;或者先提出一种观点或看法,然后就这一观点或看法用具体的事例加以说明,最后再进一步阐述或作出
结论。
夹叙夹议文在语言上又具有议论文的特点:语言客观、准确、逻辑性强,且具有概括性。那么,我们
在做夹叙夹议文类的完形填空题时,需要注意哪些方面呢?
1.重视文章首句
夹叙夹议文常常以文章的标题、首句或简短的第一段导入话题,因此,在解答夹叙夹议文类的完形填
空时,考生首先要读懂第一段,尤其是文章的第一句话,这样就可以迅速总结出全文的主旨大意。
2.理清文章结构
夹叙夹议文类的文章通常是先进行叙述,然后在段落的结尾或文章的末尾展开议论,提出故事所包含
的哲理或总结自己的观点。做题时,考生要跟着作者的思路读全文,思维要有灵活性,要随着记叙与议论的
转换,及时调整思维方式。只有理清了文章的结构,才能更容易地理解文章,作出正确的选择。
3.抓住文章线索
理解夹叙夹议类文章要抓住线索,注意情节的变化,以求综观上下文,达到整体理解文意,从而避免
片面性和断章取义。找出叙述、议论部分相关的命题规律与特点,分清论点、论据的习惯表达方式,找准文
章的论点、论据和结论句式,使叙述与议论浑然一体。
三、说明文是用说明的方式介绍人或事物、解释事理的一种文体。说明文体裁的完形填空的最显著的
特点是:
1.开头点题
做说明文体裁的完形填空时,要明确说明的对象是什么,是具体的实物还是理论性概念。因此,明确
说明的对象是掌握说明细节的前提。在近几年的说明文体裁的完形填空题中,作者一般在文章的首句直接点
明要说明的对象。
2.结构清晰
把握语篇特征对理解文意与答题极为有利。说明文的写作一般按时间顺序(先后顺序等),空间顺序(从
局部到整体,从上到下,从内到外等),逻辑顺序(前因后果,先果后因,先主后次等),认知顺序(由此及彼,
由浅入深,由具体到抽象,由现象到本质等)。
在做说明文体裁的完形填空时,应当特别留意以下几点:
1.通过短文首尾句抓主旨
通读全文,看它是属于说明事物的说明文还是说明事理的说明文;是单纯说明类的说明文还是说明加
叙述类的说明文。而尾句往往是文章的结论或点睛之笔,由此可知,抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性
的尾句是很必要的。
2.关注段落间的内在联系
由于说明文一般是针对某一个对象从不同的角度和侧面加以说明的,每一段都有侧重点,对这些内容
要进行概括、总结,从而找出段落之间的联系,以便更深刻地理解文章的内容。
3.根据写作手法理解细节
说明文中有些细节就是写作手法的体现,而完形填空往往就是针对这些细节进行考查的。所以,考生
要学会逆向推理,从正确理解写作手法入手来把握细节。
完形填空的解题方法与步骤:
一、整体浏览抓住主题
在做完形填空题前,首先要整体浏览,对全文快速阅读一遍,了解文章的大意,掌握文章的主题,并
留心文中的关键词,了解这篇短文说什么,发生的时间、地点、文章的目的、作者的观点与态度等,这对
于做好完形填空题能起到事半功倍的效果。因此,了解文章的主题和大意就显得十分重要。但是完形填空
题所选短文一般都是没有标题的,那么要掌握文章的主题怎么办。要找到文章的主题,首先要找到文章的
主题句,因为主题句就能反映文章的主题。文章总是围绕一定的主题展开的,而每一个段落则是说明主题
的一个方面,概括了一个段落的中心思想的句子就是主题句。主题句常常出现在段首与段尾,在段首就是
一段文章开头的一两句,在段尾就是文章的最后一句;因此浏览短文时,首先要细读段首与段尾;比较起
来,主题句位于段首的比例更高一些,所以,首段的第一句或最后一句往往是主题句,它就是引领整篇文
章的主旨,是文章的灵魂,因此要抓住不放。作者要支持自己的观点,那么第二段就是作者围绕主题展开
的正文。
二、再读全篇试填答案
许多考生都有这样的经历,做完形填空题时,一看到题目就做,结果自己感到很有把握的答案错了,
问题就是对短文的内容和结构没有完整、清晰的了解和把握。因此读第二遍就显得很有必要,这样就可以
使考生对短文有更好的把握。在读第二遍时,对于一眼就能看出的答案,不必纠缠,马上就填入,对于那
些看看有点像,但没有把握的答案,可以开始试填,待看完第二遍时,再来看看试填的答案,如发现先前
填得不对,这时应该及时更正,这时你就会比较有把握,也比较有信心了。
三、瞻前顾后寻找关联
我们在‘再读全篇,试填答案’一节中所谈的已涉及到"瞻前顾后寻找关联"的某些含义,但侧重"试填";
而我们将在这里侧重谈"瞻前顾后寻找关联"。完形填空题的特点基于整个语篇的理解,不从单句入手,
有时如果从某一个单句来理解,四个选项都可以填入,但从整个语篇来看,答案只有一个。在做题目的时
候,首先要对空格前后句子,然后对该空格相应的选项进行全面分析。根据文章的语义环境,做到"瞻前
顾后,寻找关联",然后作出合理的判断。
四、完形完义立足全局
做完形填空有两个程序:一是完形(选择选项,然后填补空白);二是完义(阅读短文,然后理解短
文)。但是完形必须在完义的基础上进行,也就是说首先要在阅读理解短文的基础上做好完形。完形必须服
从完义,单句必须服从段落,段落必须服从全文,局部必须服从全局。因此,我们在做完形填空题时,不
能读一句做一句,更不能看到就填,这样往往要出差错。先从整体到局部完义,再从局部到整体完形,完
形完义,立足全局。
五、复读全文验证答案
我们做完形填空题以后,首先要把"完形"后的全文再读一遍,看看是否"完义",检查自己对全文
的理解是否准确,情节发展是否合理,全文前后上下是否符合逻辑,验证自己完形的答案是否能使全文贯
通流畅,如果读起来流畅而通顺,说明既完形又完义;反之,则说明我们对文章还没有完全理解,也就是
说虽然"完形"了,但还没有"完义",必须重新推敲已填答案。
