2023年高考英语完形填空精讲精练 ——利用首句信息进行判断
技法指导
完形填空一般无标题，首句一般不设空，往往是全文的关键句，或者称为主导句，通常起着开启、概括或贯穿全文的作用。完形填空的语篇以记叙文、夹叙夹议文为主。记叙文首句往往介绍事件发生的时间、地点、人物或起因等细节信息，说明文和议论文般通过文章首句点明全文的主题。 仔细分析文章的首句，往往维获取许多解题信息，从而节省考生的做题时间。
1.利用首句可以帮助我们判断文章的体裁，捕捉文章的要素，预测文章的发展。
若首句交代了when, where, who, what，即四个W，那么就是记叙文，很可能就是一个故事，为了测试语篇的理解能力，出题者特别注意选材的趣味性，其结尾往往出人意料，耐人寻味;若首句是提出或解释说明某事物，一般来说是说明文;若首句提出一个论点，那么就是议论文。
