完形填空技巧
出题者的初衷: 完形填空考查的是对学生的综合语言运用能力,但是每一个空格的设置并不是随心所欲的,命题人主要通过上下文暗示出的某种信息来保证答案的正确性和唯一性。考生应该通过上下文的暗示获取解题信息,留意暗送的“秋波”,也就是:关键词. 完型填空 之能力训练目标:1.词语辨析能力2.语法结构分析能力3.语篇理解能力4.逻辑推理能力5.文化背景透析能力6.作者意图剖析能力7.生活常识综合运用能力总的原则: “先完意,后完形”。三步曲:通览------试填-----复核
1 通览----速度全文,把握大意 快速阅读一下全文,通过通览全文、领会大意,概略地了解文章的体裁、背景、内容、结构层次、情节、写作风格等等。
2 试填----紧扣文意,瞻前顾后 先易后难,逐层深入。紧扣全文内容,联系上下文和语境,展开逻辑推理,注意从上下文中寻找线索,注意词汇的意义、搭配,惯用法,语法,常识等多个角度进行综合考虑。
3 复核----全面检查,确保语意连贯,用词准确 试填后,要把全文再通读一遍 ,看所选答案填入后能否做到文章意思通顺、前后连贯、逻辑严谨、结构完整、首尾呼应。
