完形填空解题技法之一——通过首句或首段把握全篇
首句往往是整篇文章的引领句,概括了整篇文章的中心和作者的写作意图。细读首句可以判断文章体裁,预测文章大意和主旨。完形填空的命题原则一般是文章第一句不设空,以使考生快速进入语境,并通过这一“窗口”,把握整篇文章。一般来说,记叙文类的文章的首句会交代4个W(when,where,who,what),说明文类的文章的首句会解释要说明的对象,议论文类的文章的首句会提出一个论点。

通过阅读首句“I used to be a very self centered person,but in the past two years I have really changed”.可知,本文是一篇记叙文,作者以前是一个以自我为中心的人,但是在过去两年,作者确实变化很大。本文是围绕这一主题展开的,所以准确理解首句对于考生选出正确答案有很大帮助。
总之,整篇文章都是围绕着首句中的“I have really changed”来展开和设题的。考生只要牢牢把握住了首句,选出答案就容易多了。
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文中作者叙述了自己的变化。开始作者是一个以自我为中心的人,结果她成了孤家寡人。她试着跟同学交流,为他们提供帮助,后来交了一些朋友,其中有两个直到现在还是她最好的朋友。而她态度发生变化的一个较大原因是她跟一位老太太成了朋友。老太太把她当成了自己的女儿,作者与其建立了深厚的友谊。通过这些经历,作者感觉自己比以前好多了,她更喜欢现在的自己。
36.解析:选B。联系第一句中的I have really changed以及下文的例子可知作者是先为别人考虑,再考虑自己。即在为自己考虑前,先考虑的是别人,故用before。
37.解析:选C。联系第一句中的I have really changed 以及下文作者由独自一人到交了朋友,由以自我为中心,到变成了一个帮助别人的人,可知作者发生了很大变化,因此可知作者很高兴自己变成了一个和以前不一样的人,故用different。famous“著名的;出名的”,simple“简单的;朴素的”,skilled“有技能的;熟练的”,均与语境不符。
38.解析:选D。联系第一句中的changed以及下文所描述的作者发生的变化,可知作者的“变化”开始于上大学时。
39.解析:选C。因为作者是在大学里,她想得到的当然是学位。balance“平衡”,homework“家庭作业”,interest“兴趣,爱好”,均与语境不符。
40.解析:选A。联系39空后的be left alone,以及41空后的“除了我似乎别人都交了朋友,都过得很愉快”,可知作者独自一人,几乎不跟别人“说话”。
41.解析:选B。联系此空后的“除了我,似乎别人都交了朋友,都过得很愉快”,可知作者确实很孤独,没有人与她交往。careful“仔细的;细心的”,curious“好奇的”,guilty“内疚的;有罪的”,均与语境不符。
42.解析:选C。联系空后的“我”开始问周围的人过得怎么样,问他们是否需要帮助,可知作者在试着与别人交流。experiment 在本句中意为“尝试”。argument“争论;辩论”,game“游戏”,defence“防御;护卫”,均与语境不符。
43.解析:选B。联系空格前的trouble以及空格后的help,可知作者问别人是否有麻烦,然后“主动提供”帮助。
44.解析:选D。联系以前作者不与人说话,宁愿独处,现在开始主动与别人交流并想提供帮助,可知这样做对作者来说已经是迈出了一大“步”。
45.解析:选C。联系空格前的several new friends可知作者的两个最好的朋友就在“several new friends”之中,空格处为避免重复,用代词them“他们”代替“several new friends”。
46.解析:选A。联系上文的描述,作者主动与人沟通,主动帮助别人,这些显示的都是作者对人、对事的“态度”发生了变化,故此空用attitude。
47.解析:选A。联系下文的she thought I was her daughter 可知老太太把作者当成了自己的女儿,可推测作者与这位老太太成了“朋友”。partner “伙伴”,guide“向导”,guest“客人”,均与语境不符。
48.解析:选B。联系空格后老太太认为作者是自己的女儿,可知见到作者就很“高兴”。
49.解析:选C。联系空格后的“I took her place”可知老太太的亲生女儿从没来“看过”她,visit“拜访”符合语境。
50.解析:选D。联系空格后作者的感受“使别人感觉好也就是使自己感觉好”可知这是作者通过这次经历“明白”的一个道理,故用see。本题考查的是熟词新义,see在句中意为“明白”。其他三个选项,explain“解释”,guess “猜”,declare“宣布”,均与语境不符。
51.解析:选B。老太太去世,作者肯定会感到很伤心,故选heartbroken“心碎的”。其他三个选项,homeless“无家可归的”,bad tempered“坏脾气的”,hopeless“无望的”,均与语境不符。
52.解析:选C。联系作者在上文的描述,自己交了朋友,也帮助别人,可知作者感觉自己比以前“好”多了。
53.解析:选A。作者希望自己不会“忘记”这些经历。其余选项,face“面对”,improve“提高”,analyze“对……进行分析”,均与语境不符。
54.解析:选D。这些经历“教会”了作者要更多地关心别人,而不是自己。force“强迫”,prefer“偏爱”,order“命令”,均与语境不符。
55.解析:选B。联系第一段中的“I am happy that I am becoming a __37__ person.”可知作者很“喜欢”现在的自己。miss “思念;错过”,wonder“困惑;想知道”,expect“期待;预计”,均与语境不符。
完形填空解题技法之二——把握人物情感和态度
近几年的完形填空愈来愈注重对作者或者文章人物的情感态度方面的考查,因此,考生在阅读文章时要注意把握人物的情感和态度,以便顺利解题。
四步法理解作者意图或态度
1.完形填空的短文是一个完整的语篇,考生必须结合上下文语境综合考虑。
2.考生要重视首句信息的提示作用,因为它是解题的突破口,同时也或多或少地暗示了作者的写作意图。
3.考生要抓住描述作者思想情感的词,通常为形容词或副词。
4.疏通全文。考生应在理解大意和把握细节的基础上揣摩作者的写作意图,通过作者的语气和用词来把握作者的情感和态度,切忌主观臆断。

判断人物情感态度的关键是抓住连接词表达的逻辑意义,如22题and并列连词,还要注意描述父亲情感的其它词汇如:optimistic;grateful;loving and selfless nature等,这些词都与作者的父亲的情绪有关。
【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章以第一人称的方式进行记叙和议论,主要讲述了在作者和父亲为杂货店所接甜玉米订单配货的过程中,作者中途想放弃,但是父亲鼓励她要坚持下去。文中还讲述父亲在遇到困难时,总是以积极、乐观的态度面对生活,这让作者受益终生。
16.解析:选C。根据上文“their calluses (老茧) and roughness”和20空后的“After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field...”可以判断出作者的父亲是一个农民。teacher老师;gardener花匠,园艺师;farmer农民;grocer食品杂货店店主/店员。所以C项符合句意。
17.解析:选D。根据上文“a drought (旱灾) hit Ontario,turning...”和17空后的“On one of those hot mornings...”可以推断出干旱将安大略变成了一个滚烫的沙漠。stormy暴风雨的;lively活泼的,生动的;disappearing消失的;burning燃烧的,滚烫的。所以D项符合句意。
18.解析:选A。根据此句中fill the last__18__from the grocery store(杂货店)和22空后的“If the store wants its last twenty dozen...”可以推断出空格处填“订单”。order订购,订单,订货,fill the last order为最后一个订单配货;form表格,形式,形状;形态;gap间隙,缺口,空白;position位置,职位。所以A项符合句意。
19.解析:选B。根据下文“That morning,however,the process didn’t__20__quickly.After forty minutes of...”可以推断出这一过程(花费了40分钟)正常情况下只需20分钟。repeatedly反复地,再三地;normally正常地,通常地;finally最后,终于;really实际上,事实上。所以B项符合句意。
20.解析:选A。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意:然而,那个早上,过程________不快。go进行,进展;begin开始;occur发生;change变化;零钱。所以A项符合句意。
21.解析:选B。根据上文“Fifty dozen was all we needed”和下文“If the store wants its last twenty dozen,they can pick it themselves!”可以推断21空所在句的句意为“漫无目的地在田地里走了40分钟后,我们仍需要摘20打”。yet然而,可是;still仍然,还;even甚至;nearly几乎,差不多。所以B项符合句意。
22.解析:选C。根据关键词frustrated和下文“Dropping the basket heavily...”可以推断出作者生气了。surprised感到吃惊的;nervous紧张的;angry生气的;frightened感到害怕的。所以C项符合句意。
23.解析:选D。根据下文“whatever problem he__25__,he never gives up”可以推断出作者的父亲对待生活的态度是非常积极、乐观的,故此处选D项,laugh“笑”。apologize道歉;cry哭,哭泣;complain抱怨,均与语境不符。
24.解析:选B。空格处所在句的句意为“……我们每个人就只剩下10打了,然后我们就完成了”。lost迷路的;done已完成的;gone过去的,用完了的;touched感动的。所以B项符合句意。
25.解析:选A。meet with碰到,遇见;bring up养育,提出,谈到,呕吐;work out计算出,弄明白;think about考虑,思考。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意为“这就是父亲——无论遇到什么问题,他从不放弃”。所以A项符合句意。
26.解析:选C。根据下文the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our country“干旱所带来的灾难性影响席卷全国”可以推断出本空填的词应意为“不幸的是”。thankfully高兴地,感激地;hopefully有希望地,有前途地;unfortunately不幸的是;strangely奇怪的是。所以C项与语境相符。
27.解析:选D。根据上文“It was a challenging time for everyone...”和下文的关键词optimistic可以推断出前后两句具有转折关系。or或者,否则;for为了;so因此;but但是。所以D项符合题目要求的转折关系。
28.解析:选C。happen to...碰巧/恰巧……;seem to...好像/似乎……;continue to...继续……;aim to...打算……。上文提到干旱所带来的灾难性影响席卷全国,但父亲仍然保持着乐观的态度。所以可推测本空所在句的意思是“他一如既往地感激其他事情,如健康的身体和我们盘中的食物”。故C项符合句意。
29.解析:选B。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意为“直到那时我才真正地开始欣赏父亲以及父亲引导我们渡过困难时期的信念”。face面对;appreciate欣赏,感激;examine检查,测验;question质疑,问问题。所以B项符合句意。
30.解析:选A。根据下文“His loving and selfless nature has inspired...”可以推断出父亲也是一个能够付出真爱的活生生的例子。love爱;pride自豪,骄傲;friendship友谊;honesty诚实。所以A项符合句意。
31.解析:选A。support支持,维持,供养,资助;settle定居,安定;start开始;impress给……留下印象。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意为“他从早到晚工作了无数个小时是为了养活我们一家人”。所以A项符合句意。
32.解析:选B。根据下文“His loving and selfless nature...putting others first.”可以推断出父亲总是把别人放在第一位,也就是说总是把我们的幸福放在他自己的幸福的前面。after在……之后;before在……之前;beside在……旁边;under在……下面。所以B项符合语境。
33.解析:选A。in spite of尽管;in terms of在……方面,依据,按照;in control of控制,管理,掌握;in place of代替,取代。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意为“他总是把我们的幸福放在他自己幸福的前面,即使……精疲力竭,父亲也从未忘记在体育比赛中为我加油鼓劲”。所以A项符合句意。
34.解析:选C。根据下文“putting others first”可以推断出“父亲是具有同情心的、体贴他人的”。careful仔细的,细心的;regretful遗憾的,后悔的;considerate考虑周到的,体贴的;humorous幽默的。所以C项considerate符合语境。
35.解析:选D。根据下文“You are my father,teacher,friend and,most importantly,my hero.”可以推断出空格处是指从父亲那里学到的关于生活的经验与教训。history历史;motto座右铭;pattern模式;lesson教训,经验,课。所以D项符合语境。
完形填空解题技法之三——利用生活常识和语法知识判断
具备一定的生活常识,了解一定的文化背景,掌握一定的语法知识,对解答完形填空题很有帮助。
1.生活常识类
社会是一所大学,除了认真学习书本知识外,考生还要积极体验生活,积累生活经验与常识,在做完形填空题时利用生活知识解题。
2.语法知识类
在完形填空题中,语法的考查难点是复合从句中从属连词的判断,尤其是长难句中,多种从句交叉使用。因此考生要具备系统准确的语法知识,同时要注意上下文之间的逻辑关系。
(2013·高考安徽卷)If you want to learn a new language,the very first thing to think about is why.Do you need it for a__36__ reason,such as your job or your studies?__37__ perhaps you’re interested in the __38__,films or music of a different country and you know how much it will help to have a __39__ of the language.
Most people learn best using a variety of __40__,but traditional classes are an ideal(理想的)start for many people.They __41__ an environment where you can practice under the __42__ of someone who’s good at the language.We all lead __43__ lives and learning a language takes __44__.You will have more success if you study regularly,so try to develop a __45__.It doesn’t matter if you haven’t got long.Becoming fluent in a language will take years,but learning to get by takes__46__.
Many people start learning a language and soon give up.“I’m too__47__,”they say.Yes,children do learn languages more __48__ than adults,but research has shown that you can learn a language at any __49__.And learning is good for the health of your brain,too.I’ve also heard people __50__ about the mistakes they make when __51__.Well,relax and laugh about your mistakes __52__ you’re much less likely to make them again.

如48题,一般来说小孩子学习语言比大人要快些,因此利用生活常识判断,故B项正确。
如54题,付出就会有所收获,利用生活常识判断,故B项正确。
如55题,考查语法知识,由文中的“the positive reaction of some people”及代词指代的一致性可知答案为A。此处表示:当你仅仅说几句他们的语言时,他们的积极反应就会让你感到惊奇。
【文章大意】 本文为一篇议论文。文章就学习一门语言的原因、方法以及语言学习与年龄、犯错误之间的关系等进行了讨论。
36.解析:选C。接下来的such as your job or your studies是对填空部分的列举,据此可知答案为C项。句意:你需要学一门语言是因为某一实际的原因,诸如求职或求学吗?practical实际的。
37.解析:选D。本题考查过渡性词语,应着重分析上下文之间的逻辑关系。句意:或许你对另外一个国家的文学、电影、音乐感兴趣,而且你知道掌握该语言将会有很大的帮助。本段讨论的是学习语言的原因,上句和本句分别给出了一种原因,显然两句之间为并列关系。or perhaps或许。故选D项。
38.解析:选A。根据语境可知,所填词语与接下来的films or music 并列,被of a different country 修饰,films or music 为文艺方面,故选A项。
39.解析:选B。view观点,看法;knowledge知识,掌握;form形式,表格,形状;database数据库。have a knowledge of掌握,了解,熟知。故选B项。
40.解析:选C。本句为本段的主题句。上一段讨论了学习语言的原因,本段讨论的是学习方法。故选C项。句意:大多数人使用各种不同的方法学得很好,但对许多人来说,传统的课堂是理想的开始。
41.解析:选D。根据空格后的内容an environment where...可知,此处应该表示“提供”(provide)一个环境。句意为“它们(传统的课堂)可以提供一种环境:你可以在一个精通该语言的人的指导下练习”。故选D项。
42.解析:选C。someone who’s good at the language对于学习者来说应是“指导”其学习,而不是“控制”“命令”或“强迫”。under the guidance of在……的指导下。故选C项。
43.解析:选A。接下来讨论的是学习一门语言需要大量的时间,故选A项。句意:我们都生活得很忙碌,但学习一门语言需要时间。
44.解析:选B。根据接下来的regularly...long...take years等词语可知,学习语言需要时间。故选B项。
45.解析:选C。根据前半句中的regularly可知应选C项。句意:如果定期学习,你会获得更多的成功,所以要努力养成习惯。routine例行公事;日常工作;常规,惯例。
46.解析:选B。句意:要学到流利的程度需要数年的时间,但只要求说得过去,时间则可以少得多。but表示转折,前一句说的是需要很多时间,后一句自然说相反的情况。故选B项。
47.解析:选A。根据接下来的children和adults可知,本段讨论的是学习语言与年龄之间的关系。故选A项。句意:许多人开始学习语言,但很快就放弃了。他们会说“我年龄太大了”。
48.解析:选B。根据常识可知,孩子比成年人学习语言的速度更快。故选B项。
49.解析:选A。本段讨论的是学习语言与“年龄”之间的关系,故选A项。
50.解析:选A。根据常识可知,学习一种语言的时候,人们一般都担心犯错误。worry about担心,故选A项。hesitate about对……犹豫不决;think about考虑;quarrel about 就……争吵。
51.解析:选D。本文讨论的是学习语言的事情。when learning=when they are learning a language。故选D项。
52.解析:选B。本句为一特殊句型,“祈使句+and+陈述句”,该结构相当于一个含有条件状语从句的主从复合句,祈使句表示的是一个条件。句意:放松心态,自嘲自己的错误,这样你再次犯错的可能性就大减。故选B项。
53.解析:选D。根据上下文的信息可锁定本句句意。本句为第四段的首句,起着承上启下的作用,是对上文的总结。上文讨论学习语言的诸多困难,然后通过But with some work and devotion,you’ll make progress.话锋一转,讨论学习语言的收获。故选D项。
54.解析:选B。通过上句可知,话题转移到讨论学习语言给你的收获——你说上几句他们自己的语言,一些人的积极反应就会让你“惊奇”。故选B项。
55.解析:选A。用their指代主句中的some people。故选A项。
完形填空解题技法之四——利用词汇复现法
复现有原词复现、同义词复现、反义词复现、同根词复现等。完形填空中,考生可以利用上下文的复现信息,确定正确的表达方式。做完形填空题绝不能离开上下文,要学会瞻前顾后,要做到词不离句、句不离段、段不离文。有时我们会发现,上文的答案在下文有提示,而下文的答案在上文中也有信息。

11题利用词汇复现法选择答案,17空后的“scars on her head”和“I cared much about my scars”暗示我头上有伤疤(scars),故C项正确。13题利用词汇复现法选择答案。21空后I was introduced to a children’s burns camp...,暗示此处“burns”烫伤,符合语境。
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。全文记叙了作者因为烫伤,头上留下了疤痕,之后由自卑到乐观的心路历程。总体来说,本篇文章的知识点和选项分布科学、合理,着重考查了考生在理解上下文的基础上,综合运用词汇的能力。设项以实词为主,虚词为辅,突出了词汇语境化,并注重了对语篇词的考查。
11.解析:选C。联系__17__空后的with scars on her head可知此处填scars“疤痕”。
12.解析:选A。由第一句中的关键词Baldy“秃子”和Even though I was used to regular insults(侮辱)...可知,即使我习惯了这类侮辱但是听起来“仍然”感到可怕。因此选still。
13.解析:选D。联系空后的after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head “满满一碗热油倒在了我的头上后”可知此处填burns“烫伤”。hunger饥饿;cold感冒;defeat挫败,战胜。
14.解析:选A。上文说满满一碗热油倒在了我的头上后,我被严重烫伤了,所以我应该被迅速送往医院,因此此处填rushed。rush sb.to hospital将某人迅速送往医院,符合题意。lead to导致,通向;invite...to...邀请……去……;force强迫,其结构是force sb.to do sth.不能用force sb.to some place结构。
15.解析:选B。联系前文我烫伤后被迅速送往医院可知,医生应是尽全力抢救我的生命。故选fought。fight to do sth.意为“尽全力做某事”。
16.解析:选B。联系空后的alive可知我能活下来是很“幸运的”,所以此处填lucky。happy“高兴的”;lonely“孤独的”;poor“贫穷的”。
17.解析:选C。联系前后文可知,此处医生说“但她的头上将会留下伤疤……”,leave“留下”,符合题意。press表示“按,压”;occupy表示“占用(空间、面积等)”;paint表示“油漆,绘画”。
18.解析:选B。由空前的I cared much about my scars可知,我非常在意我的伤疤,因此我通常戴围巾盖住伤疤。所以此处填usually“通常地”。A项“可能”;C项“最后”;D项“几乎,接近”。
19.解析:选C。联系前一句句意和空后的people would call me horrible names like Baldy“人们将会叫我像‘秃子’这样可怕的名字”可知此处表示条件。故选C项。
20.解析:选D。本句句意:尽管我的朋友们总是安慰我,可是他们从来都不能真正理解我的感受。所以really“真正地”,符合题意。A项“准确地”;B项“粗糙地,粗略地”;C项“容易地”。
21.解析:选B。此处表示:通过医院我被“介绍”去参加有烫伤的孩子们的露营。introduce“介绍”符合题意。promote促进;report报告;carry拿,搬运。
22.解析:选A。结合前面的一句及后文对Stephanie的介绍可知,在露营里我“遇见”了Stephanie,而不是recognize“认出”,remember“记住”或catch“抓住”。
23.解析:选B。由空后的she never lets anyone put her down“她从不会让任何人将她打倒”可知,此处应表示她(内心)非常strong“强大”。
24.解析:选D。联系空后的what people say about what you look like“人们所说的关于你长得什么样的话”可知,此处应填listen to“听”。write down写下;agree with同意;pass on传递。
25.解析:选B。联系该空前后Stephanie所说的话可知,她是在鼓励(encourage)我。所以,B项符合题意。promise许诺;order命令;calm使平静。
26.解析:选C。联系空前的don’t need to wear a scarf“不必戴围巾”可知,此处用without“没有,无”。
27.解析:选A。本句表示:我是第一次和与我有________经历的人说话。由该段前面的叙述可知,此处填similar“相似的”作后置定语,修饰不定代词something。strange奇怪的;hard艰难的;important重要的。
28.解析:选D。联系空后的by her bravery,I gave up my scarf可知我被她的勇敢所“鼓舞”,我不再戴围巾。inspire“鼓舞”符合题意。allow允许;require要求;guide带领。
29.解析:选A。结合前文的“我不再戴围巾了”可知,此处表示“不必躲藏在我的围巾下的感觉太神奇了”。hide away 躲藏,隐藏,符合题意。give away赠送,泄露;keep away防范,不接近;put away储存,放好。
30.解析:选D。联系后文“我已经意识到是个性决定你真正是谁”可知,此处表示“我现在以我的长相而自豪并且更加开心”。be proud of以……而自豪,符合题意。be sick of厌恶;be aware of知道;be tired of对……厌倦。
