1.完形填空主要考查在语篇中的词汇知识。
2.完形填空的体裁多以记叙文为主,偶有议论文、夹叙夹议的文章或说明文。
3.要求选择填空的词常为实词(如名词、动词、形容词 、副词等)着重词义辨析能力的考查;代词、冠词、介词、连词(包括从句的连接词)考得较少。
4.首句不设空。
5.逻辑链上挖空(原文中有线索词提示)。
6.选项设计:同一词类、同一语法形式。
完形填空的每一个空都不是孤立存在的,解题时要通过上下文提供的线索来保证所填自主解答的唯一性。除满足词义、用法和搭配的要求外,句间乃至全文的逻辑关系也是重要线索。解题时要在整体把握文章脉络的基础上,按照行文逻辑进行合理推断,并据此找到与文中某些词语有密切关系的选项。
多数语篇有一定的“写作套路”,即挫折或困境一尝试改变一圆满结局一意义阐述。解题时,要整体把握语篇弄清故事缘由,中间经历了怎样的变化,结局是什么,揭示了什么哲理或意义等。
信息复现在完形填空中经常出现,包括原词、同/近义词、反义词、同根/同源词、概括性词汇等。了解这些信息复现现象有助于快速、准确解题。
完形填空不仅考查词汇的常用词义,还会考查常见词汇的语境化“新义”,因此要关注词汇在语境中的使用。
解答完形填空试题时,有时还需要把头脑中储存的知识和信息与文本结合起来考虑,做出符合常识的最佳选择。特别要关注中西文化的差异。
【技巧1】词汇运用
完形填空语篇一般为记叙文或者说明文。无论文本的体裁是什么,文章总有一个核心话题与该话题有关的内容会在文章中反复出现。很多情况下,我们可以利用信息复现快速确定正确答案。语篇中的信息复现包括原词复现、同义词或近义词复现、代词复现、概括词复现及同范畴词复现等。

A. declared B. repeated C. whispered D. recited
解题思路

【技巧2】推理判断
我们可以从以下几方面进行推理判断:
1、运用"前置信息"与"后置信息",即语境
2、运用复现词语
3、运用同义词或近义词
4、运用反义词
5、运用上下义词
6、运用逻辑关系
7、运用生活常识及文化背景知识
典例
1、运用"前置信息"与"后置信息"
充分利用文章的上下文和前后句,找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。例如:
Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived ____ for many years. In 1881 he returned to Scotland for a holiday.
A. alone B. next door C. at home D. abroad
2. 利用复现词汇
有时为了表达的需求,在上下文中有同一概念出现,可以借助这一信息选择正确答案。
All of a sudden I started to feel rather _1__. She wondered why I was looking for this sort of _2_ . I felt even more hopeless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience.
1. A. encouraged B. dissatisfied C. hopeless D. pleased
2. A. place B. job C. advice D. help
3. 利用同义词或近义词
在英语中有时为了避免重复,常用意思相同或相近的词或解释性的语言来连接上下文。
I remember as a child I said something ____ about somebody, and my father said, "Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it's a reflection of you."
A. unkind B. unnecessary C. unimportant D. unusual
4. 利用反义词
语意的连贯有时通过对比的结构采用反义复现的手段,或者是以反义的方式对前文加以解释。应注意分析这类概念复现,从反义的角度判断正确的选项。
Some parts of the water are very shallow(浅的). But in some places it is very __.
A. high B. deep C. cold D. dangerous
5、利用上下义词
上义词是总称词,下义词是被包含的个体。它们是包含与被包含的关系。如:food是bread, noodle, milk, rice的上义词,反之bread, noodle, milk, rice是food的下义词。
1. He taught her how to rely on her other ____, specifically her hearing…
A. feeling B. organs C. skills D. senses
2. I…dropped all the coins into… "It proved to be a waste of _____," I thought …
A. words B. effort C. space D. money
6. 利用逻辑关系
如表示结构层次的firstly, secondly, finally等;
如表示并列关系的and, or, besides, as well (as)等;
表示因果关系的thus, therefore, so等,
表示改变话题的by the way;
表示递进关系的besides, what's more, further 等,
表示转折关系的however, but, while, on the other hand等 等。
做题时如果能充分利用这些过渡词汇,就可以迅速理清文章脉络,弄清上下文的关系。
① We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to buy a car because we had sold the one we had in England before____home.
A. leaving B. making C. returning D. getting
② She was small in figure but strong in __. Through determination, she had learned to read and write.
A. brain B. wish C. will D. health
7、运用生活常识及文化背景知识
了解生活常识,确定相关知识

A. jobs B. homes C. buses D. offices
② Immediately the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the ___ hospital.
A. animal B. biggest C. plant D. nearest
【技巧2】紧抓主旨
作者往往通过首句或首段揭示文章的主旨大意,体现文章的题材、体裁。在做完形填空时,我们要理清文章思路,把握作者的态度或思想情感,这对做好一篇完形有着非常重要的作用,否则可能导致几个空格的连续选填失误。
典例
① Bedtime stories are one of the delights of early childhood. According to Dr. Julie Spreadbury from Queensland University, Parents should not __1___ reading to their children after they enter primary school.
A. speed up B. keep up C. give up D. hold up
做完形填空时,除了依据所学语言知识和解题技巧外,还应避免几个误区。
1、单纯求快,忽略语篇理解,只看局部的词义辨析、搭配和语法结构,试图用语言知识解决所有问题。
2、时间安排不当,做完形填空的时间应控制在12分钟左右。正确的做法是由易到难。
