1.语法结构所要求的功能词。如:连接词,连接代词,连接副词,关系代词,关系副词等。
2.具有语法变化的普通词。如:动词的时态、语态、语气,名词的数,代词的格,形容词和副词的等级等。
3.固定搭配短语或词组中的特定词。
4.同义词、近义词等易混淆词。
5.根据上下文意思及结构必须填入的确定词。 (二)“完形填空”题解题策略:
1.解题前要通读全文,领悟大意。
完形填空常以文章或段落的形式出现,因此,通读全文,把握文章整体大意尤为重要。很多同学为了省时间,只看选项,不看文章。不看上下文,不寻找文章中句子与句子的关系,结果做出来的答案往往是错误的。2.解题时要全面考虑,确定选项。
完形填空有些答案的四个选项从词汇搭配、语法和句子结构等角度考虑均行得通,但由于文章是一个完整的统一体,词、句、段三者存在着内在逻辑关系,因此考生还要从上下文中寻找有关的信息,对文章的情节进行逻辑推理,抓住含有关键信息的词语,理顺句子之间的关系,确定正确的答案。其具体做法有:
?重视首句,寻求信息
完形填空本是一篇残缺的文章,留下首句可以帮助考生了解文章的主题,可以了解短文的概貌与作者的意图。要充分利用首句的标示作用,利用它为解题找到一个突破口,从而展开思维。【例1】 Few people like changing their habits,good or bad.Whether it is smoking,drinking or over eating,they ________ “enjoying” them to the end.(2015,苏州,16)
A.stop B.continue C.finish D.avoid
解析:由首句“Few people like changing their habits,good or bad.(很少有人喜欢改变他们的习惯,好的或坏的。)”可知此处表示“他们继续‘享受’着这些习惯”。
答案:__B__My mother only had one eye.And because of this,I never wished her to show up in my school,being afraid that my classmates would __1__ I had an ugly mother.(2014,十堰,41)
1.A.run out B.put out
C.come out D.find outD?明辨褒贬语境,判断是非
几乎每篇完形填空的语境都有一定的褒贬性,这种褒贬性反映了主人公的特定心理、情绪状态和作者写作意图,因此利用好文章的语境褒贬性就能对文章进行准确的逻辑判断,从而在吃透文章并准确理解文意的基础上推断出每一空的准确信息,找出能反映语境褒贬性的标志性词语或句子,大胆预测下文。 【例2】 His house turned into a comfortable place immediately.The poor man ________.(2015,广东,55)
A.cheered up B.rang up
C.sped up D.stayed up
解析:由关键词comfortable可知,房子变得舒适了,那个穷人应该是“高兴起来了”。
答案:__A__ 【例3】 Happiness depends on what we have!It's in our heart.It's a state of mind,even though you own the whole world,you may still feel ________.(2015,黄冈,55)
A.funny B.happy C.excited D.unhappy
解析:由关键词even though来判断此处句意应为“即使你拥有整个世界,你也可能会仍然感到不开心”。
答案:__D__Finally,I stopped in the air.I spread my arms wide,laughing loudly and __2__.The workers pulled me up,smiling at me.(2015,长沙,40)
2.A.sadly B.angrily C.proudlyC?巧用平行结构,判断逻辑
平行结构指的是结构相同或相似、意思密切关联、语气一致的句子或短语组成串排列的语言现象。平行结构形式上整齐匀称,内容上联系紧密。命题者常从平行结构的句式相同或相似这一角度,利用其意义上的关联和对比这一特点来设题。了解这一点可大大提高解题效率。 【例4】 On October 20,2009,my mother died after a long illness...I was so thankful that she no longer had aches and ________.(2015,宁波,27)
A.gifts B.pains C.dialogs D.mistakes
解析:由上文可知,我非常欣慰母亲不再受疼痛的折磨。与aches(疼痛)相对称的词为pains。
答案:__B__They found that the kids who watched violent cartoons fought with others and __3__ class rules more often.(2014,宜宾,47)
3.A.broke B.followed
C.obeyed D.madeA?结合常识,明辨真伪
【例5】 We can't force life to follow our wishes.The earth won't ________ turning whether we accept it or not.
A.stop B.keep C.start
解析:句意为:“我们不能强迫生活会遵循我们的愿望。无论我们是否接受,地球都不会停止转动。”
答案:__A__It read “Dear Marie,I love you always.Miss you a lot.Don't forget me.Be __4__!Love,Mom.” That day,I cried.(2015,宁波,30)
4.A.serious B.happy C.patient D.strictB?熟练语法和固定搭配,轻松解题
对语法、固定搭配等基础知识的考查也是完形填空的命题角度之一。对于这种题,考生除了要注意平时的积累外,还要针对语法结构、句式特点、短文设空中需填的词在句中作什么成分、哪类词适合、应采取什么形式等进行分析,从而解决问题。【例6】At the same time,in developing countries like China and Brazil,sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years.________ will double again by 2050.(2015,南昌,64)
A.It B.That C.We D.They
解析:空白处所填词在句中作主语,指代上文中所提到的“sales”,为可数名词复数形式。
答案:__D__Last week,students at Rosie Bridge School worked hard to make their English Week very successful.
There __5__ a lot of activities including an English book fair in the library and a treasure hunt.(2015,沈阳,16)
5.A.are B.were
C.is D.wasB ?多方推断,寻求线索
完形填空所提供的是一篇具有完整意义的短文,其段与段、句与句、甚至词与词之间都有不可分割的、千丝万缕的联系。因此考生在做题时不要只注意设空处所在的短句子或段落,还要善于从上下文中寻找相关的提示信息。考生可利用正向推断法、逆向推断法和正逆向联合推断法寻找相关信息。
正向推断法要求考生利用已知信息推断下文未知信息,当然这儿所指的信息包括设空处近处或远处的信息。考生应认真阅读并分析上下文内容,弄清事实,并思考下文的发展方向,从而推断下文的未知信息。逆向推断法要求考生利用下文已知信息反向推断上文未知信息。当利用上文已知信息无法准确推断下文未知信息时,不能着急,应沉着冷静地阅读下文,看下文哪些事实或细节是上文未知信息的延伸和发展,并由此推断出空格处的未知信息。
在有些情况下,空格处未知信息既不能单独由上文已知信息正向推断而出,也不能单独由下文反向推断而出,而需要考生利用其上下文已知信息联合推断而出。考生应认真阅读并分析上下文,看哪些细节或事实与空格处有联系,并由此推断出空格处的未知信息。?正向推断法
【例7】One day,Li Xuan discovered a wishing well (许愿池) on the side of the road.(2015,长春,31)
He took out a coin and thew it into the ________.
A.street B.well C.river D.room
解析:由上文“一天,李轩在路边发现了一个许愿池”可知,他拿出一枚硬币是投向许愿池。
答案:__B__The plane took off.A passenger needed a cup of water to take his medicine.An air hostess (空姐) told him that she would bring him the __6__ soon.(2015,安徽,56)
6.A.medicine B.water

7.A.pride B.worry
C.anger D.regretBB?逆向推断法
【例8】 It was a Sunday morning,and I was in a ________ mood (情绪).Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me.(2015,山西,31)
A.good B.terrible
C.peaceful

答案:__B__Bert Manson,82,slowly opened his eyes and turned to face the clock on the beside table.It was 8:23 a.m.He felt __8__.The time was nothing to him.He had nothing to do all day.(2015,佛山,31)

【例9】 Just then a young man jumped out_of_a_car and asked if I was Jenny.Then we ________ to the bungee jumping place.I was amazed by the sights along the road through the window of the car.(2015,长沙,34)
A.walked B.ran C.drove
解析:由上句中的out of a car以及下句I was amazed by the sights along the road through the window of the car.(透过车窗,我被路边的景色惊呆了)可知,我们是开车去的。
答案:__C__...She wondered if they were getting the_right_foods.

11.A.nurse B.actress
C.doctor D.teacherAB?复读全文,检验答案
把填充后的短文反复阅读一两遍,逐一检查、校对所选答案是否符合短文中心及上下文要求,并确保没有不符合语言规范、不符合语法规则的选项。
很多同学做完形填空题存在一个误区,把很多的时间放到四个选项的比较上,这会降低解题效率。正确做法应是:
①顺藤摸瓜,首先是藤,你拿到文章之后要重点读第一句。
②瞻前顾后,在文章空格的上下文处,你觉得这个地方需要什么词,带着这个目的在四个选项里找。③顾全大局,做一道题时应该在段落里面理解一句话。
④认清细节,比如考固定搭配的题。
总之要想成功突破完形填空必须做到:研读首尾,抓主题;上下联系,寻信息;左顾右盼,找搭配;思前想后,觅逻辑;语境分析,辨词义;回读检查,补漏洞。考点跟踪突破38 完形填空
