1．短文內(nèi)容邏輯性強(qiáng)，文章結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，層次分明。2．文體由單一向多樣性轉(zhuǎn)化。近幾年文體出現(xiàn)故事、新聞報(bào)道、應(yīng)用文、夾敘夾議等文體，已經(jīng)突破了單一的敘述文體。其考察的熱點(diǎn)依次為：故事類、教育類、社會(huì)類、文化類、體育衛(wèi)生類。所選文章情節(jié)曲折，趣味性強(qiáng)，結(jié)3．文章基本長度在270～290詞之間，設(shè)空為20個(gè)，挖空密度在10～12詞之間，體現(xiàn)了“在穩(wěn)定中求發(fā)展”的命題指導(dǎo)思想，多為第一句不設(shè)空，考生可在第一句得到相關(guān)信息，如時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物等，從而預(yù)測全文。4．備選答案以實(shí)詞為主，虛詞為輔，虛詞又以連詞為主。要求學(xué)生不僅能夠熟練地掌握基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，還需綜合文章前后邏輯，根據(jù)具體語境，從語言的準(zhǔn)確性出發(fā)，排除干擾項(xiàng)的迷惑，選出最佳答案。應(yīng)試高分瓶頸隨著完形填空朝著語言交際化，情景生活化，詞匯應(yīng)用靈活化方向性，要求語言應(yīng)用與情景交際融為一體，當(dāng)然難度不斷增加，學(xué)生便對(duì)完型填空產(chǎn)生厭倦恐懼心理。常會(huì)在做題過程中，在未抓住文章主旨下，便以此為中心展開推測判斷，往往斷章取義，會(huì)導(dǎo)致偏差，甚至與文章的中心相悖，或是受思維定勢干擾，對(duì)文章分析不透，忽視特定語境中知識(shí)的運(yùn)用，以致處于應(yīng)付的狀態(tài)，做題能力得不到提升，這就要求學(xué)生不僅擁有扎實(shí)牢固的基礎(chǔ)，還要有一定的閱讀能力與速度，以及綜合邏輯與思維。當(dāng)然，良好的心理素質(zhì)是必須的，在做完形填空中做到“信息常識(shí)；上下呼應(yīng)；搭配譴辭；邏輯貫通?！??！蛎}點(diǎn)1記敘文◎命題點(diǎn)2人物故事◎命題點(diǎn)3夾敘夾議◎命題點(diǎn)4說明夾敘述◎命題點(diǎn)5說明文◎命題點(diǎn)6議論文本類考題解答錦囊完形填空是一項(xiàng)綜合性較強(qiáng)的試題，它往往被考生視為“老大難”題目。因?yàn)樗粌H考查學(xué)生的語言、語法知識(shí)，而且還考查學(xué)生的英語背景知識(shí)，以及綜合運(yùn)用語言基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的能力。完形填空?？疾榭忌韵缕邆€(gè)方面：1．同義或近義詞的辨析。2．詞組固定搭配。3．動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)。4．代詞的復(fù)指。5．主謂一致性(包括名詞單復(fù)數(shù)問題)。6．判斷上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。7．閱讀理解(包括日常常用知識(shí))。完形填空在高考中占有很大的比例；做好這道題是能否獲取高分的關(guān)健。那如何做到準(zhǔn)確，迅速地“完形”呢?概括有如下三個(gè)步驟：一、泛讀一通讀全文，抓住主旨有的同學(xué)總是急于求成，想要一步到位，或是由于原文設(shè)置空格所造成的理解障礙，擔(dān)心通讀全文不但抓不住大意還浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，未通覽全文即邊讀邊填，結(jié)果是就句論句，無法形成連貫的思路，或是“見木不見林”，理解偏離文章的中心，欲速則不達(dá)。大家首先要克服不良心理，滿懷信心，全神貫注，目光越過空格，注意把握短文的整體內(nèi)容。任何短文都是圍繞一個(gè)特定的中心話題展開，抓住了話題便可“舉目為綱”掌握短文的脈絡(luò)；同時(shí)可以避免思維斷線或漂浮不定，從而準(zhǔn)確、迅速地“完型”。在通讀全文的過程中，力求對(duì)文章的整體內(nèi)容有個(gè)基本的認(rèn)識(shí)，明確主題思想，認(rèn)識(shí)文章結(jié)構(gòu)，了解文章的層次(完形填空所給的短文一般是從交待背景開始，漸次推進(jìn)，直至高潮，然后結(jié)局，環(huán)環(huán)相扣，條理十分清楚。)要想抓住主旨，關(guān)鍵在于首尾句。文章首句一般不設(shè)空，為一個(gè)完整的句子，通過此窗口，可掌握一些信息，如時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物等，尾句為一篇文章總結(jié)，點(diǎn)睛之筆，由此可從整體上感知全文，進(jìn)而理解全文。二、精讀一細(xì)讀全文，綜合考慮，選出最佳詞不離句，句不離文。針對(duì)任何一個(gè)選項(xiàng)，都要著眼于該選項(xiàng)所在句，并且要瞻前顧后，不僅僅考慮語法、句型、習(xí)慣用法、固定搭配等，還需要根據(jù)不同場合、不同人、不同的文化習(xí)俗，對(duì)生活常識(shí)的積累以及語感，文章的前后推論與照應(yīng)，理清脈絡(luò)，仔細(xì)推敲，去偽存真，選出最佳答案，切忌走馬觀花，斷章取義，應(yīng)付對(duì)待?？煽偨Y(jié)如下：1．在理解全文內(nèi)容的大前提下，根據(jù)上下文相關(guān)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行判斷選擇，不要只考慮本句的意思需要和備選答案。例如：典型例題Givegirlschanceto55，andtheywillA．thinkB．succeedC．perfOrmD．feel答案且要確定這個(gè)答案必須理解全篇的內(nèi)容，體會(huì)到作者寫這篇短文的目的是通過講自己喜愛沖浪而使人們認(rèn)識(shí)到女孩可以做男孩所做的事，告訴人們要給女孩成功的機(jī)會(huì)，她們一定能成功。我們在做完形填空時(shí)，常會(huì)有這種感覺，開頭幾個(gè)空填不上，或者說不讀完全文，無法填空，這時(shí)切記冷靜，克服急躁恐懼心理，那么不妨?xí)簳r(shí)放過這幾個(gè)空，繼續(xù)往下，先易后難，隨著閱讀逐漸展開，逐漸入境根據(jù)下文的字里行間，直接或間接地找到所需要的信息，待全文填完,很清楚的情況下，剩下的難題就可做出，有一種“豁然開朗”之感，而不是“似懂非懂”。本類考題解答錦囊2．根據(jù)邏輯推理，從常識(shí)和常規(guī)的角度去考慮。例如：典型例題ThefeelinglgetwhenI’msurhngacrossthat44，becomingonewiththe45，islikeI’mweightless．A．beachB．waterc．boardD.1ake答案B根據(jù)常識(shí)可判斷出沖浪是在水面上進(jìn)行的。45．A．skyB．worldC．earthD．ocean答案D沖浪是在海洋中進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。作者感到自己與海洋成為了一體。3．從詞語意義辨析方面進(jìn)行選擇。例如：(NMET，典型例題ertheyears，thestoryoftheYctishas41．A．developedD．ChangedC.occurredD．continued答案D根據(jù)這四個(gè)詞的意思和上下文的內(nèi)容可確定選項(xiàng)D是正確答案。4．從習(xí)慣用法、固定搭配的角度去考慮。例如：典型例題Yousee，IdealtoutmylOckerbecauseldidn'twanmess(臟亂)50anyoneelse．A.overD．intoC.withD.for答案Dleavesth．forsb.把某物留給某人。我不想把臟亂留給別人。leaveover省去，略去；1eavesth．withsb．把某物交給某人。5．善于總結(jié)概括全文內(nèi)容，根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容進(jìn)行選擇。例如：IknowthenthatAmyandIwouldbe50andmyfirstyearofcollegeWOUldbeasuccess．A．sistersD．friendsCstudentsD．fellOW答案B從全文內(nèi)容很容易排除選項(xiàng)A和D。根據(jù)Amy的熱情接待，作者預(yù)感到她與Amy會(huì)成為朋友。6．根據(jù)文章背景的意思需要，從語言結(jié)構(gòu)上進(jìn)行選擇。例如：Irealizedthat53Ihadddonethat，Iwuolddhavelostanewfriendandmisseda11thefunwewouldhavetogether．A．beforeB．ifC．whileD．a(chǎn)s答案B根據(jù)謂語動(dòng)詞是虛擬語氣可判斷出應(yīng)用if填寫。在表示過去的虛擬語氣中，if從句用had+過去分詞，主句用would(could)+havedone．7．注意英漢兩種語言的差異，不能簡單地互譯，據(jù)語感選擇答案。出題者深知學(xué)生在英語學(xué)習(xí)過程中的弱點(diǎn)，往往從母語的角度設(shè)置干擾項(xiàng)來增加試題的難度，考查學(xué)生的基本功和靈活運(yùn)用能力，所以在平常的學(xué)習(xí)中，要逐漸培養(yǎng)自己的“語感”不要受母語的影響。這就需要較高的閱讀能力和閱讀技巧，是在大量閱讀、科學(xué)訓(xùn)練的基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展起來的一種能力。三、驗(yàn)證——帶入答案，復(fù)查全文把答案填入空白處，恢復(fù)短文的原貌，重新閱讀全文，注重全丈是否連貫，語言是否精確，對(duì)因逐句理解而造成的片面錯(cuò)誤進(jìn)行調(diào)整，注重所選的是最佳答案而不是“正確”答案，必要時(shí)進(jìn)行調(diào)整，切忌流于形式。常有同學(xué)做完完形填空后，便草草收?qǐng)?，結(jié)果讓一些疏忽導(dǎo)致不該犯的錯(cuò)，造成試卷中的遺憾，所以最后一步尤為重要。綜上所述，完形填空雖然難度較大，考查學(xué)生綜合運(yùn)用英語知識(shí)的能力，得高分較難，這就要學(xué)生了解高考完形填空的命題特點(diǎn)，并掌握此題的技巧，在平日訓(xùn)練中有的放矢，在熟練掌握語言、詞匯、語法等扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)和基本技能之上，在科學(xué)的訓(xùn)練之上，及時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)不足，及時(shí)總結(jié)，相信大家就能提高運(yùn)用所學(xué)知識(shí)解決實(shí)際問題的能力，在做題時(shí)就能得心應(yīng)手，事半功倍，馬到成功。******************************************************結(jié)束SpringtimeinParisDepartures:May5,12,19andJune94daysfor$129perpersonParisintheSpringtimewas,isandalwayswillbe,somethingratherspecial.Whynotexperienceitforyourselfwiththisexcellentbreakforfourdays?Thisattractivecityhassomethingtooffereveryoneandwithpricesatjust$129.It'sgreatvaluetoo.Yourbreakbeginswithexecutivecoach(長途公共汽車)transfer(中轉(zhuǎn))fromregional(各地的)pick-uppointsandtraveltoPari
