“方法得當(dāng),事半功倍。”只有語料的積累，沒有好方法的協(xié)助也是不夠的。對于完形填空解題方法的梳理，能夠幫助我們更好地理解完形填空的命題邏輯，在有足夠語料積累的基礎(chǔ)上，能夠幫助我們爭取高分。敬愛的同學(xué)，老師已經(jīng)為你細(xì)心整理了完形填空的解題技巧，快來看看你駕馭了多少？一、完形填空解題步驟第一步通讀全文，把握脈絡(luò)跳過空格，速讀全文，把握大意。留意文中的語篇關(guān)鍵詞，和句中的連詞，如but出現(xiàn)后就說明句子強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn)是but后面的內(nèi)容；再如代詞it指代的定是前文的單數(shù)或者不行數(shù)名詞。找到關(guān)鍵詞可以幫助我們駕馭文章的也許意思及其想要傳達(dá)的寓意。其次步瞻前顧后，上下求索聯(lián)系上下文，運(yùn)用解題策略從句子、段落、語篇層面解題，抓住文章中的上下文線索詞?！揪唧w的解題策略會在下一部分具體描述】第三步再讀文章，核查答案代入答案，再讀全文，反復(fù)檢查，爭取做到：結(jié)構(gòu)正確+語義通順+邏輯合理。二、完形填空解題策略方法方法一：詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)法說明“詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)”是指某一詞匯以原詞、詞形改變(如protect和protection)、同義詞/近義詞(如road和trail)、反義詞(如wrong和correct)、上下義詞(上下義是指詞的總結(jié)和分解關(guān)系，上義詞是總稱詞，下義詞是被包含的個(gè)體或種類。如adult是myfather的上義詞；coat是clothes的下義詞)等重復(fù)出現(xiàn)在語篇之中。例題例1：Heisverykindandfriendlytoothers.Becauseofhis___________,heisquitepopularwiththepeoplearoundhim.A.abilityB.honestyC.relationshipD.kindness【分析：通過上文“Heisverykindandfriendlytoothers”，由“kind”可知因?yàn)樗摹昂蜕朴押谩彼苁軞g迎。故選D?！坷?：Theoldmantendstoforgetthingsfromtimetotime.Inotherwords,heismoreandmore_________.A.forgetfulB.unforgettableC.easy-goingD.hard-working【分析：通過上文“Theoldmantendstoforgetthingsfromtimetotime”，由“forget”可知他越來越“健忘”。故選A。（forgetful“健忘的”，unforgettable“難忘的”。）】方法方法二：上下文推理法說明“上下文推理法”是指依據(jù)對上下文的語義和整個(gè)語篇的理解，進(jìn)行適當(dāng)?shù)耐评硗茢?，因此需重點(diǎn)留意挖空處的上下文語境，推斷清晰所要表達(dá)的含義。例題例：Whenwetalked,Idiscovered（發(fā)覺）somedifferencesinschoollifebetweentheUSandChina.Forexample,eachclasslastsfiftyminutesintheUS.Itisalittle__17__thanthatinChina.Weusuallyhavefortyminutesineachclass.17.A.shorterB.longerC.earlierD.later【分析：通過上文“eachclasslastsfiftyminutesintheUS”和下文“Weusuallyhavefortyminutesineachclass.”可知美國每節(jié)課是50分鐘，中國每節(jié)課是40分鐘，依據(jù)上下文可以推斷出美國的課時(shí)比中國的長，故選B?！糠椒ǚ椒ㄈ哼壿嬐评矸ㄕf明“邏輯推理法”是依據(jù)文章的邏輯關(guān)系（如因果、并列、讓步、轉(zhuǎn)折、時(shí)間依次、目的、條件、選擇等）進(jìn)行適當(dāng)?shù)耐评硗茢啵虼诵杼厥饬粢馔诳仗幈硎具壿嬯P(guān)系的連詞（如and表并列，but和however表轉(zhuǎn)折，so表因果，firstofall、then和finally表依次等）。例題例1：MyyoungestcousinlikesChineseBeijingOperaverymuch,buthecan’tsing6.6.A.badly B.easily C.well D.excitedly【分析：通過上文“MyyoungestcousinlikesChineseBeijingOpera”和連詞“but”，可以推斷出前后存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，此處想要表達(dá)的含義是“喜愛但唱得不好”，故選C?！糠椒ǚ椒ㄋ模何幕尘俺ＷR法說明“文化背景常識法”是指完形填空的文章內(nèi)容往往與我們的文化生活、史地學(xué)問、生活科技等相關(guān)，有些內(nèi)容是我們已經(jīng)駕馭的生活常識，答題時(shí)要充分調(diào)動相關(guān)學(xué)問幫助我們分析、推斷。事實(shí)上，該技巧與“邏輯推斷”經(jīng)常交織在一起的，因?yàn)殡m有背景常識，仍需簡潔推理。需留意中外文化的差異性，不能總是用中國人看問題的角度來看待其它國家發(fā)生的事情。例題例：Therearemanykindsofanimalsintheworld.Elephantsarethe1animalsthatliveonland.Onlysomekindsofwhales(鯨魚)arebiggerthanelephants,buttheyliveinthe2.1.A.biggestB.smallestC.smallerD.bigger2.A.riverB.lakeC.seaD.forest【分析：第1題，眾所周知：大象是陸地上最大的動物，故選A.biggest。第2題，眾所周知：鯨魚生活在大海里，故選C.sea?！糠椒ǚ椒ㄎ澹汗潭ù钆浞ㄕf明完形填空以語境考查為主，但也有小部分題目考查語法學(xué)問、固定搭配和固定句型，解題過程中我們須要結(jié)合所學(xué)固定搭配選出正確答案。例題例1：Whentwopeopleareinaconversation,thespeakerwillonlylookatthelistenerfromtimetotime,inordertomakesurethatthelistenerdoespayattention13whatheorsheisspeaking…13.A.forB.ofC.withD.to【分析：考查固定短語“payattentionto留意”，故選D?！坷?：…butwewererelaxedwhenwewerelyingonthebeach.We10somephotosthere.10.A.gotB.broughtC.boughtD.took【分析：考查固定短語“takephotos拍照”，故選D?！空Z篇精講語篇精講障礙閱讀【遵循完形填空“先完意，后完形”的原則，指導(dǎo)學(xué)生在障礙閱讀的前提下領(lǐng)悟文章的主要意思，防止學(xué)生理解跑偏】（西城二模）ThePowerofStoryWhenmydogGraciedisappearedsixyearsago,IreallylearnedwhatIbelieve.Gracieescapedfromourbackyardaround2:00p.m.Wesearchedtheneighborhoodforhoursbuthadno______(31).Weputupadvertisements,andbydark,wereturnedhome,exhausted(精疲力竭).Onthesecondday,Icalledmyanimaldoctor,theSPCA,andtheanimalshelter(收容所).Nothing.Ifeltlost.IfIknewGraciehadbeen______(32),Iwouldhavebeenheartbroken.IfIknewshewascaughtsomewhere,Iwouldsaveher.IfIknewshehadfoundabetterhome,Iwouldbe______(33)yetrelieved(放心的).ButhowdoIdealwiththeunknown?Waitpatiently?Searchendlessly?Giveup?Thethirdday,whileIwassearchinginthewoodswithmyfriendRhea,ItoldherlosingGraciewaslikelosingfaith(信任)ineverything.Rheasmiledandsaid,“Youknow,maybeGracie’sonagreatadventure.”Itseems______(34),butIfeltbetterthen.Rhea’swords______(35)mewhat,asawriter,Isurelyhavefaithin:thepowerofstory.Asonewritersaid,allwehaveisstories.It’swhatholdsourlifetogether.Wecallstoriesscience,somestoriesmyth(神話),butimaginehearingforthefirsttimethattheworldmayberound.Suchstoriesonlybecomerealwhenwe______(36)them.Andsomestoriesareneversupportedwithscientificfacts,buttheystillseemtoholdtrue.Forexample,tenyearsearlier,I’ddreamtthatIshouldgeta______(37),andbythatevening,Graciecameintomylife.Whenpeoplewouldaskwhatkindofdogshewas,IwouldsayMuppetwolfterrier(小獵狗).ItwassomethingI______(38)becauseIbelievedGraciewashalfdog,halfwolf.Sowhynotimaginenowthatshewasoffonanadventureexploringherwolfside?Thefourthdaystartedwithmefindinga______(39)onthesidewalk,I’dalwaysthoughtoffindingmoneyasagoodsign.AndIwassureGraciewouldcomehomeonthefifthday.Iguessitwasanotherstorytoholdonto.OnDayFive,Iwasatafriend’shousewhenherphonerang.IknewimmediatelyitwasnewsaboutGracie.AndIwasright.WhenIfinallysawherinmyhallway,Icried.“Mywolfdaysare______(40).”Gracieseemedtosay.“I’mbacktobeingadog”.OrsoisthestoryIchoosetobelieve.文章大意為（只給出關(guān)鍵詞即可）________________________________________________________________參考關(guān)鍵詞：thepowerofstory;dog;disappear;havefaithin;story;better參考答案：whenhisdogdisappearedsixyearsago,thewriterrealizedthepowerofstory.【注：程度比較好的學(xué)生可以進(jìn)行無選項(xiàng)填空訓(xùn)練】語篇練習(xí)話題體裁詞數(shù)建議用時(shí)實(shí)際用時(shí)正確率難度人生感悟類記敘文44612-15分鐘__/10（西城二模）ThePowerofStoryWhenmydogGraciedisappearedsixyearsago,IreallylearnedwhatIbelieve.Gracieescapedfromourbackyardaround2:00p.m.Wesearchedtheneighborhoodforhoursbuthadno______(31).Weputupadvertisements,andbydark,wereturnedhome,exhausted(精疲力竭).Onthesecondday,Icalledmyanimaldoctor,theSPCA,andtheanimalshelter(收容所).Nothing.Ifeltlost.IfIknewGraciehadbeen______(32),Iwouldhavebeenheartbroken.IfIknewshewascaughtsomewhere,Iwouldsaveher.IfIknewshehadfoundabetterhome,Iwouldbe______(33)yetrelieved(放心的).ButhowdoIdealwiththeunknown?Waitpatiently?Searchendlessly?Giveup?Thethirdday,whileIwassearchinginthewoodswithmyfriendRhea,ItoldherlosingGraciewaslikelosingfaith(信任)ineverything.Rheasmiledandsaid,“Youknow,maybeGracie’sonagreatadventure.”Itseems______(34),butIfeltbetterthen.Rhea’swords______(35)mewhat,asawriter,Isurelyhavefaithin:thepowerofstory.Asonewritersaid,allwehaveisstories.It’swhatholdsourlifetogether.Wecallstoriesscience,somestoriesmyth(神話),butimaginehearingforthefirsttimethattheworldmayberound.Suchstoriesonlybecomerealwhenwe______(36)them.Andsomestoriesareneversupportedwithscientificfacts,buttheystillseemtoholdtrue.Forexample,tenyearsearlier,I’ddreamtthatIshouldgeta______(37),andbythatevening,Graciecameintomylife.Whenpeoplewouldaskwhatkindofdogshewas,IwouldsayMuppetwolfterrier(小獵狗).ItwassomethingI______(38)becauseIbelievedGraciewashalfdog,halfwolf.Sowhynotimaginenowthatshewasoffonanadventureexploringherwolfside?Thefourthdaystartedwithmefindinga______(39)onthesidewalk,I’dalwaysthoughtoffindingmoneyasagoodsign.AndIwassureGraciewouldcomehomeonthefifthday.Iguessitwasanotherstorytoholdonto.OnDayFive,Iwasatafriend’shousewhenherphonerang.Iknewimmedi
