高考完形填空应试技巧讲义
高考完形填空应试技巧一、近年来高考英语完形填空试题的特点：⒈取材广泛。
完形填空多是记叙文，故事性强，有情节，而且内容多种多样，如侧重表达西方人风俗习惯的文章、描写人物内心活动的文章、有关科技或常识的文章等。
不少文章涉及西方文化背景，与中国文化有很大差别。
⒉文章长度稳定。
近年来，高考完形填空文章一般在290 ～320个词之间。
众所周知，一般说来，文章越短，挖空密度越大，由于失去的语言信息越多，理解文章的难度就越大，解答试题的难度也就会相应加大。
当然，试题的难易程度还取决于文章本身的句子结构和谴词用句。
如果通篇是简单句的结构，用词简单，自然便于理解，容易选择答案。
相反，如果文章多用非谓语动词和其他短语结构，多用大词难词，则必然增强试题的难度。
不过，从目前高考英语中完形填空试题的选文来看，都不会超越现在高中英语教材的难度。
⒊首句不设空。
完形填空，一般没有标题，但首句一般不设空，是向考生提供时间、地点、人物、事件、论点等有用的信息，是了解全文的“窗口”，是考生进行推断的基础和起点。
⒋考查实词为主，虚词为辅。
从历届高考英语试题来看，完形填空所考查的词，从词类上来说，以实词（动词、形容词、副词、代词等）为主，虚词（连词、冠词、介词等）为辅。
⒌重点考查篇章语意，即意义选择为主，语法填空极少。
完形填空试题要求考生根据文章的整体内容，分层次的结构和内容的逻辑关系，去选考择符合文章情节的答案。
这就决定着试题考查必须以情景意义选择为主。
在历年高英语完形填空试题中，完全根据语法知识进行选择的很少。
有的小题，即有，称为情景意义选择，目前已覆盖了完形填空的全部试题。
语法排除的内容，也有意义选择的内容。
无需语法知识，只根据文章内容确定答案。
⒍以单词填空为主，词组和短语填空为辅。
近年的高考英语完形填空试题绝大部分是单词填空，词组或短语的整体要求填空极少，基本趋于零。
⒎选择最佳答案一词之变，使试题更加符合解答试题的实际。
这就意味着，有的试题选项，从全文整体意义上看，也可能勉强讲得通，但考虑文章内容的具体情景或备选答案词语的习惯用法，细微的意义区别，才能确定最佳答案。

解题技巧———单选法 解题技巧———单选法 ———
一、解题方法说明 完形填空是综合性题型，检测点涵盖了语法、语义和语句语篇的理解。词汇掌握充分和理解能力很好的学生， 能很好地应对此题。 但对大多数不爱记忆英语单词和阅读英文文章以提升英文阅读理解能力的学生来说， 此题是他们 的失分最多的地方。 如何在短时间内提升完形填空的做题速度和正确率？针对基础不好的学生，在这里提出一种相对省事省力的方 法，帮助他们快速解题。这就是单选法。 单选法，顾名思义，就是单项选择的意思。也就是说，把完形填空整篇解构了，把选项所在的句子独立出来， 每一题就是一个单项选择。 单选法的优点是把语篇简单化，对基础不好的学生，能克服他们对又长又臭的看不懂的英文文章感到恐惧和厌 烦的心理，同时，还能让学生把注意力集中在对句子的句意和句子间的逻辑关系的理解中，让学生尽可能地放心地读 题解题。 单选法的缺点是，学生容易忽略上下句子间的结构关系，导致有的要承前启后的句子选择失误，造成逻辑结构 上的冲突。 单选法的注意事项： ★快速答题后，一定要快速地扫描前一句后一句，确保语义语句的连贯。最后，有时间的话，再回头检查，通 理全篇。 ★单选法不是单纯的一个句子，而是在语篇的扫描中，快速地把语义紧凑一个及几个句子逻辑结构紧凑的句子 以最简单的方式联系到一起，最大限度地帮助有效阅读和解题。 二、实例讲解 原文： 原文： A As Christmas drew near, Ursula was faced with just that problem. She had come to live in an American home and learn English. __21 _, she would mind the children and do anything she was asked.

的事情。 由此，选 A。 ★ One of her tasks was to keep track of 23 Christmas presents. Ursula did this faithfully, but she became increasingly worryied. 23. A. delivering B. mailing C. arriving D. sending 分析句子：One of her tasks was to keep track of 23 Christmas presents. Ursula did this faithfully, but she became increasingly worryied. 把句子简单化，就是：One s was to keep track of 23 presents. （Ursula did this faithfully, but she became increasingly worryied.） Keep track of 做好记录。 A. delivering 运输，运送 B. mailing 邮寄 C. arriving 到达，来到 D. sending 发送 A/B/D 均表示礼物的“送出去” ，而只有 C 选项表示礼物的“到达，送达” 。所以，选择 C。 ★ What could she buy for her _25 with the little money she had that would compare with the gifts she was recording daily? _26_ ,even without any of the gift, her employer seems to have everything. 25. A. American family B. own family C. friends D. classmates 26. A. Otherwise B. Therefore C. Besides D. However 分析句子：What could she buy for her _25 ? _26_ ,even without any of the gift, her employer seems to have everything. 对于 25 由 her employer 可知她要送的礼物对象，就是她的美国家庭。因而选 A 对于 26 前一句讲的是她能买什么礼物来送，后一句讲的是她的美国家庭看起来一切都有了。后一句的情况正是前一 句矛盾的加深反映，递进关系。A. Otherwise 然而，表转折 B. Therefore 因此，表因果 C. Besides 还有，表递进 D. However，然而，表转折。综合，选 C。 ★ Ursula __28_ long and hard.On Christmas Eve, she went to a store. She moved, _30 things in her mind. 28. A. talked B. worked C. waited D. thought 30. A. selecting B. matching C. remembering D. organizing 句子分析：Ursula __28_. she went to a store. She moved, _30 things in her mind. 对于 28，后面有 went，出发。做事情应该是先想好了准备好了再出发的。于是，28 选 D。 对于 29， store 商店， 去商店自然而然地， 在没有特殊的情况下， 就是去购物挑选东西的。 selecting 选择 B. matching A. 匹配 C. remembering 记住 D. organizing 组织。根据句意，选 A。 ★ She immediately called _31 . “Excuse me, please, can you help me find a poor family with a baby?” “A poor family?” said the 32_ driver. “Yes, a very poor family.” Ursula told the man of what she was trying to do. 31.
