考博英语完型考查重点及复习策略-育明考博

考博英语完型考查重点及复习策略1.词汇的准确性在完形填空中，词汇的地位永远都是不可撼动。

一般而言，我们将词汇考察部分分为基本词义与近义辨析两个部分。

前者考察的主要是考生能否识别选项中的单词意思与用法，因此出现的考察选项往往并非较为常见，或者以较为常见单词中不是很较为常见的意思进行考察。

后者考察的难度要更高一些，立足于将意思较为相近的四个选项，或者虽然意思并非相近但容易让人误以为意思相近的选项，给考生进行辨析，一方面，考生需要结合上下文找出所要填充选项的单词大致意思，另一方面，考生更要从意思相近的选项之中筛选出所真正要的正确选项，困难可以说是很大，这一能力的提高往往需要大量的相关题目进行良好的训练。

2.常用短语和语法常用短语作为很直观的考查点，在对于某一固定搭配的考察之中。

对于认识和掌握这一常用短语的人来说，它非常简单易选，但对于不熟悉的考生来讲，往往很难凭借既有英语基础做出正确推断。

所以对于体系庞大的常用短语的重复不断记忆往往变成这一部分备考的突破点所在。

如今，“结构与词汇”部分在考博英语中已经去掉了。

很多考生就认为不用必要花时间去学语法了，其实这是一种误解，语法知识在理解英文的过程中起着至关重要的作用，在帮助考生理解上下文的内容和逻辑关系方面也是非常必要的。

3.全文连贯英语文章强调句与句、段与段之间的逻辑性和流畅性，强调句句相联、段段相接。

用于加强句与句之间连贯性的方法不少，但最常用的方法是使用过渡词和代词。

“英语知识运用”部分考查对上下文逻辑关系理解的考题比重在不断加大，这在最近几年的试卷中已有所体现。

（育明考博辅导课程咨询方式TEL:四零零六六八六九七八;扣扣：547063862）完形填空考察的一大重点是语义的衔接，要求考生在选择正确答案时，不但要考虑四个选项意义、用法上的区别，还要分析上下文中的语义关系，使所选答案与上下文紧密相连，符合语境。

与其他英语试卷中的单句词汇题不同，从某个单句来看，似乎所有的选项都是正确的，但是通读全文，理解整篇文章的意思后，就会发现，只有一个选择是最佳的选项。
