高三英语专题复习之完形填空部分

【专题讲解】

 完形填空的四个显著特点

1.短文特点 以故事性较强的记叙文或者夹叙夹议的文体为主，篇幅在300以内，难度低于阅读理解中的短文。一般来讲，故事类文段情节多有曲折，结尾出人意料，常常是幽默所在，“包袱”所在；议论类文段结构严谨，层次分明，语句中有较多的“对仗”现象。

2. 设空特点 短文的第一句通常不设空。考生通过它可以迅速确定文章的话题和故事发生的背景，把握文章的发展方向。

3. 选项特点 同一题的四个选项均属于同一词类或同一语法形式，而且往往都和设空前后的单词形成某种搭配，这样便形成了很强的迷惑性和干扰性，其区别在于语境意义的不同。有时单独看那一句，可能用哪个选项都正确，没有语法错误，但根据文章的整体理解和上下文语境却只有一个语义正确的选项。

4. 语境特点 语境就是指上下文，若空格的答案由上文决定叫前制性设空，空格的答案由下文决定叫后制性设空，空格的答案需要综合上下文而定的则为语篇性设空，高考完形填空通常以后制性设空为主。语境型设空可分为三个层次：①句子层次，空格的答案由所处的那一个句子决定；②句组层次，空格的答案由相邻不远的一组句子决定；③语篇层次，空格的答案由语篇内容综合决定。高考完形填空按句组层次和语篇层次设空的题居多，这种设题方式体现了“突出语篇”的命题思路。

 完形填空的八个常考考点

1. 考查语法规则

考查考生语法知识的运用能力。近年来完形填空中单纯考查语法知识的题一般不考，只是偶尔有个别考题。如：

On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse…(江苏) 36. A. since B. before C. when D. while

因a few minutes past three是“我丈夫”从马上掉下来的时间，应是定语从句的先行词，所以用when引导定语从句，正确选项是C。 2. 考查固定搭配

考查考生对常见的英语固定短语和习惯用法的掌握情况。如动词与名词的搭配；动词与介词或副词的搭配；介词与名词的搭配，句式结构的固定搭配等等。这类搭配在高考完形填空中时有出现。：

… The former 37 every possible effort to avoid being discovered…It was not long 50 a customer who had seen him arrive hurried in to inform him... (重庆)

37. A. do B. take C. make D. try 50. A. when B. after C. until D. before

因make every effort(尽力)是固定词组，It was not long before…(不久以后就)是固定句式，所以这两题的正确选项分别是C和D。

3. 考查词语辨析

考查考生在特定语境中区别近义词的能力。几个选项的词性相同，意义相近，要求我们在特定的语境中区分它们之间的细微差别。一般说来，其中的两个选项容易排除，难辨的是两个。如：

Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians（挪威人）had 36 them in the race to be the first ever to reach it.(辽宁)

36. A. hit B. fought C. won D. beaten

由第一句的disappointed可知，挪威人已经“胜过了”Scott和他的同伴，很易排除 选项A和B；而其余两个选项都有“胜过”之意，这就要求我们知道它们之间的细微差别：win的宾语通常是比赛、奖品或荣誉等，而beat的宾语则是竞赛或竞争的对手；所以正确选项是D。

4. 考查行文逻辑

考查考生对上下文逻辑关系的理解，如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、增补关系、比较关系、对比关系等。四个选项都是表示文章的起承转合、上下连贯等逻辑关系的词语，必须弄清句子前后的逻辑关系，才可作出正确选择。如：

You are near the front line of a battle. Around you shells are exploding; people are shooting from a house behind you. What are you doing there? You aren’t a soldier. You aren’t 36 carrying a gun. You’re standing in front of… (湖北)

36. A. simply B. really C. merely D. even 因为第36空这句话与前句是递进关系，“你不是士兵，‘甚至连’也没有带”，所以正确选项是D。

5. 考查经验常识

考查考生在日常的学习和生活中所积累的经验和基本常识，以及一些基本的科学常识。如：

But we run so much that, afterwards, we had trouble 45 . (北京) A. speaking B. moving C. sleeping D. breathing

跑得太多，其结果当然是上气不接下气，即呼吸困难了，我们一般都会有这样的生活经历，所以正确选项是D。

6. 考查文章结构

考查考生对文章脉络层次的把握能力。如：

First of all, I respected his devotion to teaching… 43 , I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk…Finally, I was attracted by his lively sense of humor.(全国)

43. A. Later B. Secondly C. However D. Therefore

本文的写作结构很清楚：开篇点题——难忘的哲学教授；诸条陈述——何以难忘：前有First of all提起, 后有Finally落脚，那么中间只有用Secondly来过渡了，所以正确选项是B。

7. 考查逻辑推理

考查考生根据文意和所掌握的知识经验进行简单的逻辑推理来确定选项的能力。如：

The Greek myth that explains why there are changes of seasons is about Demeter, the goddess of the harvest. She had a daughter, Persephone, whom she loved very much.

Hades, god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone, and he asked Zeus, the 37 of the gods, to give Persephone to him as his wife. Zeus did not want either to disappoint Hades or to upset Demeter, so…(广东)

37. A. winner B. ruler C. advisor D. fighter

冥王海地斯(Hades)要求宙斯(Zeus)把农业女神得墨忒耳(Demeter)的女儿珀尔塞福涅Persephone赐给(give)他做妻子，谁能行使如此大权？不难推知，只有众神之统领(rule)了，所以正确选项是B。

8. 考查前后语境

考查考生根据上下文提供的信息进行分析及推理的能力。高考的完形填空题中绝大多数属这种题型。有的根据上文、有的根据下文、有的要上下文结合，甚至通篇看完并理解才能作出正确的选择。如：

One afternoon, I was out exploring…and saw a new kind of cactus (仙人掌). I crouched (蹲) down for a closer look. “You’d better not 47 that.” (湖南) I turned around to see an old woman.

…

“Would you like to come to my home tomorrow? Someone should teach you which plant you should and shouldn’t touch.”

47. A. move B. dig C. pull D. touch

此题若不读到最后一段的最后一句的最后一个单词，很难选出正确选项D来。

 完形填空的三个解题原则

根据近年完形填空题的特点，要正确解答完形填空题，我们必须遵循下列三项原则。

(1)上下求索——寻信息。有的空格的提示信息很可能在文章的后面出现；有的空格的提示信息也可能在前面出现；有的空格的提示信息在前面和后面都有出现，需要综合起来考虑。

(2)左顾右盼——找搭配。答题时，眼睛不能只盯在空格上或盯在一个句子上，一定要“左顾右盼”，弄清前后的固定搭配。

(3)思前想后——通全文。选择答案时，一定要考虑到此选项不但在本句中是可以的，而且要在全文中讲得通。 但在具体的解答过程中，还需要从以下几个方面加以关注。

 完形填空的四个解题步骤

(1) 通读全文，理解大意。因为高考的完形填空题以后制性设空和语境设空为主，所以千万不要看一句填一空。而要首先利用首句，跳过空格，浏览全文，从整体上感知全文，理解文章大意，了解故事发展情节，然后再进行试填。这是做好完形填空的前提，万万不可省略。如：

In Renee Smith’s classroom, attendance is up, trips to the headmaster’s office are down and students are handing in assignments on time. The Springfield High School teacher says she has seen great ___(65)___since adding a few new students to her class—five Labrador puppies and their father. (上海)

65. A. promotion B. progress C. disturbance D. disappointment

解析:从首句可知，作者直截了当的给考生交待了所要叙述的事情的结果：在Renee Smith 的班上，听课的学生人数增多了，违纪的人数减少了。分析65空可知，该句是从正面的角度阐述了导致这一结果的原因，同时又是下文所陈述内容的总结句。故选B。

(2) 瞻前顾后，避难就易。在理解文章大意的情况下，结合各选项的意义和用法，遵循先易后难的原则，先解决那些自己有把握的问题。对少数难题，暂时跳过，或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示，或许一个在前面不能解的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗。

(3) 复读全文，解决残敌。借助已经补全的空白，我们对全文有了更清楚的理解，可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。我们根据短文中句与句，段与段的逻辑关系进行判断，采用排除法逐步缩小范围，最终得出所有答案等方法。对于实在无从下手的个别题目，我们则完全可以凭语感来确定：把几个选项逐一放在空格内念两遍，哪个念起来顺口、舒服就选哪个。如：

I’ve ___50___to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new ___51___, so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start ___52___ the limits of things boys and men used to dominate(主宰). (北京)

50. A. chosen B. tried C. learned D. promised

51. A. levels B. points C. steps D. parts 52. A. reading B. accepting C. pushing D. setting

解析： 从语法角度看， 50题的四个选项都正确， 但从上下句子之间的语境及逻辑角度推测，只有B才能说出作者当时的心理状态。51题为四个名词，与上下文的似乎没有多大关系，只有根据作者的心理活动句意的推断，方可做出正确选择，说明女孩能做人们认为不能做的事，这是人们应该达到的一种新的思想境界（水平），故选A。 52题是较难的一个小题，考生只有通过分析本句句意，经过认真推敲，才能选出pushing the limits of things…意为“摆脱男人们过去主宰的事情的”， 故选C。

(4) 再次复读，弥补疏漏

全部做好后,考生务必要结合自己的选择答案重新阅读短文内容, 注意围绕文章中心，查看文章内容是否通顺、结构是否完整、搭配是否有误等，切忌死抠语法或断章取义。要着眼于全局，从宏观上考虑。

17．B 演奏，played接乐器类名词，showed表演，acted扮演。

18. B Man, Woman填于此空与全文没有任何联系，由continue可推断答案应为Young。 19．C hip—hop和salsa都是音乐，音乐只能听到。
