完形填空解题技巧
完形填空：它既考查对语法、词汇、习语、句型、搭配等基础知识的综合运用能力，又考查对短文的阅
读理解能力。其中包括在具体的语境中灵活运用语言知识的能力，根据试题内容进行正确的逻辑推理，
综合判断和分析概括的能力
解题技巧
（一）做题前
1、总体把握：通读完形填空的短文，跳过空格快速阅读，了解全篇的主要内容。切不可把宝贵的时间浪
费在个别字句推敲上。
2、重视主题句：完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题，但短文的主题句，往往在每段文章的首句，有时也
出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等，这是深入了解全文的“窗口”，甚至能
以语句为立足点，从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。
3、语境联想：利用上下文的提示，用学过的知识和已有的生活经验，扫清部分词汇理解上的障碍。
（二）做题时：解题技巧
一般说来讲解以下几种解题技法：
1、词语搭配
①因搭配关系而产生的一般性词汇。e.g. watch TV/play the piano
② 词序和意义皆以固定的复合词和动词短语。e.g. take off有“脱下(衣服)，(飞机)起飞
③因词组而构成的常见的句式：e.g. It is +形容词+不定式，
【注意】在搭配判断时：
①要区别外形相近而意义不同的搭配。e.g. look for, look after, look up等。
②要区别形不相似而意义相近的搭配。
e.g. I paid 12 pounds for the dictionary. The book cost me a lot. It took three men to lift the box.
句中都有“付出、花费、需要”的意思。译成汉语时似乎相通。但更要注意它们之间的搭配变化
③要注意单个词组的多义性。
e.g. take off 有“脱下(衣服)，(飞机)起飞，匆匆离开，取下，休假等多种含意。
2、语法判定
①要注意出现频率较高的词类题，依次为动词、介词、代词、连词、形容词、副词。选择各类词时，要
注意以下几个方面：
A.名词的选择，应联系文章主题及空格前后出现的有关词，注意其性和数的一致。
B.动词的选用，要注意词义和惯用搭配，还要区分近义词之间的用法差异及所给词的形式。
1
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C.选择介词，应注意其惯用法，特别是与动词或其他词组成的固定搭配。
D.选择代词，要注意性、数、格是否准确。
E.选择连词，要注意分析前后句或上下文的逻辑关系。
F.选择形容词和副词，要注意词义的区别，用于比较时，还要注意词形变化。
②要注意句法题，搞清句子的种类、类型、省略和倒装
A.句子的种类包括陈述句、疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。一般以考查疑问句、感叹句的词序为多见，其次
是祈使句的零时态等。
B.句子的类型有简单句、并列句、复合句和并列复合句。中考考查要点是在复合句里的状语从句、宾语
从句和直接/间接引语，也考查简单的定语从句。
C.句子的省略与倒装很少考查，却要看懂，不能引起对文章的曲解。
③在语法适用方面，可以用择优法和排除法
A.择优法是把各选项代入短文中，选出在词义上符合要求，且在语法上又没有语病的答案。
B.排除法是在代入选项时如发现选项单词意义不对，或词与词搭配不妥，或存在语法错误，或与上下文
有矛盾，则迅速排除不合适的选项，剩下的就是正确答案。
例1、主谓一致判断法
在英语句子里，谓语受主语支配，启动此必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致，这就叫主谓一致。我
们在做完形填空题时，会经常遇到要靠主谓一致判断法来确定选项的情况。寻找其规律，大致可分为三
个原则：即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就近原则。例：
...A short time ago , a test _____ given in the United States. ...The results showed that if a person _____ a
right breakfast, he or she will work better than he or she who has no breakfast ...
1. A.is B.are C.was D.were
2. A.eat B.eats C.eating D.ate
例2、固定句式判断法
固定句式，就是英语中一些常见的固定句型，像：there be举行;not...until句型;It takes/took sb. +金
钱/时间+to do sth.句型;It’s +形容词+(for sb.)to do sth,句型;too...to句型等。记住并灵活运用这些固定句式，
在做完型填空时是很有用的，可以轻松快速帮助我们排除一些干扰因素，更快、更准的选择答案。
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel closer to someone. _____ is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do
things with...
1.A.It B.He C.There D.Someone
例3、上下文暗示法
上下文暗示法分为上文语境暗示法和下文语境暗示两种。在做完型填空是，我们会经常遇到此类题
2
学科网（北京）股份有限公司目，若无上下文的提示，我们根本无法做出正确的选择;但是我们可以根据上下文的一些提示性的引导词
判断上下文和空格部分的关系，从而做出正确的选择。
Mark Twain, a famous American writer, was once traveling in France. He went by train to Dijon. He was
very tired and wanted to _____. He asked the conductor to wake him up when the train got to Dijon. But first he
said he was a heavy sleeper...
1.A.read B.write C.drink D.sleep
例4、逻辑推理法
逻辑推理法也叫语境推测法，是我们在做完形填空题时使用的十分重要的方法之一。完型填空是一
篇有完整内容的文章，各行各段之间有着逻辑上的必然联系。在所提供的选项中，有的从语法角度是正
确的，从语义上考虑就会自相矛盾，出现不合逻辑的现象。这时应从文章和句子入手，对语法无误的几
个选项通过分析对比，选出最符合上下文内在联系的答案。
When you wave a friend you are using sign(手势)languages. When you smile at someone, you mean to be
_____. When you put one finger in front of your _____, you mean “Be quiet.”
Yet, people in different countries may use different sign languages. Once an English-man was Italy. He could
speak a little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt _____ and went into a restaurant...
1.A.well B.friendly C.fine D.careful
2.A.eyes B.legs C.mouth D.head
3.A.hungry B.tired C.cold D.ill
例5、词义辨析法
词义辨析法考查的面广，该内容也是英语学习中的一个难点;在完型填空中出现这一类题目，如果要
求做到准确选择，必须在一定的语境或句子中理解，这种考查方式和辨析也是目前完形填空题在中考中
考查的一个重点和趋势，所以这一方法是我们必须要掌握的。词义辨析法包括各种词性的考查，如名
词、介词、代词、动词、形容词等。
In England, people don’t like _____ very much. You can go on a bus, _____ on a train, and people just sit
looking _____ the windows. Often they read. They read books and newspapers. But they don’t talk...
1.A.laughing B.going out C.talking D.playing
2.A.or B.and C.either D.but
3.A.from B.through C.at D.out of
例6、固定搭配法
固定句型和短语搭配不仅是学习的难点，也是完型填空测试的重点。固定搭配形式较多，有名词短
语搭配、动词短语搭配、介词短语搭配等，这些固定搭配都是语言在长期的发展和演变过程中形成的，
是语言的精华，我们只有在平时学习中认真积累，做题时才能得心应手。做这类题时，不需要特别的分

学科网（北京）股份有限公司析，就能锁定正确的答案。
From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evening and weekends they are
free and _____ themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part _____ sports. This is decided by
their own interests ...
1.A.love B.work C.enjoy D.play
2.A.at B.with C.on D.in
易错题解题技巧
一、前后照应
利用上下文信息，选择或填写正确的词是完型填空解题时最常用的方法之一。在做四选一的完型填空
时，我们有时会发现每一个选项从语法角度来讲都可以说得通，遇到这种情况，我们应细读上下文，正
确答案会在上下文中得到提示。试看以下例题：
[例1] What do I remember about my childhood? There were good things and bad things. We used to live______ ,
and my parents always got up early in the morning to feed the cows and sheep.
A. in a town B. on a farm C. on a busy street D. in a city
[例 2]I always remember waking up to the smell of the breakfast my mother was cooking. What a wonderful
smell! I used to _______ ,wash quickly and run downstairs. My breakfast would be waiting for me on the table.
A. leave the bed B.lie in bed C. jump out of bed D. get up
二、情感态度
较难题，其中形容词，副词中分为三种情感：
(1) 正情感：happy amazing等
(2) 零情感：fast slow surprising等
(3) 负情感：sad failure等
[例1] Among them, a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had seen him around, and I knew
he was always laughed at. He seemed unsure of himself, and was so pale that it __38__ us to look at him.
38. A. worried B. surprised C. taught D. hurt
三、斟酌词义
在选项中设置四个词性一致、意义相近的词是完型填空命题时常用的手段之一。在做此类题目时，必
须要在特定的语境中选择最佳，或者也可以推敲一些固定的词组搭配来进行选项。在做首字母完型填空
时，尤其应注意空格所缺单词的词性及词组搭配。
[例1]A Japanese manager once said he himself and his workers would all stand while they were having meetings.
Do you _________what he means?
A.think B. guess C. know D. understand
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司[例2] “Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow ,”he said before moving to another table.
All that right, I thought about the 39 from Jeff.
A. advice B. chance C. message D. offer
【解析】D 考点为名词辨析+联系上下文： A. advice指的是忠告，多指医生对病人，长辈对晚辈; C
message 多指口信，转述客观事实不带有主观色彩;B chance 最大的干扰选项 因为下文出现个chance ，
但是chance表示的一种可能性，抽象名词 D offer 作为名词表示提议，联系上文D为最佳答案。
四、中心主旨：
章中最后一句通常为积极的态度或观点。
[例 1]I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by
working as a member of Jeff’s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his
. The fact that it has made a difference in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

in growing thankfulness to my Aunt Marion, I’ve sent her a Father’s Day card.
A. Teachers B. mother C. father D. friends
五、简单逻辑
分为因果，并列，转折，否定。
[例1] For more than sixty years, Aunt Marion didn’t and still don’t think of herself. she is forced to
come up to the front, my aunt will stand in the back in family photos, and she doesn’t think that her efforts have
made much…
A. Unless B. Although C. Since D. Before

[例 2]And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy (奇才) side of me - because I have never seen that face
