专题2.2 高考英语完形填空（二）
一、考情分析
一）句内层次题、句组层次题&语篇层次题
近几年高考试题中的完形填空有了一些新的变化，试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽，仔细分析近五年的
高考完形填空题，我们发现，完形填空的文章体裁主要是记叙文，有时是夹叙夹议文。缺少故事情节的议
论文增多，综合难度不断提高，特别强调对语篇及上下文的理解和应用。内容主要是传播知识，传递正能
量，可读性较强。题型分为句内层次题、句组层次题和语篇层次题等三个类型，以前面两种题型为主，后
一种题型为辅。完形填空的设空以语境题和词汇题为主，较难的语篇层次题仅有3题左右。这就要求学生
在做完形填空题时，一定要对语篇及上下文加强理解，努力提高完形填空的得分，因为它在整个高考试卷
中的分值比重也是很高的，有15分之多。它也是学生拉开距离的题型，在平时的学习中应该多练习。
解题策略
很多学生在内心深处对完形填空都有一种恐惧感。我们不能采用常规的方法来阅读这种“残缺的文
章”，要学会跳读，也就是指以尽可能快的速读阅读，迅速获取文章大意或中心思想。换句话说，跳读要
求学生有选择地进行阅读，跳过某些不太好把握的细节，先抓住文章的大概内容，从而加快阅读速度。跳
读通常以标题、关键词、中心句等为主要阅读对象。
完形填空主要考查考生短文阅读理解的能力，实际上就是通过已知信息破解未知信息。这需要学生从
完形填空文章所包含的庞杂的已知信息体系中，从字里行间寻找一切线索，去理清句子之间、段落之间的
关系，分析、查找、排查无关的已知信息，定位和查找出与每处具体的填空相关联的已知信息，再根据这
些信息来把握全文的中心大意，然后才能正确答题。这里将介绍句内层次题、句组层次题和语篇层次题三
种类型题目的常用解题技巧，看看是如何利用已知信息来确定未知信息的。
句内层次题
1.利用习惯搭配和固定结构解题
完形填空中经常会考查一些习惯搭配和固定结构，这时学生就需要运用习惯搭配和固定结构来解题。
平时要加强固定搭配，常用句型的学习和记忆，这些搭配包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及
形容词与名词的搭配等，同时要根据内容选择正确的短语搭配。
例题：
(2023全国乙卷) She had to 42 (pack up) her bedroom in Virginia. She had to say 43 to her two
dogs and to the beach, where she loved to 4 4 (ride) waves on her board.
43. A. goodbye B. hello C. thanks D. no
【分析】本题可以利用固定搭配解题。Say hello to 意为“向……问好”； say thanks to 意为“向……
道谢”； say no to 意为“向……说不”；say good-bye to... 意为“向……道别……”。根据上下文意思
来判断，这里应该是向两只狗狗道别。故选A。2.利用生活常识和文化背景知识解题
完形填空涉猎的文章五花八门，体裁也较广泛，文中往往渗透着文化、科学、历史、地理、风俗、民
情等方面的知识。学生在做题时，应该努力迅速在大脑中搜寻相关知识，积极地利用自己的生活常识和所
了解的文化背景知识，巧妙地对其加以运用，当然还要注意中西文化的一些差异，这样就会大大简化复杂
的分析与判断过程，节省宝贵的时间，顺利地沿着作者的思路阅读下去，同时也会挑选出最佳答案。
例题1：
(2023·全国新课标II卷) It just 44 (happened) that I was planning another PNP flight with another pilot,
Karen, who 45 (offered) to take Tiffy from Kansas City to Virginia. What I was to do was fly to Topeka to
46 Tiffy.
46. A. see off B. look for C. hand over D. pick up
【分析】本题可以利用生活常识和文化背景知识解题。句意：我要做的就是飞到托皮卡去接Tiffy。A. see
off为……送行；B. look for寻找；C. hand over移交；D. pick up接载。根据“What I was to do was fly to
Topeka”和常识可知，作者需要飞到托皮卡去接Tiffy。故选D。
例题2：
(2022·全国英语乙卷)Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek.For them,
there’s something highly exciting about 41 someone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be
seen.
41. A. following B. taking C. escaping D. directing
【分析】本题可以利用生活常识解题。根据常理可知，孩子们之所以喜欢玩“捉迷藏”的游戏，是因为当
他们藏起来的时候，感觉自己能够躲避(escaping)寻找者的目光，所以非常紧张刺激。A. following 跟随；
B. taking 做(某个动作，和名词连用)；C. escaping 躲避；D. directing “引导、指导”。故选C。
3.利用对应成分分析法解题
完形填空一般不是很长，信息的传递是非常紧凑的，文章的上下文之间以及句子内部之间往往存在着
一定的逻辑关系，句子的各个成分之间也形成了一定的对应关系。学生可以根据这种逻辑关系找出与未知
填空相对应的已知成分，将它作为线索，通过它推断出未知填空的答案。对应成分分析法常把两种对立的
事物或同一事物的两个不同方面并列出来加以比较或对比。高考完形填空题常常利用句子之间的对比关系
或者同一个句子的不同部分之间的对比关系设计题目。
例题：
(2023 年全国甲卷) But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were 26 (worried) because they were so
misshapen: not at all like the nice, round, 27 things you get in a supermarket.
27. A. simple B. real C. shiny D. fun
【分析】本题可以利用对应成分分析法解题。
But when we looked at the tomatoes, ... they were so misshapen: not at all like the nice, round, 27 things
you意义相近
get in a supermarket.
从上述分析可看出，when是从属连词，连接时间状语从句，意为“当......时候”。故27空填的词应为
nice, round的意义相近词，故C项shiny“闪亮的”正确。
4.利用逻辑关系解题
近几年高考英语完形的最大特点是重点考查语境理解。所谓语境，就是指文章上下文之间的联系，它
包括文章语气的一致性、意思的连贯性、表述的合理性、论证的逻辑性等。正因为完形主要考查学生对语
境的理解能力，所以设空的前后多有暗示(后文暗示前文的居多)。做题时，一定要从整体上把握文章的内
容，弄清文章的结构和文章的内在逻辑关系，结合语境辨析所给选项，从中选出最符合语境的选项。此方
法是通过分析未知填空前后文已知信息之间的逻辑关系来确定答案，主要应用于完形填空的两类题型：一
是考查连接词和起连接词作用的短语；二是考查上下文的逻辑关系。
例题：
(2021·新高考全国Ⅱ卷) The 60-year-old is not an actor, but a 42 . However, he is more devoted to his “
43 ” (role) than any real actor.
In the 1990s, a group of thieves often sold stolen goods with the help of some beggars. ... “As long as I get
close enough, no criminal can ...” he said.
42. A. lawyer B. doctor C. policeman D. businessman
【分析】本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。根据下文中的“a group of thieves often sold stolen goods”和“As long
as I get close enough, no criminal can...”可知，抓罪犯的应该是警察，所以这位60岁的老人不是演员，王先
生是一名警察(policeman)。故选C。
5.利用语境暗示分析法解题
完形填空题对文章故事情节发展线索的逻辑考查仍是重点，暗示与上下对应的思维方法，是突破此类
完形填空最关键的思维方式。上下文语境具体体现为：全文的中心主线和主题、作者的态度倾向和评价、
上下文语篇衔接、句际和段际关系。在句内层次中，我们通常可以通过上下文语境，即根据已知信息，推
断出正确答案。学生在做题时要有全局观念，进行连贯性思维，做题时要把每个空白处的含义与前后句的
意思联系起来理解，进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。难选之处前后通常多有暗示，这种暗示多为后面暗示前面。
例题：
(2023年全国甲卷) But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were 26 because they were so misshapen: not at
all like the nice, round, 27 (shiny) things you get in a supermarket.
26. A. worried B. moved C. thrilled D. bored
分析：本题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。句意：但当我们看着那些西红柿时，我们是担心的，因为
它们是非常畸形的：一点也不像你在超市里买到的那种漂亮的、圆的、闪亮的东西。A. worried担心的；
B. moved感动的；C. thrilled兴奋的；D. bored.感到厌倦的。根据后文“because they were so misshapen”可知，西红柿是畸形的，所以作者一家很担心是否能吃。故选A项。
句组层次题
1.利用语义复现解题
复现是一种语义衔接手段，它通过原词、同义词或近义词、反义词、上义词、下义词、同源词或同根
词等重复出现来表达某一概念，使整篇文章上下连贯、有机地衔接在一起。因此，学生可根据文章的具体
情况，理解文章的结构和语境，利用文章中的语义复现现象来选择正确的答案。
例题1：
(2022·全国英语乙卷) They simply 5 8 (insist on) mutual (相互的) recognition and regard. Our 5 9
(findings) suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanket over her head,it is not a result of
egocentrism. In fact,children consider this method 6 0 when others use it.
60. A. tentative B. impressive C. creative D. effective
【分析】本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词的反义词复现。A. tentative踌躇的；B. impressive印象
深的；C. creative有创造力的；D. effective有效的。根据上文内容以及上文出现的 For a long time, this
ineffective hiding method was... 中的ineffective一词可知,事实上,当别人用这个方法时,孩子们就会认为这
个方法是有效的(effective)。故选D。
例2(2016·全国Ⅱ)I turned around and saw a 56. pleasant woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a
safe trip. I was 57. speechless！Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 58 .
58. A. calm B. nice C. proud D. clever
分析 本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为反义词复现，上文中的cold(冷酷的)和选项中的nice(友好
的，和蔼的)互为反义词。最后两句句意为：我之前怎么会认为她冷冰冰的呢？哦，瑞妮是这么友好。故选
B。
2.利用作者态度或感情色彩关联解题
在高考完形填空文章中，我们一定要在快速阅读文章的过程中，仔细找出能够反映作者态度和感情色
彩的重要词汇，它们往往是名词、形容词、副词或动词等。这些词汇通常是我们做题时重要的参照线索，
可以帮助我们快速确定某些题目的正确答案。
例题：
(2022·新课标全国I卷) We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor. As we all sat there 52 , a
fisherman pulled up, threw us a rope and towed (拖) us back. We were 53 (safe).
52. A. patiently B. tirelessly C. doubtfully D. helplessly
【分析】本题可以利用作者态度或感情色彩关联解题。句意：当我们无助地坐在那里时，一个渔夫停了下
来，扔给我们一根绳子并把我们拖了回来。A. patiently耐心地；B. tirelessly不知疲倦地；C. doubtfully怀疑
地；D. helplessly无助地。根据上文“We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor.”可知，在天
气恶劣的情况下船无法启动了，作者与家人十分无助地坐着。故选D项。3.利用逻辑关系解题
在句组层次题中，利用逻辑关系解题同样是一种重要的方法。
例题：
(2022·全国英语甲卷) Was he proposing (求婚)? I liked him too, but so 49 (calm)? He poured water
from a bottle into his hand and offered it to my dogs. 5 0 , I began to fall for him.
50. A. By the way B. In that case C. By all means D. In that moment
【分析】本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。根据上一句 “He poured water from a bottle into his hand and offered
it to my dogs.(他把瓶子里的水倒在自己手心里喂给我的狗喝)”可知作者在那一刻(In that moment)爱上了
Steve。
4.利用语境暗示分析法解题
在句组层次题中，有些题目我们往往也需要通过上下文语境，即根据已知信息，推断出正确答案。
例题1：
(2023·全国新课标II卷) They had to move to Virginia but they were on a very tight 41 . They could not
afford to pay for 42 (transportation) for their dog, Tiffy, and 43 (desperately) wanted to take her with
them.
41. A. turn B. budget C. schedule D. connection
【分析】本题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。句意：他们不得不搬到弗吉尼亚，但他们的预算非常紧张。
A. turn转折点；B. budget预算；C. schedule时间表；D. connection联系。根据下文“They could not afford
to pay for 4 2 for their dog, Tiffy, ......”可知，这个家庭的预算非常紧张。故选B。
例题2：
(2022·新高考全国II卷) Another time, we rented a boat in Vallecito Lake. The sky was clear when we 47 ,
but storms move in fast in the mountains, and this one quickly 48 (interrupted) our peaceful morning trip.
47. A. signed up B. calmed down C. checked out D. headed off
【分析】本题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。句意：我们出发时，天空很晴朗，但山中风暴来势汹汹，风
暴很快中断了我们平静的晨间旅行。A. signed up注册，报名；B. calmed down冷静下来；C. checked out退
房，结账离开；D. headed off启程，出发。根据上文“The sky was clear”以及下文“but storms move in fast
in the mountains”可知，天气突然变化，出发时还天气晴朗。故选D项。
语篇层次题
1. 利用语义复现解题
在语篇层次题中，我们同样可以利用语义复现解题。语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词
复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象，如与语篇话题
相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现，结构同现，同义同现，修饰同现，因果同现等。
例题1：(2021·高考英语全国甲卷) Burchill said in a recent letter of 51 to the 4-star hotel. “The seagulls
immediately went 52 (wild). They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to 53 (get
out) at the same time, and pepperoni—everywhere.
51. A. application B. apology C. request D. invitation
【分析】本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词变形复现。根据下文出现的“I come to you, 57 ,
apologize for the damage...”可知，Burchill写的是一封道歉信。故选B。
例题2：
(2020·新高考全国II卷) When he was 52 (safely) outside, the only 53 (help) in sight was a policeman.
Grant told him about the 54 and they rushed into the smoky building.
54. A. woman B. door C. car D. baby
【分析】本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词复现。格兰特把婴儿和男孩救出来了，女人还没有出来，
所以他告诉警察那位女士还在里面。上文“He kicked it wide open, ... woman in a wheelchair .... The woman
looked at him ...”中，说明还有一名女士在里面，这个woman是54空的原词复现，故选A项。
2. 利用总分结构对照分析法解题
完形填空往往采用总分对照结构，这种结构可以为我们提供重要的解题线索。因为完形填空的第一空
一般不会设空，它会让学生了解文章体裁、文章大致内容，因此对第一句的理解，尤其重要。
例题：
(2015·安徽高考) In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one. The
36 (problem) is that countries around the world have growing mountains of 37 (rubbish) because people
are throwing out more rubbish than ever before.
How did we 3 8 a throwaway society? First of all, it is now easier to 3 9 (replace) an object than to
spend time and money to repair it. 40 (Thanks to) modern manufacturing (制造业) and technology,
companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively. Products are plentiful and 4 1 (cheap).
Another cause is our 42 (love) of disposable (一次性的) products. As 43 (busy) people, we are
always looking for 44 (ways) to save time and make our lives easier. Companies 45 (produce)
thousands of different kinds of disposable products: paper plates, plastic cups, and cameras, to name a few.
Our appetite for new products also 46 (contributes) to the problem. We are 47 (addicted to)
buying new things. Advertisements persuade us that 4 8 (newer) is better and that we will be happier with the
latest products. The result is that we 4 9 (throw away) useful possessions to make room for new ones.
38. A. face B. become C. observe D. change
【分析】本题可以利用总分结构对照分析法解题。本题在一个总述句“How did we __38__ a throwaway
society？”中。之前文章在描述一个现象：人们用旧物品后扔掉，造成垃圾堆积如山。从文章结构来看，
从本题开始出现了另一个意群，“How did we 38 a throwaway society？”为这个意群的总述句，即我
们如何成为了一个丢弃的社会呢？因此，仅仅看到本题所在句子包含的信息是不够的，还要看其他地方的
相关已知信息，这个关键信息就在分述部分。只要总结分述部分，本题就迎刃而解了。故选B。
总述 --- How did we 38 a throwaway society?
↓分述：First of all, it is now easier to ...
Another cause is our ...
Our appetite for new products also ...
总结一下分述部分，很容易判断出第38题的答案就是B项become。因为，下面的分述句都是在分析
形成的原因。
3. 利用逻辑关系解题
在语篇层次题中，利用逻辑关系也是一种重要的解题方法。尝试从逻辑关系的高度整体上把握，就会
不无惊喜地发现逻辑关系才是征服完形填空的最佳途径。逻辑关系常常隐藏在句子中、句与句之间以及段
落的衔接中。通过逻辑关系的方法，我们可以通过确切、具体的线索，把答案的逻辑意义推测出来，从而
在答案中寻找表现了相同逻辑意义的选项。它包括：(1) 句中逻辑关系；(2)句间逻辑关系；(3) 段间逻辑
关系。
例题：
(2021·高考英语全国乙卷) One afternoon, while 45 (attempting) to get into bed she collapsed (倒下)
from what was 46 discovered to be a heart attack. The collapse was disastrous, 47 (requiring)
the emergency medical team and good teamwork.
46. A. eventually B. fortunately C. casually D. secretly
【分析】本题是典型的考查上下文逻辑关系的题目，可以利用逻辑关系解题。根据上文的get into bed she
collapsed可知，这位女病人尝试上床时摔倒了。后面句子中，根据前半句摔得非常严重可知，需要紧急医
疗队和良好的团队合作。因此此处表示摔倒的原因最后被诊断出是心脏病发作。A. eventually最后；B.
fortunately幸运地；C. casually随意地；D. secretly秘密地。通过上述对本填空前后文已知信息的分析，发
现上下文是明显的因果关系，故选A。
二）完形填空考查的两大能力
根据完形填空的命题要求和命题目的可知，完形填空主要考查学生两大方面的能力，即阅读理解能力
以及在阅读理解基础上的英语知识(主要包括语法和词汇)运用能力。
1. 阅读理解能力
完形填空既然是以一篇短文为背景，首先要求学生对整篇文章内容在有一些空格的情形下，要有准确
的理解，而且它所考查的阅读理解能力和阅读理解题还是有一些不同之处的，它包括三个层次的能力：
(1)对文章整体(文章中心主线和整体结构)的把握和理解；
(2)对上下文或句子之间关系的把握和理解；
(3)对句子内部结构及意义的把握和理解。
完形填空之所以考查这三个层次的能力，其实是由未知填空的相关已知信息点的分布规律决定的：
(1)分布于文章的整体结构之中；
(2)分布于上下句之中；
(3)分布于句子内部。从上述完形填空所要求的三个层次的能力来看，完形填空要求学生对文章进行“精读”，即学生对文
章从整体到每个句子的内部细节都要完全把握。
2. 英语知识运用能力
从完形填空所涉及的范围来看，它考查学生对英语基础知识，主要是语法和词汇的运用能力，可归纳
为以下几点：
(1)词汇辨析及运用
完形填空考查的重点是实词，虚词相对来说考查的数量较少。实词是指有实在意义、能够独立充当句
子成分的词，如名词、动词、形容词、副词、代词、数词等；虚词则没有实在意义，在句子中不能独立充
当句子成分，如连词、介词、冠词等。同时，学生还需要明白的是，高考完形填空中考查词汇的题目有几
个很明显的特点：近义词汇(如way, method, means; road, course, approach)；形似词汇(如adopt, adapt)；近义
不同形词汇的不同用法和搭配(如see, look, stare, glance, watch, observe)；常用词汇的偏义项考查(如stand意
为“货摊，摊位”时，see意为“理解”时，observe意为“遵守规则、法律”时)，此时要结合特定的语境
暗示选出最佳选项。所以，在备考过程中要加强对词汇掌握的广度和深度，不仅要知晓词汇的基本意义与
基本用法，更重要的是要牢固掌握词汇的重要偏义项及其特殊用法。
(2)语法知识
高考完形填空以语境填空考查为主，很少单纯、孤立地考查语法点，而是比较注重在具体语境中考查
学生对语法知识点的熟练理解与正确使用。对于这类题，考生可以利用平时所学的词汇知识，分析单词
（组）的使用范围、动词的及物和不及物，并利用句子结构、句式特点等知识全面衡量所有选项排除干扰。
高考完形填空考查的语法项目点主要有：动词的时态、情态动词、名词、代词等；名词性从句(主语从句、
宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句)、定语从句、状语从句、虚拟语气、强调句型、省略句等高中阶段的重
要语法点。
(3)固定搭配、句型及习语
高考英语完形填空除了考查上述几方面的内容之外，对词汇知识的考查，主要体现在习惯用法和同义
词、近义词的辨析两方面。还会考查一些较为简单的固定搭配、英语地道习惯用语及固定句型。如：see ...
as (把……视为，看作)；look out for (当心)；make it (成功做成某事)；seeing (that). .. (考虑到)等。相应地，
在备考过程中要有意识地加强对固定搭配、句型及习惯用语的积累和掌握。所以，考生平时应掌握好习惯
用法。对词义辨析题的考查有加大力度的趋势。要做好这类题，需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词
语辨析能力，特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力。
二、真题回顾

The teenage years of an individual is marked by evaluating one’s values, experiencing a shift in outlooks, and

The issue of teenage curfews is widely debated in the United States, where this method is still rather 4 ,

starting from 11 p.m. or midnight. This is believed to protect them from crimes committed after nightfall, as well
as from breaking the law, and there exists serious evidence 6 this belief. For example, when New Orleans
enabled a dusk-til-dawn curfew in 1994, the rates of juvenile crime were reported to fall more than 20 percent.
Even more impressive 7 were recorded in Dallas, which reported a 30-percent decrease in violent juvenile
crime, and a 21-percent decrease in the overall rates of crimes committed by young people (The New York Times).
On the other hand, curfews can be seen as a preventive measure that rob young people of their rights, 8
their freedom. This opinion is 9 supported by the fact that curfew violations (违规) and the respective
charges are among the most often committed juvenile crimes in the United States. 10 , there were reports
claiming that police arrested more non-white teenagers for curfew violations. All this can cause a teenager to
believe they have crossed a psychological line dividing them as criminals; thus, such teenagers may start to see
themselves as outlaws, which can 11 committing more serious crimes than a curfew offense.
What is important for a parent to remember when establishing a curfew for their children is that a teenager’s
misjudged view of certain 12 may cause them to misbehave in some other way; this is proved by research
conducted by the University of Minnesota, according to which teens tend to protest against what they see as 13

missed my bus to school. My mind raced with angry thoughts about him and I sighed all the way to school.

every Wednesday with his 5 or answer on it. He stressed that the card was our 6 to class on Tuesdays.
Now, I raced down the hallway, ten minutes late to class. Just outside the door, I took out an index card and
wrote on it “I am the son of an IDIOT!”, as I could only think about the 7 I’d just had with my dad. Then I
dashed into the room, handed the card to Professor Simon and took my seat. The moment I reached my seat, I

Wednesday morning I got to the class early and hid in the back. Professor Simon began 10 our thought
