第 15 讲 完形填空
1.了解完形填空的解题方法与技巧。
2.进行完形填空真题训练。
完形填空是全国各地高考英语必考题型之一,它要求考生能够读懂一篇有空缺的文章的大意,根据
已学知识,在整体理解的基础上,推导出未知内容。它具有主观性测试和客观性测试的双重优点。它既
可以在语篇中考查考生英语基础知识,即词汇、语法知识,又可考查考生运用语言知识的能力,如词语
搭配、习惯用法、词义辨析、语言交际、文化背景和社会风俗等。同时它还要求考生必须具备良好的把
握上下文行文逻辑和篇章结构的能力。
1.高考完形填空题的文章选材广泛,注重原汁原味,内容着重体现新课标所要求的“关注学生情感,
提高人文素养”这一人文理念。文章体裁以记叙文为主。
2.文章长度250词左右,一般设空15个,设空平均间距为10个词左右。首句不设空。
3.考查以语篇内容理解为主,注重对文章语境的理解和把握。题型按语境进行分类,可分为句内层
次题、句组层次题和语篇层次题。语法考查很少见。
4.选项以考查实词为主,如名词、动词、形容词等;虚词为辅,如介词、连词等。
5.此类完形填空多采用“记叙+议论”模式,先叙述后议论,后者往往是有感而发,是事件的主题
升华。因此最后1-3段议论部分要与前边记叙部分相结合才能做出最佳选择。
满分技巧:
通读全文,掌握文章主旨大意,重视首句,了解文章背景。找出文章中的时间,地点,人物,事件,起
因,结果等线索,理清文章的脉络,弄清楚作者的写文章的思路和用意。
(一)利用首句信息,了解文章主旨
完型填空的文章第一句往往是文章的主题句,不设空。把握主题句对于全文的理解有很大帮助。例如:
1.Leaping on the narrow balance beam is not easy. But Lola Walter,a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.To
perfect her skills,Loala_______for four hours a day , five days a week.At the date championships in March, she
finished seventh out of 16 girls.
A. runs B.danced C.trained D.exercised
由But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast,is an expert at it可知她是一名体操运动员,所以空格处应填trained
训练,其他几项不符合语境。
(二)寻找暗示信息,重视语境意义。
完型填空主要考查对语境的理解,所以在做题时要把握全局,进行连贯性思维,要把每个空白处的含义
与前后句的意思联系起来,不要就 空填空。要根据上下文进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。难选的题 通常在
后文有暗示。
如果四个选项形式完全相同,选哪一个从句子结构,意思上,语法上都说得通,这时就需要注意上下文的语境,来区分,确定正确答案。
例如:
1.It runs in the ___1____. Michael’s father always helped the poor as he believed it made everyone
happier.Machile Greenberg feels the same. A pair of gloves may be a small thing, but it make a big difference in
winter.
A. city B.family C. neighbourhood D. company
这是一道语境题,仅看第一个句子,四个选项都可以。但后文讲Michile 的父亲总是帮助穷人,因为他认
为那会使每个人更快乐。Michile 感觉一样,所以通过父子两个人做同样的事,推断出应该是B.
(三)识别语篇标志,理清逻辑关系
表示结构层次的语篇标志词有:firstly secondly, thirdly,finally 等。
表示逻辑关系的语篇标志词有:thus, therefore,so
表示改变话题的标志语有: by the way
表示递进关系的标志语有:besides, what’s more, furthermore(而且)
表示转折关系的有:but,however,while, on the other hand, although等。
表示事件关系的有:meanwhile,before, when,until, later 等。
通过这些 语篇标志语,可以快速弄清楚上下文的关系,确定答案。
For those people, he is“Gloves”Greenberg. How did he get that name?He looks like any other
businessman,wearing a suit carrying a briefcase .But he’s_______.His briefcase always has some gloves.
A. calm B. different C. crazy D. similar
由He looks like any other businessman, wearing a suit carrying a briefcase(他看起来和任何其他商人一样,
穿着西装,拿着公文包)But he’s_______,可知前后是对比关系,所以But后应该是“不同”,所以选B.
(四)利用原词复现,寻找近义词
完型填空试题中,有些词语本身或它的同义词重复出现在语篇中,因此可以通过上下文联系找到,确定
答案。如:
1.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion. He would__1_the loudest over fun and be the saddest
anyone’s___2__.
1. A. speak B.using C.question D.laugh
2. A.misfortune B. disbelief C.dishonesty D.mistake
根据第一个空后的fun,可知应用D;第二个空前面的saddest,可知应用A不幸的。相同意思复现。
(五)巧用背景常识,简化判断过程。
I said that I didn't know how to get back into town. In silence he started driving.
I ran back to my car and drove behind him. Finally I recognized a familiar street. As I turned to head home, the car
disappeared. Then I___my driveway when the warning light for my gas tank turned on.
A.pulled into B.drove away C. ran across D.fount out
解析:影响这个题目正确作答的关键是对空后面的driveway的含义的理解driveay指的是the hard area or
road between y:our house and the street,(美)(从建筑物、车库等通至道路的)私用车道车道((英)drive)。而
中国家庭大多数是不存在这样的一个driveway的。本句意思是当邮箱的耗油警示灯亮起的时候,我也到
家了,所以选pull into.正确答案为A
(六)注意固定搭配:固定搭配主要是指动词与介词、副词,名词、形容词后接介词,介词与名词构成
的搭配。只需要广大考生在背诵单词的时候要掌握其常考搭配。例1
In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introduce a ___
bill that will propose making payment to witnesses illegal. (2001)
A. sketch B. rough C. preliminary D. draft
解析:draft 常用于法律术语中,draft bill 意为草案,法案的意思,是习惯搭配。因此,D为正确答案。
由此看见,本题并不难,关键在于我们是不是对这个短语了解。所以,需要同学们平时在常用搭配方面
多些努力。

the register was a white-haired woman, who had already begun to ____151____ her goods and was holding out
cash to pay for them.
Then something ____152____ happened. Sometimes it’s a customer with multiple coupons (优惠券) or
someone who forgot to weigh a piece of fruit, or someone searching for change. ____153____ enough. One
waited. But today, it was quite different.
For whatever ____154____, this woman didn’t have enough money. So she began the ____155____ of
choosing which items to keep and which to ____156____ to the cashier for re-shelving. She ____157____ over
each one before deciding on keeping or giving it up. We waited. Longer lines grew quickly.
The process went on and on. Finally, the woman turned back to us as she left, ____158____ and apologetic.
We waved off her frustration, for it could happen to anyone. We were honestly showing our ____159____.
But I had no idea just how the three ahead of me felt until their _____160_____ came. The lady with the
teens asked the cashier to add all the items that had been _____161_____ to her bill as quickly as possible. Then
the two boys _____162_____ through the exit with the small bag of groceries.
When they returned, it was clear that their _____163_____ had been accomplished. “That was very nice!” Isaid. The people behind also showed _____164_____ smiles.

(2023春·江苏盐城·高二盐城市第一中学校联考期中)My daughter loved dancing until she didn’t love
it. After an ____166____ first year, I noticed her interest fading week by week. Then one day, she slowly walked
to me before class and asked if she could just ____167____ it.
My first reaction was to advise her to “finish what you start”. ____168____, sticking with something
difficult can teach perseverance, discipline and confidence. But watching my first grader ____169____ herself
into each ballet position, I started to question how much ____170____ that “blanket advice” made. Is it really in
my kid’s best ____171____, or even practical, to make her stick to every commitment through until she reaches a
bitter end? What if there are different but ____172____ valuable qualities, which can be gained by ____173____
the things that are not right for her.
After a few days’ consideration, she decided dance wasn’t for her — a choice I ____174____. Quitting is
never a black and white issue. Sometimes, it means _____175_____ a barrier in your way to love something else.
In my daughter’s case, ending dance made space for her new hobbies, such as horseback riding and Girl Scouts.
She’s into them for now, but it is okay if that _____176_____ changes.
As adults, we are accustomed to _____177_____ the power of saying yes, but what about saying no? The
ability to recognize when something isn’t an _____178_____ investment of our time or energy is also important.
As my daughter gets older, I want her to feel confident to _____179_____ something that’s no longer meeting herneeds. She shouldn’t be held back by the thought that she must finish something at any cost _____180_____
because she has started.
