二、多维解读
1. 从主题语境上看：涉及“人与社会和人与自我”两大主题；
2. 从体裁/题材上看：选材清一色的为记叙文。主题聚焦 “成长、善意、自我认知、生活温情”等正向主
题，贴近生活，传递正向价值。叙事遵循“开端→发展→高潮→结尾”的经典线性结构，按时间顺序展
开，无倒叙、插叙，逻辑清晰：开端：交代故事背景；发展：描述事件过程；高潮：核心转折或关键结
果；结尾：升华主题或表达感悟。
3. 从命题特点上看：文章长度230 词左右，设15 空，设空平均间距为15 个词左右，首句不设空。设空以
情节层层推进为引领，注重考查考生对文章上下文语境的理解和主旨的把握。设空的题型可分为句内层
次题(空格的答案由空格所在句子的语境提供依据)、句组层次题(空格的答案由与空格所在句上下文<绝
大多数为相邻的句子，也有相隔比较远>的句子提供依据)和语篇层次题(空格的答案由整篇文章的主旨或
内涵提供依据)。其中以句组层次题的数量为最(参看真题解析)。
4. 从备选项词性上看：都是实词，名词(39 组)和动词(36 组)为主(占绝对多数)，形容词(12 组)和副词(3 组)
为辅。备选项词汇均不超出课标词汇，但偶尔有对熟词僻义(单词很熟，不知另一意思，常常是词的僻
义)的考查。

解完形填空题，必须先浏览全文，了解短文的主旨，这是绝对不可以省略的一步。
每篇短文总有一定的主题思想，段落之间必然承上启下，前呼后应，句与句之间 也一定紧密相连，
形成一个整体。因此通读全文是要一气呵成，不要中断思路，只要能了解短文的大意就可。某些细节不理
解可以跳过。如果不影响答题，可以置之不理。如果与答题有关，可到具体寻找答案时再琢磨解决。另
外，在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头和结尾以及夹叙夹议文中的议论部分，因为它们能提供主要的信
息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心议题。
1. 语境分析法
语境就是指短文的上下文，“语境分析”包括三种情形：分析上文语境、分析下文语境和分析上下文
语境。利用“语境”命题是完形填空命题的主要手段，着重考查考生根据上下文提供的信息进行分析、推
理、判断的能力。句内层次题和句组层次题的解题都会涉及到运用“语境分析法”。因为，完形填空的的
四个选项大多属于同一词类或同一范畴，考生要作出正确判断，必须重在上下文语境的分析和语篇的整体
理解(为解“语篇层次题”进行铺垫)。“语境分析法”是解完形填空题最重要的方法。
【典例】1
【2022·全国新高考I 卷完形填空节选】

pulled up, threw us a rope and towed(拖)us back. We were ___53___.
【典例】2
【2021·全国新高考I 卷完形填空节选】

had no___44___(plans)beyond listening to my favorite records.
43. A. generous

C. technical
D. temporary
44. A. plans
B. problems
C. excuses
D. hobbies
【典例】3
【2022·全国新高考I 卷完形填空节选】
My husband, our children and I have had wonderful camping experiences over the past ten years.
Some of our ___41___ are funny, especially from the early years when our children were little.
41. A. ideas
B. jokes
C. memories
D. discoveries
2. 习惯搭配法
习惯搭配主要指动词或形容词与介词的搭配，动宾搭配或固定句式等。考生可以利用这些搭配和固定
句式快速解句内层次题，但要规避犯思维定势的负面影响，这就需要考生在实际解题中灵活运用。
【典例】1
【2021·浙江1 月卷完形填空节选】
But on the last night we were ___50___ in a thunderstorm. I woke up at midnight to find a swimming pool in
my tent.
50. A. left
B. caught
C. attacked
D. separated
【典例】2
【2023·全国乙卷完形填空节选】
Not so long ago, Martha Karolyi, the coordinator( 联络人) of the women’s national team, did not think
Douglas had what it ___58___ to be an Olympian.
58. A. viewed
B. appeared
C. mattered
D. took
3. 背景常识法
利用生活经验、文化背景知识进行确定答案，此技能与逻辑推理常交织在一起。在解句内层次题或句
组层次题时，考生若能积极地调动自己掌握的文化背景知识和生活常识，巧妙地加以运用，特别是注意中
西文化的差异，将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程，从而作出正确判断以节省宝贵的解题时间。
【典例】1
【2025·全国一卷完形填空节选】

【典例】2
【2025·全国一卷完形填空节选】

her. On her day of discharge(出院), we shared in her ___50___ at her recovery.
50. A. surprise
B. delight
C. curiosity
D. disappointment
4. 逻辑关联法
完形填空中的每一个空格并非孤立存在的，命题者通过上下文给出某种线索来保证空格所填答案的唯
一性，而这一线索就句内层次题来说，就是句中行文构成某些内在的逻辑上的关联。这些关联主要体现在
对应上的关联(空格处所用词汇与空格所在句中某个词汇存在并列/顺序/递进、转折、对比等关联)。在句组
层次题中，利用逻辑关系解题是一种非常重要的方法。这些逻辑关联包括：①转折&让步；②并列&递
进；③因果&条件等等关联。考生可以根据这些内在的逻辑关联来选择答案。
【典例】1
【2021·全国乙卷完形填空节选】

wildlife has thoughts, feelings, and most importantly, equal rights to survive.
51. A. In contrast
B. After all
C. By the way
D. On the contrary
5. 词汇复现法
词汇复现是一种语义衔接手段，它通常以原词、同/近义词、上下义词、反义词、同源词或同根词等重
现的方式呈现，考生可根据具体情况利用文章中的词汇复现来解句组层次题。
