完形填空旨在閱讀的基礎(chǔ)上綜合考查學(xué)生的邏輯思維能力和對具體語境的把握能力。 “得閱讀者,得高分”,殊不知,完形填空更是一道高高的“門檻”,考生如果邁不過這道“門檻”,怎能得高分?
總攻略:“先完意,后完形”
考生要先理解作者的寫作意圖和文章的主旨大意,再依據(jù)詞匯知識、句型知識和邏輯常識來做出判斷。
1.瀏覽全文,花2~3分鐘的時間進(jìn)行缺詞閱讀,重點(diǎn)了解文中所敘述的人物、時間、地點(diǎn)、事件,即who,when,where,what。
2.注意首段和結(jié)尾段以及每個段落的首句,這樣有利于把握文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和主旨大意。
3.先填上固定搭配、習(xí)慣表達(dá)等較容易的選項(xiàng),對語境和語義還不太明確的選項(xiàng),則要結(jié)合上下文,反復(fù)推敲。
撒手锏一:了解文章結(jié)構(gòu),聯(lián)系全文,不能脫離上下文語境。

Arriving in the Sunshine State was rather tiring, but I
38 to catch a taxi to my 39 and settle in. Next morning, I took another 40 to the shopping centre to buy a few souvenirs.
...At the end of the day, she returned to take me back to my accommodation.
38.A. intended B. promised
C. managed D. deserved
39.A. hospital B. company
C. university D. accommodation
40.A. colleague B. passenger C. suitcase D. taxi
【點(diǎn)撥】38題考查動詞詞義辨析和上下文照應(yīng)。intend打算、意圖,promise允諾,manage設(shè)法做到,deserve應(yīng)該得到。來到這個陽光燦爛的地方,旅途讓人很疲憊,但我還是設(shè)法找到一輛出租車,乘車來到我的住宿點(diǎn)。故C項(xiàng)正確。
39題考查上下文照應(yīng)。根據(jù)take me back to my accommodation可知,我乘坐出租車來到住宿點(diǎn)。故D項(xiàng)正確。
40題從 another這個單詞可知,我又找了一輛出租車去購物中心買紀(jì)念品。故D項(xiàng)正確。

A. patience B. presence
C. intelligence D. influence
【點(diǎn)撥】這題考查語境照應(yīng)。patience耐心,presence在場、在家,intelligence智力,influence影響。雖然我每天都和媽媽通電話,但是僅僅通電話完全不能代替媽媽在場,說明我很希望媽媽在我身邊。故B項(xiàng)正確。
撒手锏二:掌握常見的固定搭配,包括介詞與動詞的搭配、動詞與賓語的搭配以及形容詞與名詞的搭配等。
【典例3】(2014年全國新課標(biāo)卷I)

【典例4】(2014年全國新課標(biāo)卷II)
They couldnt see or hear each other and, 28 , Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁).

【點(diǎn)撥】by mistake錯誤地,by chance偶然地,by the way 順便說一下,by luck僥幸。根據(jù)Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice可知,Simon錯誤地把他的朋友推到峭壁邊上。故A項(xiàng)正確。
撒手锏三: 文中無閑句,句中無閑詞,注意文中表示分類、對比、從屬、并列等關(guān)系的詞語。
【典例5】(2014年天津卷)
