初中英语完形填空解题技巧
初中英语完形填空解题技巧:通常做题者从总体上把握文章主旨,接受作者所传达的信息与
情感,针对完形填空,提出了各种多层次、全方位的理解技法,其中以总体把握法、词语搭
配法、语法判定法、语境联想法、举例对比法最为重要。
通常做题者从总体上把握文章主旨,接受作者所传达的信息与情感,针对完形填空,提出了
各种多层次、全方位的理解技法,其中以总体把握法、词语搭配法、语法判定法、语境联想
法、举例对比法最为重要。
这里首先讲解以下四种解题法:
1.总体把握
要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.弄清体裁
文章体裁通常分为四种:论述文、记叙文、说明文和应用文。中考选文以叙事性文章为主,
如:幽默故事、科普知识、童话、简短新闻、名人轶事、社会热点问题等。读这类文章,要
大体上了解故事所涉及的时间、地点、人物、事件及前因后果。
3.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。
4.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。
一般说来讲解以下三种解题技法:
1.词语搭配
(1)从语法角度来说,句子不是词的序列,而是词组的序列。
(2)因搭配关系而产生的一般性词汇。如:see a film
(3)词序和意义皆以固定的复合词和动词短语。如:push ahead with(奋力前行)。
(4)因词组而构成的常见的句式:It feels+形容词+不定式,在搭配判断时,注意:要区别外形
相近而意义不同的搭配。如:look for, look over, look out, look after, look up 等。要区别形不
相似而意义相近的搭配。如: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;要注意单个词组的多义性。如: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。
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。
3.例举对比
在完形填空的多项选择中,常常会遇到难以选择的题目。需要调动头脑里的知识“储备”,例
举熟知的语言现象与之相比较,再做出明智的选择。
一般的解题过程是:
1.通读全文,掌握大意。结合选项初步弄清短文写了些什么内容。
2.瞻前顾后,分析先行。在理解全文意思的基础上,结合文章内容对空缺句子作合乎逻辑的
推理。必须弄清空缺词句的确切含义,空缺词句与其前后句的意义衔接必须自然、合理,不
可出现意义断层或说东道西的情况,必须从空缺句的内部结构入手,从语法、词语固定搭配、
词形变化等角度考虑,务必使所填的单词准确无误。
3.反复推敲,攻克难关。如果做不出来的话,可能要改变一下思路。如实词多与文章的内容
直接相关,虚词多与文章的连贯性或句子结构直接相关,如果从内容上实在看不出要填哪个
单词的话,应考虑是否需要填介词、连词等。
4.验证答案,修正错误,着重注意这几点:
(1)文章是否顺畅; (2)所填单词是否是最佳单词; (3)所填单词是否有拼写错误。

hold up (阻挡) traffic. But when they cross a 5 road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up.
