高考英语完形填空的解题思路和解题技巧
一、合理的解题方法——分析法;分析法分为纵向和横向
那么什么是分析法呢?下面举例说明“我喝了一口水”:
我们关注的是句子的组成:
我 喝了 一 口 水
你 咽了 二 杯 茶
老师 吐了 三 瓶 可乐
老虎 喷了 四 缸 汽油
经过分析得到纵列的内容性质相同,因为其他的搭配是语法不错,但是逻辑错误。
再来看横向的:
我 喝了 一 口 水
你 咽了 二 杯 茶
老师 吐了 三 瓶 可乐
老虎 喷了 四 缸 汽油
横向的分析得到有一些句子是合理的,但是有的就不合理了。我们可以得到这样的结论是横列内容关系合理。
我们的完形填空是这样的:
我 -------- ---- 口 水
你 咽了 二 杯 茶
老师 吐了 三 瓶 可乐
老虎 喷了 四 缸 汽油
二、纵向分析做题和举例说明;纵列内容性质相同
做完形填空是必须有上下文的,否则是无法得到结果的。形式是:
...............n(钟楼、车间、老师).........................n(牧师、工人、同学)...................
....... .................................................. n ...........................................................................
...............n(礼拜、货物、考试)........................n(圣诞节、运输、成绩).............
A.学校 B.村庄 C.教堂 D.工厂
下面我们给出几类词性的解题:
1.名词------ 一样一类
举例说明:
When I joined a private football league a few years ago, the sport meant everything to me. My coach(教练) said that I had lots of potential(潜力), and I became captain of my ___36___ . That was before all the fun was taken out of ___37___.
At first, everyone on the team got ___38___ playing time.
36. A. class B. club C. team D. board
37. A. playing B. living C. learning D. working
2.形容词——好坏一致
一般已知的词性质,是好还是坏事可以根据意义知道的,根据文章的整体逻辑性,一般出现的词是不一样的但是词的意思是同样的感情的,比如已知的词是happy 、glad 、nice 等正面积极的感情的词,那么选择angry等负面感情的词时不合理的。转折除外。
3.副词——(同形容词的情况)
举例说明:
I moved slowly, 42 every step. I remember how 43 I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables, it looked different from the one I was 44 on. It had nice handles (手柄),which made it 45 to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to 46 I was a natural at this job.
42. A. minding B. changing C. taking D. saving
43. A. angry B. calm C. sad D. happy全是形容词!
44. A. fixed B. trained C. loaded D. waited
45. A. slower B. lighter C. quieter D. easier
4.动词——顺序紧密
举例说明:
a)起床,穿衣服,洗漱,吃早餐,上学
b)穿袜子——系鞋带
A.吃饭 B.游泳 C. 穿鞋 D.睡觉
我们看的是逻辑性,动作的顺序有一定的关系,也可以知道该选择什么答案。
c)The word "spaghetti" (意大利面)brought back the _36 _ of an evening at Uncle Alien' s in Belleville 37 all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat 38 spaghetti for supper.
38. A. cooked B. served C. got D. made
5.小节:
对于完形填空的选择时一般通过上下文来推断出来答案,我们可以总结出来下面的小规律:
ABCD 选项一致
n—n 一样一类
a—a 好坏一致
v—v 顺序紧密
用纵向思路可以解决50%的题目。
三、横向内容关系合理及两种方法的疑难解答
横向时我们看的只有当前的句子就可以了。只看空格所在的句子。
要求关系合理即可。
n<-------------adj(修饰程度)
| |
| 关系合理 |
v<------------ adv(修饰程度)
(1)我们这里说的横向纵向是一种训练方案,我们用它来训练思维方式,而不是说是解题方法。
(2)特殊情况的完形填空例如:(代词我们当成名词)
介词 in on at with
连词 however therefore
但是它们不会超过四个
四、两种方法的简单练习举例
On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront cafe on a
Greet island. Over a hundred degrees in36 air. Crowded. Tempers(脾气) of both the tourists and waiters had37 to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment(环境)

She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl’s 43 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !” I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing—only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I’d put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.

真题讲解(二)2011北京卷
I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 —friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from 53 in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
36. A. as B. until C. unless D. though
37. A. hoped B. agreed C. meant D. chose

42. A. point B. half C. rest D. basis
43. A. enjoying B. preparing C. attending D. watching
44. A. less B. later C. worse D. further
45. A. committed B. motivated C. embarrassed D. confused
46. A. Interestingly B. Fortunately C. Obviously D. hopefully
47. A. focus B. act C. rely D. try
48. A. want B. do C. support D. know
49. A. steps B. orders C. rules D. games

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 36 waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 37 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often 38 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 39 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 40 . I can still remember he was always 41 a smile and willing to help. He always 42 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 43 just smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 44 home.
Weeks passed and the 45 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 46 before the holiday break. I smiled in 47 as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 48 standing by my desk.

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 36 when I was teaching second 37 , 10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to 38 ideas of how to 39 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and 40 to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 41 invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child 42 up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 43 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking 44 .
I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was 45 if you could keep my mother 46 while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 47 my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 48 the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 49 .
Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day’s 50 and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 51 was completed. When I came 52 Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 53 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran bark and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t 54 it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 55 stopped hugging teachers years ago.
