1. 語(yǔ)境推測(cè)法

近幾年高考英語(yǔ)完形填空題的最大特點(diǎn)是--重點(diǎn)考查語(yǔ)境。所謂語(yǔ)境,就是指文章的上下文,它包括文章語(yǔ)氣的一致性、意思的連貫性、表述的合理性、論證的邏輯性等。所以考生在做題時(shí),一定要從整體上把握文章內(nèi)容,區(qū)分文章的結(jié)構(gòu)層次和文章的內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系,同時(shí)認(rèn)真比較所給選項(xiàng),并從中選最符合語(yǔ)境的答案。

2. 語(yǔ)法分析法

盡管近幾年的高考完形填空主要考查考生對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解,很少(或幾乎不)考查純語(yǔ)法知識(shí),但是借助語(yǔ)法分析來(lái)幫助理解句子、推測(cè)語(yǔ)境、判斷搭配等,這卻是必不可少的。所以,考生在遇到疑難復(fù)雜的句子時(shí),應(yīng)充分利用所學(xué)語(yǔ)法知識(shí)進(jìn)行分析處理,以免因理解上的差錯(cuò)而選錯(cuò)答案。

3. 常識(shí)推斷法

語(yǔ)境的判斷在許多情況下需借助常識(shí)的判斷,所以考生在做題時(shí)還應(yīng)充分結(jié)合自己作為一名中學(xué)生所應(yīng)該具備的常識(shí)進(jìn)行合理推測(cè)。如車(chē)在轉(zhuǎn)彎時(shí),車(chē)速要放慢;人累了就要休息;學(xué)習(xí)不用功,考試就不能及格等,這都是常識(shí)問(wèn)題。不過(guò)這里也請(qǐng)注意,若是在這類(lèi)語(yǔ)言環(huán)境下,作者用了but, however 之類(lèi)的表示轉(zhuǎn)折的詞語(yǔ),情況則可能完全相反,如人累了卻不休息;車(chē)在轉(zhuǎn)彎時(shí),車(chē)速卻偏要加快等。

4. 習(xí)語(yǔ)搭配法

英語(yǔ)中,一些固定的句型和短語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)既是學(xué)習(xí)的一個(gè)難點(diǎn),也是完形填空的一個(gè)??伎键c(diǎn)。做題時(shí)應(yīng)注意所填空之詞與空格前后詞語(yǔ)的習(xí)慣搭配。如:
I started surfing about five years ago and ______ in love with the sport on the very first day.
A. stayed B. came C. dropped D. fell
此題應(yīng)選D,因?yàn)閒all in love with 是習(xí)慣搭配,意為"愛(ài)上"、"喜歡上"。

5. 比較擇優(yōu)法

即根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容和上下文的情景,通過(guò)比較所給選項(xiàng),從中選出最佳答案。

6. 錯(cuò)誤排除法

有些題目通過(guò)正面的選擇一時(shí)難以確定最佳選項(xiàng),可嘗試使用排除法,即從文章語(yǔ)境、詞語(yǔ)搭配、語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)、習(xí)慣用法、詞義辨析等方面,對(duì)選項(xiàng)逐項(xiàng)分析比較,排除干擾項(xiàng),從而確定正確答案。

7. 先易后難法

由于完形填空題是在一篇短文中挖去一些詞,且絕大多數(shù)是一些實(shí)詞,所以文章讀起來(lái)肯定有一些難度??忌谧鲱}時(shí),千萬(wàn)不能不分難易地把所有試題一次搞定,而應(yīng)嘗試使用先易后難的方法。即順著文章思路,根據(jù)自己對(duì)文章的理解,一邊讀一邊把容易做的、有把握的先做好,對(duì)于一時(shí)沒(méi)有把握的難題,可以暫時(shí)跳過(guò)去或初擬一個(gè)答案,說(shuō)不定后面會(huì)有對(duì)這道題的提示。把容易的做好后,文章空格也隨之減少,整篇文章的意思也就會(huì)變得更清晰,這時(shí)難題也許就會(huì)變?yōu)橐最}了。

答案與解析:本文講述丈夫Bob與妻子Pat簽訂一份協(xié)約--暑假照顧小孩和做家務(wù)活70天。最后以失敗告終,Bob不得不公開(kāi)承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤。

1. B 根據(jù)后半句"他將要接替照看小孩和料理家務(wù)"可知,這份"母親職責(zé)契約"是剛簽不久的。

2. D 根據(jù)下文可知,他們結(jié)婚以來(lái)一直是Pat承擔(dān)家務(wù),今年夏天將由Bob來(lái)做這些事,當(dāng)然是"接管、接替"了。

3. D由兩分句間的邏輯關(guān)系決定的。句意是:盡管簽約時(shí)他連make coffee都不會(huì),但是他卻很有信心。

4. B 根據(jù)I was beaten down和admits推知,他認(rèn)輸了(give up)。

5. C 根據(jù)it is an impossible job for any normal human being可知這是件非常困難的事。

6. D 根據(jù)to help put him through university(為了幫助他完成大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè))可知,Pat是做秘書(shū)工賺錢(qián)。

7. C 根據(jù)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)has been極易判斷。since (自......以后,一直......)短語(yǔ)通常與完成時(shí)連用,而in time(及時(shí)、遲早)和before long(=soon)常與一般過(guò)去時(shí)或?qū)?lái)時(shí)連用,later on(后來(lái))常與一般過(guò)去時(shí)連用。

8. A 根據(jù)前后無(wú)因果關(guān)系,可排除B和C;又根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知是表承接關(guān)系填then(然后),而still意為"然而,不過(guò)",在此不符。

9. D 根據(jù)句意,只有around適合。"我那時(shí)候總是圍著小孩轉(zhuǎn)......"

10. B 根據(jù)她所說(shuō)的"總是圍著小孩子轉(zhuǎn),沒(méi)有一個(gè)大人說(shuō)話",顯然是在"嘆息"。

11. C 前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。雖然如此之辛苦,"然而"還是繼續(xù)操勞家務(wù),直到Bob簽約前。

12. A 根據(jù)前面Bob tried hard to learn cooking, but...從轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but可判斷答案。

13. D 由后文sometimes having MacDonald's hamburgers for lunch and dinner可知。

14. B 前面談cooking,現(xiàn)在談housekeeping,用以引出另一方面的事情,當(dāng)然用"至于(as for)"較合適。

15. C 根據(jù)常識(shí)可選出正確答案。除用if外,其它三項(xiàng)均不合事理。

16. A 根據(jù)I shut the doors (門(mén)一關(guān))可推知,"不用鋪床,別人就看不見(jiàn)了",這種方法不是很簡(jiǎn)單嗎?

17. D 根據(jù)語(yǔ)境,可判斷句意為"去接在上班的Pat回家時(shí),我要他們......","去接回來(lái)"當(dāng)然用fetch。

18. C 與inside out(=wrong side out里面翻到外面)相對(duì)的當(dāng)然是right side out了。

19. A 根據(jù)I was wrong可知用admit。Bob通過(guò)這70天的體驗(yàn)后,公開(kāi)"承認(rèn)"以前自己不做家務(wù)活是不對(duì)的。

20. C 既然意識(shí)到以前錯(cuò)了,現(xiàn)在就會(huì)"分擔(dān)(share)"照看小孩和料理家務(wù)活。
