18完形填空应对策略(微观技巧)【策略精析】微观策略1：利用词汇线索解题词汇线索主要是词语复现和词语同现。许多试题的答案在上下文中以原词复现、同义复现、同源词复现、上下义复现、词语同现及反义复现等重复出现来表达，使整篇文章上下连贯，有机地衔接在一起。因此，考生可根据文章的具体情况，理解文章的结构和语境，利用文章中的词汇复现来选择正确的答案。1.原词复现【典例分析1】(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)Onedaythey’ll47.wake__upanddiscoverthateverythingthey’vealwaysknownaboutwindowsisa__48__.Iwonderif49.parentsshouldalwaystellthetruthnomatterthe50.consequences.Ihaveaverystrong51.fearthattheliewe’retelling...48. B.lieC.fantasy D.fact【分析】本题可以利用原词复现解题。由下文的“Ihaveaverystrong51.fearthatthelie...”并结合语境可知，本句意为：有一天，他们会开始了解真相，并且发现，一直以来，他们所知道的关于窗户的一切，是一个谎言。故选B项。【典例分析2】(2020·全国卷Ⅱ)Heboughtabookandwas53.surprisedtofindapictureoftheartistPierreBonnardsittingonthesamechairinthesame__54__ashisfather’spainting.“That’sthegardeninourpicture，”Nicolo’ssontoldhisfather.54. B.kitchenC.hall D.garden【分析】本题可以利用原词复现解题。由下文中“That’sthegardeninourpicture”的garden可知，尼科洛的儿子买的一本书中皮尔·波纳尔的图片中的椅子和花园跟尼科洛得到的画中的一模一样，这应该是让人惊讶的。2.同/近义复现【典例分析】(2020·全国卷Ⅱ)Itwassigned(签名)“Bonnato”orsohethought，butwhenhe51.researchedit，heonlyfound“Bonnard，”aFrench52.painterhehadneverheardof....They__57__theotherpaintingandlearnedthatitwas58.actuallyPaulGauguin’s“StillLifeofFruitonaTablewithaSmallDog.”57. B.cleanedC.framed D.studied【分析】本题可以利用同义复现解题。句意：他们研究了另一幅画，发现它事实上是PaulGauguin的“StillLifeofFruitonaTablewithaSmallDog”。根据上文的butwhenhe51.searchedit可知此处用“研究”符合语境，research和study是同义词复现，故选D项。3.同源词复现【典例分析】(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)Everyyearabout40，000peopleattempttoclimbKilimanjaro，thehighestmountaininAfrica..........This52.viewisespeciallyevidentonKilimanjaroas__53__gothroughfiveecosystems(生态系统)inthespaceofafewkilometers.53. B.climbersC.locals D.officials【分析】本题可以利用同源词复现解题。联系上文的“Everyyearabout40，000peopleattempttoclimbKilimanjaro...”可知，爬山的人(climbers)可以经历五种生态系统，climb与climber是同源词。故选B。4.上下义复现【典例分析】(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)Above4，000metersisthehighland__57__：gravel(砾石)，stonesandrocks.57. B.desertC.road D.lake【分析】本题可以利用上下义复现解题。冒号后的gravel，stonesandrocks的上义词是desert(荒漠)。5.词语同现【典例分析】(2018·全国卷Ⅱ)Theinstructorscalledforanambulance.55.Fortunately，afterabriefstayinhospital，Benwaswellenoughtobeallowedto__56__andlaterthefamilymetupfordinner.56. B.relaxC.speak D.leave【分析】本题可以利用词语同现解题。最有可能与ambulance(救护车)，afterabriefstayinhospital(短暂住院之后)等词同现的应当是“出院(leave)”，而不是“回归(return)”“放松(relax)”“说话(speak)”。故选D。6.反义复现【典例分析】(2020·全国卷Ⅲ)They’llhaveouthalfthe45.goodsintheshop，andwanttheonlystyleyoudon’thaveleftina46.particularcolour.Idoknowhowupsettheshopstaffcanget，butItrytopersuadethemtokeep__47__.47. B.smilingC.waiting D.changing【分析】本题可以利用反义复现解题。根据连词but可知，此处填入的词与前一分句中的upset意义相反，故选B。微观策略2：利用固定搭配及固定结构解题高考英语完形填空会考查一些习惯搭配、地道习惯用语及固定句型等。因此在备考过程中要有意识地加强对固定搭配、句型及习惯用语的积累和掌握。【典例分析1】(2020·全国卷Ⅱ)ItwasjustaftersunriseonaJunemorning.“Nicolo，”whoserealnamecannotbe__41__tothepublicbecauseofItaly’sprivacylaws...41. B.allocatedC.exposed D.submitted【分析】本题可以利用固定搭配解题。句意：Nicolo完成了一整夜在Turin一家工厂的工作，他的真实名字因为意大利的隐私法不能暴露给警方。beexposedto“暴露给……”，为固定搭配。【典例分析2】So，on14December2011，Ipackedupmylife，__25__ofmyjobplans，andclimbed60meterstothetopofthistree.Ihavebeenhereeversince.25.A.grewout B.fellshortC.ranout D.letgo【分析】本题可以利用固定搭配解题。根据语境可知，在2011年12月14日，我收拾好我的生活，爬到了树上，所以此处应是放弃了我的工作计划。letgoof“放弃”，为固定搭配。微观策略3：利用逻辑关系解题此方法是通过根据句、段间内在的逻辑关系来推断正确答案。主要应用于完形填空的两类题型：一是考查连接词和起连接词作用的短语；二是考查上下文的逻辑关系。常见的逻辑关系有因果关系、转折关系、对比关系、递进关系、让步关系、并列关系、条件与结果关系等。1.转折关系【典例分析1】(2020·山东高考模拟卷)Iamwillingtostayuphereforaslongasittakes，__33__Ihonestlyhopeitwon’tbetoolongbeforeIcanputmyfeetonthegroundbelowandstandinaforestthatwillneverbelogged.33. B.thoughC.because D.so【分析】本题可以利用转折关系解题。空前提到我愿意待在树上，空后说，我不希望待在树上太长时间，由此可知，前后语义为转折关系，故填but。故选A。【典例分析2】(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)The3，500residentscannotall56.enjoy57__，thenewlightfeelslikemorethanenoughforthetown’s58.sun－starvedresidents.57. B.HoweverC.Gradually D.Similarly【分析】本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。空前提到居民不能同时享受阳光，空后说，新光线对小镇居民而言感觉绰绰有余，由此可知，前后语义为转折关系，故选however(然而)。2.因果关系【典例分析】(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)Hewasaninternationalgrandmaster，which45.meantIwouldbelearningfromoneofthegame’s__46__.Icouldhardlywaitto47.meethim.46. B.easiestC.best D.rarest【分析】本题可以利用因果关系解题。通过上面对本空前后文已知信息的分析，能够发现上下文是明显的因果关系，再结合语义，答案可以确定为C项。3.对比关系【典例分析】(2017·全国卷Ⅰ)Thefollowingterm，I56.registered__foranASLclass.Theprofessorwasdeafandanytalkingwas57.prohibited.58__，iftherehadbeenanytalking，itwouldhave59.causedustolearnless.Now，Iappreciatethesilenceandthe60.newwayofmunicationitopens.58. B.ThusC.Instead D.However【分析】本题可以利用对比关系解题。根据上下文的语境可知，作者很快意识到无声并非是不愉快的，相反(Instead)，如果有任何谈话的话，会导致作者他们学习得更少。所以，前后文是对比关系，故选C项。Instead“相反地”；Lastly“最后，终于”；Thus“因此”；However“然而”。4.递进关系【典例分析】(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)Inorderto50.passtheclass，amongothercriteria，wehadtowriteapaperonhowweplanto51.applywhatwewouldlearninclasstoourfutureprofessionsand，__52__，toourlives.52. B.naturallyC.directly D.normally【分析】本题可以利用递进关系解题。第一层：为了通过这门课程，我们得写一篇论文，在论文中我们要说明如何把在课堂上学到的东西“应用到”未来的职业中去；第二层：“最终”应用到自己的生活中去。结论：第一、二层之间为“递进”关系。故选A项。5.让步关系【典例分析】(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)And，evenifIweren’t__43__enoughaboutfreecredits，newsaboutour44.instructorwasappealingenoughtome.43. B.worriedC.moved D.tired【分析】本题可利用让步关系解题。结合句意可确定答案为A。微观策略4：利用语境暗示解题在完形填空的短文中常常设置前后互相暗示的考题。这种暗示多为后面暗示前面，也就是说前面的某些填空从当时的情况来看，或是线索不清，或是语境不明，无法得出正确答案，但只要我们继续往后看，就会发现此空在后面的某个地方有暗示。所以，在做题时一定要充分利用前后的语境线索，以提高做题的正确率。【典例分析】(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)Iwonderif49.parentsshouldalwaystellthetruthnomatterthe50.consequences.Ihaveaverystrong51.fearthattheliewe’retellingisdoing__52__damagetoourchildren.52. B.biologicalC.spiritual D.behavioral【分析】本题可以利用语境暗示解题。由语境可知此处意为：我有一种强烈的害怕，害怕我们正在说的谎言会对孩子们造成心灵上的伤害。故选C。微观策略5：利用作者态度和情感色彩解题在做完形填空题时，我们一定要在快速阅读文章的过程中，仔细找出能够反映作者态度和感情色彩的重要词汇，它们往往是名词、形容词、副词或动词。这些词汇通常是我们做题时重要的参照线索，可以帮助我们快速确定某些题目的正确答案。【典例分析】(2019·全国卷Ⅱ)Ehlerseventuallysucceededincoaxingtheanimaltohim.Nervousnessandfearwerereplacedwith__49__.Itjuststartedlicking(舔)Ehlers’face.49. B.joyC.hesitation D.anxiety【分析】本题可以利用作者态度和情感色彩解题。根据空格前面的nervousnessandfearwerereplaced(紧张不安和恐惧被取代了)以及后面的“ItjuststartedlickingEhlers’face.(它就开始舔Ehlers的脸)”可知，它的不安和恐惧被快乐(joy)取代。答案可以确定为B项。微观策略6：利用生活常识和文化背景解题高考完形填空提供了相对完整的语篇信息，但其间渗透着各类相关的文化背景知识和常识。考生在做题时可充分利用社会文化知识和生活常识来进行分析判断，以节省宝贵的时间，顺理成章地选出正确的答案。完形填空的语篇中往往渗透着诸如文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。考生在做题时，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，节省宝贵的时间，从而轻松地做出正确判断。【典例分析】(2020·全国卷Ⅱ)The59.familycalledtheItalianCultureMinistry；theofficialconfirmedthatthepaintingswere__60__andworthasmuchas$50million.60. B.originalsC.models D.presents【分析】本题利用生活常识和文化背景解题。句意：这家人给意大利文化部打，官员肯定这些画是原版，价值高达5000万美元。根据下文的asmuchas$50million，结合生活常识可知只有画家的原版才值这么多钱，故选B项。【策略精练】1Afteratearlessfarewellwithmydaughter,welefthernewdormroom.ButsooninthecampuswesawherrunningagainsttheAugustheat.Iquickly1downthecarwindowandSarinadidn’tmissastepassheturnedandhappilywavedgoodbye.Iwasin2whythetearshadn’tewhenwepartedonherfirstdayinuniversity.Ourfirst3,thedaysheleftmybody,wasanightmareofpainandsuffering.4,ourtogethernessfollowingthebirthwassosweetthatIfelthersmallbodystillseemedtobe5tomine.Intheyearstoe,thesoundofherfeetrunningaroundourhousewaslikethegentle6thatremindedmethatmylittlegirlwashereandthatsomedayshewouldrunthe
