高考英语真题完形填空

高考完形填空命题趋势：

在高考所有题型中，对知识和能力的考查，完形填空可能是要求最高的。一

篇250词左右的短文，被挖去20个单词或短语，要求考生在有限的时间内，

运用学过的词汇、语法、语言逻辑推理以及跨文化差异等知识和能力等进行

准确的判断，从而使文章通顺畅达，恢复原样。近10年来，完形填空测试

的命题趋势如下：

1.由于完形填空是考学生综合运用英语能力的题型，所以该题型能比较全

面地测试考生阅读理解能力、逻辑分析以及推断能力和语法运用能力；

2.测试上述能力的手段是将语言点、语法点放在一个完整的语篇环境中；

3.每篇文章都有一个主题；

4.每篇文章开头1-2句不挖空，以便让考生在开始作答时对文章有初步的

了解。

应试对策：

1.考主应迅速地通读全文，了解文章的主旨；

2.结合文后的备选答案，本着先易后难的原则初步作出选择，以便为深人

解题扫清一般障碍；

3.抓住上下文的信息词和信息句，主要从语意选择入手。涪法选择亦应注

屈、；

4.在完形填空的挖空中，主要考查下列知识：

A.名词、代词及其习惯用法；

B.介词、连词及其习惯用法；

C.从句知识；

D.动词类是完形填空的主要考查项目，如非谓滔动词、动词词组、动词

在语意上和习惯用法上的辨异知识、虚拟涪气和情态动词等；

E.完形填空的短文一般为叙事性文章，常伴有倒叙、插叙、描述、议论

等.尤其要注意到短文的首尾呼应。有时有出乎意料的结局；

F.考生应充分注意语言的跨文化交际性原则，不可忽略文化差异；

G.考生亦应从推理以及常识等认知角度来考虑答题；

H.心态平和、沉着冷静是重要的非智力因素之一，不可急躁、随意。
