二、知识梳理

“完形填空”概述

完形填空通过有目的、有计划地破坏短文中段与段、句与句之间内在的逻辑关系，在语篇中测试学生的综合语言运

用能力。初中完形填空短文难度适中，长度一般在120-260词之间，留出10-15个空白处，每空1分。设空注重在语

境中考查词义。备选答案四个(单词为主、词组为辅)，一般属同一词类，同一范畴，而且往往都与前后的词构成

某种搭配，有很大的迷惑性和干扰性。

1.“完形填空”的题型

完形填空体裁以记叙文为主，题材涉及日常生活、人物故事、社会人文。选材新颖、语言地道、注重材料的思想性

和趣味性。首句保持完整，不挖空，给学生留出一个完整的信息句。主要考查实词，包括动词、名词、形容词和副

词，虚词考查为辅。

2.“完形填空”的考查能力

要求考生在理解全文大意的基础上，从词义辨析、词语搭配、词法和句法等方面做发散性思维，此外还考查篇章理

解能力、逻辑推理和分析判断能力，即在整体理解的基础上，分别利用前暗示、后暗示和综合分析，联系上下文和

常识做合乎逻辑的分析与判断。

完形填空的解题策略

1.解题步骤

1),重视首尾，把握全文首先浏览文章的首句和尾句，把握文章大意。

2).跳空猜读，了解大意“跳空速读”，边猜边想，弄清各段落、各层次之间的内在联系。具体方法是：不看

选项，凭语感，依上傍下，通读全文，在整体层面上领悟“残缺的”语篇大意，初步猜选出浅易的答案，若恰好是选

项之一或是其同义词，则十有八九是正确答案。

3）.瞻前顾后，领悟语境完形填空试题在选项的设置上越来越注重语境，逐步淡化了语法，即把具体的语言

知识融入具体的语言情景中去，通过上下文的前后提示或暗示，以此来考查考生对文章的整体把握能力。解题时要

快速浏览全文，领悟文章主旨，通过上下文语境来选择答案。先易后难，对有把握的选项“一锤定音”；若有的选项

没有把握，可暂时先搁一下，往下看，往往会“柳暗花明”。

4）.复读全文，全面验证做完题目后，不管对全文是否已有豁然开朗之感，或还是依然似懂非懂，都要复读全

文，验证答案。复查时要从语篇层次和语法层次两个角度考虑。特别要注意，是选择“最佳”而不只是“正确”答案。

在检查时要注意：（1）上下文的一致性。（2）从语义、惯用法及词性搭配，甚至语感入手，看是否符合上下文逻

辑。

2.完形填空解题技巧

1）.确认关键词，理顺思考线索短文中句与句、段与段之间往往有表达其内在联系的短语和逻辑关系词，

如连接词、代词、插入语、转折词等，它们是提供语境的关键词，具有因果、让步、递进、转折、列举、承上启下

的特殊功能。如表示并列关系的词有：and,or等；表不转折关系的有：but,while,however等；表示因果关系的有：

because,so,as,since,becauseof等；表示条件关系的有：if,whether等；表示顺序关系的有：first,second,finally,then,

next等；表示时间关系的有now,later,before,after,when,yet等。在答题时，若能“慧眼识词”，就能迅速理清文章脉

络，抓准主旨大意。

例1：Chineseisalsodifficultforme,butweshouldn't.

1.A.giveupB.turndownC.goover4.tumon

Keys:首先确认but这个关键词，在句中是个转折关系的语篇标志语。再根据短语辨析，A项表示放弃；B项表示拒

绝；C项表示复习，D表示接通（电源，水源）。通读句子，应选A。

批注：抓住关键词，找出前后句之间的联系。

2）.把握上下文的内在联系，确定最佳选项

完形填空题的逻辑性很强，前后内容往往相互照应或相互限定。忽视上下文的信息提示是学生常犯的错误。若单凭

一句句、一段段孤立地作答，结果必定会出现连锁反应，一错再错，错连一串。因此，考生在做完形填空的过程中，

应学会边读边在大脑中储藏上下文的信息。信息提示有时在前，有时在后。

例2：Shedialedthenumber,butthensheputthephonedown.Afterabouttenseconds,shedialedthenumber

again,9,Hi,Mun……”

LaterIasked,“Whydidyoudialthenumber]?”Shesmiled,44Myparentsareold.Theycan'tgetclosetothe

telephone^_

1.A.onceB.TwiceC.severaltimesD.manytime

2.A.lonelyB.SlowlyC.quietlyD.quickly

Keys:：1题的信息提示出现在前面。做题的关键在于：考生要对前面“拨了两次电话”的信息在大脑中进行储存，这

样就很容易得到答案B。

2题的信息可从上文“我父母年纪大了”推断出父母行动迟缓。因此，他们无法迅速过来接听电话。”答案选择D。

批注：整体把握文章，不要孤立地看每一段或某一句，要瞻前顾后。

3).根据词语固定搭配和习惯用法解题

词的惯用法与固定搭配是完形填空题考查的重点之一，答题时要多从惯用语和固定搭配的角度去考虑问题，特别

是动词的用法和各种搭配关系。平时要多读、多记，对所学习语或固定搭配牢固掌握，并能灵活运用。

例3：“Tostopsomeonefromstealingthetrees,I1themupsixdaysago.Ihavehidden(藏)themforalmostaweek!”

1.A.sentB.pulledC.putD.picked

Keys:：考生只要弄懂up在这里与pull搭配，表示“拔起来”，就可以迅速选B。

批注：多积累固定搭配，固定句型，注意区分相近短语的意思和用法差异。

4).利用语法分析解题

完形填空中也有题目是考查语法知识的。解答这类题，不仅要理解上下文的逻辑关系，更要有针对性地对语法结

构、句式特点，对短文中所设空格中需填的词在句子里作何成分，哪类词合适，应采取什么形式等进行必要的分析

思考，以便迅速解题。比如，选用动词就要考虑各种时态、语态、语气及如何与其它词类配合使用等一系列问题。

例4：Whentheywerereadytotakeheraway,theyweresurprisedtofindthatababyinherarmwas1alive.Thebaby

wassleepingand2hurtatall.

1.A.stillB.oftenC.neverD.not

2.A.isB.isn'tC.wasD.wasn't

Keys:：bestillalive常搭配使用，表示“还活着”，因此，46题很容易选择A。第47题可从Thebabywassleeping判

断时态是过去时，故后半句从语法上考虑时态应和上半句保持一致；再从上文的surprised这个词就可以选择出该题

的答案为D。

批注：平时要注意语法知识的积累。

5).排除错误，正确选择

有时碰到某个选项含义或用法不甚明了，但发现其它选项有显而易见的错误，这时可用排除法：按空格位置，从语

法结构、词语搭配、习惯用法、上下文意思、词义辨析等方面，对选项逐项检查验证，排除干扰项，从而确定正确

答案。

例5：Hermotherwasgettingoldandstill]thedaughter.

1.A.lookedforB.lookedoverC.lookedatD.lookedup

Keys:：根据上下文可得知：尽管她母亲年纪越来越大了，却还一直在寻找她的女儿。lookedover忽视，忽略，looked

at看见，在这里不符合文章意思，可排除。lookedfor寻找，符合上下文。

批注：先把显而易见的错误答案或不合理答案排除掉，再综合分析解题。

6).研读细节，准确认定语境，摆脱定向思维干扰

有时学习方法不当，老师又对某些知识点进行了过度强调，就会盲目就“空”论“空”。如看到自己比较熟悉的句子、

短语等语法结构，便不假思索地去选，正好“误入歧途”。其实，从出题特点来看，每个选择项并不是一种单纯的词

汇辨析，因为从语法角度分析，每个选项都正确，而能否恰如其分地传达文意才是解题的关键。

例6：Onemorning,Suewasridingherbiketoschool.Shewaslate,soshedecidedtotakeashortcut(捷径).Butshemade

amistakeand1_intoaone-waystreet.

1.A.walkedB.lookedC.turnedD.drove

Keys:：此题若仅看前面的riding,有些同学容易思维定势，选择drove这个词。但仔细推敲语境，本题应该是：Sue

为了走捷径却不小心把车拐入一个单行道里。应选C。

批注：时刻不要忘记自己在解题不是在出题，要根据作者的表达意思来解题。

7).发挥逻辑思维能力，挖掘文章寓意、隐意

近年来完形填空以叙事为主，内容贴近生活，表层意思易于理解，所以容易给学生造成一种假象，产生轻敌心理。

因此，解题时不仅要明确文章的表层意义，更要挖掘文章的深层含义，做到“表里如一”。

例7：Thereisoneinterestingthingtonote-somescientistssaybodiescandoanamazingjobontheirownwhenyouhave

acold,sotakingmedicineisn'tactually1foryou.Thevirusstaysinyou2becauseyourbodydoesn,thaveawayto

killitbyitself.

1.A.badB.goodC.SeriousDluck

2.A.longerB.shorterC.fewerD.less

Keys:：答1、2题时要注意领悟文章的深层意义。答案选项看似都可以接受，其实，从文章上下文和语篇层次来解

答，这里只有B和A符合文意，使文章逻辑通顺。

批注：不要轻敌，要耐心看完每一个选项，根据文章主题找出正确答案。

3、完形填空解题原则

1）首句重点读。首句很多情况下是topicsentence,告知文章的背景和主旨。首句一般不设空，如果首句设空，需

要重点读后面的例子，例子会提供解题线索，很多考题都是用后面的例子印证首句。

例如：Thesedays,itisforchildrenasyoungasSammytobesogoodatcomputers.ManyChildrenusecomputersat

homeoratschoolandsomeschoolsevenhavetheirownwebsites.

A.hardB.unusualC.commonD.dangerous

Keys:C,根据后面说许多孩子在家或者在学校使用电脑，有些学校甚至有他们自己的网址。由此可知上面一空应该

填C。

2）重点关注例子与例子之间的关系。几个例子联合起来都是去证明文章主旨的，但例子与例子间有时会有正反对比

或是平行关系。

例如：Ifthetesttakeranswers,thenextitemwillbemoredifficult.Ifheorsheanswersincorrectly,thenext

questionwillbeeasier.

A.certainlyB.smartlyC.correctlyD.quickly

Keys:C,根据后文说如果他或她回答不正确，下个问题将会更简单，由此可知让问题越来越难肯定是前面回答正确了。

3）选词重视“具体表达”、“最佳适用原则”。

例如：Themanisvery.Hewillpullthegateofthemarketwhengoingshoppingwithgirls.

goodB.niceC.gentleD.handsome

Keys:C,根据题干，说的是这位男士很绅士

4）选词之场景原则。

例如：SammyLiu,asix-year-oldboyfi-omKowloon,hasbecomeaherorecently.Onedayheusedthefamily's

tostoparobbery.Whilethethiefwasbusylookingforsomethinginthelivingroom,Sammywentintohis

bedroomandusedhiscomputertocallthepolice.

A.radioB.computerC.recorderD.telephone

Keys：B,根据后文可知是电脑，此处千万不可根据生活常识，盲目地选择D,完型和阅读，一定要根据文章来解

题

5）平行原则的运用。完形填空的文章很多时候是围绕一个话题展开，有些情况下每个段落的发展模式都是差不多的。

前面提到如果首句设空，除了关注到后面的例子，还不妨关注下一段首句或者再下下段首句。类似的，如果某段的

末句设空，不妨也可以关注下后面一段的末句。例如有一篇文章是讨论积极态度给生活、工作、健康带来的好处,

其中第二段末句这么写：

Withanactive,youcanovercomeallthedifficulties.在第三段末句出现了withanactiveattitude,youcanbe

healthy.如果学生在阅读的时候关注到这句，使用了“平行原则”，自然就能填出attitude.
