完形填空考查动向
完形填空要求考生不仅能理解文字的含义，而且还要结合上下文语境进行思考，主要考查考生根据上下文正确使用词语的综合能力。

1．短文特点
(1)长度：完形填空的文章长度一般为250词左右，脉络清晰，难度适中。
(2)体裁：完形填空文章体裁以记叙文、夹叙夹议文为主，说明文和议论文为辅，所以在备考中考生应高度重视记叙文和夹叙夹议文类的完形填空。
(3)题材：选材内容生活化，心灵鸡汤、具有教育意义的文章居多。
2．设题规律
(1)设空词类主要是五类词：名词、动词、形容词、副词和介词短语。多数情况下，名词和动词考查的数量较多。
(2)高考完形填空在选项的设置上，打破了传统的四个选项类别一致的命题规律。如2016年10月浙江高考完形填空第37题和第48题的四个选项均有两个动词及两个动词短语构成。
(3)考查考生在阅读理解的基础上对词汇知识的掌握情况，突出在语篇中对词汇的综合运用能力。不涉及或极少涉及单纯的语法知识、习惯用法和句型结构。
备考时考生应把握考查方向，加强语篇意识，从宏观和微观两个层面解读文章，理清文章脉络。平时考生还应注重对常考体裁、题材的训练。
二
完形填空解题的6个微技能

1．利用词语复现解题
在完形填空题目中，语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义/近义词复现和同根词复现等。考生不需要做出推理判断，利用上下文的复现信息，就能轻松确定正确答案。
(1)原词复现：在上下文中同一词汇反复出现
[典例]　(2016·10月浙江高考节选)
When my son Gene was about 12 years old, I started helping him learn to 36(work). I bought twenty chickens and asked him to 37(take_care_of) them. I told him that they would be his own chickens and we would 38(buy) the eggs from him. However, he would have to buy chicken __39__ with the money he made from the eggs. Whatever money was 40(left_over) would be his to keep. Gene was 41(thrilled),_thinking he would make his first 42(fortune)．
After several weeks' successful work, I began to 43(notice) that egg production was going down. I 44(said) nothing about it. Then one night, Gene told me he didn't have 45(enough) money to buy the feed.
39．A.nest　　　　　　　 B．soup
C．meat D．feed
分析：本题可以利用原词复现解题。根据第45空后“to buy the feed”，可知Gene卖鸡蛋挣的钱要用来买饲料，故选D。
(2)同义/近义词复现：意思相同、相近的表达方式，或者解释性的语言复现
[典例]　(2017·全国卷Ⅰ节选)
While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life，college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this __41__ process and found something that has changed my 42(experience) at college for the better: I discovered ASL — American Sign Language (美式手语)．
41．A.searching B．planning
C．natural D．formal
分析：本题可以利用近义词复现解题。第41空是上文“explore”的近义词复现，故选A。
(3)同根词复现：词形变化的词汇复现
[典例]　(2016·北京高考节选)
It was a cold January in 1925 in Nome, Alaska. The town was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.
On the 20th of that month, Dr.Welch 36(examined) a sick boy, Billy, and knew he had diphtheria, a deadly infectious (传染的) disease mainly affecting children. The children of Nome would be 37(helpless) if it struck the town. Dr.Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 38(However),_the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage.
How could the medicine get to Nome? The town's 39(harbor) was already full of ice, so it couldn't come by ship. Cars and horses couldn't travel on the __40__ roads.
40．A.narrow B．snowy
C．busy D．dirty
分析：本题可以利用同根词复现解题。根据第一段可知，大雪覆盖了道路，汽车和马都不能通行，空处与首段最后一个单词snow是同根词复现，故选B。
2．利用词语同现解题
某些语义相关联的词语在语篇中有同时出现的倾向性，叫词语同现。同现词之间有反义或相对关系，或者同类互补关系等。如ill, hospital, doctor, nurse, operation, medicine等一群相互关联的词语就有同时出现在一个语篇中的可能性。根据这种“同现”关系可确定某一空格的答案。
[典例]　(2016·全国卷Ⅰ节选)
Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc. One morning in 2009. Larry was __41__ along 165 north after delivering to one of his 42(customers). Suddenly, he saw a car with its bright lights on.
41．A.walking B．touring
C．traveling D．rushing
分析：此题属词语同现。最有可能与driver(司机)，transport(运输)，delivering(运载)等词同现的应当是“行驶(traveling)”，walking和rushing表示人行进，不是机动车行进，touring表示“旅行”，故选C。
3．利用逻辑关系解题
(1)利用逻辑关系语解题
逻辑关系语指表示各种逻辑意义的连接成分，主要有：①词(包括连词、副词和少数介词)，如and, but, or, because, though, however, yet, therefore, otherwise, despite等。②短语，如in other words, in addition, as a result, on the contrary, instead of 等。③分句和独立结构，如that is to say, what is more, generally speaking等。在解题时要充分利用这些逻辑关系语，找到与文中某些词、短语有密切关系的选项。
[典例]　(2017·6月浙江高考节选)
Alia knew that if the books were to be safe, they must be __53__ again while the city was 54_(quiet). So she hired a truck to bring all the books to the houses of friends in the suburbs (郊区)．
53．A.sold B．read
C．saved D．moved
分析：根据后面的逻辑关系语“So”和“she hired a truck to bring all the books to the houses of friends in the suburbs”可知，她决定趁城市平静的时候，再次转移这些图书，故选D。
(2)利用上下文暗示解题
在完形填空选项的设置上多考查考生通过上下文的前后提示或暗示，对整体文意进行把握的能力。因此，在做题时要有全局观念，进行连贯性思维，要把每个空白处的含义与前后句的意思联系起来理解，进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。开头的题目需要从下文查找信息；中间或最后的题目需要从上下文查找信息，信息常见的有单个的词、短语、句子，但有时是语境暗示。
[典例]　(2017·6月浙江高考节选)
Anis who owned a restaurant __46__ to hide some books.All through the 47_(night),_Alia, Anis, his brothers and neighbours took the books from the library, 48(passed) them over the seven­foot wall and 49(hid) them in the restaurant.
46．A.intended B．pretended
C．happened D．agreed
分析：根据下文语境可知， 他们在夜里转移图书，由此可知，Alia的朋友Anis同意把图书藏在他的饭店里，故选D。
4．利用背景常识解题
完形填空题所选的文章大都贴近考生生活。考生在解题时，可以将相关信息和我们原有的生活经验、文化背景知识，以及科普常识等结合起来，进行简单推理，从而得出正确答案。事实上，该技巧与“逻辑推断”常常交织在一起，因为虽有背景常识，但仍需简单推理；逻辑推理离不开背景常识。
[典例]　(2016·全国卷Ⅰ节选)
Once fire and emergency people arrived, Larry and the other man __56__ and let them go to work. Then, Larry asked the 57(police) if he was needed or 58(free) to go. They let him and the other man go.
56．A.stepped forward B．backed off
C．moved on D．set out
分析：消防人员和救援人员一到，Larry和那位司机就退到后边让他们工作了起来。根据常识，紧急救援需要专业人员处理其他人员应该退后。step forward“往前走”；back off“往后退”；move on“继续往前”；set out“出发，动身”。故选B。
5．利用首尾呼应关系解题
记叙文类的完形填空在很多情况下不仅仅是在讲一个故事，而是要通过故事来升华主题，而升华的内容往往在文章结尾处，与首段内容形成首尾呼应关系。因此，我们做题不是只看到最后一空，而是要看到最后一个词，而且要学会“回头看”(重点看首段)。不要因我们过早地放松，忽略了首尾呼应关系，在最后一两道题上留下遗憾。
[典例]　(2017·北京高考节选)
Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada.One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg.They saw a man 36(eating) out of a garbage can.She asked her mother why he did that, and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry.Hannah was very 37(upset)．She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food.Hannah started to think about how she could 38(help),_but, of course, there is not a lot one five­year­old can do to solve (解决) the problem of homelessness.
...
Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a __55__ in the world.You can, too!
55．A.choice B．profit
C．judgement D．difference
分析：本题可以利用首尾呼应关系解题。文章首段讲到汉纳在五岁时看到无家可归的人在垃圾箱里捡东西吃，她很难过。通过首段尾句“Hannah started to ... to solve (解决) the problem of homelessness.”可知她很想帮助这些人。而末段“Hannah is ... who are making a __55__ in the world. You can, too！”这句话与首段呼应。根据文章可知，汉纳的做法是众多年轻人中的一个例子，通过她的努力对这个世界有不小的影响。make a difference 为固定短语，意思是“有影响，起作用”，故选D项。
6．利用文章发展脉络解题
我们主张在做完形填空的时候要合理想象，其实就是合理思考和推理，不能“胡思乱想”，应“随文应变”，不可“一意孤行”，要随着文段发展脉络，调整预测偏差。
[典例]　(2017·全国卷Ⅰ节选)
The 46(story) began during my first week at college.I watched as the ASL Club 47(performed) their translation of a song.Both the hand movements and the very 48(idea) of communicating without speaking 49(attracted) me.What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 50(past)．This newness just left me 51(wanting) more.
After that, feeling the need to __52__further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club's meetings.I only learned how to 53(sign) the alphabet that day.Yet instead of being discouraged by my 54(slow) progress, I was excited.I then made it a point to 55(attend) those meetings and learn all I could.
52．A.exercise B．explore
C．express D．explain
分析：本题可以利用文章发展脉络解题。所节选部分文章发展脉络为：大学第一周我观看了美式手语俱乐部的表演→我被表演所吸引→我想进一步学习更多手语方面的知识→我参加俱乐部的会议。根据文章发展脉络可知，第52题是在作者观看了美式手语俱乐部的表演后感受到了进一步“探索”(explore)的必要，故答案为B项。

分文体训练，更有利于学生掌握不同文体的行文结构和布局，从而快速读懂文章、精准解题。
