如何做完型填空

如何做完型

一、通读全文，掌握大意 1、抓住文章首尾句

完形填空一般不给出标题，这就使得掌握文章中心思想的难度加大，但是按一般的规律，开篇首句有的甚至是头两句、三句、往往是完整句，不设计空格。因此，首句或前几句就成了了解全文中心的窗口，它们可帮助我们判断文章的题材和体裁，为推测文章的大意提供重要信息

He has been called the “missing link”. Half-man, half-beast. He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world-Mount Everest. （NMET2001）

全文讲述的可能是一种生活在大山里的一种特殊的动物（half-man, half-best），它可能是失踪了的（原始人与现代人）的一种联系 .

联想到：这一失踪了的“联系物”可能又被发现。同样，有些文章的尾句，往往也是对全文的小结和概括，即使留有空格，也可为我们把握大意提供帮助 2、快速阅读全文，粗略理解大意

不要忙于动手做题目，应先通读全文，以使对文章内容有个整体了解。这是一个很重要的步骤，切勿错误地认为可有可无。有的学生在答题时，或是为了节省时间，或是由于不良的习惯，在未通读前就边阅读边填空，结果还未填完，就发现前面出错了，与下文不符，然后又回头重做，这样不仅没节省时间，反而浪费时间，还会影响思路和情绪.

阅读时可以根据首句提供的信息，充分运用逻辑思维，捕捉文中的关键词语，在阅读过程中，应跳过所有空格，快速将全文读完，有时甚至可以通读两遍或三遍，以了解语境，把握大意。 注意力放在：时间、地点、人物、起因、结果和贯串全文的重要事件上，并注意它们之间的联系。

特别要注意的是：通读的目的是粗略理解大意，因此通读时，要采取快、粗、跳的方法。快，指的是用较短的时间读一遍，使思路连贯，一泻而下，切不可在个别的词、句子上停留较长的时间，使思路中断。粗，指的是，了解大概意思，切不可一开始就将宝贵的时间消磨在个别字句意思的推敲上。跳，指的是，跨过一个个空格，一看到底，而不是把四个选项中的任何一个或分别纳入短文空白中一起读，这样，只能是事倍功半

二、紧扣主题，认真答题 在全文的通读基础上，应紧扣主题，纵观上下文，从两个大的方面综合地全面地考虑。 一是语言知识方面，二是非语言知识方面。

语言知识主要指的是：语法、习惯用法、词的搭配、短语的意义、近义词的辨析等。 非语言知识指的是：文章的前后逻辑关系，人物的一般心理、生活常识以及事件发展的一般

规律等。

We feel . If the 24-hour cycle is (disturbed) most people experience unpleasant （NMET2000）

一般的生活常识和事物的一般规律

答题过程中，除了注意以上两个大方面以外，对于一些难以确定的空格，切不可花太多的时

间，完全可以先将它们放下，大胆地跳过去，继续往下读，随着情节的展开和前后文的照应、对比，你会豁然开朗，一下子找出上文空格的正确答案。 三、复核全文，验证答案

短文完形之后，应再次对全文进行复读，认真检查一遍，看所选答案是否能使全文贯通，情节、推理等是否符合情理。若遇到不通之处，应该从句子结构和意义两个角度来仔细权衡，加以纠正。对于个别仍然拿不准的答案，应当相信自己的语感，坚持第一次的选择。

总之，做完形填空要冷静、谨慎，切忌草率行事。要充分发挥所学知识，善于利用文中信息，瞻前顾后，放眼全篇，方可取得优异成绩。 二、完型填空具体操作中应注意的问题

1. 充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。

1)Travelling _______, today becomes yesterday; travelling west it is tomorrow.

A. south B. east C. north D. west

这是两个句式相同的并列句，可以根据第二句来确定第一句的内容。yesterday 与tomorrow 相对，所填的词应与west 相对，因此答案是B 。

2) Many old people don't have good _______. They can't watch TV, but they can listen to music or news over the radio.

A. hearing B . health C. eyesight D. time

句中与can't watch TV 信息有关的词是eyesight, 因此答案是C 。

3) Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very, very ______. A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous

根据转折连词 but 的提示，所填入的词应与shallow 相反，因此答案为A 。 4) Someone had taken the _______ diamond and put a faulty one in its place.

A. real B. pure C. right D. exact

这里连词and 也表示一定意义的转折，所填的词应与faulty 相对，因此答案为A

5) Mrs O'Neill asked _______ questions, and she didn't scold us either. A. no B. certain C. many D. more

and 是一个并列连词；either 为副词，用在否定句或否定词后加强语势，由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词，因此答案是A 。 6) ① the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket ② turned over to the policeman? Should the extra change received at the store be forgotten or returned? ① A. Should B. Must C. Would D. Need ② A. and B. or C. then D. but

这两个句子句式完全相同，很容易在第二句中找到第一句所缺的词，答案分别Should 和or 。 2. 注意固定的搭配，包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等，同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。

1) The city (Washington) was named ______ George Washington, the first president of the United States.

2) The boy was the water and his canoe was away. ① A. on B. within C. in D. under

5)The back door and the windows were all closed and there was no ______ of forced entry. A. scene B. show C. sign D. sight
