完形填空題型一突破(七)——高分技巧

　　1．研讀首尾——抓主題

　　一般來說,很多文章會按照“總—分—總”的思路來寫。首先提出主題,接著對主題進行分析、敘述,最后進行歸納、總結,得出結論或提出建議。因此,一般根據文章的首句及尾句就能抓住文章的主題。

　　但是,主題句不總是在文章的開頭,有時在文中,有時在文尾,因此,考生在做題時一方面要快速通讀全文,另一方面應注意連接詞,如but,however,yet,though,therefore,otherwise等,它們的前面一句或后面一句就有可能是主題句。

　　考生抓住了主題,就等于掌握了整篇文章,就可根據主題順藤摸瓜選出正確答案。

　　2．上下聯(lián)系——尋信息

　　文章中,句與句之間、段與段之間緊密相聯(lián)、渾然一體。因此,完形填空中經常會出現前面的信息為后面的空白提供暗示,而后面的信息有可能是前面空白的答案的情況。這時,考生切不可死盯住空白不放,而要聯(lián)系上下文,尋求信息以確定答案。

　　3．左顧右盼——找搭配

　　英語中,有些單詞詞義相近,而句型結構及跟其他詞的搭配卻截然不同?？忌荒軉螐脑~義上去辨析,而應審查空白前后的名詞、動詞、介詞或非謂語動詞等,比較與各選項的搭配關系,然后確定答案。

　　4．思前想后——覓邏輯

　　邏輯是作者的行文方式,主要包括并列、轉折、條件、因果、遞進、讓步等。它們之間有的通過連接詞來表達,關系非常明顯；有的隱含在句與句之間,關系比較隱晦?？忌鷳摳鶕昂笮畔⑦M行思考,撥開迷霧,準確理解上下文間的邏輯關系。

　　5．語境分析——辨詞義

　　詞不離句,句不離篇。考生做完形填空時必須從句子的語境出發(fā),根據文章的中心、上下文的意思,確定空白處的意思,然后選出合乎語境的單詞。

　　6．集中精力——破難題

　　每篇完形填空20道題,其中有2～4道題的難度較大,考生可能在短時間內很難確定答案。此時,考生應該在完成全文后,集中精力,對其進行分析、綜合,作出決定。必要時,大膽相信第一感覺。

　　7．回讀檢查——補漏洞

　　做完之后,再用2～3分鐘的時間將全文聯(lián)系起來進行回讀,查看所填單詞或短語是否跟語境相符,是否與邏輯相悖。這樣,通過查漏補缺,使答案萬無一失,提高得分。1

　　myself,took a deep breath,and began brainstorming ideas for the topic.I 　9　 wrote down the composition structure,the central theme,and other necessary elements.As the finishing time was 　10　,I tried my best to accelerate my writing.Unfortunately,due to my 　11　 of time arrangement,I left my composition incomplete.My final draft looked like a robot whose legs were broken.
