专题三完形填空cloze test

专题三：完形填空cloze test

设计完形填空题的三个方向：

1.词汇（词义识别，同义词辨析，英语惯用法）。 2.语法结构（语法规则的实际应用）。

3.语篇意识（从语篇角度综合测试考生的阅读理解能力）。 我们的失分点:

1.不浏览全文,匆忙作答,欲速则不达 2.词义掌握不牢,无法筛选出正确意思

3. 受思维定势的影响，没有对上下文进行推敲就选择答案

4. 对完形填空怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以致做题时处于应付状态，不作认真的推敲检查。 完形填空的解题总则：

1.读全文，领悟大意，先易后难。

2.再读全文，推理判断，前后照应，试选答案。

3.三读全文，检验答案，修正错误。 完形填空的解题方法：

One of my friends did business with somebody else a few years ago. Their freighter（货船） was upturned by a storm 21 and their hope, together with their merchandise vanished 22 . He was so upset by the blow that he became 23 and couldn’t 24 concentrate his attention. His 25 who suffered the same catastrophe never lost heart. His days went on as 26 as before.
