第一份资料完型填空技巧

做完形填空题应从哪些方面入手？

1.首先要以很快的速度浏览全文，掌握文章的主旨，不要急于看选项。浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、事件，即who，when，where，what。

完形填空

命题的原则一般是第一句话不挖空，目的是使读者进入语境，因此一定要认真阅读这句话。例如：Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next? 这句话从铁轨之间的缝隙引出了问题。根据常识，文中内容应与热涨冷缩的物理现象有关。

2.根据故事情节的发展选词，确定所填的词与文中哪个词有关系以及动作是在什么场合发生的。

3.试填之后将所选定的词放到文章中复读检查。(“字面译、通逻辑、搞代入、全文译”)

具体操作中应注意的问题

1.看清上下文，找准定位词

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。例如：

1)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。

2)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。

2.通顺逻辑，寻求搭配

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。例如：

Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself＿＿＿＿＿so much money.

A. for

B. by

C. to

D. of

表示“自取，随便拿”这个意义的短语是hel p oneself to… 故答案为C。

3.扎实基础，搞清辨异

Soon I heard a＿＿＿＿＿like that of a door burst in and then a climb of feet.

A. sound

B. cry

C. voice

D. shout

选项中的四个词都表示不同的声音，但B，C，D项的三个词都是指从嗓子里发出的声音，而sound则表示各种各样的声音。因此答案是A。

4.看清执行者，确定所选词

And video cameras can be used to＿＿＿＿＿people’s actions at home.

A. keep

B. make

C. record

D. watch

句中动作的发出者是video cameras 因此答案是C，意思是“记录”。

5.寻求上下逻辑，从容确定关系

It has been many years since I was last in London ＿＿＿＿＿I still remember something that happened during that visit.

A. and

B. for

C. but

D. as

根据句前的many years和句后的still remember答案应选表示转折的连词but.

6.了解生活常识，确定相关知识(Immediately )the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the＿＿＿＿＿hospital.

A. animal

B. biggest

C. plant

D. nearest

在这样的紧急情况下，人们的第一个反应是到最近的医院就医，因此答案为D。

(你预定了没有？) 2) I will accept the suggestion without reservation. (我将毫无保留地接受这项建议。) 3) The government has set apart Indian reservations. (政府已经划出印地安人保留地。) preservation 保存 We must strive for the preservation of our natural resources. (我们必须努力保护自然资源)conservation, preservation, reservation从汉语概念出发时很容易混淆。Conservation是动词conserve派生的名词, 与原来动词的意义相同, 表示"保持、保存”时, 强调“珍惜、节用。 Preservation 是动词preserve派生的名词, 强调“收藏、保存”使之完好无损或质量不变; 常与食品、博物馆收藏的展品等词搭配。Reservation主要指意见、看法等的“保留”; 作“保留地”解时, 尤指美国印地安人保留地或澳大利亚土著民族保留地。本题指自然生态的保持, 用conservation最切题。

[注意]likely与possible在结构搭配上的区别。Likely可用于下列句型中：1)It is likely that...例如：It is highly likely that he will succeed.（很可能他会成功。）2)think(feel, consider)it likely ...例如：I think it likely that we will ultimately get a certain amount of money.3)be likely to do sth.例如：He is likely to see you again .但下面的句型是错误的，It is likely for sb to do sth.所以think it likely for sb. to do sth.也是错误的，故本题不能选likely.
