2、章的理解难度也就随之增加;章的理解难度也就随之增加;4、体裁多样化。所选文章多为记叙文,也有说明文、议论文等;、体裁多样化。所选文章多为记叙文,也有说明文、议论文等;5、以考查实词为主,虚词为辅;单词为主,短语为辅。、以考查实词为主,虚词为辅;单词为主,短语为辅。分析近几年全国及各省市高考英语试题可知,今后完形填空问题分析近几年全国及各省市高考英语试题可知,今后完形填空问题的设置将在如下几个方面中进行;的设置将在如下几个方面中进行;1.主旨推断法;主旨推断法;2.正向推断法;正向推断法;3.逆向推断法;逆向推断法;4.正向逆向合推法;正向逆向合推法;5.直接推断法;直接推断法;6.全文综合推断
3、法。全文综合推断法。一、主旨推断法一、主旨推断法主旨推断法就是利用完型短文的提示句(多为首句,一般不设空)推主旨推断法就是利用完型短文的提示句(多为首句,一般不设空)推出全文的主旨,并在主旨的指导下对下文或全文开展合乎情理的想象。出全文的主旨,并在主旨的指导下对下文或全文开展合乎情理的想象。例例1 (2004年,全国年,全国I)It was the night before the composition was due.As l looked at the list of topics(题目题目),“The Art of eating Spaghetti(意大利面条意大利面条)”caught

5、较大的帮助。二、正向推断法二、正向推断法正向推断法就是根据上文提供的点滴信息,结合文章的主旨,对正向推断法就是根据上文提供的点滴信息,结合文章的主旨,对某空所需要的信息进行正确合理的推断。某空所需要的信息进行正确合理的推断。进行正向推断时要确保进行正向推断时要确保从上文推断出的信息准确无误,应特别注意上下文的连贯顺畅,从上文推断出的信息准确无误,应特别注意上下文的连贯顺畅,这时,可利用一些逻辑性较强的连词,如:这时,可利用一些逻辑性较强的连词,如:but,and,so,however,therefore,because等。等。例例2 (2004年,湖北)年,湖北)Clay was astoni
6、shed.“But Im going all the way to South Carolina,and Ill be gone for two weeks,”she 47 them.47.A.persuaded B.advised C.reminded D.promised分析分析 由由“but”,“all the way to South Carolina”,“two weeks”可知,可知,Clay在提醒在提醒Paul 夫妇自己不能在短时间内还车。夫妇自己不能在短时间内还车。答案答案 C点评点评 做正向推断类的题目时,要充分利用所给出的连词。做正向推断类的题目时,要充分利用所给出的连词。
7、三、逆向推断法三、逆向推断法逆向推断法就是某空档所需要的信息只能从下文所提供的信息逆向推断法就是某空档所需要的信息只能从下文所提供的信息反向推断而出。它可以通过某些逻辑性较强的连词来进行合理反向推断而出。它可以通过某些逻辑性较强的连词来进行合理的推断。的推断。例例3 (2004年,广东)年,广东)l felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be 44 to get a job without experience.44.A.difficult B.helpless C.possible D.unusual 分析分析 根据上文

9、环境进行联合推断,这时更应借助上下文的语意,尤其是一些逻辑性较强的连词,进行合理的、严密的时更应借助上下文的语意,尤其是一些逻辑性较强的连词,进行合理的、严密的逻辑判断,从而得出正确的信息。逻辑判断,从而得出正确的信息。例例4 (2004年,湖北模拟)年,湖北模拟)Drinking coffee in the caf,he would easily make friends with students.Sometimes he would 45 a student to a game of chess(国际象棋)(国际象棋).46 ,he would join student groups t
