专题14　完形填空
完形填空答题技巧

完形填空主要测验学生的语言综合运用能力，包括基础知识的掌握和运用，对整个文章逻辑联系的理解，在情景中辨析词义的能力以及词组短语搭配的使用能力，这是大部分考生认为难度最大的考查项目。只要我们有信心，有良好的心理素质，再加上一定的技巧，完形填空并不是不可逾越的鸿沟。
首先，从心理上，平心静气，不急不躁。对完形填空心存恐惧，是导致失误的重要原因。集中思想、树立信心、平心静气、去除杂念才是做好完形填空题的保证。其次，从答题策略上，要把握以下几方面：浏览全文，把握大意；运用语法理顺关系；遇到难词反复默念；注意上下连贯，合乎逻辑；细心检查避免疏漏。
第一、浏览全文，把握大意
这是做完形填空的第一步，以快速阅读的方式浏览全文，了解文章大意，抓住主题和关键词，避免断章取义，减少解题时的盲目性，这样可以为解题做好准备。浏览全文能获得更多的上下文提供的信息，并根据文章的内在逻辑意义、贯穿文章始终的主线以及作者行文的走向，把握文脉，调整并定位自己的解题思路，从而做出最终的判断。
第二、运用语法理顺关系
语法知识是指导完形填空的法宝，词汇是根据语法规则确定各自的位置，有了语法规则文章才能有条不紊、顺理成章。完形填空题实际上是“形断意不断，貌离神不离”，语法规则起到“牵动荷花带出藕”的功效。如介词后的代词必然是宾格；物质名词一般不用复数；形容词必须放在不定代词后；行为动词的否定和疑问句应由助动词do构成等。另外，语法还包括时态、语气、非谓语动词、关系代词和关系副词、分句、语态及习惯用法等语法现象。
第三、遇到难词反复默念
有时会遇到这样的情况，大部分词都填出来了，只有一两个难词绞尽脑汁仍不得要领，如果考试时间允许，不要轻易放弃，要穷追不舍，先从语法角度考虑，再从逻辑角度考虑是否有隐含意思、作者的情感以及背景文化和习俗等。有时句子好像什么也不缺，读上去很完整，就必须考虑，很可能缺的就是连词and，副词then，always，sometimes等，如果还未填出，应反复默念几遍，有些词就会悄然而至，在你的记忆中浮现出来。
第四、注意上下连贯，合乎逻辑
这是从句子结构来考虑的。例如：一个空白在两个句子之间，就要根据上下文的语境和上下文的关系，选用并列连词and，but，or，however，therefore，while等连接两个并列句；或用who，which，that，whose，whom，when，where，why等关系代词或关系副词连接定语从句；或用whoever，whatever，what，who，when，where，how，why，if，whether，that等连接词连接名词性从句，或用when，where，because，unless，though，even if，so that等从属连词连接各种状语从句。如果我们知道它们的基本用法和彼此间的区别，填上所选词后句子的意思和结构都完整，上下连贯。把握住语篇的行文逻辑，那么选定最佳答案就不难了。
第五、细心检查，避免疏漏
全部答案选定后，文章完整了，应再从头至尾读一遍。这也是最关键的一点，这就要求细心检查每一个填空处是否有笔误或疏漏的地方来调整答案。细心检查，反复回读，能够减少疏漏，提高完形填空的正确率。凡不通之处，必有待推敲的疑点，应从意义、语法、行文逻辑等方面仔细权衡，加以改正。例如：从语法上，检查所完成的句子是否主谓一致；时态、语态是否正确；名词、代词的性、格是否一致；动词、名词、形容词与介词或副词等的搭配是否准确无误。对于个别难度较大的空白，可以凭着自己的语感，坚持第一感觉选择的答案。

考点1　猜测生词扫清阅读障碍
真题解密
We all know that some things are obviously right.For example，it is right to be __1__ to other people.It is also right to look after the environment.Some things are __2__ wrong，too.For instance，we should not hurt or bully others，nor should we litter.Rules often tell us what is right or wrong. (2012·广东)
1．A.kind B．sensitive
C．fair D．generous
2．A.equally B．slightly
C．clearly D．increasingly
答案　1.A　2.C
解析　第二个空格后的bully，litter可能对很大一部分同学来说较陌生，但它对解题没有影响。第1题考查词汇的反义重现现象。下文中的hurt和空格形成对比，只有kind符合语境。第2题考查语境逻辑，由后面的for instance，we should not...，nor should...等字眼可以确定这些类似的事情都是很明显的错误。故答案为C项。for instance后内容是解释前边一句话的，因此我们只需要知道bully和litter是贬义词即可。
趁热打铁
We have been driving in fog all morning，but the fog is lifting now.The little seaside villages are __36__，one by one.“There is my grandmother’s house，” I say，__37__ across the bay to a shabby old house.
I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage(朝圣) with Lise，my granddaughter，seeking roots for her，retracing(追溯) __38__ memory for me.Lise was one of the mobile children，__39__ from house to house in childhood.She longs for a sense of __40__，and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors __41__ for 200 years.
We soon __42__ by the house and I tell her what it was like here，the memories __43__ back，swift as the tide(潮水)．
Suddenly，I long to walk again in the __44__ where I was once so gloriously a child.It still __45__ a member of the family，but has not been lived in for a while.We cannot go into the house，but I can still walk __46__ the rooms in memory.Here，my mother __47__ in her bedroom window and wrote in her diary.I can still see the enthusiastic family __48__ into and out of the house.I could never have enough of being __49__ them.However，that was long after those childhood days.Lise __50__ attentively as I talk and then says，“So this is where I __51__；where I belong.”
She has __52__ her roots.To know where I come from is one of the great longings of the human __53__.To be rooted is “to have an origin”．We need __54__ origin.Looking backward，we discover what is unique in us；learn the __55__ of “I”．We must all go home again—in reality or memory. (2013·福建)

在完形填空中遇到生词是常见的现象，但这却影响了考生对文章的理解判断，并无形中增加了考生的心理压力，对正常发挥不利。一般说来，完形中的生词不会出现在选项中。对于那些不影响文章理解的生词，我们不必去深究，通过上下文了解其大概意义即可，有时可以忽略；而对于比较重要的和解题有关的生词，要注意构词法、上下句语义、语法逻辑或根据中心思想推敲句子间的逻辑等来把握词义。

考点2　分析句子结构破解长难句
真题解密
__41__ I’d left myself plenty of time，soon it was __42__ I was going to be late，as I had mistakenly boarded a bus that was taking me in the __43__direction. (2012·安徽)
41．A.Although B．Since
C．Unless D．Once
42．A.strange B．necessary
C．obvious D．important
43．A.same B．right
C．general D．opposite
答案　41.A　42.C　43.D
解析　原题是一个复杂句。第一个逗号前后是两个主谓结构，故第41题应填入一个连词，分析前后句之间的语意可知两者之间为让步关系，故用although。先由mistakenly boarded a bus可知是坐错了车，从而走错了方向，所以43题是opposite，所以很明显要迟到了，所以第42题应填obvious。
趁热打铁
Number sense is not the ability to count.It is the ability to recognize a __1__ in number.Human beings are born with this ability. __2__，experiments show that many animals are，too.For example，many birds have good number sense.If a nest has four eggs and you remove one，the bird will not __3__.However，if you remove two，the bird __4__ leaves.This means that the bird knows the __5__ between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s __6__ number sense.A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower，but the crow always left when she saw him coming.The bird did not __7__ until the man left the tower.The man had an __8__.He took another man with him to the tower.One man left and the other stayed，but they did not __9__ the bird.The crow stayed away until the second man left，too.The experiment was __10__ with three men and then with four men.But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were __11__.It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were __12__ able to fool the crow.
How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good.For example，babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a __13__ group.But when the number goes beyond three or four，the children are __14__ fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world，and that our human __15__ is not much better than a crow’s. (2013·广东)
1．A.rise B．pattern C．change D．trend
答案　C
解析　由下文的两个实验来看，都是数字的“变化”。其他三个选项“上升”“样式”“趋势”与文中内容几乎毫无关系。
2．A.Importantly B．Surprisingly
C．Disappointedly D．Fortunately
答案　B
解析　因“实验表明许多动物也跟人类一样具有这种能力”，这是“令人惊讶的”。其他选项“重要地”“失望地”“幸运地”与上下文内容无联系。
3．A.survive B．care
C．hatch D．notice
答案　D
解析　结合下句，特别是however可知，上下句的大意应是“如果鸟巢内有四个蛋，你移走一个蛋，这只鸟会注意不到；然而，如果你移走两个蛋，这只鸟通常会离开这里”。其他选项“幸存”“关心”“孵化”不合语境。
4．A.generally B．sincerely
C．casually D．deliberately
答案　A
解析　这只鸟“通常”会离开，因为这个具体的例子是用来说明“many birds have good number sense”这个主题的。其它选项“真诚地”“无意地”“故意地”不合语境。
5．A.distance B．range
C．difference D．interval
答案　C
解析　这个例子谈到，四个中移走一个余下三个，这只鸟不会注意到；若移走两个，余下两个了，这只鸟就会离开这里了。这说明这只鸟知道余下两个与余下三个的“差别”。其余选项“距离”“范围”“间隔”与语境不符。
6．A.amazing B．annoying
C．satisfying D．disturbing
答案　A
解析　与上文中good number sense(良好的数字感)中的good相对应，也与第2题的答案surprisingly相对，故选“amazing (令人惊异的)”，近义复现。其他选项“讨厌的”“令人满意的”“烦扰的”不合语境。
7．A.relax B．recover
C．react D．return
答案　D
解析　选return与left相对，与下文中return to the nest的return是原词复现。
8．A.appointment B．excuse
C．idea D．explanation
答案　C
解析　从下文看，这个人有了一个“主意”或想了一个“办法”。 其他选项“约会”“借口”“解释”均不合语境。
9．A.fool B．hurt C．catch D．kill
答案　A
解析　由but可知，他们并没能“欺骗”那只乌鸦。与下文fool the crow中的fool是原词复现，也就是说从此可以得到启示。
10．A.reported B．repeated
C．designed D．approved
答案　B
解析　该实验先由一个人去接近那只乌鸦，然后又带一个人即共两个人去做这个实验，接着三个人、四个人去“重复”做这个实验。其他选项“报告”“设计”“证明”均与语境不符。
11．A.confused B．gone
C．tired D．drunk
答案　B
解析　那只乌鸦直到所有人都“不见了”才会回来。
12．A.gradually B．luckily
C．strangely D．finally
答案　D
解析　前面已分别由一个人、二个人、三个人、四个人重复做了四次了，直到五个人进了塔走了四个，即还有一个在塔里，他们才“最终”欺骗了这只乌鸦。结合文章倒数第二段讲14个月大的婴儿在数量超过三四个之后就常常被欺骗，就可理解。
13．A.single B．small C．local D．new
答案　B
解析　由下文“But when the number goes beyond three or four...”可知，是指三四个以内的这样一“小”组东西。
14．A.seldom B．temporarily
C．merely D．often
答案　D
解析　由but可知，后文是表示与always notice相对的意思，当数量超过三四个以后，就“常常”能欺骗这些婴儿了。其他选项“很少”“暂时地”“只是”与语境不符。
15．A.sight B．nature
C．ability D．belief
答案　C
解析　由文章的首段可知，本文在讲到人具有数字感的同时，重点是讲动物的数字感，即有辨别数字变化的“能力”。
名师点津
分析长难句可从下面几点入手：
1．找出谓语动词
找到了谓语动词，就说明有句子存在。有时态的动词通常是谓语。然后，顺着谓语动词往前找，如果有引导词存在，说明这个谓语动词所在的句子就是个从句，再根据引导词前的单词判定该从句的类型。如果没有引导词存在，那说明这是主句的谓语动词，那它的前面就是主语，后面就应该是宾语或表语。
2．寻找并列连词
常见的并列连词有and，but，yet，or，so，for，not only...but also...看到这些单词，一般就有并列结构存在，并且很可能存在着省略问题。
3．寻找引导词
找到引导词就找到了从句，再根据引导词前的单词确定其是什么从句。
4．寻找名词
一般的长句子中，名词后只要不是谓语动词，一般都有修饰限定成分，即定语或同位语。也就是说，我们只要能寻找到名词，其后的句子成分就确定是修饰或解释前面的名词的。

One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow.__1__ the little bird had flown into our open garage.Then I __2__ the bird before I saw it.
“What’s that？”I asked when I first heard the sound.
“It’s coming from the __3__，” my wife，Anita，said.“Maybe it’s one of the little __4__.”
I looked into the garage.No children at all.But there was that sound again，coming from right up there.And that’s __5__ I saw the sparrow.It was flying __6__ just inches below the ceiling.It was clearly __7__ to get out，but couldn’t see the way out was not up，but __8__ and out through the garage door.So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumpin
