完形填空題是英語(yǔ)試卷上客觀性試題的重要組成部分,旨在全面考查同學(xué)們綜合運(yùn)用語(yǔ)言的能力,其中包括詞匯辨析能力、閱讀和理解能力、邏輯推理和判斷能力等。近幾年的高考完形填空題基本遵循了“突出語(yǔ)篇、強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)用、注重交際”的命題思路,所選短文一般是從交代背景開(kāi)始,逐步推進(jìn),直到高潮,最后結(jié)局,環(huán)環(huán)相扣,條理清楚,具有濃厚的生活氣息。
從答題角度來(lái)說(shuō),完形填空題一般是一段意義相對(duì)完整的短文,有自己的主題思想、組織結(jié)構(gòu)、邏輯關(guān)系和語(yǔ)言特色,所以一定要考慮清楚文章的主要線索才能順利解答。下面以2006年高考浙江卷完形填空題為例,談?wù)勍晷翁羁疹}解題技巧。

1. 通覽全文,把握主題
通覽全文旨在從整體上把握全文,了解短文的主題和大意、作者的觀點(diǎn)和思路、文章的線索等信息,注意短文中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的主題詞。運(yùn)用“跳讀”或“邊讀邊猜”等閱讀技巧,可減少短文被“挖空”所帶來(lái)的理解障礙。
上面這篇例文夾敘夾議,講述一對(duì)夫妻在生活中的一件小事,從而引出“人要學(xué)會(huì)有耐心”這一主題。整篇短文圍繞patience和wait training等主題詞。如由“How are you with13(patience)? One person calls it ‘wait training’”得出 “Patience is an important 15(quality) of a happy rewarding life”的結(jié)論,最后以一句“How is your 20(wait training) coming along?”結(jié)束全文。
2. 重視首句,弄清背景
一般而言,為了使讀者了解事情發(fā)展的相關(guān)背景知識(shí),短文的首句不設(shè)填空。針對(duì)這一點(diǎn),做題時(shí)有必要弄懂文中具體語(yǔ)境中what, who, when, where, how等方面的具體信息。如:例文的首句 “One man was to meet his wife downtown and spend some time shopping with her”說(shuō)明了何人、何事、何地等信息,為后文 “他”的情緒發(fā)生變化提供了背景。……
