了解命題者視角，“三步走”攻破完形填空

秦媛

編者按：從2016年第1期開始，英語科目將注重于題型專項提升，聚焦題型難點和易錯點，幫助考生彌補知識漏洞。

文章的開頭通常會出現一個完整的句子，提示全文，讓考生迅速進入主題，為理解文章奠定基礎。

語篇層次設空的比例有所增加，超過了三分之一，使考生無法憑某個單句的其他部分就能得出答案。文中“掩埋”的線索包括文章的話題、主題、背景、人物、時間、地點、事件等，考生應以這些線索來解題、確定文體，從而把握文章的發展方向，達到順利“完形”的目的。

不少考生看了很多完形填空解題技巧后還是一頭霧水，原因是沒有真正認識到完形填空的考查關鍵。

大家不妨和筆者站在命題者的角度來看看完形填空是怎樣“編”出來的，知道了命題的思路，了解了設題的角度和選詞的方向，難題自然迎刃而解。下面筆者就以一篇完形填空作為案例，總結、分析高考完形填空考查的方向及規律。

（1）從上下文的角度考慮

完形填空必須從上下文的角度考慮，很多問題都要根據上下文來解答。第1題，該題的答案是B，如果只讀短文的第一句和第二句，很難確定答案，因為該題的其他三個選項都可以放進句中，語法正確，句子意義也完整。但根據第三句提示可知，該人闖入的是一家銀行

（2）從詞匯意義及用法的角度考慮

完形填空題中考查詞匯意義及用法的題目逐年增多，是完形填空題的主流。要做好這類題，首先要具備較大的詞匯量儲備，以及在語句中準確理解詞意的能力，考生做題時應結合上下文的意思，鎖定正確詞匯。如第5題考查考生對名詞意義的掌握，考生首先要準確理解四個選項用詞，再結合上文“One hundred and fifty thousand，”Todd whistled，及下文的managed to get...可知，這時Todd想到的應是得到錢不容易，故該題正確選項為B。因此平時在記單詞時，一定要做到詞不離句，句不離文

（3）從邏輯推理、常識等角度考慮

如第17題，Todd所在的汽車加油站附近的道路叫什么，按常理他應該知道，所以該題應選B

再如第25題，根據上下文我們可以知道，Todd抓住了強盜，絕對不會讓強盜選擇舉手還是出去，而是舉著手出去。所以該題答案是B而不是A

（4）從習慣用法和搭配的角度考慮

第4題，如果只看四個選項，這道題似乎是在考查介詞的用法，認真閱讀上下文后，才會發現help oneself to sth.是固定詞組，意為“自取……”。沒有理解到這層意思，是很難做對此題的。另外，對于習慣用法和詞組搭配的意思也應放在語言環境中去記憶，有的考生只知道 help oneself to...是“請隨便……”，因此，要理解透句子的意思才能正確作答。

名師總結：解題“三步走”

第一步：快讀全文，整體理解全文大意

短文的第一句一般不設題，考生要認真、重點理解這一句的意思，了解文章背景，理清文章內容的線索。在快速閱讀過程中，不要急于動筆選擇答案，要一口氣讀到底，遇到不懂的地方先跳過去，繼續往下讀，切忌看一句選一題。

第二步：細讀全文，上下聯系，通篇考慮

在一篇完形填空短文中，往往有這種情況，聯系上下文找答案時，聯系上文較易，聯系下文就比較難。因此，第一遍閱讀時，理解全文大意非常關鍵。另外，在做題時，如遇到一題確實答不出，可先跳過去往下做，很可能下文中就有了上題的暗示或相關信息。

第三步：再讀全文，核對文意，糾正錯誤

題目做完后，應根據所選答案，再通讀一遍全文，檢查一下全文是否通順、流暢，用詞是否達意，上下文是否連貫，有無前后矛盾的邏輯錯誤。特別是一些考查詞意及搭配的題目，一定要從詞匯搭配與上下文意思是否有合理的邏輯關系去考慮，不要硬套搭配而不顧上下文意思。
