完形填空淺析

韓麗

《普通高中英語課程標準（實驗）》中明確提出“高中階段要著重提高學生用英語獲取信息和處理信息，分析問題和解決問題的能力”，這就要求學生要不斷地提高相應的各項能力。同時，新課標還要求我們要注重學生的思想情感教育。而完形填空主要就考查了學生的綜合語言分析與運用能力。下面，筆者就以英語周報上的一篇完形填空為例，簡要分析一下完形填空的一些解題技巧。

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a diffcult first day on the job. A flat tire made him 21_ an hour of work， his electric saw quit， and now his pickup truck 22_ to start. He sat in silence while I drove him home.

On arriving， he invited me in to 23_ his family. As we walked toward the front door， he paused briefly at a 24_， touching tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door， he 25_ amazingly. His face was wreathed in smiles， and he hugged his two children. Afterward he 26_ me back to the car. We passed the tree， and my 27_ got the better of me， so I asked him about what I had seen him do 28_.

“Oh， thats my trouble tree，” he replied. “I know I cant 29_ troubles on my job， but one thing is 30_ troubles dont belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just 31_ the troubles on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the 32_ I pick them up again.”

He smiled and continued，“33_ thing is， when I come out in the morning to pick them up， there arent 34_ as many as I remember hanging up the night before.”

I dont know who first told this story， 35_ he or she must have been a very wise person. Putting boundaries around our problems is a really good idea： it 36_ our difficulties from spilling over onto other people， especially 37_ ones， who cant do anything about our problems. Why burden them if they cant 38_ us？

So， plant yourself a trouble tree outside your front door and 39_ it whenever you come home.

And when you pick up your troubles on the way out each morning， be 40_ that theyre not as heavy as they were the night before.

首先，快速瀏覽全文，掌握文章的大意，同時重點掌握文章中的who， where ，when， what幾大要素，為之后的解題創造良好的條件。以此篇文章為例，它講述了“栽棵煩惱樹，讓它去承載自己的煩惱，而不要把壞情緒帶給家人。”

其次，仔細閱讀文章，根據故事情節的發展來選詞。

1.從簡單句就可以選出答案，這是設計最簡單的一類題。如：

39.D.栽上棵煩惱樹，回家時（如果有煩惱）利用（use）它（承載你的煩惱）。

40.A.煩惱變得不那么重，所以應該感激（grateful）。

2.通過前后對應的方法進行選擇。在一篇完形填空當中，經常是就一句而言，很難選出正確答案，但如果你繼續讀下去，就會發現與此問題有關的信息的出現，這些信息往往會直接或間接地給我們提示，從而作出正確選擇。如：

24.C.由后面的branches以及下一段中的my trouble tree提示可知。

31.D.下一段中的I remember hanging up the nignt before.為信息提示。

32.A.與前一句中的every night 呼應，以及最后一段中的each morning也可以提示。

3.根據句子之間的關系。如遞進、讓步、轉折、并列、條件、因果關系等。如：

35.C.由句意可知前后兩句為轉折關系。

在做題時還要注意時間的安排，一篇完形填空一般在10鐘左右完成，否則就會造成閱讀理解或作文來不及做。這就需要我們在平時的練習中，掌握技巧的同時要有計劃、按步驟，由簡到難地進行有針對性的專項訓練。只要我們堅持不懈，相信我們的完形填空的解題能力一定會得到提高。
