完形填空(cloze)

英语完形填空易错题拓展（初）知识定位完型填空（CLOZE TEST）是初中英语试题中固定而重要的题型。

它是一种障碍性的测试题。

在一定程度上考查考生的阅读能力、逻辑推理及分析归纳、综合判断能力。

这种题型在整份试卷中所占的分值较重，占10%-15%，长度一般在130-200 个单词左右。

知识梳理完形填空所选短文一般无标题,文章的第一句话往往是引领全文的主题句（不会挖空）,或者引出主题思想的相关内容,是了解文章全貌的"窗口"。

如果第一段第一句话很容易看懂,看完第一句话便可以迅速往下看.要是第一句话费解,不容易看懂,那么不妨看其他段落的首句,以及最后一句,以便能对全文做出大致的推测,心中有一个做题的方向。

然后,迅速浏览全篇,不为空白处纠缠,捕捉文章的中心.这期间,需要根据上下文,有时还要参照各选项所ᨀ供的信息,进行理解.如果是故事性文章,时间,地点,人物就是关键词;抓住了关键词就抓住了故事的线索,就能理解全文。

若是论述文,主题句,拓展句的识别十分重要,其中表达前后逻辑关系的连接性的词是理解全篇的重要线索.由于短文中抽空达到10 个,失去信息较多,如果考生浏览后不清楚其主题脉络,也不必为此过多担心,至少浏览一遍后有了一个初步印象,为后面做题和逐步理解创造了条件. 相当多的题目无须联系全篇就能解决,过多联系上下文反而耽误时间.所以考生不必因为没弄清文章整体大意而惴惴不安,影响做题.当然,事先了解文章大意不论是对做语义逻辑题还是词汇语法题都是有帮助的,但前ᨀ是不能在理解上花费太多的时间,毕竟这不是阅读理解题。

做题的思路：1. 先扫一遍整篇文章，看文章中主要讲的是什么内容。

圈出一些关键的连词。

（如but, and, not only… but also）2. 一句句仔细看文章。

一般来说整篇文章作者的褒贬是一致的。

掌握作者的主旨，如果说文章说某个人好，通篇都会说好。

3. 结合上下文的意思猜测文章的中空需要的意思。

完型填空完型填空（Cloze Test）应试技巧完型填空是测试考生语篇理解能力和词汇运用能力的一种综合手段。

做完型填空题，考生必须具有扎实的语法基础、比较牢固的词汇基础以及良好的语感。

1.做题步骤1）通览全篇，分文体，定结构，知大意。

做完型填空题，答题的关键在于准确理解短文的大意。

要做到这一点，就要分清文章的文体与行文结构。

本题的短文多为说明文或议论文，结构较紧凑，往往开门见山地提出主题，然后逐点说明或评议，最后小结。

所以做题前应浏览全篇，重点是首段、尾段以及每段的首句、尾句。

2）初选答案，理脉络，顾前后，忌恋战。

在掌握文章大意的基础上，根据上下文所提供的搭配、结构、语义等线索来初选答案。

初选时，要着眼空格所在的完整句子，瞻前顾后，重点解决与结构、搭配有关的小题。

对于个别词汇的考题，如果一时难以抉择，不要恋战，而是继续往下进行，往往进行到下文，对前边的问题就会有了主意。

3）复读全文，核答案，句通顺，意要畅题目做完后，要通读“完型”后的全文，核查自己所选的答案能否使文章连贯，语法正确。

如果你发现你所选的某个答案放在句中读起来很别扭，那么你的语感在提醒你对此答案要三思。

2.判断技巧做完型填空题时，在遵循以上三个步骤的同时，还要注意解题思路或技巧。

1）搭配判断法根据对以往考试的分析，搭配型题目在完型填空题中占的比例最重。

搭配型问题主要测试常见搭配的熟练程度，比如说哪些词要搭配不定式、动名词或某种从句，哪些词必须与某个介词搭配。

我们在复习时要特别注意短语动词和介词的固定搭配。

2）结构判断法结构型问题主要包括句型、句式、连接词的选择等，解题时要运用句法知识，把握关键词，从而做出迅速正确的判断。

完型填空题目中有很多是利用语法的正确性与逻辑的排斥性间的矛盾来设计的。

因此考生应结合上下文的合理性及意义关系的逻辑性选择最佳答案。

完型填空中常考的逻辑关系主要有：A.转折、让步：这种关系表明后一种观点或事实与前一种观点或事实相比有些出乎意料。

第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的所给选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

大学英语四级完型题型分析及解题技巧大学英语四级完型题型分析及解题技巧一、题型分析完型填空(cloze)是在一篇长度约为200词、题材熟悉、难度适中的短文中留出20个空白，每个空白为一题，每个题分别提供四个选择项，要求考生在全面理解文章内容的基础上，从这四个选择项中为每题选择一个最佳答案，从而使短文意义连贯、结构完整。

该部分占卷面分数10％。

完形填空的题型主要有以下特点：1、全文所设置的20个空白的间隔有的词多, 有的词少。

其原因是设置空白需要根据语言点和考点。

2、从选项来看, 每小题的4个选项一般都属于相同或对等的词类或结构, 属于同一范畴。

20个小题的80个选项中所用到的词汇或结构基本不重复, 以期增大考查的覆盖面。

3、从考查能力的重点看, 是以考查对文章的通篇理解和词汇意义为主。

单纯从语法角度命制的题不多, 一般需要考生把握上下文语境的逻辑关系, 掌握一定的常识, 理解词语的搭配等。

总体上讲, 完形填空主要考查考生对语段的连贯性和一致性等特征的辨识能力, 以及对一定语境中规范的语言成分的掌握, 是对考生综合运用语言能力的大检验。

二、常考考点完型填空题测试点主要在词法、语法、语篇和背景知识几方面。

1、词汇辨析词汇是完形填空的最大的考点，近几年，完型填空部分中的词汇辨析的难度在上升，由以往以语篇理解为主的词汇考查转向对较高难度词汇进行考查。

主要考查实词，如名词、形容词、动词、副词。

对名词的测试要点主要是同义词和反义词辨义。

对形容词的测试要点是形容词做定语、表语，形容词最高级和比较级等。

对动词的测试要点是短语、惯用语及虚拟语气。

副词的考查内容包括各类副词(地点副词、时间副词、方式副词、程度副词、连接副词和疑问副词)。

选项往往以同义词，近义词，反义词或形近易混词的形式出现。

固定搭配以动词、形容词与副词、介词构成的词组居多。

这些词组出现在完形填空中，主要以副词和介词为考点。

此部分的出题方式一般是把介词和副词抽出来作选择题，给考生的表面印象是考介词、副词，可是实际考的是短语或惯用语；有时候也会考某些介词的独立用法。

On Christmas Eve, young children find the excitement almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to go to bed early so that Father Christmas will bring their presents quickly and the wish to __2__ up late so that they will not miss the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger.

Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bicycles.But no bike lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don’t like the idea-they say it will __7__ traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like this idea-they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.They city government hasn’t yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy.
