解高考英语完形填空题的14种技巧
1. 跳读首尾句进行预测
一般来讲，高考完形填空的首、尾句通常是不挖空的。先跳读这两句，便可判断体裁，猜想它要讲什么。若首句交代了when, where, who, what，即四个W，那么就是记叙文，很可能就是一个故事，为了测试语篇的理解能力，出题者特别注意选材的趣味性，其结尾往往出人意料，耐人寻味；若首句是提出或解释说明某事物，一般来说是说明文；若首句提出一个论点，那么就是议论文。
首句往往开宗明义，是文章的主题。细读首句可启示全文。而尾句又往往是对文章主题的总结。所以，它们是了解文章大意的一个窗口，对我们理解全文有着重要的启示作用。因此，要充分利用段首句提供的信息，去挖掘文章的思路，寻找文章的脉络与线索。
Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist (打击乐器独奏演员) in spite of her disability.
本文主要讲述的是苏格兰第一位女打击乐器独奏演员Evelyn Glennie在耳聋的情况下成功学习打击乐器的经历。根据首句给出的信息，下面我们可以猜想Evelyn Glennie学习打击乐器过程必然充满困难，而能够在耳聋的情况下学习打击乐器，Evelyn Glennie对音乐肯定也是充满热情的。
2. 利用语法分析解题
完形填空虽然以语境填空为主，但也有部分考查语法项目的题目。对于这类题，考生可以利用平时所学的词汇知识，分析单词(组)的使用范围、动词的及物和不及物，并利用句子结构、句式特点等知识全面衡量所有选项排除干扰。如：
1) ____do you suppose he asked for them?
. A. What B. How C. Who D. Which
2) ____ I had been born in the 16th century, I would have had no job.
. A. Because B. While C. If D. Since
3. 利用固定搭配解题
完形填空题中对词汇知识的考查，主要体现在习惯用法和同义词、近义词的辨析两方面。习惯用法是英语中某种固定的结构形态，即所谓的“习语”，不能随意改动。所以，考生平时应掌握好习惯用法。对词义辨析题的考查有加大力度的趋势。要做好这类题，需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力，特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力。如：
1) They couldn’t read or write. They didn’t like to work and they never ____ baths.
A. took
B. washed
C. ran
D. covered
2) I did very badly at school. My headmaster thought I was useless and when I was 14 he said, “You’re neve r
going to be ____ but a failure.”
A. anything
B. something
C. everything
D. nothing
4. 利用固定句型解题
完形填空虽然注重考查语境理解，但同时也会考到一些固定句型，考生掌握好这些句型，对确定题目的答案很有帮助。如：
!) I haven’t had a phone in the house for three weeks now, and it’s several days ___ I used a ph one box.
A. as
B. when
C. if
D. since
2) It wasn’t long _____the police caught the thief.
A. after
B. when
C. before
D. until
3) “Why _____ you take a big man with you? You have to fight the sailor who is drunk.”
A. don’t
B. couldn’t
C. can’t
D. do
语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象，如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现，结构同现，同义同现，修饰同现，因果同现等。因此，利用上下文寻找解题信息，确定正确答案。如：
1) First of all, I respected his _____ to teaching. Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom.
A. attention
B. introduction
C. relation
D. devotion
2) I put my head in, expecting the worst. But to my surprise, the room wasn’t empty at all. It had furniture, curtains, a TV, and even paintings on the wall. And then on the well-made bed sat Amy, my new ____, dressed neatly.
A. roommate
B. classmate
C. neighbor
D. companion
6. 利用跳读法解题
一般而言，完形填空要填的20空中总有一些空是相对简单的。对于这类空格考生可以先将其确定下来，之后再逐个去突破其他空。跳过那些不太容易得出答案的题。切忌做题时循规蹈矩地一个顺着一个地去完成。如：
“Visitors!” repeated Josh, wide-awake at once. He__1__ up and looked around. A short distance away, a group of__2__ stood quietly watching us. One of them __3__ walking toward us. We both jumped to our __4__ not knowing what to expect.
1. A. sat B. stayed C. thought D. put
2. A. pilots B. natives C. editors D. assistants
3. A. avoided B. delayed C. began D. desired
4. A. boat B. car C. horses D. feet
7. 巧用排除法解题
在有些情况下，考生如果不能很有把握地直接得出某一道题的答案，可以把排除法和词汇、语法分析结合起来运用，缩小选择的范围，提高正确率。如：
1) The woman looked carefully at me ____ through her glasses, and then questioned me in a low voice.
A. as usual
B. for a while
C. in a minute
D. once again
2) He put the books into the return box. And after a brief ____ in the toilet, he would be on his way to the
playground to meet Eric.
A. rest
B. break
C. walk
D. stop
3) When I started playing ____ him, he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous.
A. at
B. by
C. for
D. around
8. 利用逻辑关系解题
尝试从逻辑关系的高度整体上把握，就会不无惊喜地发现逻辑关系才是征服完形填空的最佳途径。所谓逻辑关系并不缥缈，它就隐藏在句子中、句与句之间以及段落的衔接中。通过逻辑关系的方法，我们可以通过确切、具体的线索，把答案的逻辑意义推测出来，从而在答案中寻找表现了相同逻辑意义的选项。这样做，使得题目的难度大大降低。
(1) 句中逻辑关系
