（二）完形填空之生活哲理
英语完形填空解题技巧
一、英语完形填空的主要特点
n 1.通常从一篇250词左右，夹叙夹议的文章中设空20个，首句不挖空；
n 2.考点层次可分为四类：单词层次，词组层次，句子层次与语篇层次，文化背景;
n 3.干扰项设计严密，一般说来，四个选项的词性相同或属于同等或对等范畴，干扰项填入后在语法上并不存在错误，对考生有很大的迷惑作用。
二、英语完形填空的命题趋势
n 1、辨析词义，以实词为主。
n 2、记叙文为主，且第一局不设空。
n 3、生词量有增无减。
n 4、长句增加，句式灵活，结构复杂。
三、英语完形填空的失分原因分析
n 1、没有严格遵循答题步骤：
n 多数同学考试时担心时间紧,在没有弄清短文的中心和文章的情节线索的情况下匆忙答题.事实上我们用在这一题上的时间可以达到15-18分钟。
n 切记：一定要用2-3分钟时间进行缺词阅读,弄清文章大意和基本脉络后再着手逐个填空。
n 2、不注意积累答题技巧:
n a.忽略文章中上下文之间的照应关系;
n b.遇到长句不注意分析句子结构,在语义模糊时抱碰运气的心理随意作出选择。
四、完形填空解题步骤：通览------试填-----复核
1通览----速读全文，把握大意
快速阅读一下全文，通过通览全文、领会大意，概略地了解文章的体裁、背景、内容、结构层次、情节、写作风格等等。
2试填----紧扣文意，瞻前顾后
先易后难，逐层深入。紧扣全文内容，联系上下文和语境，展开逻辑推理，注意从上下文中寻找线索，注意词汇的意义、搭配，惯用法，语法，常识等多个角度进行综合考虑。
3复核----全面检查，确保语意连贯，用词准确
试填后，要把全文再通读一遍，注意看所选答案填入空白处后能否做到文章意思通顺、前后连贯、逻辑严谨、结构完整、首尾呼应。
五、解题技巧
1.充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。（同义词或反义词）
2.注意固定搭配
3.注意同义词的辨义
4.根据动作的发出者确定所选的词
5.根据上下文的逻辑关系确定选项
6.根据生活常识以及相关知识确定选项
7.利用语法知识选出正确选项
