【初中完形填空考点聚焦】
例1、主谓一致判断法
在英语句子里,谓语受主语支配,启动此必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致,这就叫主谓一致。我们在做完形填空题时,会经常遇到要靠主谓一致判断法来确定选项的情况。寻找其规律,大致可分为三个原则:即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就近原则。例:
...A short time ago , a test _____ given in the United States. ...The results showed that if a person _____ a right breakfast, he or she will work better than he or she who has no breakfast ...
1. A.is B.are C.was D.were
2. A.eat B.eats C.eating D.ate
例2、固定句式判断法
固定句式,就是英语中一些常见的固定句型,像:there be举行;not...until句型;It takes/took sb. +金钱/时间+to do sth.句型;It’s +形容词+(for sb.)to do sth,句型;too...to句型等。记住并灵活运用这些固定句式,在做完型填空时是很有用的,可以轻松快速帮助我们排除一些干扰因素,更快、更准的选择答案。
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel closer to someone. _____ is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with...
1.A.It B.He C.There D.Someone
例3、上下文暗示法
上下文暗示法分为上文语境暗示法和下文语境暗示两种。在做完型填空是,我们会经常遇到此类题目,若无上下文的提示,我们根本无法做出正确的选择;但是我们可以根据上下文的一些提示性的引导词判断上下文和空格部分的关系,从而做出正确的选择。
Mark Twain, a famous American writer, was once traveling in France. He went by train to Dijon. He was very tired and wanted to _____. He asked the conductor to wake him up when the train got to Dijon. But first he said he was a heavy sleeper...
1.A.read B.write C.drink D.sleep
例4、逻辑推理法
逻辑推理法也叫语境推测法,是我们在做完形填空题时使用的十分重要的方法之一。完型填空是一篇有完整内容的文章,各行各段之间有着逻辑上的必然联系。在所提供的选项中,有的从语法角度是正确的,从语义上考虑就会自相矛盾,出现不合逻辑的现象。这时应从文章和句子入手,对语法无误的几个选项通过分析对比,选出最符合上下文内在联系的答案。
When you wave a friend you are using sign(手势)languages. When you smile at someone, you mean to be _____. When you put one finger in front of your _____, you mean “Be quiet.”
Yet, people in different countries may use different sign languages. Once an English-man was Italy. He could speak a little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt _____ and went into a restaurant...
1.A.well B.friendly C.fine D.careful
2.A.eyes B.legs C.mouth D.head
3.A.hungry B.tired C.cold D.ill
例5、词义辨析法
词义辨析法考查的面广,该内容也是英语学习中的一个难点;在完型填空中出现这一类题目,如果要求做到准确选择,必须在一定的语境或句子中理解,这种考查方式和辨析也是目前完形填空题在中考中考查的一个重点和趋势,所以这一方法是我们必须要掌握的。词义辨析法包括各种词性的考查,如名词、介词、代词、动词、形容词等。
In England, people don’t like _____ very much. You can go on a bus, _____ on a train, and people just sit looking _____ the windows. Often they read. They read books and newspapers. But they don’t talk...
1.A.laughing B.going out C.talking D.playing
2.A.or B.and C.either D.but
3.A.from B.through C.at D.out of
例6、固定搭配法
固定句型和短语搭配不仅是学习的难点,也是完型填空测试的重点。固定搭配形式较多,有名词短语搭配、动词短语搭配、介词短语搭配等,这些固定搭配都是语言在长期的发展和演变过程中形成的,是语言的精华,我们只有在平时学习中认真积累,做题时才能得心应手。做这类题时,不需要特别的分析,就能锁定正确的答案。
From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evening and weekends they are free and _____ themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part _____ sports. This is decided by their own interests ...
1.A.love B.work C.enjoy D.play
2.A.at B.with C.on D.in

I grew up in a village. It helped me learn more labor(劳动) skills than my classmates in cities.
The first 1 was making noodles. Since my parents often came home very late, I prepared noodles so that my family would have 2 sooner. I often saw my mom do it so I thought I could make noodles 3 . But it turned out to be a mess. First I made the noodles too hard. Then I made it too 4 . But as I kept trying, I learned the skill.
Now I cook every meal instead of 5 food on apps and it saves money. Besides, I learn to plant 6 . The experience taught me things. For example, carrots and potatoes grow under the ground. It is a 7 that my friends from the city don't know these in their lives.
Some might say we can learn from books. But it can't 8 the joy of watching plants grow. It brings a new way to look at the world. You'll 9 everything on your plate.

The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have worked to 1 this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.”
Many students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the remaining students and said, “Does anybody else want to get a B? This is your last 2 .” Two more students decided to go.
Seven students 3 . The teacher then handed out the papers to them. There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just been 4 an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I 5 had a teacher like that but I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have 6 in what they have learned are B students at best (充其量).
The same is true in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have 7 both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, either from normal education or from events in their lives, and have become

For me, it's the moment I know that Christmas has truly begun. After lunch, I get a glass of milk and sit down to 1 Christmas cards.
I love sending cards to people in my life, even though I now 2 see them. I enjoy pushing envelopes(信封) into the postbox and putting the cards I've 3 on my own table.
Though it's reported that 80% of people like a paper card better than an e-card, the number I receive is getting smaller each year. If I am 4 , I might receive lots of group texts. Often I still send cards to such kind of people, but without 5 cards, I often remove them from my Christmas card list.
It's reported that we send around 100 million 6 paper cards every year, because of high cost and the Internet.
Sadly, while a lot of people enjoy social life, there are many, 7 the old people, who aren't so good at using the Internet. For them a(n) 8 means that they haven't been forgotten. One of my friends has just moved to a(n) 9 city. He knew no one there, so he put up the cards sent to the previous(之前的) owners on the wall, just to make himself feel less 10 .
So this Christmas, let's put down our phones, take out those old address books and send cards to our family, friends and neighbors.

考纲解读
完形填空均为15个题,文本长度为200—250词。文本类型均为“心灵鸡汤”类的记叙文。文本内容弘扬主旋律,传播正能量。文本大多包含六大要素:时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过和结果。叙述过程中作者会加入对人物语言、行为、心理的描写,也正是这方面的描写增加了学生做题的难度。整个文本包含“动作线索”和“情感线索”双线索,通过对人和事的细致描写传达出作者要表达的意思和文章的中心思想。

考点清单
1.试题考查词类
完形填空考查四类实词:以动词、名词为主;形容词、副词为辅。其中形容词和副词侧重考查人物心理变化和精神状态,需要考生依据上下文和人物的动作进行推测,考生普遍反映此类试题较难。
2.试题考查形式
完形填空主要有以下五种考查方式:
(1)逻辑推理:考生依据上下文,运用“移情策略”,把自己设想为2022年高考试题故事中的“环球旅行的Jessica夫妇”或“正在野营中的妈妈”,依据人物身份进行合理推断,选出符合人物心理描写的形容词和符合人物心理活动的动作。
(2)文化背景:完形填空均为中国或欧美文化生活的小故事,需要考生依据所学文化背景知识选出正确选项。
(3)词汇复现:世界上存在的语言都具有丰富性这一典型特征,作者均避免在同一篇文章中反复使用同一词汇表达同一个含义。完形填空文本虽短,但是对表达喜悦、紧张、失望等的单词、词组多使用同义词复现、近义词复现,有时也会使用原词复现或反义词复现。
(4)词义辨析:每一个题的四个选项词性相同,但词义不同。多数情况下两个选项是“positive(积极、正向)”,两个选项是“negative(消极、负面)”,有时一个选项也会是“neutral(客观、中立)”。
(5)熟词生义:所谓熟词生义就是指我们熟悉的一个单词在新的文本中用法、词性、词义不同,即不是我们所熟知的含义。例如brave,我们通常认为它是形容词,意思是“勇敢的”,但是在句子“Thousands have braved icy rain to demonstrate their support.”中的brave是动词,意思是“勇于置身 (恶劣或危险的环境)”。熟词生义也往往是考试的难点。
3.备考建议
熟记课标词汇,重视熟词生义
熟记新课标英语词汇3000词是做好完形填空的前提。考生要熟悉课标词汇的用法、掌握基本的构词知识,多积累词块和固定搭配,例如thunder rolled;make sense;break the silence等。同时,学习熟词生义,对brave、strange(多表示奇怪的,陌生的,但有时也表示“感觉不舒服的”)等熟悉的词汇,继续研究其第3、4……种用法,并进行针对性的词汇过关训练,提升自己在具体句子中理解和使用词汇的能力。
依据文本大意,宏观推断答案
完形填空试题着重考查考生在一篇文本中对词汇、语篇和文化知识的理解。考生应快速通读全文,根据首句提示,借助文中的关键词,全面理解文章大意,理清脉络,抓住主线,依据人物特点,前后联系,作出正确决断。
分析上下文逻辑,锁定合理答案
完形填空中有的题目设置是为了考查考生对人物感情的逻辑性的精准判断;考查对特殊语境下人物的情绪演变、行为态度、语言褒贬和方式转变的理解判断。这也是对考生思维品质的一种考查。做此类题时,考生一定要理清上下文之间的逻辑关系:是转折关系还是因果关系?是递进关系还是让步关系?从而选出符合上下文逻辑的正确答案。
基于中西文化,合理确定答案
完形填空中有些题目考查考生的文化意识,需要考生依靠生活常识以及中西方国家的历史地理、风俗民情等文化背景知识来选出正确答案。在备考时需要考生理解特定生活环境下的人物动作、情感态度,再根据文本主题确定答案。
运用词汇复现原则,快速找出答案
完形填空的选项设置会通过原词、近义词、同义词、词性变化等方式重现已经出现过的词汇,或者创设一种必须使用特定词汇的语境来考查考生在具体语境中使用词汇的能力。因此做此类题时,在把握语篇、依托语境的基础上,应注意关注上下文是否有相照应的词汇,运用词汇复现技巧快速找出答案。

I've been told I was born middle⁃aged. I took on a lot of family 1 at an early age, which meant putting away childish things long before childhood was over. When you have sensible adult 2 on your mind, it's 3 to find time to play. A few months ago, I was listening to a sensible adult podcast (播客) about publishing. During the course of the 4 , the host said to his guest, “Ever since I read your latest book, I've found myself looking for opportunities to play.” When I heard a sensible adult podcaster talk about taking time to play, I thought, “Well, that's just silly.” The idea of playing as an adult seemed 5 in a way I couldn't express clearly. However, I didn't know why the desire to play still 6 my mind a few days later.
One night, I was cutting across the local park, which would have been bustling (熙熙攘攘的) with 7 if I'd been there during the day. Now they were home in bed with their parents, and it was just me in this well⁃loved playground.
It was the swing set that really 8 my attention. When I saw it, I suddenly remembered playing on the swings with my cousin. I recalled the 9 of that childhood experience. During the day you'd probably be 10 by other sensible adults if you were waiting in line with their children. But at night, with no one else around?
I 11 a bit, but nobody would ever know. So I got on the swing. I pumped (上下快速运动) my 12 to go higher, higher.
It was fun, 13 and simple. Eventually, I came down from the swing, but I didn't resist smiling. I couldn't. That smile 14 itself on my face, and it wouldn't go away.
My childhood may be over, but that doesn't mean 15 is.

I love and enjoy playing the piano. So when the recital (音乐演奏会) was 1 , I was disappointed. I had expected it for long and already 2 my best music.
However, Mom turned this 3 into something worthwhile. “You should 4 at Carriage House Manor. I'm sure the 5 there would really appreciate the music.” To me, this was a win⁃win situation because not only would I play more music, but I had the chance to 6 the residents, some of whom tragically didn't have families.
The much⁃anticipated day 7 arrived. Stepping into the dining area, I saw several gray⁃haired people seemingly enjoying a dinner and the 8 . Despite ongoing conversations at tables, 9 still hung like a dark cloud in the room. After introductions, I sat down in front of the piano, butterflies in my stomach. But my 10 melted away as I played on.
The dinner hour flew by. One woman got up and began to cheerfully 11 about the room to the beat of the 12 while others snapped their fingers (打响指). I was 13 to see how music brought big smiles to their faces.
Calling off the recital was a blessing because it led to us 14 the gift of music with those who needed it most. Go spread 15 whenever possible.

衔接点17 完形填空 (初高考点差异及衔接)
初中要求
完形填空不但考查考生阅读理解的能力, 还考查考生对词汇和语法的掌握能力。
所考查文章以记叙文为主,话题贴近学生生活,涵盖了校园生活、家庭生活、人际交往、自我完善、人生态度、人物经历、励志故事和人生感悟等。
高中要求
完形填空均为15个题,文本长度为200—250词。文本类型均为“心灵鸡汤”类的记叙文。文本内容弘扬主旋律,传播正能量。文本大多包含六大要素:时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过和结果。叙述过程中作者会加入对人物语言、行为、心理的描写,也正是这方面的描写增加了学生做题的难度。整个文本包含“动作线索”和“情感线索”双线索,通过对人和事的细致描写传达出作者要表达的意思和文章的中心思想。
【初中完形填空考点聚焦】
例1、主谓一致判断法
在英语句子里,谓语受主语支配,启动此必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致,这就叫主谓一致。我们在做完形填空题时,会经常遇到要靠主谓一致判断法来确定选项的情况。寻找其规律,大致可分为三个原则:即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就近原则。例:
...A short time ago , a test _____ given in the United States. ...The results showed that if a person _____ a right breakfast, he or she will work better than he or she who has no breakfast ...
1. A.is B.are C.was D.were
2. A.eat B.eats C.eating D.ate
例2、固定句式判断法
固定句式,就是英语中一些常见的固定句型,像:there be举行;not...until句型;It takes/took sb. +金钱/时间+to do sth.句型;It’s +形容词+(for sb.)to do sth,句型;too...to句型等。记住并灵活运用这些固定句式,在做完型填空时是很有用的,可以轻松快速帮助我们排除一些干扰因素,更快、更准的选择答案。
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel closer to someone. _____ is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with...
1.A.It B.He C.There D.Someone
例3、上下文暗示法
上下文暗示法分为上文语境暗示法和下文语境暗示两种。在做完型填空是,我们会经常遇到此类题目,若无上下文的提示,我们根本无法做出正确的选择;但是我们可以根据上下文的一些提示性的引导词判断上下文和空格部分的关系,从而做出正确的选择。
Mark Twain, a famous American writer, was once traveling in France. He went by train to Dijon. He was very tired and wanted to _____. He asked the conductor to wake him up when the train got to Dijon. But first he said he was a heavy sleeper...
1.A.read B.write C.drink D.sleep
例4、逻辑推理法
逻辑推理法也叫语境推测法,是我们在做完形填空题时使用的十分重要的方法之一。完型填空是一篇有完整内容的文章,各行各段之间有着逻辑上的必然联系。在所提供的选项中,有的从语法角度是正确的,从语义上考虑就会自相矛盾,出现不合逻辑的现象。这时应从文章和句子入手,对语法无误的几个选项通过分析对比,选出最符合上下文内在联系的答案。
When you wave a friend you are using sign(手势)languages. When you smile at someone, you mean to be _____. When you put one finger in front of your _____, you mean “Be quiet.”
Yet, people in different countries may use different sign languages. Once an English-man was Italy. He could speak a little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt _____ and went into a restaurant...
1.A.well B.friendly C.fine D.careful
2.A.eyes B.legs C.mouth D.head
3.A.hungry B.tired C.cold D.ill
例5、词义辨析法
词义辨析法考查的面广,该内容也是英语学习中的一个难点;在完型填空中出现这一类题目,如果要求做到准确选择,必须在一定的语境或句子中理解,这种考查方式和辨析也是目前完形填空题在中考中考查的一个重点和趋势,所以这一方法是我们必须要掌握的。词义辨析法包括各种词性的考查,如名词、介词、代词、动词、形容词等。
In England, people don’t like _____ very much. You can go on a bus, _____ on a train, and people just sit looking _____ the windows. Often they read. They read books and newspapers. But they don’t talk...
1.A.laughing B.going out C.talking D.playing
2.A.or B.and C.either D.but
3.A.from B.through C.at D.out of
例6、固定搭配法
固定句型和短语搭配不仅是学习的难点,也是完型填空测试的重点。固定搭配形式较多,有名词短语搭配、动词短语搭配、介词短语搭配等,这些固定搭配都是语言在长期的发展和演变过程中形成的,是语言的精华,我们只有在平时学习中认真积累,做题时才能得心应手。做这类题时,不需要特别的分析,就能锁定正确的答案。
From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evening and weekends they are free and _____ themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part _____ sports. This is decided by their own interests ...
1.A.love B.work C.enjoy D.play
2.A.at B.with C.on D.in

The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have worked to 1 this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.”

Seven students 3 . The teacher then handed out the papers to them. There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just been 4 an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.

For me, it's the moment I know that Christmas has truly begun. After lunch, I get a glass of milk and sit down to 1 Christmas cards.
I love sending cards to people in my life, even though I now 2 see them. I enjoy pushing envelopes(信封) into the postbox and putting the cards I've 3 on my own table.
Though it's reported that 80% of people like a paper card better than an e-card, the number I receive is getting smaller each year. If I am 4 , I might receive lots of group texts. Often I still send cards to such kind of people, but without 5 cards, I often remove them from my Christmas card list.
It's reported that we send around 100 million 6 paper cards every year, because of high cost and the Internet.
Sadly, while a lot of people enjoy social life, there are many, 7 the old people, who aren't so good at using the Internet. For them a(n) 8 means that they haven't been forgotten. One of my friends has just moved to a(n) 9 city. He knew no one there, so he put up the cards sent to the previous(之前的) owners on the wall, just to make himself feel less 10 .
So this Christmas, let's put down our phones, take out those old address books and send cards to our family, friends and neighbors.

【高中完形填空考点聚焦】
考纲解读
完形填空均为15个题,文本长度为200—250词。文本类型均为“心灵鸡汤”类的记叙文。文本内容弘扬主旋律,传播正能量。文本大多包含六大要素:时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过和结果。叙述过程中作者会加入对人物语言、行为、心理的描写,也正是这方面的描写增加了学生做题的难度。整个文本包含“动作线索”和“情感线索”双线索,通过对人和事的细致描写传达出作者要表达的意思和文章的中心思想。
2.试题考查词类完形填空考查四类实词:以动词、名词为主;形容词、副词为辅。其中形容词和副词侧重考查人物心理变化和精神状态,需要考生依据上下文和人物的动作进行推测,考生普遍反映此类试题较难。
考点清单
1.试题考查词类
完形填空考查四类实词:以动词、名词为主;形容词、副词为辅。其中形容词和副词侧重考查人物心理变化和精神状态,需要考生依据上下文和人物的动作进行推测,考生普遍反映此类试题较难。
2.试题考查形式
完形填空主要有以下五种考查方式:
(1)逻辑推理:考生依据上下文,运用“移情策略”,把自己设想为2022年高考试题故事中的“环球旅行的Jessica夫妇”或“正在野营中的妈妈”,依据人物身份进行合理推断,选出符合人物心理描写的形容词和符合人物心理活动的动作。
(2)文化背景:完形填空均为中国或欧美文化生活的小故事,需要考生依据所学文化背景知识选出正确选项。
(3)词汇复现:世界上存在的语言都具有丰富性这一典型特征,作者均避免在同一篇文章中反复使用同一词汇表达同一个含义。完形填空文本虽短,但是对表达喜悦、紧张、失望等的单词、词组多使用同义词复现、近义词复现,有时也会使用原词复现或反义词复现。
(4)词义辨析:每一个题的四个选项词性相同,但词义不同。多数情况下两个选项是“positive(积极、正向)”,两个选项是“negative(消极、负面)”,有时一个选项也会是“neutral(客观、中立)”。
(5)熟词生义:所谓熟词生义就是指我们熟悉的一个单词在新的文本中用法、词性、词义不同,即不是我们所熟知的含义。例如brave,我们通常认为它是形容词,意思是“勇敢的”,但是在句子“Thousands have braved icy rain to demonstrate their support.”中的brave是动词,意思是“勇于置身 (恶劣或危险的环境)”。熟词生义也往往是考试的难点。
3.备考建议
熟记课标词汇,重视熟词生义
熟记新课标英语词汇3000词是做好完形填空的前提。考生要熟悉课标词汇的用法、掌握基本的构词知识,多积累词块和固定搭配,例如thunder rolled;make sense;break the silence等。同时,学习熟词生义,对brave、strange(多表示奇怪的,陌生的,但有时也表示“感觉不舒服的”)等熟悉的词汇,继续研究其第3、4……种用法,并进行针对性的词汇过关训练,提升自己在具体句子中理解和使用词汇的能力。
依据文本大意,宏观推断答案
完形填空试题着重考查考生在一篇文本中对词汇、语篇和文化知识的理解。考生应快速通读全文,根据首句提示,借助文中的关键词,全面理解文章大意,理清脉络,抓住主线,依据人物特点,前后联系,作出正确决断。
分析上下文逻辑,锁定合理答案
完形填空中有的题目设置是为了考查考生对人物感情的逻辑性的精准判断;考查对特殊语境下人物的情绪演变、行为态度、语言褒贬和方式转变的理解判断。这也是对考生思维品质的一种考查。做此类题时,考生一定要理清上下文之间的逻辑关系:是转折关系还是因果关系?是递进关系还是让步关系?从而选出符合上下文逻辑的正确答案。
基于中西文化,合理确定答案
完形填空中有些题目考查考生的文化意识,需要考生依靠生活常识以及中西方国家的历史地理、风俗民情等文化背景知识来选出正确答案。在备考时需要考生理解特定生活环境下的人物动作、情感态度,再根据文本主题确定答案。
运用词汇复现原则,快速找出答案
完形填空的选项设置会通过原词、近义词、同义词、词性变化等方式重现已经出现过的词汇,或者创设一种必须使用特定词汇的语境来考查考生在具体语境中使用词汇的能力。因此做此类题时,在把握语篇、依托语境的基础上,应注意关注上下文是否有相照应的词汇,运用词汇复现技巧快速找出答案。

During the day you'd probably be 10 by other sensible adults if you were waiting in line with their children. But at night, with no one else around?
I 11 a bit, but nobody would ever know. So I got on the swing. I pumped (上下快速运动) my 12 to go higher, higher.
It was fun, 13 and simple. Eventually, I came down from the swing, but I didn't resist smiling. I couldn't. That smile 14 itself on my face, and it wouldn't go away.
