完形填空是近年来全国英语中考一直采用的一种综合性很强的测试题型。完形填空涉及的知识面广,灵活性较高。它不仅能测试考生的英语知识水平和对所学知识的综合运用能力,而且能反映出考生的阅读理解能力,分析判断能力和逻辑推理能力。
完形填空通常选用一篇250个单词左右的短文,一般采用故事体裁,尽量避免专业性太强的文章。
完形填空要求考生既要运用自己所学过的词汇、习惯用语、固定搭配、语法、句法等基础知识理解每个句子,又要处理好句子与句子之间以及句子与全文之间的内在联系,主要测试考生在具体语言环境中把握文章的篇章结构、中心思想和推理判断、词语辨析、习惯用法或固定搭配等方面的能力,以及对所学英语知识的综合运用能力、
快速阅读理解能力和逻辑推理判断能力等,因而该题型能较全面地反映考生对所学知识的掌握程度。
完形填空题以考查实词为主,主要包括名词、动词、形容词、副词及相关短语。从近几年的广州市、北京中考试题来看,完形填空越来越强调对上下文以及通篇文章的理解
完形填空题侧重对语言应用能力、阅读理解能力的考查。它的知识构建主要这几个方面
(1)从词语层面:主要考词语辨析、固定搭配与习惯表达;
(2)从句子层面:主要考句子意义的逻辑性与合理性;
(3)从篇章层面:主要考篇章的连贯和句与句之间的意义关系。

(一)考向探究
完形填空要求考生不仅要会运用自己学过的词汇和语法知识妥善地处理好每个单句,理解语义,还要处理好单句之间以及整个语篇的意义关系。难点主要是如何根据上下文的意义关系正确判断所需的用词。
1、词语层面(phrase level):词语辨析、固定搭配、习惯搭配
2、句子层面(sentence level):句子意义的逻辑性与合理性
3、段落层面(paragraph level):段落的连贯和句与句之间的意义关系
4、篇章层面(passage level):语篇的连贯和句与句之间的意义关系
考点分布
完形填空以考查实词为主,即动词、名词、形容词、副词及相关短语为主,难点主要是如何根据上下文的意义关系正确判断所需的用词。
(二)解题技巧
1. 逻辑推理题:注意对文章内容进行逻辑分析、推理判断。理解上下文的内在关联和连贯意义。
2. 词汇复现题:有些答案是会在上下文中重复出现的,关注语境,读懂题意,选出答案。
3. 生活常识题:注意文化背景和生活常识,利用上下文线索,分析句子的关系。
4. 语境推断题:注意对文章发生的背景,所处环境进行分析,进而理解语境,利用上下文线索,找到关键提示词或句子,选出答案。
5. 固定搭配题:注意英语中的固定搭配、习惯用语及短语的运用。
方法一、语境推断
根据上下文的语境提示或暗示,理解事件发生的语境,根据体验语境和作者的情感态度,推断出符合场景的最佳选项。
方法二、词汇复现
词汇复现是指文章中的某一词以原词、同源词、同义词、近义词、反义词、概括词或其他形式重复出现在语篇中,语篇中的句子通过词汇的复现达到了互相衔接。
方法三、逻辑推理
完形填空的各段落之间有着逻辑上的联系,可以通过对故事的线索、文章前后各段之间的逻辑关系、文章前后内容之间的逻辑关系以及人物情感的发展来分析和理解文章,以此推断出正确答案。逻辑关系主要有:并列关系(and…);转折关系(but, however, though, yet, otherwise, while…);顺序关系(before, after, then, finally…);让步关系(although, despite…);因果关系(so, thus, for…);条件关系(if, in case…);递进关系(moreover, besides, furthermore, what’s more, in addition to, as well as…)。
方法四、生活常识,常用搭配
将文章的意思和我们原有的生活经验、文化背景知识以及科普常识等结合起来,进行简单推理,从而得出正确答案。
(三)解题步骤
要做好完形填空,必须掌握一定的解题方法和技巧,才能尽量做到在有能力得分的题上不丢分。完形填空的解题步骤是:通览——试填——复核。
1. 通览——速读全文,把握大意。
快速阅读全文,通过通览全文来领会大意,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,并找出信息词。
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,注意从词的意义、搭配、习惯用法、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。

Passage 1(2024·北京海淀区一模试题)
In her grandparents’old house, Maya discovered an old family calendar, with each page filled out carefully.
On June 6, 1892: “Helped Mr Thompson repair his house.” On November 14, 1907: “ 13 my time at an old people’s home.”
Curious, she asked her grandmother about it.
“That is the tradition of our family,” her grandmother explained. “Every day, for generations (世代), we complete one act of kindness and take it down. No matter how 14 it is. ”

When Maya was old, she often sat with her grandchildren, turning the filled pages. “This was when your grandpa and I met. I helped him find his lost dog.”
One day, her oldest grandchild, Sophie, looked up from the calendar. “I want to 19 this, Grandma.”

As Tao Tao grew up, the idea of developing his independence by 14 homemade popcorn has come into the mother’s mind. She taught Tao Tao how to make popcorn at home and helped set up a stall (摊位) in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City of East China’s Zhejiang Province.
“Tao Tao, don’t worry. Take it easy even if no one comes to buy,” after a few words of encouragement, Yao stepped aside and let his son take charge.
At the beginning, Tao Tao tried his best to attract buyers even though it was very 15 . To improve his confidence, the mother even paid some passersby to buy popcorn from her son’s stall.
Gradually, Tao Tao has become more active and 16 , managing the business smoothly without relying on a megaphone (扩音器) to sell the product.

Many expressed a desire to donate, but Yao refused any form of donations. “My goal is to encourage him to make a brave step forward and connect with the outside world, I hope that one day he could live independently through his own 18 ,” Yao said.
“Tao Tao is a persevering child. He keeps making and packaging the popcorn all by himself, trying his best to prove that he can 19 it,” Yao added.

Passage 3(2024·北京石景山区一模试题)
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴表演) classes, I was uncertain about whether to sign up. As a very shy person, I 13 getting on stage and acting in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after graduating, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and build confidence. I signed up, knowing the 14 would take me well outside my comfort zone.
During our first class, we learned an important idea of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that we accept what other performers say. If someone says that monkeys are librarians, for example, then monkeys are librarians. We do not 15 the logic (逻辑); we say “yes” and continue with the scene (场景) as if nothing is wrong.
To do this effectively, our teacher warned us that we’d have to avoid second-guessing ourselves. Sometimes scenes go in unexpected directions. The best improvisation happens when performers stay open to 16 possibilities and say whatever comes into their minds.
I got a taste of the 17 when acting out my first scene. However, as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I also became better at listening, relating to my partners, and communicating clearly.
That training came in handy two weeks ago, when I was giving a speech about my science. A student surprised me with a question that came out of nowhere. Instead of getting nervous, I used the “yes, and” method— 18 the question at face value and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me stay calm and finally find a proper answer.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Early on in school, I would get stuck when 19 data was produced in my experiments; my inner critic would suppose I had made a mistake. But now, after using the “yes, and” method, I no longer go into an experiment thinking that I already know the story my data are going to tell.
This lesson can 20 all scientists. If the data say monkeys are librarians, then it’s worth studying whether monkeys are, in fact, librarians. Our job as scientists isn’t to produce data that support a story that we already know. Our job is to say “yes, and”.

14. A. experience B. service C. experiment D. treatment
15. A. use B. believe C. understand D. question
16. A. real B. different C. serious D. strong
17. A. difficulty B. success C. loneliness D. joy
18. A. asking B. repeating C. accepting D. improving
19. A. unknown B. unshown C. unchecked D. unexpected
20. A. confuse B. benefit C. trouble D. satisfy
Passage 4(2024·北京西城区一模试题)
“We were the cutest babies in the world!” I smiled and said to Rachel as I put up a 13 of me riding a horse on the wall of the classroom.
“I know, look at this one!” Rachel pointed to the picture of us at age five. We both laughed and shook our heads. We couldn’t believe that we would be graduating (毕业) in a week.
As a way of celebrating our childhoods, we were asked to bring in pictures of ourselves growing up. As I looked 14 from photo to photo, from preschoolers to ninth-graders, I began to look at my classmates around me.
First I looked at Rachel, and I 15 the first day of school. I was a little five-year-old. When my mother left me, I just didn’t know what to do but cry. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Rachel.
“Why are you crying?” she asked.
“My mommy left me.”
“Would you like to play a puzzle game together?” She offered.
That got my 16 . I loved puzzle games. I started to play, and after a few minutes, I wasn’t crying anymore.
I looked back at the pictures and my eyes 17 on a picture of Tony. Tony lives right next to me, and we have always been close. I remember how much fun I had playing “boys’ games”, all thanks to Tony making it possible.
“Come on, she’s a girl—she’ll make you play Barbies or something,” one of the boys on our block said to Tony.
I turned and started to walk away. I felt tears 18 up in my eyes when I heard Tony say, “No, I want to play with Sarah. We’re going to play basketball.”
The millions of memories that I 19 from those years suddenly came back to me. High school would be different. I couldn’t imagine how that would feel. I looked at the pictures once more and noticed how, in every picture, each of us was at 20 points of our lives, but we were always smiling. We were all okay, even through all the changes.
I was finally ready for high school.

Passage 5(2024·北京东城区一模试题)
Our community library decided to offer a painting class. I told my friend Ella, and we both signed up.
On the big day, our first 13 was to paint a white vase of cheerful yellow sunflowers against a blue background.
We were asked to paint our canvas (画布) 14 . It was easy to follow the instructor to move the brush. Although I had never painted before, I could tell I was a 15 . I started thinking about where I would hang my new masterpiece.
Immediately after that, however, I began to run into 16 . The first curved (弯曲的) line of my vase looked perfect, but when I painted the line on the opposite side, my hand slipped (打滑). I tried to 17 that white streak (条痕) with blue paint, but it didn’t work.
While I was busy fixing my messy painting, the instructor explained how to paint the sunflower leaves. Things went downhill fast after that. My leaves looked like fat, green caterpillars (毛毛虫). When I failed to clean my paintbrush, I accidentally made the sunflowers green. I felt 18 when I saw how good everyone else’s paintings looked.
Ella sweetly praised my sunflowers, perhaps feeling sorry for me. When I said that hers were much better, she looked surprised. “No, they’re not. I messed up in at least five places.” After a few seconds, she asked, “Want to 19 paintings?”
Until that moment, I had felt only dislike for my painting. And yet for some reason, giving it away felt wrong. It wasn’t a perfect painting, but it was mine—the first one I had ever created. I knew Ella must have realized that she felt the same way when she suddenly shook her head and said. “Never mind.”
My sunflower painting still hangs directly above my bed. I often look at it. Every time I look at it. I 20 . It always brightens my day and brings warmth to my room. I really like it now.

Today I stood on the beam, trying to do a cartwheel (侧身翻) I looked down at my coach, Rita, who prepared to catch me if I failed. I took a breath but my knees were shaking. “Well, I can’t do it! Someday I’ll do the beam. But not today.” I 14 down and went away.
At the following class, Rita took out a roll of 15 . She used it to make two lines the width of the balance beam on the mat. “Maisie, I want you to practice your balance-beam routine within the lines of the tape.” Well, that’s easy enough. All I had to do was to stay inside the lines. I finished it 16 . “Great! You never went outside the lines,” Rita said. “Do you want to have a try on the balance beam?” I gave her a weak smile and shook my head.
“Can you teach me how to swim?” Rita said suddenly. I was confused, and then she told me that she couldn’t swim because she was afraid of water. Therefore, I 17 .
“Watch.” I jumped into the pool and began to swim. Rita was obviously afraid and hesitated (犹豫) to jump. I 18 her and finally Rita took a deep breath and jumped into the water. She succeeded! My coach was brave enough to jump into the water, and I couldn’t help thinking of myself. So I told Rita, “Maybe my ‘someday’ should be today.”
I got up on the balance beam, closing my eyes and imagining I was on the mat. Then I started the cartwheel. I 19 it! Seeing that, Rita was excited to jump up and down, clapping and shouting, “You were so 20 !”

Passage 3(2024·北京石景山区一模试题)
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴表演) classes, I was uncertain about whether to sign up. As a very shy person, I 13 getting on stage and acting in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after graduating, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and build confidence. I signed up, knowing the 14 would take me well outside my comfort zone.
During our first class, we learned an important idea of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that we accept what other performers say. If someone says that monkeys are librarians, for example, then monkeys are librarians. We do not 15 the logic (逻辑); we say “yes” and continue with the scene (场景) as if nothing is wrong.
To do this effectively, our teacher warned us that we’d have to avoid second-guessing ourselves. Sometimes scenes go in unexpected directions. The best improvisation happens when performers stay open to 16 possibilities and say whatever comes into their minds.
I got a taste of the 17 when acting out my first scene. However, as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I also became better at listening, relating to my partners, and communicating clearly.
That training came in handy two weeks ago, when I was giving a speech about my science. A student surprised me with a question that came out of nowhere. Instead of getting nervous, I used the “yes, and” method— 18 the question at face value and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me stay calm and finally find a proper answer.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Early on in school, I would get stuck when 19 data was produced in my experiments; my inner critic would suppose I had made a mistake. But now, after using the “yes, and” method, I no longer go into an experiment thinking that I already know the story my data are going to tell.
This lesson can 20 all scientists. If the data say monkeys are librarians, then it’s worth studying whether monkeys are, in fact, librarians. Our job as scientists isn’t to produce data that support a story that we already know. Our job is to say “yes, and”.
13. A. feared B. tried C. considered D. regretted
14. A. experience B. service C. experiment D. treatment
15. A. use B. believe C. understand D. question
16. A. real B. different C. serious D. strong
17. A. difficulty B. success C. loneliness D. joy
18. A. asking B. repeating C. accepting D. improving
19. A. unknown B. unshown C. unchecked D. unexpected
20. A. confuse B. benefit C. trouble D. satisfy
【答案】13. A 14. A 15. D 16. B 17. A 18. C 19. D 20. B

17. 句意:我演第一场戏时就尝到了苦。
difficulty困难;success成功;loneliness寂寞;joy欢乐。根据“However, as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes.”可知后来作者才更喜欢上这门课,刚开始是吃到了苦头的。故选A。

I turned and started to walk away. I felt tears 18 up in my eyes when I heard Tony say, “No, I want to play with Sarah. We’re going to play basketball.”
The millions of memories that I 19 from those years suddenly came back to me. High school would be different. I couldn’t imagine how that would feel.

Until that moment, I had felt only dislike for my painting. And yet for some reason, giving it away felt wrong. It wasn’t a perfect painting, but it was mine—the first one I had ever created.
