完型填空的答题技巧
完形填空是一种测试学生语言水平和实际运用语言能力的综合性题型。考生需要具备一定的词汇量和语法知识,而且还必须具备一定的阅读理解能力、分析能力和逻辑推理能力。要想提高完形填空的答题正确率,除了具备比较扎实的语言基础知识和一定的综合运用基础知识的能力外,还需要掌握一定的解题步骤和技巧。
解题步骤
1
快速浏览,重视首句
在浏览文章时,我们既要重视文中诸如人名、时间、连词之类的关键词,抽取重要的信息点,也要注意不要在具体的细节上花费太多时间。看句子、抓主干、看大意、抓结构就可以了。
还需要特别注意的是,完形填空的首句一般不设空。因为首句是整篇文章信息的开端和起点,决定了下文信息流动的方式和方向,也为整篇文章提供了足够的背景信息,所以我们要高度重视文章的首句。
2
通读全文,先易后难
快速浏览完文章后,我们已经初步了解了文章的主旨大意,接下来,我们就要通读全文,把所给的几个选项分别填入空白处所在的句子中。在做完形填空题时,我们一定要注意在语境理解上下功夫,抓住上下文的内容联系和逻辑关系,注意连词、代词、插入语等的作用。
另外,我们往往会发现有些空白处在快速浏览阶段就可以填出,而有些在通读全文后答案都不是很明朗。遇到这种情况,不要慌张,在把其余空白处的内容“复原”后,我们对语境的了解就会更加清晰、更加准确,这时再来啃那些“硬骨头”就会比较容易。
3
复读全文,验证答案
相对于前面两步,第三步往往不被考生注意。完形填空来自于一篇完整的短文,我们的任务是还原短文原貌。我们只有复读短文,才能感悟出所选答案和原文是否匹配,上下文是否自相矛盾,语篇衔接是否顺畅。在复读的过程中,我们可能会发现有些选项需要重新考虑。
解题技巧
1
利用上下文线索解题
对于大部分完形填空题,我们需要通过上下文的线索解题。有些解题的线索就在题目的附近;有些解题的线索比较远,甚至要跨段去寻找线索。
2
利用重复词语、派生词、近义词等解题
被选作完形填空材料的文章一般前后呼应,主题明确,往往会有词语重复出现,或者以其派生词、近义词等其他形式出现的现象,这类题目一般比较容易解答。
3
利用语法知识解题
虽然完形填空的考查越来越淡化语法,但是一个语义连贯的语篇必须是符合各种语法关系的。因此考生在解题时可以将几个选项分别代入空中,对句子进行语法分析、判断,从而缩小答案范围或选出正确答案。
4
利用文化背景知识、生活常识等进行逻辑推理
完形填空题的语篇有时会渗透着相关的文化背景知识和生活常识,如:科学知识、历史知识、地理知识、风俗民情、民族习惯等。在做题时,如果能积极地调动自己的文化背景知识和生活常识,巧妙地加以运用,将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断思维过程,节省宝贵的时间。
5
排除干扰,去伪存真
我们在做完形填空题时,有时会遇到这种情况:对某个题目的正确选项的含义、用法不甚明白,但发现其他选项却有显而易见的谬误,这时,我们可以尝试用排除法。
需要注意的是,很多时候判断一道完形填空题的正确答案要从多角度考虑,把语境、语法、常识等有机结合起来。同时也可以从某个角度选出答案,再从其他角度对答案进行印证。总之,大家在掌握这些解题技巧之后,要注意灵活运用到解题过程中,以提高自己的解题能力。
