完形填空是一项综合性很强的题目。在平常练习中,大多数人都认为完形填空很难应付,其实,即使题目再难,答题也是有章可循的。我们不妨试试下面介绍的“三遍法”:
首先,完形填空的首句一般都是完整的,其目的是给答题者一个整体思路,我们顺着这个整体思路进行第一遍的“跳读”,也就是不看选项通读全篇。虽然文章已经被“挖”的支离破碎,我们仍能大概分析出它所发生的语言环境是“hospital”,还是“cinema”或是“farm”。知道了这些以后,思维就会变得具体起来。接下去进行第二遍的诸题攻破,边看边选。这遍做起来是最费时间的,因为每选一个空,都要考虑到有关的语义搭配、固定句式、词组、时态等各个方面。比如,如果选项是动词,那么,考查的可能是时态,动词过去式、过去分词的规则、不规则变化;如果选项是介词,考查的可能是固定搭配或词组;如果选项是连词,则考的可能是上下文的顺承转接等等。.这就要求答题者有较深的基础知识功底,同时,要能做到上下呼应,左右连接。在填完所有的空之后,就进入到了第三遍的纠错过程。这一步要求我们把所有的选项一一对应到相应的空中,把它作为一篇完整的阅读文章来通读、复查。许多学生经常会忽略或意识不到这一步的重要,其实,通过最后一遍的通读,可以通过语感分析出选项是否与语境相吻合,是否与原文协调一致,是否符合应有的逻辑关系。这样看来,这一遍绝对是重中之重、不可或缺的。
下面让我们来一次“实战演习”,一定会有所提高,有所感悟的。
