高考完形填空专项训练步步高抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面：1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。

2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。

3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。

那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。

并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。

即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。

一、通读短文抓主旨一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。

但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。

借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。

如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。

抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。

尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。

二、精读短文析文意在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。

切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。

要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点：1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。

就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。

因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。

2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。

NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读3.从逻辑推理、常识等角度考虑，挖掘文章的寓意及隐含意义。

尤其是NMET完形填空短文大都包含一定的哲理和寓意，具备深层探询的可能性，这就要求我们既要明确表层意义，还要理解其深层含义。

而结合我们已有的生活常识和社会常识去做题，则会有意想不到的效果，因为每个人的能力不是单一的。

4.从英汉两种语言的差异角度去考虑，避免错误。

因为我们在英语学习过程中往往伴随“心译”过程，而出题者则会从母语的角度设置干扰项，在做题时一定要意识到这一点，不要受母语影响，借助平时学习中培养起来的语感，灵活处理。

总之，在逐项填空时应根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，把上下文的意思、句法结构、词类和语法功能、惯用法、逻辑推理常识等各种因素加在一起综合考虑，仔细推敲，选中答案。

三、复读全文再检验在做完一篇完形填空后，文章完整了，应从头至尾读一遍，根据复读的语感和对整篇短文的理解，再次将较明显的错误改正，个别需要推敲的再做调整，力争尽可能少出错。

另外，要做好完形填空，除了具备扎实的基础知识和快速阅读及理解的能力外，良好的心理素质和思维品质也至关重要。

我们在平时训练时不能忽视对后者的训练。

The space 1 to let the rail expand (膨胀)when it gets 2 . On a hot day, the metal expands and if it 3 to do this, the rails would bend 4 shape. This caused railway 5 in the past.6 solids expand much less than liquids or gases, the7 increases (增加量) can add up toa lot, when there are long 8 of rail. For example, the difference in length of rail, in summer and winter, 9 the distance between London and Edinburgh, is about 1/4 mile.very long metal bridge 11 . So spaces are left in the places 12 the metal is joined.When 13 colder, it becomes smaller in size. We can make use of the 14 that solids expand when they are heated, and become smaller in size when they get colder, and 15 they do it at different 16 .For example, when an iron band (铁箍) has to fit tightly 17 a wooden wheel, first we make it 18 than the wheel, then we 19 it, so that it goes on easily.

When the papers were 2 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistakes throughout the test.There is nothing really new about 4 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neil 5 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 6 after class. I was one of the twelve.Mrs O'Neill asked 7 questions, and she didn't 8 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 19 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 10 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.I don't 11 about, the other eleven boys. Speaking for 12 I can say: it was the most important single 13 of my life. Thirty years after being 14 to Macaulay's words, they 15 seem to me the best yardstick (准绳), because they give us a 16 to measure ourselves rather than others.17 of us are asked to make 18 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 19 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 20 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 21 turned over to the policeman?
