【名师点睛】

在完成完形填空时，我们可以从词汇和语法两个方面着手：

（一）词汇

1．利用动词词组中的介词或副词确定正确选项

如果我们认识某一词组，可根据自己的判断毫不犹豫地选择你认为是正确的选项。如果 不认识或拿不准它们的意义，我们可以根据动词后边的介词或副词进行推导。

2．利用固定搭配或习惯用语

高考完形填空中词汇题目涉及对各种短语、固定词组和惯用语的测试，其所占的比例相当大。测试范围包括动词短语、动词与其他词语构成的习语、介词短语、形容词短语等。这类词组主要是习惯性和固定搭配用法，不能主观臆测，也不能随意创造，只能靠死记硬背。

3．根据邻近原则，利用词语意义的互相联系，确定选择的依据。

（1）选项为名词时，其前后的名词为选择的依据。

（2）选项为动词、动词词组（包括动名词、动词的分词形式）时，前后的动词、名词、介词为选择依据。

（3）选项为形容词时，可以其前后出现的名词、动词、副词、介词为依据。

（4）选项为副词时，其前后出现的动词、形容词、副词为判断依据。

（二）语法

熟悉历年考题中常出现的语法考点。分析前后分句间的逻辑等同关系，进行逻辑推理，从而确定正确选项在完型填空中，句子间的逻辑关系主要包括：

表示并列关系的连接词有and，while等。

表示转折关系的连接词有but，however，though，whereas，nevertheless，although，yet，on the contrary，otherwise，on the other hand，after all，for all，still，notwithstanding等。

表示顺序关系的连接词有before，after，and，to begin with，first，firstly，second， secondly，出en，next，finally，and so on等。

表示解释关系的连接词有that is to say，in other words，to put it another way等。

表示因果关系的连接词有so，therefore，thus，because，accordingly，as a result， consequently，hence，for this reason，for，since， as等。

表示让步关系的连接词有though，although，despite，in spite of，after all，even though，even if, while，whereas等。

表示条件关系的连接词有it, unless，once，provided that，in case （of）等。 表示附加说明、例证的连接词有likewise， similarly，in a like manner，for example，for instance，incidentally，indeed，in fact，in other words，in particular，specifically，that is，to illustrate等。
