【名师点睛】

完形填空题的命题特点及答题方法：

1.侧重基础知识，考查学生语言知识的能力

完形填空以文入手，结合文章的内容考查学生的基础知识，主要是词语搭配、固定句型、近义词辨析、辨析句子结构、掌握语法规则的能力，其中考查实词居多。

2.上下文对照，考查学生捕捉关键词的能力

解完形填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。

3.设置语境，考查学生的分析推理能力

旨在考查学生在选项都符合语法及句子结构的情况下能否利用前后语境去推断出正确答案。例如：小题1从文中and so I used up all my money soon.可知，and后面说明结果：“我”用光了我所有的钱，所以推知“我”是遇到很多困难，导致“我”的钱用光了。故选B。

4.结合生活，考查学生利用常识题的能力

目的考查学生的生活常识，看看学生是否善于观察生活，积累生活常识，能否利用常识去做恰当的选择。例如：小题12上文中有乘客说将灯关掉，让小偷自己把钱交出来。又因为这一段开头作者告诉了我们时间at dusk，根据生活常识，当时是黄昏，车里关灯后就变黑了。其他人也看不见了。故选B。

5.关注连词，考查学生对行文逻辑、句子关联的理解能力

此项用来考查学生在缺少连词的情况想，通过阅读能否理解句子的与句子的关系，是否了解行文逻辑的要求，能否掌握表示因果、转折、并列、条件、让步等的连词的用法。
