上述三步可概括为：一步粗读寻思路，二步细读选答案，三步复读纠错误

2.解题方法

一、首句概览法

完形填空的短文一般不给标题，且首句往往不设空，即首句是一个完整的句子。做题时，要认真读懂这个句子，可以根据它判断出文章的大意或主题，这样有助于后面的填空，尤其是一些语境性较强的空格，需要结合文章的主题来判断。

二、语境推测法

近几年高考英语完形填空题的最大特点是--重点考查语境。所谓语境，就是指文章的上下文，它包括文章语气的一致性、意思的连贯性、表述的合理性、论证的逻辑性等。所以考生在做题时，一定要从整体上把握文章内容，区分文章的结构层次和文章的内在逻辑关系，同时认真比较所给选项，并从中选最符合语境的答案。如：

● I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a chat, or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or ______ in bed living happily and successfully. (江苏卷)

A. much B. never C. even D. seldom

三、常识推断法

语境的判断在许多情况下需借助常识的判断，所以考生在做题时还应充分结合自己作为一名中学生所应该具备的常识进行合理推测。不过也请注意，作者如果用了but, however 之类的表示转折的词语，情况则可能完全相反，如人累了却不休息；车在转弯时，速度却偏要加快等。如：

● We feel ___1___ and fall asleep at night and become ___2___ and energetic during the day. (全国卷)

1. A. dull B. tired C. dreamy D. peaceful

2. A. regular B. excited C. lively D. clear

四、根据语篇标志

语篇标志是指能表明各个句群或段落之间的内在联系的词语。如表示结构层次的语篇标志有firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally等；表示逻辑关系的词语有therefore, so, thus, but, however等；表示递进关系的词语有even, besides, what's more等；表示时间关系的词语有before, after, so far等；表示选择关系的or, whether...or...等。根据这些语篇标志，我们就可以迅速弄清上下文的关系，理清文章的脉络层次，从而作出正确的选择。如：

● First of all, I respected his devotion to teaching...______, I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk...Finally, I was attracted by his lively sense of humor. (全国卷)

A. Later B. Secondly C. however D. Therefore

五、习语搭配法

英语中，一些固定的句型和短语结构既是学习的难点，也是完形填空的常考考点。同学们做题时应注意所填空之词与空格前后词语的习惯搭配。如：

● I started surfing about five years ago and ______ in love with the sport on the very first day. (北京春季卷)

A. stayed B. came C. dropped D. fell
