完形填空(clozetest),又称综合填空,是1953年美国语言学家WilsonTaylor根据格式塔心理学提出的题型,其命题原理是格式塔心理学。格式塔心理学强调整体感知和对文章从语义上的整体把握。在语言学习者利用已知信息恢复原有完整信息的过程中考查其语言运用能力。此题型不仅能比较准确的考查学生语法、词汇、固定搭配等基础语言知识,同时反映出学生的阅读理解能力,对语境的逻辑判断能力,背景知识和生活常识。
一、完形填空的命题特点
1.高考完形填空试题材料的词汇量比以前有所增加,文章的难度也相应增大,考查由局部理解向整体理解转移,增加了语篇理解的试题,设问角度突出考查对上下文乃至全篇的理解。
2.试题考查点减少了单句层次的试题,淡化语法,而被情景选择所取代。
3.文章体裁仍以记叙文或夹叙夹议为主,选材体现时代性、思想健康。在布空方面以实词为主,其中以动词、名词、形容词、副词为核心,另外,选项具有有效性和干扰性,充分体现语言知识灵活运用的特征。
4.对民族文化和语言背景知识的考查加大。

三、整理解题思路
1.立足于文章主旨。
Therearemanydifferentwaysofseeingatownforthefirsttime.(2008安徽卷)
2.立足于逻辑关系。
围绕主旨,段落之间必然前后呼应,句与句之间也必定承前启后,解题时要充分运用这种逻辑关系发现解题提示,而且必要时要视野开阔,从全文角度出发,善于发现首段和末段之间的呼应关系。

40.A.ThereforeB.However
C.OtherwiseD.Finally
3.立足于语言知识。
扎实的语言功底是理解文章的基础,从语篇出发,结合语言知识是制胜的重点。
