完形填空解题技巧: 语义复现
(本文所选例句来自于2011-2017年全国卷高考真题)
高考完形填空是测试学生综合运用语言能力的一种题型。 它要求学生不但具有阅读理解的能力,驾驭语法结构的能力,辨析词义的能力,而且还要具有较强的逻辑思维、分析和判断能力,同时对各类词法、句法、上下文逻辑关系、语义搭配以及写作技巧等还需具有较强的运用能力。一篇内容充实、结构合理、行文流畅的短文所依赖的不只是词汇和语法,更多的是篇章技巧。完形填空毕竟不同于单项选择,作为一个意思连贯、结构完整的语篇,其中篇章技巧的使用是完形填空解题中至关重要的手段。由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇,围绕一个话题论述,因此,行文中词语的重复、替代、复现等现象是不可避免的。根据这个原则,某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现的相关词,根据这些词之间的有机联系就可以确定答案。所以,解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索,利用上下文寻找解题信息,如某一个词的原词、同根词、同义词或近义词、反义词等。我们把这个解题方法称为语义复现法。
在解完形填空的过程中,我们可以利用语义复现法迅速地找到正确答案。
一、原词复现大同中学:上下文中有同一概念(语义)出现,考生可以借助这一信息选择正确答案。如:

55. A. noticed B. treated C respected D. plead

22. A. old B. busy C. kind D. poor
在下文中几次出现many poor NewYorkers和help the poor,属于原词复现。

60.A.easy B.popular C.quick D.new
三、同义词、近义词复现:同义词、近义词复现是借助意思相同或相近的表达方式,或解释性的语言使上下文的语义得以连接起来。做题时,考生应注意分析上下文中出现的解释性语言。如:
1 (2015年全国卷) I had the chance of eing this first hand on a 44_________....This led to some painful experiences on Saturday as they played against teams...
44. A. trip B. holiday C. weekend D. square
下文Saturday与选项weekend属于同义词复现。

55. A. chair B. sponsor C. attend D. organize
上文drop in与选项attend属于近义词复现。
四、反义词复现:语意的连贯有时通过对比结构而采用反义复现的手段,或者是以反义的方式对前文加以解释。做题时考生应注意分析这类概念复现,从反义的角度判断正确的选项。如:
1 (2011年全国卷) After listening to shouts of wildly wrong guess the professor smiled a thin,dry smile,announced the 40 ________ answer,and ...
40.A.ready B.possible C.correct D.difficult
上文中wrong guess和选项correct (answer)形成反义词复现。
2 (2014年全国卷) He thought that Joe must be 58 __ 英语招聘广告, …Joe was there, a few meters from their tent, still alive.
58. A. dead B. hurt C. weak D. late
下文中alive和选项dead形成反义词复现。
五、同一语义场复现:空格处的信息与上文或者下文的某一个词同属于一个语义场。如:
1 (2011年全国卷) One woman's car, for example, went into the river. She woke up in four feet of 39 _________and thought it was raining.
39. A. dust B. water C. grass D. bush

45.A. flames B.smoke C. water D. steam
下文中extinguisher和选项flames属于同一语义场复现。
六、结构复现: 有时空格处的信息并不是与前句或后句中某个词的重复,可能是与前句或后句中某个短语结构的语义相同或相近。如:
韩文学习1 (2012年全国卷) I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and 24 _________with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat.
