完形填空題不是單靠語感來決定選項的,一定要通過上下文的語境來決定。在答題之前,首先要對文章的主題和脈絡有個清晰的把握。
縱觀歷屆高考完形填空題,其文本多數(shù)是記敘文或夾敘夾議的文體,記敘文或夾敘夾議通常都是講述一個故事,正如蔡康永所說的“是個故事就要‘有意義,而且‘不順利?!?/p>
“有意義”就是故事的寓意,是指作者在經(jīng)歷某次事件之后從中得出的道理、感悟或經(jīng)驗教訓,通常會在故事的結尾點出,有時也會在故事的一開頭就說明。
“不順利”則是指作者或故事主人翁所經(jīng)歷的曲折,通常是開頭并不順利、歷經(jīng)磨難、出現(xiàn)轉機或終于成功做成某事或者脫險等,其中要經(jīng)歷自身心理的抗爭,身體的掙扎,故事情節(jié)可能跌宕起伏、經(jīng)歷一波三折,無論開頭有多么的艱難或多么的不幸,到故事的最后,情節(jié)都會出現(xiàn)反轉,主人公都會獲得成功、對社會做出了貢獻、心理起了變化、心靈得到救贖等。
因此,找出文中能體現(xiàn)文脈的或有關故事情節(jié)發(fā)展的關鍵語句,對正確解題至關重要。筆者從近幾年的高考試題中梳理出了有關文脈絡的詞匯,希望對考生考前復習有所幫助。
