今天先來講一講完形填空。完形填空最早是由英國學者泰勒(Taylor)根據(jù)格式塔心理學的原理所設計的。格式塔心理學家認為，人們觀察物體形狀時，往往會無意識地把物體看成是完整的，即使形狀中有空缺也會填補上去。人在閱讀過程中將空缺的詞語填補上去，也是同樣的道理。我們在做完形填空的時候就要特別注意，文章是一個有機的整體——我們千萬不能割裂上下文的聯(lián)系啊。
一、具體方法如下
1) 先通讀一遍全文，抓住文章的大意(main idea)或稱中心思想(controlling idea)——這一思想一般包含在由段首主題句、段尾結(jié)束語以及各種重復出現(xiàn)的詞語交織而成的信息網(wǎng)之中。對于與上下文關系很小的句內(nèi)題，如大多數(shù)語法和一些詞匯搭配題，可邊讀邊填。
2) 對于需要推敲的選擇項，一定要緊密聯(lián)系上下文，從多方面仔細推敲，尤其是大多數(shù)詞匯辨析考題，在分析詞匯間差別的時候，還應該充分考慮上下文構(gòu)造的語境。
3) 完成填空后，應再讀一遍文章，檢查還原的文章是否完整、合理、流暢。
二、心得體會：
1) 考試中對幾遍來做并無嚴格限定，實際上是變速跑，有的地方快，有的地方慢——一切盡在掌握之中。大家對時間應非常敏感，實際上在考前這個時間表大家就該琢磨多遍了?？倳r間一般建議連填涂答題卡在12-13分鐘，為閱讀省下2-3分鐘左右為宜。詞匯再為閱讀省下4-5分鐘，這樣閱讀就肯定能保證40分鐘(注意各題目交接有時間損耗)，就比較理想了。
2) 文章中間的中心思想一旦抓住，大家肯定有勢如破竹的感覺。因為連貫(coherence)是無處不在的——我們現(xiàn)在說的coherence通常包括cohesion(詞匯意義上的連結(jié))和狹義的coherence(意義層面上的連貫)。所以有許多詞直接奉送給大家就不足為奇了(但有的離得很遠喔)，還有的雖沒有原詞奉送，卻是反義詞或近義詞或相關詞匯的情形，就舉不勝舉了。
三、絕技傳授：
許多專業(yè)英語的完形測試是沒有選項的，難度很高——這給我們的啟示很大。完形的難度低于閱讀，與語法、詞匯、閱讀和寫作都有千絲萬縷的聯(lián)系。我們可以先想一個詞填在空中，然后再看選項比對，若有當然毫不猶豫地拿下；如無，取同義詞或近義詞即可。不要真接看選項——即使我們想不到一個好詞，大多數(shù)情況下也可構(gòu)擬出漢語意思。長此以往，對個人語感的培養(yǎng)有大的好處。大家不妨一試。
