1、第二讲语境暗示文章是一个具有内在联系的整体,而上下文则是营造语境的基础,也是逻辑推理的依据。通读全文,理顺大意,根据上下文找出信息词是做好完形填空题的关键。近年来,高考试题中的完形填空题在命题设计上的趋势是朝着深层化及语境化的方面挖掘,逐渐摈弃单纯的语言分析考查,而越来越侧重逻辑推理判断。因此,只有借助上下文乃至全文语境的启示或限定才能够准确做出判断。1.上文提示典例1(2018江苏卷)“Our hair was fried and falling out, nails broken, clothes _51_ to a thread, but we were alive.”51.A.sewn

4、ashingC.eye-catching D.heart-stopping答案D前文说作者发现自己钱包丢失的时候感到害怕(fear seized me),heart-stopping表示“令人非常害怕的”,与前文的fear在含义上是一致的,因此选D。face-saving保全面子的;brain-washing洗脑的;eye-catching引人注目的,均不符合此处的语境。2.下文提示典例3(2017江苏卷)For a long time Gabriel didnt want to be involved in music at all.In his first years of high sc
