11、要注意以下两个方面:明确说明对象,理清段落关系。说明文的首段一般就将主题明确地告诉读者,在浏览全文时,要注意把握文章的主题。同时,要分清各个段落之间的关系,搞清楚分别是说明对象的哪一方面的特征。理清说明顺序,分析说明手段。说明文完形填空一般会按照时间、空间、情节发展等顺序来展开,并运用举例、对比、演绎、归纳等方式进行介绍或说明。掌握这个特点,可以系统地分析文章,提高对题率。2.考点技巧利用背景常识解题完形填空作为独立的语篇,以其自身的内容提供完整的语篇信息,但其中渗透着相关的文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。在做题时,若能积极调动自己的文化背景知识和生活常识,特别是有关中西文化差异的知
