詞語同現(xiàn)、詞語復(fù)現(xiàn)和邏輯推理是解答完形填空的三大策略，領(lǐng)會和掌握這三大策略對提高完形填空的解題速度和準確率都大有裨益。

一、詞語同現(xiàn)

詞語同現(xiàn)是指意義上相關(guān)的詞匯有可能出現(xiàn)在同一語篇中，構(gòu)成以某一話題為中心的詞匯鏈，也有人稱之為語義場。

[例1]A man was trying to take a photo of a crow（烏鴉）that had a nest in a tower， but the crow always left when she saw his coming. The bird did not ________until the man left the tower.

A. relax B. recover C. react D. return

解析：return與left相對，“離開”“返回”這兩者屬于詞語同現(xiàn)，故選D。

二、詞語復(fù)現(xiàn)

詞語復(fù)現(xiàn)指某一個詞以原詞、同根詞、同義詞、反義詞（如wrong與not correct ）、上義詞、下義詞等方式重復(fù)出現(xiàn)在語篇中，語篇中的句意就是通過這種復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系達到相互銜接的。如：

[例2]Fore example， many birds have good number sense... Another interesting experiment showed a birds ________

number sense.

A. amazing B. annoying C. satisfying D. disturbing

解析：選項中的“amazing （令人驚異的）”與上文中“good number sense（良好的數(shù)字感）”中的good相對應(yīng)，屬近義復(fù)現(xiàn)，故選A。

[例3]Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a change in number...It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world， and that our human ________ is not much better than a crows.

A. sight B. nature C. ability D. belief

解析：與上文中number sense ability “數(shù)字感知能力” 中ability是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，故選C。

三、邏輯推理

在做完形填空時許多考生都會有這樣的經(jīng)歷，即使他們對選項當中的每個詞的意思都非常清楚，但得分不高。因為完形填空考查的是一種綜合能力，不僅是對詞匯的考查，對句子之間和上下文之間邏輯關(guān)系的推斷也是完形填空考查的重點。其中邏輯關(guān)系主要包括因果關(guān)系、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系、對比關(guān)系、并列關(guān)系等。

[例4]If a nest has four eggs and you remove one， the bird will not notice. However， if you remove two， the bird generally leaves. This means that the bird knows the ________between two and three.

A. distance B. range C. difference D. interval

解析：通過對上文兩個實驗的對比，“從四個蛋中拿走一個，鳥兒不會注意到”和“從四個蛋中拿走兩個，鳥兒就會發(fā)現(xiàn)”可推斷出鳥兒能知道“一”和“二”的區(qū)別，故選C。

[例5]For example， babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from ________group. But when the number goes beyond three or four， the children are often fooled.

A. single B. small C. local D. new

解析：從表轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞But可知，上句和下句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，下句提到“當數(shù)量超過三和四時，孩子就往往被愚弄”，換句話說“數(shù)量較少時，孩子就不會注意到了”，故選B。
