完型填空题解题策略 ——记叙文突破
记叙文体裁主要是记人、叙事、写景、状物一类的文章，具体地说，它是借助叙述、描写、抒情等手段记叙社会生活中的人、事、景、物的情态及其发展过程，用以表现作者的思想，抒发作者某种情感的文章形式。近几年的高考完形填空题中的记叙文主要以叙事、记人为主，如幽默故事、童话故事、历史故事、人物传记和新闻报道等。
记叙文是中学英语阅读材料中最常见的文体，其语言特点有：
1、以一般过去时为主，其他时态为辅。合理使用丰富多彩的谓语动词时态，而这种复杂的时态特征在汉语记叙文中是根本没有的。正是有了动词时态的变化，才使英语文章中所叙述的动作有了层次感和立体感。
2、广泛使用动词，特别是动态动词。由于这些动词的存在，文章就会充满“动感”，而这种让往事历历在目的“动感”正是优秀的记叙文所要追求的。
3、适当运用直接引语。直接引语的使用可以代替间接的主观叙述，简洁、生动地表达出事件发展的过程和各种人物的心理活动，充分展示人物的独特个性和人物之间的相互关系。
解答记叙文体的完形填空时，应着重把握以下几点：
1、了解文章的结构形式。通常为了叙述方便，作者会按时间先后顺序或空间顺序等方式来安排情节和内容。其优点是条理清楚，层次分明。读者也较容易理解和接受。但是有时为了突出某个情节或为了增加阅读趣味，或为了其他目的，作者可能会采用插叙，甚至倒叙的写作手法。弄清了文章篇章信息的分布情况，有助于抓住文章的主线，理清文章的脉络。
2、明确作者的写作目的。就事论事肯定不是记叙的目的，而通过叙述阐明一个道理，同是作者必须考虑的。只有心中有了目的，在情节选择和细节描写上才会作出合理的安排。明晰了写作目的，就能抓住文章的主题。
3、知晓文章所记叙的几大要素。为了使读者清楚地了解一件事的起因、经过和结局，作者就有必要在记叙文中将事件、人物、时间、地点、原因(why)和结果等要素讲清楚。这六个要素是记叙文的基本组成部分，一般不能缺少。弄清了这六个要素，基本上就理解了整篇文章。
4、弄清文章是以第几人称的视角展开记叙的。通常英语记叙文展开记叙的视角有两个：
第一人称和第三人称。用第一人称就是从“参与者”的角度进行记叙，读者可从字里行间感受到作者亲切的态度和深厚的感情。用第三人称就是以“观察者”的身份展开叙述，作者的语气客观，与读者保持着一定的距离，读者的注意力更多集中在故事本身。了解了作者的写作角度有助于我们走进作者的思维，深入理解文章的意义。
