　　语篇意义
( l/ @. u' q; Z3 @0 A; G　　一篇内容充实，结构合理，行文流畅的短文所依赖的不只是词汇和语法，更多的是篇章技巧。借助于篇章技巧成文，在复现作者的语言时同样可以借助篇章技巧。完形填空毕竟不同于单项选择，作为一个意思连贯，结构完整的语篇，其中篇章技巧的使用是完形填空解题中至关重要的手段。
3 j9 Q2 f- M  Q' G+ ?7 _　　1. 运用词汇复现技巧：
) [0 Z3 @% ]! ~1 c) x　　复现有原词复现、同义词复现、反义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现等。完形填空中，可以利用上下文的复现信息，确定正确的表达方式。
　　2．运用词汇同现技巧
　　同现指意义上相互联系的单词同时出现在同一语篇当中。一个语篇，一个话题，要求与之相连的词汇。由于单词意义的差别、所使用的语域不同，因此所适应的上下文也各有别。为
　　3. 逻辑关系
　　一个完整的语篇应该是符合逻辑的，文章逻辑关系的取得主要靠转承语的使用。正确使用转承语，是保证文章连贯和谐，保证文章逻辑的有效手段。在做完形填空时通过对上下文的理解，找到适当的逻辑关系，然后选择正确的转承语。因此有必要掌握各种转承语的用法。
　　完形填空的目的不是阅读，而是根据阅读掌握的信息恢复作者写作的原貌。从转承语上来说，要根据文章的语意发展和逻辑关系，确定适当的词语。
% B; n/ \. \- ]( ]; i　　转承语与连词不同。连词一般是句子层面上的东西，要求理解的是一句中主从句之间的语意联系，而转承语要求考生掌握的是语篇层面上的东西，需根据语篇上下文的逻辑关系才能确定适当的表达方式。因此，在转承语的选择上，要仔细阅读文章的上下文内容，从整体上去把握。中华考试网(www．Examw。com)
　　4. 根据文章的类型结构解答完形填空
　　四六级完形填空多以说明文和议论文为主，说明文，议论文一般采用分类、比较对照、因果、例证等方式谋篇。正确把握文章的结构类型有助于文章的理解，也因此有助于完形填空的解答。完形填空的任务是在正确理解短文的基础上再现作者的语言表达方式。为此，应注意加强文章谋篇布局的分析。
( b7 G; h; ^7 D6 ^3 J　　总之，要做好完形填空，必须对篇章充分理解，不应当只看到所填的词在短语或句子内是否可行，还要从上下文考虑，使所选答案既要符合语法，又要符合意义逻辑，还要做到词与词搭配得当。
