完形填空是高考英语中最难的一个题，正确解答完形填空题是考试成功至关重要的保障。完形填空的解题方法很多，我们就这道题就只讲词汇复现法。希望你们能掌握。词汇复现包括原词复现、同义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现以及结构复现等。完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇，因此，在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义或反义、相互照应等现象。所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。本题中的22题中的resentment和hate；32题中的solve和solutions；33题中的calmness与have a clear mind等都采用了这个方法，请同学们仔细体会。
