因不能发现远距离复现词而错选
词汇复现是指某一个词以原词，或同/ 近义词
、
同根词如ill与
flower是
利用词汇 复现解题
rose的上义词、反义词如wrong与
等方式在同一语篇中重复
、上下义词如rose是flower的下义词，
如decide与
出现
的现象。词汇复现是语篇衔接的一个重要手段。我们在解答完形填空 题时，要留心选项中是否有与上下文中的词汇相对应的词，利用词汇 复现解题。
1．原词复现——在上下文中同一词汇重复出现
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅰ)During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits ...
I managed to get an A in that 53 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 54. classroom.
53．A.game C．course
B．presentation D．experiment
分析：本题可以利用原词复现解题。根据文章首句中的“the education department was offering a ‘free’ course”可知，“我”设法在那门“课程”上获得了A，此处是course的原词复现，故选C项。
2．同/近义词复现——意思相同、相近的表达方式，或者解释性的词汇复现
[典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅲ)The baby was born and update texts were 47.coming in quickly from the overjoyed grandmother, Teresa.In her 48 ， she didn’t seem to realize that she was 49.sharing the baby’s photos with a complete stranger.
48．A.opinion C．excitement
B．anxiety D．effort
分析：本题可以利用近义词复现解题。根据上文中的“the overjoyed grandmother”可知，此处填入的词应与“overjoyed (欣喜若狂的)”在语义范畴上一致，故选C项。
3．同根词复现——词形变化的词汇复现
[典例] (2016·北京高考)It was a cold January in 1925 in Nome, Alaska.The town was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.
...
How could the medicine get to Nome? The town’s 39.harbor was already full of ice, so it couldn’t come by ship.Cars and horses couldn’t travel on the 40 roads.
40．A.narrow C．busy
B．snowy D．dirty
分析：本题可以利用同根词复现解题。根据选文第一段可知，大雪覆盖了道路，切断了
小镇与世界的联系，故汽车和马无法在满是雪的(snowy)道路上行进，空格处与第一段最后一个单词snow是同根词复现。故选B。
4．上下义词复现——总括与分述的词汇复现
[典例] (2016·全国卷Ⅱ)Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out.Rani’s 59 — her warm smile, her nods, her ‘I’m here for you’ 60.attitude — were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.
59．A.forgiveness C．friendliness
B．eagerness D．skillfulness
分析：本题可以利用上下义词复现解题。根据下文“她温暖的微笑，她的点头，她的’我在这里为你我服务’的态度”等表明瑞妮很友好(friendliness)，故选C。其中smile，nod等是下义词(具体行为)，friendliness是上义词(概括)。
5．反义词
[典例] (2017·全国卷Ⅱ)I had advised the kids that while verbs (动词) may seem dull, most of the 50 things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.
50．A.simple C．fun
