从选项中具体的词汇考虑，我们首先研究了英语（一）和英语（二）20余套历年真题中的1400多个选项，发现一共考查了1140个不同的单词或词组，重复率近20%。这里的统计忽略了名词的单复数，忽略了动词的时态（例如claimed和claims），也忽略了绝对的同源词汇（例如admission和admitted），结果发现有下列单词或词组不止一次在选项中出现。
从上面的数据我们可以看出，绝大多数的实词不会高频出现，但是反复出现的实词也必须引起考生足够的重视和注意；虚词出现的频率很高。
红花词 （往往入选的词）：
1. however ad.
表示“然而，但是”，在完形填空中，however入选的概率要远远大于but。however有特殊用法，放句中，前后往往要加逗号；放句首，后面要加逗号；放句尾，前面要加逗号。有类似用法的词或短语还有 for example，for instance，though（仅限副词词性），nevertheless，it turns out。例如：
The clock is old; it is, however , in good condition. （位于句中 ）这座钟很老了，但是状况良好。
2. 常见的让步状语从句的引导词
主要有：although，though，even though，even if。例如：
a. Though/Although he tried hard,（yet/still）he failed. 尽管他努力去尝试，但还是失败了。
b. The family is the essential presence—the thing that never leaves you, even if you find you have to leave it. 家庭是不可或缺的——它永远不会离开你，即使你发现你不得不离开它。
注意：当though/although引导从句时，主句前不可用but，但可用yet/still。
3. yet/still/already
yet表示“尚（未）”，与already相对，常用于否定句和疑问句。already的意思是“已经”，常用于肯定句。still表示无变化的延续性。例如：
The guests are already here. But the meat is not ready yet .It still has to be cooked for another five minutes. 客人已经到了，但是肉还没有准备好，还要再炖五分钟。
注意：already偶尔也用于疑问句，具有“惊奇”的意味。例如：
Have you finished the work already ? You are very speedy. 你的活已经干完了？你的速度蛮快嘛。
4. because的相关考点
（1）because，for，as，since的区别（详见下一节“利用逻辑关系解题”部分）。
（2）because和because of的区别在于，because是连词，后面跟句子，because of是介词，后面跟名词，这是英语（二）大纲样题中的考点。
（3）because的同义词是inthat，这是英语（一）真题的考点。
5. while的用法
（1）while位于句首，一般表示“尽管……”，引导让步状语从句。
a. While I sympathize with （同意） your point of view, I cannot accept it. 尽管我同意你的观点，但是我不能接受。
b. While he has time, it doesn't mean he has capacity and patience. 尽管他有时间，但并不意味着他有能力和耐心。
（2）when/while/as的区别
when可表示从句动作与主句动作同时发生，或先于主句动作而发生。while仅表示从句的动作与主句的动作同时发生，并且有延续的含义，因此，从句所用的谓语动词常常是延续性的。as表示从句动作与主句动作并列发生，所以常常译为“一边……一边……”，有时也可表示从句动作先于主句动作而发生。从时间上来说，when可指一段时间，也可指时间点；while仅可指一段时间；as主要指一段时间，和when一样也可指时间点。例如：
When （ While/As ）I was walking down the street, I noticed a police car in front of No.37.（指一段时间）
当我沿着街往前走的时候，我发现37号门前停着一辆警车。
When John arrived, I was cooking lunch.（指时间点）
约翰来的时候，我正在做午饭。
When they heard the news, they were much alarmed.（从句动作先于主句动作）
听到这个消息，他们非常惊恐。
While she sang, she danced.（指一段时间；主、从句动作同时发生）
她一边唱歌一边跳舞。
While the child was playing with his toys, his parents were reading books.（指一段时间；主、从句动作同时发生）
那个孩子在玩玩具，他的父母在看书。
They shouted slogans as they passed the square.（指并列发生的动作）
他们高呼着口号通过广场。
As （ When ）he stood up, he dropped the glass.（指时间点）
他站起来的时候把杯子碰掉了。
注意：
①when有时可用作并列连词，表示“就在那时”（justatthattime）。该用法经常作为考点出现在各类英语水平考试中，故应引起考生的注意。该用法经常出现在以下结构中：
be doing sth. when ...
be about to do sth. when ...
had hardly/almost done sth. when ...
②while也可以用作并列连词，相当于whereas，连接一个表示对比的并列分句。例如：
You like sports while I'd like to read.
你喜欢体育而我喜欢读书。
有时，while连接的此类句子放在句首，但仍表示并列关系。例如：
While their country has plenty of oil, ours h as none.
他们国家有很多石油，可是我们国家一点儿也没有。
（3）while可以引导省略句
while引导省略式的状语从句的条件：
a. 从句主语与主句主语相一致
b. 从句是系表结构
同时满足以上两个条件之后，可省去从句中的主语和系动词。例如：
He will go to school while he is ill. 这句话最好改为He will go to school while ill.
我们以1997年试题为例：
The phenomenon provides a way for companies to remain globally competitive 48 avoiding market cycles and the growing burdens imposed by employment rules, health care costs and pension plans.
A. but
B. while
C. and
D. whereas
本题选B。表示主句的动作和从句的动作同时进行时，“while+doing”可以看作一个固定结构，但实际上while后面省略了the phenomenonis。这里不是对立情况，因此whereas和but不可选；这里虽为并列情况，但and不符合语法。while是常考考点，应该注意！
6. for example
意思是“例如”，放句中时前后加逗号；放句首时后面加逗号；放句尾时前面加逗号。
我们以2003年试题为例：
However, the typical teenage lifestyle is already filled with so much competition that it would be wise to plan activities in which there are more winners than losers, 28 , publishing newsletters with many student-written book reviews, displaying student artwork, and sponsoring book discussion clubs.
A. in effect
B. as aresult
C. for example
D. in a sense
28题空白处前面说的是胜者多而败者少的活动，下文列举了具体的活动，也就是说前面是综述，后面是实例，空格所填词应该表示例证的关系，故C项“例如”正确。其余三项均无此意：A项“实际上”；B项“结果”；D项“在某种意义上”。
7. since prep. / conj.
“因为，既然；自从”。这个词在完形填空中出现的频率非常高，遗憾的是，到目前为止还没有入选过。我们来研究一下它在什么情况下入选，先看下面两个例句：
a. I've worked in this company since 1980. 我从 1980 年起就在这家公司工作。
b. I've worked inth is company since I left school.（从句用一般过去时 ）我从学校毕业后就在这家公司工作。
注意：不能说since three years，而要说since three years ago。
通过研究我们发现，since的常见用法是连接现在完成时和一般过去时，也就是说空前空后如果出现这两种时态，是有可能选since的。
8. lest conj.
“唯恐，以免，免得”，用于fear或be afraid之后，类似于that。例如：
Be careful lest you fall from that tree. 要当心，以免从树上摔下来。
I was afraid lest he might come too late. 我怕他来得太晚。
若in case/lest引导的从句涉及虚拟语气，要跟should+动词原形。
9. if only=I wish
可见，if only所接的时态只能是过去时，而题目当中的时态往往是一般现在时，不是过去时，所以不能选。
一般现在时表示经常发生的动作和习惯性行为，表示真实发生的情况，而虚拟语气表示假的、不会发生或者可能发生的情况，因此虚拟语气和一般现在时往往不能同时出现在一个句子中。
10. asto
（1）with regard to关于
We are puzzled as to how it happened. 关于它是如何发生的，我们很迷惑。
（2）according to按照
Candidates were chosen as to ability. 候选者是根据能力选出的。
11. what从句
（1）what只能引导主、宾、表语从句；
（2）what不能引导定语从句和同位语从句，也就是说what前不能有名词；
（3）what后面的从句通常不完整。
相关知识：
①凡是从句部分不完整的，98%是定语从句，1%是what从句，1%是省略式状语从句；
②同位语从句、表语从句引导词只能用that，不能用which；只能用whether，不能用if。
英国语言学家佛思（J．R．Firth）有一句名言：You shall know a word by the company it keeps!（了解一个词，得看它与什么词结伴！）在某种意义上，搭配的重要性不亚于语法。完形填空的试题中有很大一部分是对搭配的考查，这其中包括动词与名词、动词与副词、动词与介词、名词与介词、形容词与介词、形容词与名词的搭配等。以2010年试题为例，我们可以发现该年试题中对搭配的考查就有以下几种：
动词与名词affected（workers'productivity）（第1题）；
hitting（aplateau）（第20题）
动词与副词（ended）up（第2题）；duly（rose）（第16题）
形容词与名词（very）act（第3题）；perplexing（behavior）（第4题）；
（systematic）evidence（第13题）；
misleading（interpretations）（第14题）
动词与介词（were）subjected（to）（第11题）
动词与不定式continued（to rise）（第17题）；tended（tobe diligent）（第19题）
由此可知，掌握词汇的搭配，提高灵活运用词汇的能力，是考生应对完形填空试题的重要途径。
完形填空试题对词汇应用能力的考查除了词义辨析和词汇搭配方面，还有习语、短语动词和固定搭配。以下为近十年来对习语、短语动词和固定搭配的具体考查情况：
习语
above all 首先；首要（2009,18）
according to 根据（2014,12）
apart from 除……之外（2014,12）
as a result 结果（2012,20）
at first 起初；起先（2005,12）
a big picture 整体情况，全局（2013,3）
a rare bird 不寻常的人或物（2008,2）
by oneself 单独地（2010,10）
contrary to... 与……相反的（2010,12）
even if 即使；尽管（2005,6）
for example 例如（2010,15）
for instance 例如（2009,14）
instead of...代替……（2014,12）
in turn 转而；轮流（2004,32;2014,8）
it turns out... 结果是……（2014,6）
on the mind of... ……心里所想的（2009,12）
regardless of... 不管……，不顾……（2014,12）
so far 迄今（2009,20）
so long as 只要（2010,7）
短语动词
end up... 以……告终（2010,2）
put down to 归因于（2008,15）
subject to 使经受（2008,19;2010,11;2012,6）
turn around 使好转；有起色（2006,16）
turn out 结果是（2009,5）
固定搭配
be rooted in...植根于……（2011,12）
be soft on... 对……心软或仁慈（2013,6）
feed back on... 对……的反馈（2014,17）
in terms of... 就……而言（2012,35;2014，6）
keep track of 跟踪，记录（2014,16）
take sth. into consideration 考虑某事（2013,14）
这里对介词搭配做一点补充说明，完形填空试题中考查介词与其他词类构成的普通搭配的情形较少，而通常以习语、短语动词或固定搭配的形式出现。
