17、夹叙夹议类的完形填空一般有以下三种结构特点：1.事例观点：先叙述一件事情，然后针对这件事情发表自己的看法或揭示生活的真理。2.观点事例：先提出一种观点或看法，然后围绕这一观点或看法用具体的事例来说明。 一般是一个事例，有时也会用几个事例从不同的侧面加以说明。3.观点事例观点：首先提出一种观点或看法，然后用事例说明，最后再进一步阐述或总结自己的观点。二、解题技巧1.分析结构，抓住作者观点。 在做题时大家要借助文章结构，认真体会记叙和议论的关系，抓住作者的观点，明确文章的组织方式。 看文章属于上述哪种结构，从而明白作者的思路。2.重视首句，把握文章主题。 首句往往是文章的关键句、引题句或主题句。

18、通过首句可以初步判断文章的写作中心，为全面理解文章打开一扇“窗户”。3.叙议兼顾，理解议论内涵。 夹叙夹议中叙与议是一个有机的整体，叙是议的基础，而议是叙的升华。 在读这类文章时，掌握议论部分的内容是关键，因为叙述是为作者的议论而服务的。 所以只有把故事和哲理联系起来，再结合人物心理和行为的描述，全面把握文章才能正确解题。4.抓住转换，理清逻辑关系。 抓住记叙与议论的转换，及时调整思维方式，理清上下文之间的逻辑关系，在充分把握语境的基础上，辨析词语，进一步把握作者的观点、态度，找到正确答案。(2018和平区三模)Whenever we hear about “the homeless”，mos
