点评 考生在对题目进行作答之前,要先对题干进行详细阅读,检查题目中是否有提示词语存在;而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分,例如,主语、谓语等;最后根据其所充当的句子成分,加之其所处句子的语态等,选择词语的正确形式,例如,动词的现在分词或者过去分词,或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等.
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时,考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置,判断所填词语的词性,例如,连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等.定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前,起到对名词进行限制的作用.而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等.在运用介词的时候,往往考查介词的固定搭配,其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配.
