点评 句子填空题对中国学生来说难度较大的一种类型，在很多情况下这是因为词汇量的欠缺．首先，尝试每个选项，语感对于做这类题来说有着很重要的作用，在了解词汇意思的基础上，对于部分题目，我们只需将每个选项放入句中阅读一次，对于语感强的考生来说，这样的方法可以使他们迅速的选出答案，避免过多的对句子进行语法和逻辑分析，浪费时间．其次，仔细阅读，分析逻辑，对于大部分考生而言，对句子的语法逻辑关系进行分析才是最为有效的方法，就技巧而言，必须强调对一些提示逻辑关系关键词的把握如if，then，therefore，also，sometimes，never，not，和 always等，这些词在SAT的句子填空中尤为重要，它们的一个小小的变化可以使句子意思大不一样．其三，善用词根词缀猜词，如果考生对词根和词缀熟悉，在考试过程中就可以推断出一些词语的意思，同时通过对英语构词法的学习学生可以将一个生词同一个自己认识的词语联系起来，这样在很大程度上可以解决词汇匮乏的问题．
