1. 首先要做的肯定是通读全文,了解大意,不要急于把我们能想到的单词填上去,先大致浏览一遍掌握文章中心思想,一篇短文中有许多空格,使文章不完整。所以,必须先通读全文1-2遍,尽力做到基本了解文章的主题句。注意文章提到的人物(who)、事物(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、原因(why)、及过程(how)。切记不要看一句,做一句。
2. 还要学会逐句分析,前后一致,所谓着眼于篇,着手于句,我们通读完全文过后我们还是得将单词放入句子当中一句一句地浏览细读,这样才能找到我们之前填写文章发生的错误。选择每句空格中应选的正确答案时,要考虑整个句子的内容,有时要考虑时态、语态、非谓语形式、习惯用语、介词、连词、关系词以及句子的结构等。前后一致指一句句子与全文,与上下文要保持时态一致、主谓一致、单复数一致、逻辑上一致,也就是要考虑上下文,使前后意思上连贯,符合逻辑与语法要求。
3. 在遇到我们不会的小题时,将给出的四个答案一个一个代入文章当中,看语句是否通顺,排除错误,确定答案,答题时应考虑一下命题人的意图,四种供选择的答案有何区别?每一小题考什么?明显错误的答案或不可能的首先剔除,这样可能一下子就化难为易了。有时也可能有两个答案一时难确定,如果近义词就要注意细微的区别,推敲琢磨一下,注意词的搭配和习惯用法。
4. 在我们确定好所有答案后我们再次通读全文,仔细比对答案是否合理,语句是否通顺,最后可用铅笔把选的词写在空格处,把短文从头到尾细读一遍,这时凭自己的语言知识和语感可感知全文是否流畅通顺。
