1. 通读短文知大意,看整体全面了解

与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样,首先要通读短文,了解文章的大意.每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应.因此通读全文时要一气呵成,只要能了解短文的大意即可,细节不理解可以跳过.因此,在解题之前通读一遍短文,目的是对文章有个全面的了解,弄清其中心思想和大意.

2. 复读短文抓信息,前后照应巧猜词

在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文,目的是对短文有更进一步的了解.在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头(一般不设空)和结尾,它们能提供主要的信息,帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想.在阅读过程中,要注意上、下文的关系,这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处.另外,要学会跳读,即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式,待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法.有些短文填空题,有时出现约 3%~5% 的生词是很正常的,这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测,来确定它的词义.

再次通读短文,对留空的句子进行全面的分析,看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义.这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读,要留心找出关键词、短语或句子,还要结合所给首字母的提示,进行填写,并注意单词的正确形式.如第9小题,句意:他是二十世纪最优秀的作家之一。表示第几个世纪用序数词,twenty的序数词是twentieth,根据句意,故填twentieth
