1. 通讀短文知大意,看整體全面了解

與閱讀理解題和其它類型的完形填空一樣,首先要通讀短文,了解文章的大意.每篇短文段落之間必然承上啟下、前呼后應.因此通讀全文時要一氣呵成,只要能了解短文的大意即可,細節(jié)不理解可以跳過.因此,在解題之前通讀一遍短文,目的是對文章有個全面的了解,弄清其中心思想和大意.

2. 復讀短文抓信息,前后照應巧猜詞

在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通讀短文,目的是對短文有更進一步的了解.在閱讀時要特別注意一篇文章的開頭（一般不設空）和結尾,它們能提供主要的信息,幫助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想.在閱讀過程中,要注意上、下文的關系,這對于把握文章的整體意義大有用處.另外,要學會跳讀,即對不理解的地方采用暫時回避的方式,待真正理解全文之后再找解決的方法.有些短文填空題,有時出現(xiàn)約 3%~5% 的生詞是很正常的,這就要求學生根據(jù)構詞知識或上、下文的意思加以猜測,來確定它的詞義.

再次通讀短文,對留空的句子進行全面的分析,看它在全文中所處的位置、作用和意義.這一遍閱讀要求是精心閱讀,要留心找出關鍵詞、短語或句子,還要結合所給首字母的提示,進行填寫,并注意單詞的正確形式.如第9小題，句意：他是二十世紀最優(yōu)秀的作家之一。表示第幾個世紀用序數(shù)詞，twenty的序數(shù)詞是twentieth，根據(jù)句意，故填twentieth。
