运用“跳读”或“边读边猜”等技巧把握中心大意。
短文的中心直接影响故事情节的发展,决定着各小题选项该如何确定。通过一到两遍的阅读,有些小题答案会在我们的脑海里浮现,比如2空填do,3空填something或food,5空填home或house或his factory,7空填and等等。
[注] 此时不要急于确定答案!

二、妙招二重视首句获信息
重视首句、突破首句。完形填空题所选用短文的第一句话通常是不设空的,目的是给同学们一个整体印象,同时提示短文的中心内容或提供故事发生的时间、地点、背景等。

三、妙招三全面考虑定选项
整体理解短文、把握中心并根据文中线索(含体裁、时态变化线索、词汇线索、句法线索、社会文化线索、上下文线索等)由易到难地做出选择。
[注] 不要试图从头至尾地去解答完形填空题。有的选项内容在短文的其他地方有较为明确的提示,甚至原封不动地重现。

Everything was30 fine 2 one day, as13 she was going31 back to her room on the 3 , she saw smoke coming out of another room. She 4 the captain32 from her room at once and told him about the fire.

3.从下文的captain, deck,可确定她是乘船去旅游。
4.由下文的from her room可知她马上打电话将情况告诉了船长。

7. as quickly as意为“尽快地”
(Keys: 1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A 5. C6. D 7. A)
四、妙招四复读全文验答案
把填充后的短文反复阅读一两遍(甚至多遍),逐一检查、校对所选答案是否符合短文中心及上下文要求,并确保没有不符合语言规范、不符合语法规则的选项。
[注] 很多同学做完形填空题存在一个误区,把很多的时间放到四个选项的比较上,这会降低解题效率。正确做法应是:
顺藤摸瓜,首先是藤,你拿到文章之后要重点读第一句。
瞻前顾后,在文章空格的上下文处,你觉得这个地方需要什么词,带着这个目的到四个选项里找。
顾全大局,做一道题时应该在段落里面理解一句话。
认清细节,比如考固定搭配的题。
猜想试题
