完形填空题型主要测试同学们在语篇层面上综合运用语言的能力, 在解答试题之前应快速阅读全文, 抓住文章的主题, 搞清作者的思路及上下文的逻辑关系。一般说来, 通读的关键是弄清第一句(往往点明主题, 且是没留空白的完整句)和最后一句(往往总结、概括全文)。另外, 在浏览全文的时候, 要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、事件, 即wh, when, where, what。比如上面的这篇完形填空, 最后一段“Thanks t Wasana’s quick actin and careful bservatin, ______was hurt in the incident. Wasana later ______a Gld Star frm the Fundatin fr Civilian Bravery, Sri Lanka. ”就是文章的中心所在。14题可以推断出是无人受伤, 15题进而得知他被授予了奖项。这些都和文章中心紧密关联。
