【应试技巧】
1、通读全文
首先要通读全文，了解文章大意，只有完全理解句子的意思，才能准确填词。快速阅读时，还要注意找出关键词，这些词在文中起支撑骨架的功能，抓住了关键词就抓住了故事的线索。特别是要重视首句，善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点，理清文脉，推测全文时态、主题及大意。
2、判断词性、词义
找出关键词、短语和句子，利用上下文的语境，先确定空格处所缺词的意义，再根据空格处在句中的位置，判断所缺词在句子所充当的成分，从而确定所填词的词性。然后根据所给的首字母提示以及词语搭配和语法规则，判断所填词是否正确。如短文难度较大，尤其是难于选词时，从本句的前后观察中一时尚不得要领，就要进一步扩大到上下文中分析。
3、复查验证
答题完毕后，再认真审读全文，检查所填单词是否与文章要求相符合，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无语法错误等，最后确定答案。在短文的空白处分别填上一个词后，将完成的短文再细读一遍，上下参照，连贯思考。可从上下文内容是否协调一致、顺理成章，语法结构是否正确无误等进行综合验证，凡有疑问必须重新推敲考虑。
