一、答題技巧
1. 首先,通讀短文,理解主旨大意,理清句子之間、段落之間的邏輯關系。然后,仔細閱讀短文,借助行文邏輯準確理解句意,根據句意判斷空白處所填單詞的意思。
2. 選定單詞后,要根據上下文的時態、句中前后詞語的線索、句子的結構、單詞在句中的成分等確定該詞的正確形式。
3. 如果選定動詞,先判斷是作謂語,還是作非謂語。如果作謂語,需要考慮時態、語態以及主謂一致;如果作非謂語,需要考慮用哪種非謂語動詞形式(不定式、動詞?ed形式或動詞?ing形式)。如果選定名詞,需要根據其前修飾詞或句意考慮是否用復數形式。
4. 如果作定語,需要考慮是否將其變為形容詞或名詞的所有格形式。如果選定代詞需要根據句子成分考慮其格或數的變化,或考慮是人稱代詞還是物主代詞,是形容詞性物主代詞還是名詞性物主代詞。如果選定形容詞,需要考慮是否變為副詞作狀語,或變為比較級或最高級形式。
5. 填完后,一定要認真通讀全文,仔細檢查句意是否通順、前后是否自然連貫、詞性和詞形是否正確等。
