【解题指导】
1. 速读全文，掌握大意
完形填空一般是一篇短文，是一个内容完整的整体，有它自己的逻辑、组织结构和语言特点。即使文章中去掉某些词语，学生读后仍能产生一个整体印象。因此第一步就是快速通读全文，了解短文的大意，绝不要一开始就看一句做一句。通读全文有利于把握短文的逻辑关系，提高选择答案的速度和准确率。
2. 抓住主题，注意体裁
考生在阅读时要善于把握英语短文的结构特征。一般来说，短文的中心句是第一句，但也有可能是最后一句。通过中心句可以推断短文的背景、体裁和主题。把握了各部分的主题句，也就把握了整篇文章的框架与中心，从而有助于考生选择正确答案。
3. 利用已知信息分析推理
考生一定要充分利用上下文，细心体会。语义连贯、语法正确是解题的关键所在。切忌独立地区别每个单词或短语的意义，而应将其置于短文之中，联系上下文，从语义、语法结构，甚至语体色彩等多个角度加以比较。在处理语法问题时，考生需充分利用习惯用法和各种语法分析手段（如时态、语态、语序、主谓一致等）。
4. 全篇复校，认真验证
做完所有的选择后并没有万事大吉，还应该把短文再读一遍，检查内容是否明白，全文是否流畅，是否符合逻辑，是否符合语言环境和语法习惯。反复推敲，确保准确无误。
