考点分析: 考点1:短文填空短文填空答题技巧
这种题型失分较多。首先需要从整体上理解文章,这是很关键的。其次,要知道所给词语的意义和词性,一般来讲,所给的词语以名词、动词和形容词为主,有时也给出副词、介词、连词或代词。然后,通过文章内容尽力分析空白处所缺的部分是什么成分,应该用什么样的词性,实际上这里更多地涉及到了句法知识中的句子成分和简单句的基本句型等语法知识。比如说名词一般用作主语、宾语或表语;动词一般置于主语之后用作谓语;形容词一般用作定语、表语或宾语补足语;副词一般修饰谓语动作,用作状语;介词最大的特征是置于名词或代词之前,构成介词短语;连词一般用来引导一个从句。最后,把干扰选项排除掉,并且把答案都填进空白处检查一遍文章。
