短文填空的解题技巧与完形填空的基本一样,都需要对语篇进行分析判断,才能得出答案,但是短文填空倾向于考查语法知识多一些,因此,我们需掌握以下技巧:
短文填空题所涉及的语法内容通常包括:名词的单复数、动词的时态、形容词和副词、代词(人称代词主格和宾格、形容词性物主代词)、冠词(a/ an/ the)、介词(in/ on/ at/ of/ with/ for …)、连词(and/but/ because)、定语从句和被动语态等。

一、从语法方面考虑
【例 1】Will Johnson has worked his way up the list of most popular stars in his country. In fact, it is not surprising that Will is so successful if we know about his early life. Some valuable lessons he learnt as a child
have strongly influenced him 71 his later life. (2018·广东)
首页
末页
【解析】71. in 考查介词。此处指这些宝贵的经验在他以后的人生中对他有非常大的影响,表示“在某人一生中”用介词 in,故填 in。
【例 2】Even today when Will thinks that he won't be able to do something, he will look back to this experience and keep telling 80 , “one brick at a time”. (2018·广东)
首页
末页
【解析】80. himself 考查代词。 此处指每当 Will 没有信心去做某事时,他都会想起这段经历,并告诉他自己:一次砌一块砖,himself 指 Will,故填 himself。
在平时的学习中,同学们要多积累英语中的习惯用语和固定搭配,根据它们来完成短文填空。
【例 1】Each time they were about to give up, their father 78 them up patiently. Both brothers were so sad about the job at…(2018·广东)

二、从习惯用语和固定搭配方面考虑
【解析】78. cheered 考查动词。每次他们想要放弃时,父亲就使他们振作起来。cheer sb. up 使某人振作起来,为固定搭配,讲述的是过去的事情, 用一般过去时,故填 cheered。

【例 2】Each time they were about to give up, their father 78 them up patiently. Both brothers were so sad about the job at 79 , but after completing the task, they felt a sense of pride, and so did their father. (2018·广东)
【解析】79. first 考查数词。 由下文的 they felt a sense of pride 可知完成任务后,他们感到骄傲,由此推断此处指一开始时,他们是感到沮丧的,at first 一开始/ 起初,为固定搭配,故填 first。
有的设空必须要根据上下文的结构才能判断应该填什么单词,所以同学们在做题时要做到联系上下文,切忌断章取义。
【例 1】Once, Will and his brother Harry 73 given a job to rebuild a broken brick(砖) wall in the yard. The wall was fifty feet 74 and around sixteen feet high. The boys had to mix concrete(水泥) and place only one brick at a time. (2018·广东)
首页

三、从上下文的结构和语境方面考虑
【解析】74. long 考查形容词。由下文的 sixteen feet high(16 英尺高)可知,此处指的是墙的长度,即:50 英尺长,故填 long。

【例 2】For example, the two brothers have to go to the school 78 to borrow books for their scientific
projects, and Mr. and Mrs. … (2017·广东)
【解析】78. library 考查名词。根据空格后面的 borrow books 可推知此句是说去图书馆借书,故填
library。

So 9 do we solve this problem? Most of the left-behind children say they miss their parents a lot, especially during holidays.
