英语短文填空答题技巧
短文缺词填空是要求学生在正确理解和把握文章意思的基础上,通过分析行文线索来填写空缺单词的一种考查形式。它是考查学生综合运用英语思维能力的一种有效方法。下面是一些英语短文填空答题技巧。
1. 从全局把握文章大意
要填的单词需要在一定的语言环境中才能确定,只有把握全局才能有主导方向,才能有助于正确理解空缺词所在的句子,从而缩小词意的选择范围。
2. 从语法上加以把握
一般的空缺词都可以通过其所在的句型结构和句法构成来判断其词性,这样可以缩小词的选择范围。
3. 从行文上确定词的形式
确定一个单词的词性后,可通过其上下文来帮助判断其形式,如动词的第三人称单数形式、过去式、过去分词、现在分词、名词的单复数、代词的各种所有格及单复数、形容词的比较级与最高级等。
4. 要注意文中提供的细节与暗示
要通过文章内容和所掌握的知识、运用推理、分析、判断来进行辨析。
5. 还需要注意的事项
(1)短文填空题型中的短文通常没有标题,要特别注重对首、尾句的理解,因为它们往往提示或点明文章的主题,对理解全文有较大帮助。
(2)第一遍通读带有空缺单词的短文时可能一时把握不住短文内容,弄不清头绪,这是很正常的。此时要注意克服畏难情绪和急躁心理,应稳定情绪,再将短文读一、二遍,直到明确大意为止。
(3)做题时切勿一看到一个空格就急着写出一个答案,这样往往只见树木不见树林。由于缺乏全局观念,极易导致连续选错。因为短文填空不同于单个句子的填词填空,其空白处是位于一篇文章之中,因此必须纵观全文,通篇考虑。
(4)动笔时先易后难,先完成容易、有把握的答案,这样可以增强自信心,然后再集中精力解决难点。对于实在无法确定的,可以从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找提示,大胆地作出猜测。
