完形填空題的解題步驟：

1.通讀全文，理解大意。重視首句信息，跳過空格，瀏覽全文，從整體上感知全文，理解文章大意，這是解題的基礎。

2.瞻前顧后，避難就易。在理解文章大意的情況下，結(jié)合各選項的意義和用法，遵循先易后難的原則，先解決那些自己有把握的問題。對少數(shù)難題，暫時跳過，或許在上文中難以判斷的題在下文中就有暗示或者明顯的提示，或許一個在前面不能解答的題在填出了另一空后會令你豁然開朗。

3.復讀全文，解決殘敵。借助已經(jīng)補全的空格，對全文有了更清楚的理解，可以集中解決所遺留的少數(shù)疑難問題。

4.再次復讀，彌補疏漏，全部做好后，務必要結(jié)合自己選擇的答案重新閱讀短文內(nèi)容，確保全文文意連貫。16~18.【答案】A、C、C【解析】21．
