考點(diǎn)39短文填空之首字母填空

首字母填空是根據(jù)句意和已給出的首字母，在句子的空白處填上適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~，使句子意思完整，語法

正確的一種題型。該題型既考查學(xué)生的單詞記憶和拼寫能力，又考查學(xué)生對(duì)句子的理解和運(yùn)用能力。

二、滿分技巧

1.跳過空格，不看選項(xiàng)，快速地閱讀全文，從整體上感知全文，掌握大意，了解全篇的內(nèi)容和要旨。

快速閱讀時(shí)寧粗勿細(xì)，切忌只盯住一個(gè)句子倉促解題，這樣勢(shì)必因胸?zé)o全局而誤入歧途。快速閱讀時(shí),

還要注意找出關(guān)鍵詞，這些詞在文中起支撐骨架的功能，抓住了關(guān)鍵詞就抓住了故事的線索。特別是要重

視首句，善于以首句的時(shí)態(tài)、語氣為立足點(diǎn)，理清文脈，推測(cè)全文時(shí)態(tài)、主題及大意。

2.復(fù)讀短文，確定語義，判斷詞形。

把握短文大意后再認(rèn)真復(fù)讀短文，利用上下文的語境，結(jié)合所學(xué)過的知識(shí)，先確定空格處所需詞語的

意義，再根據(jù)空格在句子中的位置，判斷其在句中充當(dāng)?shù)某煞?，從而確定所填詞的詞性，再依據(jù)詞語搭配

和語法規(guī)則，判斷所填詞的正確形式。如短文難度較大，尤其是難于選詞時(shí)，從本句的前后觀察中一時(shí)尚

不得要領(lǐng)，就要進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大到上下文中分析。

3.三讀短文，上下參照，驗(yàn)證答案。

在短文的空白處分別填上一個(gè)詞后，將完成的短文再細(xì)讀一遍，上下參照，連貫思考?？蓮纳舷挛膬?nèi)

容是否協(xié)調(diào)一致、順理成章，語法結(jié)構(gòu)是否正確無誤等進(jìn)行綜合驗(yàn)證，凡有疑問必須重新推敲考慮。

跟蹤訓(xùn)練

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容及首字母提示，填寫所缺單詞，使短文意思完整。
