2009年填空式完形填空的解题技巧

　　一、跳过空格，了解大意

　　解题时先跳过空格，通读完形填空的短文，了解全篇的内容和要旨。要重视首句，善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点，理清文脉，推测全文主题及大意。

　　二、复读短文，判断词形

　　把握短文大意后再认真复读短文，利用上下文的语境，结合所学过的知识，先确定空格处所需词语的意义，再根据空格在句子中的位置，判断其在句中充当的成分，从而确定所填词的词性，再依据词语搭配和语法规则，判断所填的词的正确形式。

　　三、三读短文，验证答案

　　在短文的每一空白处填上一个词后，将完成的短文再细读一遍，上下参照，连贯思考。把所填的答案放入短文中进行检验，可从上、下文内容是否协调一致、顺理成章，语法结构是否正确无误等进行综合验证，凡有疑问必须重新推敲考虑。

　　四、实例分析

　　No. 01

　　用下面所给词的适当形式填空，使短文正确、通顺。(每个词语限用一次)

　　tell, find, try, be, look, but, so, at, animal, in, happy, not, you, and, heavily
