【試題點(diǎn)評(píng)】完型填空為了測(cè)試考生實(shí)際應(yīng)用英語(yǔ)的能力和語(yǔ)感。具體說來(lái)，是從語(yǔ)篇的角度綜合測(cè)

試考生的閱讀理解能力、詞匯的掌握和對(duì)英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)的熟悉程度、以及語(yǔ)法規(guī)則的靈活運(yùn)用。這部

分大家一定要注重思路和尋找線索能力的訓(xùn)練，一般做題的基本思路是，根據(jù)已知信息去填空，根據(jù)

空前后的線索來(lái)選擇填什么。比方說，題目讓考生填主句的內(nèi)容，那么從句中就會(huì)有相應(yīng)的說明。題

目讓考生填動(dòng)詞，原文常常在別的地方出現(xiàn)這個(gè)動(dòng)詞的同義詞。那么如何判斷呢？首先根據(jù)需要填寫

動(dòng)詞后面出現(xiàn)的賓語(yǔ)，找到有同一賓語(yǔ)的句子，該句中的動(dòng)詞就是所需填寫詞的同義詞。

【試題點(diǎn)評(píng)】新題型要求考生從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系，理解句子之間、段落之

間的關(guān)系，對(duì)諸如連貫性、一致性等語(yǔ)段特征有較強(qiáng)的意識(shí)和熟練的把握，并具備運(yùn)用語(yǔ)法知識(shí)分析

理解長(zhǎng)難句的能力。新題型有三種題型，不同的題型考查的重點(diǎn)不同，因此有不同的解題思路和技巧，

需要考生全面把握，尤其是對(duì)于完形填句(段)題和排序題，是對(duì)語(yǔ)言能力和閱讀理解能力的綜合

測(cè)試，因此在要求上遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于小標(biāo)題選擇題和觀點(diǎn)例證題，考生有必要對(duì)這類題型的答題思路多練習(xí)，

以提高自己在這個(gè)部分的應(yīng)試能力。
