1.首先要以很快的速度瀏覽全文，掌握文章的主旨，不要急于看選項。瀏覽全文時要重點了解文中所敘述的人物、時間、地點、事件，即who，when，where，what。
完形命題的原則一般是第一句話不挖空，目的是使讀者進入語境，因此一定要認真閱讀這句話。
例如：Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next?這句話從鐵軌之間的縫隙引出了問題。根據(jù)常識，文中內(nèi)容應(yīng)與熱漲冷縮的物理現(xiàn)象有關(guān)。
2.根據(jù)故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展選詞，確定所填的詞與文中哪個詞有關(guān)系以及動作是在什么場合發(fā)生的。
3.試填之后將所選定的詞放到文章中復(fù)讀檢查。(“字面譯、通邏輯、搞代入、全文譯”)
具體操作中應(yīng)注意的問題
1.看清上下文，找準定位詞
充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到對選擇有提示作用的詞或句。這些詞有時可能是同義詞或反義詞。例如：
1)Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very very___________.
A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous
根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but的提示，所填入的詞應(yīng)與shallow相反，因此答案為A。
2)Mrs O’Neill asked_______questions?and she didn’t scold us either.
A. no B. certain C. many D. more
and是一個并列連詞；either為副詞，用在否定句或否定詞后加強語勢，由此可以確定所填的詞也應(yīng)是一個否定意義的詞，因此答案是A。
2.通順邏輯，尋求搭配
注意固定的搭配，包括動詞與介詞的搭配、動詞與名詞的搭配以及形容詞與名詞的搭配等，同時要根據(jù)內(nèi)容選擇正確的短語。例如：
3.扎實基礎(chǔ)，搞清辨異
Soon I heard a_______like that of a door burst in?and then a climb of feet.
A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
選項中的四個詞都表示不同的聲音，但B，C，D項的三個詞都是指從嗓子里發(fā)出的聲音，而sound則表示各種各樣的聲音。因此答案是A。
4.看清執(zhí)行者，確定所選詞
And video cameras can be used to_______people’s actions at home.
A. keep B. make C. record D. watch
句中動作的發(fā)出者是video cameras?因此答案是C，意思是“記錄”。
5.尋求上下邏輯，從容確定關(guān)系
It has been many years since I was last in London_______I still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as
根據(jù)句前的many years和句后的still remember答案應(yīng)選表示轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞but.
6.了解生活常識，確定相關(guān)知識
在這樣的緊急情況下，人們的第一個反應(yīng)是到最近的醫(yī)院就醫(yī)，因此答案為D。
