完形填空首先應(yīng)該略讀全文，加以適當(dāng)猜測(cè)，對(duì)全文的大意有所了解，然后再逐句擊破。因?yàn)槲恼碌年P(guān)聯(lián)性，很多用詞前后關(guān)聯(lián)，單從一句出發(fā)不易找到答案。可能選項(xiàng)中不只一個(gè)單詞符合語(yǔ)法，但只有一個(gè)符合文章的意思。逐步填空，對(duì)照前后，填空時(shí)不要一空一空地去填。要對(duì)照前后部分。比如第三小題On my first ___3___, I was thirty years old.，根據(jù)前后句比較難判斷出填什么，要根據(jù)后文“What makes you feel you are fit for this job?” Mrs. Martin, the office manager asked me. “I really need this job and there is ___6___ I can’t do. I know I am not as ___7___ as your other applicants(申請(qǐng)人) for the job, but please give me a chance.可以比較容易判斷出是填什么。
